child of General Joseph (1) Frye, was born July IO, 1743, in Andover, and passed most of his life in Fryeburg, Maine. His children were: Joseph, Mary, Mchitabel, John, Nancy, Dean, Sarah. Will- iam and Sophia.
(VI) Nancy, third daughter and fifth child of Captain Joseph (2) Frye, became the wife of David Potter (see Potter).
MOONEY The Mooneys of this article are de- scended from a Protestant Irishman, who arrived in America soon enough to take a prominent part in the French and Indian war and the Revolution. The family is descended from Eoghan (Owen), the son of Feig, of the ninety-third generation on the O'Gorman pedigree. Owen had a son Alioll Mor. whose son Maoinach had a son called O'Maoinagh, that is Mooney's de- scendant, and from him was named Feara Maoin- aigh, anglicized Fermanagh, which was given to him by his uncle, the then Irish monarch. The principal seat of the Mooneys was at Ballaghmooney, in Kings county. The name Mooney is from the Irish word Maoin, signifying wealth, whence the English word money.
(1) Colonel Hercules Mooney was born in Ire- land, and is said to have been a tutor in a noble- man's family in that country. He came to Dover, New Hampshire. in 1733, and, as is shown by the public records, engaged, January 2, 1734, to teach school. July 4, of the last named year, he began his labors in that part of Dover which is now Somersworth. He married, before 1738, and re- sided near "Barbadoes," which is a locality near the present boundary line between Dover and Madbury, and within the old "Cocheco parish," where his name appears in the rate list of 1741. In 1743 Her- cules Mooney signed a petition to make Madbury a parish, separate from Dover. In 1750 or 1751 he removed to Durham, where he was teaching as early as 1751. There are no school records of Durham extant before 1750, but from that year until Lee was set off as a separate parish in 1766, he taught in the schools of Durham. Soon after removing to Durham he married and resided on his wife's prop- erty, known as the Jones farm.
In 1757 his military career began with his ap- pointment to a captaincy in Colonel Meserve's regi- ment, and he took part in the expedition to Crown Point. A part of Colonel Meserve's regiment, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Goffe, was sent to Fort William Henry, which was under the command of Colonel Monroe, of the Thirty-fifth British Regiment. "The French General Montcalm. at the head of a large body of Canadians and In- dians, with a train of artillery, invested the fort, and in six days the garrison, after having expended all their ammunition, capitulated, on condition that they should not serve against the French for eighteen months. They were allowed the honors of war, and were to be escorted by the French troops to Fort Edward, with their private baggage." The Indians, enraged at the terms granted the garrison,
attacked them as they marched out unarmed. strip- ped them of their baggage and clothes, and with tomahawk and scalping knife wreaked their ven- geance on their defenceless victims. The New Hampshire regiment, which was in the rear, felt the chief fury of the enemy. Out of the two hundred, eighty were killed and taken. Captain Hercules Mooney and his son Benjamin, lost all their arms and private baggage, and for this loss they were afterward partially recompensed by the province. Captain Mooney returned home on parole soon after the massacre of his companions. and in April, 1758, enlisted forty men from Durham and vicinity. In 1761 Hercules Mooney petitioned for an "allowance for care of getting home his son Jonathan," who had enlisted March 14, 1760, and was taken sick with fever at Crown Point, and removed to Albany, where he had smallpox.
The Durham records show that Captain Mooney was elected assessor. March 29. 1762. and selectman, March 25, 1765. On November 18, 1765, Hercules Mooney headed a petition with ninety-nine other inhabitants of Durham, to have the town divided into two parishes. In response to this petition and favorable action by the town of Durham, the provincial government set off a part of Durham and incorporated it as the parish of Lee, January 16, 1766, with town privileges. The greater part of Captain Mooney's farm lay on the Lee side of the division line. and he taught in Lee until the Revolu- tion, and again after the war until 1786, his sons Obadiah and John also teaching. He served as a member of the board of selectmen in Lee from 1769 until the Revolutionary period, and represented his town in the Fifth Provincial Congress at Exeter, December 21, 1775. His record in that congress shows that he was more conservative than most of the delegates. With the exception of the year 1777, he represented his town in the Colonial and state legislature until 1783.
