possessed much physical and moral courage. He was so small indeed that some doubt was expressed in respect to his eligibility on that account, and when he was called upon to pass under a pole in order to ascertain his height he raised up on tip- toe and thus succeeded in passing the required physical examination.

In 1782 Samuel Jewett and his younger brother Jacob left Hollis and took up their residence on a tract of land given them by their father in what now is the city of Laconia, where they were the first permanent white settlers. The region then was en- tirely new and the land was overgrown with great forest trees, and wild animals were numerous. The brothers built log houses near each other and felled the first trees on the site of the mills on the Gilford side of the river. On one occasion, it is said, Sam- uel lost his only axe in the hollow of a tree and to procure another was compelled to go to Hollis on foot, a distance of about seventy miles. His land was half of a tract of two hundred and fifty acres, and sometime after he had made a sufficient clear- ing he erected a substantial frame house and brought a good farm under cultivation. Samuel Jewett lived to attain the age of eighty-three years, and his wife was seventy-five years old at the time of her death. Her family name was Smith, of the Smiths in that part of Gilmanton which now is the town of Gil- ford. Their eight children who grew to maturity were Sarah, who married Samuel Philbrick; Polly, who married Gilman Bennett; Effie, who became Mrs. Hackett; Ruth, who married Isaac Osgood ; Hannah, who married Thomas Craft; Samuel, who received a part of his father's farm bordering on the river and whose wife was Sally, daughter of John Crosby; Smith, who married Statira Glines. and John.

(VIII) Smith, fifth child and third son of Samuel (2) and Athia (Smith) Jewett, was born in Gilford, now Laconia, July 21, 1793, and died in. Laconia, February 17, 1868. He was a farmer and carpenter, and resided in what is now the town of Laconia until 1841, when he removed into tlie village of Meredith Bridge, where he resided until his death. He married Statira Glines, who was born in that part of Northfield, now Tilton, May 20, 1799, and died January 24, 1890. They had ten children: Jeremiah S., Statira A., Edith A., Louise A., John G., Samuel B., James W., Mary A., Sarah E., and Albert H. C.

(IX) Jeremiah Smith, eldest son of Smith and Statira (Glines) Jewett, was born in Meredith, No- vember 25, 1822. He attended the schools at Mere- dith Bridge and Gilford Academy. He was em- ployed on a farm and worked at carpentering with his father until 1845, and was then employed as a surveyor by the Boston, Concord & Montreal rail- road two years. From 1848 to 1862 he was em- ployed in the railroad repair shops at Lakeport. The latter part of that period he was foreman. After leaving the railroad employ he formed a partnership with Ira Merrill under the firm name of Merrill & Jewett, and for three years they were engaged in the general merchandise business at Warren. Mr. Jewett then bought his partner's interest and carried on the business another year, at the end of which time Mr. Merrill re-entered the firm which took the name of Merrill, Jewett & Company, and con- tinued the business two years longer. J. S. Jewett and E. B. Eaton, as Jewett & Eaton, were the suc- cessors of this firm; and finally J. S. Jewett became sole proprietor and continued the merchandise busi- ness the thirteen years following, and then sold to George Clark. He then went back to agriculture,

which he enjoys, and has been a farmer in a small way until the present time. Mr. Jewett became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1857 or 1858, and in 1874 he joined tile New Hampshire Conference, and in 1878 was ordained to preach, and afterward acted as a supply at Wentworth, North Groton, Swiftwater and Warren. In poli- tics he is an ardent Republican. He married, in Warren, February 15, Harriet Merrill Farnum, who was born in Warren, December 30, 1830, and died April 6, 1904. Her parents were Joseph and Betsey (Merrill) Farnum. Of this marriage there was one child, Martin W., who was born in Lakeport, Janu- ary 24, 1855, and died in Warren, January 12, 1873. (IX) John Glines, second son of Smith and Statira (Glines) Jewett, was born September 4, 1829, in that part of the present city of Laconia which then was known as Meredith Bridge. He received his education in the Laconia public schools and Gilford Academy, and after leaving school de- voted part of his time during a period of ten years to teaching: and he also worked at the trade of a carpenter. In 1855 he went to South America, re- turned in 1857 and for the next twenty years taught school and was employed in the Laconia car works. In 1876 he was appointed justice of the police court in Laconia, served in that capacity nearly sixteen years, and then resigned. In April, 1891, he was ap- pointed by President Harrison, postmaster of Laconia, holding that office until May. 1895, when he resigned and retired from active life. For almost forty years Judge Jewett was prominently identi- fied with the civil and political history of his native town and county, and as early as 1858, the next year after his return from South America, he was appointed superintendent of the school committee of Gilford. In 1859 he was collector of taxes and in 1860 was selectman, holding that office three years, and in 1863 was recruiting officer for the town of Gilford. In 1867 and '68 he represented his town in the legislature, and while a member of the house served on its committee to apportion the state tax. For nearly twelve years he was a member of the Laconia board of education and for two years registrar of probate of Belknap county.

