November 25, 1857. He attended school in Brad- ford, England, and after the conclusion of his studies he began the activities of life as an operative in a textile mill. He not only familiarized himself with the carding, spinning and weaving of cotton fabrics, but acquired a practical knowledge of the construc- tion and setting up of looms as well. and it was in the capacity of an expert in the latter branch of the cotton manufacturing business that he came to the United States in 1874. It had been his intention to return to England, but being favorably impressed with the country, and finding no difficulty in obtain- ing employment, he decided to remain. Accepting employment at the Pacific Mills, Lawrence, Massa- chusetts, he remained in the service of that
well known corporation for eighteen years, during which time he worked his way for- ward to the position of overseer. and from that city he went to Belfock, Rhode Island. as superin- tendent of a large cotton mill. He was subsequently connected in a responsible capacity with several other textile mills in New England, and in 1896 his services were secured by the Amoskeag Corpora- tion, Manchester, as general overseer of its weav- ing. In politics Mr. Brice is a Republican. He attends the Unitarian Church. He was married, October 17, 1877. to Jessie Bealey, daughter of War- ren Bealey. His children are: Carrie Bertha. James Herbert and Frederick Mansfield.
FRADD The Fradd family. represented in the present family generation by Joseph Richard Fradd, is of English origin, and numbers among its representatives men of busi- ness ability. acumen and foresight, who have made for themselves a name and place in the various walks of life.
(I) Richard Fradd, a native of England. is the earliest ancestor of the family of whom there is any mention. He spent his life in his native land. married and reared a family, among whom was a son, Edwin Fradd.
(II) Edwin, son of Richard Fradd. was born in Cornwall. England. and died about the year 1885. at the age of sixty years.

He then learned the trade of printing, and at the age of twenty years he was made assistant paymaster of the Stark Mills of Manchester, a position which he still holds. The care and accuracy with which even the smallest detail of his work is attended to are eminently satis- factory. He is a member of the Episcopal Church. His courteous manners and readiness to help those less fortunate than himself have endeared him to a large circle of friends. He married ( first). Mary Elizabeth Fradd. born in Manchester, September o. 1857, died April 21, 1800. daughter of Horatio Fradd, and has one child. Walter Richard.
Joseph R. Fradd married (second). Harriet Ann Woosnam, and has two children: John Ernest and Dorothy Helen. She was born in Wales.

gests that an early ancestor of the family had come from France and set- tled in Scotland, whence came the progenitor of the American family.

FREEMAN It is generally helieved by author- ities on nomenclature that the name Freeman, like Frye and Franklin, was suggested by the fact that its original bearer was free, and that he adopted it as a family name in order to designate his position in life. As John the Strong developed into John Strong, so Edmond the Free may have hecome known as Edmond Free- man. The armorial bearings of the various Free- man families of England and Ireland are almost identical, showing that they must have originated from one source. The family now under consider- ation is of English descent.
(I) Edmond (1) Freeman, his wife Elizabeth and four children were passengers in the ship "Abigail," Richard Hackwell. master, which ar- rived in Massachusetts Bay from London in 1635. Besides Edmond and his family, several others of this name came over in the same ship, but whether they were relatives or not cannot now be de- termined. Edmond was probably born in 1590, either in Devonshire or Oxford. He first located in Lynn, Massachusetts, and there is a record of his having presented the colony with twenty cor- seletts, or pieces of plate armor. From Lynn he went to the Plymouth colony, where he was ad- mitted a freeman in 1637, and with nine associates was recognized by the authorities as a proper per- son to organize a new settlement. Accordingly, during the ensuing year. he was largely instrumental in establishing the town of Sandwich, on Cape Cod, which was settled principally by people from Plym- outh, Duxbury and Lynn. In the division of land his share was the largest and he frequently served as an assistant to the governor ; was appointed presid- ing officer of a court of three to hear and determine legal controversies : served as a selectman. and held other town offices. His death occurred in 1682. at the advanced age of ninety-two years, and his will, which he made on June 21, was presented for probate November 2 of that year. There is some reason for believing that the maiden surname of his wife was Bennett, but there is also evidence that it might have been Beauchampe. She died Feb- ruary 14. 1675-76. Their children were: Alice. Ed- mond, Elizabeth, John and Mary, all of whom, ex- cepting the youngest, were born in England.
