(III) Samuel, son of John and Betsy ( More) Eaton, was born September 25, 1825. in Hillsboro, and died in 1892. In early life he followed the trade of molder twenty years, and worked in the foundries at Nashua and Amherst. Afterward he bought a farm in Amherst and settled upon it, and passed his remaining days in tilling the soil. He married in 1846, Eliza A. Kinson, who was born in 1829, and died October 25, 1902, aged seventy- three years. Their children were: Ella Frances, George S., child (died young), Lizzie M. and Nel- lie MI.

(IV) George Samuel Eaton, second child and only son of Samuel and Eliza A. (Kinson) Eaton, was born in Amherst, November 19, 1848. After getting a common school education in Amherst Mr. Eaton learned the moulder's trade, at which he worked in Amherst, Nashua and Gardner, Mas- sachusetts. In May, 1883, he settled on the place where he has since resided. His farm consists of eighty acres of land and is situated four miles from Milford.

They have one child Clarence W., born in Amherst in 1870, died in 1887.

(Fifth Family.)

This branch of the extensive family of EATON Eaton is probably descended from John Eaton, of Salisbury, the immigrant. A thorough search of the vital records of New Hamp- shire and of Salisbury, Massachusetts. proves that the birth of Ebenezer Eaton, the first of this sketch, is not recorded. Perhaps he was born in Sea- brook, New Hampshire, a part of which town once belonged to Salisbury, Massachusetts, and in 1741, owing to a change in the state line, was thrown into New Hampshire. A number of Eaton and other families thus became unwillingly inhabitants of New Hampshire, and there is a tradition that some of them resented this transfer of jurisdiction for one or two decades, still claiming to live in Salisbury, and failing to have any records of births, deaths and marriages in their families placed in the town register of Seabrook or elsewhere, so nothing certain is now known of these facts. Noth- ing shows the identity of the Ebenezer of this sketch with Ebenezer, son of Rev. Benjamin, of Chester (q. v.), but there is much reason for the supposition that he was that son.

(I) Ebenezer Eaton, who was born in Atkin-

son, June 10, 1765, removed with his brother Samuel to Landaff, where he resided many years. He removed to Lisbon, and died there April 22, 1843. He married. September 13, 1792, Ruth, the daughter of Jeremiah Hutchins, the most prominent citizen of Bath. This indicates that he was a person of good standing. She died in Lisbon May 15, 1862. The children of this union were: Ebe- nezer, Stephen, Ira, Mitchell H., Phebe, Hannah and Eliza, who died young.

( II) Alitchell Hutchins, son of Ebenezer and Ruth (Hutchins) Eaton, was born in Landaff, April 19, 1800, and died in Littleton, June 1, ISSO, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. He was a farmer and resided in Landaff, Lisbon, and Little- ton, his residence in the latter place dating from 1868. In politics in his later years he was a Re- publican. He married, March 21, 1833, Sarah, daughter of Ebenezer Eastman, who was born in Canada, January 22, 1798, and died in Littleton, June 20, 1886, in her eighty-eighth year. They had children : Charles, Ann and Julia Ann.

(III) Charles, only son of Mitchell II. and Sarah (Eastman) Eaton, was born in Landaff, June 9, 1834, and died in Littleton, June 20, 1905. He engaged in the general merchandise business in Lisbon and continued until 1867, part of the time also carrying on a meat business. In 1868 he removed to Littleton, and in company with Alonzo Weeks carried on a merchandise business for some years. At different times Isaac Calhoun, Charles D. Tarbell and Henry F. Green were partners il the business. He also engaged in lumbering in or about South Littleton, Zealand, Bethlehem Junction, Stark and Milan. Charles Eaton and Henry C. Libby were the principal men of the Kilkenny Lumber Company, which secured a new charter for the Kilkenny railroad, and in 1887 built a road from Lancaster to the town of Kilkenny and did a large lumber business which proved to be a very profitable enterprise. In politics Mr. Eaton was a Republican. He was too busy to seek office, and held only the offices of justice of the peace and fireward, the latter in 1881, and post- master of Littleton from 1899 to 1905. He was a member of Burns Lodge, No. 66, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, of Littleton. Mr. Eaton's well- known business qualities and strict attention to whatever he undertook brought him abundant and well merited success, and placed him among the leading men of the "North Country." He married, January 1, 1863, Sarah Jane Green, who was born in Lyndon, Vermont, December 16, 1837, daughter of Harry and Marilla (Smith) Green, of Lyndon. Four children were born of this union: Julia Anne, Myra Green, Harry M., who is mentioned below ; and Charles Francis.

