(IX) Fred Henry, third child and second son of John (2) and Nancy Jane (Manning) Savory, was born in Warner, December 29, 1859. He was educated in the common schools and in Simonds Free High School of Warner. In 1877 he entered the employ of the Boston & Lowell railroad, and filled a position in the freight department. Re- turning to Warner in 1882 he was employed in a general store at Bagley. From there he went to Concord, and became a dealer in coal, wood, hay and grain, remaining there six years. In 1896 he again returned to Warner, where he is now engaged in real estate business, is a lumber buyer, and senior partner in the firm of Fred H. Savory & Company,

dealers in hardware, tinware, etc., Fred A. Savory being the junior partner. He also carries on farm- ing, owning several farms in and near Warner. Mr. Savory is a practical business man, full of good sense and enthusiasm, and has made life a success and enjoyed it. He is a Republican, but not a politician. He married in Warner, Emily Good- hue Dow, who was born in Warner, January 13, 1861, daughter of Samuel Il. and Emily ( Rand ) Dow. They have two children: Fred Arthur. born in Warner, February 28, 1884; and Miriam Emily, born in Warner, October 5, 1891.


By reason of the various ways of THYNG spelling this family name by town and parish clerks, and frequently by mem- bers of the family itself, it is difficult to determine with certainty who was the American ancestor. In


the New England genealogical


and reference works the name is variously rendered as Thwing, Thing. Tyng and Thyng, the latter being used per- haps the less frequently, from which it may be in- ferred that that form was adopted by a single branch of the family, or that the Thyngs are of a family entirely separate from those who claim descent from Benjamin Thwing, of Boston, 1035, the ac- knowledged ancestor of all the Thwings of America. There is a fair ground for the belief, however, that the Thwings of Rockingham and Belknap counties in New Hampshire are of the same family as the Things of Exeter, New Hampshire, and of Industry, Maine, and also that all are branches of the present family of which Benjamin Thwing of Boston was the progenitor on this side of the At- lantic ocean.


Benjamin Thwing is said to have America as a servant or apprentice of Ralph Hud- son, in the "Susan and Ellen," and although Ben- jamin's wife Barbara is not mentioned in the ship's list of passengers, she is believed to have come at the same time. The name as first mentioned in his- tory in 1231, is Sir Robert de Twenge, Lord of Kilton Castle, Cumberland county, England. It may be said, however, that Thwing genealogy does not recognize any other than the single rendition of the name, nor does it mention any of the Things of Maine or the Thyngs and Things of New Hamp- shire, but it may be fairly assumed that Thing and Thyng are synonymous names, and also that the Things of Exeter were the ancestors of the later generations of Thyngs of Rockingham and Belknap counties, New Hampshire, and that regardless of the fact that that direct connection cannot be satis- factorily traced from Jonathan Thing of Exeter to Jeremiah and Mark Thyng of Barnstead.


The Thing family in Exeter dates to the earliest history of the town. Jonathan Thing, the first settler there of the name, was a selectman in 1658 and for seven years afterward, town clerk in 1689. and representative in 1693. His sons Samuel and Bartholmew held the same offices for even longer periods, and the service of the latter did not end until 1737. For many years they were among the leading men of the town.


(I) Jeremiah Thyng was born in Brentwood, Rockingham county, New Hampshire, and during his young manhood moved to Gilford, Belknap county, where he was an early settler on Liberty Hill, and also helped to organize the Free Baptist Church of that town. The family name of his wife was Morrill, and among their six children was a son named Jeremiah.


(1) Mark P. Thyng is believed to have been a


brother of Jeremiah. but very little is known of his family life and history, except that he was married and had a son named John Sleeper Thyng.


(11) Jeremiah B. Thyng (one record mentions his name is Thing), son of Jeremiah and


(Morrill) Thyng, was born on the old home farm on Liberty Hill, and lived there until he was thirty- five years old. For a time afterward he managed a store in Gilford, New Hampshire, and after four years there went to Lakeport, New Hampshire, where he was employed in a mill. Subsequently he moved to Dover, New Hampshire, and engaged in trade four years, then kept a general store in Al- ton, New Hampshire, three years, and returned thence to the old home in Gilford. In 1860 he located at New Hampton, where he was at one time selectman and also one of the strongest pillars of the Free Will Baptist Church. He died in New Hampton in 1881, aged seventy-seven years. He


married Hannah Davis, daughter of Nathaniel Davis, of the family of that name on Governor's Island, in Gilford. Jeremiah B. and Ilannah ( Davis) Thyng had one child, Charles Davis Thyng, born in Lakeport, New Hampshire, August 4. 1845.


