DAKIN FAMILY.
I SAMUEL, son of Dea. Amos and Sarah Thankful (Minot) Dakin, was b. in Mason, Nov., 1770. He was a descendant of Thomas Dakin, who was a resident of Concord previous to 1650. He graduated at Dartmouth college in 1797 : studied the profession of law ; opened an office in Jaffrey in 1801. He resided in the house now owned and occupied by Dr. John Fox, which he built soon after his settlement in town. He was an active business man, and, on finding the business of an attorney-at-law too limited in the town of Jaffrey, he, with others, attempted the manufacture of crockery ware, from clay found in Monkton, Vt. The enterprise failed, and Mr. Dakin left town. While in town he held the office of town-clerk from 1806 till he left in IS15, and was a member of the board of selectmen during the same time. In ISO1, when he first came to town, he was appointed post-master. He re. to Utica, N. Y., afterwards to Hartford, and d. there, Jan. 29, 1844. He m. Polly, dau. of the Rev.

HISTORY OF JAFFREY.
DANFORTH FAMILY.
I JACOB DANFORTH Was an early settler. In the tran- script of a road in 17So. is the name of Samuel Danforth, probably a brother. It seems quite probable that both settled in Jaffrey at about the same time. Jacob was the first proprietor of the Cutter House, and probably built the first building thereon. He also carried on the busi- ness of blacksmithing in the rear of the same, where Arte- mas Lawrence was afterwards engaged in the same business. His last tax was in ISII. He re. to Amherst. and settled in that part of the town known as Danforth's Corner. He m., 1st, Mehitable Lufkin, a sister of Jonathan ; she d.

I JOHN DAVIDSON and his brother Thomas were born in Ireland. came to this country when quite young, and settled with the Scotch-Irish colony in Londonderry. About 1758. John settled in Jaffrey and Thomas in Peterborough. John settled on lot 21, range 3, known as the Patrick farm. afterwards owned by the town, and now (IS73) by Henry K. French, of Peterborough. When the town was organized, in 1773, John Davidson was chosen constable, and warned the next town meet- ing held that year, and the annual meeting of the next year, held March 31, 1774. He afterwards held the offices of fence-viewer. surveyor, tythingman, &c., and was a soldier in the Revolution. He is believed to have been the first settler of the town of Jaffrey.

EMERY FAMILY.
The name Emery is of Norman origin. It was introduced into England in 1066 by Gilbert D'Amory, of Tours, in Nor- mandy, a follower of William the Conqueror, and with him at the battle of Hastings. In 1635, John and son Jolin, and Anthony, his brother, b. in Ramsey, in Nantes, embarked in the ship "James," Capt. Cooper, and landed in Boston, June 3. of that year. John settled in Newbury, Mass., and d. Nov. 3, 1683, a. 85. Anthony settled in Dover, N. H., afterwards in Kittery, Me. They were carpenters by trade. The first set- tler of that name in Jaffrey was Thomas Emery, who was the owner of lot 7, range 5 and 4, range 5 and 9. On one of these lots, the noted Milliken brick tavern, afterwards the farm of John Felt, was located, now (1873) in possession of Levi E Brigham. He settled in town previous to 1770; the last record of him was in 1790, when the town voted to abate his taxes.
