BLOOD FAMILY.

5. FRANCIS, third child of preceding. b .. Concord. Mass., March 18. 1734-5. Gen. Francis Blood settled in Peterborough Slip in 1763. and, according to Mr. Daniel Heald. "held as many offices of honor and trust during the Revolution as any man in the state." He practised some fine strategy, at the time Temple was incorporated, in getting the tenth range of Wilton lots included in Temple. - The inhabitants of Peterborough Slip had petitioned the governor and council to have one or two of the west ranges of Wilton brought into Temple, and had appointed Gen. Blood their agent to manage the matter. The inhabitants of Wilton, in town meeting assembled. on April 27. 1768. appointed Joseph Butterfield and James Dascomb their agents to oppose the petition of Peterborough Slip before the governor and council. Tradition says that Gen. Blood and Mr. Butterfield met and had some talk of going to Exeter together. But Gen. Blood wished to anticipate Mr. Butterfield, so he borrowed from Col. Towne of New Ipswich. his horse. hat, wig and complete costume and started for Exeter. As he passed Mr. Butterfield, who was standing in his door waiting, the splendid horse and imposing costume so attracted Buttertiekdl's attention that he did not recognize the man. When the Wil- tou agents reached Exeter they found Gen. Blood there before them. and the business so arranged that they could not prevent the tenth range of lots from being incorporated into Temple. Gen. Blood m. Elizabeth Spaulding of Pepperell, Mass. Nine children.
6. FRANCIS. son of preceding. b. Dec. 11. 1767. Major Francis Blood in. Rebecca Parlin of Carlisle, Mass. Of their eleven children. the six named below have either lived in Wilton. or had children who live there.
