(VIHI) Thomas Cornelius Rand, third son and fourth child of Elisha and Betsey ( Hall) Rand, was born in Alstead. November 16. 1828. His studies in the public schools were supplemented with

a course at the Keene Academy, and he began the activities of life as a newsboy. In 1843 he entered the printing office of Messrs. J. & J. W. Prentiss, became an expert compositor and worked his way forward to the editorship of the New Hampshire Sentinel and retained it continuously up to 1893. a period of twenty-eight years, during which time this well-known newspaper was one of the most prominent political organs in the state, and although he withdrew from the editorial management in 1893, he prefers to vary the monotony of retirement by frequently contributing articles upon timely topics which are both vigorous and interesting. Mr. Rand is now ( 1907) in his sixty-fourth year of service on the Sentinel.

For many years Mr. Rand was a leading spirit in local civic affairs. and one of the most prominent Republicans in the state. Prior to the incorporation of Keene as a city he served with ability as a select- man and as town clerk, and for twenty years was. a member of the Republican town committee. He was a delegate to the Republican National Con- vention in Cincinnati in 1876, which nominated Rutherford B. Hayes for the presidency. His ira- ternal affiliations are with the Masonic Order, and his popularity, social, political and otherwise, is easily traceable to his intellectual attainments, high personal character and unusually amiable disposition. He attends the First Congregational Church. Mr. Rand is the author of an interesting pamphlet. pub- lished in 1895, embodying the salient points in the history of Keene.

On January 28, 1851. or 1852, Mr. Rand married Mary Ann Smith. daughter of Asa C. and Esther T. (Eaton) Smith. One child was born of this mar- riage, Frank C., died while a student at West Brat- tleboro, Vermont. Mr. and Mrs. Rand reside at 1844 Washington street, Keene.

WOODS This surname was first taken by some one who lived "at the woods" or "by the woods." and who used this phrase to distinguish himself from others having the same christian or fore-name, by designating his place of residence. Subsequently the locative phrase was shortened to Atwood, Bywood, Woods, or Wood. and regularly used as a surname. The numerous families in America named Woods are not all de- scended from a single immigrant ancestor, but from various forbears who came to America at different times. The name is a very common name through- out New England, and is one of those found at a rather early date in the settlement of the colony of Mas- sachusetts. Nearly all of the name in Groton, Shir- ley, Pepperell and Dunstable are believed to be from one ancestor. His descendants were numer- ous. and have taken parts in the wars for the pro- tection of the country and in the measure to build up the nation from the early times. Two of the name from Groton were killed in Lovell's fight with the Indians at Pequacket, 1725. From the Woods family of Groton comes the Woods line of New Ilampshire.

(I) Samuel Woods, probably a native of Eng- land, was one of the original and ancient pro- prictors of Groton, Massachusetts, to whom an eleven acre right was granted. His house lot weis a little south of the Lawrence Academy of these years. His wife's name was Alice, and they were the parents of six children : Thomas, Elizabeth, Nathan- iel, Mary, Abigail and Hannah.

He settled in Contoocook about 1850, and resided there until the spring of 1852. when he removed to Concord, which was his residence the remainder of his life. In 1837 he began the business of bridge building, which he ever afterward followed. From 1837 to 1850 he was employed on the Hartford & New Haven, the Connecticut. White River & North- ern. Concord & Claremont. and Contoocook Valley railroads. In 1855 he became superintendent of bridges of the Concord railroad, and held that position as long as he lived. In twenty-five years he con- structed more than ten thousand lineal feet of truss bridging, and over four thousand feet of pile and truss bridges. He was a skillful mechanic, a trusted employee, an intelligent gentleman and a highly valued citizen.

She lives in the old homestead on Merri- mack street, which commands a fine view of the city and its eastern environs. The house was built in 1856 by Mr. Woods, and sheltered him the re- mainder of his life.

About four years later he was promoted to engineer, and for a quarter of a century ran an engine over the same line of track on which he had run as a fireman. In 1888 his ability, efficiency, and long and faithful service were in a degree recognized, and he was made general agent of the northern division of the Boston & Maine Railroad, with headquarters at West Leba- non. He discharged the duties of this office during fifteen years preceding his death, and up to within a few months of that event. He was a quiet, thoughtful man. always alert to the interests of his employers, and always possessed the fullest confi- dence of his superiors.

WOODBURY This name has been borne by those who aided in redeeming the New England wilderness from the reign of savages, in redeeming the colonies from an oppressive rule by the Revolution, and in the development of American freedom and the moral and material forces that have made the United States pre-eminent among the nations. It was a pioneer name in New Hampshire, and present-day representatives are active in the twentieth century progress.

