he was known as "Bleeding Kansas." In 1857 he resumed his studies and attended a few terms of a high school, when he entered upon the study of the law, paying his expenses in the meantime by work at his trade and teaching school winters. Having prepared himself for his chosen profession he went on a visit to Michigan in the spring of 1861. Soon after his arrival the news came that Fort Sumter had been fired upon and the whole north became aroused. Mr. Crawford immediately entered upon the work of raising volunteers for the defense of the flag, addressing meetings in all parts of the state. September 2, 1861, he enlisted in the Second Regiment, Michigan Cavalry, and was appointed sergeant major. which position he held until pro- moted to that of lieutenant by Colonel P. H. Sher- idan, who was in command of the regiment. Sher- idan detailed him as battalion adjutant, which posi- tion he held until his resignation from the army. During his service he was engaged in twenty battles and skirmishes and was twice wounded, but not seriously. His health failing, he resigned and, re- turning to his home in Michigan, entered upon the practice of his profession, but was soon called upon to assist in raising another regiment of cavalry. In recognition of his services while at the front before he resigned, General Hall. of the Iowa Brigade, gave him the following endorsement:
"Head Quarters 2nd Brig. 5th div. 14th Army Corps, Murfreesboro, Feb. 24, 1863.
"Sir :- I take great pleasure in testifying to the merits of Lieutenant John G. Crawford, 2nd Mich. Cavalry. His Battalion of Cavalry was for a long time attached to my Brigade for duty, and the com- mand detached scouring the country between the Green and Cumberland Rivers. Lieut. C. is an of- ficer of sterling integrity, great vigilance and brav- ery, and possesses all the qualifications necessary for further promotion. Should a position be open in the formation of new forces I would cheerfully recommend Lieut. Crawford as every way worthy of promotion."
"A. S. HALL, Colonel
Commanding 2nd Brig. 5 Div. 14th A. C."
On his leaving the Second Regiment the officers gave him the following :
"Franklin, Tenn., April 3d, 1863.
"We, the undersigned Officers of the 2nd Regi- ment, Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, having been per- sonally acquainted with Lt. J. G. Crawford during the eighteen months that he has served his country in this Regiment, most cheerfully testify to his faithfulness, ability and patriotic zeal as an officer, and deeply regret that he is compelled, by enfeebled health, to quit, for the present, the work in which his whole heart seems to be engaged.
"He carries with him the blessings of many a tried soldier, and our earnest wish that he may soon regain his health and be able to do our Coun- try still greater honor.
"A. P. CAMPBELL, Col. 2nd Mich. Cav. "L. S. SCRANTON and "JOHN C. GODFREY, Majors."

