(V) William Ross, eldest son of William C. and Julia 1. (Ross-Hutchins) Brackett, was born in Littleton, . November 24. 1842. He began his education in the public schools of his native town and completed it in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. His first opening was in the express business at Con- cord with Messrs. Cheney & Company, in whose employ he remained about a year, at the expiration of which time he became telegraph operator at Lit- tleton, and a few years later went to Plymouth in a similar capacity. Ile was shortly afterwards ap- pointed general ticket agent of the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad, and when that road became a part of the Boston & Maine system he was made gene al baggage agent with headquarters in Boston. This latte: position he retained for eleven years. and since relinquishing the regular service he has lived in retirement at his pleasant home in Plym-

outh. Mr. Brackett is a Master Mason and a mem- ber of Burns lodge in Littleton.

May 13. 1868, Mr. Brackett married Ella Eliza Stearns, born in Worcester, Vermont. December 15, 1850, daughter of Wilbur C. and Lucy (Reed) Stearns. Mr. and Mrs. Brackett have had three children, of whom the only survivor is Lucy Stearns, born June 23, 1879, was graduated from the Plymouth high school and completed her edu- cation at the Wheaton Seminary, Norton, Massa- chusetts. She resides in Plymouth. The others were: Bessie Stearns, born August 3, 1874, and William Cephas, born March 15, 1876, both of whom died in infancy.

Like so many surnames, the name SCRIBNER Scribner is derived from the ori- ginal occupation of the early mem- bers of the family. In this case the word scrivener, a professional writer or conveyancer, and the Amer- ican pioneers. following the English fashion, spelled their patronymic with a "v." There were at least four families in England named Scrivener, who were the owners of considerable landed estate. The first of the name in America was Matthew Scrivener, a member of the Council of the Virginia Colony in 1607. He was spoken of by Captain John Smith as "a very wise understanding gentleman," but he was drowned in the James river a week or two after his arrival. Benjamin Scrivener. of Norwalk, Con- necticut, is said to be the ancestor of most of the Scribners in the United States. He married Han- nah Crampton. March 6, 1680, and they had four sons : Thomas, John, Abraham and Matthew. Matthew Scribner was the great-grandfather of Charles Scribner, the eminent publisher and founder of Scribner's Magazine. The following line does not appear to be connected with the Virginia or Connecticut Scribners, but to be descended from another pioneer, who came directly from England.

(I) John Scribner, born probably in England, settled in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1662. His wife's christian name was Mary. and they had sev- eral children. Among them was Thomas, men- tioned below. John Scribner died in October, 1675.

(II) Thomas, son of John Scribner, was born in the latter half of the seventeenth century, and lived in Dover, New Hampshire. He moved to Kingston, this state, where he made his will in 1718. The name of his wife is unknown. but one of their children was Samuel, mentioned below.

(III) Samuel, son of Thomas Scribner, was born carly in the eighteenth century and lived in Kingston, New Hampshire. His early married life was spent in that town. where six of his children were born, but on March 1, 1753, he bought a lot of land in Salisbury, this state, then called Bakerstown. The land was bought from Jonathan Sanborn, who like most of the other grantees of Salisbury, lived in Kingston, and never actually moved to the new settlement. Samuel Scribner is recorded as fifth in the list of actual settlers of Salisbury, and it is probable that he built his log cabin there in the

summer of 1753. though his family remained in Kingston for some time after that. On August 17, 1754. Samuel Scribner and his fellow workman, Robert Barber, were captured by the Indians while engaged in haying on the Proctor meadow on Salis- bury North road. They camped that night on the shore of what is now Webster lake, and in the early morning the captors and their victims started for Saint Francis, Canada, which place they reached after a journey of thirteen days. For the last nine days they subsisted on berries, roots, and whatever they could pick up in the wilderness. Scribner was sold to a Frenchman at Chamblee; Barber was also sold to a Frenchman, but succeeded in making his escape. September 26. 1755, while Scribner remained in Canada for almost two years or until ransomed by the state government. After his return from captivity he went to Kingston where he found his wife and children. Just before Scribner's capture he had got out the lumber for a large two-story house. This had remained untouched during his absence, and after his return he built the house on Salisbury North road. Samuel Scribner married, November 4, 1740, Hannah Webster, daughter of Ebenezer and Susan (Bachiler) Webster, and a sis- ter of Ebenezer, father of Daniel. They had chil- dren: Hannah, married Samuel Raino, lived at Andover, this state; Captain Iddo, who served in the Revolution, married (first) Mrs. Judith Brown, (second) Mrs. Huldah (Morss) Jewett; Josiah. whose sketch follows: Ebenezer, moved to Tun- bridge, Vermont, afterward returned to Dover; Susan.

