Jedediah Buffum, the first settler on the farm still known by his name near the Four corners, was one of the solid men of the town ; solid in body, solid in mind. His weight was over three hundred pounds, so large, in fact, that at the time of his death that the door-casings were removed for the passing of his coffin. He held the office of town treasurer thirty

years, a much longer time than any other has held the office. He possessed good financial and execu- tive ability, was enterprising and active in business ; he was one of the more wealthy men of the town, was largely engaged in buying and selling land, and in loaning money ; was a farmer and blacksmith ; he built the first store at the middle of the town, and put his son William in charge ; he was benevolently dis- posed, as appears from his gift to the Quaker society ; he died 1808, aged 71.
Capt. Oliver Capron occupied a position of the first rank among the early settlers ; he evidently was a leader in political, as well as in military affairs ; he shared largely the confidence of his townsmen ; he was entrusted with the most weighty responsibilities, as his repeated leadership of the Richmond soldiers, in the war of the Revolution, most conclusively attests. While he was active and zealous in defence of the right, his activity and zeal was tempered with wisdom and prudence. He stands at the head of the list of representatives of the town, having been the first to represent the town in the General Assembly of the state. We are informed by tradition that he devoted so much of his time and attention to military and polit- ical affairs, to the neglect of his personal interests, that he became poor, and was obliged to sell his farm to pay his debts. It is a melancholy reflection surely, that one who had contributed so much to the public weal should, in his last days, be deprived of the means of a comfortable subsistence ; but his was not, perhaps, an isolated and an exceptional case in this respect.
Daniel Cass, the first settler and ancestor of all of the name now in town, was one of the live men of

the early time; was called a "smart man," as un- doubtedly he was, both physically and intellectually. He was a man of considerable wealth, owning large tracts of land, on which he appears to have settled each of his sons ; his place seems to have been the business centre of the town at first, containing a store, blacksmith shop, potash, etc. Was one of the found- ers of the Quaker society. In political matters he probably was radical rather than conservative, as ap- pears from his action in the Vermont controversy. He died in 1798, age 74.
Orison B. Curtis, Esq., son of Orison Curtis, b. Jan. 25, 1825, removed with his father to Colerain, Mass., 1829; he engaged in merchandizing in that town, 1848, in which business he has continued to the present time. He has been school-committeeman and justice of the peace for more than twenty years, and also represented his district in the General Court, 1877-'8.
Kendall Fisher. - Among those who were natives of other places, who have lived herein, Kendall Fisher may be justly considered one of the most active in town affairs, and one whose ability in the transaction of public business must forever remain unquestioned. As a selectman he was discreet and eminently able, and was ever on the alert to devise means to relieve the town of any financial burdens, caused by paupers or otherwise. He was instrumental, about 1852, in transporting two families to the far West, who had been thrown on the town for support, one of which never returned, and the other staid long enough to pay for all expenses of carrying out. The principle involved in such transactions, however, can hardly

be justified under the golden rule, only on the ground that the town, in justice, should not be obliged to sup- port persons born elsewhere, and by reason of settle- ment gained through their grandfathers.
Eliza Ballou Garfield, the mother of the late lamented President Garfield, was a native of Rich- mond. She was the daughter of James Ballou, jr., and her mother was the daughter of Henry Ingalls, Esq. ; hence, both on her father's and mother's side, she descended from Richmond families of an early date. She was born Sept. 21, 1801, on the place where her father lived, in the Ballou neighborhood, but removed with the family, when about two years old, to the Nathan Cass place, and from thence went with her mother to the state of New York, an account of which is more fully related in the genealogy of the family of James Ballou, jr.
John Martin, from whom all of the name in town have sprung, was a man of means and influence in the early times. Was enterprising and active in busi- ness ; he erected a saw and grist mill, and built for himself good buildings soon after he came; he was on the first board of selectmen, in 1765, and again was on the board in 1776. He appears to have been a man of good natural abilities, doubtless, but limited in his literary attainments, having been deprived, in his youth, of the ordinary educational advantages of the times.
Wilderness Martin, grandson of the above named John, was so named because the country round about was indeed one vast wilderness at that time. Many have thought that he was the first white male born

in town, which evidently was not the case, as he was born in 1765, while Lemuel Scott was born 1763, a difference in time so great that it would seem that there could have been no question as to priority of birth.
Joseph and Benjamin Newell, twins, sons of Joseph Newell, were men of mark and prominence in the town, always interested in public affairs, and were generally present at all town meetings. They were well-to-do farmers, and were quite well known in the county ; were of large physique and commanding presence, and they looked very much alike; their height was about six feet, and the average weight of each was about two hundred and seventy-five ; in pol- itics they were divided, and in their opinions they were most decided ; Joseph was a Democrat, and Ben- jamin was a Republican ; their religious views were similar, both favoring the Universalists ; both shared largely the confidence of their fellow-citizens, and were repeatedly honored by being chosen on the board of selectmen, and as representatives to the General Court. They were both men of few words, neither ever attempting to make a speech in town meeting or in any other assembly, so far as is known. They both lived to great age; Joseph lived to be 85, and Benjamin to be 92.
Loren Pickering, son of Samuel Pickering, a na- tive of the town, some of whose early years were spent with his father in Winchester, ranks with jour- nalists of the first class. He removed to the West when a young man, and soon became the editor of a St. Louis paper, which he conducted with signal abil- ity for some years; after resigning this position he travelled extensively in Europe, and then returned

