He settled on the turnpike, and built the large house where Wallace W. Dole now resides. The house, large as it is, was originally designed for a wing, but the main structure was never built. Doubtless the house was in- tended for a tavern, which in those days, found plenty of patronage in the heavy six horse teams which trav- eled to and from Boston. Capt. Philbrick was a man of much enterprise, and was the owner of a large amount of real estate.

PROCTOR.
According to the records of Chelmsford, Mass., Israel Proctor of that town and Sarah Raymond of Concord, Mass., were united in marriage, Sept. 18, 1734. They re- . sided in Chelmsford, and to them were born eight child- ren. Two of the sons, William and Nathan, and a dau., Hannah, came to Washington to reside at an early date.
William Proctor, son of Israel and Sarah (Raymond) Proctor, was b. in Chelmsford, Mass., Feb. 20, 1747. He m. Mary, dau. of Oliver and Mary Proctor, May 11, 1769. They removed from Chelmsford to Washington in 1775, and settled on a farm near Millen Pond. After making some improvements he found his title to the land worth- less, which led to his removal to the farm near by, which is, at present, the home of Cyrus K. Farnsworth. Here he continued to reside many years. The last years of his life were spent with his children at the east part of the town, where he died, Feb. 19, 1846. He is said to have been a soldier during the Revolution, and was generally known as "Capt. Proctor." His wife d. Sept. 22, 1845, aged 96 years. Children :-

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON.
time after marriage was spent in the woods with her hus- band, where they were engaged in making maple sugar, and in the spring they removed to the east part of the town and took possession of the farm now owned by Geo. W. Carr. The land was deeded to her husband, by his father, and was an almost or quite unbroken forest. She aided with her own hands in erecting a humble dwelling which stood nearly in front of the spot where the large house now stands. Many hardships, unavoidably had to be endured in subduing the wilderness and building up their new home. Bears were numerous and often gave the new settlers alarm. At one time she left the house for a short time, its only occupant being a sleeping infant; returning she was horrified at the sight of a huge bear en- tering her front door. Her presence of mind caused her to make no outcry and the bear walked slowly through the house and passed out at the back door, leaving the child unharmed. She continued to res. on the farm where she began married life until her death, which oc- curred March 7, 1872, at the great age of one hundred and one years and eleven months. She retained her mental faculties to the close of life, and entertained many visitors, by her interesting and intelligent conversation relating to by-gone times.
