quality of stock carried would be a credit to a much more pretentious town. He is a Republican ; pension examiner; on board of health of Wakefield ; a mem- ber of New Hampshire Medical Association, and Carroll County Medical Society.

November 19, 1885, Wilbert S. Davis married Annie J. Montgomery, of Barrington, who was born in Strafford, August 29, 1865, daughter of Charles F. and Elizabeth (Locke ) Montgomery, of Barrington. They have two children: Bessie Montgomery, born June 17, 1887, in Strafford, graduated from Brewster Acad- emy in 1907. Charles Samuel, born March 16, 1889, is a student at the same institution.
(1) Joseph Davis was born in Durham, New Hampshire. He resided a large part of his life in West Newfield, Maine, where he was engaged in farming, and died there. He married twice; his second wife was Mary Jane Bullock, of Royalston, Maine. Among the children by the first wife was Winthrop. The children of his second marriage were: Joseph B., Hannah, Mehitable, Wescott and Darius.
(II) Darius, youngest child of Joseph and Mary J. (Bullock) Davis, was born in West Newfield, Maine, 1822, and died in Conway, New Hampshire, in 1899, aged seventy-seven years. After completing his education at Parsonsfield Academy, Parsonsfield, Maine, he served four years in the United States navy, from sixteen to twenty years of age; dis- charged in France. On his return from naval service he worked in a cotton mill in Lowell, Massa- chusetts, and then settled in Ossipee, New Hamp- shire, where he was a partner in trade with Satchel Dore, and later with his brother-in-law, Josiah Dur- gin. For ten years Mr. Davis was head of the firm of Davis & Durgin, general merchants, and after- ward carried on the business alone. He was suc- cessful in the acquisition of property, and in addi- tion to his store owned a farm. Late in life he built the Davis House at East Wakefield, which he man- aged for some years until he sold out to his son Frank W., and removed to Conway, New Hamp- shire, where he died. He was a man of good habits and agreeable conversation and popular with his fellows who elected him selectman, in which office he served with satisfaction to his constituency and credit to himself. He married Ruth Bean Durgin, who was born in 1824, daughter of Josiah and Doro- thy Durgin, of West Newfield. She died in 1884, aged sixty. They had six children: Frank W., who has extended mention below. Herbert D., who died young. Ella M., who married Ivory S.

(III) Frank Wescott, eldest child of Darius and Ruth Bean (Durgin) Davis, was born in West New- field, March 11, 1851. He attended the academies at Limington, Maine, and obtained a good education, and then worked in stores in Haverhill, Massachu- setts. In 1872 he was appointed the first telegrapher at East Wakefield, where he remained until 1873. He then became station agent and telegrapher for the Boston & Maine Railroad Company at Conway, New Hampshire, and discharged his duties with fidelity for twenty-two years-1873 to 1895. In 1875
he engaged in the grain business at Conway, which he carried on four years. In 1878 he bought a one- third interest in the store of Palmer & Robinson. Six months later he bought out the interest of Mr. Robinson, and three years later became sole proprietor of the store and business. January I, 1885, he took as a partner in business H. B. Fifield, and the firm of Davis & Fifield was formed which continued for twelve years. In 1897 they divided the stock, cach taking certain lines, and in 1898 Mr. Davis took his son Philip into partnership and the firm name became F. W. Davis & Son, now F. W. Davis. They conducted a large business in hardware, furniture, and men's furnishing goods. Mr. Davis built what is known as the Fifield Store in 1879, erected the store he now occupies in 1894, and owing to increased patronage built an addition in 1897. In addition to his mercantile business Mr. Davis is interested in the Conway Savings Bank, of which he is a trustee. In politics he is a Republi- can, and in 1887 was a Conway representative in the state legislature in which he served on the com- mittee on banking. He is a parish member of the Congregational Church and deeply interested in the work of that body. He married, October 10, 1875, Lucy Maria Shackford, who was born in Conway, July 19, 1850, daughter of Samuel B. and Lydia (Pendexter) Shackford. They have three children : Philip S., who is mentioned below; Ruth Burnhamn, Mrs. Dr. Horne (see Horne, III), and Maidee Lydia. Mrs. Davis and her daughter Ruth B. are members of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
(IV) Philip Shackford, eldest child of Frank W. and Lucy M. (Shackford) Davis, was born in Con- way, June 6, 1876. He was educated in the common schools and at Wolfboro Academy, Wolfboro, Bur- dett's Business College, Boston, and Harvard Col- lege. spending one year at the last named institution. He was a partner in business with his father three years, and then bought out the shoe department of the enterprise. He now conducts a livery stable in Conway. He is a member of Mt. Washington Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of North Conway, and of Signet Royal Arch Chapter, of North Conway. He married, February 21, 1900, Georgianna Ethel Burroughs, who was born December 20, 1881, daugh- ter of Isaac and Mary Burroughs, of Intervale. They have one child, Philip S., born September 4, 1903.
