When he was two years old he was very sick and they sent for Dr. Adams. He came, prepared a cup of medicine, a powerful dose after the custom of those days, and set it down before the old-fash- ioned fire to warm it a little. Just then Tommy slipped out of his mother's arms, waddled along to the fire, and kicked the cup under the back-log. The doctor only remarked : "D-n him, he'll live ! " and he lived.]
THOMAS FLINT and Eunice How, referred to above as having set- tled in Rutland, Mass., had ten children, all born in that town, as fol- lows : Sarah, who married James King; Thomas, who married Anne (or Nancy) Lilly, and settled in Rutland; John, of whom nothing is known by the writer; Eunice, who married Daniel Nitt of Paxton, Mass .; Dor- othy, who married Daniel Snow of Paxton, Mass .; Lucy, who married John Hayden of Oakham; Tilly, born March 17, 1759, who married Ruth Forsdick, settled in Rutland, was many years deacon in Congregational Church, and was a most efficient and estimable man; Dr. Jonas, who will be further noticed below; Moses How, born Feb. 6, 1763, who died in infancy ; and Caroline, who married Elisha Allen of Petersham, Mass., Aug. 30, 1787.

tages as were at hand, then after a time went to study medicine with Dr. Frink of Westmoreland. He married Eunice Gardner of that town, and settled down there in the practice of his profession, in which he was very successful. But after a time, at the importunity of relatives there, he was induced to move to St. Johnsbury, Vt., where most of his chil- dren were born. There he had an extensive practice, though he used to say " there was no money in it, because the settlers in that then new country were poor." There, except a short sojourn in Stoddard, and another in Windsor in old age, Dr. Flint remained, dying July 20, 1849, aged eighty-nine. He had children: Alvin, Henry, Austin, John G., William, Jonas, Jr., Shubel, Laura, and George, -eight sons and one daughter. John G. Flint, Esq., of this town, is the only one of them living. He was born in St. Johnsbury, Vt., Feb. 12, 1797. In 1802, though only five years old, he was apprenticed to Stephen Wyman of Windsor. There he remained some thirty-five years, and in due time inherited the Wyman farm. He married Sarah Gregg of Antrim. All his children were born on the farm in Windsor. Mr. and Mrs. F. cele- brated their golden wedding Nov. 22, 1871. He was often representative of Windsor; was a prominent military man in his day, of soldierly address and bearing; enjoyed the respect and confidence of the community in his old age; a man of fine natural abilities, and Christian faith and char- acter. He died Feb. 6, 1880. His children are :-

FOSTER.
WILLIAM S. FOSTER, born in Essex, Mass., March 19, 1801, was son of Zebulon and Polly (Story) Foster, and grandson of Aaron and Ruth (Lowe) Foster. Aaron was a soldier at the capture of Louisburg, and was out in most of the Revolution. Two of his sons, Moses and Thomas, were soldiers in the Revolution. This family descended from Reginald Foster, who came from England with a large family and set- tled in Essex, formerly Chebacco, in 1638, and died in 1680. His son, Reginald, Jr., was two years old when brought to this country, and died Dec. 28, 1707, leaving a large family, among whom was John, who died Dec. 9, 1736, aged seventy-two. Moses Foster, son of this John, was father of Aaron named above, and died September, 1785, aged eighty- five. Zebulon Foster was born Aug. 2, 1766; moved to Henniker in 1814, after the birth of all his children, and died in the last-named place, Dec. 16, 1849. His wife survived him and died Aug. 3, 1851, aged eighty- one. Her father, William Story, was a captain in the Revolution.
William S. Foster was a carpenter by trade and came to Antrim in the

spring of 1826 to help build the Center Church. He boarded with Ste- vens Paige, and thus became acquainted with his daughter, Harriet, whom he married Dec. 27, 1827, after which he continued to reside in this town. In 1829 he moved on to the William McDole place, where he lived forty-six years. He married, second, Mary Cooledge, Nov. 28, 1850. Mr. Foster was one of our best and most conspicuous men for many years; was representative of the town; was chairman of the selectmen during the war; and was called to fill many positions of trust and honor. In old age he made profession of his faith in Christ, and, after a long and painful sickness, he passed away in Christian confidence and peace, July 10, 1875. His children were : -
1. STEVENS P., [b. in 1828. He left Antrim in early manhood, and was last heard of in London, in 1851.]