(IV) Harry Mitchell, third child and the elder of the two sons of Charles and Sarah J. (Green) Eaton, was born in Littleton, February 20, 1869, and educated in the schools of Littleton and at Dartmouth College, graduating from the latter in 1890. From 1890 he was a partner with his father in the lumber business until his father withdrew from that business and became postmaster, and then the son became assistant postmaster. August, 1905, he received the appointment of postmaster, and has since worthily filled that position. In 1900 he was census enumerator. Mr. Eaton is one of the progressive young men of Littleton, full of energy, well educated and equipped for business and qualified to gain success in whatever industry he chooses. In politics he is a staunch Republican, and one of the local leaders of his party. He is

a Mason of high degree, and a member of the fol- lowing organizations of that order: Burns Lodge, No. 66; Franklin Royal Arch Chapter; St. Gerard Commandery, Knights Templar; and Edward A. Raymond Consistory, Thirty-second degree, Sub- lime Princes of the Royal Secret, of Nashua. He married, in Montreal, Province of Quebec, Febru- ary 21, ISO8, Cora B. Hopkins, who was born in Coaticook, Province of Quebec, March 29, 1877, daughter of Carl C. and Margaret Hopkins, of Coaticook, Province of Quebec. They have one child, Dana Hopkins, born August 16, 1899.

The Eatons of this article are prob- EATON ably the progeny of the immigrant, John, from whom have sprung a multi- tude of descendants.

He was graduated from Harvard College in 1734, and lived in Groton, Masachusetts, till called to become the first settled minister in Pembroke. Pursuant to a written request of the committee and several of the proprietors of Suncook ( Pembroke), a meeting was held at Suncook, October 13, 1737, and the following business transacted: "Letters of Recom- mendation From the Neighboring Ministry Was Reed in ye meeting.

"Voted to Give the Reverend Mr. Aaron Whitte- more a Caul to Settle in the work of the ministry in th sd Suncook Generally agread att sd meeting to choose two men to serve with the Proprietors Comitie (Viz. Mr. henry Lovejoy Benjamin Holt &'; dames Moor) for to agree with a minister in his Settlement in sd Suncook.

"Voted that the Cometie with th asistance of Mr. Noah Johnson & Mr. Andrew McFarland should have full Power to agree with a minister upon th aCount of his settlement & yearly Sallery: & to Give him a greater sallery then is already.

"Voted in case what is allreadie voted shall appear to be not sufficient &c."

Carrying out their instructions, the committee arranged with Whittemore, who was ordained pastor of the church at Suncook, March 2. 1738.

At a meeting of the proprietors held at Sun- cook, February 8, 1739, the following proceedings were had :

"Voted and Excepted. What the Comtee thet was Chosen The Last proprietors meeting, to agree with tl Reve: Mr. Aaron Whittemore Settlement & yearly Sallary hath Don Concerning that matter, Viz allso to Give the Reverd Mr. Aaron Whitte- more three hundred pounds of money or Bills of credit for his settlement and also to Give him one hundred & twenty pounds bills of credit yearly for the first years & then to add three pounds in a year, yearly until it amounts to the sume of one hundred & forty pounds and then after there shall be sixty one Families in sd Suncook. to ad Twenty shillings to his salliry, & so to ad Twenty shillings for Every familie that shall be aded to the sd sixty families, untill there shall be seventy Families in the sd Township. and also that Each twenty shillings of sd salliry shall be Equivalent to one office of Coine silver money: & not to Rise Ex- cept silver coine be above Twenty five shillings pr ounce, and Likewise to full Equivilent, if silver should be less than Twenty shillings pr ounce &c.

"Voted to give the Revrnd Mr Whittemore a Lese of the Parsonage Lot so Long as he Remains our minister in sd Suncook."

To these proceedings eight citizens entered their "Desents" and alleged nine reasons therefor. The dissenters were Presbyterians, who had solemnly engaged at baptism to adhere to the Church of Scotland in doctrine, government and discipline, and had formerly been members of the Scotch settle- ment at Londonderry. With strong denominational preference, their remonstrance against Mr. Whitte- more's settlement as a minister of the town was only the natural outcome. As their own forms of worship were very dear to them, and as Mr. Whittemore was supported by a tax of the town, they were not satisfied to pay for a minister not of their own church. For this reason they decided to have a minister of their own faith, and in 1760 Rev. Daniel Mitchell was ordained their pastor.

The record of the town for 1741 shows that the ordination charges of Mr. Whittemore were fifty- three pounds eleven shillings and ten pence. The vote to raise money for the pastor's salary was a conspicuous part of the town record for many years. On account of the opposition of the Presbyterians, who refused to pay taxes for the support of the Congregational preacher, and the hard times inci- dent to new settlement, the pastor's salary was al- ways in arrears, and finally Mr. Whittemore was obliged to sue the town for a heavy arrearage of salary, and recover judgment for nine hundred twelve pounds, one shilling old tenor. His ministry continued until the year 1762, a period of twenty- four years. One historian of Pembroke has said : "At the settlement of Mr. Whittemore, with the exception of one at Concord, there was no other minister in the vicinity. He had an extensive parish, and faced hardship and peril enough to test thoroughly his zeal and courage. But there was a wide field of usefulness, and he was equal to the emergency. He was strongly evangelical in his religious belief, and wholly devoted to his work. For thirty years he continued his faithful labors, though not always with the hearty co-opera- tion of the people." He was a scholarly and able divine, and his experiences in the then frontier country were varied and sometimes trying. Dur- ing the French and Indian war his was a garrison house, and he held a lieutenant's commission from the provincial authorities of New Ilampshire, and was in command of the fort.
