that town. The territory which he took up extended along the sea coast from what is now Straw's Point to Philbrick's Beach. Hannah, the wife of Francis, died in 1700; their children were : (1) Hannah, born 1673, married Edward Locke ; (2) Hezekiah, born 1675, married Ann Foulsham, 1693 ; (3) John, born 1678, married, first, Hannah Foss, 1702; second, Mary Mason ; (4) Ellinor, born 1681, mar- ried James Berry, 1700 ; (5) Mehitahle, born 1683, married Deacon Matthias Haines, died 1768; (6) Richard, born 1686, married Mary Dow, 1710.
After the death of his first wife, Francis married, in 1701, at the age of seventy, Salome, widow of John White. Mr. Jenncss died in 1713, aged eighty-two. His youngest son was the ancestor of those of the name with which we have to do in this sketch. He was born in 1686, and in 1710 he married Mary Dow, daughter of Simon Dow of Hampton, and settled near the homestead, which in a few years afterwards fell into his hands. This Richard was known as Capt. Richard Jenness. He became an extensive landowner, being a sagacious business man. In 1726, the territory formerly known as Sandy Beach, and which had been a part of Newcastle, was incorporated into the distinct parish of Rye, and Capt. Richard Jenness was chosen its first representative, and continued to represent the town for nearly forty years. He was an active and efficient member of the Provincial Assembly, and was a decided friend of Gov. Benning Wentworth. Large tracts of land in the New-Hampshire province were given away at various times to associations who had influence with men in author- ity. This Jenness obtained many a rich tract of land for a nominal consideration in the townships of Chester, Barn- stead, Barrington, Epsom, Gilmanton, Canterbury, Chiches- ter, and Nottingham.
" Two tracts acquired by him in Nottingham were located within the present limits of Deerfield. One of these, con- taining seventy-eight acres, was bought of Andrew McCleary

of Epsom, in 1751, being part of the original right of Jabez Joslyn. This tract was situated in the north-east part of the present Deerfield, close to Nottingham, and was sold by the captain's grandchildren, after his decease, to Josiah Morris of Epping. The other tract was purchased by Mr. Jenness, in 1743, of Joshua Pierce of Portsmouth, mer- chant, for the nominal consideration of £50, old tenor. It is described as two hundred and twenty acres in lot No. 19, first range; being part of the original right granted, at the laying out of the town lands, to one Clement Hughes." These are parts of same lands on the Deerfield South Road which have since been held by his descendants.
This Richard Jenness died in Rye, in 1769, aged eighty- five, leaving ten children : (1) Sarah, born 1711, married Mr. Marston of North Hampton ; (2) Mary, born 1712, married Joshua Weeks of Greenland ; (3) Hannalı, born 1714, married Joseph Lock of Rye; (4) Francis, born 1715, married Sarah Garland ; (5) Richard, born 1717, married, second, Widow Abigail Sleeper ; (6) Ruth, born 1718, died before her father ; (7) Simon, born 1720, imbe- cile ; (8) Jonathan, born 1721, died young ; (9) Samuel, born 1724, married, first, Abigail Garland ; second, Widow Eliza Shapley ; (10) Joseph, born 1727, married, first, Mary Dow, 1750 ; second, Widow Parker of Lynn.
To Richard, his fifth child, he gave lands, -a farm at Breakfast Hill, and lands in Gilmanton, Canterbury, Bar- rington, and Nottingham ; and these Nottingham lands led his descendants to Deerfield, carved out of Nottingham subsequently. This Richard took his father's place in the House of Representatives from Rye, until the Revolution. He was for many years the magistrate and justice of the peace for the town, long acting as conveyancer and an attorney and counselor-at-law. He ardently espoused the cause of the colonies, and died in 1782. He, like his father, was a sagacious man of business, and, by enterprise and judicious investments, acquired a large estate. He

