EPIIRAIM BROWN.
He is the son of Ephraim and Sarah (King) Brown, and was born October 1, 1819. He gave up his intention of a collegiate course upon his father's death, and took his father's place in the family and on the farm, and taught school in the winter. In 1845 he disposed of the farm, and entered Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and soon after was elected assistant teacher in the Moody Grammar School in Lowell, Massachusetts. In 1850 he engaged in trade, and in 1854 he invented and patented the safety alarm money drawer, which now in some form is in universal use. From 1858 to 1865 he gave popular lectures to lyceums, schools and societies on geology and paleontology. He has spent one season in Europe. In 1848 he was one of the founders of the Howard Life Insurance Company of Boston, and in 1865 was elected its president and treasurer. He was one of the originators of the First National Bank of Lowell in 1864. He is a trustee in the Central Savings Bank of Lowell, and has acted as guardian and trustee in other cases. He is now engaged in the manufacture of cabinet lathes.

chusetts, entered Burlington College, Vermont, studied medicine with Dr. Norman Smith of Groton, Massachusetts, and matricu- lated in Jefferson College, Philadelphia, and in the University of New York. In 1850 he settled in Barre, Massachusetts, in the successful practice of his profession as a physician. In 1851 he became the proprietor of a small institution for the education of feeble-minded children, in Barre, which he and his wife have con- ducted with such ability, skill and success, that it has become an asylum widely known, and second to no other similar one in the world. Dr. Brown spent four months in Europe, in 1873, in visit- ing the principal public, and the most noted private, institutions of this class. He found the reputation of the Barre Asylum had preceded him, and ensured him access and welcome. He has been for several years a councillor of the Massachusetts Medical Society ; he is a member of the New England Psychological Society ; also of the National Association of Superintendents of Asylums for the Insane ; and is president of the Association of American Superin- tendents of Institutions for Feeble-minded Youth. In 1884, besides visiting almost every state in the Union, Dr. Brown spent fourteen weeks in travelling on the Pacific and northwest coast. The buildings and grounds of his asylum manifest great taste, ingenuity and skill in their plan and management, and in their adaptability to supply the wants, cultivate the sensibilities, and secure the com- forts of the inmates. The institution is a great blessing to the unfortunate, and most of those who leave it have become better fitted to bear the burdens and carry on the battle of life.
Dr. Brown married, November 1, 1850, Catharine Wood of Groton, Massachusetts. Mrs. Brown is widely known as a writer for medical and popular magazines, and has furnished copious letters for publication from her note-book of travels in Mexico.
REV. LUBIM BURTON ROCKWOOD.

He studied at New Ipswich Academy, graduated at Dartmouth College in 1839, taught school one year and studied two years at Andover Theological Seminary, ending his studies there in 1843. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1844, and became financial agent of Union Theological Seminary in New York city for seven years. He married, May 1, 1845,

HISTORY OF WILTON.
Abby Ann, daughter of Deacon Ezra Abbot. IIe was installed in July. 1850, over the Congregational Church in Rocky Hill, Con- necticut, as colleague with Dr. Chapin. In 1859 he resigned his pastorate, and became agent for one year of the American Tract Society for Connecticut. In April, 1860, he was appointed secretary of the New England branch of the American Tract Society, and removed to Roxbury, Massachusetts. He had his tract office and depository in Boston, and was engaged in travelling much and in making publie addresses throughout New England. He was distinguished for his efficiency and popular gifts. He continued in this service till his death, May 7, 1872. Ilis widow continues to reside in Roxbury. Mr. Rockwood was an earnest and devoted minister, of great wisdom and usefulness, and exerted a wide-spread influence in the religious bodies to which he consecrated his life.
GEORGE L. DASCOMBE .- BY GEORGE W. BRIDGES.
George L. Dascombe was born in Wilton, April 6, 1818. His early life was spent on the farm, with the privilege of attending the district school during the two terms, summer and winter, of each year. He was fortunate in obtaining instruction for a few terms at the Teachers' Seminary in Andover, Massachusetts. At the age of seventeen he began teaching what was called the winter term in the district schools of Wilton and the adjoining towns ; this occu- pation he followed during the winter for more than thirty years. The writer of this article was one of his pupils for several of those terms, and remembers him as a kind and lenient teacher, taking a lively interest in the best welfare of his scholars, being thorough in his methods, and winning for himself the respect and highest regard of his pupils and also of their parents. He was superintending school committee in this town for nearly twenty years ; sometimes having sole charge, at other times being associated with other gen- themen, in that important office. Mr. Dascombe has always resided in his native town, and when not engaged in the schools, his occu- pation has been farming. He joined the Patrons of Husbandry, held various offices in that body, and was chaplain of the New Hampshire State Grange for six years. He was twice elected to represent the town in the State Legislature, serving in that body in 1858 and 1859.
May 25, 1849, he married JJulia A., daughter of Captain Hermon Pettengill of Wilton. They had only one child, a son, Everard

