Thinking the section undesirable he started upon his return, when in passing through this town he came to the place afterward owned by Oren E. Farr and there decided to settle, building his log-cabin slightly to the northwest of the present buildings. Mrs. Lois Stevens died March 27, 1803, and

TANDY
1. RICHARD1 TANDY, or Tande, was of Worcestershire, in the west of England, a Welshman. In the battle of Flanders he received a wound which crippled him for life; left the army and learned the trade of a weaver of broadcloth. One day he and nine other young men were invited on board a man-of-war, to dine with the captain, which was considered a great honor, but after dinner were surprised to find themselves far out at sea. When they came to Boston Richard managed to escape and found refuge with a Mr. Allen of Dorchester, whose daughter Mary he eventually married .* Children, b. in Dorchester, or Gloucester,+ Mass .:

This "warning," it may be pointed out, was a legal form often used in early days of New Hampshire and Vermont settlements and was not necessarily prejudicial to the standing of the family in- volved.
3. ABEL2 TANDY (Richard1) m. Nov. 5, 1751, Rachel Smith, sister to Ezekiel Webster's first wife .* The statement that he settled in Salisbury immediately after his marriage comes in doubt, as the baptisms of five of his children, as well as the marriage of Abel and Rachel, are registered in the Vital Records of Kingston (Hammond). With no attempt to trace Abel's ancestry, Dear- born says: "Accompanied by two brothers (he) emigrated from Scotland . .. He was a powerfully built and muscular man," a description filled by Parker, the Goshen pioneer. Evidence from other sources seems sufficient to justify Abel's inclusion among the sons of Richard1, as above, with the assumption that a Welshman and a Scotchman were not too dissimilar in the minds of Dearborn's informants.

HISTORY OF GOSHEN, N. H.
the first eight years after their removal to Goshen, or until 1796, they had lived in the log-house built for them by Daniel Grindle, when the new frame-house was so nearly completed that they moved into it just before the twins, Asenath and Parker, were born early in July. Said Rev. Lorenzo Tandy:
"Our Grandparents had a comfortable home in Kingston where there was good society and religious privileges; and they were respected so much as neighbors and peace-makers that their friends offered them quite a sum of money if they would give up the idea of moving away and remain. But he had been to Goshen and made arrangements to move and, thinking he would have more room for a growing family and could do more good and was more needed in a new place than in an old town, he was unchanged in his purpose. Hence he came, not by rail- road, there being none in the country then, but probably with an ox-team.
"The Baptist church in Goshen was organized in Grand- father's house in June, 1803, and he was elected its first Deacon and Uncle Enoch White's father was clerk of the Council. As they had no meeting-house the Sabbath meetings were usually held in Grandfather's house and he was a consistent and zealous supporter of the Baptist cause while he lived, honoring the office he held till the day of his death. He was a man 'of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom.' When his departure drew near, being one day in the field, in feeble health, with his son James, while resting in the shade at noon, he distinctly heard angelic music and clearly discerning the tune, Northfield, and the words, "There is a land of pure delight," he chimed in with his own voice and sang the hymn to the end. If it had not been for Grandfather and his children and grandchildren and great- grandchildren, we do not see how there could have been a Bap- tist church in this town. God grant that succeeding generations may be equally faithful." James, a Baptist deacon of unblemished repute, was executor of his father's estate in 1825.

TANDY
1. SAMUEL TANDY m. Rachel Philbrick; removed from Raymond in early years, to the south part of the town, toward Washington. Although having little in common with the Dea. Parker Tandy line, relationship unquestionably existed through Samuel or Abel, sons of Richard1. For physical characteristics see p. 136. A legal advertisement in the N. H. Spectator, dated April 13, 1825, gave notice that Samuel Tandy of Goshen, signing by mark before Arrouet Gunnison and Silas Thompson, relinquished all rights to the services of his sons, James, "a minor under 21 years of age," and Hiram Tandy. Four or five years later Samuel and Austin Tandy were being assisted by the town. Tradition recalls a Sam Tandy who was killed by a fall from, or in, his barn. Children:
i. RACHEL? "of Deerfield;" m. Edward Young, who was b. in Stoddard, 1797; resided in G. some years after marriage. Children, b. in G .: 1. James T. Young, b. May 28, 1830. 2. Hiram C. Young, b. Nov. 10, 1831. 3. Sarah H., m. Geo. S. Jefts of Washington .*
ii. HIRAM, b. 1803 ?; m. Effie Smart of Nottingham; d. in G. Nov. 17, 1882, aged 79. Child: Hial, b. April 16, 1837; d. Nov. 27, 1886.
iii. JAMES, as above.
SAMUEL TANDY,+ b. Dec. 4, 1785; m. Subint H. (Submit?) -, was b. Aug. 15, 1795? and died Aug. 8, 1886. He. d. Nov. 4, 1872; both buried at Corners cem. Children (partial list):
* Hist of Washington.
+Because of conflicting details it has been considered best to separate the Samuel Tandy records here. For one thing, wives' names are different, although a second mar- riage is not ruled out. It will also be noted that the births of children indicate two distinct families, separated by a matter of twenty years, or so.
