This is one of the early families of ROBERTS New Hampshire, having been lo- cated from the earliest pioneer period within the present limits of the state. The de- scendants bearing the name are very numerous throughout the commonwealth, and have spread to many other states. One of the lines herein traced

was conspicuously identified with the Revolution, and has borne its part in developing the arts of peace.
(1) Thomas Roberts was a settler on Dover Neck at a very carly period, but there is now no positive information as to the exact date. The uni- form tradition of the family states that he settled at the Point, in company with Edward and William Hilton, in 1623, Land which he occupied was re- tained in the Roberts family in uninterrupted suc- cession for more than two centuries. In 1038 the people of Dover chose "Mr. Roberts" "President of the Court" in place of Captain John Underhill, whom they had expelled . for his various crimes. Mr. Roberts was elected to various minor offices in the town and received several grants of land at different times, though his possessions are said to have been comparatively small. He owned land on the east side of Dover Neck, and also on the west side of Buck River. Sewell's "History of the Quakers" speaks of him as rebuking his sons Thomas and John, who were constables, for the excessive viru- Ience with which they enforced the laws against the Quakers in 1662. This shows that Mr. Roberts, whose title proves him to have been a much re- spected man in his time, exercised greater tolerance than did many of his contemporaries. He had been, at the date above named. more than twenty years a member of the church. He died between September 27, 1673, and June 30, 1074, the respective dates of making and proving his will. The bulk of his prop- erty was bequeathed to Richard Rich, husband of his daughter Sarah, but legacies were given to three of the children mentioned below. He was buried in the northeast corner of the old burying ground on Dover Neck, where many of his descendants were also interred. His children
included John, Thomas, perhaps William ( mentioned hereinafter), Hester (wife of John Martin, and living in Jersey in 1673), Anne (wife of James Philbrick, of Hamp- ton). Elizabeth (wife of Benjamin Heard, of Cocheco), and Sarah (wife of Richard Rich).
(II) John, son of Thomas Roberts, was born in 1629, in Dover, and is often referred to in the rec- ords as "Sargent John." He owned land near his father's, and probably lived upon it. He was cer- tainly a resident of Dover Neck, and also owned land west of the Buck river, as well as marsh, ad- joining the Great Bay. He was a delegate to the New Hampshire convention which met in 1689. He married Abigail, daughter of Elder Hatevil Nutter (see Nutter, I). She was living in 1674, and was mentioned in the will of her father. His children included Joseph, Hatevil, and probably Thomas and Abigail.
(III) Joseph, eldest son of John (2) and Abi- gail (Nutter) Roberts, lived on the farm subse- quently occupied by his great-grandson, Hanson Roberts. The baptismal naine of his wife was Elizabeth, but no record appears to show her family name. The children were: Joseph, John, Elizabeth, Abigail, Stephen, Ebenezer, Benjamin, Samuel and Lydia (twins), and Mary.
(IV) Joseph second eldest child of Josephi (I) and Elizabeth Roberts, was born October 27, 1692, in Dover, and resided in that town. His wife's bap- tismal name was the same as that of his mother, but the only record afforded by the archives of the state, gives this as her name in announcing the births of their children. These were: Ephraim, Joseph, Betty, Mary, Abigail, and Lydia.
(V) Joseph (3), second son of Joseph (2) and Elizabeth Roberts, was born February 7. 1729, in Dover, and passed his carly life in that town. He
was later a resident of Somersworth. No record appears of his marriage or the name of his wife.
(VI) Joseph (4), undoubtedly a son of Joseph (3) Roberts, was born in Somersworth, New Hamp- shire, about 1760. He was a bright and capable lad. and early imbued with the spirit of liberty, which was rife before the outbreak of the revolution. At the age of seventeen years he ran away from his home which was then in Rochester, and enlisted at Portsmouth, on a vessel sailing the high seas, as a privateer. His elder brother Timothy served with the gallant Paul Jones in the American navy, and was one of the most heroie of the crew of the "Bon Homme Richard" in the great naval battle with the "Serapis." This may have incited Joseph to take the course he did so young, but he was always fond of adventure, and very patriotic. Soon after he sailed from Portsmouth the vessel was captured by the British, and the crew taken to Charleston, South Carolina. Here they passed through an epidemic of smallpox, and remained in the hospital some time. Soon after their recovery they were exchanged and brought to Philadelphia. Here young Roberts met an old friend, named Benjamin Roberts. whose home was in Dover, and who had enlisted early in the war, serving in the regiment commanded by Colonel Poor. The two soldiers started for home on foot, and made their way as best they could by that means of conveyance. The Continental currency at this time was so greatly depreciated that they paid on one occasion ten dollars for a dinner. The elder Roberts carried with him all the way to his home a quantity of old iron, which he thought might be of use to him, as this was a very rare article in those times.
