Jotham Hildreth, whose portrait appears in connec- tion with this sketch, has followed in the footsteps of his father. He was brought up to the same occupa- tions, farming and shoemaking. At agriculture he has done much more than his father, and for many years has been considered one of the best farmers in his town. Brought up in a school of rigid economy, with a full appreciation of the value of labor and money, he has been frugal, industrious, and, as a natural result, successful. He has never married, and his widowed sister now finds a home with him.

Mr. Hildreth has been honored by his fellow-towns- men by being elected to the State Legislature in 1850, and again in 1855. He has been selectman of his town several years, surveyor, etc., and has done more or less at settling estates.

Mr. Hildreth was a Democrat in political creed until some years prior to the war, when he became a Republican, and has affiliated with that party to the present time.

In religion he is a Congregationalist. He has so deported himself through a long and active life that in his old age, he has the happy consciousness of possessing the confidence and respect of his fellow- citizens.

HISTORY OF MASON.

CHAPTER I.

THE town of Mason lies in the southern part of the county, and in bounded as follows : North by Wil- ton, east by Brookline, south by Massachusetts, west by New Ipswich and Greenville.

The township was granted, November 1, 1749, by Joseph Blanchard, as agent for the Masonian pro- prietors, to William Lawrence and others, and was called No. 1 until, in answer to a petition, it was in- corporated with town privileges, August 26, 1768, and given its present name in honor of Captain John Mason, the original owner of that tract of land, known as " Mason's patent."

At a meeting of the inhabitants, June 22, 1768, they voted to have the town called Sharon, but Governor Wentworth named it Mason. The town includes that portion of the town of Townsend, Mass., which was north of the province line as established in 1741. June 28, 1872, the northwest part of the town was set off and incorporated as Greenville.

By the terms of the charter incorporating the town, Obadiah Parker, "Gentleman," was appointed to call the first meeting of the inhabitants as a town. For this purpose he issued his warrant in due form, under date of September 5, 1768, for a meeting to be held September 19th, at which Obadiah Parker was chosen moderator ; Josiah Wheeler, town clerk; Josiah Wheeler. Obadiah Parker and Joseph Bullard, select- men ; Reuben Barrett and John Swallow, constables; Nathan Hall, treasurer; John Asten and Jonathan Winship, tithingmen ; Thomas Barrett, Enosh Law- rence, Jr., Lemuel Spaulding and Josiah Robbins, surveyors of highways; Captain Thomas Tarbell, sealer of weights and measures; John Asten, sealer of leather; Richard Lawrence and Joseph Blood, fence-viewers ; Samuel Lawrence and Joseph Lowell, hog constables; Aaron Wheeler and Oliver Elliott, deer officers. Thus the territory formerly known by the name of No. 1 became legally a town, and, with some additions of territory subsequently made, has remained a town to the present day.

One of the first incidents attendant on arriving at the condition of a town was found to be taxes. To

facilitate the collection of taxes, the town was divided into the west and east sides. This division was made on the road leading from Townsend to the north part of the town, by what was then the residence of Dea- con Nathan Hall. All east of that road and north of the centre of the town on that road belonged to the east side; all west of that road and south of the centre to the west side. A list of taxes was made ont, amounting to £17 16s. 6d. 2q., and committed to John Swallow, constable, for the west side, and a similiar list, amounting to £17 10s. 7d. 1q., was com- mitted to Reuben Barrett, constable for the east side, for collection, by warrants each bearing date Janu- ary 28, 1769.

These documents show who were then inhabitants of the town, and the rate of taxes, and their relative wealth or means. On the west side were Josiah Rob- bins, Ens. Enosh Lawrence, Samuel Lawrence, John Swallow, Isaac Hołdin, William Badcock, William Barrett, Nathaniel Barrett, Jonathan Foster, Stevens Lawrence, Thomas Robbins, Enosh Lawrence, Jr., Aaron Wheeler, Nathaniel Hosmer, John Dutton, Widow Burge, John Elliot, Moses Lowell, Richard Lawrence, Joseph Merriam, David Lowell, David Lowell, Jr., Nathan Whipple, John Jefts, John As- ten, Joseph Barrett, Nathan Procter, Lieutenant Obadiah Parker, Joseph Bullard, Zachariah Davis, Reuben Tucker, Joseph Tucker, Amos Dakin, Thomas Barrett, Joseph Lowell, Benjamin King, Edmund Town, Cornelins Cook and Dennis McLean.

