ROBERT BURNS, brother of John, came here in 1775, having bought his brother's farm, on which he lived till 1829, - fifty-four years, - when he died at the age of eighty-nine. He married Janet McNiel of New Boston, from which town he came. It is related of him that he once lost his cows in the woods, hunted for them till dark, got lost him- self, and when he began to hear the bears growl near at hand he crept into a hollow log for safety, and, defending the entrance, lay there till morning. His anxious wife sat up all night for him, and felt disposed to know his whereabouts on that particular occasion, but all she could ever get out of him was, in broad Scotch, " Haala laag !

BUSWELL.
DANIEL BUSWELL came here from Bradford, Mass., in 1791, hav- ing been previously married to Ede Bodwell of Methuen, who was born Jan. 13, 1770. Mr. Buswell first occupied the Zadoc Dodge place, and afterwards lived in several different places in town, until the year 1826, when he settled on the Gregg place near the pond, where he died in 1859, at the age of ninety-six years. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and re- ceived a serious wound in the eye in a battle near Fort Washington. One part of a bullet, which was cut in two by striking his bayonet as he was reloading, struck his eye, while the larger part was turned aside, thus probably saving his life. His wife died at the age of ninety-nine years, two months, and one day. Their children are: -

BUTLER.
TOBIAS BUTLER, one of the noted characters in the early settle- ment of this town, was a fine penman. He it was who wrote on the title page of the town book, in large and elegant hand, -
"The Records of Antrim in the year Of our Lord GOD 1788.
"T. BUTLER "T. C.
" By commendable deportment you will Rise to preferment &c. "
It was natural that the writing-master should "set a copy " in the town book ; and it is to be hoped that many who read this will be enabled in this way to "Rise to preferment &c."
Tobias Butler was born in Ireland in 1746, and educated for a Roman Catholic priest, but, becoming a Protestant, he emigrated to America (probably on that account), at the age of twenty-five years. He first' owned a place in New Boston, and from that town entered the army of the Revolution, passing through most of the conflicts in New York. He married Mary Hogg, sister of Abner Hogg of New Boston, who was a marked man in his day, and a Revolutionary pensioner within the mem- ory of the writer, bowed and white and nearly one hundred years old, respected by all, and venerated by the young. When his son had his name changed, the old man said, " I've always lived a Hogg and I'll die a Hogg." Mr. Butler came to this town in 1786 and lived on the Eben Bass place. Everybody called him " Master Butler, ", from the fact that for many years he was a teacher. In 1788 he held the office of town clerk. He moved to Hillsborough in 1804, where he resided for a time, when he came back and lived on the Nat. Herrick place, but died, in 1829, at the age of eighty-three years, on the then-called Weston place. The buildings, now gone, stood northeast of J. G. Flint's. He had a brother John, who lived for a few years in a log house in Eben Bass's pasture, when he returned to Ireland, not regarding rocky Antrim equal to his fatherland. Master Butler was an honest and pious man. His chil- dren were: -
1. JAMES, [m. Fanny Stevens, Oct. 15, 1812, lived in many places in town, and d. on the Sam. Wilson place west of Reed Carr's.]
2. ROBERT, [m. Betsey Wilkins of Deering. In 1800 he built a small store at the corner opposite the town-house, where he traded for some years, and then moved to Salem, N. Y., where he died. Robert had children here named Samuel M., Gracie O., and Milton. The last was killed by the fall- ing of an iron bar upon him in Salem, N. Y., aged 12.]

BUTMAN ..
JOHN BUTMAN, an excellent man, came here from Topsfield, Mass., in 1794, and settled on the place still called by his name, south of Gregg pond. He died in 1824, aged eighty-seven years. His wife, Hannah An- drews of Boxford, Mass., died aged ninety-four years. Their children, none of them born in this town, were as follows : Ebenezer, Nancy, John, Asa, Thomas, Joshua, Oliver, Eliphalet. Of these, the only one of whom we have any record is Ebenezer Butman, born in Boxford, Mass., in 1767. He came here with his father at the age of twenty-seven, married Mehitable Andrews of Bradford, Dec. 24, 1805, and lived with his parents till 1822, when he moved to Bradford, where he died in 1857.