March 14, 1776, Hercules Mooney was appointed major in the regiment of Colonel David Gilman, and stationed at Newcastle or vicinity. September 20, 1776. he was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the Continental battalion, then being raised in New Hampshire. This regiment was under Pierce Long, and stationed at Newcastle until ordered by General Ward to march to Ticonderoga, New York, in Fch- ruary, 1777. Upon the approach of the British army under General Burgoyne, Ticonderoga was evacu- ated July 6, 1777, and the New Hampshire troops were ordered to help cover the retreat, during which a few were killed and about one hundred men wounded. During this retreat Lieutenant- Colonel Hercules Mooney lost his horse. most of his clothes, and all his camp equipage to a very considerable value, and was allowed partial com- pensation. From May 23, 1778, to August 12, 1778, he was a member of the committee of safety, and again from December 23, 1778, to March 10, 1779. June 23. 1779, he was appointed colonel of a regi- ment ordered for continental service in Rhode Island. The regiment was raised in June, and re-

inained in service until the month of January, 1780. After the war Colonel Mooney resumed teach- ing. He served as justice of the peace for Strafford county from July, 1776, until his removal to Holder- ness in 1785, and was afterwards a justice of the peace for Grafton county. He was a grantee of New Holderness in 1761, and active in securing set- tlers for the town, his friend and neighbor, Nathan- iel Thompson, of Durham, being a pioneer. In Holderness he was a selectman, and also repre- sented this town (together with other towns classed with it) in the legislature in 1786-87 and 1789-90.
The record of Colonel Mooney and his sons, as schoolmasters, officers in the Seven Years' and Revolutionary wars, and in civil positions was a notable one. Colonel Mooney was one of those men whom circumstances develop into leaders al- most instantly when the exigencies of the case de- mand them. His record is a source of pride to his descendants. He died in Holderness, in April, 1800, and was buried about one-third of a mile from Ash- land Village, under a willow tree, where his grave was marked with a rough slab of natural stone.
Colonel Mooney married (first), prior to 1738, Elizabeth Evans, born January 19, 1716, daughter of Benjamin Evans, of Dover. Benjamin Evans, born February 2, 1687. was killed by Indians, September 15, 1725. His wife's name was Mary. Hercules Mooney married (second), before 1756, Mary Jones, widow of Lieutenant Joseph Jones. The children by the first wife were: Benjamin, Elizabeth and Jonathan; and by the second, it is probable that there were two: John and Susanna.
(II) Jonathan, third son and fourth child of Colonel Hercules and Elizabeth (Evans) Mooney, was born in what was once "Cocheco parish," Dover. now Madbury, in 1774. He and his brothers were brought up in the midst of war's alarms, and Benjamin, Jonathan and John Mooney were soldiers before they attained their majority. In 1760 a regiment of eight hundred men was raised in New Hampshire, under the command of Colonel John Goffe, for the invasion of Canada. Benjamin Mooney was first lieutenant of Captain Berry's company, and Jonathan enlisted March 14, 1760, and was taken sick with fever at Crown Point, and from there removed to Albany, where he had smallpox, as above stated. He probably spent the chief part of his life as a farmer in the vicinity of Dover.
He married. August 5. 1770, Patience Goold, hy whom he had eleven children : Hercules, Benjamin, William, Timothy, Obadiah, John, Isaac, Joseph, Abigail, Thomas and Samuel.
(III) Benjamin, second son and child of Jon- athan and Patience (Goold) Mooney, died in Sand- wich. He married Polly, widow of Benjamin Groves, and daughter of John Prescott. She died in Sandwich, November, 1865, aged eighty-eight years. (See Prescott V), The children of Benja- min and Polly were: Sally, born June 16, 1799, married James Smith; Lucretia, March 10, 1801, married Alvin Johnson ; Mary, June 29, 1803, mar- ried B. B. Moulton ; Ruth, July 18, 1804, married

(IV) Benjamin Graves, fifth child and eldest son of Benjamin and Polly (Graves) Mooney, was born in Sandwich, October 5, 1806, and died in Lowell. Massachusetts, November 13, 1890. He re- mained on his father's farm until he was twenty- one, and then engaged in mercantile pursuits in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He resided there about five years, and then removed to Lowell, where he was employed several years as city mes- senger. Subsequently he became a member of the police force of that city, rose to the rank of captain of night watch. and was connected with the police service until 1881, when he retired from active life at the age of seventy-five years. He married, Jan- tiary 21, 1830, Mary E. Creighton, born in Boston, June 25. 1814, and died February 4, 1878. Seven children were born of this marriage: Susan L., born January 26, 1831, died February 2, 1843. Mary C., born November 6, 1833, died February 26, 1859. Anna G., born June 2, 1836, died September 8, 1863. Susan L., born December 4. 1844. died September 29, 1884. George W., born November 24, 1850. Al- bert G., born August 7, 1853. William R., whose sketch follows.
