was justice of the peace ; he had three children, two daugli- ters and one son ; one daughter, Hannah, married a Mr. Tenney of Chester; the second remained unmarried ; the son, Meshech, married Meribah Green of Deerfield, and had one son, and a daughter ; the latter, Meribah, married George Brown of Deerfield, and is now living in Wiscon- sin ; the son, Gardner M., married Abigail Young of Gil- manton, and lives in Deerfield, having three sons : Albert M., who married Annie Palmer of Deerfield, and lives in Nottingham ; Charles D., who married Emma Hill of Gil- manton, where they reside ; and Frank J., living with his father.
The venerable mansion where the first president of the State of New Hampshire, under the new constitution of 1783, lived and hospitably entertained the distinguished men of that stirring period - patriot warriors and not less patriotic statesmen - remains much as when he left it, save the inevitable corrodings of winds and storms, shaded by the majestic elms whose growth was watched by the eye of the sage of Hampton Falls. It is an inspiriting relic of another epoch. Not long before her death, his daughter, Mrs. Porter, delighted the writer with the narration of pleasing anecdotes of her father, and incidents in his noble life, while passing through the spacious halls, calling atten- tion to the broad-spreading antlers of a deer suspended on the wall of the grand reception-room, and other relics that were prized by her father. While in the large room whose walls were covered with paper imported from England, nearly a half-inch thick and nailed to the wall -" Here," said she, " is where my father used to consult with Bart- lett, Langdon, Poor, Cilley, Dearborn, and all the leading generals and statesmen of his day. Many an hour has been passed here in the social dance and under the excite- ment of the jovial bowl. These were the only relaxations from business allowed my father."
This structure ought to be preserved to perpetuate the

memory of one of the noblest men the state can boast, and where the patriot pilgrims from all parts of the state may kindle anew their love for republican institutions bequeathed to us by such nien as Weare and his coadjutors of Revolu- tionary times.
