GENEALOGIES.
GLINES II.
WILLIAM GLINES, familiarly known as "Old Cartnap" lived near the river on the "Colony," where there were, perhaps, a dozen houses built or removed hither by the owner of the land. Here dwelt the hewers of wood and the drawers of water, the woodsawyers and wash- erwomen for the village. William drifted in among them after the Revolutionary War, from whence, I am unable to learn.
He had been through not only. the fatigues of the long march and the bloody fray, but the still more distressing exhaustion of the prison pen. Worn out beyond repair and unable to provide for his own and his family's needs, they dropped into the inevitable, let us hope without a thought of what "might have been." Too indolent to work out his taxes he was content to lie under the cart by the roadside and let others do it for him, and thus secured for himself the sobriquet which ever after clung to him and his posterity.
I find among early records that he m. Polly Moloney Dec. 23, 1823, perhaps a second wife.

GLINES III.
WILLIAM GLINES, known as "Miller" Glines, may have been a rela- tive of others bearing the name. He m., Feb. 27, 1777, Elizabeth Williams of N. They were employed by George Hancock, Sr., to run his mill, which was built before the Revolutionary War on what was called the Holmes Dam, and was called "The Old Hancock Mill," the first one on the river. The site is now occupied by the Elm Mills Woolen Company. Mr. Glines had charge of the sawmill above, where he sawed the logs, and, it being two stories in height, his thrifty wife tended a gristmill below, where she was reputed to have made better flour than was made for miles around and to have lifted the bags of corn about with the utmost ease. They were people of con- siderable means and when he shut down the sawmill and went to fight his country's battles she remained at her post of duty and with much praised liberality gave weekly of her stores to assist such poor families as were deprived of their customary support. They had three dau.
Mr. Glines owned land in the vicinity of the mill and sold in 1796 to Benjamin Glines for $260 two tracts of land, each a part of Gospel lot No. 9, one of 76 and the other of 40 acres, that he bought of Simeon Sanborn. In 1806 Benjamin Glines sold this land to John Molony for $200.
Gospel Lot No. 9 included all the swamp land at the mouth of the brook, the Colony and present fair ground and plains.
