He removed to that place about 1720 and owned two home lots, Nos. 71 and 72, and resided on 72. That Nathan Web- ster was a man of ability and standing, and an active, efficient and highly respected member of the church,

is evident from the fact that the record shows him to have been chosen selectman in 1729-38-42-50-51- 57-61-63-66-70-71. At a town meeting in August, 1739, "Voted that Capt. Sam Ingalls, mr Nathan Webster, and mr John Talford Shall be a Commit- tee to take bonds of the Inhabitants of Rumford (now Concord) for the making and maintaining a good soficient Roads for Passing Massibeecik Pond towards their town. agreeable to their proposals made to us, and to Enter into bonds to them to make and maintain one on this side, and over the said pond, as good."

At the town meeting held January 15, 1730, he was appointed on a committee "to treat with the Rev. Mr. Moses Hale, and to acquaint him with what ye town hath done, and to invite him into the work of ye Ministry among us in Chester." He was sub- sequently twice appointed on committees for sim- ilar purposes, and was a member of the committee appointed to build the meeting-house.

By his first wife, Martha, Nathan Webster had the following named children: Daniel. Nathan, Stephen, (founder of the Webster family of Plym- outh, New Hampshire, mentioned at length here- inafter). Abel and Mary. He was married (second) August 3, 1738, to Mary (Stevens) Godfrey, whose first husband was Thomas Sargent, and her second Peter Godfrey. She was a daughter of Deacon Thomas and Martha (Bartlett) Stevens, of Ames- bury, and survived her third husband several years. dying May 24, 1766. (Stephen and descendants receive mention in this article.)

(IV) Nathan (3), second child and son of Na- than (2) and Mary Webster, was born in Chester, July 1, 1715, died 1794. He was a farmer and lived on house lot No. 117. In the year 1764 he was one of the three chosen by the town as a committee to settle about highways in Raymond and make return. He signed the association test in 1776. Chase's "History of Chester" states that, "At the Septem- ber term of the Superior Court, 1771, Andrew Jack, Nathan Webster and John Robie, the selectmen of Chester, were indicted because Chester, having more than 100 families, had no grammar school. At the March term, 1772, Jack and Webster were tried and fined fio, and cost taxed at £7, 12s. 4d."

This does not imply that Nathan Webster, the ancestor of many college graduates, living in a community now so intelligent, was opposed to the ontlay of money for the support of schools. On the contrary, the financial conditions were such that the men of that community did not feel able to bear the burden of schools, and had voted to secure the selectmen from fine for failing to act. He mar- ried, February 10, 1742. Martha Blasdell, and they had eleven children, all but two of whom died young. Those who grew up and had families were: Nathan and Moses.

The ten children of Nathan and Elizabeth Webster were: Josiah, Sarah. Mary, John Ordway, Nathan, Elizabeth, Martha, Huldy, Susanna and Hannah.

(IV) Stephen, third son and child of Nathan (2) and Martha Webster, was born February 18, 1718, in Chester, resided for a time in Candia, and later in Hollis, where he was selectman in 1762-63- 65. By purchase of the right of one of the grantees of Plymouth, this state, he became a proprietor of that town, where he settled about 1765. He was an intelligent and useful citizen, and acted as teacher in the early schools of the frontier settlement. He died in 1798. He married Rachel Stevens, of Ames- bury, Massachusetts, probably a daughter of Samuel and Rachel (Heath) Stevens, of Amesbury. She was admitted to the church there January 14, 1728, was dismissed to the church in Chester, May 10, 1739, and died January 3, 1754. Mr. Webster mar- ried (second) Sarah. widow of Daniel Clough, of Kingston, and daughter of William and Elizabeth (Heard) Baker, of Salisbury. The first wife was the mother of five children, and the second of two, namely : David. Stephen, Lydia, Sarah, Amos, Daniel Clough and Rachel. (Mention of Stephen and de- scendants follows in this article).