PARKER Another line of the Parker family of New England, which in its various generations has been represented by men of surpassing ability and moral worth, is traced through New Hampshire from an entirely independ- ent origin from those hereinbefore noticed, as fol- lows:
(1) Deacon Thomas Parker, who was born in England in 1609, came to New England in the "Susan and Ellen" in 1635, and settled first in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was admitted a freeman in 1637. About the year 1663 he moved to Reading, and re- sided there for twenty years, or until his death, which occurred August 12, 1683. The christian name of his wife, who died January 15, 1690, was Amy, and his children were: Hannaniah, Thomas, Joseph (died young), Joseph, Mary, Martha, Na- thaniel, Sarah (died young), Jonathan, Sarah and John.
(II) Sergeant John, youngest child of Deacon Thomas and Amy Parker, settled on Cowdrey's hill, Reading (now Wakefield), Massachusetts, and died in that town, February 21, 1699. Hc was married (first), in Cambridge, November 13, 1667, to Han-

nah, daughter of Deacon Thomas and Rebecca Ken- dall. She was born about 1642, and died in 1689. The christian name of his second wife was Thank- ful, and they were married December 28, 1690. He was the father of thirteen children, namely: John, Thomas (died young), Hannah, Rebecca (died young.), Kendall, Abigail (died young), Jonathan, Daniel, Abigail, Hannaniah, Rebecca, Thomas and Elizabeth. (Jonathan and descendants receive ex- tended mention in this article).
(III) John (2), eldest son of Sergeant John and Hannah (Kendall) Parker, was born in 1668, in Reading, and settled in the west parish of that town, building the third house in the parish. He was mar- ried in 1691 or 1694 (record illegible). The christian name of his wife was Elizabeth, but no surname is recorded. His children were: Elizabeth (died young), John (died young), Abigail, John, Ben- jamin, Elizabeth (died young), Elizabeth, Joseph (died young), Joseph and Thomas.
(IV) Benjamin, third son and fifth child of John (2) and Elizabeth Parker, was born in 1703, in Reading, and resided for some time on the pa- ternal homestead. He afterwards exchanged this with his brother John for a home on Franklin street, where he passed the remainder of his life. He was married in 1726 to Sarah Foster, who died in 1741, and he married (second), Sarah, daughter of Jona- than and Barbara Parker. The children of the first wife were: Benjamin, Sarah, Phebe, Elizabeth, Reuben, William and Lydia; and there were two by the second wife, namely, Elisha and Simeon.
(V) Reuben, second son and fifth child of Ben- jamin and Saralı (Foster) Parker, was born in 1735, in Reading, and settled in Richmond, New Hampshire, locating in 1765 on what has since been known as Parker hill. He was the first settler on the west half of lots three and four, range nine of that town, and was probably the first blacksmith in the town. He died January 10, 1825, at the age of ninety-two years. He was married (first), June 19, 1759, to Sarah, daughter of Thomas Wooley. She died December 20, 1779, and he married (second), Esther Townsend, of Townsend, Massa- chusetts, who died October 20, 18II. The children of the first wife were: Reuben, Charles, Sarah, Silas, Benjamin, Amos, Jonathan, Edmund, and Mary and Phebe (twins). Those of the second wife were: Townsend, Esther, Jacob, John and Samuel. (Jonathan and descendants receive mention in this article).
