(V) General Joseph(2), the second, eldest of the seven children of Joseph (1) and Hannah ( Peaslec) Badger, was born in Haverhill, January II, 1722. He lived in Haverhill and Bradford, Mas- sachusetts, whence he removed to Gilmanton, New Hampshire, in the early settlement of which there was no more distinguished individual. IIc becanic a proprietor by purchasing shares that were for- feited and sold at auction. He came to Gilmanton in the spring, and sowed and planted, but in con- sequence of the sickness and death of his son Wil- liam,. 1763, in the month of May, he did not remove his family until July. His was the eighteenth family, and at the raising of his barn that season, the first framed building erected in town, he had, as he often afterward stated, every man, woman and child to take supper with him. General Badger, while a youth, served in the militia in the capacity successively as ensign. lieutenant and captain. He was frequently a selectman of the town and moder- ator of its meetings. He was also appointed at the age of twenty-three a deputy sheriff, which office lie held until he removed from Massachusetts to
New Hampshire in July, 1763. He was the first magistrate in the place, and his commission as justice of the peace was renewed March 10, 1768. He also officiated in various offices in the town. He was appointed colonel of the Tenth Regiment, July IO, 1771.

He was also a member of the Provincial congress, and a member of the congress which adopted the con- stitution. In 1784 he received the commission of justice of the peace and quorum throughout the state. In the same year he wa. commissioned, in company with John Wentworth, John Plumer and Ebenezer Smith, to administer the oaths of office and allegiance to the civil and military officers of the county. He was appointed brigadier general, June 27, 1780, and judge of probate for Strafford county, December 6, 1784, which office he held until May 13, 1797, when he resigned. He was also a member of the state council in 1784, 1790, 1791. As a military man, General Badger was commanding in person, well skilled in the science of tactics, expert as an officer, and courageous and faithful in the per- formance of every trust. With him order was law, rights were most sacred, and the discharge of duty was never to be neglected. He was a uniform friend and supporter of the institutions of learning and religion. He not only provided for the education of his own children by procuring private teachers, but he also took a lively interest in the early estab- lishment of the common schools for the education of children generally. Not content with such efforts merely, he did much in founding and erecting the Academy in Gilmanton, which has been such a blessing to the place and vicinity. He was one of the most generous contributors to its funds, and was one of its trustees and the president of the board of trust until his death. Instructed from his boy- hood by pious parents in the principles of religion, he early appreciated the blessing of a Christian min- istry. Having become the subject of Divine grace, he publicly professed religion, and espoused the cause of Christ. As he was a generous supporter of the institutions of the gospel, so to his hospitable mansion the ministers of religion always found a most hearty welcome. While the rich and the great honored him, the poor held him in remem- brance for his bounteous liberality. He was nearly six feet in statitre, somewhat corpulent, light and fair in complexion, and dignified and circumspect in his manner and conversation. llis whole life was marked by wisdom, prudence, integrity, firmness and benevolence. Great consistency was manifested in all his deportment. Ile died April 4, 1803, eighty- two years of age, ripe in years, ripe in character and reputation, and a ripe Christian. He came to the "grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometl in its scason."

The last couple had nineteen children, and the first twelve, making in all thirty- one children. ITis widow survived until February IQ, 1817, when she departed this life aged nincty- five. Her children were twelve, William, Hannah, Mehitable, Joseph, Rebecca, Ruth, Rachel, Ebenezer, Mary and Nathaniel, twins, Sarah, and Judith. Her

