MISCELLANY.

CASUALTIES .- In 1770 Caleb, son of Seth Chase, the first settler in town, wandered into the forest, and was lost, and public opinion was di- vided as to the probable fate of the child ; some believed that he was captured and carried away by some straggling band of Indians, while others thought that he met his death at the hands of a villainous white man.

Isaac Sanger, another early settler, perished in attempting to cross Croydon Mountain.

Alexander Metcalf, Jr., was killed by the fall- ing of a tree.

Abijah Hall was drowned at Glidden Bridge in 1812.

A son of Jotham Ryder was killed by a cart- body falling upon him.

The wife of David Rowell was killed by light- ning; her infant was sleeping on her arm and escaped unhurt.

Joseph Smart went out to catch his horse one Sunday morning, and soon after was found dead.

In 1861 Edwin, son of Moses Whipple, while returning from the post-office at the Flat, one dark, rainy night, walked off from the bridge and met a horrible death amidst the rocks and angry waters below.

EPIDEMICS .- The " canker rash " prevailed to an alarming extent amongst the children in 1795. Of twenty-four deaths that year, twenty were under fourteen years of age. In 1813 the " spotted fever" made its appearance in a most

malignant form, defying all medical skill, and cutting down the old and the young, the weak and the strong alike. Of thirty deaths in town that year, eighteen were from that disease.

SECESSION .- In 1778 several towns on the east side of Connecticut River (Croydon included) renounced their allegiance to New Hampshire, and formed a connection with the new State of Ver- mont, which continued four years. Moses Whip- ple, Esq., was appointed a delegate to a conven- tion held at Cornish, and also chosen to represent the town in the Vermont Legislature, but before his arrival at the seat of government the Vermont Assembly had resolved that the western bank of the Connecticut River should be the dividing line between Vermont and New Hampshire, and the disaffected towns returned to their allegiance and domestic quiet prevailed.

POPULATION .- In 1775, 143; 1790, 537; 1800, 984; 1810, 862; 1820, 1060; 1830, 1057; 1840, 956; 1850, 861; 1860, 755; 1870, 652; 1880, 608.

DAIRIES. - Croydon is an agricultural town and furnishes annually its proportionate share of farm products. It is distinguished mainly for the amount and excellence of its dairies. Among the earlier inhabitants most extensively engaged in the dairy business were Capt. Zina Goldthwait and John Barton, who had some fifty cows each, and Col. Nathaniel Wheeler, Paul Jacobs, Esq., and Gen. Nathan Emery, who had but a few less. In later years, Lemuel P. Cooper, Ruel Durkee, Caleb K. and Ruel D. Loverin, Oliver C. and Charles H. Forehand, Francis Dodge, Andrew J. Sawyer, William W. Ryder, James W. Davis and

Frederick Barton were an:ong the prominent dairy- men.

In 1849 some fifteen men from this town, lured by the prospect of a golden harvest, embarked for California, where they engaged in mining. Their hopes were not fully realized.

The Croydon turnpike was chartered June 25, 1804, and built in 1806. It extended from Leba- non to Washington. It was a fine road and a great convenience to travel, but not the pecuniary success anticipated.

MUSIC .- The Croydon Band, led by Baldwin Humphrey, composed of a large number of fine players, ranked among the first in the old Thirty- first Regiment.

Among those eminent as singers are Moses Haven, H. E. W. Barton, E. Darwin Cummings, Charles Partridge, Mary Powers and Carrie N. Barton.

The inhabitants of the town are unusually social, hospitable, neighborly and fond of entertain- ments, and hence the dances, huskings, apple-par- ings, quiltings and other neighborhood gatherings are frequent, fully attended and enjoyed.

