She acquired the Osmanlee language, and practised medicine in the harem of the viceroy of the sultan, and in other harems ; her practise was restricted somewhat, as she found the Turks almost inaccessible, and it was confined mostly to the Missionary families, the Ar- menians, and the Bulgarians ; failing in health, she resigned her position, and took a trip into the moun- tain regions of Asia Minor ; in Brousa she became acquainted with Dr. John Bassian, a protestant, and a graduate of Michigan University, and they were mar- ried in 1873; they reside at Brousa, East Turkey, where both still practise medicine. She is the mother of two children, one living. She is a remarkable in- stance of a self-made woman, a superior lady, and faithful Christian. Mrs. Dr. Bliss, of Constantinople,

Fearlessly, unflinchingly, and heroically he dis- charged his duty, until, smitten by wasting disease, he sought his home among the Granite hills, only to die in the embrace of friends. He died as only a Christian can die. He left a young and loving wife, together with parents, brothers, and sisters, to mourn his early death."

WALLACE.
I. Thomas Wallace, was born near Burt Mills, in the north part of Ireland, in 1673 ; died in Londonderry, N. H., Aug. 22, 1754. He married, 1704, Barbary Cochran, born in 1677, and died Sept. 2, 1771. The parents of Thomas came from Scotland to Ireland about 1619. Thomas came to Londonderry, N. H., in 1732, and was married, Dec. 18, 1742, by Rev. Mr. Davidson, of that

town, to Mary, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Ful- ton) Wilson, who were married in Ireland. Mary was known as "Ocean-born Mary," having been born on the passage to this country, July 28, 1720. Her father died in Boston soon after landing. His widow brought the child Mary to Londonderry, where they had land laid out to them by reason of the father's being a grantee of the town. The mother married James Clark, great- great-grandparent of Horace Greeley. The child Mary resided with the family until her marriage, in 1742; her mother died in 1732. Tradition says, that in 1720 a company of emigrants, on their passage from Ireland to this country, were captured by pirates, and while in their hands as prisoners Mrs. Wilson was delivered of her first child, which so moved the pirate band, and par- ticularly the captain, who had a wife and family, that he permitted the emigrants to proceed on their voyage, bestowing upon Mrs. Wilson many valuable presents, mostly articles of wearing apparel, among which was a valuable silk dress, pieces of which are still retained by her descendants as memorials of her peril and of her deliverance from piratical hands. The pirate captain obtained a promise from Mrs. Wilson that she would name the child Mary, for his wife, that being her name. This signal deliverance from the pirates was commem- orated during a generation by the annual observance of a day of thanksgiving by the people of Londonderry. "Ocean-born Mary" resided in this town many of the last years of her life, and died Feb. 13, 1814. She was buried in the centre burying-ground, amidst many of her descendants. She was represented as being quite tall, resolute, and determined ; of strong mind, quick of com- prehension, sharp in her conversation, with a strong brogue, and full of humor ; was of florid complexion, bright eyes, and elegant in her manners to the last of her life. Her younger life experience was wonderful in toils and hardships ; but her last years were sunny and happy. There were born to James and Mary Wal- lace four sons.

mostly for the two preceding years, and settled in the south-west part of it, where Mr. Dowling resides. He at once became one of the leading men of the town ; and during the dark hours of the Revolution his voice and his counsel were ever in request. To him, perhaps, more than to any other one person, was the town indebt- ed for the promptness with which all demands upon it, whether for men or for supplies, were met. Dec. 6, 1782, he was chosen to represent this town and Hillsbor- ough for a term of two years in the legislature of the state, and was reelected in 1784 for another two years. He was selectman from 1779 to 1791 inclusive, save three years, and was chairman of the board ten years. He was one of the councillors of the state from 1788 to 1803, a period of fourteen years. In 1791 he was a del- egate from this town to the convention to frame a con- stitution for the state. In this convention he was chosen one of a committee of ten to take into consideration the constitution that had been prepared at that session, and to prepare and report, at an adjourned session, the alter- ations and amendments to be submitted to the people. In that convention were some of the ablest men of the state ; and the position to which Mr. Wallace was ap- pointed was a testimony of the high regard in which he was held by the members of that convention. In 1803 he was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Hillsborough county, to which this town still be- longed, a position he held until 1813. He d. Jan. 30, 1815, aged 65 years. The following notice of him, which appeared in print after his death, indicates the respect in which he was held by his fellow-citizens :
" It is but a tribute justly due to his memory to say, that, in addition to an uncommon fidelity and a fund of good sense, he possessed an excellent natural disposition. Always happy in the felicity of others and wounded in their woes, after justify- ing the confidence of his fellow-citizens for many years, as rep- resentative, senator, councillor, and judge, in succession, he bid adieu to the world in calm resignation to the will of Heaven, and with an unsullied reputation. In his death the state has lost a worthy citizen ; religion, a friend ; his wife, a kind-heart- ed husband ; his children, an indulgent father ; and his connec- tions, an affectionate relative."
He was the possessor of a large and highly-cultivated estate in the south-west part of the town, upon which he erected one of those noble mansions of the olden time, around whose hearthstone every one was made welcome, and whose hospitality was unbounded. Although in
759

