Brookfield belonged to the Masonian Proprietors, and about forty years ago eight of the best farms in town were owned by Alfred and George W. Haven, of Portsmouth. Good tenants were always ready to take these farms and . carry them on at the halves. The Havens generally owned all the stock kept on the several farms. The hay, corn, and potatoes was fed to the stock and hogs. The tenant got one half the growth on the stock. In December or January, after the sledding became good, they would start for Portsmouth with their ox-teams loaded with the half of the products of the farms belonging to the Havens. They also took all of their own that they could spare, with which to purchase salt, molasses, fish, grass seed, and such other articles as they needed. These, with what things they purchased for other people, gave them a load back. The trip took five or six days.
The Havens always drove from Portsmouth to Brookfield (forty miles) with their own carriage. Their headquarters were at the house since owned by the Churchill family, where two rooms were kept for their accommodation. Their arrival in town was considered as great an advent as for the Governor of Oregon to arrive here now. Chief Justice Doe married a daughter of George W. Haven. She can probably remember coming to Brookfield with her father when a young girl.
Religious Societies. - The first record relating to religious societies was in 1798, when thirty dollars was voted to pay Rev. Mr Russell for preaching. They afterwards changed the amount to sixty dollars, and afterwards at another meeting to eighty dollars. And again they voted to lay out two hundred dollars to hire Mr Russell one year. This he declined, unless those who voted against raising the money were exempted from paying any part of the same.
In 1802 it appears that Elder Benjamin Randall, the founder of the Free- will Baptist denomination, held meetings at the house of Waldron Kennison. For many years the Freewill Baptists had a regular organization. Thomas Bailey was deacon for many years. After his death, Jeremiah Chamberlin, who had been clerk for several years, was chosen deacon, and held the office until his death in 1882. Such preachers as David Marks, Joseph Boody, Heze- kiah Buzzell, Samuel Burbank, and, later on, Joseph Harvey, John Chick,
456
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
Cummins Paris, Silas Bean, Joseph Spinney, and many others, were frequently employed to preach, or were in attendance at quarterly or protracted meetings. Elder Moses Folsom, Elder James Mastin, Elder McDonald, and other min- isters lived in town and preached in the town hall. Jeremiah Chamberlin held the office of clerk for thirty years, and George W. Chamberlin was chosen as his successor. Since the death of Deacon Chamberlin no regular meetings have been held in town by the Baptists.
Methodism. - Moses Chase was the first Methodist preacher to reside in Brookfield. He with his family, in 1849, lived in what was then known as the Thurstin house, now owned by George Hanson. About that time Nathaniel Hayes owned the farm and lived where Joseph Curtis now lives. He deeded one acre of land to the Methodist society on condition that "a Parsonage house should be built and occupied on the land for the use of the minister's family," and the house now owned and occupied by R. L. Chamberlain at Brookfield Corner was built. The first minister to occupy it was Henry Nutter; afterwards came Mr Heath, Charles Olin, Horatio Taplin, Joseph Emerson, Mr Johnson, and then for several years the church was supplied by ministers living in other towns. By the conditions of the deed, the land reverted to the original owners ; the house was sold, and the proceeds went into the hands of members of the Methodist society of Cottonborough. Since then no minister has been located in the town, but the organization has been kept up by presiding Elders James Pike, Barrows, Judkins, and lately Mr Dunning. All have frequently held quarterly meetings here, and such men as James Crowley, Nathan Alger, Mr English, Henry Allen, James Stewart, and at the present time George A. Luce, of Wolf- boro Junction, and others, have held services either at the town hall or in schoolhouses part of the time each year.
Second Adventism. -. The first Advent meetings were held in Brookfield in 1840. Daniel Churchill and Elder William Thompson, of Wolfeborough, were the first to preach that doctrine. Mr Churchill was born in Brookfield, but in early life went to Lowell, where he became acquainted with Elder William Miller when he held meetings in that city. Mr Thompson was a lifelong resident of Wolfeborough, where he died a few years ago. Later Elder Joseph Spinney, a Freewill Baptist minister of Wakefield, adopted the Second Advent doctrine and preached in this town for nearly forty years. Owing to advanced age he seldom holds services except at his own church at South Wakefield. Within the last thirty years such men as Elder Miles Grant, H. L. Hastings, John Couch, A. Ross, L. Boutell, and a large number of the most prominent men in the Advent denomination have held conference and protracted meetings in the town hall, which have been attended by a larger number of people than those of any other religious society. At present Thomas L. Churchill and Charles Colman, both residents of Brookfield, hold religious services in the surrounding towns.

