The founder of the Buttrick family in America was William Buttrick, b. in England about 1617. He settled in Concord, Mass., in 1635, on a farm embracing the spot where the Minute- men stood when they received the first shot fired in the Revolu- tionary war. Maj. John Buttrick, who led the company of Minutemen on that memorable occasion was a great-grandson of William. The farm still remains in the possession of the But- trick family. The line of descent is as follows :
I. William Buttrick, named above, b. in England about 1617. He had eight children of whom the fourth was
2. Samuel. Of his six children, one was
3. Jonathan. He was the father of fourteen children. One of them was Maj. John Buttrick mentioned above, and another, the fifth, was
4. Nathan. He was the father of six children, of whom the fourth was
5. Eli, b. Concord. He m. Sarah Parker. They settled in Concord, Mass., but in the early years of the 19th century, removed to South Alexandria and settled on what is still known as the Buttrick farm. He removed to Bristol as early as 1824, and was toll gatherer for the Central Bridge corporation occu- pying the toll house from 1824 till 1828, or later.

THE CARLETON FAMILY
I. Ebenezer Carleton, son of Eleazer, was b. Lynde- borough, Apr. 2, 1754. His descendants claim that he was Gen. Washington's purveyor, and this claim appears to be well taken. By the Revolutionary War Rolls it appears that he first enlisted Aug. 1, 1775, in Capt. Benjamin Mann's company, Col. James Reed's regiment. He was in Col. Scammel's regiment from 1777 to 1781, and his company was selected by Gen. Washington as his body guard, Jan. I, 1779, and was known as "Washington's Life Guard," That Washington should select one of this company for his purveyor was but natural. He was discharged for disability occasioned by being thrown from his horse. At his discharge Gen. Washington presented him with a pair of pistols and Mrs. Washington with a gold watch, as tokens of regard. Ebenezer Carleton m., June 3, 1784, Rebecca Farrar, b.
