THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
accept your kind invitation to be present at your centennial celebration, and respond to the sentiment; "The Homes of our Youth."
It would give me more pleasure than I can express to meet with you, and assist, not only in celebrating this time-honored day, but in paying a fitting tribute to the one hundredth anniversary of our town.
There is something beautiful in the sentiment, "The Homes of our Youth,"-something that unlocks the floodgates of memory, bringing with it a thousand fond associations of our childhood, rendered more sacred by time and absence.
As I draw aside the curtain that separates the present from the past, I stand once more (in imagination) on my native hills, I gaze again upon the old familiar landscape, I behold once again those youthful faces which have grown with the lapse of years. I see those who with strong hands and wise heads led on our youthful footsteps, and guided us in wisdom's ways, grown gray with years, silently treading the de- clining path of life.
There are others we were wont to meet in the halcyon days of youth, whose forms we see no more. They sleep the sleep that knows no waking. Some fell in life's green spring, when all was beauteous and fair; some, weary and worn with life's burdens, have gladly laid down the cross, that they might gain the better life; some died upon the far- off battle-field, to save the Union and the "Old Flag," beneath whose protecting folds we meet in peace and joy to-day.
They fell in the valley, they fell on the hill-top, they fell in the swamps and morasses of the sunny South. The sun in its diurnal revo- lution looks în upon their lonely resting-places; and the leaves of the trees, as they are tossed by the gentle southern zephyrs, sing their only requiem. They shed their blood that this union might be cemented and preserved; that these homes, around which so many happy memories cluster, might be perpetuated.
You will assemble on that day amid the granite hills to celebrate the centennial of our native town. One hundred years ago the bright sun arose behind yon old Monadnock, and looked down upon a little handful of adventurers, whose only home was the log cabin which they had reared, whose children were rocked to sleep by the lullaby sung by the winds amid the forest trees.
To-day the sun rises as of yore, but it smiles upon cultivated fields and institutions of religion and learning, upon structures beautified by industry and art, upon children and youth developing in their lives the precious precepts and truths instilled in their early home training.
Thank God for the homes of our youth. Their gentle memories and influences linger with us ever, and form, amid the turmoils of after life, the green spots, the sunny pictures to which we turn for refreshing, the shields from devious temptations which assail us.
As we note the mighty progress our town has made in the last century,

as we meet and grasp the warm hands of her cordial sons and daugh- ters, we say, We may find warmer lands, we may travel in fairer climes, we may make more beauteous homes, but there is no other land like thee, there are no homes dearer than these.

Twenty-seventh sentiment: -
Our Patriot Brothers,- For humanity they braved the hazards of war, War gave some to death, the rest she gave back to life. Justice gives all alike the hero's wreath, and gratitude will keep it fresh forever.
LETTER FROM ANDREW C. STONE, ESQ., OF LAWRENCE, MASS.
LAWRENCE, MASS., June 15, 1876.
Messrs. CHAS. K. MASON, CHAS. A. BENIS, and CYRUS E. HARDY, Committee, etc. :
Gentlemen,-I am in receipt of your kind invitation to be present on the coming 4th of July at the celebration of my native town, of her one hundredth birthday, and to say something that will remind her citi- zens of the valor and patriotism of her sons who participated in the late war of the Rebellion.
I regret exceedingly that previous engagements render my acceptance of your invitation impossible. In summing up the record of the good old town of Marlborough for the first one hundred years of her corpo- rate existence, I believe it will be found in all things honorable. And her record of brave sons, which she furnished for our common country's defence when assailed by internal, treacherous foes, is one of which she. may justly feel proud. There were no soldiers in the line more brave than those who came from the "Granite State." Patriotic and intelligent. they fought with a will, and for a purpose which they understood; and by their noble devotion we are enabled to celebrate a national centennial throughout the domain of an unbroken country. I hope and predict for you a glorious celebration. Allow me to offer the following sentiment :-
The Town of Marlborough,- May the modest but noble and patriotic history of her first century run on, into, and through the next, with no stain of dishonor or treachery to blot its brilliant page.
With expressions of personal regard to your Committee, I am yours very truly, ANDREW C. STONE.
LETTER FROM REV. S. LAWS OF AKRON, OHIO.
