The SILSBY family have been both numerous and prominent in town. At one time there were more voters of that name than of any other. The house of Henry Silsby, Sr., was the first inn, town-house and church. His name stands first on the church records, and on the lists of Selectmen, Moderators and Town Treasurers. His son, Jonathan, was a surveyor, and is supposed to have assisted in the first survey of the town. He fell dead one Sabbath at his pastor's gate having just performed his customary office as deacon at the communion service. LASELL was also a deacon in the Congregational Church. DEA. HENRY was tall and venerable in person and prominent in the church by reason of his piety, sound sense and zeal in religious matters. Capt. Ithiel was prominent in town affairs and in general business. Though latterly a citizen of Newton, Mass., he retained a life-long interest in his native town, and a vivid recollection of the past history of Acworth. Had

Samuel Slader whose descendants are supposed to be the only persons spelling the name with a " d " instead of a "t," emigrated to Hingham, Mass., from one of the interior counties of England, about 1725, m. Mary Wilder, an American-ch., Thomas, Edward, Samuel, and Sarah. Thomas and Edward were soldiers in the army. Only Samuel left descendants. He m. Mchitable Lewis, daughter of John Lewis, and s. in Windham, Ct., and afterwards in Acworth in 1780. In addition to the usual trials of front- ier life his family suffered severely from sickness. When his children, Mercy and Zenas, in 1788, were buried, he was the only one of the family able to follow them to the grave. He was elected deacon of the Congrega- tional Church but died in a few months afterwards, in 1790. His son Thomas was elected deacon in his stead, a quiet, unassuming man, but uni- versally respected and possessing a judgment much relied upon. He died in 1814 and his brother Edward succeeded to the office of deacon, and was faithful and zealous through the revivals under Mr. Cooke's ministry, dying soon after Mr. Cooke left in 1833. After a lapse of years, Zenas, the son of Thomas, succeeded to the deacon's office which he still holds. Thus the family has been prominent in the church. It has also been prominent in town affairs, two of the sons and six of the grandsons of Samuel Slader having represented their town or district in either branch of the Legislature. Another son, Samuel, was first postmaster in town and held the office nearly thirty years. The ch. of SAMUEL SLADER were : I., Mchitable, m. Joshua

while the remaining four fell upon Smith, who bravely defended himself, and nearly killed one of the savages by striking him with a gun which he had wrenched from his hands. He was speedily overcome and bound, and load- ing him with their plunder they started for Canada. He, however, liberated himself and his companion during the first night and escaped.