Colonel Jewett (he is perhaps best known by that title) is and for many years has been identified with the best interests of Belknap county in many other ways than mentioned in preceding paragraphs. He prepared the city charter of Laconia and secured its enactment by the legislature. He is a director of the Laconia National Bank, Laconia Building and Loan Association, Laconia Land and Improvement Company, the Standard Electric Time Company, and the Masonic Temple Association. Mr. Jewett mar- ried, June 30, 1880, Annie L. Bray, of Laconia. She was born in Bradford, England, January 6, 1860, daughter of George and Ann Bray, of Laconia. and formerly of Bradford, England. Colonel and Mrs. Jewett have one child, Theo. Stephen Jewett, born December 24. 1891.

On December II, 1855, Mr. Jewett married Caro- line Elizabeth Shannon, born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire. May 3, 1837, daughter of Stephen and Ann Prescott (Chase) Shannon, of Gilmanton. (See Shannon, VII). Mr. Jewett died at his home in Laconia, September 16, 1903. His children are: Stephen Shannon, attorney and counsellor at law in Laconia.

Stephen Shannon was born in Laconia, New Hampshire, September 18, 1858, and acquired his literary education in the public schools of that town and the academy at Gilford, New Hampshire. In 1876 he began the study of law in the office of Charles F. Stone, of Laconia. and in March, 1880, was admitted to practice in the courts of this statc. In 1879 he had completed the prescribed course of law studies and was prepared to present himself as a candidate for admission to the bar, but was obliged to defer that action one year and until he at- tained his majority. Having come to the bar Mr. Jewett at once began his professional career in his native town of Laconia and practiced alone until 1889, when he became partner with William A. Plummer, a relation which has since been main- tained. His practice is large and he is known as one the strongest trial lawyers at the Belknap county bar; and in connection with professional employ- ments he has for twenty-five and more years been prominently identified with the political history of his county and the state, and has a wide acquaintance with public men and affairs throughout New Eng- land.

His services in official capacity may be summed up about as follows: Engrossing clerk of the New Hampshire legislature, 1883; clerk of the supreme court for Belknap county 1884; assistant clerk of the New Hampshire house of representatives, 1887 and 1889: aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Goodell, 1889-91 ; clerk of the New Hampshire house of representatives, 1891 and 1893; representative from Laconia and speaker of the house, 1895: repre- sentative and member of the judiciary committee of the house, 1897; state senator and chairman of the judiciary committee in the upper house. 1899; secre- tary of the New Hampshire state Republican com- mittee, 1890-91; chairman, 1892-96; city solicitor of Laconia, 1893-1901; 1903 onward; chairman of the New Hampshire delegation to the Republican Na- tional convention at St. Louis, Missouri, 1896; state senator, 1899-1901; member of the governor's coun- cil, 1907.

being for the most of this time assistant superin- tendent of their largest farm, located in New Jersey, and producing milk for the select trade of New York and Philadelphia. Owing to failure in health he was obliged to give up this work and he then re- turned to the homestead, the same place which his great-grandfather cleared more than one hundred years before, where he has since resided.