AKRON, OHIO, June 30, 1876.
Gentlemen of the Committee,- Your courteous invitation to attend the centennial celebration of the incorporation of Marlborough on the day of the great National Centennial Jubilee, was duly and thankfully re- ceived.
387
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
It would give me much pleasure to join with the many friends in the festivities and mutual congratulations of that occasion; but the distance, in connection with other circumstances, will necessarily prevent.
Allow me to say that my heart sympathies are with all who gather on that eventful day, to do honor to their native or adopted town, and to rehearse and work into historic form the hard toils, the brave deeds, the sturdy virtues, and the sagacious enterprise of those whose combined labors have conspired to make the town what it is,- one of great activity, free thought, general intelligence, Christian principle, and temperate habits. And if a very few individuals that could be named would fol- low my example, so far as to leave the town for the town's good, it would be one of the most desirable residences to be found among the rugged hills of my native State. The persistent energy of the present leading spirits might then soon mould it into a comparatively earthly paradise.
My two daughters, eighteen years of whose younger days were spent among you, until they left for collegiate advantages, join with me in wishing you a most joyous festival, and your town permanent prosperity.
Very truly yours, SOLOMON LAWS. P.S .- The following is at your service : --
Marlborough,- May religious progress, sound learning, and pure morals conspire to assuage the sorrows, sweeten the joys, and strengthen the hearts of all her inhabitants.
LETTER FROM A. E. NEWTON OF ANCORA, N.J.
ANCORA, CAMDEN Co., N.J., June 27, 1876.
Messrs. CHAS. K. MASON, CHAS. A. BEMIS, and CYRUS E. HARDY, Committee, etc.
Gentlemen,- I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your kind invitation to attend the centennial .celebration of Marlborough, my na- tive town, on the 4th of July proximo.
It would give me great pleasure to accept this invitation, did circum- stances permit ; but I can only thank you for it, and express my interest in the occasion.
Though my father with his family removed from Marlborough when I was only two years old (i.e., fifty-three years ago), yet there has ever remained imprinted on my memory, as the earliest picture there in- scribed, a scene which had for me a peculiar charm. It presents a group of children, of whom I was the youngest, playing on the borders of a hay-field one summer afternoon, while my father and elder brothers were loading a cart with hay, a short distance off; the "cot where I was born " standing near by, and the majestic form of old Monadnock loom- ing up in the background.
388
HISTORY OF MARLBOROUGH.
It is doubtless owing to my birthplace having been in the midst of such surroundings that I have ever been a great lover of mountains. No landscape seems to me complete or satisfying in which they do not appear. I "pine for the hills," and have long cherished a desire - never yet gratified- to climb to the summit of that grand old pile which stands sentinel over your town and my birthplace. But circumstances compel me to " wait a little longer."
It is said that all fashionable Americans "wish to go to Paris when they die." My preference would be, decidedly, to go to old Monadnock.
Wishing you and your town's people (who, so far as I know, are all strangers to myself) much pleasure and profit from this centennial occa- sion and all desirable prosperity for the century to come,
I am very respectfully yours, A. E. NEWTON.
The following poem was composed by Mrs. H. C. Piper, of Dublin, a native of Marlborough : -
OUR FATHERS.
Our fathers, though they've passed away, And mouldered in the dust, Yet sweet the memories they leave, The records of the just. The warfare well did they endure, The tried and true were they : A sterner life to them was known Than in our later day.
Oh! let us bless the patient love, That strong, unflinching will, That moved them on to do and bear, Their place so well to fill. Unlettered oft in books and art, They sought to smooth the way, That those who follow in their path May walk in learning's ray.
Their childlike faith and Christian hope Are lamps about our feet : These were the sources of their strength, Here found they joys most sweet. Their virtues we will strive to gain, And Christian graces bright ; We humbly hope at last to reach, With them, the land of light.
389
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
It was unanimously voted to call henceforth the name of the place where the celebration was held CENTENNIAL HILL.
Col. Cyrus Frost, one of the oldest persons present, who remained on the ground until near the close of the exer- cises, moved that, "when we adjourn, we adjourn to meet here one hundred years from to-day, for the celebration of our second centennial."