(Il) John Sleeper, son of Mark P. Thyng, was born in Alton, New Hampshire, April 15, 1831, and died January 1, 1891. He married, August 28, 1853, Ann Maria Mooney, born August 24, 1834. died June 13, 1885, daughter of John H. Mooney, born April 3, 1796, and Lovina ( Chamberlin) Mooney, born November 13, 1803. ( Edwin P. Mooney, eld- est child of John Il. and Lovina Mooney. was born December 29, 1831, and died May 14, 1878; married November 25, 1857, Tamsen A., daughter of Levi and Tamsen ( Chamberlin) Leighton, Levi and Tamsen Leighton's children were Hannah B., Mary C., John W. and Levi, all now deceased, and Tamsen A. and Emily M.)


(III) Charles Edwin. son of John Sleeper and Ann Maria (Mooney) Thyng, was born in AAlton, New Hampshire, September 25, 1856, and received his education in public schools. His principal oc- cupation in business life has been farming, and while his beginning was made under reasonably favor- able conditions his lands have been increased to four times their original acreage and now com- prise four hundred acres of the best cultivated farm lands. Woodland View Farm, his home, is distant three miles from Barnstead Station, and four miles from Burnstead Centre Station, and has an alti- tude of more than eleven hundred feet above tide- water. For a number of years the place has at- tracted considerable attention as a resort for sum- mer boarders. Mr. Thyng is an enterprising and successful farmer, having a herd of about twenty- five dairy cows and an orchard of rare excellence which produces annually under normal conditions about three hundred barrels of choice apples. In Barnstead and Belknap county Mr. Thyng is some- thing of a public man, although he is not in any sense a seeker after public or political honors. He is well known, however, in political circles and frequently has been chosen delegate to county, senatorial and congressional conventions; locally he has served as town supervisor and election officer. For the last twenty-five years he has been a men- ber of Suncook Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Pittsfield.


On June 11, 1882, he married Ora Anna Fletcher, who was born in Dover, New Hampshire, Novem- ber 10, 1863, and by whom he has three children : James Edwin, John and Lizzie Ann Thyng. Mrs.

Thyng's father, James Fletcher, was born at Dracht, Massachusetts, in IS38, and married Elizabeth P. Miller, and his father, James H. Fletcher, de- scended from an old New England family.


In the year 1718 a large number of CHRISTIE English and Scotch inhabitants of the north of Ireland joined in a memorial to Governor Shute, of New England, asking that some encouragement be extended them to emigrate and settle in "that very excellent and renowned plantation." Among the signers of the memorial were Peter and William Christie, but when the town of Londonderry in the province of New Hampshire was settled in pursuance of the memorial and the generous action of the provincial authorities neither Peter nor William Christie were of the colonists who transported themselves to that locality, although Jesse became a resident soon after.


As a matter of fact a comparatively small num- ber of Governor Shute's memorialists came to in- habit the lands set off to them and in their stead sent other members of their families. generally sons, sturdy young men, some with families and others single, but all determined to make homes for themselves in a country where they could enjoy the blessings of life free of the persecution which had been their lot and because of which their fore- fathers and themselves had been compelled to aban- don their homes and lands in England and Scot- land and seek refuge in the north of Ireland.


(I) Jesse Christie was born in northern Ire- land in 1672, and came to Londonderry, New Hamp- shire, soon after the general division of the lands of the township. He secured his farm by purchase and not as one of the original proprietors. He was among those citizens who in 1727 subscribed to the oath of allegiance. The name of his first wife is not discovered. Perhaps she was dead when he left his native land. By his wife Mary he had two children born in Londonderry, namely : Mary, January I, 1729, and George, October 1, 1731. The latter was known as Captain George Christie, of New Boston. The father died August 8. 1739. and was survived more than thirty-seven years by his widow, who died December 24. 1776, at the age of seventy-nine years. These records are shown by their headstones.


(II) Peter, son of Jesse Christie and his first wife. was born 1710, in Ireland, and resided in Londonderry, New Hampshire, where he died Janu- ary II, 1753, at the age of forty-three years, as shown by his headstone. In his will mention is made of his wife and children: Jesse, Eliza, Wil- liam and Peter. He married, in Londonderry, Jean Moor. daughter of William and Martha (Ander- son) Moor, and a sister of Allan and Deacon Wil- liam Moor, of New Boston.


(III) Jesse (2), eldest child of Peter and Jean (Moor) Christie, was born in Londonderry, and be- came a very prominent citizen of New Boston. New Hampshire. He was a man of upright character, and for many years filled a prominent place in the history of the church in that town. He was deacon under the first pastor, and in secular occupation was a farmer and a mill owner. His wife was Mary Gregg, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Moor) Gregg, sister of Samuel Gregg, who settled in An- trim as early as 1777. and granddaughter of Captain James and Janet (Cargil) Gregg. Captain James Gregg was one of the sixteen original settlers of


Londonderry in 1719, and even then was well ad- vanced in years. Deacon Jesse and Mary (Gregg) Christie had twelve children-Jeane, Peter, Samuel, John, Mary, Elizabeth, James, Mary Aun, Jesse, Robert. Anna and Williant.


