It is said that in the old age of schoolmaster John Sullivan, when he and his wife were calling at a neighbor's, they got to talking about his younger days, and he told the following story, "which was recorded by the person who heard it:
I sailed from Limerick, Ireland, for New England in 1723; owing to :stress of weather the vessel was obliged to land at York, Maine. On the "voyage my attention was called to a pretty girl of nine or ten years, Margery "Browne, who afterwards became my wife. As my mother had absolutely refused to furnish me the means for paying transportation, and I had no means otherwise, I was obliged to enter into an agreement with the captain to earn the money for my passage.
After I landed at York, for a while I lived on the McIntire farm in Scotland parish. Unaccustomed to farm labor, and growing weary of man- ual occupation, I applied to Rev. Dr. Moody, pastor of the parish, for assist-

ance. I made my application in a letter written in seven languages, so that he might see I was a scholar. He became interested in my behalf, and being conversant with my ability to teach he loaned me the money with which to pay the captain the amount I owed for my passage. Thus set free from the McIntires, I was assisted to open a school and earn money to repay Dr. Moody.
This story, told by Mr. John Scales of Dover, is published in the Proceedings of the New Hampshire Historical Society, IV., 194. Its source is not declared. We know not who wrote down the account, nor when it was written. Some unknown neighbor probably told this story many years after the alleged event. It is neighborly gossip, or unsupported tradition, and there is direct evidence to the contrary, as we shall see.
It seems incredible that a girl nine years of age came from Ireland to Maine unattended and with no money to pay her passage. What was she doing while John Sullivan was making shingles to redeem her? Where was she from 1723 to 1735, the asserted time of her marriage? How happens it that John Sullivan, said to have been of a well-to-do family in Ireland, had to depend upon an unwilling mother for money to pay his passage? He was thirty-two years old in 1723 and must have had some money of his own. What were the seven languages that he knew well enough to compose a letter in them? That is what few eminent scholars can do. He knew English well enough to misspell many words. He seems to have known Latin better, and we may suppose he was acquainted with Irish. Some have supposed that he lived in France as a boy and learned French like a native, but his obituary says that he learned French in his old age. Those seven languages belong to the story of the Three Black Crows. All traditions concern- ing John and Margery Sullivan are as unreliable as that she, on the passage to America, when asked what she was going there for, replied that she was "going to raise governors for thim." That story must have been invented after her sons, John and James, had become governors. No record of the mar- riage of John Sullivan and Margery Browne has been found, and there is no tradition where they were married, nor by whom. Testimony is conflicting in the Sullivan family. One grand- daughter reports the tradition that "John Sullivan was born in
394
APPENDIX
Dublin, Ireland, in June, 1691. Margery Browne was born in Cork, Ireland, 1705. They were married immediately previous to their leaving for, or during their passage to this country."5
So we are told that he was born in Limerick, Dublin and Ardea, and she came over with him as a girl of nine years, or as his wife at age of eighteen. We are reminded of the remark of Mark Twain, that, when he wrote history, he did not like to know too much about the facts, for it hampered his imagination.
Now, what are the ascertained facts in the life of school- master John Sullivan, as found in trustworthy records? With some research the following have been gathered.
A communication was published in the Oracle of the Day, a newspaper of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the issue of June 30, 1795. The communication was dated at Berwick June 27th, 1795, and is unsigned. It says :
Died-at Berwick on Saturday the Twentieth of June instant Mr. John Sullivan of this Town, Schoolmaster, aged One Hundred and Five years and three days.
This respected and extraordinary character was born in the village of Ardea in the County of Kerry and Kingdon of Ireland. He arrived in this country when he was forty-one years of age, from which time till he was ninety he was most part of his time employed in teaching public and private schools; and perhaps but few persons ever diffused so much useful knowl- edge, etc., etc.
The rest of the letter is irrelevant to our purpose. It con- tains the statement that he learned French in his old age. The entire obituary may be seen in Amory's Family of John Sulli- can, pp. 51-53, although Amory was uncertain about the date of the communication. The above dates are taken from the files of the newspaper, found in the library of the New Hamp- shire Historical Society.
He was born, then, June 17, 1690 and died June 20, 1795. He came to America when he was forty-one years old, that is, in 1731, not in 1723. At that time Margery Browne, if she was born in 1714 as most authorities agree, was in her eighteenth year ; and if she was born in 1705, as one line of family tradition has it, she was twenty-six years of age. We think that the date, 1714, is more reliable, but in either case she was old enough