On the east side the names were Captain Thomas Tarbell, Elias Elliot, Jason Russell, Nathaniel Smith, Joseph Ross, Nathaniel Tarbell, Edmund Tarbell, Jonathan Williams, Reuben Barrett, Hannah Elliot (widow), Samuel Scripture, James Weathee, Lemuel Spaulding, Elizabeth Powers (widow), Joseph Blood, Abel Shedd, George Woodard, Jabez Kendall, Oli- ver Elliot, Daniel Fish, Mary Jefts (widow), Thomas Jefts, Jonathan Jefts, Nathan Hall, James Hall, Patience Fish (widow), Eleazer Fish, Ebenezer Blood, Jason Dunster, Joseph Herrick, Jonathan Winship, Samuel Tarbell, Nathaniel Barrett, Jr., John Leonard, Jonathan Fish. On this list I do not recognize any non-residents. The highest tax on this list, and the

highest in the town, was paid by Captain Thomas Tarbell. Of the persons named in these tax-lists, there are many who have descendants now residing in the town, and many of them upon the farms then owned by their ancestors.

As to the places of worship, one of the conditions of the grant of the township by the Masonian pro- prietors was, that the grantees "build a convenient house for the public worship of God, at or before the last day of May, 1753, for the use of those who shall then or afterwards inhabit there." In 1751 a vote was passed to build a house thirty by twenty-four feet: The dimensions were afterwards changed to forty by thirty feet. This house was erected about three rods northeast of the place where the second meeting- house stood. The first house was never finished, but was so far fitted for use that it served for public worship and town-meetings till the second was built, having, by a vote of the proprietors, been made over to the town. The second house was raised in 1789. It was so far finished that it was used for the cere- monies of the ordination of Rev. Ebenezer Hill, November 3, 1790, but was not completed and dedi- cated till November 26, 1795. It continued to be used for public worship and town-meetings till the third house was built, not by the town, but by a religious society in connection with the Congrega- tional Church, in November, 1837, and afterwards for town-meetings till the town-house was built, in November, 1848. It was then sold at auction and re- moved. The Baptist society built a house, but there are no means of ascertaining in what year it was built. It was never finished outside or in, and could not be occupied in cold weather. It was sold and removed in 1812. The brick meeting-house in the village was built in 1827 by a new Baptist society, and has been occupied to the present time. The meeting-house of the Second Congregational Society was built in the village by subscription of individuals, and dedicated in December, 1849. The Christian Chapel was erected in 1835.

was the Rev. Ebenezer Hill. He was born in Cam- bridge in January, 1766, graduated at Harvard College in 1786, pursued his professional studies under Dr. Seth Payson, of Rindge, was licensed to preach October 28, 1788, and was employed by the people of Mason to preach for them early in 1789. His services met with such acceptance that the church and town united in a call for him to be their minister. He accepted the call, and was ordained November 3, 1790. He remained minister of the town till Decem- ber 19, 1835, when he was, at his request, released by the town from the contract on their part. He con- tinued in office as pastor of the church till his death, May 20, 1854, in the eighty-ninth year of his age and the sixty-fourth of his pastorship. In 1791 he bought the farm, and on it, in 1800, he built the house in which, and on the farm, to which he made some additions, he passed the remainder of his days. Upon this farm, with the pittance of two hundred and fifty dollars for a salary, he brought up his numerous family of fourteen children, only one of whom died in infancy. Order, economy, and industry were the rules of his household. Abundance of plain fare, coarse, strong, but decent raiment, were provided for all. Two of his sons graduated at Harvard Uni- versity and one at Dartmouth College. Rev. Andrew H. Reed was settled as colleague pastor with him in November, 1836, and remained till he was dismissed, at his own request, December 11, 1839. Mr. Hill then resumed the pastoral duties of the parish, and performed the labors of the station till August, 1840, when the Rev. Joseph B. Hill was employed to assist him. He was settled as co-pastor October 20, 1841, and remained till April, 1847, when he was, at his own request, dismissed. The Rev. J. L. Armes was settled as co-pastor in 1851, and remained till after Rev. Ebenezer Hill's death.

In 1839 and 1840 he represented the town in the Legislature of the State, but weary of public life, and longing for the quiet of home, he declined further service in that line. From the time of the settlement of Mr. Reed, Mr. Hill continued to devote his life and labors to the business of his sacred calling, as opportunity presented in the neighboring towns, until the infirmities of age, wasting his energies and strength, compelled him to retire, and pass the evening of his life in the quiet of his household and fireside.

The Congregational Church was organized October 13, 1772. It consisted of twenty-one members,-twelve men and nine women. On the same day Jonathan Searle was ordained pastor of the church and min- ister of the town. Disagreements soon arose between him and the church, and between him and the town, which, as time went on, became more perplexing and unyielding. The result was his dismissal by the Rev. Joseph B. Hill, after leaving Mason, took charge of the church in Colebrook, N. H., where he remained ten years, and then removed to West Stewartstown, an adjoining town, and remained in charge of the church in that place five years. In 1862 he purchased a small farm in Temple, N. H., and removed and settled his family there. In March, 1864, he accepted an appointment in the Christian Commission, and in that capacity joined the army, and, with fidelity, industry and zeal, gave himself to church, May 4, 1781, and by the town, August 14, 1781. Mr. Searle was born in Rowley in 1744, and graduated at Harvard College in 1764. He held the office of justice of the peace many years, but did little business as such. Indeed, little in that line in his day and region needed to be done by any one. He died December 7, 1812, aged sixty-eight years. No monument marks the place of his burial. He and his wife were buried by the side of the monument of B. Witherell, his son-in-law. His successor in office | the duties of that office, in the Army of the Cumber-