Ahout 1784 Joseph Roberts settled on a farm in Farmington, then a part of Rochester. This com- prised one hundred acres lying near Watson's Cor- ner. Here he led a pioneer life, though he did not clear his land himself. Farming soon became monotonous to him. and he engaged in teaming, driving from Alton to Dover. He was accustomed to purchase lumber of the Alton people, for which he paid in groceries obtained in Dover. By these ex- changes he profited, and became known as a smart and enterprising man. After residing on his farm near Watson's Corner a dozen years or more, he purchased another farm half a mile below, at Rattle- snake brook, retaining still his first property. The new residence was more like some old inn than a farm house. The early travelers and teamsters stopped there to feed their animals and partake of dinner. Though small of stature, Joseph Roberts was possessed of much dignity, and was "Lord of his house." He looked sharply after the affairs of his farm, but was not wont or obliged to labor greatly with his own hands. In his old age he could be seen in summer in the hay field with his home-made linen suit and high-crowned straw hat, giving di- rections to the hay-makers, and knowing every movement of the work. During the war of 1812-14, he was as patriotic as in 1776. Though exempt by age from military duty, his heart was in the cause, and he said to his three eldest sons who were greatly exercised over a draft ordered for troops to defend Portsmouth: "Don't be afraid. boys: if either of you is drafted, I will go for you." He did actually go, supplying the place of a drafted man, though not one of his sons. Ile was married July 29, 1783. .t > Elizabeth Dame, of Rochester, and they had bap- tized at the Rochester church, September 18, 1791, children named: Jonathan, John and Elizabeth. They had ten in all, six sons and four daughters. All the sons had Scripture names, those not named

alove being : Joseplı. Nathaniel, Jeremiah and James. The mother was a very small woman, of quiet demeanor, "with no capers of dress about her, yet large natured and very charitable: she was one of the first. eight members of Parson Walker's Church." The names of her daughters included Elizabeth, Susan, Tamson and Tryphena.
(VII) John, second son of Joseph (4) and Elizabeth (Dame) Roberts, was born November 26, 1787, on the homestead in Farmington, and died No- vember 26, 1847, at the age of sixty years. He was tall and large, in fulfillment of his ardent desire when a lad. A fine penman. he served as town clerk a dozen years or more, was selectman, and was also representative of the town several years in the legislature. In his younger days he taught singing schools. He inherited from his father a farm on Meeting House Hill, where he lived a large part of his life. Both he and his wife were members of the Congregational Church, and for many years leaders in its choir service. He was an old line Whig, very active and a party leader. He married Abigail Win- gate, and they were the parents of seven sons. Will- iam W., Horatio, Bartlett, Franklin, Joseph A., Ed- win and Henry.
(VIII) Joseph Augustus, fifth son and child of John (2) and Abigail ( Wingate) Roberts, was born in Farmington, 1828, and died in 1904, aged seventy- six years. He grew up on his father's farm, and soon after he was twenty-one years of age he went to the village of Farmington, where he was employed in the manufacture of shoes. He was a Republican and held the office of selectman three years, and was also tax collector. He was a member of the Free Will Baptist Church. He married Phebe Chesley. daughter of Lemuel and Lucy ( Coleman) Chesley. Two children were born of this union: William W., who is mentioned below : and Ella, widow of Ralph E. Davis, who resides at Providence, Rhode Island. (IX) William W., only son of Joseph A. and Phebe ( Chesley) Roberts, was born in Farmington. March 7. 1850. After leaving the common schools he attended Wolfboro Academy and also took a course in Comers' Business College, Boston, Mass- achusetts. At twenty-one he took a position as clerk in the drug store of A. C. Newell, and two years later became his employer's partner, the new firm taking the name of A. C. Newell & Company. Mr. Roberts has now been connected with the drug business for thirty years. He is a member of Woodbine Lodge No. 41. Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Farmington, of which he is a past grand ; and of Mad River Encampment. lle married, Jan- uary I, 1880, at Farmington, Eloise Flanders, of Farmington, daughter of Samuel and Marcia Brown) Brown. They have two children : George, a graduate of Farmington high school and of Bryant & Stratton's Business College: and Helen, who was born 18go.