(II) Edmond (2), second child and eldest son
of Edmond (I) and Elizabeth Freeman, was twelve years old when he came to New England, and he became a prominent resident of Sandwich, serving as deputy to the general court for seven years from 1669. The date of his death does not appear in the records at hand. His first wife, whom he married April 22, 1646, was Rebecca Prince, daughter of Governor Thomas and Patience (Brewster) Free- man, and granddaughter of Elder William Brew- ster, the Mayflower Pilgrim. Edmond was mar- ried the second time. July 18, 1651, to Margaret Perry. He was the father of Rebecca, Margaret, Edmond. Alice, Rachel, Sarah and Deborah, all of whom save Rebecca were of his second union.
(III) Edmond (3), second child and only son of Edmond (2) and Margaret (Perry) Freeman, was born in Sandwich, October 5, 1655. He resided in Sandwich for the greater part of his life, and all of his children were born there, but his last days were spent in that part of Yarmouth which is now North Dennis, and he died May IS, 1720. In 1702 he was associated with John Nye, of Sandwich, in the purchase of one thousand acres of land in that part of Windham. Connecticut, which was after- wards incorporated as the town of Mansfield. The Christian name of his wife was Sarah, and it is supposed that her maiden name was Skeffe, or Skiff. Her death occurred November 12, 1742, at the age of ninety years. Their children were: Ed- mond, Benjamin, Mary. John, Thomas, Joseph, Wil- liam. Sarah and Isaac.
(IV) Edmond (4), eldest son and child of Edmond (3) and Sarah ( Skeffe) Freeman, was born in Sandwich, August 30, 1683. He married Kezia Presbury, who was born in 1688, and became the father of a large family, which he moved to Mans- field, settling upon land purchased by his father. His wife died in Mansfield. April 20. 1764. aged seventy-seven years, and his death occurred there June 1, 1766. They were the parents of fourteen children, namely: Edmond (who died young). Ly- dia. Edmond, Prince. Stephen, Sylvanus. Nathaniel, Kezia, Sarah, Deborah, Skeffe, Thomas, Abigail and Margaret.
(V) Prince, third son and fourth child of Edmond (4) and Kezia (Presbury) Freeman. was born in Sandwich, March 13, 1713. He resided in Connecticut until about 1760, when he came to New Hampshire, but the record at hand does not state what town he settled in, and he died June 25. 1781. He was three times married: first, Decem- her 1, 1739. to Ruth, daughter of Theophilus Hall. of Mansfield, who died May 10, 1740; second, Sep- tember 15, 1712, to Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Stetson. of Mansfield. who died March 10, 1744; and third. December 12. 1745, to Rebecca, daughter of William Johnson, also of Mansfield. His chil- dren, all of whom were of his third union, were: Azariah. Prince. Rebecca William, Enoch, Exper- ience. Elijah, Roger, Elizabeth and Ruth.
(VI) Experience, fifth son and sixth child of Prince and Rebecca (Johnson) Freeman, was born in Mansfield, March 26, 1756. January 17. 1781. he married Jane Upham, and subsequently settled in Norwich, Vermont. His children were: Selden, born January 24, 1782, who was a school teacher in New York; Reuben Woods, settled in Lancaster. and in 1810 moved to Guildhall, Vermont, where he died : Porter G., see forward; Sarah, married Sam- uel White, father of Nathaniel White; Harmony, married John Moore, of Lancaster; Mary, married Amos Crandall. of Lancaster; Anna, died single.

(VII) Porter G., son of Experience and Jane (Upham) Freeman, was born in Norwich, Febru- ary 9, 1792. When a young man, in March, 1808, he went to Lancaster, where he cleared a large farm in connection with his brother, Reuben W., and resided there for the rest of his life. which terminated August 18, 1866. He was a prominent resident of his day, and held several important town offices. 'and was deacon of the Congregational Church for forty years, and the first Sunday school was organized and held in his home, for three years, He married Mercy, daughter of Captain Enimons Stockwell, a pioneer settler in Lancaster (see Stock- well). She became the mother of children, but two of whom are now living. namely: William Porter, who is referred to in the succeeding para- graph; and Emmons Selden, who is residing in Chicago. The others were: Emmons F., Mercy Jane, James F., and Gratia Anna. The mother died October 22, 1850.