Mr. Crawford had but just located and resumed his practice when he was called again to the work of raising volunteers. He was commissioned by Governor Blair as captain in the Tenth Cavalry, and from July 4 to October, 1863. was actively engaged in addressing war meetings. In order to reach the young men he took advantage of a large circus traveling in his section and, when the show was over, the ringmaster would request the people to remain seated as he had something to present not on the bills, and Mr. Crawford would address the audience from the ring of the show. His health had not sufficiently recovered to permit his again going to the front. In the fall of 1864 he received the nomination and was elected to the Michigan state senate, in which he served two years, being appointed chairman of the senate committee on the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum. and a member of the committee on military affairs. He removed to Lancaster, New Hampshire, in January, 1870, and commenced the practice of his profession, which he continued until 1881, when he was appointed by President Garfield to the consulship at Coaticooke, Province of Quebec, which office he held until the fall of 1884. He came to reside in Manchester, where he now lives, November, 1890, maintaining his law office at West Derry, New Hampshire. Mr. Crawford has been actively engaged in all the political campaigns since 1856 until 1896, when he was sent by the National Republican Committee to Kansas. where forty years before he had been en- gaged in defending the territory against the cohorts of slavery. In addition to other political offices he has held, he served as recorder of the village of Holly. Michigan, in 1865-66. After his removal to New Hampshire he served as secretary and presi- dent of the Coos and Essex Agricultural Society, and town clerk of Lancaster in 1877. He is a mem- ber of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Masonic fraternity. In addition to several political addresses which have been published, he has been a free contributor to the press and magazines; is author of "The Indians of the Merrimack." "Indian Nomenclature," "Fort William and Mary," published by the Manchester Historical Association, of which he is a member. Several addresses delivered on memorial days, dedications and anniversaries have been published, but he is best known as a political speaker. in which capacity he has canvassed Massa- chusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Vermont and Kansas.
Mr. Crawford has been three times married, (first) in Michigan, April 16, 1863, to Emma Tin- dall, a popular musician of that state. by whom he had one daughter, who died in infancy. His wife died June 27, 1866, and he married (second) Abbic True Stevens, June 30, 1867, a daughter of Simon Stevens, of Paris, Maine, who was a descendant of Captain Stevens, of No. 4 fame. (Charlestown, New Hampshire). By her he had two daughters ; the eldest died at Lancaster, New Hampshire. in 1873: the second, Carrie E. Crawford, now resides in Manchester, New Hampshire. and is married to
John W. Chapman. His wife died at Coaticooke, Province of Quebec, February 2, 1882, while he was in the consular service. He married (third) Mary A. Harrington, of Worcester, Massachusetts, April 30. 1884. She was a graduate of the Worcester high school, and a teacher in the public schools of that city for nineteen years. He has one son, Harry Calvin Crawford, born November 21, 1885, now re- siding in Manchester, and a graduate of the high school, class of 1905. He is now a student in the University of Pennsylvania. The description of the armorial bearings of the family is as follows, viz .: "Quarterly Ist and 4th. gules. a fess, ermine ; 2nd and 3d. azure, a Cheveron, betwix three Crosses. Pattees, or supported by two Grey hounds. Crest, an ermine, Argent. Motto 'Sine labe nota'" (Dis- tinction without a stain).
This is one of the oldest of the class TAYLOR known as occupative surnames; and the vocable which designates the per- son who cuts the cloth for garments, is known in the languages of all civilized nations. In the regis- ters of four or five hundred years ago the name was spelled in very many ways, the present form being. of comparatively recent date.

This Ancient English name is found
SEARLES under various spellings in the early Colonial records, such as: Searl, Serl, Serle, and so on. The family seems to have have several representatives who were vibrating between Boston and Barbadoes, and most of them appear to have been men of considerable means, which were probably acquired in maritime specu- lation. The name was spread by the wave of pio- neer migration two hundred years ago, and has been found numerously represented throughout New England and the United States.
(I) Daniel Searles, of Boston, is found on record there previous to 1666. He was a gentleman of wealth and scrupulously referred to in all the early records, both town and church, as well as in private correspondence, by the title of Colonel or Esquire. In 1669 he removed from Boston to Barbadoes, where the bulk of his estate was probably located. He married Deliverance, daughter of Edward Tyng, and they had two children born in Boston: Daniel and Samuel.

He sold lands, located in what is now Nelson, New Hampshire, in Brattleboro, Vermont, and what are now the towns of Hill, Acworth, New London and Newbury, New Hampshire. He also sold lands in Dunstable, and the records show that he purchased in 1752, lands from the Masonian proprietors, which he sold in 1753 to Thomas Parker, located in Nel- son. His will was made January 7, 1758, and proved June 7, the same year. At that time he was living with his second wife, Lydia, and the will also mentions a son Samuel, and daughter Mary. He died the day following the execution of the will. By his first wife, Sarah, he had born, in Dunstable: Deliverance, Samuel, Mary and Sarah (twins), Daniel, John and Jonathan.
(III) Samuel (2), eldest son and second child of Samuel (1) and Sarah Searles, was born March 1, 1707, in Dunstable, and resided in that town. His wife Mary, is supposed to have been a Butterfield. Their children, on record in the vital statistics, were: Samuel, Benjamin and Mary.

Allen, who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, Novem- ber II, 1802, and died in Chelsea, Massachusetts, February 28, 1887. Their children were James A., Charles A., Susan A., George W., Marinda A., Ed- win D., Franklin W., Francis, Amanda A. and Wil- liam L.
(VII) Edwin Duren, sixth child and fourth son of James (6) and Susan V. (Allen) Searles, was born in Methuen, Massachusetts, August 17, 1836. He was educated in the common and high schools of Milford, and was a bookkeeper for A. W. Stearns & Company, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, for four years, then became a partner in the firm which was thus continued for seven years. Later he formed a partnership with S. F. Snell, in Lawrence, Massa- chusetts, which was dissolved after one year had elapsed. In 1871 Mr. Searles settled in Milford, New Hampshire, and bought a farm of one hundred and ten acres, which he has since cultivated, mak- ing a specialty of market gardening and also the raising of cattle. He is a member of the Second Advent Church of Lawrence. He married, Novem- ber 16, 1864, Frances A. Field, who was born in Keene, July 28, 1843, daughter of Jeremiah and Polly (Harvey) Field.

