Like many other early settlers of the town, he was a farmer, with a trade besides, - that of a tanner and enrrier ; his tan pits being on the south side of the present highway, corner of W. D. Pike's pasture. Though a young man among the settlers, he evidently enjoyed their confidence, being elected, first, upon the board of their first selectmen, at their first town meeting, 1770, and variously at other thues till 1783. His title changes from " Ens." to " Lient." between 1775 and 1776 (town records), as in May of the former year he heads the list of the patriotic Sanborn- ton men who soon hastened to the scene of conflict after the battle of Bunker Hill, having previously been enrolled in Capt.

This was upon Lot No. 76, 20 Div , three fourths of a mile from the Bridge, which afterwards continued for more than a century in his fam- ily. Here he built his pioneer dwelling, in the fall of 1765, three rods northeast of the later barn, the first " framed house " in town ! (See Gen. History.) Ile bad m.

Ile always alleged that his consin Daniel [7] was expected to go in company with him, but when he arrived at the " house " above mentioned, he found Daniel already there, hav- ing " passed him in the night," and perhaps having some claim upon the establishment, for lumber furnished the season before. Ilis second chill [114] was about a year old, as commonly asserted, when they first arrived in town. Ile was a benevolent, generous-hearted man. l'eo. ple from Northfield, Canterbury, etc., would often stop at his house as a place of free entertainment. Hle greatly encouraged other set- tlers, and especially his four brothers, to follow him into town. Ile was a man of dignity and presence, full of dry humor (as illustrated by an anecdote elsewhere). Served early as a magistrate, without appointment, and, like all his brothers, " was a large, buiky man, a valuable citizen, and made a good living." He had previously served in the old French war. The absence of his name from the " Association Test" in 1776 is explained by the fact that he was then in the Revolu- tionary service, though his name is also wanting on the Sanbornton rolls ; yet he is known to have been " orderly sergeant" under Capt. Jere. Clough. He was afterwards sick of camp disorder at Ticou- deroga, and a young neighbor of his, Enoch Ely by name (living where now John P. Lane), very devotedly went for him, got him home safely, but was himself taken of the same disease, and died soon after. Ile was the first representative from Sanbornton under the new Con- stitution (see). Ile d. Aug. 29, 1814, ae. 78-7. She d. June 15, 1826, ac. 89-1.

He afterwards owned the farm on the hill, north of the Woodman place, which he sold to Esq. William Harper, taking his pay in the continental currency, by which he was much impoverished.

Hle had the title of " Colonel " afterwards, also " Josiah S., 1st," and " Forty Hairs," from his near approach to baldness!

Perkins. Ile had started for a visit with friends (dau. and niece), two miles north- east of the Square, on horseback, his wife having preceded in a wagon. Ou level ground, in the valley west of Mr. P.'s, his horse stumbled, and threw bim by a partial somersault violently upon his back, ruptur- ing an internal vessel, as he was a very heavy man. He remounted, but could proceed no farther than Mr. Perkins's, where he took a bed, from which he never rose. Great distress of body ensued, but the soul was calm and joyons. The plan and purpose of God in bring- ing him thus to his appointed term of life were cheerfully descanted upon. Though he had never been a man who could speak in public of bis religious experience, yet that shone very brightly at this time, and his tongue was unloosed to declare it. He affirmed that those last hours were the most happy of his life, notwithstanding his pain ; could not sleep at night, but was full of the high praises of his God and Saviour ; expressed an earnest desire to see his beloved pastor, the Rev. Abraham Bodwell, once more, who came to his bedside at 2 o'clock, A. M., and but a few moments before his faithful parishioner " fell asleep in Jesus," the whole occasioning a scene and a night long to be remembered by all who witnessed it. She d.

May 5, 1742 ; first came from Hampton to Sanbornton, autumn of 1778, and pur- chased two or three hundred acres above the confinence of the two rivers, at what is now Frauklin Falls. The only buildings then upon the above-named tract of land were a small log-house, near the site of the late N. H. Sanborn's, and a small saw-mill, north side of the river, just east of the Sanborn Bridge (afterwards carried away by a freshet), previously built and occupied by a Mr. Folsom. Contract- ing for a one-story framed house, near the log-cabin, it took fire and was entirely burned when nearly completed. A second building was

ouly boarded and shingled before winter, so that on moving his family to town, Feb. 13, 1779, he was obliged to occupy the log-house for some time. His family then consisted of wife, two daughters, and seven sons. The first of their settlement were years of privation and suffering, but brave hearts and willing hands soon turned the forest into a fruitful field. IIe built a new saw-mill on the south side of the river, parts of the basement sills of which were to be seen in 1872; also a grist-mill, on a small island near the north shore of the river. In 1798 his family was visited by a malignant fever, of which his wid- owed sister (?) d. Dec. 8, his wife Dec. 18, ac. 56-7, and his daugh- ter as below [170]. These afflictions were sanetitied and borne with Christian fortitude, hence he united with the Congregational Church at the Square, June, 1799, and ever remained a faithful, consistent men- ber, performing his weekly " Sabbath-day's journey " of six miles, and often on foot, to the sanctuary, with great regularity. In old age, " without a statt, his hands folded behind," he would ascend our " Hill of Zion." On one Thanksgiving day he is remembered to have walked up the broad isle of the old meeting-house, " followed by his ten sons in the order of their respective ages." His last years were spent with his son [172], opposite his old homestead, in comfort; but a distressing accident. being run over by a span of horses and loaded sleigh, as he was walking out of a pleasant morning to visit the new fac- tory, then nearly completed, occasioned his death, in two or three days, Feb. 13, 1823, in his 84th year, and on the 44th anniversary of his arrival at Sanbornton with his family ! Six of his sons were settled near him, and tive of them on land of the original purchase, given then by their father. Eleven of his fourteen children were married, and in 1873, 57 ont of 80 grandchildren were m., and 36 of these were living. Children :

his two sons, now given, who both settled in this town. Yet as the grantee, Josiah, Jr. (?), fifty-seventh on " Petition," Lots 13 and 53, was said to be of Exeter, he is more probably to be identified with this man than with [73] ( ee). He could not, however, if his father's oklest child, have been more than 14 when he signed the original " Petition," as the father was not married till 1733. Whether minors might not have been admissible as petitioners, or even grantees (as this one could have been only 19, in 1753, at the time of " drawing "), is an open question. Seeins likely in the case of " Daniel, Jr." (see [ 9]). Expectations of approaching manhood may have warranted their reception npon the list. All the above is rendered doubtful by recent discoveries to effect that the two following may have been the children of [41] by his 2d wife. In either case,