HISTORY OF THE
and settled in San Francisco, where he became editor of a paper called The Morning Call. He appears to have inherited largely the ability characteristic of his ancestors.
Timothy Pickering, Esq., son of John Pickering, who was a direct descendant of the first John Picker- ing, who settled in old Salem, possessed some char- acteristics worthy of note. He bore a striking resem- blance to the picture of old Judge Timothy Pickering, which hangs in the Old South church at Boston. The similarity between the two does not end with the physical likeness ; their mental characteristics appar- ently were much the same ; each possessed a clear, ar- gumentative turn of mind, and were endowed with a forcible use of language. Favoring surroundings and early educational advantages attended the Judge, while his namesake here had to contend with adverse influences which may have hindered his growth and development. The Esquire was always interested in politics ; he never wearied in discussing the merits of candidates, or the policy of parties ; was a strong par- tisan, unyielding and defiant in his opposition to the Federalists and Whigs; his vocabulary of epithets, containing the most withering sarcasm, was inexhaust- ible, which he did not fail to use when occasion re- quired, which was not seldom in times of political ex- citement. In religion he was a Liberal; he was favorably disposed towards the Unitarians, and took an active and foremost part in the formation of that society here. He was by trade a carpenter, a thor- ough workman. He built many houses, and was the contractor for building the Brick meeting-house. He was temperate in his habits, and a despiser of hypo- crites and shams. He died 1844, aged 63.

TOWN OF RICHMOND.
Jonathan Rawson, Esq., was long identified with the town in its social, political, and business relations ; was a successful merchant, and continued in trade longer than any other in town ; held various town of- fices, and was representative to the General Court. He was above trickery and deception, and was always regarded as honorable in his dealings. In politics he was a Whig, and in religion he was a Liberal. He had many friends and but few enemies. He died, 1843, at the age of 59.
Alonzo Rawson, son of Jonathan, after serving as clerk in Lampson's store, at Keene, went to Louis- ville, Ky., and engaged in the wholesale grocery business, in which he continued many years. He accumulated an ample fortune ; has travelled exten- sively, and now resides in Chicago.
Col. Henry Starkey, a native of the town, but for some years a resident of Swansey, is still quite hale and hearty. He is supposed to be next to the oldest person born in town now living. He pre- sents a type of vigorous manhood and muscular de- velopment conducive to the greatest longevity. His mind is still active, and his memory good. He enjoys a joke as of olden time. He was one of the pioneer shook-makers of the town, in which industry his sons have been engaged with marked success. He relates an incident of travel in his younger days, of a journey on foot to Pennsylvania, to visit some friends, when about eighteen years old. This he accomplished, with a pack on his back, in about three weeks, a distance, both ways, of about five hundred miles. He lost his wife some years ago. He has outlived three

HISTORY OF THE
of his sons, and is now living on his homestead with his daughter, Mrs. Taft. He is now 89.
Moses Tyler, Esq., possessed more than ordinary attainments ; was, in fact, well educated, and had superior qualifications for the transaction of town busi- ness, as the records of the town still show, that bear the impress of his hand. He was evidently a good land surveyor and conveyancer. He was peculiar in his temperament, and exceedingly orderly and method- dical in 'his business ; was a man of large physique, weighing nearly three hundred pounds. He died in an apopletic fit, sitting on a rock in a field near Jacob and Samuel Parker's, Nov. 9, 1818, age 68.
Jarvis Weeks, Esq., came to town with his father when he was a young man. He seemingly for a while followed in the footsteps of his uncle Joseph, in holding successively the same offices, up to that of representative, which was the highest point gained. He was mail agent, under the administration of Buchan- an, between Burlington and Boston. He had con- siderable shrewdness in political management. The records of the town kept by him bear witness of his efficiency and competency as town clerk.
Hon. Joseph Weeks acquired more political dis- tinction than any other citizen of the town. He was born in the neighboring town of Warwick, close by the border of this town, but lived most of his life here. His education was limited to the meagre acquirements obtained from the common schools of that period. He possessed a dignified, commanding presence, but in his latter years his physique was somewhat impaired by his corpulency. He shared largely of the confi-