CENTENNIAL. - The Centennial celebration; which occurred June 13, 1866, was by far the largest and most notable gathering ever in town. All natives and former residents were invited. A salute was fired at dawn. At ten o'clock a pro- cession was formed, under the direction of Captain Nathan Hall, chief marshal, assisted by William W. Ryder, Martin A. Barton and Major Dexter G. Reed, and escorted by the Croydon Band, led by Baldwin Humphrey, marched to the stand. Colonel Otis Cooper, chairman of the committee of arrangements, made the welcome speech, and introduced William P. Wheeler, of Keene, as president of the day, who, after an appropriate address, announced, successively, the following programme : Prayer by the Rev. Luther J. Fletcher; " Welcome Ode," by Lizzie P. Harding; a poem, by Augusta Cooper, Bristol ; oration, by Baron Stow, D.D., of Boston ; dinner, a sump- tuous repast. After which other addresses, full of reminiscences, humor and eloquence, were made

by Hon. Levi W. Barton, of Newport; William F. Cooper, of Kellogsville, N. Y .; Thomas Whip- ple, Esq., of Charlestown ; Lemuel P. Cooper, of Croydon ; Moses Humphrey, of Concord ; Luther J. Fletcher, of Maine; Alexander Barton, of Boston ; Moses Haven, of Plainfield ; Solomon M. Whipple, of New London ; and Edmund Wheeler, of Newport.

Barton, Adolphus Hall, Calvin Hall, Ariel Hall, Ora Crosby, Freeman Cutting, Orlando Powers, Elom Marsh, Ruel Durkee, Samuel Blanchard, William E. Melendy, Elijah Ryder, Moses Haven, William F. Cooper, Hiram Smart, Jonas C. Kempton, Warren M. Kempton. Committee of arrangements : Otis Cooper, Reuben Cooper, Daniel R. Hall, Daniel Ryder, Worthen Hall, Barnabas C. Whipple, Cyrus K. Fletcher, John Cooper, Nathan Hall.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

GEORGE WILLIAM DUNBAR.

The first known ancestor of the Dunbar family in America was Robert Dunbar, a Scotchman who, circumstances indicate, was one of the Scotch pris- oners sent over to the Massachusetts Colony in 1652, by Cromwell after the battles of Dunbar and Worcester. It is certain that this Robert Dunbar was the ancestor of the Dunbars of Abington and Bridgewater, if not of all bearing that name in New England. The family has always shown the characteristics which have so favorably distinguished the Scotch people. They are good, law-abiding citizens, with a frugal thrift and industry, a careful economy, and cautious and discriminating judgment in all the affairs of life

Samuel Dunbar was a native of Bridgewater, Mass., a farmer, prosperous and respected, and reared a family there, among whom was Elijah Dunbar, born in Bridgewater April 23, 1759,

graduated at Dartmouth College, studied for the profession of law, and began practice at Keene, N. H., 1790. He was at Claremont from 1797 to 1804, then reopened his office in Keene, was a magistrate, and represented Keene in the Legisla- ture in 1806-08 and '10. He was an officer for many years of the old Cheshire Bank at Keene, and one of the leading members of the Keene bar. He married Mary, daughter of Alexander Ralston, of Keene. His son, George Frederick Dunbar, was born at Claremont, N. H., September 9, 1793. He studied medicine with Dr. Twitchell (a famous physician of Keene, N. H.) and at Dartmouth Col- lege, started practice at Stoddard, but after a short time removed to Westmoreland, where for fifty years he was the leading physician of the town. He married, 1818, Catherine, daughter of Nat Fisk, of Westmoreland. They had three sons and three daughters,-

Mary Ann, married Horace Starkey, of West- moreland, and moved to Cherry Valley, Ill., where she died, leaving two children,-Dr. Horace M. Starkey, a noted physician of Chicago, and Ella M.

Amos T., married Emily Cook, of Boston, had two children ; both died young. He was for many years a merchant in Boston. In 1849 went to Cal- ifornia, had quite an adventurous career and final- ly died there.

George W. (subject of sketch).

Nat F., married Hattie Gregg, an English lady, has one child living, Frederick ; resides at the old homestead at Westmoreland. Most of his life, however, since 1852 has been spent in the Califor- nia mining regions.