(IV) Captain Josiah, second son and third child of Samuel and Hannah (Webster) Scribner, was born in Kingston. New Hampshire, about 1753. He moved with his people to Salisbury about 1757, and afterward became a drover and cattle dealer at Andover, this state. There seems to be some confusion about his marriage. The Grafton County Gazetteer gives the name of his wife as Phebe Cross, while the "History of Salisbury" says that he was twice married, and that his first wife was named Webster. and that his second was Mrs. Mary A. (White) Farmer. The names of the thirteen children correspond, except that the "History of Salisbury" has omitted John, whose sketch follows. Assuming that its record is correct in other respects, the children of the first marriage were: Samuel, Josiah, Parker and William. The children of the second marriage were: Benjamin F., Isaac W., a physician and author, Jonathan F., Phebe, Hannah, Arethusa. Polly, Mary A. It is probable that John was one of the carlier children.

(\) John, son of Captain Josiah Scribner, was horn at Andover, New Hampshire, January 28, 1784. He was a successful farmer and cattle drover in his native town, where he lived most of his life, though he spent the last three years in Ashland. John Scribner married Abigail Emery. daughter of Josiah lemery, who was born in Loudon, New Hampshire, October 10. 1787. They had six children : Ambrose, Franklin, John C., Darius, Lewis and Asenath.

John Scribner died January 5, 1887, in Ashland, aged eighty-three years, and his wife died there Dc- cember 18, 1878, aged eighty-nine years.

(VI) Franklin, second son and child of John and Abigail (Emery) Scribner. was born July 9. 1819, at Andover, New Hampshire. He moved to Ashland, and with his elder brother Ambrose began the manufacture of shoes for a Massachusetts firm. Franklin Scribner afterward sold out his interest, and with his brother Lewis built a paper mill, and they manufactured manila paper and straw board for many years. In ISSo Franklin Scribner was elected treasurer of the Ashland Savings Bank. On May 20, 1855, he married Marcia E. Hackett, daugh- ter of Chase T. and Susan Hackett, of New Hamp- ton, New Hampshire. where she was born July 6, 1833. They had three children: Ida G., Carrie A., and George E., whose sketch follows. Franklin Scribner died February 9, 1885, at Whitefield, New Hampshire, and his widow died December 3, 1889, in South Framingham, Massachusetts.

(VII) George Edwin. only son and third and youngest child of Franklin and Marcia E. (Hackett) Scribner, was born December 7. 1863, at Ashland, New Hampshire. He was educated in the common schools of his native town, graduated from the Tilton Seminary in 1883, and afterward took a com- mercial course at the New Hampton Institute, this state. After competing his education he entered the employ of the Ashland Savings Bank. In 1886 he helped organize the Ashland Knitting Company, taking the office of treasurer, which he has held ever since. Mr. Scribner is a Republican in politics, and was representative to the New Hampshire legislature in 1907. He is a member of Mount Prospect Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Ma- sons. of Ashland, and a member of Pilgrim Com- mandery, Knights Templar, of Laconia. On June I, 1897, George Edwin Scribner married Emma H. Mead, daughter of Edward Hilton and Loanna Stevens (Sherburns) Mead, of Northwood, New Hampshire, where she was born November 28, 1863. There are no children.

The McElroys are of Scotch-Irish MCELROY origin. and although late-comers to America they possess the same ster- ling qualities as those which predominated in the characters of their predecessors of the same re- ligious and liberty-loving race. (I) Samuel McElroy, a native of Scotland, went to the north of Ireland and settled in Lon- donderry.

(II) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (1) Mc- Elroy, was born in Londonderry, Ireland, 1800. He learned the trade of gunsmith, which he followed in connection with that of shuttle maker, and also had a small shop for the weaving of linen. He de- voted his attention to these various occupations until his death in January, 1863. In the fall of the year 1863 his family emigrated to the United States. locating in Manchester, New Hampshire. His wife, Martha ( McLane) McElroy, was the mother of

four sons and four daughters, six of whom attained years of maturity. Their children were: 1. Samuel, enlisted in the Seventh Regiment. New Hampshire Volunteers, for service in the Civil war, was wounded three times, and participated in several notable engagements. 2. Elizabeth, married Daniel Price, resides in Manchester, New Hampshire. 3. Sarah, deceased. 4. Mary, widow of Fred. Holt ; she resides in Sunapee. 5. William, see forward. 6. John, deceased. 7. Martha. died young. 8. An infant son, deceased. The mother of these children was a member of Grace Episcopal Church. She died 1887, aged seventy-seven years.