The Great Rebellion. - From President Lincoln's first call till the close of the war the quota was promptly filled. The first to respond to the call for troops, residents of the town, received but small bounty; afterwards a most liberal bounty was given when authority had been obtained, and promptly paid. Of our citizens enlisted Andrew Berry, Jesse Berry, Zenas Rieker, John Curtis, Henry Churchill (captain in the Thirteenth Regiment), Jasper HI. Warren (captain), George W. Tibbetts, William Emerson, John Blake, George P'. Blake, William O. Blake, Joseph Allen, Charles Hubbard, Thomas Goodhue, George Goodhue, Cronin Goodhue, Joseph Sanborn, Charles White- house, Darius Ham, John Witham, Mark Remick, David L. Wentworth. J. T. Churchill gave an individual bounty of $100 each to the first five who enlisted. Ten citizens sent substitutes, paying $300 each for them. Dudley C. Colman, the agent to fill the quotas, reports seven substitutes secured at an expense of $2,565. This, with $3,875 bounty paid to volunteers, and Mr Churchill's amount, shows that the town in the whole paid $9,940 for soldiers. The town raised money for bounties as follows: September, 1863, $3,000; December, 1863, $4,200; June, 1864, $900; July, 1864, $4,000 and $2,000; October, 1864, $3,500; January, 1865, $3,000; total, $20,600. March, 1863, the town voted $300 for aid to families of soldiers. March, 1864, the town again voted $300 for the same purpose.
Business Interests, etc. - The town was formerly a profitable agricultural town, and this is now the principal industry. There were formerly a gristmill, several sawmills, a bobbin-mill, and shingle-mill in active operation here; also, several tanneries, public houses, and stores. The development of Wolfboro Junction has drawn most of our business life away to that flourishing centre, and Brookfield has become really a suburb of the Junction. We have had as storekeepers John Toscan, Wiggin & Pike, Dudley Pike, John Churchill, Joseph T. Churchill, Leon Chappotin, James Tibbetts, Wesley Cotton, Dudley Colman, Charles Colman, Luther G. Cate, Isaac Cate, and others; as shoe- makers and tanners, Josiah Robinson, Thomas Chamberlin, Isaac Cate, Hill & Chamberlin, and others ; carpenters, Thomas Burleigh, Ephraim Parsons, Moses Perkins, Alfred Lang, Smith Burley, Charles A. Hackett, Daniel Lang, Samuel Plumer, and others ; blacksmiths, Thomas Wentworth, Daniel Wiggin, Josiah Warren, John Hackett, John Ferguson, Henry Peavey, William Pitman, and others ; masons, Garland Allen, Samuel Allen, and others; shoemakers, James Perkins, Isaac Cate, Jacob Chamberlin, Samuel Lang, Spencer Wentworth, and others; mills and owners, Kunban saw and shingle mill, Willey's shingle-mill, Chamberlin's grist, saw, and bobbin mills, Churchill's sawmill; hotels, John T. Churchill, Richard Hanson, Dudley Pike, and several others in olden time.
The financial affairs of the town have been carefully conducted, and it is practically free from debt.
Robinson Family. - Josiah Robinson moved from Epping to Brookfield
458
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
about 1778. He purchased the farm now owned and occupied by his great- grandson, John F. Robinson, which then consisted mostly of wild land.
An anecdote is told of him that, during the "Dark Day" in 1780, his neighbors were alarmed, and called round to see how "neighbor Robinson " was affected ; and being surprised to find him calmly at work at midday by the light of a tallow candle, expressed their astonishment at his composure. He remarked, "God will attend to his business, and I shall try to look after mine." He died in 1805, leaving six children. One son, Josiah, was educated at Phillips Exeter Academy, and became a lawyer in New York, where some of his descendants now live. Another son went to Ohio. His other son, Walter, born in 1761, lived on the homestead farm, and died in 1822, leaving eight children. One of them, Richard, lived in Lynn, Mass. Henry was a contractor and builder in Roxbury, Mass. Ebenezer C. was a farmer in Wakefield ; Noah always lived on the old farm, and died there in 1880. He was a man who commanded the respect and confidence of his townsmen, held all the various town offices, and represented his town in the legislatures of 1842 and 1844. He left three sons. George lives in Plymouth ; John F., with one son, Walter, who is the fifth generation from the first-named Josiah Robinson, lives on the old homestead; Albert O. resides at Wolfboro Junction, where he is chief clerk in the railroad office, which he has held since the appointment of Hon. John W. Sanborn as superintendent of the northern division of the Boston & Maine railroad.
Mr Robinson married Clara, daughter of Darius Davis, Esq., of Conway. [The old Exeter family of Robinson was well represented in the continental service, several of its members holding commissions therein. Caleb Robinson was a captain, John a lieutenant, and Noah an ensign. - EDITOR.]