(V) David, eldest child of Stephen Webster and his first wife, Rachel Stevens, was born De- cember 12, 1738. He was a colonel and rendered conspicuous service in the Revolution. After his marriage he lived for one year in Hollis, New Hampshire. but moved to Plymouth in November, 1764, where he became prominent in town affairs, and served as sheriff of Grafton county for many years. He was twice married, but his children were all by his first wife. On April 20, 1761, Colonel David Webster married his step-mother's daughter, Elizabeth Clough, daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Baker) Clough, who was born in Kingston, New Hampshire. September 23, 1745. They had twelve children : Sarah, David, mentioned below ; Eliphalet, William, Josiah, a son who died at birth, Elizabeth, mentioned below ; George Washington, Ralph, Sarah. a daughter who died at birth, and Walter Raleigh.

(VI) David (2), eldest son and second child of Colonel David and Elizabeth (Clough) Webster, was born at Hollis, New Hampshire. November 30, 1763. The next year his parents moved to Plym- outh, where he lived till he was twenty-five years of age. From 1789 to 1799 his home was at Moulton- boro, New Hampshire, and for the succeeding seven- teen years at Haverhill, New Hampshire : but in 1816 he returned to Plymouth where he lived till his death nearly thirty years later. He was an active man of ability and influence, and for several years was deputy sheriff. He owned two or three farms in Plymouth, and was largely engaged in the cultiva- tion of hops. He belonged to the state militia for some time, and was made captain on July 5. 1794. On November 18. 1785, David (2) Webster married his cousin, Lydia Cummings, daughter of Samuel and Lydia (Webster) Cummings, and granddangh- ter of Stephen Webster (IV). She was born Au- gust 31, 1769. They had thirteen children: David, Samuel Cummings, mentioned below; Eliza Clough, Lydia, Harriet, Susan Smith. Ralph, Arthur Liver- more, Mary Lawrence, Ann Maria, Jane Livermore, a daughter, who lived but a few weeks, and Eliza- beth Clough. Captain David (2) Webster died at

Plymouth, June 4. 1841, and his widow died Septem- ber 2, 1865, aged ninety-six.

(VI) Elizabeth, second daughter and seventh child of Colonel David (1) Webster and his first wife, Elizabeth Clough, was born at Plymouth, New Hampshire, July S, 1773. On December 23. 1790, she married Moor Russell, of Plymouth (see Rus- sell, V).

(VII) Samuel Cummings, second son and child of Captain (2) and Lydia (Cummings) Webster, was born June 28, 1788. He was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1808, and was a lawyer at Plymouth, New Hampshire. He was a representa- tive to the state legislature in IS22-26-27-30-32, being speaker of the house in 1830. He was a member of the governor's council in 1831. In 1833 he was ap- pointed sheriff of Grafton county, and removed to Haverhill, New Hampshire, where he spent the last two years of his life. On May 5, 1816, Samuel Cum- mnings Webster married his cousin, Catherine, second daughter and third child of Moor and Elizabeth ( Webster) Russell, who was born at Haverhill, New Hampshire. May 28, 1797 (see Russell, V). They had ten children: Samuel Cummings, Dominicus, David Henry, Ann Eliza Cushing, Jeremiah Mason, Rufus Boliver, Catherine Cabot, Edward Cushing, Charles Carroll and Catherine Russell. Samuel C. Webster died at Haverhill, New Hampshire. July 21, 1835, at the early age of forty-seven. In 1844 his widow married Joseph Edmonds, of Brooklyn, New York, who lived five years. She died in Plymouth, New Hampshire, September 24, 1880, at the age of eighty-three.