(V) William Rufus, third son and youngest child of Benjamin G. and Mary E. (Creighton) Mooney, was born in Lowell. Massachusetts, July II, 1856. He was educated in the public schools and McCoy's Business College, of Lowell. He was fond of adventure and wanted to see something of the world; accordingly, in September, 1872, he went to the Pacific states, and while there was engaged in steamboating, railroading and mining. In 1874 he returned to Lowell, and June 27, 1876. began work as a brakeman on the Boston & Lowell Rail- road. Faithful service won him promotion, and in the summer of 1879 he was made a conductor. He served in that position until January 1, 1893, and was then made train master of the Concord division of the Boston & Maine Railroad, with headquarters at Concord, New Hampshire. August 1. 1899, he was appointed superintendent of that division, with headquarters in Concord. He served in that posi- tion until 1903, and was then transferred to the Worcester, Nashua & Portland division of that road, with headquarters in Nashua. From that time until the present (1907) he has performed his duties with a fidelity and efficiency that has evoked the constant approval of his superior officers. He is a member of Star King Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of Salem, Massachusetts ; Meri- dian Sun Royal Arch Chapter, No. 9, Nashua ; Israel Hunt Council, No. S, Royal and Select Mas- ters, Nashua; Mt.

Ralph Andrew Arnold, of Nashua,
ARNOLD is descended from the Rhode Island Arnolds, who were among the early
settlers of the Providence Plantation. The first of the name in England of whom there is any authen- tic record was (I) Roger Arnold, and from him the line of descent is through (II) Thomas, (1II) Richard, (IV) Richard and (V) Thomas to (VI) Thomas, the immigrant, who located at Providence shortly after its settlement by Roger Williams. Thomas Arnold, Jr., was born in Cheselbourne, Dorsetshire, in 1599, and came to New England in the ship "Plain Joan" in 1635, going first to Water- town, Massachusetts, and shortly afterward to Pro- vidence, where he was admitted a freeman, May 13, 1640. He refused to conform to some of the strict religious rules in vogue at that time, as, ac- cording to the records, he was fined in 1651 twenty pounds for an offence against the law of baptism, and in 1654 he was again subjected to a fine of five pounds for neglecting public worship twenty days. he died in Providence in September, 1674. His children were: Thomas (who died young), Nicho- las, Susanna, Ichabod, Richard, Thomas, John and Eleazer. Richard Arnold, son of Thomas, was born in Providence May 22, 1642, and died April 22, 1710. He was prominent in ithe civic affairs of Rhode Island in his day and several times served as deputy to the General Court. He was twice married. His first wife was before marriage Mary Angell, but the maiden surname of his second wife, who was christened Sarah, is unknown. He was the father of Richard, Jolin, Joseph and Jeremialı. Richard and John settled in Smithfield, Rhode Island, but there is no further record of them avail- able to the writer.
(I) Daniel Arnold, probably a descendant of either Richard or John, just mentioned, was a native of Smithfield and a resident of Thompson, Connecticut.
(II) Daniel (2) Arnold, son of Danicl (1), was born in Thompson and in early life was a farmer.
He resided for a time in Willington, Connecticut, whence he removed to Monson, Massachusetts, and he subsequently engaged in the stone cutting busi- ness at Danielson, Connecticut. He married Lora Stowell, of Abington, Connecticut, and had a family of five children : Daniel, Maria T., Francis A, Jane T. and Ralph A.
(III) Ralph Andrew, only surviving child of Daniel (2) and Lora (Stowell) Arnold, was born in Willington, Connecticut, March 26, 1841. He completed his education at the West Killingly (Con- necticut ) Academy, and began the activities of life as a clerk in a clothing store. He was later engaged in the sewing machine business in Nashua, which he relinquished to enter the service of the Boston & Lowell Railroad Company where. in due time, he was promoted from the position of brakeman to that of conductor, and finally to a clerkship in the freight department, which he retained for some years. For more than forty years Mr. Arnold has resided in Nashua, having located there in 1863, and he has ever since taken a profound interest in the general welfare of his adopted city, partici- pating quite conspicuously in civic affairs. In 1874 he was chosen city clerk, again served in that cap- acity in 1876 and was elected for the third time in 1884. A greater part of the time from 1876 to 1893. he was a member of the board of assessors, and for the years 1876-7 he served as deputy-sheriff. In 1906 he was elected representative to the New Hampshire Legislature from Ward 4, Nashua. For a number of years he has devoted his time exclu- sively to Masonic affairs, being secretary of several bodies connected with that order. and owing to his prominence as a Mason we give his Masonic record in full. He was made a master mason in Rising Sun Lodge No. 39, Ancient Free and Accepted Mason, July 20, 1864; Royal Arch Mason in Meridian Sun Chapter No. 9, March 1, 1870; royal, select and super-excellent master in Israel Hunt Council No. 8, April 10, 1873: and a Knight Templar in St. George Commandery of Nashua, September 20, 1870.

