RICHARD MARSHALL married Esther Pierce, and came to Bradford probably with Josiah Melvin before the year 1787. He bonght the land and cleared most of the farm where Cummings Pierce now lives, and re- mained on it twenty years.

In 1787 he owned the land on the south side of the road that leads up the hill from C. Pierce's and Melvin on the north side. He afterwards bought a lot at the top of the hill in Warner and built a house on the edge of that town, southeasterly from where the old buildings of Nathan R. now stand. This house was probably afterwards moved down to Na- than's, but the site of the old house can still be traced. "Bill" Sargent may have lived first in that house, or possibly north of Nathan's, near the old well at the side of the road. He lived in that im- mediate neighborhood before Marshall did. The last years of his life he lived in a small house close to Nathan's. His children were :-

Richard, who spent most of his life in Massachu- setts, but died in Bradford; has no descendants in town.

Esther, married Josiah Melvin.

Sarah, married Asa Sargent, of Warner.

Nathan Richardson Marshall, son of Richard, born

June 10, 1792, probably in Bradford, purchased his father's farm and maintained his parents in their old age. He married Abigail Hawks, of Bradford. He was intelligent, thoughtful and progressive. He examined into the claims of phrenology and became a believer in its doctrines. He was a methodical and systematic farmer; a subscriber to and reader of Hill's Farmers' Visitor for many years. He kept a daily journal for half a century. He and his neighbor, C. Pierce, were the first farmers in that locality to substitute hot coffee for rum in the hay and harvest-field and at "huskings." He and his wife were patterns of in- dustry, economy and kindness toward neighbors, and the world is better for their having lived.

Before he gave up work he left the old homestead and fitted up a comfortable residence, where his daughter Esther and her husband, John H. Collins, now live. A neat monument marks their last rest- ing-place, not far from the house, at the foot of the Goodwin Hill. She died March 11, 1867. He died December 6, 1872.

HISTORY OF MERRIMACK COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

VIII. Joseph Addison, born July 7, 1826, married, first, Mariette C. Page; second, Sarah M. Chapman. He first settled on the old homestead, his father moving over to his new place on the Henniker road. After the death of his wife he left the farm and engaged successfully in trade in Suffolk Market for several years. He was in a large wholesale business with his brother, J. P., on Congress Street, Boston, on the site of the new city post-office, and was burned out there in the great fire of 1872. The husiness was afterwards carried on in John Street, lastly under the firm-name of Marshall & Blanchard. Ill health has compelled him to retire from active business.

While living in Bradford he was several times a member of the Board of Selectmen. He died in Brad- ford, July 12, 1885. His last work was to make ont the list of soldiers from Bradford, in the late civil war.

IX. Luella, born March 22, 1828; married Edwin M. Bailey; lived at Mill village; died October 23, 1854, leaving two daughters, Georgia and Florence.

X. Farrington Hawks, born August 23, 1829; mar- ried a Miss Farrington, and resides in Boston, where for several years he has been a wholesale dealer in country produce. They have three children,-Walter, married, lives in East Boston ; Minnie and Fred.

JOSIAH MELVIN came to Bradford before the year 1787, at about the same time with Richard Marshall, whose daughter Esther he married. Their farms, east of Bradford Pond, were adjoining. But Mr. Melvin's fame was acquired not as a farmer, but as a miller. He owned and operated the grist-mill at the Mill village for several years, living in the house since owned by Samnel Jones. He removed just over the town line into Warner, and bought the grist and saw-mills that had been built by Lieutenant Hoyt and owned by Simmons and others, and run them successfully many years, instructing his five sons in the same business; all have tended those mills, and they well deserve the name Melvin's Mills, in honor of which the post-office and railroad station are named. To every one who knew the "Old Judge," as he was latterly called, the sight or men- tion of his name will bring up a crowd of pleasant memories. Since the death of Nathan Melvin the mills have changed owners several times, and have worn rather a doubtful, not to say dilapidated, look. But they are all right now. In 1884 the old mills came into the possession of Weare Tappan, youngest child of Josiah Melvin, and he has renovated every- thing from the dam foundation to the saddle-boards; new outsides, new insides. The hand of the master is there; the mills are good for another century at least, and they will add ten per cent. to the comfor and health of the neighborhood for miles around. From the old family Bible, Miss Ellen M. Straw, of Claremont, N. H., a granddaughter of Josiah, kindly furnishes the following record of the family, giving no other particulars only dates of births:

1. Esther, born October 11, 1795.

2. Richard, born October 5, 1797.

3. Mary M., born December 19, 1799.

4. Sarah P., born June 25, 1802.

11. Weare Tappan, born June 22, 1820.

Richard Melvin was the only one of Josiah's children who settled and remained in this town. He was a miller by trade. He built the house now owned and occupied by Parker S. Whitcomb, near the Cheney bridge which spans the Warner River, within one-third of a mile of his father's mill. He married Betsy Straw. Their children were,-

1. Proctor Darling, born November 5, 1817; rail- road builder and contractor. Married, March 25, 1845, Harriet, daughter of David Bagley, and settled at Melvin's Mills. He died March 4, 1865.