(V) Stephen (2). second son and child of Stephen (I) and Rachel (Stevens) Webster, was born probably in Candia, New Hampshire, July 7, 1741. He moved from Candia to Plymouth, this state, where he was a pioneer settler in 1764, and a man of character and influence. On October 21, 1762. Stephen Webster married Hannah Dolbeer, of Chester, New Hampshire, and they had eleven chil- dren : Sarah, married Samuel Heath: Lydia, mar- ried Nehemiah Phillips: Hannah, married Joshua Heath; Polly, married Christopher Sargent : Peter, Moses, Lucy, married Solomon Sanborn; Stephen, married Polly Fuller ; Amos, David, mentioned be- low; and Betsey, born April 30, 1782, married Joseph Fletcher, of Rumney (see Fletcher, VII). She died March 10. 1863, in Rumney. Of these children the eldest was born in Candia, and the other ten in Plymouth : and it is interesting to know that Lydia, the second child, born June 2, 1765, was the first in- fant of white parentage to see the light in the new settlement (Plymouth). Stephen (2) Webster died in 1788, at the early age of forty-seven.

(VI) David (2), fifth son and tenth child of Stephen (2) and Hannah (Dolbeer) Webster, was born July 6. 1779, at Plymouth, New Hampshire. He moved to the neighboring town of Rumney. where he reared a large family. He was converted to the Christian religion under the preaching of Rev. Lorenzo Dow, and joined the Baptist Church. The marriage intentions of David (2) Webster to Lucy Hutchins were published on January 21, 1806, and they were married five days later. She was a woman of strong religious convictions, gave freely to mis- sions, and kept Fast Day in the early Puritan fash- ion. She early espoused the cause of the slave, and left a legacy to the Freedman's Bureau. David (2) and Lucy (Hutchins) Webster had nine children : George Webster. George Hutchins. Selomy, Dardana S., Emeline Mary and Adeline Martha (twins), David Peabody. Elizabeth Hutchins, and Nancy Hutchins. Three of these children, George W. and

George H., the two eldest, and Dardana S., died in infancy, while Adeline Martha, one of the twins, died October 27, 1821, during her seventeenth year ; but of the five who lived to grow up, three attained to extraordinary longevity, and two are now living at present (1907). Selomy, born April 23, 1809, married David W. Doe, and died November 1, 1907, in her ninety-ninth year. Emeline Mary, born May I. 1815, married Ichabod Packard Hardy, and is now in her ninety-third year. (See Hardy, III). Eliza- beth Hutchins, born April 8, 1820, married David Hadley, of Manchester, and is now in her eighty- eighth year. It is doubtful if there is another trio of sisters in the state who can show such length of years. The youngest sister, Nancy Hutchins, born April 22. 1824, married John W. Peppard, of Rum- ney, and died in February, 1888, in her sixty-fourth year. David (2) Webster, the father, died at Rum- ney, New Hampshire, May 12, 1841. in his sixty- second year.

(VI) Nathan (5), fifth child of Nathan (4) and Elizabeth (Clifford) Webster, was born April 9, 1780, and married Mary Simonds, daughter of Widow Simonds. who married Captain Pearson Richardson, of Chester. Captain Richardson had no children, and Mr. Webster became his protege and lived on his farm, where he died March 30, 1815. His widow subsequently married John L. Glidden, and died December 19, 1863.

(VII) Nathaniel (6) Webster came from Lon- donderry to the eastern part of Manchester. settling near Lake Massabesic. Later he moved to the west- ern part of the town, near Goff's Falls. where he died in 1862-63, at the age of fifty-five years. His death was the result of exposure and hardship in the line of military duty, as a member of the Ninth New Hampshire Regiment in the Civil war. His . wife, Martha Maria Corning, supposed to have been a native of Manchester. survived him many years, passing away in the spring of 1884. Their home was on the farm now occupied by their son's widow, near Goff's Falls. They were the parents of seven children. noted as follows: Eveline, the eldest, died before twenty years old. Caius C. is mentioned at length in the succeeding paragraph. Jane became the wife of George Durgin, and died in West Man- chester, in 1895. Ellen resides in Manchester. Abi- gail died in 1867, unmarried. Josephine resides in Manchester. Plumer C., the youngest, is a citizen of Henniker. this state.