The family name of Powers is from

POWERS the old Norman name "Le Poer," as old in England as the time of Wil- liam the Conqueror, one of whose officers bore that name in the battle of Hastings. From that time on the name has borne an honorable place in the history of England. The immigrant ancestor of this family came to Massachusetts in early Colonial times, doubtless as a refugee from the re- ligious oppression in England of the Stuarts. The name Powers is of Norman origin and the martial qualities of some members of this family entitle them to the credit of belonging to a race which has produced many brilliant soldiers.

(I) Walter Powers, born in Essex, England, in 1639, came to New England, and later settled on a tract of land then in Concord, now in Littleton, Mas- si chusetts. His house was on the north side of Quagony hill and near Magog pond. where he died February 22, 1709. He was married in Malden, March II, 1661, to Trial Shepard, who was born December 19, 1641, daughter of Deacon Ralph and Thanks Shepard, of Malden. Their children were: William, Mary, Isaac, Thomas, Daniel, Increase, Walter, Jacob and Sarah. (Daniel and descendants are mentioned in this article).

(II) William, eldest child of Walter Powers, was born March 16, 1661, in Concord, Massachu- setts. and died there March 16, 1710. He inherited the homestead on which he resided. He married Mary Bank, daughter of John and Hannah Bank, of Chelmsford. Their children were: John, Wil- liam, Experience. Mary, Samuel (died young), Samuel, Lemuel, Ephraim, Walter and Benjamin.

(III) William (2), second son and child of William (1) and Mary (Bank) Powers. was born in 1691, and was married March 16, 1714, to Lydia Perham, who was born October 20, 1693. His children included Lemuel, William and Stephen.

(IV) Lemuel, son of William (2) and Lydia (Perham) Powers, was born in 1714, and died in 1792. Despite his age, he served as a soldier in the Revolution. He was a cooper by trade, and re- sided in Grafton and Uxbridge, Massachusetts. His estate was administered by William Powers, of Grafton, probably his brother. He was married. January 14, 1742, to Thankful Leland, daughter of James and Hannah (Larned) Leland. She was born August 16, 1724, and died in 180g. Their children were born in Grafton, from 1742 to 1765, namely : Deliverance, Ezekiel, Lydia, Prudence, David, Rev. Lemuel, Sarah, Thankful, Colonel Sam- ucl and Mary. Soon after the death of her hus- band the widow, Thankful (Leland) Powers. re- moved to Croydon, New Hampshire, where several of her children were then located.

(V) Colonel Samuel, fourth son and ninth child of Lemuel and Thankful (Leland) Powers, was born 1762, in Uxbridge. He was a soldier of the Revolution and, after the triumph of the col- onies in that struggle, was among the earliest set- tlers of Croydon, New Hampshire, and was an in-

(VI) Larned, son of Colonel Samuel and Chloe (Cooper) Powers, was born April 20, 1808, in Croydon, New Hampshire, and was among those who early settled in the neighboring town of Cor- nish. His wife was Ruby Barton, of a noted Croy- don family, daughter of John A. Barton. a promi- nent citizen (see Barton). Larned Powers died in Cornish in 1896. Ruby Barton was born July 9, 1808, and died in Cornish in 1900. They were the parents of four children: Caroline Matilda, Eras- tus Barton, Alice Victoria and Samuel Leland, all of whom are still living. Larned Powers was a man of strong character and the highest integrity. He was public-spirited, and took a lively interest in political matters, although he declined to be a candidate for office. He was what was commonly termed a "Jackson Democrat," and fully believed in the principles of of the party. He was one of the best farmers in the county, and kept thoroughly in touch with the progress of agriculture. Both he and his wife were greatly interested in education, Mrs. Powers having been a school teacher in her earlier years. Both their daughters were educated at Kimball Union Academy, and for a number of years followed the profession of teaching. Their son, Erastus Barton, fitted for college at Kimball Union Academy, and graduated at Dartmouth in the class of 1865, being valedictorian of that class, and receiving one of the highest ranks in scholar- ship that has ever been awarded at Dartmouth. He graduated from the Harvard Law School in 1867, and is now engaged in the practice of law in the city of Boston. He has been a great student all his life, and is regarded as a critic of high rank in literature.