(VIII) William Porter, son of Porter G. and Mercy (Stockwell) Freeman, was born in Lancas- ter, March 9. 1821. His boyhood days were divided between working on the homestead farm. A short time in his early youth he taught a school in his father's barn. Shortly after attaining his majority he went to Boston, and for the succeeding twenty years was engaged in mercantile business in that city. Returning to Lancaster in 1864, he resumed farming on his present farm, to which he succeeded, and as the years advanced he disposed of a con- siderable portion of the property, retaining for his own use some fifty acres. He is now a venerable octogenarian and a highly esteemed citizen, having served in all of the town offices, and was a deacon of the Congregational Church for thirty-five years. Mr. Freeman was married to Cynthia A. Hunting- ton, October 14. 1857, in North Russell Street Church, Boston, by Rev. Henry W. Warren, now bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She died January 16, 1893. He was married (second), May 6, 1896, to Sarah Elizabeth Kinsman; her maiden name was Cheever.
(I) The earliest of whom either tradition or record gives knowledge in this line was Peleg Free- man, who went from Salem, Massachusetts, and settled in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. His son Peleg was the first male child born in that town.
(II) Peleg (2). son of Peleg (I) Freeman, was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and resided in that town.
(III) Ford. son of Peleg (2) Freeman, was born about 1802, in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, and re- sided in Waterloc, in that province, where he was a farmer. He died about 1884, aged eighty-two, and was buried at Kempt. He married Susan Miles, who was born in Wales, and died in Nova Scotia, aged eighty-four. Children: Barnabas, of Weeks Mills, Maine; Adonirana Judson, deceased; Zenas Waterman: Mary: Hannah; Eunice, and another child. deceased; all living in Nova Scotia.
(IV) Zenas Waterman, son of Ford and Susan ( Miles) Freeman, was born in Waterloo, Nova Scotia, October 25. 1836, and was a farmer. He married, in Kempt, Pessie Collins Kempton, March 31, 1868. They had six children, all born in Kempt, Nova Scotia; Everett K. Edward Orvis. Hardy Judson. Grace Adelaide (Mrs. Morris U. Freeman, one child, Cecil) : Susan Miles and Eunice Pearl.
(V) Everett Kempton, eldest child of Zenas W. and Bessie Collins (Kempton) Freeman, was
born in Kempt, Queens county, Nova Scotia. Jan- uary 7, 1869. He remained on the homestead farm with his father until nineteen years of age, and then took service in a saw-mill at Kempt, where he labored two years. In 1891 he went to Conway, New Hampshire, where he worked at lumbering for two years. and saved enough money from his earnings to pay his way for a term in the Portland Business College, where he prepared himself to go into trade. After leaving there he was a clerk in the store of J. W. Garvin in Sanbornville, New Hampshire, where he was employed five years. In 1899, with his savings, he established himself in business in South Berwick, Maine, where he kept a store six years. Returning to Sanbornville lie bought out the store of F. L. Bracket & Company, in which he had formerly been employed as a clerk. There under his careful management the business has steadily increased, and he now has a well-es- tablished, paying trade. He is a member of Olive Branch Lodge, No. 28, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of South Berwick, Maine, member of the Methodist Church of Sanbornville. and independent in politics. He married, June 5, 1896, Helen Maud Fursden, who was born in New Brunswick, Feb- ruary 22, 1869, daughter of Thomas and Mary Jane (Blatchford) Fursden, of Conway, New Hamp- shire. To them have been born three children : Mary Mildred, Everett Orvis and William Rad- more.
Among the men of foreign birth
KNEHNEL who have been attracted to the state of New Hampshire and assisted in the growth of its institutions is the principal sub- ject of this sketch.
(I) Ephraim Knehnel was born in Sehersau, Germany, August 1I, 1835, and was educated in the common schools. In youth he learned the trade of cotton and linen weaver, and he is now following his trade in Germany. He married (first) Louisa Herzog, who died December 13, ISSI, leaving sev- enteen children ; married ( second) Theresa Pfeiffer. She lived in Germany and had one child.
(II) Emil, son of Ephraim and Louisa (Her- zog) Knehnel, was born in Sehersau. Germany, Nay 7, 1867. He learned the trade of jeweler, and afterward that of weaver. In IS91 he came to America on the steamship "Aller," landing in Now York, May 26, 1891. May 29, ISO1, he went to Manchester, New Hampshire, and was employed in the weaving department of the Amoskeag Mills. He opened a general store in West Manchester, in 1896, which he carried on ,until 1903. He is now engaged in the retail liquor business at 160 Second street.

This German occupative surname
SCHNEIDER signifies tailor. and shows that a citizen of Germany centuries ago
assumed as his surname the title of the calling he followed.