JOSEPH HALE ABBOT .- BY FRANCIS ELLINGWOOD ABBOT.
Joseph Hale Abbot was the eldest son of Deacon Ezra and Rebekah (Hale) Abbot, of Wilton. Ile was born, September 25, 1802, on Abbot Hill, on the homestead farm originally settled in 1764 by his grandfather, Major Abiel Abbot, one of the most honored men of the town, who, as shown by the original com- missions still extant, had been " Captain of the Ninth Company in the Sixth Regiment of the Militia" of " His Majesty's Province of New Hampshire " under King George III., - successively " Second Major " and " First Major of the Fifth Regiment " of the State Militia in the Revolutionary war, - and for forty consecutive years either town officer in some responsible capacity or town repre- sentative in the State Legislature. That Deacon Ezra Abbot was no less honored and influential in town affairs than his father, is apparent in the fact that he was chosen to be president of the day at the memorable Wilton centennial celebration in 1839. His wife, Rebekah Hale, of Coventry, Connecticut, lineally descended from the Rev. John Hale, first minister of the town of Beverly; Massachusetts, who died in 1700, was daughter of Lientenant Joseph HIale and niece of Captain Nathan Hale, both patriot soldiers in the Continental Army, and the latter famous as the " Martyr-Spy of the Revolution," whose pathetie fate and dying words, " I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country ! " were reverently remembered in that serious New Eng- land household.
In a home dignified and hallowed by. such memories as these, Joseph Hale Abbot passed his early years. He began his prepara- tion for college in his native town under the Rev. Thomas Beede, and finished it, in 1818, under his venerated unele, the Rev. Abiel Abbot, D. D., then principal of Dummer Academy in Byfield, Massachusetts. He was graduated at Bowdoin College in 1822, standing very near the head of his class. After spending a year in Cambridge as resident graduate at Harvard College, he took charge of a select school at Beverly, which he conducted with signal success. From 1825 to 1827 he was tutor and librarian at Bowdoin College, where he taught Latin, geometry, French and Spanish. From 1827 to 1833 he was professor of mathematics

and natural philosophy at Phillips Exeter Academy, then under the charge of his illustrions kinsman, Benjamin Abbot, LL. D., where he gave experimental lectures in chemistry and natural phi- losophy, and where he greatly raised and improved the character of the English department. On May 13, 1830, at Beverly, Mas- sachusetts, he married Fanny Ellingwood Larcom, daughter of Henry and Fanny (Ellingwood) Larcom, and grand-niece of the Hon. Nathan Dane, LL. D., member of the Continental Congress in 1785-88, framer of the famons " Ordinance of 1787," founder of the Dane Professorship of Law in Harvard University, etc. From 1833 to 1859, with some intermissions from impaired health, Mr. Abbot conducted a private school for young ladies in Boston, and gained the highest reputation as an able, conscientious and successful educator. From 1859 to 1860 he was occupied chiefly in preparing scientific definitions for Worcester's Quarto Dictionary. From 1861 to 1867 he was principal of the Beverly High School, and left so deep an impression of his character upon the minds of his pupils, that, on his retirement, they formed the "Abbot Associa- tion," which flourished in great usefulness for many years, in order to perpetuate with grateful affection the memory and influence of his wise instructions. From 1867 to 1872 he resided chiefly in Boston, taking a few private pupils and pursuing his favorite studies. He died at the house of his daughter, in Cambridge, April 7, 1873.
In 1838 Mr. Abbot was elected a resident fellow of the Amer- ican Academy of Arts and Sciences, in which he took the deepest interest to the day of his death, and in which he served with dis- tinction as recording secretary from 1850 to 1852, winning golden opinions by the unusual accuracy and fulness of his minutes of scientific discussions and contributions. In October, 1840, he pub- lished in Silliman's Journal the first complete scientific explanation of the "Pneumatic Paradox," describing new and original experi- ments of great interest and value. In June, 1848, he published in Littell's Living Age an important article on "Principles Recog- mized by Scientific Men Applied to the Ether Controversy," and in the Atlantic Monthly, June, 1868, another on "The Discovery of Etherization." He also contributed to the North American Review, October, 1856, a review of " Consolations of Solitude," a book of poems by Dr. John W. Randall, grandson of Samuel Adams, which deserves to be far more widely known than it is. For the last fifteen years of his life Mr. Abbot was laboriously preparing an