dence of his fellow citizens, as appears from the nu- merous offices he held : of justice of the peace, town clerk, representative to the General Court, assistant judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and, lastly, representative to Congress. He was undoubtedly an adroit political manager, possessed good natural abil- ities, and a more than ordinary stock of mother wit. After his return from Congressional service, he re- moved to Winchester, and lived on the place now owned by Stephen Randall, until his death, 1845.
Peculiar People.
James Harrison Cass was a prodigy, in size at least; he was about six feet and eleven inches in height; his proportions were not particularly sym- metrical ; his great height was caused more by the elongation of his lower extremities, than by length of body ; his feet were correspondingly long and large. A special last had to be made for his shoes (he never had boots), the number of which, by scale of meas- urement, was about No. 17; his ordinary weight probably was not much over two hundred pounds. His mental capacity was evidently, on the whole, less than the average, but his wit and gift of ready retort was fully equal to his fellows. He lacked vitality, died young, barely reaching his majority.
Daniel, the Nig. - About 1828 there lived with Dr. Parkhurst a colored boy by the name of Daniel, who by the boys was called " Daniel, the Nig." He was easy and good-natured, and readily forgave offences, and hence was the subject of frequent jokes that were gotten up at his expense. One of these is remembered as purposely planned, and was carried out accordingly
4
552
HISTORY OF THE
on the dam of the Bark mill-pond in this wise : it was arranged that a platoon of boys should march across the dam, keeping step as soldiers. It was so fixed that Daniel, the Nig, was on the side next the water, and when in the middle, where the water was deep- est, a sudden move of each of one step to the left threw Daniel, the Nig, splashing into the water. He was speedily rescued, however, from his perilous situ- ation, and made to believe that it was simply an acci- dent, for which all were " terrible sorry." He after- wards stole something belonging to the Doctor, and attempted to run away, but was overtaken and brought back; "was sorry," he said, and "knew it was a shame ; but as the devil got into him before he knew it, the devil ought to bear the blame.";
In the early history of the town was a person of now unknown parentage, who had the singular name of Nancy Linty. She was so named, it was said, by reason of the fact that soon after her birth she was placed in some receptacle in which there was an abundance of lint, and this adhering to the child in considerable quantities, suggested to the attendants the appropriateness of the name, and in the absence of any known father she ever went by the name of Nancy Linty. She had a son, named Royal Ormsby, who grew to manhood, and became an active citizen and blacksmith, and removed to Monroe, Mass., about 1813.
Hannah Man was the daughter of Abraham Man, and was of small stature, so small as to be called a dwarf, not much larger than Tom Thumb's wife. She spent the last of her days in the family of Peleg Taft, sr., who married her sister.
553
TOWN OF RICHMOND.
Ruth Ormsby was probably the daughter of Oliver Ormsby, who married Alice Cass. She was never married. Lived at various places, at Moses Tyler's, at Peregrine Wheeler's, and other places. She was a comical genius, occasionally witty, but on the whole was considered below mediocrity. She died about 1830.
Penelope Phillips, known also as Penelope Man, was the daughter of old Gideon Man's wife by a for- mer husband, or else she was illegitimate. She was quite masculine in her general appearance, had a beard, and a voice harsh and coarse ; was quite large and had a commanding way. She evidently pos- sessed good ability, and was a superior manager of out-door business. Her name appears on the list of tax-payers on personal and real estate for several years. She lived with Mr. Man until his death in 1800, and then continued with the mother until her death in 1810, when she removed to Ben. Man's, and again to Major Ebenezer Swan's, where she died about 1818.
Deaf and Dumb.
Rachael fillson, daughter of Paul Jillson, sr., was born deaf and dumb. She had no special opportuni- ties for instruction such as are enjoyed by deaf mutes of the present day. By a system of signs she was enabled to converse with the family on ordinary topics. Her natural capacity for learning was evi- dently good, and she had quite fair and comely fea- tures. She lived, during her last years, with her brother, Silas. She was unmarried, and retained her connection with the Friends' society.
554
HISTORY OF THE
Aldis Boyce, son of Enoch Boyce, had the misfor- tune to be deprived of hearing from birth ; had good capacity for learning ; was educated at the Hartford Deaf and Dumb Asylum ; learned the trade of cabinet- maker; is married, and lives near Malone, N. Y.
Nonagenarians Born in Town.
James Buffum, of Keene, son of Caleb Buffum, of Richmond, b. 1792, is probably the the only native of the town now living over 90 years of age. On a visit paid him in 1882, he appeared to retain a clear recollection of matters in the olden time ; he related interesting incidents connected with his boyhood, about attending school kept by James Ballou, jr., in a part of his house, when he lived in the Ballou neighborhood ; how he peeked through cracks be- tween the apartments to see how fortunes were told, but did not succeed in finding out. He recounted other matters of much interest, pertaining to the early settlers of Gaskill hill and the people of the east part of the town.
Jerahmeel Allen was 91, Jeremiah Barrus was 94, Barnabas Barrus 95, Aaron Harkness 91, Benjamin Newell 92. There may be some others of which we have no account, or which we may have accidentally omitted. Many in town have lived to be as old, but most of them were certainly born elsewhere.
Centenarian Born in Town.
Prudence, daughter of Paul Handy, b. 1777, who married Hendrick Martin and removed to Barton, Ver- mont, probably attained to as great an age as any born in Richmond. An account was given in a newspaper article, a few years ago, of her walking some 10 miles in a day when she was about 97. It is under- stood that she lived to be over 100 years of age.