(VIII) Caius Cassius, second child and elder son of Nathaniel and Martha Maria (Corning) Webster, was born October 10' 1839, and died Oc- tober 10. 1897. on the farm in Manchester, near Goff's Falls. His education was supplied by the common schools of the neighborhood, and most of his life was devoted to agriculture. Soon after at- taining his majority he went to the defense of his country's honor, as a soldier in the Civil war. He enlisted August 13, 1862, in Company A. Tenth New Hampshire Infantry, and served in the Army of the Potomac. His first severe battle was that of Fred- ericksburg, and he was soon after detailed as a teamster in the army train. He was present at the fall of Richmond, and was discharged in June, 1865. On his return to his home. he spent three years in a flouring mill at Lawrence, after which he devoted his summers to agriculture, and was occupied in winter in getting out timbers for building purposes. Mr. Webster was a very temperate man, and knew not the taste of ligors. He was a regular attendant of the Methodist Church, and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Improved Or- der of Red Men. He was a firm believer in the

principles enunciated by the Republican party, though not a seeker of official honors. In 1894 he represented the town of Manchester in the state legislature with credit to himself and his consti- tuency. He was married, August 10, 1862, to Caro- line Calef. daughter of John Calef (see Calef, IV). She was born May 17, 1838, and was twelve years old when she went with her parents to the farm on which she has since lived. She is a member of the Methodist Church. Her son, Frederick Elmer Web- ster, died at the age of twenty-six years. A daugh- ter Edith Aroline, resides with the mother.

Representatives of families bearing this FROST name came early to America. The first of whom we have record was Nicholas Frost, who arrived here in 1632 and settled on the banks of the Piscataqua, and there is good evidence that he was esteemed a trustworthy citizen as he was honored with appointments to responsible positions. There were also several others of the name who later settled in that vicinity and became prominently identified with the leading interests of the com- inunity.

(I) Edmund Frost, came from England in 1635 and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was evidently the home of the family for several generations. Mr. Frost was a ruling elder in the church, and is said to have been a man of great moral worth, "leaving his children the example of a Godly life." No mention is made of his wife. He died July 12, 1672. in Cambridge.

(II) Ephraim Frost was a son of Edmund the emigrant, and was born in Cambridge, but unfor- tunately the data is very incomplete concerning him and several of his descendants.

(III) Ephraim (2) Frost married Sarah Cooper, daughter of Deacon Samuel Cooper, of Cam- bridge.

(IV) Sammel, son of Ephraim (2) and Sarah (Cooper) Frost, married Abigail, daughter of Dea- con John Cutter.

(V) Cooper. son of Samuel and Abigail (Cut- ter) Frost, was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, November 3. 1790. and died in Franklin, New Hamp- shire, in 1876. He was a hatter by trade, and re- moved from Cambridge to Concord. New

Hampshire, in 18II, where

a large part of the time for more than half He was a soldier in the war of 1812. a century. Mr. Frost possessed much mechanical ingenuity, and was a man of im- mense muscular power. He married, July 18, 1815, Sarah Trumbull, daughter of John Trumbull. She was born in Concord, and died in Franklin, New Hampshire, in 1874, aged eighty-seven years. Her ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Con- cord. Her grandfather, Judah Trumbull. was onc of thirteen men who with their families were sta- tioned at the garrison around the house of Ebenezer Eastman, and his name appears among the officers of the town as early as 1740. The children of Cooper Frost and Saralı Trumbull Frost were: Charles H., Willard, Luther T., George W., Thom- as, Mary S. and Lucy A.