original work on English grammar, incorporating methods and results of a life-time of sagacious study ; but he did not live to complete it.
Fifty years of patient, painstaking, conscientious labor as a teacher and scholar-there is little to dazzle the imagination in such a career as that. But the love, respect and veneration of his pupils, many of whom attained great distinction in after-life, and above all the consciousness of duty done, were to him the sweetest of all rewards. In outward manner grave, dignified and courtly, yet always considerate and kindly, he speedily won and lastingly retained the hearts of his scholars. Absolute truthfulness, a chival- rous love of justice, an integrity of the intellect no less than of the life, yet with this an almost womanly tenderness of soul, were the bed-rock of his character. No juster tribute was ever paid than these words of his widow, who for ten years survived him : " Intel- lectual superiority and moral purity -those were the qualities I first required in my maiden ideal of a life-companion ; and, looking for these in your father, I was never disappointed."

CHAPTER XXX.
GENEALOGIES OF FAMILIES.
In this chapter we have endeavored to give the abridged genealo- gies of Wilton families, native or resident. It has been a work of much labor and perplexity, and not unlikely, with our utmost care and caution, it will be found to have many errors and omissions. Many families do not keep accurate records of the births, mar- riages, places of residence, and deaths of their own kindred. In submitting this part of the History, therefore, to the public, the authors crave the indulgence of readers and critics. We can only say that we have done what we could, not what we would. We have sought also to systematize the work, and to reduce the broken and fragmentary details, which have been collected, into such order and form that they may be easily intelligible. By this uniformity we trust that greater facility may be gained in deciphering what to strangers may be but dry and nninteresting bundles of facts, but what to relatives and friends glow with life and reality, and touch the holiest chords of memory and affection. Also we hope that families may be awakened to the value and importance of more full and accurate records of their domestic life, so that the chroniclers of 1987 may not experience the same embarrassment and trouble we have had in tracing the genealogy of families of the last century and a half of our history.
The limitation of space has made it necessary to arrange the gene- alogies as concisely as is consistent with ease of comprehension. The numbers in the margin of the genealogies serve to facilitate reference and to enable the reader to trace ancestry or descent. Each person has a number; and those who became heads of fami- lies are numbered twice. The name of each head of a family is printed in small capital letters ; the enclosed number following his

name refers back to his position as child. The names of his chil- dren follow, printed in small letters, each with a marginal number ; the enclosed number after the name of a child points out his future position as head of a family. To illustrate by example : if we wish to trace the ancestry of Charles A. Baldwin, whose marginal number in the Baldwin genealogy is 112, we shall find his father's name by looking for the name printed in small capital letters next above his. We find it thus : " 109, John Bradley (58)." If we turn to 58, and look for the name in small capital letters next above, we learn that John Bradley's father was " 55, Loammi ;" and so we pass through " 13, Timothy," "1, John," "3, John," " 2, Thomas," until we come to " 1, John Baldwin," the original emi- grant. It will be observed that the surname, when it is the name common to the family, is omitted to avoid needless repetition ; when any are recorded having a different surname from that of the family in which they are classed, that name is always given, but is enclosed within marks of parenthesis to show that it is not a middle name. The following abbreviations will be frequently used : b. for born ; ch. for child or children ; n. ch. for no children ; d. for died ; dan. for daughter ; gen. for genealogy ; grad. for graduate or grad- uated ; m. for married; unm. for unmarried ; res. for resides, resided or residence.
ADAMS FAMILY .*
1. DANIEL EMERSON ADAMS, b., Camden, Me., June 22, 1832. He was the son of Rev. Darwin Adams, who was the son of Daniel Adams, M. D .. for many years a physician in Mont Vernon, whose practice extended into Wilton, and who was well known as the author of Adams's Arithme- tie and other school books. Mr. Adams's mother, Catharine H. Smith. was dan. of Rev. Eli Smith, minister for thirty-six years of the Congrega- tional Church of Hollis, and was a descendant of Rev. Daniel Emerson. the first minister of Hollis, and well known in Revolutionary history. Mr. Adams graduated at Bangor Seminary in 1860, and has been settled as a Congregational minister successively in Wilton, 1860-1876, Ashburnham, Mass., and Sonthborough. Mass., where he now resides.
