He married, November 24, 1870, Lucy M. Hoyt, who was born in Weare, December 28, 1851, daugh- ter of Amos and Harriett C. (Randall) Hoyt, resid- ing in Pembroke since 1867. (See Hoyt). They have three children: Frank E., born June 9, 1880, who married Millie M. Ladd, and resides in Newbury- port, Massachusetts. Edith, August, 1882; and Jeness C., June 14, 1894.
McDONALD Rev. William McDonald, the pio- neer Catholic priest of Manchester, who laid the foundation of the present prosperity of Catholicity in Manchester, was born in county Leitrim, Ireland, in June, 1813. He came to America when young, and in 1836 began his studies at Laval University, Quebec, taking the academic and theological courses. He was ordained in 1843, and assigned as assistant priest at Saint John's, New Brunswick, having charge subsequently of parishes at Eastport and Calais, Maine.
In 1847 he went to Boston, and in 1848 was as- signed to Manchester, New Hampshire, which then contained about five hundred Catholics. Within a year he began the erection of the present Saint Au's Church, in Manchester, and from that time until his death, there was scarcely a year that he did not inaugurate some improvement of lasting benefit to the church. He was a man of remarkable foresight and business ability, and almost all the valuable real estate now owned by the Catholics of Manchester was purchased by him. In 1855 he built the beautiful Mount Saint Mary's; in 1857 brought the Sisters of Mercy to Manchester, and established parochial schools: in 1869 he bought the present site of St. Joseph's Cathedral, established a new parish, and built Saint Joseph's Church; in 1870 he established Saint Patrick's orphanage for girls, and a little later founded the Old Ladies' Ilome. As a result of his zeal and untiring efforts, he saw his little parish of Saint Ann's increase until it had more communicants and maintained more charitable in- stitutions than all the other churches of the city combined. He died August 26, 1885, aged seventy- two years. The day of his funeral was one of public mourning ; mills were closed, and business generally suspended. lle is buried in the churchyard of Saint Ann's Church, and over his grave is erected a little mortuary chapel.
The Very Reverend John E. Barry, V.
BARRY A., was born in Eastport, Maine, Au- gust, 1836. Ilis preliminary studies. were made at the Academy of Saint John, New

Brunswick, Holy Cross College, Worcester, Massa- chusetts, and the College of Saint Sulpice, Montreal ; and his theological studies at Grand Seminary, Montreal, where his zeal and piety always marked him for ecclesiastical preferment. His ordination to the priesthood was performed by Bishop Bacon, in the cathedral in Portland, Maine, June 29, 1864. He was first appointed rector of Portland Cathedral, whence after a few years he went to Concord, New Hampshire, where he remained until the day of his death, November 14, 1900.
He built during his pastorate, a church, a rectory, a school house, purchased a beautiful cemetery, and built a convent for the sisters. In ecclesiastical honors no man in New Hampshire ranked higher or bore them more modestly. After the death of Bishop Bacon, November 5, 1874, Father Barry was appointed administrator of the diocese of Portland, including at that time Maine and New Hampshire. After the consecration of Bishop Healy he was ap- pointed vicar general, and on the separation of the diocese he continued to fill that high office for the new see of Manchester. Father Barry's character was spotless. He was a model priest, a man of great zeal and piety. He was kind, prudent, eir- cumspeet, most sympathetic, and of most exceptional charity. His mortal remains rest in the beautiful Calvary cemetery of Concord, marked by a mortu- ary chapel, built by the people of Concord.
MORRILL An authority has said that the de- seendants of the ancient trainer (Abraham Morrill) in every genera- tion have been noted for their enterprisc. whether in iron, fish, eloth, nails, coasting vessels, farming or trade. Ezekiel was the pioneer of Canterbury, New Hampshire, and in 1773 there were living in that town Ezekiel, Jr., Isaac, Marston and Samuel Mor- rill. Ezekiel, Sargent, David and Laban signed the association test in 1770. The family showed an ardent patriotism, and among the Revolutionary sol- diers who went from Canterbury were Abraham, Ensign Ezekiel, Lieutenant Laban (captain, 1780), and Sargeant Morriell.
(I) Abraham Morrill, the earliest ancestor in America of many descendants scattered throughout the United States, came from England with his brother Isaac in the ship "Lion," arriving in Massa- chusetts Bay, September 16, 1632. He settled first in Cambridge where he was a member of the An- cient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1638. He moved with the original proprietors to Salis- bury, Massachusetts, where in 1650 only four men were taxed more than himself. He married, June IO, 1645, Sarah, daughter of Robert Clement, of Haverhill. He died June 20, 1662, at Roxbury, while on a visit to his brother Isaac, and his widow subsequently married Thomas Mudgett. The chil- dren of Abraham and Sarah (Clement) Morrill were: Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Richard, Lydia and Hepzibah. (Jacob and descend- ants receive further mention in this article).
