Mrs. Elizabeth ( Meader) Mor- rison, Oct. 13, 1791 (Woodman). She had m., Ist, - Woodman ; m., 2d. Samuel Morrison (near Tin Corner). As his two oldest children are said to have been born in Epping, he probably made a brief settle- ment there, his first on leaving Newbury, and did not reach Sanbornton before 1774, though he was here in 1776 to sign the " Association Test." He was the first to settle. and always lived on the present farm of Rufus Ilowe, Lot No. 27, 2d Div. ; was an athletic man, and is said to have " carried the ring" at wrestling on the day of the raising of the first meeting-house. He never owned a wheeled vehicle, only a sleigh in winter; but possessed two saddle horses, and was himself an expert rider. At one time he could ride and see at least six of his children, all settled in Sanbornton with large families, in a single day (now, 1878, only one grandchild and one great-grandchild of his remain in the original town). Ile also made the journey on horseback to Andover in 1806. to seenre the services of Mr. Bodwell. His wife was the first woman that ever rode in a wheeled carriage north of the old meeting-house. Her father and mother had come to visit their chil- dren (Rev. Mr. Woodman and Mrs. E.), had spent Saturday night at Mr. W.'s, and on Sunday, after meeting, were about to repair to Mr. Emery's, when the mother was afraid to ride with her husband, on account of the roughness of the road, and he took in his daughter (Mrs. Emery) instead. He was received into the Congregational Church, April 9, 1775. llis name often appears upou church and town committees, and, being justice of the peace, he seems to have