Martha F., married Capt. Lewis Webster, of Westmoreland ; has four children,-Jennie F., George D., Florence and Kate ; all are married, and all reside in Dunlap, Morris County, Kan., whither Capt. Webster removed and became the proprietor of a large sheep ranch. He is now deceased, and the widow resides with one of the children.

Laura E., the youngest of the six children, died young.

George William Dunbar was born in Westmore- land, N. H., February 15, 1822. His education was obtained at the common schools of his native town, Keene, and the Academy at Framingham. His early life till his fourteenth year was spent on the farm. He was then apprenticed to Wil- liam Stowits, of Keene, to learn harness-making, and thus his time was employed till his nineteenth year, when a love of adventure led him to embark with Capt Joseph Reynolds on a four years' whal- ing voyage. The cruise did not differ materially from the average whaling voyage in those times ; there were the usual hardships to be endured, the usual hair-breadth escapes; but finally Mr. Dun- bar returned safe and sound to his native land with his curiosity thoroughly satisfied as to the " jolly life of a jack tar."

He then went into partnership with his brother, A. T. Dunbar, in millinery business in Boston. This partnership continued about two years, which brings us to 1849, that ever memorable period, when the prose of life all over the world was eclipsed and for a time rendered irksome by the poetry of the newly discovered gold-mines of Cali- fornia. Mr. Dunbar, like thousands of others, be- came infected with the gold fever, and disposing of his interest in the millinery business, he em- barked on the schooner " Eudora " from Bangor, "around the Cape to California," where, after a tedious voyage, they arrived in September, 1849. He at once sought the mines, and as an Argonaut met with fair success. After nearly two years spent in mining, the longing to see the wife he had left behind overcame the attraction of the shin- ing dust, and he once more sought the granite hills of his native New Hampshire. After a perilous and adventurous trip across the plague-infected Isthmus he reached home, and for a time was en- gaged in the cutlery manufacturing business in Croydon. He soon exchanged his cutlery business, however, for a store, and became a village merchant in Croydon. In 1856 he again sought the land of gold, this time remaining three years and a half. Again his efforts as a gold-seeker were fairly suc- cessful, and once mere returning to New Hamp

shire, he re-embarked in trade in Croydon, where he continued till 1882, when he retired from active business.

Mr. Dunbar married, June 21, 1848, Sarah D., daughter of Elbridge and Hannah (Derby) Dix, of Hubbardston, Mass. They had four child- ren,-

George W., resides at Andover ; Mary A., died when nine years of age; Infant (unnamed) dead ; and Charles D., resides at Roxbury, N. H. Mrs. Dunbar died March 31, 1873. Mr. Dunbar married, as his second wife, Marietta J., daughter of Abram S. and Lydia H.

(Lovering) Philbrick, of Springfield, N. H., Octo- ber 8, 1874.

Mr. Dunbar represented his town in the Legis- lature in the years 1878, '79, '80. He is now town treasurer, and has held that position since 1883. He is deacon of the Congregational Church, and has been clerk and treasurer of the same since the reorganization of the church in Croydon. He has been for a quarter of a century a member of Hiram Lodge, F. and A. M., at New- port, N. H., and is a member of the chapter at Claremont. In political faith he has always been a stanch Republican.

HISTORY OF GOSHEN.

CHAPTER I.

This town was formed from portions of Fishers- field (Newbury), Wendell (Sunapee), Newport, Unity and Lempster, and incorporated December 27,1791.

The act of incorporation provided that the in- habitants of the portion taken from Lempster should continue to pay ministerial taxes to the support of the Rev. Elias Fisher, and did so until said provision was repealed, December 8, 1796.

By an act approved June 22, 1797, the boun- dary lines of the town were established, and the same were in part changed June 17, 1806.

A tract of land was severed from Unity, and annexed to Goshen, July 6, 1837.

The portion of the town taken from Sunapee was first settled in 1769, by Captain Benjamin Rand, William Lang and Daniel Grindle.

