This form of the name has been
FOSGATE adopted within comparatively recent years. It first appears in America as
Fosket, and is still preserved in that form by many of the descendants of the original emigrants. The name has been identified with the settlement of New Hampshire from an early period, and is still ac- tively connected with the development of its history.
(I) John Fosket, who was born in 1636, was a soldier in the Narragansett or King Philip's war, 1676, and in the following year he purchased of Samuel Phipps a homestead in Charlestown, Massa- chusetts.

The Harrimans of New England, HARRIMAN New Jersey and New York are largely descended from the two pioneers of the name-John and Leonard Harriman,
brothers, Puritans, from Yorkshire, England. John settled in what is now New Haven, Connecticut. Many descendants of these two have been ministers of the Gospel.
(I) Leonard Harriman was in Rowley, Massa- chusetts, in 1649. In 1657 he was admitted freeman, and his name was written on the record Hurryman. He died August 19, 1691. His wife's name was Margaret. She died in 1676. They were the parents of three sons, John, Matthew and Jonathan, and a daughter, the eldest of the family.
(II) Matthew, third child and second son of Leonard and Margaret Harriman, was born in Row- Jey, in 1652. He settled in Haverhill, where he took the oath of fidelity November 28, 1677.

(III) Deacon John Harriman was a descendant of Matthew Harriman. of Haverhill. He died in' 1820, at the age of ninety-seven.

He was a deacon in the church.

He was a strong type of the minister of his day and denomi- nation, and would use his keen wit and biting sar- casm with telling effect when attacking the creed of some opposing sect. He preached for a consid- erable time both at the south and the east churches, and at the various school houses in the town. He married first, Lucy who died August II, 1830, aged forty; second, in 1832, Clara Philbrick, who was born in Weare, April S, ISO1, and died July 1, 1879, daughter of Hon.