(1) The first of the name in America was John Woodbury, known as the "Old Planter," and often called "Father Woodbury," who came from Devon- shire, England, and landed at Cape Ann, Massachu- setts, in 1624, among others, under the direction of the Dorchester Company. He was one of the original settlers of Beverly, whence he removed in 1626 to Naumkeag, or Salem, and was one of the charter members of the First Church there. The settlement becoming prosperous, as prosperity was measured under the conditions then obtaining, the settlers became concerned about a patent of title from the crown, and John Woodbury was sent abroad to secure one. He went in 1027 and re- turned the next year, his mission being successful, and the title to their lands was guaranteed by a patent under date of March 19, 1628. Mr. Wood- bury was accompanied on his return by his eldest son, who had remained abroad on the first immi- gration. John Woodbury was made a freeman in 1635, was deputy to the general court in the same year, and on November 4 of that year received a grant of two hundred acres of land, being his share of one thousand at the head of Bass river divided among five men. He had two wives, but the name of the first is unknown. That of the second was written variously in the early records as Ann, Agnes and Annis. His children were: Humphrey, Hannah, Amoas, Agnes, Abigail, Ann, John and Peter. (Mention of John and Peter and descend- ants forms a part of this article.)

(II) Humphrey, eldest son and child of Jolin and Ann Woodbury, was born in England, 1609-10. He was granted half an acre of land at Winter Harbor, January 2, 1636, for the fishing trade and to build on. During the same year he received a grant of forty acres, and an additional forty acres in the following year. On December 2, 1667, he secured by deed from Susannah Hollingsworth, of Salem, ten acres on the Cape Ann side. In 1652 he purchased from Guido Bayley twenty acres, with dwelling house and barn, in Beverly. It thus ap- pears that he was a large landholder for the time. No will is found on record, but his wife, Elizabeth, made a will which was proven November 26, 1689. Their children were: Thomas, John, Isaac, Hum- phrey, Susannah, William, Peter, Richard, Eliza- beth and Christian.

(III) Thomas, eldest child of Humphrey and Elizabeth Woodbury, was born about 1039. His first wife, Hannah, daughter of William and Eliza- beth Dodge, was a widow when he married her. She was baptized July 24, 1642, in the First Church of Salem, and married Samuel, son of John Porter, the emigrant. Samuel Porter died in 165t, leaving a son, John Porter, who settled in Wenham. MITs. Hannah Woodbury died January 2, 1688, and Mr. Woodbury was married April 29, 1690, to Eliza- beth, widow of Samuel Curtis. His death :s ap- proximately shown by the proving of her will April 20, 1719. His children were : William, Samuel (died at twenty-three years old), Thomas, Israel, Hannah, Elizabeth, Susannah, Jonathan and Samuel. The last was the child of the second wife.

(IV) Jonathan, fifth son and eighth child of Thomas and Hannah ( Dodge) Woodbury, was born September 12, 1682, and was married March 25, 1708, to Eleanor, daughter of Benjamin and Mary Ellingwood. She was baptized June 26, 1692, and died 1759. He passed away in 1773-74, and luis will was proved February 7, 1774. His children were: Benjamin, Hannah, Eleanor, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Cornelius, Nathaniel, Johannah, Eunice, Anna, Ed- ward and Susannah. .

(V) Nathaniel, fourth son and seventh child of Jonathan and Eleanor ( Ellingwood) Woodbury, was born April 1, 1720, in Salem, Massachusetts, and died December 24, 1805, in Salem, New Hamp- shire. He was dismissed from the church in Salem to the church in Methuen, Massachusetts, June 1, . 1740, and settled in the latter town. He was mar- ried September 24, 1747, to Abigail, daughter of Benjamin and Anna

Dike. She was baptized February 26, 1721.

(VI) Israel. son of Nathaniel and Abigail (Dike) Woodbury, was born December to. 1759. in Salem, New Hampshire, and died at the age of ninety-nine years and ten months. He was mar- ried in 1774 to Sarah Smith. He was a soldier of the Revolution, serving through the entire ,trug- gle, was taken by Indians and carried into Canada and detained there a number of years; finally es- caped from the Indians and walked home to Salem, New Hampshire. bringing his gun with him. He married Elizabeth Hall, who bore him eleven chil- dren.

(VII) Asa. eldest son of Captain Israel and Elizabeth (Hall) Woodbury. was born in Salem, New Hampshire. May 3, 1784. and died there May 17, 1847. He was a mason by trade and worked in Boston for many years; he later returned to a farm in Salem. He was one of the prominent men of the town and a valued member of the Methodist Church. Though an ardent abolitionist, he was highly esteemed by his townsmen of differeing opinions, and was elected selectman and served some time in that office. He married Sarah Thom, who was born January 3, 1787, and died June 10. 1856, daughter of William Thom. Their children were : Charles, George, Isaac, only one living, and Eliza- beth.

