Upon the decease of his brother he purchased from the heirs their. interest in the farm and has since added to his possessions by the purchase of neigh- boring farms, so that his estate now includes two thousand six hundred acres, of which four hundred acres (the old Gibson farm) is in the town of Francestown, and the remainder is in the town of Weare.

M. Eastman, of Manches- ter. At the age of twenty-five years he returned to Weare, and settled upon what was known as the Lucius Tuttle place near the old homestead in South Weare, on which he now resides.

Salisbury, and died October 8, 176r, in Hopkinton, New Hampshire. He lived for a time in Salisbury, Massachusetts, but later removed to Concord, New Hampshire, where he was an early settler.

He was married June 10, 1714, to Abigail Merrill, daughter of John and Lucia (Webster) Merrill, of Newbury and Haverhill, Massachusetts. One authority gives date of his marriage as March 23, 1715. Their children were : Samuel, Thomas, Jonathan, Joseph, Abigail, Benjamin, Enoch. Stephen and Mary.
(IV) Joseph (2), fourth son and child of Jos- eph (1) and Abigail (Merrill) Eastman, was born May 26, 1720, in Salisbury. He passed his life in Concord, New Hampshire, where he died 1815, at the age of ninety-five years. He was a member of the celebrated "Rogers Rangers" and was also a soldier in the Revolution, as was his son William, who served in the same company. He married (first) Elizabeth Jackman, and after her death he married Abigail Eastman, daughter of Joseph and granddaughter of Ebenezer Eastman (see Ebenezer, III). She was born May 27. 1741, and survived her husband more than sixteen years, dying Decem- ber 2, 1831, in her ninety-first year. To distinguish her from others she was known to her neighbors as Widow Deacon Joseph Eastman. There were two children of the first marriage: William and Eliza- beth. The children of the second wife were: Henry, James, Dorothy, Nathan, Naomi, Polly and Sarah.

Hannah, born in Haverhill, November 5, 1679. Ebenezer, January 10, 1681. Philip. August 18, 1684. Abigail, in 1689. Philip Eastman first lived in Haverhill, Massachusetts, where his house was burned by In- dians, March 15, 1697, some of the family being captured and others dispersed. He also was cap- tured at the same time, but finally escaped. Later he settled in Connecticut, where his son had pre- ceeded him. A full record of the family has never been found. It is known, however. that he served in King Philip's war. On the town record of Woodstock, Connecticut, where he settled, mention is made of Philip Eastman as being represented by
his heirs in the distribution of lands as laid out among the proprietors in 1715; mention is also made of his buying a piece of land in Ashford, a town adjoining Woodstock. He died prior to the year 1714. (Mention of his second son, Philip, and descendants appears in this article).
(III) Ebenezer, third child of Philip Eastman, was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, February 17. 1681. The first is from the Haverhill records and ought to be correct. He married, March 4, 1710, Sarah Peaslee or Peasley, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel and Judith (Kimball) Peasley. Captain Eastman was the first settler in Concord, New Hampshire. There are many interesting facts con- cerning the part Mr. Eastman took in the settlement of the town that was to become the future capital of the commonwealth. The services he rendered, and the affairs of trust and honor committed to his charge were many, and always faithfully and honorably administered. Having considerable prop- erty, and coming as he did at the earliest period of settlement, with six sons, the eldest of whom was fifteen years of age and able to perform the work of a man, Captain Eastman became in a few years the strong man of the town. In 1731 his house and home lot were in better order and he had more land under cultivation than any other person in the settlement. At the age of nine years his father's house was destroyed by Indians, and at nineteen years of age he joined the regiment of Colonel Wainwright in the expedition against Port Royal, Nova Scotia. In 17II, when about twenty-one years of age, he had command of a company of infantry which embarked on a transport forming a part of the fleet under Sir Howenden Walker in the ex- pedition against Canada. In the ascent of the St. Lawrence river, tradition says, the weather was very rough and the fleet had orders to follow at night the great light at the admiral's masthead. To do so in doubling a certain rocky and dangerous cape would bring sure destruction to any ship so doing, but Captain Eastman, having previous knowl- edge of the state of things and supported by his men, by force. compelled the captain of the ship to deviate from the admiral's instructions and thus saved the ship and all on board, while eight or nine other vessels and about a thousand men perished by following the orders of the admiral.
Captain Eastman went to Cape Breton twice, the first time, March 1, 1745, in command of a com- pany, and was present at the reduction of Louis- burg, June 16, 1745. He returned November 10, 1745. Early in the next year he went again, and returned home July 9. 1746. He was also a captain in Colonel Sylvester Richmond's regiment of Mass- achusetts, February 6, 1744. On settling in Pena- cook (Concord) his "house lot" was number 9, sec- ond range, on Main street. In the second survey, in 1727. he had lot No. 16. containing four and a half acres, on "Mill Brook Range," cast side of the river, where he finally settled and had a garrison around his house. At the time of the massacre in Penacook, August II, 1746, Captain Eastman and family were in a garrison on the east side of the river. Subsequently he erected on or near the spot a large two-story house. but before it was finished he died. This house is still standing and is oc- cupied by Colonel J. E. Pecker as a residence. Captain Eastman was an extensive farmer, and in 1729 took a lcase of the farm land of Judge Sewall, containing five hundred acres, with the island, for a period of thirty years, for which he was to pay rent as well as to greatly improve the property. He died July 28, 1748, and the inventory of property he

