fortunes, his mills were all burned in the spring of 1814, with forty barrels of oil and a large quantity of coal. He is said to have been a devoted Christian in carly life, and when he crossed the bridge, on arriving in town, " with his bundle under his arm, laying it down, he raised his hands in prayer to God for llis blessing."

THE MORGAN FAMILY.
1. BENJAMIN' MORGAN must have moved to this town about 1778, as the next year he was first appointed highway surveyor. He came from Greenland, in company with Nathaniel Grant, and settled east of the latter, where now John Wallis (No. 80, " add." 2d Div.), locat- ing his son [15] still further east, on the present Bowers place. His nsnal title was " Left.," being a lieutenant, possibly, in the Revolutionary service. His parents and brother may have settled here with him, as it is difficult otherwise to account for the " Mr. Mogane " who d. " Oct. 21, 1800," or the " Widow Morgain," who d. " April 13, 1803," or " Jonathan Morgain," who d. "Jan. 8, 1804." His wife d. Jan. 26, 1807, and he, " Lieutenant," d. Ang. 29, same year. Another brother,
2. REUBEN, is known to have settled in Meredith (now Laconia), where he d., and his sister may have been,
3. JOANNA, who was b. May 3, 1749, at Brentwood, and m. John Bryer. Ilis children bore the following names, though the order may not be correct :
4. JACOB (the oldest), went to Vermont and Ohio.