(III) William, son of Samuel (2) and Martha (McLane) MeElroy, was born in Londonderry, Ire- land, March 18, 1851. He arrived in Manchester, New Hampshire, with his mother in 1863, when twelve years old, and the untimely death of his father made it absolutely necessary for him to con- tribute at that tender age toward the support of the bereft family. The textile mills, wherein so many men of genius began the activities of life, were open to him, and for some years he was an operator in the spinning department of one of the large Man- chester corporations. But an inherent ambition for advancement caused him to devote his spare time to study, and after completing a commercial course at a local business college he obtained a position as bookkeeper with the firm of Horatio Fradd & Com- pany, of Manchester, grocers, which he retained for a period of twenty-three years. He then engaged in the tailoring business, but relinquished it seven years later and turned his attention to dealing in real estate, in which line of work he has attained success. He also conducted a retail wood business.

Prior to his majority he was elected ward clerk, and for the past thirty-five years has been an active participant, officially and otherwise. in local civic affairs. He was chosen a delegate to the constitu- tional convention of 1902: was elected a member of the street and park commission in 1905, and in 1906 was re-elected for a period of six years. and was appointed chairman of the board, in which respon- sible position he is still serving, having fully demon- strated by his marked ability the wisdom displayed in his selection. Aside from his duties as general supervisor of repairs and improvements in the streets and parks, he is interested actively in other important matters of a semi-public nature, being president of the Manchester Building & Loan Asso- ciation, being re-elected for a third term in 1907, and his knowledge of the relative value of real es- tate makes him especially serviceable to that insti- tution. In Masonry he is well advanced, being officially connected with Lafayette Lodge, No. 41, of which he was chaplain many years. Mt. Horch Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Adoniram Council. Trinity Commandery, Knights Templar, in which he held office many years, all the Scottish Rite bodies up to and including the thirty-second degree, and Bektash Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in which body he is a mem- ber of the orchestra. He also affiliates with the

American Benefit Society. Politically he is a Re- publican, being a firm believer in the principles of that party. His religious affiliations are with St. Andrew's Church, in which he is the present senior warden and treasurer. Previous to joining St. An- drew's Church he was a member of Grace Church, in which he served as vestryman many years, and as treasurer of the Sunday school for fifteen years. He is a member of the Art Institute and also of the orchestra there. He is proficient in both vocal and instrumental music. and directs the choir at St. An- drew's Church.

Mr. McElroy married for his first wife Mary H. Schofield, and the children of this union are: Joseph W, a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, John Samuel, who now assists his father in the wood business. Gertrude M. William F., a student at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. Mrs. McElroy was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, but resided in Manchester, New Hampshire, where her father was engaged in the machine printing depart- ment of the Manchester Print Works, now the Amoskeag Corporation, for many years. Mr. Mc- Elroy married for his second wife Fronia Adams Richards, of Goffstown, only child of Eliphalet Richards, now deceased, who was a noted lumber merchant in Goffstown, Weare and New Boston.

This family name has been widely dis- GOODWIN tributed not only over England, but over most of the northern countries of Europe, and instances of its occurrence are to be met with in very carly times. As early as the fifth century it appears in Germany in the forms Gudwin and Godwin. In English records it also appears very carly. In 1238 Robert Goodwin was a citizen of Norwich : in 1300 Adam Goodrich was a burgess of Calchester: and in 1347 Galfridas Goodwin was assessed for his lands at Rockland in Norfolk. when Edward III levied an aid for the marriage of his son. Two Goodwins from whom the greater num- ber of the name in New England have sprung are Elder William Goodwin and his brother Osias. The former sailed from London in the ship "Zion." June 22, 1632, and arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, Sep- tember 16 of the same year. He settled at New- town, where he was very soon made a ruling elder in the church, and was for the remainder of his life a leading member of the community. When Osias Goodwin came to America is uncertain. He first appeared as a landholder in Hartford in 1640. He was not a man of prominence. On account of the loss of some records and ill-kept condition of others, there are many families of Goodwin in New Eng- land who descended from one of these two progeni- tors, but cannot be traced.