CHARLES H. FOSTER, son of Isaiah and Patty (Hartwell) Foster, was born in Hillsborough in 1819, married Martha A. Sargent, and came here in 1855, into a house moved from Stoddard for that purpose, and put up opposite the old Burns mill, on Stoddard road. He came here to run the mill, but moved away in two years. He had two sons, Charles N. and Leona W., the latter of whom was born in this town.
FOX.

tanner's trade with his uncle George Duncan. He married Mary Barker in 1837, and went to Stoddard, where he died Oct. 11, 1862. The same year his widow and children moved to North Branch, and went thence to Pittston, Me., in 1869. The children were: -
1. SARAH J., [b. in 1840, m. Joseph Moulton in 1865, and now lives in Cushing, Me.]
2. GEORGE DUNCAN, [b. in 1843, and was killed at the battle of Antietam Sept. 17, 1862.]
3. SAMUEL B., [b. in 1846, m. Louise Gray in 1869, and lives in Westfield, Mass.]
4. MARIANNA, [b. in 1852.]
JEDEDIAH FOX came here from Hancock with his friend George Duncan, and worked apparently at the tanning business for Frederick Poor, a part of several years. He was born in New Ipswich in 1781, and was somewhat older than Duncan. After his marriage Fox seems to have boarded here with his wife, part of the time for two years or more. Duncan bought the tannery here, and Fox that in Hancock; to which town the latter with his young child soon moved. He died there, Sept. 21, 1858, aged seventy-seven. He was the oddest and strangest of men, and his sayings are still common in the community where he spent most of his life. Was a genial, good man, rigidly honest, and of marked ability, highly and universally respected, and mourned at his death by all. He was son of Timothy Fox. His mother's name was Dudley. The family came from Woburn, Mass. I find the name conspicuous in that ancient place, among the officials both of church and town. Jede- diah Fox married Sarah Wheeler, a native of Mont Vernon, being daughter of John and Mary (Butterfield) Wheeler, who afterwards set- tled in Hancock. John Wheeler is said to have kept the tavern at Han- cock till his death; and Fox, marrying his daughter, left the tanning business in later years, and kept the same hotel till death. Jedediah's brother Samuel was father of Eliphalet Fox, named above. The only child of Jedediah and Sarah (Wheeler) Fox was Charles James, born in Antrim, Oct. 28, 1811. He was one of the ablest and best men New Hampshire ever produced.
There has been some questioning as to the birthplace of Charles James Fox. I have given the matter the most painstaking search for a long time, with the object of determining the truth, and I cannot avoid the conclusion that Mr. Fox was born here. And this with not the remotest wish to rob Hancock. That town has sent forth a multitude of noble men into the world, and has a plenty of good stock left. I cherish the highest regard for Hancock and its people, and the honor of its good name, and noble record. But the facts convince me that in this case the honor of a great man's birthplace belongs to Antrim. The traditions and recollections of aged people are so vague and contradictory, now after seventy years, as to seem to about balance each other, and be of small value as evidence. The birth is on the Hancock town record, but

was entered there many years subsequent to the event, as an examination of the page will show. It does not mention the place of birth, but was probably put there at the father's request to preserve the date and parent- age. Many such entrances are found in Antrim and other town records, which I have found to have value only as determining dates. On the other hand, the records and various biographies in connection with Dart- mouth College, which must have originated with Mr. Fox himself, give his residence Hancock, but his birthplace Antrim. This is on record also as the impression of some of his college mates at the time. I know of no way to avoid this evidence. As one of the oldest and most distin- guished professors wrote me about it, " It must have come from some one who knew the facts." And these " facts," to my certain knowledge, are taken if possible from each member of college himself. The "History of Dunstable," published by Mr. Fox, the same year of his death, gives his birthplace as Antrim. This was not written by Mr. Fox himself, but by his pastor and most intimate friend after the author became too feeble to write, and appears in an introductory biographical notice, dic- tated without doubt by Mr. Fox, in those weeks when his head was clear but he was too feeble to write. As his childhood and youth were spent in Hancock, and his parents, quite noted, were then living in Hancock, there does not seem to be any reason for mentioning Antrim, except the fact that he was born here. I can't see any chance to call it a mistake. Also in " Drake's American Biography," with early and careful pains to get at the facts, it is said that " Charles James Fox, lawyer and author, was born in Antrim." I have not room to say more, but this seems to me conclusive concerning this modern Homer; at least sufficient to warrant the following notice. This also explains why this great and honored man was not mentioned in any of the exercises at Hancock centennial.
Charles James Fox fitted for college at Francestown Academy, and under the private tuition of Rev. Archibald Burgess of Hancock. He was graduated at Dartmouth College with high honors, in the class of 1831. He studied law with Hon. Isaac O. Barnes, then of Francestown, and completed his legal studies at the New Haven Law School. He then entered the office of Hon. Daniel Abbott of Nashua, with whom he soon became a partner in the practice of law. Was treasurer of Nashua and Lowell Railroad; county solicitor in 1835-44; commissioner of bank- ruptcy ; was appointed one of a committee of three to revise the " Statutes of New Hampshire " in 1841-42, the other members being Judges Bell and Parker (a remarkable compliment to his learning and knowledge of law, as he was not quite thirty years old when appointed); was member of the legislature in 1837; published " The Town Officer," a most valua- ble book, in 1843; compiled, in connection with Rev. Samuel Osgood, D.D., " The New Hampshire Book of Prose and Poetry; " traveled in West Indies and Egypt in 1844-45, of which he published an interesting sketch; and, last, published the "History of Dunstable " (Nashua) in 1846. Mr. Fox also wrote many poems which went the round of the magazines and brought him much praise. These have never been col- lected in a volume. He died after long sickness in Nashua, Feb. 17, 1846, aged thirty-four. With all the honors of his life, he was a Chris-