to be the wife of John Sullivan when they came over. If they were married in 1735, he was not waiting for her to grow up, and it is a wonder that she waited for him four years after their arrival. Girls of her age were in demand at that time.
We now come to a series of historical facts that go to prove that John Sullivan, the schoolmaster, lived at Somersworth, now Rollinsford Junction, from 1736 to about 1747. The old Somersworth church stood in or close by the cemetery that is seen very near to the railroad station. John Sullivan was janitor of that church in 1737. Our facts are here arranged chronologi- cally.
Dec. 6, 1736. John Sullivan witnessed a deed from Thomas Tebbetts of Somersworth, New Hampshire, to his son, Thomas Tebbetts. Joshua Stacpole was the other witness. The prop- erty transferred was part of a saw in Quamphegan saw-mill, at what is now South Berwick, Maine, and Rollinsford, N. H.6
July 10, 1737. Deed of Ebenezer Downs of Somersworth to Thomas Downs of land in Rochester, witnessed by John Hall, Jr., Joseph Varney and John Sullivan.7
July 12, 1737, John Sullivan witnessed a deed from Daniel Smith of Berwick to Gersham Downs and Thomas Downs, Jr. of Dover, of land in a new township adjoining Berwick. The other witness was Daniel Moulton .- York Deeds, XVIII., 359.
1737. The parish of Somersworth voted "sixty pounds for a schoolmaster. Voted that Mr. John Sullivan be the school- master for the ensuing year. Voted John Sullivan to sweep and take care of ye meeting house & to have thirty shillings."8
Jan. 10, 1737/8. Deed of Thomas Tebbetts of Somersworth to son, Thomas Tebbetts, of land bordering on land of Philip Stacpole, witnessed by John Sullivan.9
July 20, 1738, Thomas Tebbets and wife Elizabeth convey to John Vickers one acre in the parish of Summersworth on the road that "leads from Stacpole Brook to Summersworth Meet- ing House & next adjoining to Ensign John Tebbets land."

had it inserted in the Boston Evening Post of July 25, 1743, beseeching him to return to his sorrowing wife and children. She says, "I pray you to harken to what your pupil, Joshua Gilpatrick, hath below sent you." Joshua Gilpatrick's letter does not appear. See Amory's Family of John Sullivan for the letter in full. It must have brought him home immediately, for his son, James Sullivan, later governor of Massachusetts, was born April 22, 1744.
Oct. 20, 1744. Deed of Daniel Clements of Somersworth to Job Clements, of land bounded partly by land of Rev. James Pike of Somersworth, witnessed by Ebenezer Roberts and John Sullivan.14
July 22, 1746. The muster roll of Capt. Thomas Walling- · ford of Somersworth shows the name of "John Sullevant" among IOI others. He must have been a resident of Somers- worth in order to have been enrolled in the militia. These were not volunteers, but all of military age residing in the parish.15
The evidence seems to be conclusive that schoolmaster John Sullivan lived in what is now Rollinsford, New Hampshire, from 1736 to 1747 and that consequently his sons, Benjamin, Daniel, John and James, were born there. The evidence is equally conclusive that he moved over into Berwick, Maine, about 1747-8, as the following citation shows :

Then sold to Joseph Nock all my Right, title & Entrest, that I have to all my Loggs in Salmon fall River, or on the Land joyning to the Said River, or Lying by any of the mills on Said Stream, Mark'd with a girdle on the Side of the Logg, and an N on Each end of the Girdle, which Logs thus Mark'd the Said Joseph Nock may hall, Saw, Sell, Carry away or Convert to his own proper use or dispose of as he Sees proper, as his own absolute right and property.