(I) Deacon Joshua Goodwin lived in London- derry at the beginning of the nineteenth century. lIis wife Rebecca died May 27, 1806. aged forty-one years, three months, and twenty days. His second wife was Elizabeth.

(II) Josiah, son of Deacon Joshua and Eliza- beth Goodwin, was born in Londonderry, November

28, 1807. and died July 27. 1893. aged eighty-six. He was a very well known man, of excellent char- acter. a hard worker, and a good neighbor. He was thoroughly conversant with the Bible, which he read regularly and often and interpreted literally. For more than sixty years he was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and active as a superintendent or teacher in the Sunday school. He was a man of great physical strength and possessed of exceptional powers of endurance. He was married in Milford by Rev. Humphrey Moore, D. D., November 24, 1831, to Esther Jones, born December 5, 1810, and died March 9. 1888, aged seventy-eight. She was the daughter of Abram and Hepzibah Jones. No- vember 24. 1881, this couple celebrated with much cheer their golden wedding. and lived yet seven years to enjoy life on the old homestead in London- derry, where they began life together. Six children were born of this marriage: Daniel, Henry, John, Esther. Miranda and Joseph Stone.

(III) John, third son and child of Josiah and Esther (Jones) Goodwin, was born in Londonderry, May 23. 1838. and died October 27. 1875. aged thirty-seven years. He grew up on his father's farm. and when a young man removed to Charles- town. Massachusetts, where he operated a McKay stitching machine in a shoe factory until a short time before his death. He was a good man, and a faithful and skillful mechanic. He married, in Lon- donderry, New Hampshire, May 17, 1863, Caroline W. Bolles, who was the eldest child and only daugh- ter of Lewis and Eliza H. ( Whorf) Bolles, of Lon- donderry; she was born in Londonderry, December 17, 1843, and died June 18, 1867. aged twenty-four years. One child was born of this union, Elmer D., whose sketch follows.

(IV) Elmer Daniel, only child of John and Caroline W. (Bolles) Goodwin, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, October 12, 1866. He was educated in the public school of Charlestown, at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and Tilton Seminary. The death of his mother, when he was eight months old, left him in the care of his maternal grandpar- ents in Londonderry, and the father dying when the son was eight years old, he was early thrown on his own resources, In 1882 he was employed for a short time by George S. Rollins. grocer at Derry Depot, and then entered the employ of the Man- chester & Lawrence Railroad, now a part of the Boston & Maine system, as assistant station agent, where he remained about six years, until the forma- tion of the firm of Priest & Goodwin, dealers in coal. Later Mr. Goodwin, the junior partner, sold his interest to Mr. Priest, and took a position in the employ of Brooks & Company, Boston, retail house- furnishers, who had a store at Derry. In 1892 he removed to Manchester, and became bookkeeper for Clark M. Bailey, a prominent wholesaler. In 1890 he bought out the undertaking business of Alfred E. Morse, which he has since carried on with suc- cess. Mr. Goodwin is a gentleman and a man of sterling integrity, and has many warm friends. In politics he is a Republican, and is now serving his

The name of Pottle appears in the

POTTLE early town records of Hampton, New Hampshire, in which it is sometimes written Pottell, but the family now in hand is the posterity of an English emigrant who came over in the latter part of the eighteenth century.

(I) Rev. Henry Pottle, who was born in Eng- land, came to America when a young man and lo- cated in Maine. He became a Baptist clergyman and settled near Fryeburg. Maine, about the year 1800.

(II) Aaron Maztin, son of Rev. Henry Pottle. was born in Maine, ISIo. He followed agriculture in his native town and at Sugar Hill, from which latter place he removed to Jefferson, and his death occurred in that town in 1891. He was quite active in political affairs, and supported the Democratic party. He married Serena M. Martin, daughter of John Lang Martin, of Jefferson, and had a family of eight children, three of whom are living, namely : George A., who is residing in Boston ; Serena MI., wife of Edwin Moulton, of Lakeport, this state; and John Lang, of Jefferson.

