JOHN LAMSON. - Rev. Dr. Lamson was requested to furnish facts respecting his ancestors. Instead of arranging them in our usual form, we shall give the entire letter ; otherwise its simplicity and touching allusions would be lost. REV. MR. COGSWELL.
DEAR SIR: New Boston is a name which revives the earliest and most cherished memories of my childhood. It was the home of my grandparents, and of my father during his childhood and early youth, and the place where I passed the larger portion of a year when quite a child. Having no family records, and being the only descendant of the family living in this part of the country, I can only give such general statements as linger in my memory.
My grandfather was John Lamson, his wife was Elizabeth Rea, of Tops- field. What year they removed to New Boston I am unable to state, though it is my impression it was soon after their marriage. He was for some years an innkeeper, and I think pursued some other branch of business. They had five children, John, Benjamin, Betsey, William, and Joseph. These all lived to be over twenty years of age, and all died under thirty. My father, William Lamson, came when a lad to Danvers, Mass., and was ap- prenticed to Mr. Caleb Oakes, a shoe manufacturer. Soon after his majority he was married to Sally Richardson, of Danvers. They had three children, Betsey, William, and Joseph. After his marriage, my father became master of a small trading vessel, which ran between Salem, Mass., and Baltimore, Md., and it was on one of the return voyages that, overtaken with a terrific gale, he and his vessel and all on board were lost. This was when I was in my third year. A year afterwards my mother, with her three children, went to New Boston, and passed a year with my grandmother, then a widow, and childless, having lost four of her children by consumption, and my father by shipwreck. It is almost incredible to myself that, after a lapse of nearly fifty years, I retain so vivid a recollection of the scenery of the place, and of many of the circumstances of my brief residence there. It seems to me, if I were an artist, I could sketch a very faithful outline of the build- ings on the old Lamson place there, as they thien were. The names of the families in the neighborliood I still remember. The Sabbaths, the general appearance of the old church, and of the congregation, come back to me, as I write, with a strange vividness. There were then but few, if any carriages in the town, and a large portion of the people, both men and women, came to church on horseback. My mother used to take me on the horse with her. There it was that I received my first impressions of the sacredness of the Sabbath, probably there that I for the first time attended church.
But how great the changes since the days I am now recalling! I have now been for twenty-eight years a preacher of the gospel, and have outlived nearly every member, if not every one, of the family on my father's side. My grandmother lived to hear me preach one sermon, the first I ever
431
preached, and died shortly afterwards, in Danvers. My sister Betsey was married to Mr. Allen Jacobs, of Danvers, and died a year after her marriage, leaving an infant that survived his mother but a few years. My brother Joseph went some twelve years since to California, where, if living, he still is. I have been blessed with one son, an only and noble child. Soon after the opening of the present war he entered the service of the country, in the paymaster's department, and on the fourth of last August was drowned by the burning of the steamer Ruth, on the Mississippi River, between Cairo and Memphis. In his death perished the only hope of perpetuating the family name. His body sleeps in the Harmony Grove Cemetery, Salem, Mass.
I am glad to know you are preparing a memorial volume of the town of New Boston, the first century of whose history has just closed. If you can use this, or any portion of it, it will give me pleasure to have thus contributed to place the names of my ancestors among the names of those with whom they once lived.
Very respectfully yours,
BROOKLINE, MASS., 1864.
WILLIAM LAMSON.
