(VIII) Lyman Brackett, one of the elder sons of Simeon Brackett and Polly (Hill) Foster, was born about 1833, in Canterbury, and passed most of his life in that town, except during his military service. He was early influenced by his kinsman,


the noted Abolitionist Stephen S. Foster, and was very earnest in support of his principles. As a young man, he engaged in teaching, and was in Butler county, Ohio, employed in that avocation when the first call to arms rang through the country in 1861. He enlisted April 18 of that year, at Ham- ilton, Ohio, in a company subsequently assigned to the Twenty-sixth Ohio Regiment, for three years' service, and was made first sergeant of his com- pany. Next year he was promoted to second lieu- tenant. An account of his experience was published in the Granite State Free Press of Lebanon, New Hampshire, from his own pen, making extremely interesting reading for the student of today. At the battle of Stone River he received a bullet wound in the leg. and was laid up until the following spring. On rejoining his regiment he was made first lieutenant, and in the fighting about Chat- tanooga, the command of Company B. devolved upon him, through the loss of its officers. In the battle of Lookout Mountain, a bullet pierced his clothing, but was too far spent to injure his body, and in the same engagement he had an ankle badly bruised by another bullet. In the autumn of 1864 he re-enlisted as a veteran, being made a member of the Twenty-sixth Ohio Veteran Volunteer In- fantry. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain, a bul- let cut a gash half an inch deep in the side of his neck. At the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, No- vember 30, 1864, a bullet penetrated his groin, and ended all further activity as a soldier, making him an invalid for the remainder of his life. Nine days following he was commissioned a captain by the Governor of Ohio, but was never mustered. While lying in hospital, both his limbs were drawn up, as this pain was thus lessened, and became stiffened in that position, where they remained until his death. The bullet was never removed, and he thus carried two bullets until the end. He was dis- charged on account of disability May 15, 1865. When he was finally recovered sufficiently to be moved to the North, he was taken by easy stages to Canterbury, his native home, but it was neces- sary to carry the movable bunk in which he lay by hand in many cases, as he could not endure any heavy jar. His wound was not healed until three years after his arrival in Canterbury in July, 1865. In this long and tedious journey, made by water as far as possible, he was attended by George P. Morrill, of Canterbury, who had gone into the army from Ohio (see portrait and sketch elsewhere in this work), and always credited the latter with saving his life. Though doomed to lie on his back continuously, Mr. Foster continued to teach classes, write for the press and in other ways make himself useful, and was a highly respected citizen until his death, which occurred in the winter of 1882-3, at Reading, Massachusetts, whither he had removed about 1875. He married Jennie Turner, daughter of an Englishman, who resided in Reading, and left one daughter, J. Flora, now the wife of Fred Hooper, of Winthrop, Massachusetts.


(VIII) Alonzo, son of Simeon and Polly (Hill) Foster, was born January 31. 1838, in Canterbury, and was bred amid the surroundings calculated to make him firm in principle. In 1861 he settled at St. Charles, Minnesota, whence he went in the army in the Civil war. His first long march was made previously in Canterbury and other towns of New Hampshire. His native town was always closely contested by the leading political parties, and every citizen was ever wrought up. A close canvass was regularly maintained by political leaders, by school districts, and in that day and region one who piaced any other thing before political issues was