(II) Isaac, eldest child of Abraham and Saralı (Clement) Morrill, was born July 10, 1646, in Salisbury, and was in his sixteenth year when his father died. William Osgood was chosen his guar- dian in April, 1666, probably in order to settle his father's estate. He was married November 14, 1670, to Phebe Gill, and both were members of the Salisbury Church in 1687, and signed the Brad- bury petition in 1692. Mr. Morrill was deputized to conduct soldiers to Wells, Maine, in 1696, and
the Salisbury records mention Isaac Morrill's gar- rison in 1702. He died October 17, 1713, and his wife May 6, 1714. They had children named : Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, Jacob, John, Rachel (died eleven days old), Daniel, Jemima, Mary and Rachel. (Mention of Isaac and Jacob and descendants ap- pears in this article).
(III) Abraham (2), eldest child of Isaac and Phebe (Gill) Morrill, was born August 22, 1071, in Salisbury, and was probably a blacksmith. He was admitted to the Salisbury Church in 1716, at the age of forty-five years. He was married Jan- uary 2, 1696, in Salisbury, to Elizabeth, daughter of William (2) Sargent. (See Sargent). She was baptized November 5, 1710, as an adult, and died April 21, 1731, surviving her husband six days, he having died April 15, same year. His will was made in the previous December, and was proven on the tenth of the succeeding May. Their children were: Judith, Mary, Reuben, Phoebe, Abraham, Elizabeth and Jemima.
(IV) Abraham (3), second son and 'fifth child of Abraham (2) and Elizabeth (Sargent ) Morrill, was born November 25. 1705, in Salisbury, and re- sided in the west parish of that town. He and his wife were received in the Second Salisbury Church, March, 1728. He was married (intention published November 24, 1727, in the Salisbury Church), to Anna Clough, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Clough, of Salisbury. In the record of her death in the Salisbury Church, which occurred February, 1774, the name is given as Johanna. Abraham Mor- rill was called "Junior" from 1731 to 1757, and prob- ably died December 16, 1780. His first child and son, unnamed, died in infancy. The others were: Samuel, Abraham (died young), Robie, Abraham (died young), Elizabeth, Abel and Abraham. ( Abel and descendants are mentioned at length in this article).
(V) Robie, fourth son and child of Abraham (3) and Anna (Clough) Morrill, was born August 28, 1734, in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and died September 18, 1813, in Boscawen, New Hampshire. He was graduated at Harvard College in 1755, and was ordained the first minister of Boscawen, New Hampshire, December 27, 1761. He continued as pastor about five years and then, owing to some dis- affection, he resigned his pastorate and never again engaged in preaching. He became a teacher and taught many years during the closing decades of the eighteenth century. He was a useful citizen and a thorough gentleman, very punctilious in his dress, wearing until the close of his life his black silk stockings, silver shoe and knee buckles and wig. He was small of stature, but was a strict discipli- narian and thorough master in school. Mr. Morrill was eccentric and sometimes called erratic in his ways. He was possessed of a rich vein of humor and made an example of those who fell by the way- side. Tradition preserves many stories of his wit and sarcasm which may or may not be true. It is said on one occasion he selected as the text for a sermon the pronoun, "it." On another occasion he astounded his congregation by exclaiming "There goes a mouse !" His sermons were long drawn out and it is not strange that members of the congregation fell asleep. On one occasion his wife was found in this condition, and her husband paused in his sermon and addressed one of his hicarers, saying "Will you please wake that man who snores so loud, for I fear that he will wake my wife." He built a house now standing near the site

of the ancient fort, the oldest frame house in the town. In the formative period, preceding and dur- ing the Revolution, when society and political in- stitutions were undergoing a change he exercised a powerful influence and was ever on the right side. He was a man of sterling character and his death was universally mourned by his fellow citi-
zens. He married Elizabeth Hobson, and their children were: Samuel, Elizabeth, Anna, Joseph llobson, Jeremiah, Sally and Jane.
