THE SHIRLEY FAMILY.
Two, if not five brothers of the surname (which is of great antiquity in English history, traceable beyond the Norman conquest), came from the North of Ireland in 1728-30, and settled in Nutfield, now Chester, from which Scotch-Irish stock all the New England members of the family, at least, are sprung.
1. THOMAS SHIRLEY is supposed to be one of these (see Chase's " History of Chester," p. 591). He was the father of
2. SAMUEL SHIRLEY, b. Dec. 25, 1748, in Chester, who m., 1st, Margaret Graham (yeleped " Peggy Grimes"), in 1774.

He m., 3d, Betty McDuf- fee, 1799. After having been an extensive business man in that part of Chester which is now Auburn, owning mills at the upper end of Massabesic Lake, building the first grist mill at Auburn Village, car- rying on large lumber operations with Haverhill, Newburyport, etc., and running a well-known country hotel at Auburn, he became the victim of unjust litigation, which he fought against with true Scotch pertinacity, till his property was innch reduced. Ile then moved into this region, with his oldest son and most of his other children, in 1801 ; lived first a short time in Northfield (Dr. Enos Hoyt, now Cilley place), then for three years, 1802-5, in what is now Franklin, Lot No. 69, 2d Div., east of the Esq. James Clark farm, and finally, at Union Bridge, receiving from Nathaniel Moor, by deed, sixty-one and one half acres, July 15, 1805, which he reconveyed to Samuel Lakeman, June 21, 1806? (see Lots), reserving two acres for his continued res- idence, at the head of Union Bridge Street, where he was known for many years as the "reed maker." He d. at his son John's home- stead, at U.