This family, which originated in France
PETIT and was transplanted to Canada by an immigrant who settled in the province of Quebec, is noted for its intelligence, natural abil- ity and progressive tendencies, several of its repre- sentatives having attained success in professional life.
(I) Philip Hubert Petit was born at Saint Denis, province of Quebec, in 1816. For many years he was a prosperous merchant in his native town, also served as postmaster about fifty years, and his death occurred in 1897. The maiden name of his wife was Cordelia Richer (Lafleche), and she be- came the mother of ten children-eight sons and two daughters. Those now living are: A. Wilfred, M. D., who will be again referred to; Cordelia, who became the wife of H. C. Phaneuf; Ernest, notary-public of St. Jerome, province of Quebec ; Charles H., who is in the clothing business at Law- rence, Massachusetts; Alphonse H., M. D., of Law- rence, Massachusetts; and Eva, who is residing in Nashua. Each of the sons received the advant- ages of a good education.
(II) A. Wilfred Petit, M. D., eldest living son of Philip H. and Cordelia Richer (Lafleche) Petit, was born in St. Damase, September II, 1853. The primary branches of his education were pursued in the public schools, from which he entered the Maryville (province of Quebec) College, and he was subsequently a student at the Victoria Medi- cal School, Montreal, being graduated in 1877. Be- ginning his professional career in his native town he later removed to Buckingham, province of Quebec, where he remained for some time acquiring the practical experience necessary for success in a wider sphere of operation, after which he returned to St. Damase, and coming to the United States in ISSI, he located in Nashua. For a period of twen- ty-six years he has practiced medicine continuously in that city, and in addition to acquiring the es- teem and confidence of the French speaking people, he has gained the respect and good will of the citi- zens in general, building up and maintaining an extensive practice. Dr. Petit is still an enthusiastic student in the origin and treatment of diseases, and has deservedly attained an honorable record in his profession. He is a member of the New Hamp- shire State, and the Nashua Medical societies, the French Medical Society of New Hampshire and the American Medical Association. In his religious faith he is a Roman Catholic, and belongs to the St. John Society connected with the St. Aloysius parish, wherein he resides. He married Miss Anna R. Chagnon, of Fall River, Massachusetts, and has two daughters: Bertha Loraine and Andrea F., the latter at present attending a convent school in Montreal.
In the legal profession, which em- LUCIER braces many of the most brilliant minds of the nation, it is difficult to win a name and place of prominence. One must commence at the initial point, must plead and win
his first case and worked his way upward by ability, gaining his reputation and success by merit. Thus. has Alvin Joseph Lucier, of Nashua, New Hamp- shire, carved his way. He is a type of the progres- sive spirit of the age, a spirit which has given Amer- ica pre-eminence along its various business lines, and the undaunted enterprise, indomitable prese- verance and resolute purpose which have character- ized him, have been the means of raising him to the position which he now occupies.
Alvin Joseph Lucier, born June 6, 1869, is a son of Paul A. and Elizabeth (Brennan) Lucier, and grandson of Paul Lucier, a native of St. Damase,- province of Quebec, Canada.
Paul A. Lucier (father) was born in St. Damase, province of Quebec, Canada, died April 20, 1903, in Nashua, New Hampshire, whither he came at the age of twenty years. He was a blacksmith by trade. He attended the Roman Catholic Church. His wife, Elizabeth (Brennan) Lucier, who came to this country from Killarney, Ireland, and died in 1891, bore him eight children, seven of whom are living at the present time (1906) : Albert E., of Arlington, Massachusetts; Olin P., of Nashua, New Hampshire; Luella J., wife of J. J. Doyle, of Na- shua, New Hampshire; Eva J., wife of Charles E. Holt; Eben N., of Nashua, New Hampshire; Archie P., a member of the Regular United States army ; and Alvin Joseph, of this review.
Alvin Joseph Lucier attended the public schools and St. Hyacinth College in Quebec, and was sub- sequently graduated from the Boston University Law School, 1891. Shortly after his graduation he was. admitted to the bar of New Hampshire and began to practice his profession in partnership with J. J. Doyle, of Nashua, his brother-in-law, under the firm name of Doyle & Lucier. They now enjoy a large practice and have gained an enviable repu- tation throughout the state, and have before them a bright and promising future. He has been an active factor in Democratic politics, has been a nom- inee for many high offices, but has been repeatedly defeated owing to the fact that his party is in the minority in the section in which he resides. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, and since 1889 has served as organist of St. Aloysius Catholic Church. He is a musician of note and prominence in his section and his services are constantly in demand. His career has been marked by the strict- est integrity, faithfulness to every trust reposed in him and he is known as a representative man, a pleasant social companion and a devoted husband and father. Mr. Lucier married Katherine A. Dou- cet, daughter of F. A. Doucet, and they have two- children : Alvin A. and Elizabeth K.
The name of Armstrong is of ARMSTRONG Scotch derivation and owes its origin to an interesting incident. Fairbairn, armor bearer to one of the ancient Scot- tish kings, was instrumental in saving the life of royalty. The king had a horse killed under him in battle, and Fairbairn took the king by the thigh and

