James Hodge was perhaps the earliest HODGE settler of this name in the state of New Hampshire. Before 1774 he settled in Jaffrey, where he died August 26. 1831, aged ninety years. lle married Elizabeth Alexander, of Leom- inister, Massachusetts, by whom he had twelve children.
(I) John Hodge was born in Londonderry. He was engaged in agricultural employment the greater part of his life, frequently cultivating farms "on shares" for others. He married Sarah M., daughter of Joseph Roby. They were the parents of two children: Jeremiah, who receives extended men- tion in the next paragraph, and John, who married and soon after enlisted in the Twelfth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, and was killed at the battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia.
(Il) Jeremiah, elder of the two sons of John and Sarah M. (Roby) Hodge, was born in Concord, January 28, 1830. He attended the common schools and a short time at Andover Academy. His youth was passed assisting his father the greater part of the year in farming operations, digging stumps and clearing land being a part of the labor he performed. April 1, 1850, to June 1, 1851, lie worked in the Insane Asylum in Concord under Dr. McFarland. June 1, 1851, he apprenticed himself to a carpenter in Concord, and received for his first year's work his board and fifty dollars in money, furnishing his own tools. Ile left his employer at the end of the first year, and worked the following year for another contractor, for one dollar and thirty-three cents a day. In the fall of 1853 he came to Manchester, where he worked as a journeyman carpenter for two years. Hle then formed a partnership with A. J. Butterfield, which continued for five or six years. In that period they conducted a large business, and erected several of the best blocks of buildings then in the city. After the dissolution of this firm, about 1864. Mr. Flodge started in business for himself. In those days there was little if any machinery in this state for the manufacture of molding, and Mr. llodge first introduced it into Manchester. He be- gan in a small way and gradually increased the vol- mme of his business. In the spring of 1872 he re- tired from the work of constructing buildings, and has since devoted his attention to the operation of machinery. He bought a lot of land situated on
1398
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Elm street, and after cutting about fifty cords of pine wood erected a factory where he has since car- ried on a flourishing and growing business. He manufactures moldings, brackets, sash and blinds, doors, window and door frames, stair rails, posts and balusters, packing cases and box shooks. He now has between one thousand five hundred and two thousand patterns of molding he has from time to time manufactured. He makes a specialty of this kind of work, and in the quality of his product has no superior. Ilis factory, dry rooms, storage sheds, driveways, etc., cover sixty thousand feet or more, and he keeps constantly employed thirty-five men or more, and uses between three million and four million feet of various kinds of lumber annually.
Mr. Hodge has always been a man of untiring energy and industry. Endowed with a large and strong body he has made light of work, and during fifty-six years (since 1850) has never taken a va- cation for diversion and recreation. He has assist- ed in making Manchester the flourishing city it is today. His success has come to him as a reward of careful planning and unremitting toil. He is a Republican, and has been a member of the city council two years. In 1864 he was initiated into the mysteries of Odd Fellowship in Hillsboro Lodge, No. 2, and since then has joined Wonolancet Eu- campment, No. 2, of which he is a past chief pa- triarch.
He married. in Manchester, October 4, 1854, Judith Colby, who was born in Concord, daughter of Abner and Deborah Colby, of Concord. Three children were born of this union: Charles R., who has been for years associated in business with his father. Lucy, who married Charles Garland; he is now deceased. Alice M., who died young.
The only early ancestor of this name, RUSS John Russ, born in 1012, was at New- bury, Massachusetts. in 1635. About 1040, he married Margaret -, and they had two children born in Newbury: John and Mary. Af- terward they moved to Andover, Massachusetts, where four sons were born: Jonathan, Thomas, Josiah and Joseph. John Russ died March 24, 1692, and his wife died. July 10, 1689. It is im- possible to bridge the gap between these pioneers and the present line. Indeed, there is some doubt whether the following may not be descended from another ancestry, Ross instead of Russ, because the two patronymics seem to have been used inter- changeably. There are several Rosses among the early immigrants. AAlexander Ross was in New Hampshire in 1688; Daniel and Ezra were at Ips- wich, Massachusetts, in 1648; George was at New Haven, Connecticut, in 1658; James, was at Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1656; James was at Falmouth, Maine. in 1057: and John was at Cambridge, Massa- chusetts, in 1659.