Here we have positive proof that John Sullivan was living in Berwick in 1748.
The original paper, or instrument, in the handwriting of John Sullivan, appears in the bundle of court files, and as given here the spelling is made to conform to the original. Notice "Entrest" for interest, "hall" for haul, "Loggs," and the irregu- lar use of capitals. Surely his English was not up to the present standard of schoolmasters and makes one distrust that he was a master of seven languages.
March 2, 1750. A bond was written and witnessed by John Sullivan, in York County, Maine.17
1751, 1752, 1754. Samuel Bracket of Berwick, Maine, sold various things to "John Solevent" and balanced accounts with him Oct. 10, 1754 .- Id.
1753. "John Sullivan of Berwick" brought action in New Hampshire Court against Ebenezer Downs of Somersworth and recovered £35 s6, wages for his sons, Benjamin and Daniel. Benjamin had worked from July 29th to Aug. 16th, 1752, and Daniel had worked seven days at Mowing. The work was evidently done on Ebenezer Downs' farm in Somersworth, which was on the Indigo Hill road, within a mile of Great Falls, the present city of Somersworth, just across the river from where John Sullivan then lived in Berwick. His son Daniel was then only fourteen years old, pretty young to be hired out as a mower with a scythe.18
Jan. 23, 1753. The bounds of Samuel Lord's farm at Ber- wick were renewed, and forty acres were set off to John Sulli-

van. Sullivan probably had been living there since 1748 or 1747, at least five years.19
April 8, 1754, John Sullivan signed a petition from North Berwick parish.
April 29, 1756. He witnessed the will of Peter Grant of Berwick.
Where was schoolmaster John Sullivan before he came to Somersworth to teach, in 1736? There is something in the above cited letter of his wife that may hint at an answer. She says Joshua Gilpatrick was a pupil of her husband, or had been a pupil. Where? No such surname appears in New Hampshire at that time, but there were plenty of Gilpatricks in Biddeford, Kennebunk and Wells, Maine, descendents of Thomas Gilpatrick, who settled in old Saco, now Biddeford, about the year 1720. The records of the first church in Biddeford say that Joshua Gilpatrick married Elizabeth Smith, March 1, 1750, and he wit- nessed the will of John Davis of Biddeford, May 9, 1752. It may be, then, that John Sullivan before settling in Somersworth taught school in Biddeford or vicinity. A search of the town records of Biddeford, Kennebunk, Wells and York, and of records at Alfred, Maine, might add something to what is known of schoolmaster John Sullivan.
In 1915 a bronze tablet was erected as a marker, by the John A. Logan Women's Relief Corps, No. 76, near the place where schoolmaster John Sullivan lived the remainder of his life in Berwick. The marker declares that his sons who served in the American Revolution, Daniel, John, James and Ebenezer, were born here. That is doubtless true of Ebenezer, born in 1753, but Daniel, John and James were born in Somersworth, in the vicinity of Rollinsford Junction, and it would have been more accurate to have said upon the marker, "on this farm were reared" his sons, etc. Seven cities claimed to be the birth- place of Homer. All cities and states are proud of their great sons. The writer of this, in his History of Durham, N. H., stated that General John Sullivan was probably born in Ber- wick. The consideration of the above evidence convinces him that the general and governor of New Hampshire, as well as James Sullivan, the governor of Massachusetts, was born on

New Hampshire soil. I am a native of Maine and am sorry to part with the honor, but the stubborn facts compel me to acknowledge the error. This duty is made easier by the knowl- edge gained that my ancestors were near neighbors of the Sulli- van family, that probably lived between Rollinsford Junction and the bridge at South Berwick. My great-grandfather may have been a pupil of the schoolmaster, John Sullivan.
