HISTORY OF HAVERHILL
him immediately occupied it. The farmhouse is still standing on the top of the hill, known in recent years as the Cheney house, and is at present occupied by Robert Parks, probably the oldest dwelling house in Woodsville. The farm buildings on the river road now owned and occupied by Mrs. Henry F. King were not erected till some years later. The farm was a little time after the purchase divided between the two brothers, but Hiram King did not become a permanent resident of the town. Disposing of his hold- ings he removed to Coventry (Benton) near East Haverhill, in what was known as the Page district, on a large farm that later passed into the possession of Governor John Page. Russell King became an active factor in the town, and was a leader in affairs in the north- ern end of the town. He was a substantial farmer, in politics a Whig and Republican, and in religious preference a Congregationalist. He represented Haverhill in the leg- islature in 1857 and again in 1858. When he came to Haverhill he was accompanied by his father William King and Sally Walker, sister of his wife. William King born 1772, died 1841; Sally Walker King born 1789, died 1836.
RUSSELL KING born in Langdon Jan. 26, 1801; married Apr. 4, 1827, Ann Walker, born Rockingham, Vt., Mar. 9, 1805. He died Haverhill Mar. 13, 1874; she died Sept. 13, 1873. They had nine children, the four eldest born in Charlestown, the others in Haverhill:
1. SAMUEL RUSSELL b. Jan. 9, 1828; d. Nov. 19, 1832.

Louis E. Davison. (See Davison.) Henry F. King spent nearly two years prior to his marriage in railroad employ- ment in Pennsylvania, but returned about the time of his marriage to Hav. and with his father became the owner of the home farm. He was identified with the growth and development of Woodsville, served as free district commissioner, was select- man of the town, deputy sheriff, and represented the town in the legislature of 1899-01. In politics he was a Republican, and in later life an attendant on the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was a successful farmer and one of the most substantial citizens of the town.

No less than seven of the twelve children of Daniel4 and Mehitable Ladd (six sons- Ezekiel, Samuel, John, David, James and Jonathan-and one daughter), became resi- dents of Haverhill. Ezekiel was one of the first settlers, coming in 1765, and was soon followed by five of his brothers and later by a sister. They settled on what very appro- priately was known as Ladd Street, and in the early history of the town, the family was an important factor in its affairs. Ezekiel was a judge of the Court of Sessions, one of the early innholders or tavern keepers, selectman and town treasurer in 1768, and also in several years subsequently. He owned one of the first, if not the very first tannery in town. He lived on the east side of Ladd Street between the schoolhouse and Henry Bailey's. Samuel Ladd lived where the late James Woodward resided for many years. John Ladd built the house now owned by Henry S. Bailey. David Ladd lived in what is known as the Clifford house. James Ladd lived on the same side of the street as Ezekiel, and Jonathan Ladd's house was the old gristmill house. The family was one of the largest in the history of the town, but it has now no representative bearing the family name.