(1) Christian Schneider was born in Saxony, Germany, and for years was employed as a wool sorter. In 1852 he came to America, landing at

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Baltimore, Maryland, and for two years was em- ployed in the Bay State mills at Lawrence, Massa- chusetts. Afterward he moved to Bedford, New Hampshire, where he spent the remainder of his life on a farm. He married, in Saxony, Sophia Vogel, who was born in 1832. They were the parents of ten children, several of whom were born in Germany. Their names are: William, Edward, Herman, Robert, Pauline, Eloina, Louise, Mellia, Bertha and Emma.
(II) Robert, fourth son and child of Christian and Sophia (Vogel) Schneider, was born in Saxony, November 3, 1850. At the age of four years he accompanied his parents to America. He remained with them until a short time after their settlement in Bedford, and then became an employe in the Print works at Manchester. Six years later he entered the employ of Edward Wagner, wholesale liquor dealer, for whom he worked twelve years. In ISSS he started in the business of bottling beers and liquors himself, and has found it a profitable employment. He is an Independent in politics, and is a member of various German societies. He mar- ried, in Manchester, September 19, 1872, Fredina Carmen, horn April 6. 1851, at Elsterburg, Ger- many. They have five children: Clara, married Fred. Kock, six children: Helen, Clara, Clyde, Gretchen, Bertha and Frederick; Henry, Charles, Gustavus and Frida. Henry and Gustavus assist their father in business.
RING While this name has been connected with the earliest settlements of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, its progress has been indicated upon the records in a very fragmentary and unsatisfactory manner. . It is probable that those bearing the name were not connected with the established or present Congregational . Church of the Puritan times, else vital records would have been more completely preserved.
(I) Robert Ring (or Ringe), of Salisbury, Massachusetts, is recorded as a cooper and planter. He was born in 1614, and sailed from Southampton, England, in the ship "Bevis." in 1638. He was made a freeman at Salisbury in 1640, and rec ived lands in that year and in a previous division. He carried on the fishing business at Ring's Island in 1642, and is recorded as a householder in 1677. He was a signer of a petition in 1680, and died in 1690. His will was made January 23, 1688, and proved March 31, 1601. The christian name of his wife was Elizabeth, but no record shows her family name. Their children were: Hannah, Elizabeth, Martha, Jarvis, John, Joseph and Robert.
(II) Joseph, third son and sixth child of Robert and Elizabeth Ring, was born August 3, 1664, in Salisbury, and was a soldier participating in the cap- ture of Casco Bay fort. He appears on record as a witness in a trial in 1692, but was dead before May 30, 1705, when the administration of his estate was granted to his brother Jarvis. His wife's name was probably Mary, as the records show the marriage of a widow Mary Ring in June, 1710, to Nathaniel Whitcher.
(III) Deacon Seth Ring, of Newington, New Hampshire, formerly of Salisbury, is supposed to have been a son of Joseph and Mary Ring. He was married as early as 1716 to Elizabeth, daugh- ter of John Libbey. He owned the covenant at the church in Newington, January 5, 1718, and at the same time his son Joseph was baptized. Their children subsequently baptized at that church were:
Benjamin, Jane, Mary, Seth and Eliphalet. On October 27. 1743, Seth Ring was elected deacon of the Newington church, and probably served in that capacity during the remainder of his life. He prob- ably had other sons who do not appear in the record. As the upper Suncook valley was almost wholly settled by people from Newington, there car. be lit- tle doubt that the Rings of that vicinity are de- scendants of Deacon Seth. The vital records of the state show that Osgood Ring, of Chichester, was born August 16, 1766, and that he married, August 16, 1815, Sally Brown. This was probably a sec- ond marriage. Richard Ring was born in Pitts- field, October 29, 1775, and marricd, November 16, 1803, Sally Hook. The records show the birth of two children, namely: George, in 1812, and Wil- liam B., in 1816. It is probable that there were other children, and it is reasonable to assume that Samuel S. Ring, spoken of in the next paragraph, was one of these .. Deacon Seth Ring is on record as one of the charter proprietors of Barnstead, May 20, 1727. On the 30th of January, 1732, Dea- con Seth Ring sold land in Barnstead, and in the following year he bought land in Portsmouth. He sold land and buildings in Portsmouth in 1734, and in 1741 hought land in Rochester. His will was made February 1, 1756, and mentioned sons, Joseph, Benjamin, Eliphalet, Seth, Josiah and George, be- sides daughters, Mary, Jane and Elizabeth.
