MARSTON FAMILY.
Three brothers came from England, and settled at Hamp- ton, N. H. The family of Marstons in Deerfield sprang from Daniel, the son of one of these brothers. Daniel took part in the French and Indian war. Tradition says he was an officer. The history of his life is rather obscure ; he led a seafaring life ; the following account of his death is still preserved in his family Bible ; " Deceased in ye year 1757 in the month of November a Friday at ye eleventh about eight of the clock in the evening, at Harvord in the Prov- ince of the Mearesityes Eraged, at the house of John Tay-

lor Innholder. Aged 50 years. Buried a Sunday at the burying place at the meeting house." This old Bible is still in the possession of the Marston family (costing twenty-four pounds, old tenor). He had four sons ; two of these, Simon and Robie, settled in Deerfield. After the decease of Dan- iel, his wife married a Mr. Godfrey : and at her second wid- owhood went to live with her son Simon. She lived to be one hundred and one years of age. Her onc-hundreth birthday was celebrated by a prayer-meeting at the house ; her daughter-in-law, eighty years of age, rode on horseback from Hampton, and reached there in season for the meeting. Simon married Hannah Wedgewood of Hampton : he dis- posed of the home place and came to Deerfield in 1765, and bought the farm now owned by the Marston family. The farm had been cleared in part, and a garrison-house erected on the place some years previous ; this was the first house built in Deerfield. This place was owned, first by a Leavit, for about six months ; he sold the place to Jonathan Long- fellow, who paid for it with slaves ; the ring to which he had tied many of his trembling slaves when he whipped them for their faults has been preserved, and is placed in the barn now standing on the place. The garrison-house was very long and wide, but very low, containing three large rooms and two smaller sleeping-rooms ; it was of hewn tim- bers, and the rooms were ceiled at the top and sides, except the kitchen. It had previously liad a stockade of timber, enclosing a large yard ; a lookout was placed upon the top of the house for the purpose of firing upon the Indians ; the gate was fastened upon the inside by a heavy iron bar. It had sheltered many a family, in time of danger, from the Indians. At one time, a family living in the vicinity of Rand's Corner, by the name of Batchelder, were forced to flee here ; the family consisted of the husband, wife, and two children. One bright, moonlight evening, while the husband slept, and the wife sat by the fire knitting, she heard a noise in front of the house ; she hastily covered the

fire, put out the light, and awakened her husband. In a few moments, a noise at the door proclaimed that the In- dians were about the house. Knowing that it would be folly to attempt to defend their home, they wrapped the youngest child in a feather bed, and, seizing the gun, they made their way from the back of the house to the forest, and, sheltered by its trusty shade, made their way through the tangled underbrush to the garrison-house. When they reached there, the wife was overcome by cold and fatigue, and fainted at the door. Their own dwelling was destroyed ; but they found a safe shelter here, with several other fami- lies who had suffered in the same way. Simon was short of stature, but carried himself very erect, and acted in the capacity of a lawyer in settling disputes among his neigh- bors ; he was tenacious of the right, and had a lawsuit for seventeen years with Gen. Butler, about the so-called Butler field, and finally won the suit. The first stone wall ever built in this town was on this place, running on the high- way east of the house. It was in this enclosure that he was sowing wheat when news was brought of the battle of Lex- ington ; he left his measure in the field, rushed to the house, filled his knapsack with pork, seized his gun, and started for the field of action; he reached Boston in season to par- ticipate in the battle of Bunker Hill, and acted in the ca- pacity of an officer ; he received the appointment of captain in a battalion commanded by Lieut .- Col. Senter, and after- wards rose to the position of major ; he was in the battles of Bennington, Ticonderoga, and others.
Simon had five sons : Asa, the eldest, inherited the home farm ; Simon and Jonathan settled in Monmouth County, Me. ; David engaged in shipping between North Carolina and New York; Daniel manufactured musical instruments, and, after amassing quite a fortune, died at Havana, Cuba ; he had six daughters : Catherine married a Ballou; Han- nah, a Prescott ; Hitty, a Clough; Molly, a Dearborn ; Sophia, a Pike ; Sally remained unmarried. All the mar-

ried daughters settled in Maine. Simon, on a visit to Hampton, died very suddenly at the age of seventy-two. Sally lived with her nephew, Eben, and died at the age of ninety-one. All the history of the family was handed down by her ; showing her to be a woman of remarkable ability and memory. Asa married Betsey Shepherd, and, eighty- seven years ago, built the house that now stands upon the place ; he had six children : Eben, the eldest, inherited the home farm ; Patty married Dudley D. Blake of North wood ; Daniel and Asa went to Salem, Mass., engaged in traf- fic, both foreign and domestic, and, by industry and in- tegrity, havc amassed quite a large fortune ; they are both living; Asa is unmarried ; Daniel married Hannah Fry of Salem, and had two daughters, one of whom married George Reed of Boston ; she died, leaving one child ; Bet- sey was unmarried, and died in 1867, aged sixty-four ; Han- nah is unmarried, and still lives on the old homestead ; Eben married Lydia Dearborn ; he was very popular among his fellow-townsinen, and served several years as represen- tative for the town ; he was captain of the Washington Blues of the Eighth Infantry ; he had eight children : two died in infancy ; David, the eldest, died at the age of twenty-one; Lizzie, who is unmarried, lives on the old place ; Susan married Algernon Willis, and lives at Clare- mont, and has one child ; William married Lella Irwin of Springfield, Ill. ; he has three children, Robert, Laura, and Ella ; he is a banker in New York City ; Charles is unmar- ried; he resides in New York, and is a stock broker ; Laura resides on the home place.
Robie Marston, son of Daniel, came from Hampton to Deerfield, and settled on the place now known as Marston Hill, near the close of the French and Indian war. Thc whole country was then a wilderness, and he, in common with other early settlers, endured many hardships and pri- vations, but he lived to see the town incorporated and a large family grow up around him, and himself hold many

positions of honor and trust in his adopted town. He mar- ried Hannah Drake, and had a family of three sons and five daughters. Of this family, Nathaniel married Patience Knowlton of Northwood, where he lived and died. Daniel married Betsey Maloon, and removed to Maine, where he resided until his death. Abagail married Daniel True, and lived in Loudon. Sally married a Fielding, and lived in Deerfield. Polly married James Towle, and lived in Pitts- field. Nancy married William Coffin, and lived in Deer- field. Gen. Samuel Marston was born at Deerfield, March 21, 1782. He obtained a better education than was com- mon among the young men of his time, and, while a young man, was regarded as one of the leading citizens of the town. In his youth, he exhibited a passionate love for mil- itary exercises, and mastered all the works on military science which he could obtain. In this manner, his knowl- edge of military tactics became so extensive that, when he entered the militia, he was rapidly promoted, until he reached the rank of brigadier-general, and became one of the most efficient officers in New England. Gen. Marston, with other military officers of that time, believed that the best defense of the country was a well-trained militia ; therefore he labored industriously to infuse order into the state troops, and make them a well-drilled and efficient force. He married Sally Robinson, and resided on Mars- ton Hill until his deatlı, which occurred in January, 1861. His widow survived until 1870. The following is a brief account of their descendants : -
There were five sons and five daughters. Thomas was born October 8, 1801. He began the study of medicine at Woodstock, Vt., where he wrote an essay, which was pub- lished, and for which he was awarded a prize.