(V1) Luthier Trumbull, son of Cooper and Sarah (Trumbull) Frost, was born in Concord, New Hampshire, about 1824, and died in Franklin, New Hampshire, October 24, 189.1. He was a practical paper manufacturer, and spent nearly fifty years of his life in Franklin, where he was manager of one of the mills of the Winnepesaukee paper mills. He several times represented Franklin in the legislature

in Concord. Ile was a member of the Mt. Horeb Commandery, Knight Templar, of Concord, and a . Democrat in politics. He was a man of good busi- ness ability and a worthy citizen. Luther Trumbull Frost married, March 16, 1845, Lydia G .. daughter of Major Samuel and Betsey (Brown) Pike. She was born in Franklin, March 14, 1822. Major Sam- uel Pike was the son of James and Alice George Pike, and was born November 30, 1795, in Goffs- town, New Hampshire. His grandfather Simeon emigrated from the Highland district of Scotland; data is lacking regarding the time of his arrival, but it was previous to 1752, as his son James was born that year in Goffstown. The family removed to Franklin, then Salisbury. New Hampshire, in 1757. The name of James Pike appears among the sol- diers of the revolution from Salisbury and he was wounded at the battle of Bunker Hill. The chil- dren of Luther Trumbull and Lydia Pike Frost were: Lorenzo L. and Leroy B. Leroy B. Frost was born in Franklin and married in November, 1869, Eleanor Smith, of Enfield, New Hampshire. He is a practical paper maker in Brattleboro, Ver- mont ( 1907).

(VII) Lorenzo L., son of Luther and Lydia (Pike) Frost, was born September 27, 1846, in Mill- bury, Massachusetts, and died suddenly from heart failure at the country home of his son, at Pearl River, New York, May 10, 1906. He was educated in the public schools, in the academy at Franklin Falls, and attended Boscawen Academy at Boscawen, New Hampshire. When quite young he learned the paper maker's trade, working under his father at the Winnepesaukee Paper Company mills long before that company was absorbed hy the Interna- tional Paper Company. He displayed marked ability and advanced so rapidly that while little more than a youth he was placed in charge of one of the mills while his father operated the other. He con- tinued as superintendent at Franklin Falls for sev- enteen years, with the exception of one year, when he was called to Bellows Falls. Vermont, to put the mills of the Fall Mountain Paper Company in order, and to adjust certain labor troubles, for which task he was admirably fitted. In 1890 Mr. Frost became part owner and manager of the Sunapee Paper Company at Sunapee, New Hampshire, where he remained until 1894, when he sold his interest. Af- ter a few months as manager of the Frontenac Paper Company at Dexter, New York, he acquired an interest in the Racquette River Paper Company of Potsdam, New York, which he retained until the fall of 1901, when Mr. Frost and his two sons or- ganized the L. L. Frost Paper Company and built a mill at Norwood, St. Lawrence County. New York, which on January 4, 1904. was totally destroyed by fire. With characteristic energy, which knew no de- Lorena May Frost graduated from the high school in Franklin and attended Tilton Seminary one year. Later she graduated from the State Nor- mal School in Potsdam, New York, after which she took a course of study at Pratt's Institute, New York City, and finally was graduated from Columbia Colege, in June, 1905. She has been connected with the College Settlement in New York City for two years, but has recently been engaged as a teacher in the schools of Summit, New Jersey. feat, he directed the increase of the water power front 1500 to 3,000 horse power and constructed, of steel and concrete, what is probably one of the model newspaper mills of the United States. In August, 1905, this property was sold to Northern New York capitalists, and Mr. Frost with his sons. incorporated the Frost & Son's Paper Company, and purchased property at Napanoch. Ulster .county, New York. Here mills were built for the manu- facturing of jute tissue paper. Mr. Frost was sev- (IX) Fredric Worthen, oldest child of Lorenzo L. and Harriet L. Hayward Frost, was born January 8, 1870. He completed the full course of the high school in his native town, Franklin, New Hamp- shire, and later graduated from Tilton Seminary. He was also graduated from Wesleyan University in 18944 with honors. The next two years he taught eral times urged to accept a nomination to the New Hampshire Legislature, but he declined, not caring for political office. Lorenzo L. Frost was endowed with a unique personality ; naturally of a cheerful temperament, he made friends easily and retained them to the last. In his home he was an ideal hus- band and father. Mr. Frost also had the rare faculty . in Shady Side Academy, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
