About the year 1856, by a mutual arrangement, the town took charge of the academy building and lot, enlarged and repaired the house, and continue to occupy more than half of it, while the trustees hold possession of two rooms on the first floor. This mixed ownership is not so desirable for either party con- cerned, and it is to be hoped that at some future period each party may become independent and be able to have a house upon its own premises. Still, with its meagre funds this school has been a great benefit to many, of the young people of Kingston. It has afforded them opportunities to continue their ed- ucation in branches which they could not study at the common schools.

I have not space to name here the prominent men who have studied in this institution. The list of teachers contains the names of many well-known public men. Ex-Governor Noyes has been named. Thomas W. Knox, the famous author of books of travel, and various others might be named.1

HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Bachiller, landed in Boston in June, 1632, at the age of twelve years. They removed to Lynn, and in 1638 to Hampton, where he married Mary, daughter of John Tuck, by whom he had ten children. The youngest, Benjamin (2), born Dec. 20, 1668, married (1) Sarah - , married (2) Widow Margaret Moul- ton (daughter of Robert Page). I am not sure that he ever settled in Kingston, but it seems that his brother Jonathan (?) settled in the east part of the town, and that Tristram (3), son of his oldest brother, John, was a prominent business man, often in office, living in Kingston, on the Exeter road, where his de- scendants still remain. Rev. Peter Sanborn, of Reading (D. C. 1786), was his grandson, and Moses Sanborn, Esq., a well-known business man, was his great-grandson.

Nathaniel Sandburn is supposed to have been an older brother of Benjamin, born 1666, who married (1) Rebecca Prescot, and (2) Sarah -, and had a large family. He was in 1695-96 town clerk of Kingston.

There was among the early settlers a John Sanborn, who married, 1706 or 1707, Mehitable Fifield, and had Tristram, born 1710, Abigail, and Paul, born Feb. 21, 1714-15. Also a Samuel Sanborn, and a Capt. Jonathan Sanborn, who died in 1741, and Jonathan Sanborn, Jr., whose families I have not the time and space to describe.

Gershom Elkins, a citizen of Hampton in 1680, may have been father of Moses Elkins, the first deacon of the church in Kingston. Gershom Elkins was se- lectman of Kingston in 1695, and is often named in the records till after 1721.

Henry Elkins was slain by the Indians in 1708.

Moses Elkins, from Hampton, came early to Kings- ton ; married, Nov. 17, 1701, Amiah Shaw, and had seven sons and four daughters. The second son, Oba- diah, born in 1708, who in 1731 married Abi French, and had Jacob, born in 1734; Obadiah, Jr., born in 1741; Peter, born in 1746; and Joseph, born in 1751.

Deacon Moses Elkins was chosen at the organiza- tion of the church in 1725. He died suddenly, May 10, 1737, on returning from the funeral of his pastor, Rev. Ward Clark.

Joseph Elkins (supposed), bis eldest son, was chosen to fill his office in December, 1737.

When seven years of age he was taken captive by the Indians and carried to Canada. When his father redeemed him, it is said, they demanded a higher price than for his companions, because he wore a better bat and better clothing than they did. He became a |

successful business man, and Stevenstown (now Sal- isbury ) was first named for him. His sons were (1) Eb- enezer, Jr. (Capt. Ebenezer Stevens), born in 1739 ; (2) John, born in 1770; (3) Moses, born in 1771; Peter Colcord, born in 1773; Paul, born in 1775. Col. Stevens died July 19, 1800.

Of his father, Maj. Ebenezer Stevens, who died Nov. 1, 1749, it is said " he was a very distinguished and useful citizen, and such was his integrity and be- nevolence that differences among the people were sub- mitted to his decision with perfect confidence. He sustained many important functions, and discharged every duty with ability and faithfulness."

Capt. Ebenezer Stevens (eldest son of Col. Ebenezer Stevens), born in 1739, married, first, in 1760, Sarah Emerson ; second, Sarah Stevens, and had twelve chil- dren,-Samnel, the eldest, born in April, 1761, and the youngest, a daughter, born in 1805. Capt. Stevens was chosen deacon in 1787.

The family was numerous, and sent out settlers into Chester, Candia, Gilmanton, Sanbornton, and many other towns.

The following professional men have been natives Por citizens of Kingston. In 1705 the town voted a lot of land to a Dr. Dale, but he probably did not remain long.

One Simeon (or Simon) Brown, in 1739 a citizen of Kingston, is supposed to have practiced medicine here at an early date ; and a Dr. Abraham Green was living in Kingston in 1746. He died in 1751.

The Hon. Josiah Bartlett, M.D., was perhaps more widely known than any other citizen of Kingston. He was great-grandson of the emigrant Richard Bart- lett (1), who came to Newbury, Mass., in 1635, and died in 1647. His son, Richard (2), born in 1621, died in 1698, leaving a son Richard (3), whose sixth son, Stephen, born in 1691, was the father of Dr. Josiah (5), born in Amesbury, Mass., Nov. 21, 1728, who married Jan. 15, 1754, his cousin, Mary Bartlett, of Newton, and had twelve children. In 1750 he settled in Kingston, and soon acquired celebrity by his suc- cessful treatment of the throat distemper, so prevalent

and became very popular and influential. In 1776-78 he was a member of the Continental Congress. He is said to have been the first man who signed the Decla- ration of Independence. His biography may be found in the first volume of "The Lives of the Signers of the Declaration," etc. He was the first Governor of New Hampshire. For near ten years he held the office of chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas or of the Superior Court. He died May 19, 1795, aged sixty-five years.

His eldest son, Dr. Levi Bartlett, born Sept. 3, 1763, succeeded him in practice and became for many years

an active politician. After his death, in 1828, his son, Levi S. Bartlett, born in 1811, inherited the homestead and continued the practice of medicine till his death in 1865. He married Aroline E., daughter of Moses | 1857. Sanborn.

From the settlement of the town till 1775, or later, the obstetric art was practiced by a class of experi- enced matrons whose names are not in the records.

The Gale family for three generations furnished physicians for Kingston and vicinity. Dr. Amos Gale, Sr., practiced more than forty years, and Dr. Amos Gale, Jr., a popular and influential man, had an extensive practice, and was for twenty-three years town clerk. He was born in 1756, and died in 1824. His sons, Dr. Levi B. Gale and Dr. Ezra B. Gale, fol- lowed him, the latter continuing in practice till his sudden death, which was on the Sabbath in the church. In 1844 he was chosen deacon. He was called " The Beloved Physician."

Dr. Thomas Bassett commenced practice here about 1827, Dr. G. W. Sanborn in 1856, and Dr. T. O. Rey- nolds in 1870.

Kingston has sent out quite a large number of phy- sicians. Dr. Josiah Bartlett had a second son, Josialı, born in 1768, who practiced in Stratham, and Ezra, born in 1770.

Dr. Amos Gale, Jr., had five sons, all physicians,- Levi B., and Ezra B., above mentioned, and Dr. Amos Gale, of Manchester; Dr. Josiah B. Gale, of Lowell ; and Dr. Madison Gale.