(V1) Samuel, eldest child of Rev. Robie and Elizabeth ( Hobson) Morrill, was born January 5, 1701, in Salisbury, Massachusetts. He lived all his life in Boscawen, where he died over seventy years of age, and was a farmer by occupation. He was married April 28, 1785, to Sarah Atkinson, who was born January 8, 1763, and died February 27. 1844. She was the daughter of Nathaniel (2) Atkinson (see Atkinson, IV). Mr. Morrill was, like his father, a thoroughly upright man and a friend of human liberty. He was a Whig in politics, and was identified . with the Congregational Church. His children were: Betsey, Eunice, Nathaniel, Judith, Benjamin and Anna Hobson. The first daughter hecame the wife of James Chadwick and the third of Joseph Chadwick, of Boscawen. The second daughter died unmarried, at the age of forty years. The youngest daughter married Dr. Merrill, of Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
( Vll) Nathaniel, elder son and third child of Samuel and Sarah (Atkinson) Morrill, was born September 8, 1789, in Boscawen, and grew up on a farm there, receiving a common school education, and soon after attaining manhood, upon his mar- riage, he settled in Canterbury, where he continued to reside. He did not live to a great age, his death being caused by weakness of the heart, at the age of forty-seven years, in 1837. He was long identi- fied with the Congregational Church, in which he was for many years a chorister. He did not desire any official station in civil affairs, but was firmly established in his political principles, being like his father, a Whig. He married Sally Smith Morrill, daughter of Reuben and Miriam ( Smith) Morrill, of Canterbury. (See Reuben, VI). She survived him twenty year or more and died at the age of seventy-six years. Their children were : Mary
Emily, Catherine, Reuben, Samuel Atkinson, Charles Franklin. Enoch and Elizabeth C. The eldest child became the wife of Abraham Fitts, and resided at Manchester, New Hampshire, and Worchester, Mas- sachusetts, dying at the latter place. The second and third daughters died in childhood. The eldest son resided at East Concord and died there. Enoch was an AAdvent preacher and resides in Hampton, New Hampshire. The other sons resided in Canter- bury, where one of them is still living.
(VIII ) Samuel Atkinson, second son and fourth child of Nathaniel and Sally Smith (Morrill) Mor- rill, was born May 26, 1827, in Canterbury, and has resided all his life in that town. With the excep- tion of one term at Boscawen Academy and one term at the Sanborn Seminary, his education was supplied by the public schools of his native town. In young manhood he taught five terms of school in as many towns, namely: Canterbury, Northfield, Sanbornton, Boscawen and London. He learned the carpenter's trade and has given his time almost exclusively to work in that line through a long and very industrious life. It is said that he has done more carpenter work than any other individual in the town, and in the meantime has carried on a
farm of one hundred acres, having added forty acres to the original homestead possessed by his father. Many of the large barns and other farm buildings of Canterbury were erected by him, and it was not until 1898 that he retired from active labor in this line. He is still hale and vigorous, and it is no uncommon sight in winter to see him driving three pairs of steers and oxen, with a horse to lead, in transporting wood to Pennacook and other points. He takes just pride in his oxen, which he has raised and trained, and he can sit upon his load and guide the team, including the lead horse, without any reins, up hill and down. Mr. Morrill is an active member of the Congregational Church and a very regular attendant. He was the first president and continued for many years active in the work of the Young Men's Christian Association of Canter- bury. He is a member of the Merrimack River Grange, No. 4, of which he was seven years treas- urer. He served several years as assessor of the Congregational Society, and also as supervisor of the check list. He is an ardent Republican, and be- longs to the group which has ever stood for human liberty and progress in every department of govern- ment, and of life. Mr. Morrill was married, April 10, 1852, to Mary Elizabeth Garland, of South Ber- wick, Maine. She was born there in 1832, daughter of Nathaniel and Abigail Garland. Having no chil- dren of their own, Mr. and Mrs. Morrill adopted a son, George A. Morrill, who now resides in Canter- bury. He married Elizabeth Ordway and has five children, namely : Harry, Ida, Leon, Eugene and Perly.
(V) Abel, sixth son and third child of Abraham (3) and Anna (Clough) Morrill, was born Decem- ber 15, 1737, in Salisbury, and resided in the west parishi. He was received in the Second Church, January 4, 1756, in his nineteenth year, and died June 18, 1797. His will made four years previously mentions his wife, Sarah, and children : Sarah, Sam- uel, Molly and Eunice.
(V1) . Samuel, only son and second child of Abel and Sarah Morrill, was born December 21, 1765, and baptized eight days later. He and his wife, Nancy, were the parents of the following children : William (died young), Joseph, Abel, Nancy, Jona- than and Samuel.
(\'11) Joseph, second son and third child of Samuel and Nancy Morrill, was born December 26, 1795. He married Parmelia Martin, and in 1818 settled in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, where most of his children were born.
