WEARE FAMILY.
The Weare family came early into this country. Peter was probably the first who came. He resided in Newbury, Mass., and there died, October 12, 1653. His son Nathan- iel removed subsequently from that town to Hampton. His son Peter was born in Newbury, November 15, 1660, and appointed a councilor of New Hampshire in 1698. It is believed that Nathaniel Weare was the son of Peter and the father of Meshech Weare, so distinguished in the early history of New Hampshire. This Nathaniel Weare had four sons and eight daughters. Meshech was the young- est of the sons, born at Hampton, June 16, 1713. He graduated at Harvard College, in 1735, and soon de- voted himself to the service of the public ; he died Janu- ary 15, 1786.
Prior to 1776, New Hampshire was under various forms of government. In 1623, a few families of fishermen and planters lived under the government of the Company of Laconia, through agents, from time to time sent out. In 1638, Portsmouth, Dover, and Exeter formed, each for itself, voluntary associations, Hampton being under the ju- risdiction of Massachusetts. Three years later, all these were taken into the protection of the Bay State, whose County of Norfolk was made to extend from the Merrimack River to the Piscataqua, and this continued until 1680, when

HISTORY OF DEERFIELD.
Charles II. established a royal government, and in the fol- lowing year John Cutts and Richard Waldron were ap- pointed presidents, followed the next year by Edward Cranfield as lieutenant-governor, who was also sueeeeded, in 1685, by Walter Barefoote as deputy-governor. In 1686, James II. established a general government over what was then called New England, over which he appointed Joseph Dudley president, and in the following year Sir Edmund Andros was appointed governor. In 1689, Andros was de- posed, and New Hampshire chose to be again united with Massachusetts on the terms of the old charter. John Usher served as lieutenant-governor, though Sammuel Allen was commissioned as governor, without taking the ehair. In 1697, William Partridge was appointed lieutenant-governor, but the next ycar Allen discharged the duties of governor, and restored Usher as his lieutenant. But the following year, Richard, Earl of Bellemont, governor of New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, served with William Partridge as his licutenant-governor, and three years later, Joseph Dudley served as governor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with Usher for lieutenant, and they re- tained their position until 1715, when George Vaughan was appointed lieutenant-governor. The next year, Samuel Shute served as governor of Massachusetts and New Hamp- shire. In 1717, John Wentworth was appointed licuten- ant-governor, and when Shutc, in 1722, left for England, Wentworth became commander-in-chief. In 1727, William Burnett beeame governor of Massachusetts and New Hamp- shire. The next year, Jonathan Beleher received a similar appointment, and the following year, David Dunbar was appointed lieutenant-governor, and returned to England in 1737.
Benning Wentworth was appointed governor, without a lieutenant, in 1741, and continued in that office for twenty- five years. He was a native of Portsmouth, and a descend- ant of Elder William Wentworth of Dover. Lieut .- Gov.
489
HISTORY OF DEERFIELD.
John Wentworth was born June 16, 1672, and had fourteen children. The first was Benning. He was councilor from 1732 to 1741, when he became governor, the first after the establishment of the boundary lines of the state.
Benning Wentworth was succeeded by John Wentworth, in 1767. This John was the son of Mark Hunking Went- worth, who was a brother of Gov. Benning Wentworth. He came to this office when in the prime of life. He was enterprising, easy in his address, and highly popular with the people. He was fond of agriculture, and cultivated a plantation in Wolfeborough, where he built an elegant house. By his example, he stimulated other landholders to cultivate the wilderness with great zeal.
In 1775, the province of New Hampshire ceased to be under British control, and the same year a Provincial Con- vention was formed, of which Matthew Thornton was made president. In the following year a temporary constitution was adopted, which was to continue until the close of the war with England, and, under this, constitution, Meshech Weare was annually elected president, until 1784.
In 1784, a new and permanent constitution was organ- ized, under which, Mesliech Weare was elected president ; but, exhausted by protracted public services, and enfeebled by increasing infirmities, he resigned his office before the expiration of the year, and died January 15, 1786, aged seventy-three. His public services extended througli a pe- riod of forty-five years. He was chosen speaker of the House in 1752, and commissioned to the congress at Albany in 1754 ; afterwards, one of the justices of the superior court, and, in 1777, chief justice. Dr. Belknap says : " He was not a person of an original inventive genius, but had a clear discernment, extensive knowledge, accurate judgment, calm temper, a modest deportment, an upright and benevolent heart, and a habit of prudence and diligence in discharging the various duties of public and private life. He did not enrich himself by his public employment, but was one of

those good men who dare to love their country and be poor." It is evident that he was justly entitled to some lit- erary reputation, as, in 1782, he was clected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This election was gracefully announced by the corresponding secretary, Rev. Joseph Willard, president of Harvard College.
President Weare married, for his first wife, Elizabeth Shaw of Hampton Falls. She heired the cstate where they resided, which contained about three hundred acres of land. She was a highly cultivated lady, and was greatly esteemed for her many excellences. She died October 30, 1745, aged twenty-four years. Their children were Samuel, who died December 30, 1802, aged sixty years, and Mary, who mar- ried a Mr. Russell of Haverhill, Mass.
President Weare married, for his second wife, Mehitable Wyman of Haverhill, Mass., a lady of much refinement and gentility ; she died November 20, 1787, aged sixty-two years ; their children were : Nathan, who died April 18, 1798, aged fifty years ; Thomas Wyman, who left Hampton Falls and resided in the vicinity of Philadelphia ; Redford, who died April 17, 1807, aged forty-five; Elizabeth, who married Maj. Joseph Dow of Kensington, and dicd July 12, 1813, aged sixty-four; Dow died in 1829, aged eighty- three ; Hannah, who was born in 1754, married John Por- ter of Hamilton, Mass., and died on the homestead, Feb- ruary 1, 1849, aged ninety-five ; Porter died September 19, 1847, aged seventy ; Richard, who was in the Revolution- ary army, died ncar Albany, N.