The first settlements were made here in about the year 1769, by Captain Benjamin Rand, Wil liam Lang and Daniel Griffin, whose sufferings were very severe. The crops of the first settlers were oftentimes entirely destroyed by early frosts, and it was necessary for the feeble settlement to procure grain from Walpole and other places.

Many accounts are related concerning the suffer- ings of Captain Rand and family. In 1813 the town was visited with spotted fever, which carried off many of the inhabitants.

Church services were first held in this town by Rev. Josiah Stevens, of the Congregational de- nomination, who came to reside in Goshen in about 1798. The Congregational Church was organized February 23, 1802, by Rev. Elihu Thayer. It consisted of seven members. The present pastor is Rev. H. H. Morse. There is also a Baptist Church in the town, Rev. D. M. Cleveland, pastor.

Goshen responded promptly to the call for troops during the late Rebellion, and her record during that struggle is one in which her citizens may justly feel a patriotic pride.

HISTORY OF GRANTHAM.

BY L. D. DUNBAR.

CHAPTER I.

THE first charter for the town of Grantham was dated July 11, 1761, being the second town char- tered in what is now Sullivan County, Charles- town being the first. Owing to non-compliance with the terms of the charter, a second charter was granted in 1767. Upon petition to the General Court by Samuel Duncan, the name of the town was changed to New Grantham in 1788, which name it retained until 1818, when its original name was restored. The town, as originally laid out, was six miles square. About midway through the town, running northerly and southerly, was Croydon Mountain, making a natural division of the town into east and west parts, and upon the top of the mountain was the centre of the town. The boundaries of the town have been very much changed since that time, and the Grantham of to-day is very different geographically from the original Grantham, and much smaller in area, as well as in population.

In 1836 a portion of territory lying in the north- east corner of the town was severed and joined to Enfield. In 1844 a portion lying in the south- west corner was taken off and annexed to Cornish, and in 1858, owing to the inconvenience of doing town business by reason of the mountain dividing the town, all that part lying west of the top of the mountain was set off to Plainfield. The following year a small territory lying between Grantham and Springfield, called the "Gore," which previously had been classed with Springfield for town busi- ness, was incorporated into Grantham, which helped in part to make up for the loss of territory we had sustained, and while not being an adequate

recompense in that respect, it made a pretty little town, containing an area less than two-thirds the original size of the town.

The first settlement in Grantham was upon the west side of the mountain, in 1767. Among the first settlers were Ezra Buswell, Elijah Gleason, Abel Stevens, Francis Smith, esq., Ithamer Bart- lett, Job, Stephen and Caleb Colton, Jonathan Parkhurst, Jabez Bennett, Isaac Jenny, Ebenezer Burr, Rob't and Charles Scott, Samuel, John and Rob't Duncan, William Moulton, Ebenezer Steb- bins, Abner Johnson, Parker Carr, Joab V. Young, Willard Marcy, James Smith and William Hun- tington. These were all prominent and active in town and business affairs during their lifetime, and their descendants have been prominent and in- fluential citizens in this town and elsewhere, many of them being scattered into all parts of the country. Among the second generation from the first settlers and others who have been conspicuous among the inhabitants on the west side of the mountain, I will name Samuel Bean Cyrus Smith, Elias Smith, William C. Smith, Converse J. Smith, Joel Spaulding, Bryant and Asa Janney, Daniel G. Stickney, W. L. New- ton, John P. Chillis, Hiram L. Sleeper, Dan- iel L. and G. W. Smith, Orin T. and John Eaton, W. L. Martin and Nathaniel Wheeler William Johnson, Samuel Davis, Milton Buswell and Samuel C. Moulton. Ezra Buswell, who came to town in 1767, was town clerk, selectman and representative many years; he had a family of nine children, and died at the age of eighty-eight His sons were all capable business men and filled places of public trust in the communities in which they resided. But two of them are now alive,-Oli-
