She was born June 27. 1677. and died about 1720, having borne seven children. Mr. Philbrook married (second), January 2, 1723, Penelope Philbrick, who was probably a widow at that time, as she is men- tioned in the will of Thomas Philbrick, in 1722, as his "daughter-in-law." Elias and Rhoda ( Perkins) Philbrick were the parents of seven children, namely: Elias, Caleb, Eliphalet. John, Bertha, Rhoda and Benjamin. (Benjamin and children are mentioned in this article).
(V) Caleb, second son and child of Elias and Rhoda (Perkins) Philbrick, was born July 21, 1705, in Greenland, and was a farmer in that town until about 1746, when he removed to Epping, New Hamp- shire.

BOLLES There are two recognized forms of spelling this name viz: Bolles and Bowles. All who use the former or- thography are descended from Joseph Bolles. while the Bowleses are the posterity of another immigrant. The origin of each is identical. The name of Bolles has existed in Lincolnshire from the reign of Henry the Third.

(I) Joseph Bolles, born in England in 1608, came to New England when a young man, and in 1640 was engaged in trade at Winter Harbor, a small settlement near the mouth of the Saco river in Maine. He subsequently removed to Wells, Maine, where he held the, office of town clerk from 1654 to 1664, and during that time his house, in which was deposited the first volume of the town records, was burned by the Indians. He died at Wells in 1678. The christian name of his wife was Mary. born in March, 1624, and she was the mother of eight children, whose names were: Mary, Thom- as, Samuel, Hannah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Sara and Mercy.
(II) Samuel, second son and third child of Jos- eph and Mary Bolles, was born in Maine, March 12, 1646. In 1668 he was granted three hundred acres of land in or near Wells on condition that he im- prove it immediately, and he complied with these terms in the face of many difficulties. Long con- tinned strife with the savages, who in addition to burning his residence destroyed his property on sev- eral occasions, at length compelled him to leave Mainc. and he went first to Clarks' Island, Plym-
outh harbor. Shortly afterwards he removed to Rochester, Massachusetts and resided there for the remainder of his life. He married Mary A. Dyer, daughter of William Dyer. of Sheepscott, Maine, and was the father of Joseph, Samuel and Jonathan. (III) Samuel, second son of Samuel and Mary A. (Dyer) Bolles, resided in Rochester. The maiden name of his wife was Lydia Balch, and his children were: Lydia, Samuel, Benjamin, David, Ruth, Deliverance, Deborah and Joanna,
(IV) David, third son and fourth child of Sam- uel and Lydia (Balch) Bolles, was born in Roches- ter. He resided there until after the Revolution- ary war, when he went to Richmond, New Hamp- shire, going there, according to the History of Richmond, prior to 1790. He married Lydia . Kirby and had a family of eleven children. namely: John, Nathaniel. Catherine, David, Obed, Elijah, Jonathan, Abigail, Mary, Jesse and Hannah.
(V) John, eldest child of David and Lydia (Kirby) Bolles, was born in Rochester in 1755, and accompanied his parents to Richmond. He pur- chased land of John Robinson, which he improved, and his farm was recently owned by Benjamin Bolles. The house which he erected and occupied for many years, is still standing. He followed the shoemaker's trade in connection with farming. His death occurred March 22. 1824. He married for his first wife Mercy Randall, who died December 23, 1804. aged forty-four years. He married (sec- ond). April 19, 1805, Cynthia Southwick, daughter of Enoch Southwick; she died April 30, 1859, aged seventy-nine years. He was the father of eighteen children.

(VI) Randall, second child of John and Cyn- thia (Southwick) Bolles, was born in Swanzey, September 22, 1807. He was a prosperous farmer, owning and cultivating the property in West Swanzey which is now occupied by his son, Hiram H .. and he died there February 7, 1879. He married Susan
Ann Holbrook. She became the mother of four children : Hiram H., who will be again referred to. Marin M., born March 11, 1841, married Reu- ben L. Angier, of Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire.

