THE HERSEY FAMILY.
The first ancestor of the Sanboruton Herseys in this country was doubtless William, of Hingham, Mass., 1635 ; admitted freeman, 1638, and member of the artillery company, 1652. Had a son William; m., 1656. Name also written on the Hingham records "Hersie," " Har- sie," and " Hearsey." One of this family early moved from Hing- ham to that part of Exeter which is now New Market, having first explored the country for the purpose of cutting ash and oak timber, as he was a carpenter or cooper. He afterwards took up land, and set-

tled there, in company with the father or grandfather of Nathaniel Burley (see). Ilis immediate descendant (probably grandson) was :
1. JAMES! HERSEY, of New Market, who in. Jemima Burley, a sister of Nathaniel and his brothers, who moved to Sanbornton (see p. 58 [7]]). He met with an accident which resulted in the loss of his leg, and afterwards of his property, so that he was unable to com- plete the edneation of his sous, as he had commenced with the oklest. His children were all b. in New Market, one of whom he followed to S., and here d., April 27, 1804. Children :
2. JAMES [12], b. Jan. ( ?), 1746 (?).
3. JONATHAN, b. June (?), 1747 (?) ; settled in Wolfeborough; m. -
Fox. Eight sous, two daughters.
4. JOSIAN [23], b. Nov. 20, 1748.
5. JEMIMA, b. 1750 (?) ; m. to Jolin Piper, of Wolfeborough, by Rev. Mr. Woodman, Jan. 20, 1783, and settled in W. Six sous, four daughters.
G. WILLIAM [30], b. 1732.
7. MOLLEY, b 1755 (?); in. William Shores, Feb. 25, 1799 (Crockett) ; lived in Sanbornton; but had no children (?).
8. PETER [40], b. Sept. 7, 1758, O. S.
9. JACOB, b. 1762 (?) ; settled where Amos K. Hersey now lives (1880) ; was the first person drowned in Sanborntou Little Bay, at Hersey's Cove, Ang. 19, 1796, ac. 34 (see p. GL [33]).
10. ELIZABETH (Betsey), b. 1764 (?) ; m. Nicholas Giles, Sen., 2d wife (see p. 302 [1]).
11. JOHN, b. 1766 (?); began to improve a lot in what is now (1877) Charles W. Colby's pasture; was deranged in mind, and relinquished his land to his brother James; d., ae. 60 (?).
12. JAMESº [2] (James1), was a surveyor, and was early employed by the last provincial governor, John Wentworth, to run a line from Portsmouth to Quebec, as also to survey the town of Stewartstown, N. H. On his way back, he called to visit his unele Nathaniel Burley, and being pleased with the country, he negotiated with the grantees, or others, for a large section of land, on several different lots, between Burley's (or Calef ) Hill and the Bridge, especially on Lots 55 and 56, Ist, and Gå and 75, 2d Divs. In this way he " took it up." There is some undue embellishment upou this subject in the Merrimack Journal of Ang. 22, 1873. The river lots were not then considered the most valuable ; and though Esq. Hersey may not have seenred his right and title to Lot No. 75, 2d Div., or some portion of it, till after the Revolutionary war commenced, and though he may have ridden a fine horse to Portsmouth, as there Thomas Packer, Esq., Masonian pro- prietor of said lot, resided, and though he may " have left the horse as the consideration " for a deed of the lot brought back, yet it is quite cer- tain that Gov. Wentworth had nothing directly to do with this transac- tion. It is, however, confidently allirmed by his descendants, that " one of the last aets of Gov. Wentworth, when on board a vessel at Ports-

mouth, and ready to sail for England, on account of his adhesion to Tory principles, was to sign a deed from the Crown, to Mr Hersey, of land in Sanbornton "! Also that, as king's surveyor, he laid out several of the original towns of the State, and made the first survey of Lake Winnipiseogee and its islands previous to the Revolutionary war, naming many of them, - Bear Island, for instance, " from the fact that making its survey in the spring of the year, when the ice was thin, a bear was killed while trying to escape "
He finally settled where now Gideon Piper (1880) lives, near the Seminary buildings, in Tilton, and, from his land farther back, sup- plied his brothers with homesteads. For many years he was a prom- inent man in. Sanbornton, as justice of the peace and surveyor, both making out deeds and running out lines for the farmers. Legal doc- uments are now shown, drawn up by him as late as 1796, with great accuracy. He also surveyed a good deal out of town. He was an earnest friend of education. He first welcomed Jacob Knapp, the " stripling teacher," to town ; and Dudley Leavitt boarded at his house while teaching at the Bridge, who also was assisted by Esq. Hersey in making out his first alinanae! Ile was in. to Elizabeth, dau. of Wil- liam Hayes (see Hayes Fam., p. 330 [G]), by Rev. Mr. Woodman, March 18, 1782, and d. May 14, 1817, ac. 71 ; she d.