ROBERTS The Roberts of America are for the most part of Welsh descent, and those now under consideration are no exception to this rule. Although not the oldest family of this name in America, it has shared the fortunes of the Republic from the time of its entry among the independent nations of the world. and has an honorable record in maintaining that inde- pendence.
(I) Jonathan Roberts, born in London. Eng- land. in 1757, came to America when a young man and settled in Jericho, Vermont, in 1770. In the fol- lowing year he married Clarissa Car, who was also born in England and was of Welsh descent.
( II) John, son of Jonathan and Clarissa (Car ; Roberts, was born in Jericho, August 17. 1782. In. 1807 he settled in Saranac. Clinton & unty. New York, where he proceeded to clear a farm from the wilderness, and he resided there for the remainder of his life, which ended in 1865. In the second war with Great Britain ( 1812-15) he served as a volun- teer, participating in the battle of Plattsburg. He hield the office of constable in Saranac some fifteen years; was one of the founders of the Methodist Episcopal Church and also of a school. In 1809 he married Eliza Barber, born in Peru, New York, March 17, 1785, daughter of James and Sophie (Evans) Barber, the parents of whom were immi- grants from England. The Barbers are of Scotch descent and the Evanses are of Welsh origin. James Barber was a soldier of the Revolutionary war.
( III) George Davis, son of John T. and Eliza (Barber) Roberts, was born in Saranac, May 16, 1848. His boyhood was spent upon his father's farm, where his opportunities for obtaining an edu- cation were meagre, but at the age of sixteen years he began life for himself and made up for the deficiency by studying nights. When twenty-three years old he began to work at the carpenter's trade in Peru, and he followed that calling in his native state for many years or until 1886, when he came to northern New Hampshire, locating upon a farm on Jefferson Meadows, where he resided until 1891. later residing in various places, and now makes his home in New Rochelle, New York. From the time of his departure from the homestead in Sa- ranac he has labored unceasingly and industriously, and although confronted with more than his share of misfortune he struggled manfully to overcome the difficulties which beset his path in life. One of the saddest of his experiences was the passing away of his wife, who was before marriage Sarah Jane Hoag, and to whom he was married in Peru, June 17, 1871. She was a daughter of Robert Hoag, a native of Ireland, and a farmer in Peru. She died in 1886, leaving to the care ci her husband a family of nine children, and in a brief summary of his life, furnished by himself for this article, he reverently thanks God for the health and strength given him for the fulfillment of his duties. Though not active in political matters, Mr. Roberts takes an earnest interest in the general welfare of the community, and is highly esteemed for Lis honesty and integrity. In his religious belief he is a Metho- dist. although he has never united with that church, and he aims to do all he can in the way of charity and benevolence. He is a leading member of the local Carpenter's Union, in which he has served as conductor, warden, trustee, vice-president and busi- ness agent.
Those of his children now living are: Margaret E., born in Moriah, New York, July 8, 1873, 110W the wife of Edgar Hunt, a farmer in Whitefield, New Hampshire.

age he realized the necessity of relieving his father, who was burdened with the care of a large family, and it may be truthfully said that from early boy- hood he has made his own way in life. In 1888, when nine years old, he obtained employment at the Crawford House, where he remained one year, and he subsequently spent a number of summers as an employee at various hotels, working else- where during the winter season for his board and clothes with the privilege of attending school. At the age of sixteen he entered the shops of the Laconia Car Company, as an apprentice, and was afterwards employed by the Sargent Lock Com- pany and also the National Steel Company's Works in Concord. For three summer seasons he served as station agent on the Boston & Maine railway at Jefferson Station, spent one winter in Boston, an- other in Groveton, New Hampshire, and after leav- ing the railroad service he located permanently in Jefferson, entering mercantile business as a clerk for Sabin M. Leavitt, a well known general store- keeper. In 1904 he purchased the business, and has ever since carried it on with gratifying success. Mr. Roberts is an able and energetic merchant, and since engaging in trade upon his own account has doubled the value of business, which now amounts in value to twenty-five thousand dollars annually. In 1903 he was appointed postmaster, and is still serving in that capacity. He is one of the most prominent Odd Fellows in northern New Hampshire, having been mainly instrumental in or- ganizing Mount Jefferson Lodge, and was chosen its first noble grand.