added to the lands given him by his father, in Deerfield, so that, at his death, he had nearly a thousand acres, with no small improvements upon them. In 1767, the present South Road was laid out, running through the center of his estate. This Richard Jenness, Esq., was married about the year 1745, in the twenty-ninth year of his age; his children by this marriage were: (1) Richard, born 1747, married, first, Betsey Berry ; second, Hannah Seavey ; (2) Thomas, born 1748, married Sarah Yeaton ; (3) Simon, born 1751, married Olive Shapley ; (4) Elizabeth, born 1753, married Enoch Burbank ; (5) Levi, born 1756, died young, and unmarried ; (6) Anna, born 1759, unmarried.
By his second wife, Widow Abigail Sleeper, daughter of Tristram Coffin, whom he married in 1759, he had: (1) Jonathan, born 1760, married Abigail Garland ; (2) Benja- min, born 1763, married Martha Seavey.
Two sons of this Richard Jenness, Esq., Richard and Thomas, about 1769, entered the South Road, as managers of their father's estate. Some years later, their brother Jonathan settled near tlie center of Deerfield.
Richard and Thomas erected a log house on the South Road, near where Thomas afterwards built a dwelling- house.
Richard, in 1770, married Betsey Berry of Greenland, and, 1785, he and Thomas erected large and handsome resi- dences on the South Road, about half a mile apart. Here they both reared large and interesting families.
Judge Richard Jenness, as he was long known in his lifetime, held many and responsible offices. Besides minor appointments, he was elected delegate to the several state conventions held during the Revolution, and of the con- vention to organize the state government at its close ; he served often as a member of the House of Representatives, and four years as senator for the second district ; and, in 1809, was promoted to the bench of the court of common pleas, where he presided, with honor to himself and to the

satisfaction of others, until 1813. He died July 4, 1819, aged seventy-three.
Thomas, son of Judge Richard Jenness, was born in 1772, his mother being Betsey Berry, the first wife of his father. He was educated at Greenland Academy, and mar- ried, 1794, Deborah, daughter of Peter Sanborn, of Deer- field, and began housekeeping in the dwelling since de- stroyed by fire, nearly opposite the South-road cemetery. Here he carried on an extensive potash manufactory. In 1802 he erected a new house opposite the homestead. A tannery was established ; hop-fields were set out ; in 1812 the manufacture of saltpeter and of linseed oil was at- tempted, and a country store in the vicinity of the dwelling- house was established, long known as the " Old Red Store." Thomas Jenness died in 1836, at the age of sixty-four, leaving six sons, John, Peter, Richard, Thomas, Benning W., and Horace ; and five daughters, Betsey, Annah, Ma- tilda, Deborah, and Sarah.
The " Old Red Store " was where most of the sons of Esq. Thomas served apprenticeships. A country store in those days was a great institution. It became the great center of attraction as well as a trading-post. Men of leisure, story-telling men, political men, trading men, and drinking men resorted thither ; while buxom girls and talk- ative women were no strangers. Products of the farm, of the wheel and loom, were here brought to be exchanged for the nameless articles which might be found in any country store ; and, saddest of all, at every such center of trade might be had, without stint, New-England and West-India rum. " An eminent merchant of Portsmouth used to affirm, that one-half the primeval forests of New Hampshire were thus in a few years converted into ardent spirits." The scen- ery by which this place is encircled is of " marvelous beauty. The eye reaches to the eastward over broad and gently un- dulating lands, as far as the Po Hill in Andover, thirty miles away; on the south rise the lofty Raymond hills ; on the

north the forest-clad Tuckaways ; and on the west the blue Saddleback range encloses the picture. From the South- road ridge the fertile fields fall slowly away on either hand to the dark ravine below, and rise again on the opposite side, dotted with farm-houses and gleaming with spires, waving with herd's-grass and grain, and the deep-green In- dian corn, or sliaded by the remaining patches of the primeval forest, until far away the peaceful scene is merged in the grandeur of the eternal mountains. Over the ridge, along which the South Road winds its way, a pure, salubri- ous air is meantime fanning, bringing health and vigor on its wings." To this point tended, for pleasure or for business, multitudes from Raymond, Candia, Allenstown, and other " parishes; " and here the Jenness sons fitted themselves for business, and laid the foundation of their almost unequaled fortunes.
(1) John began in the " Old Red Store," and for a while had an interest in a store at the Parade; after a few years he removed to Portsmouth, became an extensive importer, then removed to Boston, enlarging his business, and becoming extensively engaged in banking operations. He died about 1867, aged about seventy, leaving an estate worth a million of dollars.
(2) Peter also began at the same "Old Rcd Store ; " afterwards removed to Portsmouth, engaging extensively in mercantile business. He married Sarah True of Deerfield, and had five children : Mary; Sarah, who became the wife of John J. Pickering of Portsmouth ; John; Annie ; J. Horace, who lives in New York ; he married Carrie Deming of Paris, France.
Peter Jenness was president of a bank in Portsmouth, and by energy and forecast amassed great wealth, nearly equal to that of his brother John. He died, 1865, aged about sixty-six.
(3) Richard, at the age of eighteen, became a clerk in the " Old Red Store," under his brother John. He traded