regarded almost as a blasphemist. One who said that the construction of a bridge between Boscawen and Canterbury was of greater importance than the selection of a president of the United States, at once forfeited the confidence of a large number of his fellows. On a certain Sunday in "the fifties," when the whole region was covered with a crust of snow over deep drifts, so that travel by team or train was impossible, Alonzo Foster walked from his home to Wilton a distance of fifty-three miles, in order to make sure that his brother, Harrison Fos- ter, was present at the annual March meeting of their native town. Of such stuff were Revolution- ary and Civil war heroes made. The subsequent military career of Alonzo Foster was a brave and brilliant one. He enlisted in September, 1861, as a member of Company A, Second Minnesota Volun- teer Infantry, and served throughout the war. He entered as a corporal and was first sergeant of his company when discharged. He participated in the battles of Mill Springs, Shiloh, Kenesaw Moun- tain, Missionary Ridge and Chickamauga and sev- eral of the engagements of the Atlanta campaign, and was one of the six men of his company whose names were placed on the military roll of honor. Despite the numerous active engagements in which his regiment took part, it was one of the few which had the distinction of never being obliged to fall back under fire, as is noted by Colonel Bishop in his "Story of a Regiment." On leaving the army, Mr. Foster returned to Minnesota and settled on a farm in the town of Elmira, Olmstead county, where his death occurred March 7, 1895. His four-hundred- acre farm is still in possession of his family. He was married, March 7. 1867, to Sophia West. Their eldest child, Wesley S. Foster, is now a resident of Milaca, Minnesota, and has in preparation a his- tory of the Foster family of the United States, tracing the ancestry back to 837 A. D.

They had four children : Jonathan, mentioned below, Sarah, Joannah and Joannah (2). Of these children the son was the only one who grew to maturity. Sarah was killed by the Indians in the Dustin massacre at Haverhill, March 15. 1697, and the two Joannahs died in infancy. Thomas Eastman himself was killed by Indians in Haverhill, April 29, 1688. His death occurred at the early age of forty-two and his widow afterwards married Thomas Kingsley, June 29, 1691.

On April 8, 1701, Thomas Eastman married Hannah Green, born on the his- toric Dustin Hill in Haverhill, December 20, 1677. This woman suffered frightful hardships at the hands of the Indians. On February 8. 1794, they made a raid on the Bradley garrison where the Eastmans were staying, killed the week-old baby, Abigail, before its mother's eyes, and dragged Mrs. Eastman in captivity to Canada. She remained there nearly three years before she was found and re- deemed by her husband. Thomas and Hannah ( Green) Eastman had eleven children: Thomas, Abigail, Mehitable, Peter, Richard, Sarah, William, mentioned below; Jonathan, Amos, Elizabeth and Hannah. Nine of these children were born after their mother was rescued from captivity. It is not known when Jonathan Eastman died, but his will was proved at Exeter. New Hampshire, May 30, 1758. The land which he owned lies about Turkey river in Concord, and is now the property of St. Paul's school.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.


The origin of this name does not


IRELAND seem to be clear, but it has been preserved in its present form for more than two hundred years and has been iden- tified with the settlement and development of New England. It was conspicuous in the pioneer period of southern New Hampshire and is still ably rep- resented in that section.


(I) The first of record is John Ireland, who was a sea captain and was admitted to the Second Church of Boston in 1693.


Abraham Ireland, who was probably a connec- tion of John Ireland, very likely a brother, was buried at Cambridge, Massachusetts. He died Jan- tary 24, 1753, in his eighty-first year and his grave- stone at Cambridge states "God brought him from a distant land."


Shadrach Ireland was a pipemaker. residing in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was a teacher of new religious doctrine. He removed to Harvard in 1760. He was married May 31, 1739, to Martha Mallett, who was admitted to the Church in Charles- town, May 4, 1740, and died July 19, 1778, aged fifty-eight years, according to the gravestone. She probably survived him, as she is among those whose property was valued in 1771, being the twenty-sec- ond in the town. In 1778 her estate was admin- istered by her son Jonathan. It included house and barn and six and one-half acres of land, and the total real estate valuation was $204. Upon the mar- gin of the inventory is written "Her husband sup- posed to be living." Her children were: Martha, Shadrach, Jonathan and Tabitha.