(IV) Samuel Christie, third child and second son of Deacon Jesse and Mary (Gregg) Christie, was born in New Boston, New Hampshire, Febru- ary 20, 1764, and died in Antrim. New Hampshire, October 25, 1818. The early years of his life were spent with his parents, and when twenty-four years old he went to Antrim and lived a short time with his uncle, Samuel Gregg. Soon afterward he pur- chased a considerable tract of land at the old Center of the town and built a small, low house, and in the latter part of the same year married and went to live in his new home. In the course of a few more years he erected a tavern and was its pro- prietor for a long time. It stood about forty rods north of the cemetery and on the opposite side of the highway, and was one of the most noted places of entertainment in all the region for years.


In those days Samuel Christie was one of the foremost men of the town, known to almost every man in the county and knowing them all. On training days the militia gathered about the tavern stand, and in the winter the dancing-room in the house was very frequently called into good use. Here he passed the years of his life. respected by all men and a useful man in the community. He married twice. His first wife, whom he married in 1788, was Zibiah Warren, of New Boston, born in 1771, daughter and third child of Josiah and Jane ( Livingston) Warren, and died in 1813, having borne her husband eight children. His second wife was Elizabeth Campbell, of New Boston, who survived him and after his death returned to her former home. Children of Samuel and Zibiah ( Warren) Christie were: Daniel M., Josiah W., Mary, Jane W., Jesse, Sally W., Hiram and Ira. ( Mention of Ira and descendants appears in this article.)


(V) Josiah Warren Christie was born Novem- ber 6, 1792, in Antrim, and during the period of his active life was one of the most substantial men of that town. He was not active in the sense of being conspicuous in political affairs, although he was not without influence in that direction, but as a straightforward business man, capable of a great amount of work and possessed of excellent judg- ment. In the open field of business endeavor he accumulated a large property. and among his fel- low townsmen he exercised a healthful and helpful influence. not at all for his own advantage, but for the good of the town and its people. Ile lived to attain almost the allotted span of three score and ten years, and during his active career his oc- cupation was that of carpenter and builder, besides which he carried on farming and engaged in vari- ous other enterprises. For several years he lived in the locality known as the hill, but afterward settled in the east part of the town. Mr. Christie was married twice. His first wife, whom he mar- rird March 16, 1824, was Fanny Boyd, born in An- trim, July 15. 1796, and died in childbirth in the latter part of the year 1824, leaving twin infants. Fanny Boyd was a daughter of James and Fanny ( Baldwin) Boyd and granddaughter of Captain William and Alice (Hunter) Boyd. Captain Boyd was an early settler in Londonderry. New Hamp- shire, and a descendant of the ancient family of Boyds who descended from "a younger son of the

illustrious lord high steward of Scotland. For his second wife Mr. Christie married, May 11, 1830, Mary Bell, daughter and eldest child of John and Margaret (Brown) Bell and granddaughter of Jo- seph and Mary (Houston) Bell of Bedford, New Hampshire. Her father, John Bell, was born in 1779 and moved to Antrim in 1799. He lived in that town sixty-four years and was licensed as an innkeeper in 1802. For forty years he was an elder of the Presbyterian Church. He died Oc- tober 5, 1864. His wife died January 14, 1860. By each of his two wives Josiah W. Christie had two children: Francis B. and Franklin W., twins, born October 10, 1824; Morris, a physician in active practice for more than forty-five years; and Mary, born April 7, 1834, married Thomas Bradford and settled in Francestown, New Hampshire.


(VI) Morris Christie, M. D., of Antrim, elder of the children of Josiah W. and Mary ( Bell) Christie, was born in Antrim, August 29, 1832, and received his elementary education in the common schools and his literary education in the academies at Francestown, Washington and Hopkinton, New Hampshire. Having determined to enter the medi- cal profession he began a course of study with Dr. Thomas Sanborn, of Newport, New Hampshire, and after having grounded himself in elementary medi- cine he matriculated at Dartmouth Medical College at the opening of the session of 1850-57. and at its close resumed his studies with his former pre- ceptor. In the fall of 1857 he entered the medical department of the University of New York ( now New York University), completed the course of that institution and graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1859. He also served an interneship of one year in the New York Charity Hospital, on Blackwell's Island. In the meantime he had estab- lished himself in practice at Newport, New Hamp- shire, but in 1860 located permanently in his native town of Antrim. For almost half a century Dr. Christie has been a familiar figure in professional circles in Hillsborough county, and there are very few practitioners of medicine in the state whose acquaintance is more general than his; in his own town he is known to almost every family within its limits and his practice in years past has frequently called him into adjoining towns and occasionally to more distant parts of the state. He always has enjoyed an extensive practice, and his efforts in professional life have been rewarded with most gratifiying success. He is a member of the Ameri- can Medical Association, trustee of the New Hamp- shire State Hospital, and member of various local organizations of professional and social character. In Antrim he has served as superintendent of schools, member of the school board and of the board of water commissioners and trustee of the town library. For many years both he and his wife have been members of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Christie married, July 22. 1863. Susan S. Hill, of Johnson, Vermont, daughter of George W. and Sabrina ( Woodbury ) Hill. Sabrina Woodbury. Mrs. Christie's mother, was born in the town of Antrim, February 4. 1804, and died May 8, 1856. She was a woman of education and refinement, and when young was known as "the best-educated girl in town." She was the second of ten children of Mark and Alice (Boyd) Woodbury, granddaughter of Peter and Elizabeth (Dodge-Rea) Woodbury, great-granddaughter of Josiah and Hannah ( Per- kins) Woodbury of Beverly, Massachusetts, and a descendant of the seventh generation of John Woodbury, who came to America in 1624 (see