(VIII) Isaac. third son and child of Asa and Sarah (Thom) Woodbury, was born in Salem, August 11, 1822. He lived on his father's home- stead and attended the common schools and the academy at South Newmarket. At the age of six- teen he became a clerk in a drygoods house in Boston, where he continued until 1847. Then the death of his father required him to return home and take charge of the farm, and from that time

until retiring he was one of the leading farmers in that section of the country, tilling a farm of one hundred and fifty acres with skill and success. At one time he made a specialty of raising Devon cattle which, he sold for breeding purposes in vari- ous parts of New England. In politics he was upheld the principles of the Republican party since its formation, and has filled various offices of trust through the suffrages of the members of that party. He served as selectman three years, represented Salem in the legislature two years, and was one of the commissioners of Rockingham county three years. He is a man of quick observation, good judgment, broad intelligence, strong character, and pro- nounced views. He has been a strong advocate of temperance, and for over sixty years has been a member of the Methodist Church. He has ever been an active worker for religious objects, and for many years was steward, trustee. Sunday school superintendent, and class leader of the church in Salem. Now, though eighty-five years old, he is physically and mentally active and enjoys the plea- sures of living. He married (first) in Cohasset, Massachusetts, October 1, 1846, Caroline W. Par- ker, who was born in Cohasset, Massachusetts, October 2, 1823, and died in Salem, New Hamp- shire, March 2, 1883, aged sixty years, daughter of John and Mary (Lawrence) Parker. Married ( sec- ond) Martha C. (Black) Smith, who was born in Putney, Vermont, June 18, 1838, daughter of Ho- race and Betsy Black, and widow of Joseph W. Smith.

Woodbury, who bore him ten children, namely : Florence Caroline, Gertrude Marie, mar- ried Walter G. Dowling, two children: Franklin and Helen: Emma Grace, Alice Louise, married Thomas Ashley. children: Thomas and Gertrude; Clarence Parker, married and is the father of one child; Mabel Frances, Robert Lawrence, Willard Dana, Helen Head and Francis Canton. 3. Sarah E., married John W. Hall, of Methuen. Massachu- setts, four children: John W., married Dora Ban- nister, two children; Bertha. Edward P. and Al- bert. 4. Mary C., married C. E. Austin, of Me- thuen. 5. Charles H. resides in Allston, and is a member of the firm of Mitchell, Woodbury & Company, Boston, importers and wholesale dealers in crockery and Japanese goods. He married Car- rie Partridge, two children: Marion Willard and Constance. 6. John P., deceased.

(II) John (2), son of John (1) and Agnes Woodbury, was called John, senior. in distinction. from a son of Humphrey Woodbury, who lived in the same community, the terms corresponding to "first" and "second," of modern usage. There is no record relative to his occupation, neither is there a settlement of his estate to be found in the Essex records. The maiden surname of his wife is also unknown. Her christian name was Elizabeth, and after his death she became the second wife of Captain John Dodge. John (2) and Elizabeth Woodbury were the parents of five children. namely: Elizabeth, John. Abigail, Ebenezer and Hannahı.

(111) Ebenezer, youngest son and fourth child of John and Elizabeth Woodbury, was baptized at the First Church, Salem, July 3. 1667. He re- sided on what was known as the Royal ( Salem)

side, and operated a gristmill. He also owned prop- erty in Beverly and power to administer his estate was granted his widow, Hannah, July 1, 1714. Her will was dated August 1, 1748, and proved May 2, 1757. She bequeathed to her son Nathaniel two acres of land in Salem. Ebenezer and Hannah Woodbury had thirteen children, namely: Hannah, Abigail, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Ruth, Priscilla, Mehitable, Ebenezer, John, Jerusha and Nathaniel.

(IV) Nathaniel, youngest son and thirteenth child of Ebenezer and Hannah Woodbury, was bap- tized in Beverly, July 31, 1715, which was after his father's death. It is recorded that on December 12, 1735. '36, he disposed of his right of inheritance in his father's estate to William Woodbury, of Beverly, jomer, for the sum of fifty pounds. On April 25. 1730, he purchased of Joshua Woodbury a piece of property in Methuen, Massachusetts, Con- taining eighty acres of upland and swamp. A record at hand states that he resided in Salem, New Hamp- shire, and as that town was originally a part of Methuen it is quite probable that his property was included within the limits of New Hampshire some time during his life. There is, however, no settle- inent of his estate on record in Rockingham county. His wife, Rebecca. was received into the church at Beverly, March 23, 1735, and dismissed to the Second Parish in Methuen, June 1, 1740. His chil- dren were: Rebecca, Hannah, Anna, Nathaniel, Sarah, John, Luke and Mehitable.