BRADFORD.

(born July 8, 1768). He removed from Hillsborough to Antrim, where he remained about a year ; then, in 1820, he removed to Bradford, and settled on the farm near the "pond," where he died. Several fam- ilies, among whom was that of George Maxfield, had lived on the farm. Richard Marshall cleared most of the farm, and lived on it twenty years. The main front of this farm lies along on the east side of the Henniker road, from the land of Frederick Cheney to that of J. H. Collins. Extending easterly, the farm includes the north end of Massasecum Lake and a part of Guiles' Hill. Probably no other farm in town has such a variety of landscape scenery and soil. Its sheep pasture on Cheney's Hill and its noted and far-famed blueberry patches at the top of Guiles' Hill all overlook the Lake Massasecum and the great val- ley on the west. Its soil embraces every variety from the strong, disintegrated granite of the hill-sides to the fine sand of the pine land and the rich intervale and cranberry meadows along the "pond brook." Before the country was settled by white men, this region was a favorite resort of the Indians. Several of their concave fire-places, lined with stones and con- taining bits of charcoal, have been found on this farm.

Curiously-wrought stone implements have also been plowed up near the lake, such as axes, gouges, mortar-pestles and flint heads of arrows and spears. Tradition says that a moose was slain at the brook below the barn by Deacon Presbury, the first settler in town.

Mr. Pierce's children were as follows:

I. Nathan, born August 15, 1787 ; married Abigail Graves, of Washington. During the latter years of his life he lived on the farm first occupied by T. L. Dowlin. He had two children,-Benjamin Franklin and Cynthia. The former lives in Stoughton, Mass .; the latter married Leonard Jameson, and lives on the farm.

II. Susan, born May 23, 1792; died September 13, 1797.

III. Mary, born July 12, 1794; died unmarried.

IV. Cummings, born December, 1796; died Decem- ber, 1801.

V. Susan, born February 7, 1799; late in life she became the second wife of Enos Collins, of Warner. She was a tailoress by trade, and for many years she worked in families, cutting and making men's and boys' clothes. She worked for twenty-five cents a day and board, and usually worked fourteen hours a day. She was very economical as well as industrious, and out of her earnings she purchased the farm for her brother, Nathan ; also the lot and house where she died, now (1885) occupied by Charles Burrill. She possessed a vigorous intellect and clear moral perceptions. She was a warm advocate of emancipation, and for many years a subscriber to Garrison's Liberator. She was also a free and fearless thinker and speaker on religious subjects and a reader of the Boston In- vestigator and Free Religious Index. On giving up

work, she gave her property to Parker Whitcomb for the support of herself and husband during the re- mainder of their lives. She died January 8, 1873.

VI. Daniel, born July 17, 1801; married and lived in Eden, Vt .; died August 26, 1848.

VII. Cummings, born May 22, 1803; married, February 14, 1833, Caroline Dowlin, of Bradford, and lived on his father's farm, taking care of his par- ents. He has been, for several years, one of the se- lectmen of the town. He has been one of the earliest risers and most industrious and frugal of farmers, and consequently he has been very successful and pros- perous. His children are,-

1. Lucetta, born May 12, 1838; married John Her- bert Ewins, of Warner, farmer.

2. Anna, born August 18, 1849; married Freeman H. Gillingham, of Bradford, who carries on the Pierce homestead.

VIII. Stephen Chapin, born November 4, 1807; married Martha, daughter of Enos Collins, of War- ner, and first settled in the Timothy Flanders house at Melvin's Mills. He was a skilled mechanic and an ingenious inventor. He has had some very nar- row escapes from making a fortune. His inventions have made other people rich; but thus far he has steered clear of such worldly incumbrances. He has been through life a "free thinker" on theological subjects. He has one son, Daniel, a mechanic, who lives in Warner.

NATHAN PIPER, of Hopkinton, married Hannah Smith, of Bradford, and for a time lived in Bridge- water, N. H. They came to Bradford about 1808, and bought fifty acres of wild land on the west shore of Bradford Pond. He was a carpenter by trade and built the house where his son Trueworthy now lives. He also framed most of the houses in that locality. He died in 1821, in the thirty-ninth year of his age. His wife was over ninety-six years of age at her death, and was the oldest person in town. She died in 1877. Their children were Trueworthy, born in Bridgewater, N. H., in 1805; (he took care of his parents and in- herited the homestead); Sally, born in Bradford in 1809; Keziah, born about 1812, died about 1814; Henry, born 1816.
