(III) William Ayer Rundlett, second son and child of Thomas and Fanny (Ayer) Rundlett was born in Bedford, now West Manchester, July 20, 1815, and died in Bedford, March 15, 1880. He was educated in the public schools and at the academy at Salisbury, being a classmate in the latter insti- tution with the late Reverend S. C. Bartlett, presi- dent of Dartmouth College. He lived for a time in Bedford, now Piscataquog. He was in business with his father as a hat manufacturer for a time, but failing health compelled him to adopt farming as a vocation, and he located opposite the John A. McGaw estate in Bedford. He was a musician of prominence, having been a member of the famous Stark's Cornet Band of Manchester. He was widely known as a successful instructor in dancing. He was a Universalist in religious faith, and in politics a Democrat.

The McPherson family de- scended from a warlike people in Germany called the Chatti, who after bravely resisting Tiberius Cæsar for a long time, were forced to leave their native country. They embarked for Great Britain, but were driven by storms to the north of Scotland, A. D. 76. They increased rapidly and overspread all the northern country and formed one of the divisions of the Clan Chattan. Their line of descent can be traced to Kenneth II. They emigrated to Ireland to escape religious persecution, but were opposed by the Irish on account of their acquiring property. They then emigrated to America. Paul McPherson and his son William, came to Boston in 1732. One, a brother of Paul, settled in Goffstown. William McDowel (McDole) McPherson, father of Louisa Hayes McPherson, was the eldest son of John Mc- Pherson, son of John McPherson, who in turn was a son of Paul.

Mr. Rundlett's course in life has proven him to be thoughtful, considerate and wise. As a young man, he was strong, active, quick to think and act and excelled in manly athletic sports. At- taining manhood with a sound, well trained and vigorous body, and possessing a mind trained and qualified for usefulness in the world, he chose a vocation where he would benefit himself and others. He is a person of high character and peculiarly fitted for the honorable place he occupies, which has filled his life with hard work and pleasure. His success and the esteem in which he is held by the people of Concord, are attested by his filling the po- sition he now occupies (1906) for twenty-two con- secutive years.

The large number bearing this name
BROWN among the pioneer settlers of New England have left a very numerous progeny. The frequent recurrence of the same Christian names has rendered it extremely difficult to trace the descent of many. Happily, the line herein covered is fairly complete and includes some prominent citizens of New Hampshire who have earned distinction by their own merit and ability.
(I) John Brown, born in England in 1588-9, came to Massachusetts as early as 1635, and settled permanently at Hampton, in what is now New Hampshire, in 1639. He was granted a house lot of four acres. but soon after purchased ten acres from John Sanders, upon which he took up his resi- dence. This property continued in the hands of his lineal descendants through seven generations. He must have been a man of much industry, for he made several additions to this tract by purchase, and also acquired other tracts in various parts of the town. He died February 28, 1687. The records