(II) Jonathan. second son and third child of Shadrach and Martha ( Mallett) Ireland, was born July 23, 1745, in Charlestown, and died at Salem, Massachusetts, I823, aged seventy-eight years. He was a blacksmith by occupation and sold sev- eral parcels of land in Charlestown about 1781 and later, which probably indicates the time of his re- moval to Salem. He was married February 8, 1769, to Eliza Mallett. Their children were: Jonathan, Ann, Isaac M., Betsey, James, John. Timothy, Ra- chel, Thomas and Martha. His wife's father was the owner of Breed's Hill, which has been erron- eously named in history as Bunker Hill, near which Jonathan Ireland resided. On the occasion of the battle he was obliged to take up his residence tem- porarily in another part of the town.


(III) Jonathan (2), eldest child of Jonathan (I) and Eliza (Mallett) Ireland, was born May 27. 1771, in Salem, Massachusetts, and died at Dun- barton, New Hampshire. December 29. 1854. He was a blacksmith by trade and before his removal to Dunbarton worked seven years on State street in Boston. He subsequently resided in Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts. He was an excel- lent penman and mathematician and the manu- script of an arithmetic, which he compiled, is pre- served by his grandson in Dunbarton. After his removal from Boston he engaged in various kinds of business and was connected with Paul Morrill in the first cut nail factory that was established. He also engaged in the hotel business for several years and was somewhat interested in sheep. In 1816. he made a trip on horseback to Ohio, to view iv-5I


the country, but was afraid to take up land there because it was so level. In 1817 he returned cast and bought a farm in Dunbarton, on which he continued to reside until his death, as above noted. The farmi is now occupied by his grandson and at that time consisted of one hundred acres. Ile main- tained a large dairy and was an extensive grower of fruit. His children were : Jonathan, Mary, Eliza, Olive and Annis.


(IV) Jonathan (3), eldest child of Jonathan (2) Ireland, was born December 24. 1795, in Salis- bury, Massachusetts, and was educated in the pub- lic schools of that town and in Derry and Pinker- ton Academics. He was early employed in the store kept by his father and later, when the fan- ily moved to Dunbarton, he participated in the la- bors of the farm. He was active in the promotion of progress and served the town several years as clerk and justice of the peace. He was early a Whig and was later allied with what was called the "Know Nothing" party, at the time when Ralph Madison was elected governor of the state. On the organization of the Republican party he became as- sociated with it and so continued throughout his life. He was a member of the Congregational Church. He married Abigail Maria Burnham, daughter of John Burnham of Derry, New Hamp- shire. A brief mention of their children follows : Martha is the widow of S. J. Young and resides in Providence, Rhode Island. Eliza H. and William F. are deceased. Mary Abbie is the wife of Alonzo P. Burnham of Dunbarton. John B. receives ex- tended mention below. Jonathan is a machinist in Springfield, Illinois.


(V) Jonathan Burnham Ireland, second son and fifth child of Jonathan and Abigail M. (Burnham) Ireland. was born February 27, 1832, on the ancestral homestead in Dunbarton. New Hampshire, on which he resides. He received a common school educa- tion and was for some time a student in a select school in his native town, taught by Prof. Mar- tin Bailey. He early took up a trade and learned that of blacksmith, which he has considered his business for a period of fifty years. The farm on which he resides now embraces two hundred acres, and he has also been able to purchase another farm on which his son now resides. He has been indus- trious and judicious in his investments, and en- joys the prosperity which is due to intelligent ef- fort. During the strenuous time of the Civil war he served the town as selectman, and also served on the school board, and was thirteen years su- pervisor. He is a member of the Congregational Church and a steadfast Republican in politics. He married Mary Hodgins, daughter of Aaron Hod- gins of Jaffrey, New Hampshire. Her ancestor came to Ipswich, Massachusetts, early in the set- tlement of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Ireland have had three children, of whom two are living, Fred L. and Theodore. The latter resides in East Weare. The former resides upon a farm adjoin- ing his father. He married (first) Henrietta Mc- Lane, who was the mother of three children : Faith M., Mary and John B .; (second) Mary Da- vis, daughter of Moses Davis. of New Boston. She is the mother of one child, Dane.