tian. Very few men so young have left so glorious a record. What he accomplished in about nine years of active life, is truly marvelous ! (See sketch by Dr. Samuel Osgood, D. D., " Christian Examiner," 1846.) Mr. Fox married in June, 1840, Catherine Pickman Abbott of Nashua, daughter of Judge Abbott. Their only child, Charles William Fox, was born March 9, 1843; graduated at Harvard College in 1864; after study in New York, and in foreign lands, he settled as a physician in Philadel- phia, in 1870. Mrs. Catherine P. Fox married Ex-Gov. Samuel Dins- more in May, 1853. I have heard her spoken of as a woman of remark- able grace of manner, and excellence of life. Ex-Gov. Dinsmore died Feb. 27, 1869.
FRYE.
A DR. FRYE was the first physician in Antrim. He seems to have come here about 1786, and to have stayed about two years, when, think- ing he could do better elsewhere, he moved away. He was probably a young man without a family. It is not known whence he came or whither he went; and his principal distinction is that he was the first of the medical art among us, leading the van of the little army dealing out pills and potions, and having a line of most worthy successors, whatever he might have been himself.
FULLER.
JOSEPH FULLER, a shoemaker, came here from Massachusetts about 1806. He lived in the Henry Hill house, built by B. Ballard, and had a shop in it for many years. He married Nancy George, and had one son born in Antrim. The family all moved to the State of Maine long since, and I have not been able to learn more about them.
1. AUSTIN GEORGE, [b. Jan. 13, 1807.]
GATES.
STEPHEN GATES, son of Thomas, of Norwich, England, came over in 1642 and settled in Hingham, Mass., and had four children: Stephen, Simon, Thomas, and Mary. Simon, the second of these, also had four children: Simon, Jr., who settled in Marlborough, Mass .; Amos, who settled in Framingham, Mass .; Samuel, and Jonathan. Capt. Amos Gates of Framingham had children: Amos, Molly, Anna, George, Charles, Henry, Oakham, Trowbridge, Martha R., Ruth, Susanna, and John. Of these, George, Henry, Oakham, and John were out in the Rev- olutionary army.
GEORGE GATES came here from Framingham in 1800. His wife was Hannah Barrett. They settled on the south side of Holt's Hill, where they lived several years in a log house. Afterwards a more sub- stantial dwelling was erected. Here Mrs. Gates died March 28, 1834, aged eighty-four. He died Dec. 13, 1845, aged nearly ninety-three. Was

a man remarkable for health, contentment, and Christian peace. Had a remarkable memory. He recollected many things he heard at the age of ten years from Capt. Clark who died in Framingham in 1762, at the age of one hundred and five, and who had in his youth personal acquaintance with several of the Pilgrim fathers, and most of the first settlers of New England. Mr. Gates took great pleasure during his long life in narrating well-remembered incidents and struggles in the war of the Revolution. He and his three brothers were distinguished for bravery and hardi- hood, and were out during most of the war. None of them were killed, but at the battle of Bunker Hill Henry was shot through the neck and terribly wounded. The bullet entered the right cheek and went down- ward and passed nearly through the neck, lodging at the skin on the opposite side. George carried him off the field. Beyond all expectation he survived and attained to perfect health. This was considered very remarkable in that day, and on account of it Henry attained some noto- riety. He was present when the corner-stone of the Bunker-hill monu- ment was laid, being then an old man, and attracting much attention. The brothers were also present, and all lived to advanced age. The chil- dren of George and Hannah (Barrett) Gates were: -