(VIII) George Washington, son of Joseph and Parmelia (Martin) Morrill, was born August 13, 1823, in Hopkinton. With the exception of three years in Dixon, Illinois, he spent his life in Hopkin- ton, his home being in Contoocook village. He was a woolen manufacturer, and spent thirty years in the business. During the war of the Rebellion he manufactured woolen at Contoocook, in company with William E. Livingston, of Lowell, Massachu- setts. He was subsequently engaged in the manu- facture of mackerel kits at Contoocook, and still later in the manufacture of lumber. He married June 13, 1846, Laura Ann Bacon, daughter of John and Sylvia ( Patterson) Bacon, of Hopkinton. They had two children : Frank Isaac and Ilarrict Maria.
(IX) Frank Isaac, only son of George W. and Laura Ann (Bacon) Morrill, was born in Hopkin- ton. November 30, 1848. He was educated at the New Hampshire Institute, and at Boston (Massa- chusetts) University. He resided in Contoocook

until 1871, then spent three years in Dixon, Illinois, and subsequently lived in Newton, Massachusetts, and carried on business in Boston. Since 1890 he has resided in Contoocook, where he has been en- gaged in the manufacture of mackerel kits, and also lumber. He received the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Boston University in 1873, and in 1874 was admitted to the Suffolk county bar. In 1880 he was chairman of the ward and city com- inittee of Newton. He served six years as super- visor of Hopkinton, being chosen to that office in 1882-84-86. He has been a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston, and of the Claf- lin Guards of Newton. He is a Mason. He mar- ried, August 1, 1874, Hattie Farnum Stevens, daughter of Grove S. and Lydia Johnson (Wilson) Stevens, of Haverhill, Massachusetts. They have one child, Laura Sylvia.
(III) Deacon Isaac (2), second son and child of Isaac (I) and Phebe (Gill) Morrill, born in Salisbury, July 24, 1673, died June 22, 1737. He was a man of influence in his town, was a representative in the general court eight years, 1729-1737, and was a consistent member of the Second Salisbury Church from November, 1718. He married, May 30, 1696. Abigail Brown, born February 1, 1675, living in 1721, daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah (Fellows) Brown. She was admitted to Salisbury Church, August 6, 1699, and received into the Second Salis- bury Church, 1719. Their children were: Benjamin, Abigail, Nathaniel, Joseph, Paul, Micajah, Tamson, Phebe and Isaac.
(IV) Benjamin, eldest child of Isaac (2) and Abigail (Brown) Morrill, was born in Salisbury, January 27, 1697, and baptized March 9, 1701. He resided in Salisbury, West Parish, where he was living in 1737. A Benjamin Morrill was received into the Second Church of Salisbury, March 7, 1742. He married, January 21, 1720, in Salisbury, Ruth Allen, born March 5, 1701, baptized April 6, 1701, daughter of Stillson and Margaret Allen, and they had twelve children: Margaret, died young; Na- thaniel, Margaret, Abigail, died young; Ruth. Mica- jah, a son unnamed, Benjamin, Isaac, Abigail, Stil- son and Dorothy.
(V) Ruth, fourth daughter and fifth child of Benjamin and Ruth (Allen) Morrill, was born in Salisbury, West Parish, August 27, 1727, and mar- ried, January 5, 1748, Jabez Tucker. (See Tucker, IV).
(IV) Paul, fourth son and child of Isaac and Abigail (Brown) Morrill, was born in Salisbury, May 5. 1706. He settled first at South Hampton, New Hampshire, whence he removed to Chichester or Loudon, and he probably signed the Association Test in the last named place in 1776. He married Martha Worden, June 26, 1740, and his children were: Samuel, Isaac, Ephraim, Abigail, Paul, Dor- othy. Ezekiel, James, Micajah, John and Nathaniel. (V) Ephraim, second son and child of Paul and Martha (Worden) Morrill, was born in South Hampton, September 4, 1745. As a vigorous and persevering young man he went to Henniker in 1765 as a pioneer, and proceeded with energy to establish a home in what was at that time a sparsely settled section. Among the few farms then in process of development in Henniker, Ephraim Morrill's was the most westerly one, and between those venture- some pioneers there existed a mutual solicitude for the general welfare and safety of each other, a kind of unwritten law prompted by sympathy, which they all respected and obeyed. It was customary among them to discharge a gun at certain inter-
vals, and if they heard a similar salute they knew that at least their nearest neighbor was safe. This primitive yet effective means of communicating with his neighbors was practiced by Ephraim Mor- rill during the period in which he was compelling the stubborn wilderness to acknowledge the suprem- acy of human perseverance. Having concluded the preliminary work of laying out his farm, which included besides the clearing of a tract for tillage purposes, the erection of a comfortable log-house. he returned to South Hampton in the spring of 1773, and on May 8, of that year, was married to Susannah Gates of that town, who was born April 15, 1748. Both bride and groom made the journey to their new home on the same horse. She proved an excellent woman and a most valuable helpmate. Ephraim Morrill was one of the most able men in Henniker during the days of its infancy, honest, generous and kindhearted, though blunt, and was frequently elected to public office. Both he and his wife possessed deep religious convictions, and fully merited the esteem which was accorded them by their neighbors. He died August 2, 1841, surviving his wife, whose death occurred March 27, 1832. As part of his funeral obsequies was read, at his own request, the ninth verse of the second chapter of Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians: "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." His children were: Elisha, Paul (who died young), Susanna, Ephraim, Mary, Martha, John M. and another Paul. The original family homestead in Henniker is now, or was recently, owned by Har- rison Morrill. a grandson of the pioneer.