(II) William W., son of Stephen and Electa (Bancroft) Russ, was born at Columbia, New Hampshire, October 15, 1844. He was a farmer in that town, and a soldier during the Civil war. September 2, 1864, just before he reached the age of twenty, William W. Russ enlisted in the First Heavy Artillery, and was corporal of Company I stationed in defense of Washington, District of Columbia. Mr. Russ held all the town offices in Columbia, and
represented his state in the legislature in 1805. Ile was a constant attendant upon the Methodist Church, and belonged to the Masons, the Knights of Pythias, the Red Men, the Grange, and the Grand Army of the Republic. On August 31, 1868, William W. Russ married Alma E. Cone, daughter of Jared Cone, of Errol, New Hampshire. There were three children : Clara E., married Elwin Rich, November 20, 1901, and lives at Rumford Falls, Maine.

The family of this name is found chiefly GIBBS in the eastern part of the state of Massa- chusetts, and for generations many of its members have been seafarers, sailors and officers in command of ships, especially whalers-that branch of sea service the most prolonged and most danger- ous of all. requiring endurance, skill and courage of the highest order. They have acted well their part in all sorts of dangers and privations, and ac- quitted themselves with credit on every occasion.
(I) Captain Stephen B., son of James H. Gibbs, was born in East Wareham, Massachusetts, July 22, 18H, and died in Middleboro, February 20, 1900, aged ninety-five years. At the age of seven years his parents removed to Nantucket. As a boy he was employed at odd jobs about Nantucket. and at the age of fourteen started on his life as a seafarer. On his fifteenth birthday he was on a voyage to the Pa- cific whaling ground. His share of the catch was to be one barrel out of each one hundred and eighty, and on the return of his ship, twenty-nine months
later, he received about $350 which he gave to his father. His next voyage he made on the same ship, working at the wheel, and receiving one out of eich cighty-five barrels of oil. This voyage netted him $1,100 for thirty months work, and this he also gave to his father, who bought a home in Nantucket where he lived and died. Ile next shipped on the "Charles and Henry" as third mate. Ilis share of the proceeds of this cruise was one out of each sixty barrels, and from this voyage of forty months he netted a very satisfactory sum. He next made a voyage as first mate on the ship "Maria," Captain Elisha II. Fisher. He made two voyages as master of the "Ontario," and then took command of the "Napoleon." The cruise was a hard one, the mate being practically useless, and when Captain Gibbs was taken ill at Callao, Peru, he was obliged to return to his home by way of Panama and leave the ship and crew. Some of the crew were competent men and all were interested, and when they returned they brought a large cargo of sperm oil which brought generous returns to Captain Gibbs. At the age of forty he gave up scafaring and settled in Middleboro, Massachusetts.
Captain Gibbs was known as a temperance cap- tain, and it is reported that in one instance when a ship was being fitted out for a cruise, it was sug- gested that several barrels of liquor be taken along, but the captain would not allow it, and the voyage was made without liquor. He rounded Cape Horn thirty-six times, and at the date of his death was probably the oldest sea captain in New England.
While engaged in whaling he married (first) Judith Maxim, who subsequently died. They had one son who lost his life in the Taunton river. Captain Gibbs married (second), in 1856, Mrs. Ju- dith J, Bradford, and three sons were born to them : Captain Stephen B. Gibbs, of Seattle, Washington ; James E. Gibbs, of Middletown, New York, and Carlton L. Gibbs, next mentioned.
(II) Carlton Lynwood, third and youngest child of Captain Stephen B. and Judith J. Gibbs, was born in Middleboro, Massachusetts, May 4, 1864. At the age of fourteen he left the public schools, and ship- ped at Boston as a sailor before the mast on the sailing vessel "William H. Besse," laden with a cargo of general merchandise for Melbourne. Aus- tralia, via Cape of Good Hope. From Melbourne the ship took a cargo of coal to Hong Kong, China, whence she sailed with a large number of Chinese laborers on board to Portland, Oregon. At Portland the vessel took on a cargo of salmon and returned to Boston, after an absence of a year. After the ship was laden with railroad iron Mr. Gibbs again shipped as second mate, and sailed for Portland, Oregon. On arriving off the mouth of the Colum- bia river the ship was wrecked on the har there, one hundred and fifty-nine days out from New York, and ship and cargo were a total loss, the officers and crew, however, escaping with their lives.
On his next voyage he was first mate of the ship "Reaper." from Portland to Antwerp, Belgium, laden with wheat. For some years subsequently he served as first mate on vessels carrying cargoes of wheat from Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco to ports in Europe. principally in England and Belgium. Ile rounded Cape Horn nine times, and on one voyage experienced a gale of forty two days duration off that cape.
In 1887 he abandoned seafaring and entered the employ of Swift and Company, packers, in New York, where he was employed one year as salesman.
