WILLIAM C.

One article of furni- ture, of which Mr. Mason may be justly proud, is a brass clock of old-time fashion, which has descended to him from his great-grandfather, Richard Clark of Watertown, Mass. This clock was made in London; and, although it has run for a hundred and nineteen years, it still keeps good time, and is said to be good for another century.

He remained in town but a few years, and then returned to his native place.

MCALISTER. McCOLLESTER. COLLESTER.
The McAlister family of this town originated in the following way. During the colonial difficulties, two brothers, John and Samuel, Scotch by birth, were captured and held as prisoners for some time; and when they were set free, instead of returning to their native country, they settled in Dorchester. The descendants of John turned their course to Maine, while those of Samuel came to New Hampshire and Vermont. From this branch, of course, have sprung all whose record is given in these pages. For many years, they spelled their name McAlister; after- wards, by local custom, it was changed to McCollester, and was so written many years. About the time of the French war, it changed again, drop- ping the Mc, and writing it Collester. For the last thirty years, the Mc has been restored by a portion of the family.

ISAAC MCALISTER, b. Sept. 25, 1736; m. Hannah, dau. of William and Keziah (Cloyes) Goddard, b. Jan. 27, 1736. He was one of the proprietors of Monadnock, No. V., and as such he took an active part in the affairs of the town; and it is said that he rendered assistance in the survey of the township, and for his services took his pay in land. His name appears on the proprietors' book as one of a committee of three to lay out and clear a road from Dublin to Keene in 1763. He was the second settler in town, removing his family here in the winter of 1764-65. He first located on the farm now owned by Ansel Nye. But it seems he was not contented with this location, and sold his farm to Jonathan Frost, tak- ing his pay in Continental money. It was his intention to purchase the Converse place, now owned in part by Rev. S. H. McCollester; but in this he was disappointed, and, before an opportunity presented itself for him to buy, his money so depreciated that he became penniless, and was obliged to clear up and settle his only remain- ing lot, which is now known as the Sawyer place, and owned at the present time by Abraham Corey, then considered worthless. Here he continued to reside until his death June 8, 1809. His widow d. March 3, 1814.