It was decided by vote, after considerable discussion, all of which was most friendly and pleasant, that the name of the river on which our pleasant village is located should henceforth be Minnewawa, signifying pleasant sound.
The following farewell hymn, composed for the occasion by Rev. Noble Fisk, was omitted, as the choir, together with the player and organ, had left the ground at the approach of the gale which sprung up while Mr. Converse was speak- ing, as before mentioned : -
HYMN.
Father, we humbly pray Thy hand of love May guide our pilgrim way To worlds above,- Unto the perfect day, In Heaven's own light to be
Nearer, our God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
God bless our native town, To us so dear ! With purpose grand and high, With love and fear, May we draw nigh to thee, Thus, pure and good, to be Nearer, our God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
Centuries flying past On lightning wing, Ages that ceaseless roll, Oh ! may we bring
390
HISTORY OF MARLBOROUGH.
A nobler type of soul, By greater love to be Nearer, our God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
If led by God's own hand To realms of day, We need not stop to grieve : Farewell we say, In bliss supreme to be, Thronghout eternity, Nearer, our God, to thee, Nearer to thee.
It was after five o'clock when the exercises were brought to a close. Thus passed a day long to be remembered in the history of Marlborough. It was an occasion which was eminently calculated to unite heart to heart, and to cement in still stronger union the ties of brotherhood,-a day in which the lights and shadows of the past, mingling with the bright joys of the present, spread a lustre over the century of the town's history, and inspired the fondest hopes that her future will never be shadowed by misfor- tune or darkened by crime, but be enlivened by progress, brightened by prosperity, and rendered more resplendent by intelligence and virtue.

GENEALOGICAL REGISTER
OF THE
FAMILIES OF MARLBOROUGH:
THE preparation of the following genealogies has been the work of years; and, although it is not to be presumed they are free from errors, yet care has been taken to make them as accurate as possible. To secure these registers, hundreds of letters have been written, and the records of many of our New England towns, as well as county records, have been carefully examined. Much information has been gleaned from Bond's Genealogies of Families of Watertown, Waltham, and Weston ; Hudson's His- tory of Marlborough, Mass., and the Histories of Newton, Fram- ingham, and Winchendon, Mass., also the Histories of Dublin, Rindge, Troy, Mason, and Temple, N.H. I have also availed . myself of the various genealogies that have been published that relate to the Marlborough-families. I am also indebted to Rev. S. Hayward, the Historian of Gilsum, and H. C. Tenney of Orange, Mass., for much valuable information.
Owing to the great carelessness in keeping family records, much trouble and inconvenience have been experienced. I have solicited information from private sources wherever it was attain- able, and in many instances from those who were indifferent, and, if such persons find the record of their families incomplete, let them remember their negligence and charitably overlook the omissions.
In the arrangement of the genealogy, the plan used in the History of Rindge, by Ezra S. Stearns, has been followed.
52
EXPLANATIONS .- In the registers, the name of the parent is given in full and printed in small capitals. His children's names are printed in italics, and are numbered in Roman numerals, I., II., III., etc. When- ever the names of the grand-children of the person whose name intro- duces the paragraph, are given, they are indented, printed in lower case, and are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The numbers in the margin are con- secutive ; persons bearing the same family-name are numbered in the order in which they are introduced. The character + after a person's name denotes that the name is thereafter repeated, and can be found by following down the margin until the same number appears enclosed in parentheses.
ABBREVIATIONS .- b. stands for born ; bap. for baptized ; d. for died ; m. for married ; um. for unmarried; dau. for daughter; c. for childless ; æ. for aged ; q.v. for which see register of his or her family; Marl. for Marlborough.

July 19, 1751, was in the field with his father and elder brother when the British went to Lexington from Boston. Two of the British officers went into the house. One ordered his mother, who was sick on the bed, to get up and go out to the loom-house, while . the other poured a basket of chips on the floor, and, taking a brand from the fireplace, put it with the chips in order to set the house on fire. While he was doing this, Joel, another brother of Thomas, a bold, daring boy who was under the bed with two or three of the children, put ont his head and told the officer not to do so; for, if he did, his father " would whip him when he came home." These officers were shot on the threshold of the door. Thomas Adams m., May 28, 1780, Martha Stone, b. Aug. 22, 1750, d. Jan. 15, 1847.
