Mr. Boucher married Rose Shields, daughter of John Shields, a native of Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Boucher have three sons: Herbert E., James Neil and Clement W.
(I) Jolın Ellison is said to have ELLISON been a resident of Chester, Vermont, but it appears difficult to obtain fur- ther data concerning him. The public records of Vermont are conspicuous by their absence, and family records are seldom obtainable. The de- scendants of this line can supply no clues.
(Il) John (2) Ellison lived in Chester and
was probably born there. It is stated that this branch of the Ellison family were among the carli- est settlers in the town. John (2) Ellison removed later in life to Springfield, Vermont, where he died (no dates to this point). He married, March 28, 1830, Betsey Earle, daughter of Ashbel and .Azube (Lord) Earle. She was born March 22, 1809, ill Chester, and was descended from the Earles who came from Exeter, England, in 1634, and settled in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in which state the family lived for many generations. They were large land holders and were distinguished in Colonial history.
(III) Frederick G., son of John (2) and Betsey (Earle) Ellison, was born February 11, 1842, in Chester, Vermont. He served in the war of the rebellion in the Forty-fourth Regiment Massachu- setts Volunteers. In 1875 he removed to Spring- field, Vermont, and was engaged for over four years in the shoddy business, which he sold out in ISSo and bought a staging business, running one of the best equipped lines in the state for many years. Mr. Ellison has been honored with various offices by his town and for a long term has been justice of the peace. He married, April 3, 1864, Helen \1., daughter of Daniel and Harriet (Chandler) Hessel- ton (see Hesselton). She died September 20. 1877. lle married (second), February 6, 1884, Carrie Carr, daughter of Martin W. and Margaret ( Harre) Carr of St. Johnsbury. The children by the first marriage were Nellie 31., Edna M., Alice B., Bertie. B., Martin A. and Fred M.
(IV) Nellie M., eldest daughter of Frederick G. and Harriet (Chandler) Hesselton, was born in Chester, Vermont, March 20, 1865. She wa- edu- cated in the Springfield (Vermont) schools and at the Conservatory of Music in Boston. She mar- ried Fred M. Spaulding. (See Spaulding ).
ASHMAN Edward Ashman, the founder of this particular branch of the family of that surname on this side of the .At- lantic, was born in England, March II, 1827. In 1843 he left Dover in Kent county and sailed for America from Liverpool and landed in Quebec, Lower Canada, after a voyage of sixty-six days. His occupation was that of farmer and he followed it until 1851, and then went to the gold fields of California in quest of a fortune. He was away about ten and a half months and on his return brought back one thousand and fifty dollars in gold ; he came east for his family, intending to return with them and live in the regions which had produced such good results in so short a time. In making the journey across the isthmus he contracted the Panama fever and died from the effects of it on September 1, 1852.
On the voyage from Liverpool to Quebec Ed- ward Ashman met Sarah Folly and their acquaint- ance ripened into mutual affection which resulted in marriage on September 8, 1844, at Barnston, a small town in Canada near the Vermont state line. Sarah was born in England, March 5, 1821, and died February 14, 1901. After the death of her husband she kept the family together until the future of her children was provided for and then remarried, and had children by her second husband. Edward and Saralı ( Folly) Ashman had three chil- dren : Edward, born June 24. 1845, married, July 7, 1867, Nancy Kennerson, and lives in Canada on the Vermont line. Children: John W., Lydia and Elizabeth E. Ashman. Harry S., born September 13, 1847, married (first), December 20, 1870, Mary

J. Robinson, who died December 20, 1897; mar- ried (second), July 5. 1900, Jennie Logan; one child, Saralı Irene Ashman, born November 16, 1901. Mr. Aslıman lives in Cambridge, Massachu- setts. John William, born October 14. 1849, lives in Laconia, New Hampshire.
John William Ashman was born in the town of Barnston, Canada, and was three years old when his father died. After that he went to live with Enoch F. Osgood at Walden, Caledonia county, Vermont, and there spent his young life on a farm. His early education was acquired in common schools and Phillip's Academy at Danville, Vermont. In 1871, soon after leaving school, he came to this state and took up his residence in Laconia, where he found employment with Horace Whitcher, agent of the American Express Company. He remained there until the latter part of 1875 and then began the study of law in the office of Erastus P. Jewell. In 1880 he was admitted to practice in the courts of this state, and for the next five years was an active member of the Belknap county bar. In 1885 he was elected treasurer of the Belknap County Savings Bank and the chief managing officer of that institution until 1897. when it went into liquidation ; and since 1901 he has given considerable time in as- sisting the receiver of the bank in winding up its affairs.
During his more than thirty-five years' resi- dence in Laconia, Mr. Ashman has been somewhat actively identified with the business and political history of that town and subsequent city and also with the management of several of its leading insti- tutions. In 1879 he was appointed librarian of the public library and filled that position five years. He has been a trustee and treasurer of the library for many years. In 18so he was elected town clerk and served six years. From 1881 to 1883 he was a member of the board of education, and for a time served as clerk of the school district. In March, 1890, he was moderator of the town meeting. Mr. Ashman served three terms as register of probate of Belknap county, and when the city goverment was inaugurated was a member of the first city council from ward five. In 1898 he was elected to represent that ward in the state legislature, and al- though at the time that ward was regarded as a Republican stronghold he was elected by a com- fortable majority. He is a member and treasurer of the Laconia Hospital Association, the Laconia Land and Improvement Company and the First Unitarian Church; a former member and ex-treas- urer of Company K, New Hampshire National Guard, and a charter member of Winnesquam Colony, No. 14, United Order of Pilgrim Fathers.

