GOOKIN
The Gookin family was for a time a prominent one in Haverhill. Samuel was born in 1742 and lived in Dedham and Boston, and later in Haverhill. His son, Richard, was born in Boston in 1769, and with his brother, Samuel, was the first person, it is said, who manufactured watch and hair springs in America. He and a party by the name of Sand- vin introduced from England the wool-carding machines and on these he obtained sev- eral patents. Previous to this all wool was carded by hand. He came to Haverhill in 1799 and manufactured wool-carding machines which were sold in all parts of the United States and in Canada. He was interested in woolen factories in Bath and other

places and lived on Ladd Street. He was the owner with Obadiah Swasey of the "Fisher farm." There is a tradition that on account of the carding machines being brought from England an attempt was made on the lives of Mr. Gookin and his partner. A hat was sent the former armed with a secret deadly spring, but was discovered before the hat was worn. It was put on a dog and instantly killed the animal. To Mr. Sandvin was sent a trunk that was to explode when unlocking.

He was a grantee of Haverhill, Bath and Newbury, Vt., and was one of the party that came up in the spring of 1762 to assist John Hazen in putting up his mill and begin settlement. With Joshua Howard and Simeon Stevens he made the journey from Hampstead in four days coming up direct, by the Baker's River route, and over what is now Warren Summit, instead of taking the usual course as did Hazen and the others by way of North Haverhill. They were the first of the settlers to take the shorter direct route. He remained but a little time in Haverhill, went to Bath where he became the first settler, and later went to Chester, and still later to Sandwich. Before coming to Coos he lived for a time in Gilmanton. He was the first blacksmith in Coos, hence a person of first importance. Ten children:
