(VII) Frank Pierce, second child and eldest son of Ezra T. and Hannah M. ( Coggswell) Hobbs, was born in Winona, Minnesota, September 6, 1855. and educated in the public schools of Ossipee and Farnworth. While yet a boy he entered the employ of what is known as the Eastern Railroad, which was consolidated with the Boston & Maine railroad. There he served as brakeman and baggage master, and October 31, 1879, was appointed station agent at Wolfborough, and discharged the duties of that position until July 1, 1888. In that year he pur- chased a livery business which he has since con- ducted. In June, 1898, he bought the old Belvue House at Wolfborough, which he renamed the Lake Shore. He carried on that hostelry until June, 1899, when he bought the Wolfborough House which he christened "Hobbs is Inn." This is a commodious hotel, accommodating one hundred guests, up-to-date in its furnishings and equipment, charming in its situation and commanding a beauti- ful and comprehensive view of Lake Winnepesaukee and the surrounding mountains. July 4, ISSS, Mr. Hobbs was appointed mail agent on the route be- tween Boston and North Conway, but declined to serve. He was appointed deputy sheriff of Carroll county in 1887, and served twelve years. He was postmaster of Wolfborough from January 31, 1894, until February 3, 1898, during which time the in- crease of the business of the office caused the salary of the postmaster to be raised from twelve hundred dollars to seventeen hundred dollars a year. In 1898 Mr. Hobbs was a candidate for sheriff of Carroll county, to which office he was elected in November of that year, and he was the only Demo- crat sheriff in New Hampshire who was then elected, and was also the only Democrat elected in Carroll county. For more than twenty years he has been a member of the Democratic state committee. Besides discharging the manifold duties of the callings enumerated, in which he has been a faith- ful worker, he has done considerable business as an auctioneer and real estate dealer. He is a stirring, industrious man, popular and prosperous. He is a member of the Morning Star Lodge, No. 17, Free and Accepted Masons; Fidelity Lodge, No. 71 ; Kingswood Encampment, No. 31, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and Carroll Lodge, No. 7, Ancient Order of United Workmen, of Wolf- borough.
He married, December 6, 1882, Emily S. Evans, of Wolfboro, who was born February 9, 1856, daughter of Otis and Shuab (Libby) Evans, of Wolfboro (see Libby, VII). They have two chil- dren : Shuab Maria, born November 21, 1886, a graduate of Brewster Free Academy; and Mary Evelyn, born September 2, 1892.

At the close of the war he engaged in mercantile business in Ossipee. In 1871 he was appointed postmaster and filled that office several years, and was appointed station agent the same year. He was selectman in 1872-73-74, a member of the legislature in 1875-76-78-81-85, and in 1893 was elected to the senate. In politics he was a Democrat. He was made a Mason in Charter Oak Lodge, but left that lodge and became a charter member of Ossipee Valley Lodge, No. 74. He was a member of Thomas Ambrose Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and Ossipee Lake Grange, No. 75, Patrons of Husbandry. He married, January 28, 1868, Sarah A.

(Atwood) Hobbs, was born in Ossipee, July 2, 1871, and was educated in the public schools of Ossipee, the Nute high school of Milton, and the Brewster Free Academy, completing his studies at nineteen. He was an enthusiastic athlete, and the energy and determination which made him first in athletics among his fellow students made him a successful business man in a printing establish- ment at twenty-one. Subsequently he published the Rochester Leader. On the death of his father he took up his father's duties as merchant, postmaster and station agent, and has discharged them to the present time with success, besides carrying on his printing establishment. He is a Democrat, and has taken a lively interest in politics since a time pre- vious to his majority. He was a member of the board of selectmen from 1895 to 1899, was re- elected in 1906, and is now (1907) still serving. He is social, and a member of various fraternal societies. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, past chancellor in Knights of Pythias, past sachem of Ossipee Tribe, No. 16, Im- proved Order of Red Men, and past master of Ossipee Lake Grange, Patrons of Husbandry .*
This is a very ancient cogno- HUTCHINSON men, and there are various traditions regarding its origin. The most persistent makes the first of the name in England a Norwegian, who came in with William the Conqueror. There is, however, no documentary evidence to confirm such tradition, and the actual origin of the name is lost in the misty ages of the distant past. The name is, however, continuously traced from the year 1282, and from there down the line will be herein given.
(I) Barnard Hutchinson, of Cowlam, county of York, was living in the year 1282, in the reign
of King Edward I., but little is known of his per- sonal history. He married a. daughter of John Boyville, Esq., but her Christian name is not pre- served. They had two sons and a daughter: John, Robert and Mary.
(II) John, son of Barnard Hutchinson, married Edith. daughterof William Wouldbie, of Would- bie. No trace of any place of that name can now be found; it probably designated some small landed estate which has since been swallowed up in a larger. They had four children : James, Barbara, Julia and Margaret.
(III) James, only son of John and Edith (Wouldbie) Hutchinson, married Ursula, daughter of Mr. Gregory, of Nafferton. They had five chil- dren : William, John, Barbara, a daughter unnamed and Eleanor.
(IV) William, eldest son of James and Ursula (Gregory) Hutchinson, married Anna, daughter of William Bennet, Esq., of Theckley. Their four children were: Anthony, Oliver, Mary and Alice.
(V) Anthony, elder son of William and Anna (Bennet) Hutchinson, married (first) Judith, daugh- ter of Thomas Crosland, and (second) Isabel, daughter of Robert Harvie. He had eight sons : William, Thomas, John, Richard, Leonard, Edmond, Francis and Andrew.
(VI) Thomas, second son of Anthony Hutchin- son, is supposed to have married a daughter of Mr. Drake, of Kinoulton, county of Nottingham. He was living October 9, 1550. He had three sons : William, John and Lawrence.
(VII) Lawrence, third son of Thomas Hutchin- son, resided at Owlthorpe. His will was proved October 9, 1577, and his wife, Isabel, was living at that time. They had five children : Robert, Thomas, Agnes, Richard and William.
(VIII) Thomas (2), third son of Lawrence and Isabel Hutchinson, resided at Newark, where he died in 1598. He had two sons and a daughter : William, Thomas and Joan.
(IX) Thomas (3), younger son of Thomas (2) Hutchinson, was buried at Arnold, England, Au- gust 17, 1618. The Christian name of his wife was Alice, and their children were: John, Isabel, Hum- phrey, Elizabeth, Robert, Richard and Thomas.
(X) Richard, fourth son and sixth child of Thomas (3) and Alice Hutchinson, was the pioneer of the family in America. He was born in 1602, as indicated by his deposition on file in Salem, Massachusetts. He emigrated to America in 1634 with his wife Alice and four children, and settled in Salem village, now Danvers, in the vicinity of Whipple and Haythorn's Hill. There is some evi- dence in the town records of Salem that he may have originally settled in the old town. In 1636 he received a grant of sixty acres of land from the town, and on April 3, following he received twenty acres more. In the same year he was ap- pointed on a committee to survey what is now Man- chester and Mackerel Cove. On April 17, 1637, it was voted "that in case Ric'd Huchenson should sett up plowing within 2 years he may have 20 acres more to bee added to his pportion." . It seems that there was a great scarcity of plows, there being only thirty-seven in all the settlements. In 1648 Richard Hutchinson bought at Salem village, of Elias Stileman, his farm of one hundred and fifty acres, the consideration being fifteen pounds. The records do not show him to have been much in official station, but he was undoubtedly a man of much force of character and great physical en- durance. He was a thorough agriculturist and amassed a large estate. Most of this he divided

among his children before the close of his life. He and his wife were members of the First Church of Salem as early as 1636, and he was a strict dis- ciplinarian in religious affairs. He was married (first) December 7, 1627, in England, to Alice, daughter of Joseph Bosworth, of Holgrave. She died before 1668, and he married (second) October 2, of that year, Susanna, widow of Samuel Arch- ard. She died November 26, 1674, and he married (third) to Sarah, widow of James Standish. On the death of the last named Mr. Hutchinson was appointed administrator of his estate. At this third marriage he must have been at least seventy-nine years of age, and was certainly sixty-six at his second. His will was signed January 19, 1769, and proved September 22, 1682, which would indicate that his death occured in the early part of the latter year. His third wife survived him and shortly after his death married for her third husband, Thomas Roots, of Manchester. She was living as late as March, 1684. Richard Hutchinson had seven children by his first wife, Alice, namely: Alice, Elizabeth, Mary, Rebecca, Joseph, Abigail and Han- nalı.
(XI) Joseph, only son and fifth child of Richard and Alice ( Bosworth ) Hutchinson, was born in 1633, at North Mukham, England. The date of his birth is indicated by a deposition which is borne upon the same paper as that of his father, made in 1660. He lived on the paternal homestead and acquired most of his property by a deed of gift from his father. This amounted to considerably more than three hundred acres, with orchards, house and barns and numerous meadows. The homestead was situ- ated adjoining the site of the first meeting house in Salem village, which site he had contributed. In 1700 this church was torn down and removed to another spot, and the site reverted to him. Joseph Hutchinson lived through the very memorable period of the witchcraft delusion of 1692. Although he was a man of strong mind and sensible on other subjects, he was led into this folly and was one of the number who complained against others as witches. In 1658 he was chosen constable and tax gatherer. He was on the jury list for 1679, was frequently chosen administrator and overseer of estates, and was often witness to various instru- ments. During his lifetime he distributed his large property among his children, but there is no will or administration of his estate on record. He died between January and June, 1716, when he was about eighty-three years of age. His first wife was prob- ably a daughter of John Gedney. He was married (second), February 28, 1678, to Lydia, daughter of Anthony and Elizabeth Buckston. She was at that time widow of Joseph Small, who was her second husband, and of whose estate, Joseph was one of the administrators. She was baptized April 27, 1689, and was living in June, 1708. There were five chil- dren of the first marriage: Abigail, Bethiah, Jo- seph, John and Benjamin; and six of the second marriage : Abigail, Richard, Samuel, Ambrose, Lydia and Robert.
Benjamin, third son and fifth child of Joseph Hutchinson, and youngest child of his first (XII) wife, was a native of Danvers and died intestate in 1733. He was a farmer, and lived on that part of the homestead which he received by deed of gift from his father, October 2, 1691. This contained thirty acres, and he afterward acquired considerable land by purchase, contiguous to this, and he also owned a tract of ten acres on the west side of Ipswich river, which he bought August 6, 1713, iv-33
from his brother Robert. Before his death he settled a snug estate upon each of his remaining children, and disposed of the remainder of his property by sale. While an infant he had been adopted by. Deacon Nathaniel Ingersoll, who had previously been bercaved of his only child. Ile was married (first), before 1690, to Jane, daughter of Walter and Margaret Phillips, who died in 1711. Ile was married (second), January 26, 1715, to Abigail Foster. He was received into the church May 7, 1699, and his wife on the 28th of the same month. She was the mother of his eleven children. The first, a son, died in infancy. The others were: Benjamin (died young), Ilannah, Benjamin, Be- thiah, Nathaniel, Sarah, Bartholomew, Jane, Israel and John.
(XIII) Benjamin (2), third son and fourth child of Benjamin ( I) and Jane ( Phillips) Hutchin- son, was born January 27, 1694, in Salem village, and was about eighty-six years old at the time of his death. His will was proved May 10, 1780. He was the first of the family to depart from his native locality and become a pioncer in a new region. lle ceased to be taxed in Salem in 1734, and it is probable that he removed to Bedford, Massachusetts, sometime during that year. He and his wife were members of the Salem church, and received letters of dismission to the church in Bedford, November 27, 1737. He had large possessions at Salem vil- lage and, after the death of his father, he bought all the other heirs' rights in the estate, with the exception of that of his brother Jonathan, who was then under age. Prior to his removal to Bedford he disposed of all of his property, receiving from Joshua Goodale for his homestead the sum of three hundred pounds. He reserved, however, one-half of his part in the cider mill. This deed was made December 20, 1733. Besides his agricultural pur- suits he followed the occupation of cooper. He married, February 7, 1716. Sarah, daughter of John and Mary (Nourse) Tarbell. She was born Oc- tober 2, 1696. They were the parents of eight chil- dren, namely : Nathan, Jane, Benjamin, Sarah, Elizabeth, Bartholomew, Mary and John.
(XIV) Nathan, eldest child of Benjamin (2) and Sarah (Tarbell) Hutchinson, was baptized at the First Church of Salem village, February 10, 1717. He was a farmer and removed with his father to Bedford in 1734. He subsequently settled in that part of Amherst which is now Milford, New Hamp- shire, where he died January 12, 1795.
