Sellingham.
SELLINGHAM.
The Sellingham families of this town are representatives of a group of emigrants that made a commendable record, and have an interesting history. They were Protestants, from near the Rhine, in Germany. They did not emigrate to New England at one time, but immediately after 1750 several families were living in and near Boston, Mass. Their imperfect knowledge of the English language and other reasons, at once apparent, encouraged them to settle in one community. The town of Lexington, Mass., possessed one thousand acres of land in the town of Ashburnham, Mass. By a deed, bearing date of December, 1757, they purchased the Lexington Grant and divided it into farms among themselves. This section of the town is known to the present time as " The Dutch Farms."
The original grantees were Henry Hall, Christian William Whiteman, Jacob Schoffe, Simon Rodamel, Peter Perry, John Rich, and John Kiblinger. Immediately they were joined by other emigrants from the same locality in Germany, who settled near them in the same township. The added names are Jacob and Henry Sellingham, Andrew Windrow, Henry Stack, Jacob Constantine, Jacob Barkardst, John Oberlock, Philip Vorback, and Jacob Wilker. They were educated, intelligent people, thrifty in business, zealous in the support of schools, and good substantial citizens. They had fled from tyranny in their native land, and were prompt in a rational resistance of oppression in any form. In all the elements of patriotism they were trained and ripened for the Revolution, and during the war they contributed their full proportion in service, sacrifice, and treasure. From the first, they were received in good fellowship, and they bore their share of the burdens of muni- cipal affairs.