(VI) Silas, son of Reuben and Sarah (Wooley) Parker, was born in Richmond, New Hampshire, in August, 1765. He was a farmer, tanner and shoe- maker. In 1796 he removed to Lisbon, New Hamp- shire, and settled on Sugar hill, where it is said that he erected the first tannery in New Hamp- shire north of Haverhill, and there for many years he carried on a tauning business which after him came to his son and grandson. He was called "lawyer" and was moderator of the town for twenty- five years. He was an excellent type of the old- time New England pioneer, and his wife, whom he married in 1788, was a model helpmeet, a woman of amiable disposition, with always a pleasant and cheering word for those about her. She was Lydia, born May 14, 1770, a daughter of Rufus Whipple .* Silas and Lydia Parker lived in that period of our
country's history when it had hardly recovered from the long Revolutionary struggle, when the people were chiefly farmers with limited means, and few were able to afford their children educational ad- vantages, even those of the district school. The devoted couple reared their family of six sons and one daughter in a school of stern virtue, careful frugality, and that unflagging industry always re- quired in the home life of the plain farmhouse, sup- plemented by that limited but intensely practical learning which has produced for many generations men and women of sound, clear and vigorous minds. The husband died in Lisbon, October 16, 1834, and his wife survived him. nearly thirty years, dying August 30, 1863, aged ninety-three years.
(VII) Hon. Levi Parker was a man of more than ordinary ability and strength of character, whose life was devoted in large part to the service of the con- munity and state. He was the eldest son of Silas and Lydia (Whipple) Parker, and was born in Richmond, New Hampshire. November 2, 1792. When he was four years old his parents removed to Lisbon. In due time he succeeded to the tanning business which his father had established, and which he conducted with great ability throughout his life. He took a deep and intelligent interest in public affairs and exerted a great influence for good in the community, his words and counsels ever being regarded with respect and confidence. He was elec- ted to and served in every office in the gift of his townsmen, and his duties were ever performed with that strict fidelity and great ability which character- ized his whole life's conduct. When first called to official position he was comparatively a young man, and his public career covered a long period of forty years. He was selectman in 1823, a member of the board for eighteen years, town clerk in 1830- 31, and treasurer in 1856. He represented Lisbon in the legislature in 1836-39-40-51-52, and proved himself a most capable member of that body, aiding in the formation and enactment of many salutary laws tending to promote the development of the industrial resources of the state. He was chosen councilor for his district to serve with Governor Gilmore (Republican) at the time of the Civil war (1862-63) when men of responsibility, discretion and sagacity were sorely needed, and the governor said of him that "no one in his council was more ready to assist by word and deed in subduing the rebellion, or to render aid to the families of those who periled their lives for the safety of the country." He was a lifelong Democrat, and believed with Jef- ferson that "a strict adherence to the constitution was the one thing needful to the perpetuity of the Union." Mr. Parker was a man of great piety, and the religious element in his character imbued his acts. In early life he was a Free Will Baptist. in later years an Adventist, but his house was always open to all ministers of the gospel of Christ. The poor and needy always found in him a friend, the stranger and wanderer was never turned empty from his door; his roof sheltered and his fire warmed many a poor wayfarer, and of such as he the Lord spoke when he said: "For I was an hungered, and ve gave me meat ; thirsty, and ye gave
a stranger, and ye took me drink ; 1 was
me in; naked, and ye clothed me. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these iny

brethren, ye have done it unto me." The memory of this noble, patriotic, gencrous-hearted, whole- souled man, who was ever ready to promote and further any movement for the good of his fellow- men, is cherished and honored by his townsmen, and his christian character and counsel have left a strong impress upon his descendants.