This name is of undoubted English origin
GILL and is found in the early records of New England, where those bearing it bore no mean part in the conquering of the wilderness and in subduing a savage foe who sought to stay the march of civilization. In the struggles with the In- dians the Gills were severe sufferers in common with most families of the pioneers.
(I) John Gill, of Salisbury, Massachusetts, was born about 1622, and was a husbandman or "planter" in Salisbury as early as 1646. In that year he bought a house lot and right of "commonage" of Anthony Sadler, and is listed among the "com- moners" in several subsequent years. He was mar- ried May 2, 1645, in Salisbury, to Phebe, daughter of Isaac Buswell, of Salisbury. Both were members of the church in 1687. John Gill died December I, 1690, having made his will three months previously, and it was proved at the end of March following. His children were: Elizabeth, John, Phebe, Samuel, Sarah, Moses, Benjamin and Isaac. The three eldest sons married and reared families. The first settled at Middletown, Connecticut. Samuel re- mained in Salisbury. Moses resided in Amesbury, where he died before March 31, 1691. His widow moved to Topsfield, Maine, her native place, and it is probable that this led to the settlement of some of her posterity in eastern New Hampshire. Samuel, son of Samuel was carried captive by the Indians to Canada when only ten years old, and never re- iii-7
turned. Tradition says he was ransomed, but re- fused to return to his native home. He married Rosalie James, another white captive of the tribe with whom he lived, and his son became a chief. Their descendants are now living in Canada.
(IV) The destruction of the records of the town of Newmarket has made it impossible to trace com- pletely the line herein sought. It is known that William Gill was living in Newmarket in 1768, and that he removed thence to Concord after Feb- ruary, 1780. His children were : Susanna, William, Bradbury, Moses, John and Lucy, all born in New- market.
(V) Bradbury, second son and third child of William Gill, was born April 7, 1768, in Newmarket, New Hampshire, and was a child when taken to Concord by his father. There he grew up and was married (first) to Rebecca Straw, daughter of Jacob Straw of Hopkinton. He lived in Hopkinton, Wentworth and Salisbury, dying in the last named town (that portion which is now a part of Frank- lin), March 19, 1812. Rebecca (Straw) Gill died May 8, 1809, in Wentworth, and Mr. Gill married (second) Parna Baker, daughter of Abel and Polly (Howe) Baker of Concord. They had one son, who died young, and the widow married Isaac Dow of Concord. By the first wife, Mr. Gill had the following children: Moses, Lydia, Betsey, Brad- bury and Rebecca. The last was born in Went- worth, New Hampshire.
(VI) Bradbury (2), second son and fourth child of Bradbury (I) and Rebecca (Straw) Gill, was born February 10, 1806, in Hopkinton, was deprived of his mother's care by death when only three years old and lost his father when six. He was reared by Samuel Knowlton of West Concord, with whom he remained until he attained his majority. He received a common school education, and acquired the trade of blacksmithing with Captain Knowlton, who was an expert at that branch of mechanics. After he became his own master Mr. Gill continued at the trade, and was long employed about Rattle- snake Hill, whose stone quarries made much de- mand for liis labor. During one winter, Mr. Gill drove an ox-team to Concord with stone, loading back with such freight as was brought to Concord from the metropolis. During his residence in West Concord he was captain of the militia company there. About 1835 lie established himself in Con- cord city, opening a shop in company with one Whitmarsh. This shop was located in South Main street, near Pleasant; later they dissolved partner- ship and Mr. Gill moved to "Mechanics' Row," which stood near the railroad track, in the rear of the present bank building, nearly opposite Park street. In course of time Mr. Gill purchased a shop which stood in what is now Capitol street, which was then private ground. When the street was opened, he moved his shop to the east side of Main street, in the rear of the present Stickney block, a little above his former location, by the railroad tracks. By his industry and shrewd investment of

his carnings Mr. Gill came into possession of con- siderable forming lands on the intervale and at the South End, but he continued at his trade until he retired from active labor about 1876. He passed away at his home in North Spring street, at the corner of Prince street. Concord, December 13, 18SI, near the close of his seventy-sixth year. He built this house in or before 1837. Ile was a regu- lar attendant of the North Congregational Church, of which his wife was a member, and took an in- telligent interest in the world's progress and the wellfare of his fellow men. In early life a Whig, he was among the first to rally to the standard of the Republican party upon its organization. For two years he represented Ward five in the board of aldermen. . He married May 7. 1835, Hannah Farnum, daughter of Isaac and Polly (Martin) Farnum (see Farnum VI). Ilis children were: Sarah Knowlton and Samuel Knowlton. The former is the wife of Hiram J. Carter of Concord. The latter receives extended mention below. Besides his own children, Mr. Gill reared as a father from early childhood Bradbury J. Carter, who succeeded him in business, and cherishes his memory with great respect and gratitude.