grandchildren were forty-five, her great-grandchil- dren ninety-five, and her great-great-grandchildren twenty-five. Few live so long, and fewer still have in so eminent a degree as she had both power and the inclination to relieve the distressed, and to con- tribute to the happiness of her fellow creatures.
(VI) Hon. Joseph (3), fourth child and second son of General Joseph (2) and Hannah ( Pearson) Badger, was born in Bradford, Massachusetts, Oc- tober 23, 1746, died January 15, 1809, aged sixty- two. He is the first man of whose marriage in Gilmanton there is any record. He was a man of great military ardor, and held offices in the militia for thirty years passing from the rank of captain to that of brigadier general. In the Revolutionary war he was prompt to duty, and commanded a con- pany at Mount Independence, on Lake Champlain, July, 1776. He was present at the capture of Bur- goyne in 1777, and was on the detachment that es- corted the vanquished army to Boston. After peace was restored he served in 1784, '86, 'S7, as selectman of the town. Subsequently he represented the town in the state legislature, and was counsellor six years. He originally owned lot No. 7 of the upper one hundred acres on which the central and north- ern part of the village is built, and on which the academy and seminary buildings stand, and through his influence by selling building lots and encourag- ing mechanics to settle, the village was founded and increased. He took a leading part in obtaining the charter for the academy, was one of the grantees, and was the principle agent in obtaining subscrip- tions to the fund. He gave the land on which the academy is located, and superintended the erection of the first academy buildings. He also obtained the act establishing the courts in Gilmanton, and ar- ranged the hall of the academy and courthouse, and also a town house, where, by his efforts, first the town meetings were held. In 1798, under an act of congress, he was appointed a committee to provide for the valuation of lands and dwelling houses, and the enumeration of slaves. He married, August I, 1766, Elizabeth Parsons, daughter of Rev. William Parsons, and by her had six children: Joseph, Han- nah, Sarah, Elizabeth, William and Ebenezer.

PILLSBURY The family of this name, which now numbers thousands, and many of whose members have at- tained first rank in the world of manufacturers, are descended from one ancestor who brought from old England, to the shores of . young New England the sterling qualities that have made his progeny a reputation for honesty, industry, thrift and success second to none.
(I) William Pillsbury, the ancestor of the fam- ily, came from England, probably in 1640 or 1641.

He practiced successfully until 1864, when he and his brother Alpha J., began the manufacture of shoes in Lynn, Massachusetts, under the name of Pillsbury Brothers. Later the business was removed to Northwood, New Hampshire, and carried on successfully until 1886, J. J.

power. Here they and Mr. Peabody carried on suc- cessfully the manufacture of cloth. Mr. Pillsbury was a Democrat in politics, and twice represented the town of Tilton in the legislature. He married, in 1860, Juliette Tucker, born, 1834, daughter of Alvah and Mary Jane (Bean) Tucker, of Meredith Bridge. There are no children of this marriage. Mr.' Pillsbury was a lifelong business man, and his success was due to his own efforts. He was an un- tiring worker, and his only recreations were those afforded by the forest and stream. Mrs. Pillsbury is a member of the Order of the Eastern Star degree of Masons, and of the Tilton Woman's Club.
(VIII) Alpha Jefferson, fourth child and third son of Enoch Hale and Eliza (Young) Pillsbury, was bern March 9, 1836, in the town of Northwood, and died in Tilton, November 26, 1891 or 1901. He was educated in the common schools and at Laconia and New Hampton. He remained on his father's farm until he was about twenty, working at farm work, and learned the shoemaker's trade, at which latter business he earned money to take him to school, as did his brother John. After leaving school Mr. Pillsbury established an express line for transporting shoes between Lynn, Massachusetts, and Northwood, New Hampshire, where the shoe stock was made into shoes. This he operated three or four years, and then was joined by his brother John in the manufacture of shoes in Lynn in 1864. This business, small at first, they built to much larger proportions. Three years after it was started it was moved to Northwood, where a large factory was built in which the business was carried on for about seventeen years, until 1885, when it was removed to Tilton. Five years later the brothers sold out and formed a company with Sel- win Peabody, who had long been engaged in the manufacture of woolen cloth. Mr. Peabody retired from the firm later. In 1901 the company was in- corporated, and is now the Tilton Woolen Mills (incorporated).
Mr. Pillsbury was a Democrat, and represented the town of Northwood two terms in the Legisla- ture. He was a director in the old Concord & Montreal railroad, and in the National Bank in Manchester. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Tilton, and of the Order of the Eastern Star. He was not a church communicant, but gave liberally to churches and other deserving institu- tions. He was essentially a business man, and his was a busy life. He had no time for modern fash- ionable recreations, but was fond of hunting which the forests and streams of New Hampshire forty years ago furnished in abundance. He married, November. 1862, Eliza Smith Tucker, of Meredith Bridge (now Laconia), born September 23, 1838, daughter of Alvah and Mary Jane ( Bean) Tucker, natives of New Hampshire. Two daughters were born of this marriage: Mabel T., born 1870, wife of William II. Moses (see Moses, VIII) ; and Ethel Josephine, wife of Otis Daniell.