GILKEY The earliest record of the Gilkeys, who came originally from Scotland, dates back only to the beginning of the eighteenth century and mentions them being among the fifty who were residing in Leicester, Massachusetts, prior to 1738. William Gilkey, born il1 Leicester, 1730, and his wife Elizabeth had a son William who was born there in 1758, and about the year 1770 they moved to Chester, Vermont, where William (2) Gilkey married Hannah Smith, March 27, 1781.
(1) The first ancestor of the Groveton Gilkeys of whom the writer has any definite knowledge was Sample Gilkey, who went from Plainfield, new Hampshire, to Columbia, this state, in 1825. The maiden name of his wife was Betsey Back, and he reared two sons: William and Merritt, neither of whom are now living.
(11) Merritt, youngest son of. Sample and Betsey (Back) Gilkey, was born in Plainfield, March 10, 1809. He was a farmer, and settling at Cole- brook in 1847 he tilled the soil there for the re- mainder of his life, which terminated in 1863. He was more or less active in public affairs, having served as a member of the Colebrook board of selectmen, and in various other ways he made him- self useful to the town. lle married Lucy Blodgett, born May 20, 1809, daughter of Marsena Blodgett, of Norwich (now Huntington), Massachusetts. She became the mother of six children, namely : Wil- liam F., now a resident of Dayton, Oregon; Henry B., who will be again referred to; Marsena B., Eliza, died at the age of three years; Jane l'., now the widow of George Benson, of Florence,
Massachusetts; and Frank, died at the age of eight years. The mother of these children died a nono- genarian, July 18, 1901.
(III) Henry Bradbuy, second son and child of Merritt and Lucy (Blodgett) Gilkey, was born in Columbia, September 10, 1836. Ilis educational opportunities were confined to the district schools of his neighborhood, and after the conclusion of his studies he assisted his father in carrying on the homestead farm. In August, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company H, Thirteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, and rendered meritorious services in defense of the Union during the Civil war, participating in the battles of Frede- ricksburg, Suffolk, Drury's Bluff and Cold Ilarbor. In the last-named engagement, which lasted from May 28 to June 3, 1864, he was severely wounded in the leg, necessitating a long and tedious con- finement in the hospital, from which he was finally released in a disabled condition. He was honorably discharged and mustered out April 11, 1865, and the strong, able-bodied young man, who, some three years previous, had marched away from Colebrook with a firm step, returned there a hopeless cripple. Another occupation less arduous than farming was now necessary, and he accordingly engaged in the liarness business, following it in Colebrook two years, and moving to Groveton he continued it there for over six years. For a period of ten years he was engaged in the drug business at Groveton, and for a number of years afterward was clerk in the Moundnock House at Colebrook. During the entire period from the time of his discharge from the military hospital until 1898 he suffered continu- ously from his wound, and in the latter year he was compelled to have the limb amputated as the only means of relief. In that year he retired from business. continuing only his public official work for the county.
Politically Mr. Gilkey acts with the Republican party. He served as town clerk for ten years, 1871, 1873 and 1883 and again from 1891 to 1899; was county commissioner from 1899 to 1905; and for twenty years has acted as a justice of the peace. He has attained high rank in the Masonic Order, belonging to North Star Lodge, North Star Chap- ter, North Star Commandery, all of Lancaster, and of Edward Raymond Consistory, thirty-second de- gree, of Nashına. He is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and is past noble grand of the local lodge.
In 1857 he married for his first wife Clarissa Ann Severance, daughter of Harrison Severance, and his second wife was before marriage Emily Eames, daughter of Seth Eames, of Groveton. The child of his first union is Annic Z., wife of llenry 1. Bean, of Florence, Massachusetts. Of his second marriage there was one child who is no longer living. Mr. Gilkey has five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He was bercaved by the loss of his wife, her death occurring January 8, 1904, after living together thirty-five years.
This name, which is rather rare, even
HORAN in Ireland, was originally O'h Uathm- harian, which in time became cor- rupted to Hamran, Horan or lleverine. Penelope Horan near the end of the seventeenth century, married into the Dillon family, and was great- great-grandmother of Michael James Robert Dillon, the twelfth and last Earl of Roscommon.
(I) John Horan was born in Queens county. Ireland, near the close of the eighteenth century,

and started for this country with his son in the year ---. John Horan died on the voyage.
(11) Daniel, son of John Horan, was born in Queens county, Ireland, in 1820, and came to this country in early life. On account of his father's death at sea he was left without a natural protector, but Mrs. Hooley adopted the orphan boy and took him to Quebec, where he was educated in the schools of the day. He went into the hotel busi- ness. which became his life vocation, and he is now living (1907) at an advanced age in Quebec. Daniel Horan married Catherine Doyle. ot New- foundland, and they had eight children: Mary, Ellen, William, James, whose sketch follows; John, Ann, Catherine and Daniel.
( Il1) James, second son and fourth child of Daniel and Catherine (Doyle) Horan, was born at Saint Sylvester, Province of Quebec, October I, 1857. He was educated in the common schools of that place, and came to Concord, Vermont, at the age of sixteen. He worked at farming and lumber- ing in Vermont, both at Concord and St. Johns- bury. In 1879 he moved to New Hampshire, and is now a farmer and a surveyor of lumber for Fred Wheeler, of Berlin. He has a farm of one hundred acres, situated in parts of three towns, but the house is in Jefferson. Mr. Horan is a mem- ber of the Royal Arcanum and the Catholic Order of Foresters. He is a Democrat in politics, and belongs to the Roman Catholic Church. He is a bright, intelligent man, and devoted to his home and children.
