This is one of the families who DEARBORN do enjoy the distinction of being among the early colonists and founders of the commonwealth of New Hampshire. The Dearborns have always maintained the repu- tation of being an intelligent, energetic and pro- gressive race, and some of them have been per- sons of distinction.
(I) Godfrey Dearborn, the patriarch of the Dearborn family in the United States, was born in England. and Exeter. in the county of Devon, is said to have been the place of his nativity, but the date of his birth and the time of his advent in Amer- ica are unknown. He died in Hampton, New Hampshire, February 4, 1686.
In 1639 Rev. John Wheelwright, with a company of his friends, removed from the colony in Massa- chusetts Bay to Exeter, in the province of New Hampshire, and founded a settlement. Supposing themselves to be out of the jurisdiction of any ex- isting company or government, they formed and signed amongst themselves a kind of social com-

pact, which bore the signatures of thirty-five per- sons, of whom Godfrey Dearborn was onc. His signature to this document, like that attached to his will more than forty years afterward. he executed by making his mark. He seems to have been a man of considerable standing and importance among the colonists, which is proved by his being elected one of the selectmen both of Exeter and Hampton. His farm is said to have been situated within the pres- ent limits of the town of Stratham. He had in 1644 a grant of meadow land "on the second run, beyond Mr. Wheelwright's creek, toward Captain Wiggins." In 1645, in connection with two other persons, he had a grant of meadow "at the head of the Great Cove Creek, about six acres, if it be there to be found." Other land is mentioned as joining his "on the east side of the river." In 1648 he was elected one of the "Townsmen" or "Selectmen."
Between 1648 and 1650 he removed to Hampton, where he spent the remainder of his life. March 4, 1650, seats in the Hampton meeting house were assigned to "Goodman and Goody Dearborn." On his arrival in Hampton, Godfrey Dearborn settled at the "West End," so called, on a farm ever since occupied by his descendants. One house, built be- tween 1650 and 1686, is still standing and constitutes a part of the present dwelling. On his removal to · Hampton, Godfrey became a considerable landhold- er, and a man of some importance in the affairs of the town. In 1651 he drew share number one in the great ox pasture, though he voted against the division and entered his protest upon the record of the town. In 1670 he had a grant of eighty acres in addition to the extensive farm which he already possessed in the vicinity of his dwelling. His tax in 1653 was 15s. Iod., and he was one of the se- lectmen in 1655, 1663 and 1671. He made his will in 1680. He married first in England, but the name of his wife is unknown. She died some time be- tween May 4, 1650, and November 25, 1662, at which date Godfrey married Dorothy, the widow of Phil- anon Dalton. She died between 1680 and 1696. The children, all by the first wife, were: Henry, Thom- as, John, Sarah, and two other daughters whose names are not known. (Thomas and descendants are mentioned in this article).
(II) Henry Godfrey, eldest son of Dearborn, was born in England about 1633, and came to this coun- try with his father when ahout six years old. The record of Hampton states: "Henry Dearborn, de- ceased, January ye 18, 1724-25, aged 92 years." He was one of the selectmen of Hampton in 1676 and 1692. He was also a signer of the petition to the king in 1683, usually called "Weare's petition." He married, January 16, 1666, Elizabeth Marrian, who was born about 1644, and died July 6, 1716, aged seventy-two years. She was a daughter of John Marrian, one of the first settlers of Hampton.

He has been called the pioneer of North Hampton, and is said to have bitilt the first house in that town "north of the brook." He pur- chased a large tract of land, selected a farm for himself in the center, and sold out the remainder to his brother John in such a manner as to leave himself entirely shut out from the highway, ex- cepting a lane which passed his brother's door. This farm was at last account in the possession of a lineal descendant. He was one of the petitioners for act incorporating the town, but appears to have
kept himself, like his farm, very much retired from the public, enjoying only domestic relations.

( V) Josiah, third son and fifth child of Peter and Margaret (Fifield) Dearborn, was born No- vember 16, 1757, in Chester, and removed from that town to Weare in 1790. He settled on the edge of New Boston, and also bought a small farm one and one-half miles from South Weare village, and lived there for a time. He returned to his original loca- tion in the town of New Boston, and died there April 28, 1830. He was married August, 1779, to Susannah. daughter of Samuel Emerson, of Chester. She was born April 13. 1762, and died August 13. 1847. Their children were: Nehemiah, Susannah, Henry. Josiah. Edmund. Samuel, David, Jonathan, Peter, John, Moses and Sarah.

New Hampshire, and followed farming till 1825, when he returned to South Weare and bought of the heirs the home and farm of his father-in-law, then deceased, on which he lived hap- nily until his death. September 17, 1840. He had one of the finest farms in the town, the major part of it under cultivation and was very successful as a farmer. He was an old line Democrat in politics, and was frequently honored with various offices, serving three terms as selectman and also as as- sessor. He was a member of the Universalist Church.

He attend- ed the common schools of his native town, and was subsequently a student at Francestown Academy and graduated from Dartmouth College in the class of 1867. He early began to teach and while pursuing his collegiate course he defrayed his expenses by his earnings as a teacher, being employed in the public schools of Manchester and the city of Bos- ton. Subsequent to graduation he went to Boston as sub-master of one of the grammar schools, and shortly afterwards he took an examination and was as a result at once appointed one of the mas- ters in the Boston Latin School, which position he held for five years.

Mr. Dearborn adhered to the Republi- can party in national contests until the close of the war, was later a Democrat, but the issues of recent years have tended to alienate him from that party and he does not now give allegiance to any political organization.

From 1860 to 1865 he was registrar of probate of Hillsboro county, and has been for the past seven years county auditor. In 1874-75, the last years dur- ing which the Democratic party was in power in New Hampshire, he was state treasurer, and the fine condition of the records which he left and his thoroughly upright and satisfactory management of the office are matters of history. That Mr. Dear- born enjoys the confidence of his fellow citizens is plainly indicated by this record. He was married October 16, 1851. to Sabrina L. Hayden of Sharon, Vermont. She was the daughter of Eli Hayden of Sharon, Vermont. She died August 14, 1880, having been the mother of four children, namely : Adelaide S., the first died at the age of eleven years ; Julia A., became the wife of Luther C.

He worked at that trade, and at the same time carried on farming in a small way. He was a public spirited citizen, and always took an intelligent interest in local affairs and the progress of the nation.

Later he moved to Weare and bought a small place one mile south of the vil- lage, where he died in May, 1888. He was a mem- ber of the Universalist Church.