Colman Family. - Colonel Dudley Colman, a native of Newburyport, Mass., who kept a public house in Boston, in 1797 bought a large farm in Brookfield, moved here, and died the same year, leaving children. One daughter married Leon Chappotin, and died several years ago in Providence, R. I. A son, John, died in Brookfield ; another, Dudley, died in Dover. Charles lived in Brookfield and taught school over thirty years. He was a fine bookkeeper, and could speak and write several languages. Henry was educated at Harvard, was settled as a minister over Unitarian societies in Salem, Hingham, and other places, but in the latter part of his life devoted his time to agriculture, and went to Europe in the interest of the New England Agricultural Society, which published his report. He died in London in 1849. Dudley C. Colman and Charles Colman, now residents of Brookfield, are sons of Charles Colman mentioned above.
Hon. Dudley C. Colman has lived nearly his whole life in Wakefield and Brookfield, was in trade in Brookfield and Union village for a number of years. He manufactured clothing for some time. A school-teacher in
459
TOWN OF BROOKFIELD.
early life, he has been called by his townsmen to every position of public trust in their gift time after time, always discharging his trusts with ability, accuracy, and general acceptance ; he has been moderator twenty-seven times at town-meetings, eight years selectman, nine years treasurer, two years represen- tative, delegate to the constitutional conventions of 1876 and 1889, and member of the state senate in 1879. He is a liberal in religion, was a Democrat in politics until 1860, since then has been a Republican. He is a pleasant companion, has an easy flow of language, holds positive ideas, which he has ability to express and defend (if need be) with tongue and pen. The sketch of Brookfield in this volume shows his historical tastes. - [EDITOR.
Rev. Charles Colman owns a farm in Brookfield, has been a school-teacher for over thirty years, a preacher of the Advent faith for twenty years, town elerk for several years, school committee and member of school board for twelve years, holding that position at this time.
Lyford Family. - One of the earliest residents of Brookfield was Stephen Lyford, who moved to this town from Newmarket as early as 1780. His ancestors were from Exeter. He had three sons, Stephen, Levi, and The- ophilus W. Stephen studied law, became a member of the Belknap county bar, and resided for many years and practised his profession in Laconia. Theophilus always resided on the homestead of his father, was a prominent man in the town affairs, was selectman and treasurer for several years, and representative in 1852 and 1853. His eldest daughter married John S.
Hutchins, of Wakefield, who died several years ago, leaving three sons, Stephen H., Samuel L., and Frank. Stephen has been a member of the school board and selectman of the town. He married Lizzie, niece of Professor George A. Wentworth, of Exeter, and lives on the old Lyford farm in Brookfield. Samuel Lyford Hutchins lives at Union village, Wakefield. He was in the hardware business for several years ; he now manufactures excelsior and is doing a large and profitable business. Frank is a farmer in Brookfield.
Chamberlin Family. - One of the first settlers of the town to buy wild land and make what was afterwards one of the best cultivated and attractive farms in town was John Chamberlin. Subsequently his three brothers, Thomas, James, and William, moved into the neighborhood, and for one hundred years their descendants comprised a very respectable portion of the inhabitants. Ivory Chamberlin, born in Brookfield about seventy years ago, was a prom- inent journalist in New. York City, where he died a few years since. William R. Chamberlin, a grandson of John, was a man of fine ability ; he became a Universalist minister and was settled in Ohio and New York. Henry R., son of James Chamberlin, went to Manchester, where for the last twenty-five years of his life he was city treasurer. Freeman Chamberlin was for many years connected with the Pearl Street and Adams houses in Boston, and at one time was proprietor of the Pavilion at Wolfeborough. The later descendants have
460
HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
nearly all moved to different localities. The early members of the family in Brookfield were all conversant with its town affairs, and the present town clerk is Robert L. Chamberlain.
Churchill Family. - Joseph Churchill moved from Newmarket to Brook- field, and the remainder of his life was passed on his farm in this town. He had a large family of children, most of whom left their home in early life. His eldest son, John T., was engaged in farming and staging, and at one time kept a public house. He represented the town in the legislature three years and was selectman several years. Joseph T., son of Joseph, passed nearly his whole lifetime in Brookfield, and died in 1874. He was the most prominent man in town for many years ; representative in 1831, 1832, and 1834, and for a number of years one of the selectmen. One of his sons, Joseph, resides in Lowell : Charles and George reside on the ancestral acres; Charles now holds the office of seleetman, to which he has been elected twelve years. The only daughter of Joseph T. Churchill married Heury H. Gilman, of Wakefield.