BUTTERFIELD.
ISAAC BUTTERFIELD, as associated with our fathers, and first · captain of the militia of Society Land, deserves a brief notice here, though never living in Antrim. In 1713, or soon after, Samuel Butter- field with other soldiers was stationed at Groton, Mass., to guard and assist the reapers of a large lot of grain. The Indians attacked them, and Mr. Butterfield, after killing one and disabling two others, was over- powered, bound, and marched off to Canada. The Indians intended him for torture and death, and left it to the wife of the Indian he had killed to say in what form he should be tortured. She decided to keep him for a servant. After many months he was redeemed. His son William set- tled some years afterward in Londonderry, and subsequently in Fran- cestown. Capt. Isaac Butterfield was son of William, and settled in Society Land, now Greenfield, in 1770, near the present school-house in Nahum Russell's district, on the spot where there is now a large stone in the wall inscribed "I. B. 1770.". When, on news of the battle of Lex- ington, the men of Society Land (Antrim, Hancock, and Greenfield) met together and marched toward the scene of conflict, they chose Isaac But- terfield their captain. This was done at the house of Dea. Aiken. Of Capt. Butterfield we know but little further. After the war he lived awhile in Francestown and in Acworth. Thence he went to Homer, N. Y. His old age was spent in Le Roy, that State, where he died at the age of ninety-five. His wife was a Webster. Most of his family went to New York. His oldest son, John, was a noted merchant, went to China for cargoes of tea, was in trade more than half a century, and died in Le Roy, N. Y ., aged ninety.
BENJAMIN BUTTERFIELD came here in 1785, and lived a few years in a log house south of Dea. Vose's and west of the pond, when he moved away. Nothing further is known of him.
CHARLES BUTTERFIELD came here in 1795, and lived on the south slope of the mountain north of the Artemas Brown place. About 1800 his buildings were burned, when he left town and nothing more is known of him.
CHANDLER BUTTERFIELD, son of William and Lavinia (Case) Butterfield of Washington, was born in 1812. His father came to Antrim that year to nurse those sick with spotted fever. He lived in several places in town, then went to Massachusetts, and died there. His son, Chandler Butterfield, grew up to manhood in town, married Naomi D. Robinson July 16, 1835, and lived for many years west of the pond. He now occupies the Robert Gregg or David Hill place. His children are : -

Peter Butterfield of Revolutionary honor. Capt. Butterfield and his brother John filled a uniform in the Revolutionary army each six months alternately for years, as one of them must be at home, their father having died and left a young and needy family.) In 1853 he left Antrim for Nashua, from whence he removed to Beaver Dam, Wis., where he died in 1859. His children are : -

JOHN CAMPBELL was the son of Hugh and Margaret (Kelso) Campbell, emigrants through England, whose children were James, John, Robert, William, and Polly. Of these, William settled in New Boston, and John, mentioned above, came to Antrim from New Salem (now Salem) in 1779, cleared the place where James Wood now lives, for sev- eral years occupying a log house near a spring east and below the house. There was no house or road between that and the Goodell place (Dea. Joseph Boyd's), and they were guided entirely by marked trees. He married Barbary Aiken, had a large farm, and built the present house in 1802. He died in 1843, at the age of eighty-eight years. Children were :

further is known of his family. He is supposed to be the Henry Campbell who signed the Association Test in Windham in 1776. His untimely death was a great shock to the town.
CARR.
Three brothers, James, John, and David Carr, came here from Merri- mack. When young they spelled the name Karr, and it so appears on the Association Test. They were sons of John Carr and Isabella Walker of Londonderry. The father's name appears among the signatures to the Association Test in that town in 1776. He is said to have been brought over with the first settlers of Londonderry, though a small boy. He had a brother James who was killed by the Indians in what is now the town of Bow in 1748. His half-murdered dog guarded the dead body of its master till the neighbors found it the next day, and even then fiercely opposed its removal.
DEA. JAMES CARR, the oldest of these brothers, came here in 1778, and cleared and settled where his grandson William R. Carr now lives. Dea. Carr was born in 1748 in Litchfield, though the home of his parents was in Goffstown. He was a genial, cheery, good man, a great worker, an elder in the Presbyterian Church thirty-four years, and died at the age of eighty-six. His wife was Ann Patterson of Goffstown. Their children were : -