then left amounted to seven thousand nine hundred and twelve pounds, ten shillings and six pence. Their children were: Ebenezer, Philip, Joseph, Nathaniel, Jeremiah, Obadiah. Ruth and Moses, eight in all. (Mention of Nathaniel and Obadiah and descendants occurs in this article).
(IV) Joseph, third son and child of Ebenezer and Sarah ( Peaslee or Peasley) Eastman, was born June 10, 1715, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He re- sided in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was known as Captain Joseph. In 1775 he commanded a company at Crown Point. He signed the associa- tion test in 1776, and was constable in 1731, and selectman in 1732. He was with Colonel Gerrish at Ticonderoga in the Revolution. His tax in 1778 was nine pounds nine shilling and four pence, which goes to indicate that he was possessed of consider- able property. He died in 1803. He married Abi- gail Mellen, who was born in 1720, and died March 13, 1801. Their children were: Mary, Abigail, Moses, Sarah, John and Jennie.
(V) Moses, eldest son and third child of Jo- seph and Abigail (Mellen) Eastman, was born March 3, 1743, in Concord, and lived in that town, where he died in 1796. He was married April 23, 1769. to Lucretia Tyler, daughter of Moses and Miriam (Bailey) Tyler, of Bradford, Massachusetts, born in Pembroke, New Hampshire, 1748, and died April 16, 1815. After the death of Mr. Eastman she mar- ried Captain Reuben Kimball, of Concord. Her children were: Hannah, Salome, Charles, Nancy, Warren, Lycurgus and Lucretia.

He married Phebe Chandler, and their children were: Nathaniel, Mary, Elizabeth, Jacob, Rhoda and Levi.
(V) Nathaniel (2), eldest son of Nathaniel (1) and Phebe (Chandler) Eastman, was born in Con- cord, New Hampshire, October 9, 1755, and died May 7, 1839.

Bradley, Timothy, Ruth, Ebenezer, Abraham and Seth.
(VI) Isaac, eldest child of Nathaniel (2) and Ruth (Bradley) Eastman, was born June 10, 1780, in Concord, where his life was spent. He was made a member of Blazing Star Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, in 1814, and was its master eleven years from 1834, and also served as tyler of the Grand Lodge
of the state. In those days Freemasonry was under a ban, and for some time he kept the books and records of the lodge concealed in a cellar, to escape expected attacks upon them.