Mr. Parker married, in March, ISI4, Phebe Ball, a very devoted christian woman, well educated and efficient, ever ready to attend the sick and suffering, and to sympathize with the afflicted, and heartily seconded the generous hospitality of the husband. She was a model wife, mother, friend and neighbor, and a saintly Christian, with pronounced gifts as a . matter how great the magnitude of the occasion. religious exhorter. The children of Levi and Phebe He had a large faculty for properly estimating conditions, and his judgment was unerring in plan- ning for the future, where a feebler or less resolute mind would have hesitated and lost opportunity. He gave himself diligently to his business affairs, al- most to the last, and signed the business checks of the company up to the very day of his decease. (Ball) Parker were: Silas, Eleazer B., Levi Pratt, Charles, Chandler, and Phebe Ann, who married Lindsey Aldrich. Mr. Parker died at Sugar Hill, February 6, 1865, aged nearly seventy-three years, and his wife died in February, 1872, in the eightieth year of her age.
(VIII) Charles Parker, whose active career ex- tends over more than half a century, and who was one of the most conspicuously useful men of Grafton county, New Hampshire, and who displayed in his character all the excellent traits which were becom- ing to his splendid ancestry, was a son of Hon. Levi and Phebe (Ball) Parker, and was born in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire, May 21, 1826. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Lisbon, New Hamp- shire, Newbury (Vermont) Seminary, and Phillips Academy at Danville, Vermont, but his larger edu- cation was self-acquired through his innate love of reading, tenacious memory, and ability to grasp the ever new questions of the day as they arose. Almost to the last he kept himself thoroughly informed in all matters affecting the material, political, religious and social welfare of the community and state. Soon after attaining his majority (in 1847) he mar- ried, and the same year entered upon a mercantile and manufacturing career in partnership with James R. Young, in Lyman, New Hampshire, Mr. Young soon after opening a store at Lisbon, the firm being Parker & Young. He was so occupied until 1864, when the business at Lyman was disposed of and Mr. Parker removed to Lisbon, where they greatly increased their mercantile business. The partner- ship was terminated by the death of Mr. Young in 1884, when the manufacturing business was incor- porated under the name of the Parker & Young Manufacturing Company, of which Mr. Parker be- came treasurer and general manager, and he acted in that capacity until his death, August 25, 1895. in his seventieth year. The business of this com- pany was primarily founded by Mr. Parker, and to its development he gave the best of his great ability and stirring enterprise, bringing it to a foremost place among the manufacturing interests of New Hampshire. From a small beginning it became the large manufactory of piano sounding-boards in the world, now using nearly twenty-five millions of feet of lumber annually, employing five hundred operatives, and its product reaching every market in the United States and Canada. Its success was achieved in face of what would have been, to a man of less determination, insuperable difficulties. The establishment was three times destroyed by fire, involving great financial loss and temporary cessation of business, but each time, through Mr. Parker's indomitable resolution, it was immediately rebuilt and upon a larger scale, with more modern and ample equipment. Following each disaster and at other times, Mr. Parker received flattering in- ducements to re-establish his factory in other towns,. but his loyalty to his village and his personal interest
in its people would not permit of his listening to such overtures. He conducted his large affairs in no mean, sordid spirit, but with a genuine enthus- iasm, taking pride in the excellence of his manufac- tures, and in being able to afford means of liveli- hood to a large number of families in whose wel- fare he ever took a warm personal interest. So alive was he to the latter consideration that he was never known to have difficulties with his employees, who regarded him as a friend and benefactor as well as an employer. In all his wide range of deal- ing he was known in commercial circles as the soul of honor, and his word went unimpeached, no
Mr. Parker was thus a public benefactor in the conduct of a great business, he was also a promi- nent figure in every other department of the life of the community. He was constantly the foremost one in conceiving and carrying out objects for its moral and material advancement, and his words of coun- sel and encouragment were always accompanied with his means. Educational institutions had in him an earnest advocate, and he was liberal in his aid to churches, though he was not a member until the year previous to his death, when he was received into the First Congregational Church of Lisbon. Yet his nature was ever deeply religious, and for many years he had been a member of the choir of the church with which he became connected thus late in life. He possessed a powerful yet very sweet baritone voice, which was always heard with pleas- ure in church or social gatherings, and he was also an excellent musical critic, and passionately fond of instrumental and well as vocal music. He had a genuine affection for children; his home was the constant visiting place of his neighbors' children, and in his driving about he was seldom unaccom- panied by some little one. He was the personifica- tion of benevolence; the friendless, the poor and the needy found in him a benefactor and helper, and no one hungry or athirst ever went away from his door unrefreshed. He was gentle and considerate in all his intercourse with men, and he endeared him- self to all. He was a Republican in politics. For more than thirty years he served as a justice of the peace, and was a member of the New Hampshire legislature in 1862 and 1863, and again in 1887.