He was associated with his father in farming at the former homestead. which is now owned by Henry D. Thompson, and about the year 1867 they moved to the present Bolles farm lo- cated in the southwesterly part of the town about one mile from West Swanzey Village. In politics he supports the Democratic party and is more or less active in civic affairs, having held various town offices .. In his religious belief he is a Uni- versalist.
On September 8. 1868, Mr. Bolles was joined in marriage with Celeste J. Barnett, who was born in Glen Sutton, Province of Quebec, July 14. 1839, daughter of Henry R. and Emeline Barnett. Henry R. Barnett was a descendant of Colonel Ruyter. who was active in the service of the Crown during the American Revolution. He was born in 1734, in Amsterdam, Holland, and came to this country when a very young man, and lived for some time in the family of General Schuyler, of New York After his marriage he moved to Hoosick, New York On the outbreak of the Revolution he went to St. John's Canada, and enlisted in the service of the Crown, receiving a colonel's commission.

This is one of the Holland QUACKENBOS Dutch names which has been conspicuous in American an- nals from a very early period. Those bearing the name have been especially active in the history and development of the state of New York, where their first ancestor settled on coming to America. It has been distinguished in law, in letters, in medi- cine and in the various walks of human endeavor. (I) The founders of the family in this country were Pieter and Martje van Quaakkenbosch, who came from Oestgeest, Holland. to New Amester- dam (New York) about the year 1660.
(II) Wouter van Quaakkenbosch, son of the above, was born in New York in 1676, and mar- ried Cornelia Bogaert. A subsequent member of the family by the name of Waltier was a barrack master in General Washington's army while it was stationed in New York, and the family may justly be proud of the fact that it was on soil belonging to this family that the first American flag was un- furled.
Dr. George Clinton Quackenbos served in the capacity of surgeon in the United States navy for several years, and subsequently practiced his pro- fession for several years in New York, where he died in 1858.
George Payne Quackenbos, LL. D., son of Dr. George C. Quackenbos. was a well known educa- tional author, especially noted for his works on rhetoric, English grammar and American history. He was also well known as the American editor of Spiers' and Surennes' French dictionary. His wife was Louise B. Duncan, a direet descendant of the Duncan and Brodie families of Forres, Scotland.
John Duncan Quackenbos, A. M .. M. D., only son and first child of George P. and Louise B. (Duncan) Quackenbos, was born April 22, 1848, in New York, and was prepared for college at the school of which his father was rector. He entered Columbia College in 1864 and was graduated four years later with first honors, his percentage being 99 7-8. The college conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and in 1871 the degree of Master of Arts. Immediately after he graduated he matriculated at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at New York, from which institution he graduated in 1871 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He became a tutor in rhetoric and history in Columbia College under President Barnard, and subsequently served as instructor in English litera- ture and gave voluntary courses in physiological psychology at the same institution. For ten years subsequent he was lecturer on psychology in other institutions. Because of the death of his father in
ISSI, he was obliged to assume a heavy responsibil- ity of a literary nature, so that his active engagement with medieal matters was suspended for several years. During this time he was largely occupied in writing, revising and rewriting educational text books. In 1884 he was appointed adjunct professor of English language and literature at Columbia, and in I891 was professor of rhetoric in the same university, and at Barnard College for Women. In 1894 he retired from this chair and was appointed emeritus professor of rhetoric. He at once resumed the practice of his profession in New York City and in this state, making a specialty of nervous and mental maladies. For many years he has made his summer home at Lake Sunapee, in New Hampshire, his beautiful estate being known as Soo-Nipi Park. This embraces four hundred acres of land provided with every natural attraction and modern means of recreation. Its golf links are the most picturesque in the state, and it is the seat of a large hotel and cottage settlement which affords accommodations for three hundred guests during the summer months. It is provided with steam heat and is lighted by elec- tricity. There are two spacious fireplaces which serve to make the rooms cheerful and comfortable if a chill overtakes the summer. Besides a large dining room, a tea room is provided for occasions when demanded. A handsome and commodious music room affords entertainment, and in this con- certs are rendered every afternoon, and three even- ings of the week are devoted to daneing in the casino. Broad piazzas afford a pleasant place in which the guests may enjoy the outlook. Many towns are visible from the hotel, including the varied mountain ranges and a complete view of Lake Sunapee. There are five miles of private drives in the grounds, shaded walks, and various provisions for recreation and enjoyment of the guests are made. Every convenience is offered to the public in this ideal summer resort.
Dr. Quackenbos is a well known lecturer, natural- ist and sportsman. He is the author of interesting and widely read essays on the brook and Lake Sun- apee trout. He is credited with having brought to the notice of ichthyologists the presence of a fourth trout in New England waters, namely the Sunapee Saibling, a form of Alpine charr not known to exist on the American continent until discovered in Lake Sunapee in 1885. The doctor has been instrumental in seeing this valuable food fish planted in Lake George, New York.
Dr. Quackenbos has a world wide reputation for advanced experiments in psycho-therapeutics and has proven hypno-suggestion to be the most im- portant moralizing agent of the times. He has ac- complished much that was never before attempted along inspirational lines in the evocation of psycho- physical control and the development of slumbering talent. His reputation in this branch of therapeutics has brought him a very large practice in New York, and his clientele represents many states and foreign countries. His office hours are probably the longest of any practitioner in New York, extending from nine in the morning until midnight. He is the author of many standard educational works on both literary and scientific subjects, the best known of these perhaps is "A History of Ancient Literature, Oriental and Classical. including Expositions of the Earliest Religions." Another is "Enemies and Evi- dences of Christianity," and "A llistory of the Eng- lish Language," published by Appleton. He is also the author of works entitled "Physical Geography," "Physics," and "Practical Rhetoric." His medical books are widely read and accepted by the profes-

