The maternal grandfather of SAMUEL and EADEY WATTS was John Cockle, an Englishman by birth. When only sixteen he was seized in a ball-room by a press-gang and put into the army. Although foiled in their attempts to make him take the required oath, they nevertheless enrolled him, and in process of time he was sent as a soldier to Boston previous to the Revolu- tionary war. He deserted, and married, and when the war broke out, he left his wife and child and enlisted in the American army. Preferring a soldier's life he remained in the army nine years after the war ceased. John Watts, m. Polly, daughter of John Cockle, and two of his ch., Samuel and Eadey s. in Acworth.

REV. JUBILEE WELLMAN, m. Theda Grout (see Grout family), although not a native of Acworth, resided in town from early childhood, and as his character was formed here, he deserves a notice. He was born, 1793, in what is now Gill, Mass. He is first remembered in Acworth as living in the family of Moses Warren. While a lad he resided in the family of Nathaniel Grout. He was a wild, reckless youth, but was converted in one of those powerful revivals under Mr. Cooke's ministry, and became an earnest follower of Jesus. He graduated at Bangor Seminary in 1823 ; was ordained pastor at Frankfort, Me., in 1824, and dismissed in 1826; was in- stalled pastor at Warner, N. H., in 1827, and after a very successful min- istry was dismissed in 1837. He was installed at Westminster, Vt., in 1838, dismissed 1842 ; preached two years alternately at Plymouth and Cavendish, Vt., afterwards for five years at Cavendish alone ; was installed

at Lowell, Vt., in 1850, where he continued until his death in 1855. Rev. Pliny II White in his sketch of the Congregational Church in Westminster, Vt., published in the Congregational Quarterly, January, 1869, says : "As a preacher, Mr. Wellman was always acceptable and instructive, sometimes earnest and impressive, and occasionally even eloquent. He could be plain and pointed without being personal and giving offense. His prayers were appropriate, never tedious, and often accompanied with tears. He was dignified and gentlemanly in appearance, but readily adapted himself to all his parishioners however humble. His people both loved and reverenced him."

Though not a native of town she came to reside here in 1800 with her sister Mrs. James Wallace having been left an orphan. She succeeded her aunt Peggy MeClure as the "tailoress of the town; " she was also an efficient nurse during the prevalence of the "spotted fever," beginning with the first case Jenny Grier ; she thus had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the families and the history of the town. IIer age, her opportunities, and her retentive memory combined have rendered her a most valuable assistant in gathering up the traditions of " ye olden time," and the reminiscences she was able to narrate added much to the interest of the eentennial.