Mr. Parker was married, in 1847, to Amelia Emmeline Bennett, a lady of rare personal attrac- tions, culture and refinement. She was born October 24, 1827, in Dummerston, Vermont, a daughter of Adin and Angeline (Houghton) Bennett .* Four
*Adin Bennett was born in 1800, and died in 1830. His parents were Samuel Bennett, Jr., son of Samuel and Sally Bennett. and Hepzibah Foster, whose children were Adin and Sophrona. Adio Bennett married Angeline Houghton. born August 26, 1801, and died May 6, 1891, and their children were Milo Gettibone, Emery Seymour (died in fifth year), Edwin Oscar, born December 15. 1824, died October 30. 1902, and Amelia E., who became the wife of Charles Parker. Angeline Houghton was a daughter of Sol- omon and Martha (White) Houghton, whose children were Henry, Nahum, Luther, Calvin. Calvin (2), both of whom died in infancy. Rufus and Orison (twins), Polly, Dorothy, Patty and Angeline. Solomon Houghton bad brothers, Nahum and Philip, and four sisters, three of whom married three Whitneys, two being broth- ers and one a cousin, and they lived at or near Marlboro, Ver- mont. Martha White was a daughter of Jane White, who came from Ireland. The name of Jane White is registered in the Houghton family Rible, which is in the possession of a great- granddaughter residing in Franconia, New Hampshire. There is quite a romantic story attending her coming to America, in the early history of our country.

children were born of this marriage, three of whom, with the mother, are now living: Mrs. Albert B. Woodworth, of Concord, New Hampshire ( see Woodworth, VII); Mrs. Thomas J. Walker, of Manchester, New Hampshire; and Colonel Harry E. Parker, of Bradford, Vermont. Mr. Parker died at his home in Lisbon, August 25, 1895. The sad event was distressful to the entire community, and the scenes at the funeral were touchingly signifi- cant of its deep affection for the lamented dead. Mr. Parker's former pastor, the Rev. Mr. Lees, paid a fervent tribute to his memory, and the Rev. J. W. Wathen followed with brief but appreciative re- marks.
(III) Jonathan, fourth son and seventh child of Sergeant John and Hannah ( Kendall) Parker, was born in Reading in 1681, and resided in that town, where he died in 1746. In 1700 he married Mehitable Bancroft, who died in 1703, and in 1706 he chose for his second wife Barbara Elsley. The names of his children were: Mehitabel, Sarah, Mary (died young), Mary, John, Hannah, David, Amy, Hephzibah, Daniel and Elisha. (Daniel and descendants are mentioned at length hereinafter).
(IV) John, son of Jonathan and Barbara (Els- ley) Parker, was born in Reading, July 16, 1716. He lived in his native town for a time and then settled in Methuen, where he died April 20, 1788. He mar- ried, May 26, 1740, Hannah Upton, born 1723, daugh- ter of Joseph and Mary Upton.
(V) Lieutenant John (2), son of John (1) and Hannah (Upton) Parker, was born in Reading, December 18, 1742. He was a man of prominence in military matters, and a soldier of the Revolution. In the "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War" we find the following record :