public life continually for nearly a third of a century, his home and its inmates were never forgotten. There his brightest traits of character were shown, and his best hu- mor, with his broad Scotch accent, was exhibited. No one was turned from his door, but all alike were welcome. As he rode to church, and upon other occasions, in al- most royal style, everybody did him homage, and all received from him a pleasant recognition in return. At his death, the whole population of Henniker were sin- cere mourners, for the town had lost one of its most upright and most honored citizens. With a kind word for all, when living, all essayed to do him just reverence when dead. His first wife d. Aug. 1, 1794, when he was in the height of his popularity, and he felt her loss most keenly. He md., second wife, Mrs. Betsey Ea- ton, of Weare. His children were by his first wife. But very few of his descendants are now living : and his once noble mansion, so redolent with pure happiness, is fast passing to decay.

Mary, b. Aug. 8, 1792 ; md. Peter Patterson. Through the kindness and liberality of Mr. William C. Patter- son, I am enabled to present an engraving of Mrs. Patterson and her husband. I give the following tribute to her from an obituary published immediate- ly after her death :
In this village [Mt. Morris, Livingston county, N. Y.], of paralysis, on the morning of the 7th inst., in the 87th year of her age, Mrs. Mary W., widow of the late Peter Patter- son. Born in Henniker, N. H., where she spent the early part of her life, Mrs. P., with her husband and children, removed to the town of Perry in the year 1829. In 1845 the family removed to Leicester, and in 1853 to War- saw. While living at Warsaw, Mr. and Mrs. Patterson celebrated their golden wedding, a large circle of relatives and friends gathering to present to them their congratula- tions on that occasion. Not long after this, Mr. Patterson died while on a visit to his daughter in this place, in Feb- ruary, 1865. The home being thus broken up, Mrs. Pat- terson soon removed to this village, where, in the home
760

of her daughter, she has been most tenderly cared for up to the day of her death. She leaves three children, Mr. Wm. C. Patterson and Mrs. S. B. Woods, both of Cana- da, and Mrs. E. J. H. Harding, of this village, together with a large circle of relatives. whose pleasure it will be long to cherish her memory. Wherever she has lived her presence has been a blessing in the family, in the neigh- borhood, and in the church. Possessing a mind of rare intelligence and culture, and a warm, loving heart, retain- ing the use of her faculties up to the last, her long life of more than fourscore years has, to an unusual degree, been filled with usefulness. Early in life she gave her heart to Christ, and therefore to His rich grace will we give all the praise for the excellent character which she has developed. The sufferings incident to old age she has borne with fortitude and sweet Christian resignation, seeming more thoughtful of others than of herself, even while she was suffering. Her funeral was largely attended at the resi- dence of her son-in-law, Mr. Hugh Harding of this village, the remains being taken to Warsaw to be laid by the side of her departed husband.
(4.) William Wallace, md., March 18, 1790, Hannah Moore, dau. of Robert and Mary Moore, of Londonderry, and settled in this town, where he had been a resident sev- eral years previous ; here he cleared a large tract of land, now and for so many years known as the " town poor-farm," upon which he erected large and substan- tial buildings. He acquired a high reputation as a stock-raiser, particularly of horses and cattle. In early life he learned the trade of making large and small wheels for spinning wool and flax, which occupation he followed until the introduction of other machinery for that purpose. He excelled as a teacher, governing quietly but wisely, and always secured the respect and attention of his pupils. Included in his education was a thorough and practical knowledge of surveying. He assisted in surveying this town, and made a map of the same, now in the Secretary of State's office, in pur- suance of a law requiring the same ; he was for many years the principal surveyor and conveyancer for this and many adjacent towns. As a justice he was often called upon to execute the " last will and testament" of friends and acquaintances in this town and vicinity. He represented Henniker in the legislature in 1789-'90, be- fore his marriage, and was at one time a candidate for senator from his district, but failed of an election. He was for many years one of the selectmen of the town, and often presided as moderator at meetings of the town.

He was a man of commanding presence and dignified appearance,-six feet and four inches in height, and weighing, in manhood's prime, 240 pounds. His men- tal faculties were proportioned to his stature and physi- cal strength. It is related of his brother, Judge Robert Wallace, that, while erecting his house, the rooms of which were, for those days, very high-studded, he was asked his reason for their height, when he replied,- "One reason is, my brother William is very tall, and as I want him to visit me, I have the rooms made high." Possessed of great reasoning powers and superior judg- ment, he was always actuated by high moral principles and honest, manly purposes in all his dealings. In his conversation he was very fluent and affable, and in pub- lic was always listened to with marked attention. He lived a life of usefulness, and was much endeared to all who knew him as a man of integrity, and purity of prin- ciple and purpose. He died very suddenly, from the effects of a wound received while felling trees in the woods, in what is known as " Wallace swamp," several miles from his house. His estimable wife was his equal in education, refinement, and rectitude. Both were friends to the poor and friendless, the widow and the orphan, and none knew them but to love and respect them. He d. March 22, 1824; his wife d. Oct. 27. 1833.