SIon. They include "Tuberculosis, Its Prevalence, Communicability and Prevention ;" "Typhoid Fever, its Poison, Causes, Prevention and Treatment from the Householder's Standpoint of Responsibility ;" "Causes and Recent Treatment of Neurasthenia ;" "The State Care of the Insane ;" "Conventional, Fraudulent and Accidental Adulteration in Food Stuffs ;" "Medicines and Articles of Wear ;" "Emer- gencies and How to Deal with them in the Family ;" "Standing Forests as Sanitary Factors;" "Post- Ilypnotic Suggestion in the Treatment of Sexual Perversions and Moral Anesthesia ;" "Hypnotism in Mental and Moral Culture;" Hypno-Suggestion in Trained Nursing ;" "The Reciprocal Influence in Hypnotism and its Bearing on Telepathic and Spirit- istic Theories ;" "Hypnotic Suggestion in the Treat- ment of Dipsomania." His master work entitled
"Practical Psychics," published by Harper & Brothers, in 1908, embodies seven thousand ex- periences with hypnotized patients of philosophy of suggestions as inferred therefrom.
Dr. Quackenbos is a member of the London Psychical Research Society, the New York Academy of Science, the American Medical Association, fel- low of the New York Academy of Medicine, the New York and New Hampshire Medical Societies, and the American Society for the Advancement of Science. He is a member of the Reformed Episco- pal Church, and accepts the Christianity of the Four Gospels, but believes himself as well qualified to in- terpret the Greek of these memoirs as are ecclesias- tical professionals. In his political affiliations he is thoroughly independent.
Dr. Quackenbos may justly be proud of the fact that the Armenian College at Kerasunt, Turkey, made the request that all of his books on hypno- suggestions be translated into Armenian for the use of the people of that nation, which has been done. Some of his works were translated into Japanese in 1903, and physicians of high standing in Japan are practicing in accordance with his theories. The Doctor's home in New York is one of the finest residences of that city, which was erected in 1857. It is beautifully appointed and furnished, and is adorned with many choice paintings. His library is among the largest, and is chiefly devoted to scientific subjects. It contains some very rare and ancient works; among these is one written by a woman on fishing in 1496. Some of the paintings which adorn the walls were created by the brush of their owner.
Dr. Quackenbos was married, June 28, 1871, in New York City, to Laura Amelia Pinckney, who rep- resents one of the ancient and historically known American families. Their children are: Alice Pinckney, Caroline Duncan, George Payn and Kath- ryn. The family of Dr. Quackenbos is one of rare accomplishments. Mrs. Quackenbo, is a native of New York City, was educated in its best schools and refined by its most clevating society. The same remark will apply to the daughters, the very personi- fication of all that is pure, noble, accomplished. George Payn Quackenbos, the Doctor's ouly son, is a young man who promises to maintain the reputa- tion of his ancestry. He is a graduate of Columbia with the degrees of A. B. and A. M. and is now studying for the degree of Ph. D. After taking this degree and spending a year at Columbia University he will devote a year to study in Rome, which will be followed by further study in Persia, Armenia and in Ilindostan, thus rendering himself proficient in Oriental languages, religions and philosophies. Mr. Quackenbes is instructor in Latin in the College of the City of New York. He has just been elected
to membership in the American Oriental Society at Washington, a tribute to his proficiency in eastern culture.
The name Hayes is of Scotch origin. HAYES It was originally written Hay, and means an enclosed park or field. Four families of the name of Hayes came to New England in the seventeenth century. Thomas settled in Milford, Connecticut, in 1645; Nathaniel at Norwalk, Con- necticut, in 1652; Jolin at Dover, New Hampshire, in 1680; and George at Windsor, Connecticut, in 1682. George Hayes, born in Scotland in 1655, lived at Windsor and Simsbury, Connecticut, dying at the latter place September 2, 1725. His great-grandson, Rutherford, born July 29, 1758, who lived at Brat- tleboro, Vermont, and served in the Revolution, was the grandfather of President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is probable that the present branch of the family, like all others born in New Hampshire, is descended from John, who came to Dover in 1680, and married Mary Horne.
There is a pretty tradition in connection with the Hayes coat of arms. In the reign of Kenneth III of Scotland, A. D. 980, the Danes were pursuing the flying Scots from the field when a countryman and his two sons appeared in a narrow pass, brandishing an ox-yoke; they rallied the fugitives and turned the course of battle. The king in reward for their valor gave to the countryman and his two sons, afterward known as Hay, as much land on the River Tay as a falcon from a man's hand flew over till it settled. This tract, six miles in length, was after- wards called Errol. The stone on which the falcon lighted is still pointed out in a little village called Hawkstone.
For eight centuries the family of Hay have borne "three escutcheons gules" with a Broken ox-yoke as a part of the crest, two Danes in armor as their supporters, and the motto "Renovate animos." The carls of Errol bear this motto together with a falcon crest. In Scott's library at Abbottsford, among other coats of arms is that of Hayes, which has a cross between four stars, the falcon crest. and the motto "Recte." The present Engh-h family of Hayes, of Arborfield, Berkes, have the "three escutcheons gules." and the falcon crest.
(I) John Hayes, the immigrant ancestor of nearly all in New Hampshire bearing that name, settled in Dover Corner, about 1680. He had a grant of twenty acres of land, March 18, 1694, and this was laid out November 4, 1702. It lay between localities known as Barbadoes and Tole-end, and it is probable that most of his land was secured by purchase. He died October 25, 1708. of malignant fever four days after he was taken sick, as appears by the journal of Rev. John Pike. He was married, June 28, 1086. to Mary Horne. Following is a list of their children: John, described later in this article ; Peter, mentioned at length, with descendants in this article, married Sarah Wingate; Robert; Ichabod, born March 13, 1691 or 92; Samuel, born March 16, 1694 or 95; William, born September, 1700; Benjamin ; and three daughters who married respectively Phipps, of Salisbury, Ambrose, of Ches- ter, and Ambrose, of Salisbury. Perhaps there were other children. (Mention of Peter, Ichabod and Benjamin and descendants forms part of this article ).
(II) Deacon Jobn (2), eldest child of John (I) and Mary (Horne) Hayes, was born 1686 or 1687 and lived in Dover at Tole-end. He was deacon of the first Dover church, being the third in succession from the establishment of that church. Ile died

He entered the army, August 7, 1778. He married Margaret Cate, and their children were: William, Elihu and Hezekiah.