(II]) John Lang, son of Aaron M. and Serena M. (Martin) Pottle, was born in Landaff, April 6, 1851. His preliminary studies were pursued in the public schools, and he completed his education at the Lancaster Academy. He was reared to farm life and is therefore an expert tiller of the soil, but being a man of energy and progressive tendencies he does not confine his efforts exclusively to that occupation. Perceiving the advantages of Jefferson as a summer resort he located in that town, and in addition to general farming established himself in the hotel business. At the present time he is proprietor of the Highland House, which has ample accommodations for fifty guests, and his table is supplied with the products of his nearby farm of one hundred and thirty acres, all of which is under cultivation. He also conducts a winter resort at Southern Pines. North Carolina, which is delight- fully situated and well patronized by northern tourists. An unusually active and enterprising man, Mr. Pottle is realizing excellent financial results as a reward for his efforts, and he enjoys the esteem and confidence both of his fellow-townsmen and his guests. He is a Master Mason, and a member of the blue lodge at Southern Pines.

He married Charlotte Crawshaw, of Jefferson. His children are: Frank B. and Florence Irene. Frank B. Pottle, who is associated with his father in business, possesses that keen intelligence and capacity for enterprise which characterized the elder Pottle, and a successful business career is undoubt- edly before him. .

CALL Call is a name that is intimately associated with the very earliest settlement in New Hampshire, north of Concord, and the Calls, whose record has come down to us, have been men in the best sense of the word. strong, courage- ous, patriotic, and ever at the front in war or peace.

(I) Philip Call is said to have been one of two brothers who came to America from England. Philip is known to have been at Contoocook (Bos- cawen ), as early as 1733. He was the first settler in that township after the granting of the Masonian proprietors, and was subsequently made a grantee, as is shown by the records. In 1753 the grantees voted "to build four houses, and that Philip Call's shall be one of them." This shows that Philip Call already had a house there. His name appears upon the roll of Captain Jeremiah Clough's Company as a scout, from September 26 to December 16, 1733. For his service he received one pound and fifteen shillings, provisions being extra. Again in 1746, from July 4 to December 4, he was on scout service. for which he received eight pounds and thirteen shillings, and again in 1747, from January 5 to No- vember 2, receiving sixteen pounds, ten shillings and ten pence. The Call family was noted for the muscular activity, swiftness of foot and bravery in Indian fighting of its members. The site of the Call house is to be seen and easily recognized by a pile of broken bricks and stones, which once con-

stituted the chimney, and a large apple tree in close proximity. The site is on the "Orphan's Home Farm," southwest from the house on the west side of the railroad track, a mile north of the Boscawen line. and near the Salisbury fort. Indians, under Captain John Sasup, attacked the place where the family resided, August 15, 1754. Philip, his son Stephen, and Timothy Cook, whose father had been killed in 1746 at Clay hill, were at work in a field and witnessed the attack. Mrs. Call and her son's wife and infant were in the house. Upon the ap- proach of the Indians, Mrs. Philip Call met them at the door, and was instantly killed hy a blow from a tomahawk. She fell across the threshold. Mrs. Stephen Call, with her infant, crawled into a hole behind the chimney. The Indians, about thirty in number, rifled the house, but she succeeded in keep- ing her child quiet, and was not discovered. When the savages appeared and the purpose of their visit became evident, Stephen wanted to shoot at them, but his father, discovering that there was a large party, would not let him do so for fear the Indians would kill them. The Indians seeing the three whites, pursued them. Cook fled toward the Merri- mack, plunged in, but was shot and scalped. Philip took the path for the fort at Contoocook (Bos- cawen), but finding the Indians close upon his heels. plunged into the Merrimack river and swam to the Canterbury shore. The Indians still pursuing, he swam to the western shore, and thus continuing, he swam back and forth six times, and eventually reached the fort. Stephen ran into the woods and saved himself only by dropping his "nice new hat." which so pleased his pursuers, that while examining it he escaped. Philip served in Colonel Nathaniel Mescroe's Regiment. Captain John Titcomb's Com- pany, in the expedition against Crown Point in 1757. It is said that Philip Call built the house subse- quently occupied by Colonel Ebenezer Webster as a tavern. His son may have owned it, as Philip died previous to November 28, 1763. and probably be- fore 1759, and was buried in the eastern side of the Webster yard. His wife's name is not known. We have a record of children, Stephen and Sarah. Sarah Call, of Durham, spinster, by deed dated May 30, 1759, for one hundred pounds old tenor, con- veyed to Stephen Call one-half of two tracts of land in Contoocook, which she had of her father, Philip Call