Woodbury, IV). Dr. and Mrs. Christie have had one son, George Woodbury Christie, born August 5, 1868, and died December 12, 1885.


(V) Ira, eighth and youngest child of Samuel and Zibiah ( Warren) Christie, was born in An- trim, New Hampshire, September 8, 1807, and died in Dover, New Hampshire, August 10, 1869. 11c went from Antrim to Dover when a young inan and for several years was engaged in mercantile pursuits. Later on he was made principal book- keeper for the Sawyer Woolen Mills Company, and was prominently connected with the business man- agement of that concern as long as he lived. Hle was a capable man, an excellent accountant, and was much respected in the town where the greater part of his life was spent. On July 4. 1832. Mr. Christie married Ann Collier, who was born in England, in 1807, and died in Dover, in 1809, a daughter of Thomas Collier, of Derbyshire, Eng- land. Their children were: Thomas C., a mer- chant of Dover, born September 9. 1833, died Sep- tember 27, 1903; Lydia Ann, born in Dover May 3, 1836, died August 15, 1842; Edward MI., a ma- chinist and locomotive engineer. born in Dover April 16, 1838, died March 2, 1901; James Ira, born in Dover May 9, 1842, died April 6. 1880; Frank A., a contractor and business man now living in Dover; and Mary Ann, born in Dover, December 16, 1846, died September 28, 1847.


(VI) James Ira, son of fra and Ann ( Collier) Christie, was a well and favorably known national character. In 1861 he was taken to Washington, D. C., by Senator John P. Hale, who had him ap- pointed page in the senate. He was so bright, will- ing, apt and affable that he won the friendship of the leading members of each successive senate. From a page he was rapidly advanced, and served the senate in semi-official capacity until his death in Washington. April 6, 1889. No man in Wash- ington had a wider acquaintance or more personal friends throughout the departments, from Lincoln's first administration until President Harrison's, at whose inauguration he assisted, and where he con- tracted the illness that caused his death.


The Il'ashington Critic, of April 6, 1889. said of him: "Probably no man ever connected with the senate in another than a senatorial capacity was better known throughout the country than James Christie. For years he accompanied every senatorial investigation committee that has traveled through the country. He acted as sergeant-at-arms to every special committee appointed. and in this ca- pacity he expended probably in the neighborhood of a million dollars of public money. He never gave a dollar bond, nor was there ever a cent of the money he handled missing. During the war he was the confidential agent of every senator in con- gress, and ever since the senate, both officially and individually, reposed unbounded confidence in him. With traveling about the country in charge of the various senatorial committees Mr. Christie met many people and he made friends everywhere. Though Mr. Christie was placed on the rolls of the senate as a messanger, he soon after his appoint- ment began to discharge the duties of assistant doorkeeper, and some ten or twelve year- ago the office of acting assistant doorkeeper was created expressly for him, and he always held the position. During the war, though he was but a young' man, he was the custodian of many important senatorial secrets, and he never betrayed his trust. Personally, he was a handsome man."

est son of fra and Ain (Collier) Christie, was born in Dover, New Hampshire, September 10, 1844, and after receiving a good education in the common schools began working as clerk in a grocery store, where he continued several years. He then began contract work on steam and street railway construction, and as his first ventures were fairly successful he enlarged the scope of his oper- ations and took heavier contracts in various parts of the New England states, and eventually became an extensive contractor in that region. He had a part in building the Union street railway from Do- ver to Somersworth, New Hampshire, and was its general manager for several years after the line was put in operation. He is a Republican.


On February 27, 1900, Mr. Christie married Annie Mehitabel Wiggin of Wakefield, New Hamp- shire, daughter of George Henry and Charlotte R. (Nason) Wiggin. Mr. and Mrs. Christie have one daughter, Helen Collier Christie, born in Dover, March 14, 1906.