set him on his saddle. The armour bearer's services were rewarded by ample gifts of land on the bor- ders, and by the title of Armstrong in recognition of the manner of his aid. The coat of arms of the family, bestowed at the time, consists of three mailed arms on a field, gules, surmounted by a crest wreath from which extends a bare hand of great size holding a leg in armor, couped at the thigh. Underneath is the motto, "Vi et armis." The Arm- strong name in this country dates from very early days, and for one hundred and seventy years one family embracing six generations, has lived on the old homestead at Windham, New Hampshire, an unusual record in these changing times. George W. Armstrong, head of the Armstrong Transfer Com- pany, of Boston, belonged to this branch.
(I) Robert Armstrong was one of the original proprietors of Londonderry, New Hampshire, on June 21, 1722. Londonderry was settled by the Scotch-Irish who came to this country to establish the Presbyterian faith. The famous siege of Lon- donderry in Ireland took place in 1789. The date of Robert's birth and death is not known, neither is the name of his wife. Tradition says that this emi- grant ancestor came from the north of Ireland, bringing two children with him. One died on the voyage, and was buried at sea, and the father al- ways spoke of this loss as the most painful incident of his life. The other, John, was nine years old at the time of his arrival at Londonderry, New Hampshire.

Armstrong farm as early as 1738. This is the Armstrong homestead at Windham, New Hamp- shire, which has been in the possession of the family ever since. John Armstrong built the house in 1762, and relics brought from Ireland are still preserved in it. John Armstrong was surveyor of highways in 1743, selectman in 1744, and moderator at annual town meetings in 1751-2, and several times moder- ator at special meetings. The last time he presided at a special meeting was in 1769. He signed the Association Test in 1776. Soon after the installa- tion of Rev. John Kinkead in 1760, he was made an elder of the church. He married Janet who died October 12, 1776, aged seventy years. He died May 6, 1795, aged eighty-two years. They are buried in the old cemetery on the plain. They had seven children, all born in Windham: Janet, born 1738, died unmarried in Windham; Agnes, born November 15, 1740, married James Anderson, and had six children, all of whom died young; Ann, born July 15, 1742, married James Freeland, of Boston, Massachusetts ; John, born October 8, 1743 ; Robert, born June 12, 1745, died in his nineteenth year; David, mentioned below; and Mary, born July 21, 1749, died in the fifth year of her age.
(III) David, sixth child and youngest of the three sons of John and Janet Armstrong, was born at Windham, New Hampshire, June 11, 1747. David
succeeded his father on the home farm. He signed the Association Test in 1776. He was surveyor of highways in 1778, and constable in 1784. He mar- ried, January 8, 1775, Elizabeth Hemphill, daughter of Robert Hemphill. She died January 2, 1839, aged eighty-five years. David Armstrong died June 21, 1836, aged eighty-nine years.
