2. AsA, son of preceding. soon after coming to Wilton. went to Mont Vernon. where he learned the tanner's and shoe maker's trade. In 1819 he purchased of William Parker of Wilton his tannery, and soon com- meneed shoe making, using himself the stock from his tannery. He con- tinned to carry on tanning and shoe making until 1830 or 1831, when he sold ont to Marden & Mills, and removed to Ashburnham. In 1832 he returned to Wilton and built the brick house at the Centre, now owned by Mrs. Henry II. Livermore. He carried on his business at the Centre for several years, when he removed to the East village, where he remained the rest of his life. Several persons were at different times partners with him : namely, his son. Warren Jones, William Lane, Samuel Putnam. Moses Clark and Calvin B. Dascomb. The business was carried on by Mr. Jones and his successors until about 1881, when competition with manufacturers, who had introduced improved machinery, made it imprac- ticable to continue the business without a new outtit of machinery. The sales were wholly with the country trade, and no goods gave better satis- faction than those made at that establishment. Mr. Jones m .. Sept. 11. 1819. Uney Flint of Mont Vernon. See Flint gen.

Whiting as employers. He has been for several years one of the police. Some years ago he built a honse in the south part of the village, and in 1882 he purchased the sontheasterly part of the Samuel Hutchinson farm, lying on the south side of the Souhegan river.

KENNEY FAMILY.
1. DAVID KENNEY was probably the first blacksmith in Wilton. We learn from the transcript of a road. dated 1765, that he had a shop on the west side of the road, and the north side of the brook, near where Cragin's factory now stands. In Quarter Master Frye's ammunition account is the following item : " June 17, delivered 550 rounds for Capt. Crosby's co. to David Kenney." He was in Capt. Goss's eo. at the battle of Bennington. We have found no record of his family. but he undoubtedly had four children :