(VI) Paul, youngest son and child of Ephraim and Susannah (Gates) Morrill, was born in Hen- niker, November 14. 1789. He served as a soldier in the War of 1812-15, and in 1824 he established himself in the meat business at Nashua. On April 7. 1816, he married Lovilla Walton, who was born in Chesterfield. December 28, 1794. He died Sep- tember 15, 1865, and his wife died in 1834. They were the parents of ten children, five of whom lived to maturity, namely: Charles, born April 24, 1818; David Lawrence, who will be again referred to; Mary, March 20, 1822; Louisa, January 24, 1833; and Helen, December 19, 1834. Charles Morrill was for a number of years a journalist in New York City.
(VII) David Lawrence, son of Paul and Lovilla (Walton) Morrill, was born in Henniker, March 15, 1820. He grew to manhood in Nashua, and was educated in the public schools. In 1849 he went to California by the way of Cape Horn, and after spending three years in the gold fields returned to the Granite State. For many years he was a promi- nent dealer in groceries and provisions in Nashua, and occupied a conspicuous as well as an honorable position among the business men of that city. He was one of the most active members of the Metho- dist Church, and in addition to contributing liber- ally toward its support he served it in an official capacity and devoted much time to the propagation of religious work. He died August 5, 1880. He married Mary Jane Dimick, who was born in Lyme, New Hampshire, April 27, 1834, daughter of John and Lydia (Turner) Dimick. She became the mother of four children, namely : Charles W., Elmer D. (who died young), Clara L., and May M., who for many years has been prominently connected with the schools of Nashua as teacher.
(VIII) Charles Wesley, eldest son of David L.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
and Mary J. (Dimick) Morrill, was born in Nashua, January 5, 1858. His studies in the public schools were supplemented with a commercial course at Bryant and Stratton's Business College, Boston, and being thus well equipped for business life he turned his attention to mercantile pursuits. During the past twenty-five years he has spent most of the time as a traveling salesman, first for a Nashua concern, later for a Boston house and for the last two years has traveled for a New York firm. In politics Mr. Morrill is a Republican and is active in civic affairs, having served in both branches of the municipal government, as representative to the legislature in 1891-92, and as park commissioner from 1895 to 1904, and again appointed in 1907. He is a Master Mason and a member of Ancient York Lodge, Na- shua. In his religious belief he is an Episcopalian, and is a prominent member and vestryman of the Church of the Good Shepherd.
On June 12, 1883, Mr. Morrill was united in marriage with Harriet Flint Reed, daughter of Henry Harrison and Mary Bass (Joy) Reed, of Nashua, the former of whom was a well known merchant of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Morrill have four children, namely: Marion Dimick, born Oc- tober 26, 1890; Charles Wesley, August 26, 1892; Mildred Joy, November 8, 1893; and Frederick Reed, November 9, 1898.
(III) Jacob, tlurd son and fourth child of Isaac and Phebe (Gill) Morrill, was born May 25, 1677. in Salisbury, where his abode continued through life. He was evidently a careful business man, as his will was made about three years before his death: it was executed December 1, 1750, and proved March 25, 1754. He was married (first), December 4, 1701, to Elizabeth Stevens, who was born February 14. 1678, in Salisbury, daughter of John (2) and Joanna (Thorn) Stevens. She died after June 22, 1722, and before January 5. 1723, on which date he was married to Elizabeth Dalton, who survived him. His children, all born of the first wife, were: Jonathan, Joanna, Abraham, Sam- uel, Joanna, Ruth, Jacob, Jeremiah, Elizabeth. Isaac, Judith and Sarah. The first Joanna was a twin of Jonathan and died when ten days old, the other dying the next day.