a while at the Parade, and, September 23, 1823, married Miss Caroline McClintock ; the same year acted as aid-de- camp to Brig .- Gen. Bartlett of Nottingham at the grand reception given at Concord to Gen. Lafayette.
In 1827 he removed to Concord, and in 1829 to Ports- mouth, where he engaged in the hardware trade, built up an extensive business, and amassed a large fortune. He retired from mercantile business in 1856, devoting himself for several years afterwards to banking interests.
Mr. Jenness was chosen representative to the legislature in 1838 and 1840; was appointed navy agent in 1848 by President Polk ; was chosen state senator in 1849 and 1850, being elected to the presidency of the Senate the latter year. Mr. Jenness devoted his energies to business, and studied finances rather than politics. He gave$ 5,000 for the schools of Deerfield, to indicate an affectionate attachment to the home of his childhood, and his interest in the cause of edu- cation. Mr. Jenness departed this life on the second day of February, 1872, aged seventy, leaving an ample fortune, which was not the product of any accidental or fortunate speculation, but the natural result of a life of ceaseless industry, guided by a sagacity which rarely failed, and an integrity which never faltered. Few men pass a long life so free from those stains which mar, and those foibles which obstruct, success, as Mr. Jenness.
He left a wife and four children : a son, John S. Jenness, Esq., a prominent New York lawyer ; and three daughters : one, the wife of Elbridge Gerry, Esq., a lawyer residing in Portland ; the second, the wife of Dr. Emil Richter of Portsmouth ; and the third, the wife of Hon. William T. Hamlinton, United-States senator from Maryland.
(4) Thomas had an experience like the preceding brothers, in the home store; then went to Bangor about 1833, and became an extensive dealer in hardware ; married Mary True of Deerfield, sister of the wife of Peter Jenness; had two children : John S., who graduated at Cambridge, 27

and afterwards, in 1864, went into business with his father, and continues at Bangor ; and Sarah, who became the wife of Judge James Rawson of Bangor.
Mr. Thomas Jenness died about 1864, aged about sixty- three. His widow still lives in Bangor.
(5) Benning W. was born July 14, 1806 ; in 1823 he began business as a merchant in Strafford, where he continued for thirty years, serving as postmaster for fifteen years, repre- senting repeatedly the town in the lower branch of the state legislature, and holding the office of high-sheriff in old Straf- ford County for over five years. Subsequently he became probate judge, which office he resigned after five years, and was appointed to the Senate of the United States, to fill out the unexpired term of the Hon. Levi Woodbury, who was appointed to the supreme court of the United States. In 1850 he was a member of the constitutional convention to revise the constitution of the state. Mr. Jenness has always preferred business to politics, and in 1862 he removed to Cleveland, O., and engaged in the lumber business, in which he had had much experience in Strafford. He has been connected with others in building several vessels, one of which bears his own name, used for carrying lumber and trade from Buffalo to Chicago, capable of carrying three hundred and thirty thousand feet of lumber.
Mr. Jenness was married, in 1827, to Miss Nancy Shack- ford of Strafford, who died May 25, 1868, leaving two daughters : Ellen E., who became the wife of Ezra K. Palmer of Boston, and has one daughter, Mary, now the wife of J. Ross Dubbs, a lawyer in Indianapolis, Ind. ; and Annie M., who married Augustus W. Merwin of New York, and has two daughters, Annie and Mary Jenness. Judge Jenness married, for his second wife, Miss Mira J. Wood- man, daughter of Joshua Woodman, Esq., of Strafford, and they have one child, Bessie.
(6) Horace went to Bangor about 1835, engaged in lum- ber business, and died about 1865.