land, until, at Chattanooga, he met with an accident on the railroad so severe as to terminate in his death, June 16, 1864. Mr. Armes was dismissed, at his own request, May 13, 1857. Immediately after Mr. Armes left, the Rev. Daniel Goodwin commenced preaching for this church, and continued in that employment till he was installed as pastor, April 18, 1860, and remained until 1873. The succeeding pastors have been : Rufus P. Wells, February, 1874, to April, 1877 ; W. R. Tisdale, April, 1877, to April, 1881; H. P. Leonard, July 1, 1881, to present time.

War of the Revolution .- The records of the first town-meeting show that the citizens were expecting and preparing for this conflict, and when war actually came they were ready to meet it. Captain Benjamin Mann, with his company, marched to Cambridge and joined the patriot army, and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill, in which one of his company, Joseph Blood, is known to have been killed, and one other, Ebenezer Blood, Jr.,1 was probably killed, as he was never heard of after that day. His name is not found on the roll of the company. Undoubtedly he joined it only on the time of the battle as a volunteer. The evidence of his service and fall in the fight rests only on tradition ; but that has been uniform and uncon- tradicted. Ninety-one inhabitants of the town served in the army or navy in the War of the Revolution, most of them on behalf of the town, but some for other towns or places, as follows :

S. Chambers, Deacon Amos Dakin, Zachariah Davis, Joshua Davis, Henry Dunster, John Dodge, Amos Dakin, Jr., Jason Dunster, Jr., Isaiah Dun- ster, Zebulon Dodge, Oliver Eliott, Asa Emerson, David Eliot, Deacon Andrew Eliot, Abijah Eaton, Jonathan Foster, Simon Fish, Isaac Flagg, Jonas Fay, Jonathan Foster, Jr., Nathan Foster, Ezra Fuller, James Gordon, Reuben Hosmer, Timothy Hodgman, David Hodgman, Joseph Hodgman, Joseph Herrick, Jr., Joseph Hodgman, Jr., John Hurl- bert, Zacheus Hodgman, Amos Holden, William Hosmer, Job Hodgman, Ilenry Ilall, John Hall, David Hall, Nathan Hodgman, Josiah Hurlbert, Amos Herrick, Joseph Lowell, Jr., Timothy Lowell, Joseph Merriam, Ezra Merriam, Benjamin Mann, Abraham Merriam, Aaron Mossman, Silas Merriam, Abraham Merriam, Jr., Ephraim Nutting, Whitcomb Powers, Joseph Ross, Jason Russell, Joshua Richardson, Lemuel Spaulding, Sam- uel Smith, Samuel Scripture, James Scripture, Rev.

The number of inhabitants of the town was about five hundred ; so that nearly one in five of all the in- habitants of the town, including men, women and children, old and young, took part in the strife of the battle-fields. It is impossible to make out, with any satisfactory certainty, the amount of pecuniary bur- dens borne by the citizens in that war. That their

energies and means were taxed to the utmost is appar- ent, and that the demands upon them were promptly met is also shown by their records ; but the fact that all the sums paid and burdens borne are not fully re- corded, and the more important fact that after the 1777 the currency was continually depreciating, ren- der it hardly possible now to ascertain what was the true value of the sums assessed and paid as taxes. In this war the town was united in the prosecution of the contest. There was but one Tory in the town, and he was soon driven away. His property was con- fiscated, and his land sold by the authorities of the State, and he ended his days in Groton, his native place, in poverty and wretchedness. No State in the Union was so thoroughly loyal to the patriot cause and so free from Toryism in those days as the State of New Hampshire, and no town in the State was more patriotic and unanimous in prosecuting the war to the end than the town of Mason.

War of 1812 .- In the War of 1812 a very different state of feeling existed in the town. Many thought the war was needless, and that it was brought on not by any worthy cause, but by party management. The politics of the town, as indicated by the choice of representatives in the years 1811, '12, '13, '14 and '15, showing a change from one party to the other each successive year, prove that the parties were very evenly balanced. The only call for soldiers from the town was made by the Governor for the defense of Portsmouth.

War of the Rebellion .- The War of the Rebellion found much less unanimity of sentiment among the people of the town than that of the Revolution; but still a very decided majority was in favor of support- ing the " old flag," and in this majority was to be reckoned a large number of the Democratic party. The purpose to make the burdens and expenses of the military service a common charge upon the town was very generally resolved upon and acquiesced in. The whole number of men from this town was one hun- dred and twenty-one. The amount of money paid by the town for bounties and hiring soldiers and other expenses of that war was $26,474.44, as follows :
