* "The said wearsmen are to have six thousand of fish (alewives), each of them for their ground, (fer- tilizer for their corn)" etc., etc. In 1652, The Fresh Creek mill privilege was granted to William Furber, William Wentworth, Henry Langster and Thomas Can- ney, at a rate of six pounds for the wood, and ten shil- lings for every such mast as they may make use of. In 1654, he was appointed steward to collect all rents due the town. In 1675, July 15, William Furber, An- thony Nutter and John Woodman were chosen "to treat and discourse with the selectmen of Portsmouth and of the Isles of Shoals or other meet persons" about "rais- ing money for the relief of those who have suffered
84
either by their estates or services in the present war with the Indians." He was elected one of the selectmen in 1651 and several times after that. He was Commis- sioner several years ; lot layer, and frequently on com- mittees to settle boundaries; moderator of town meetings numerous times. His name is on the tax lists from 1648, the earliest extant, down to 1674, when he gave his farm to his son William, and was one of the large tax-payers. It is generally stated that he died in 1692, but Rev. Dr. Quint in his Historical Memoranda, No. 157, says :- "he was alive 1 Dec. 1696, but dead in 1699."

GIBBONS, AMBROSE, first comes to view as steward of Capt. John Mason at Newichawannock, though it has been asserted that he began a settlement at Cape Ann in 1621. In 1634, land was granted to him at Sanders Point, between Little Harbor and Saga- more Creek. He soon moved to Oyster River, in Dover. He is mentioned as Captain in 1642. He was one of the
·
85
Selectmen of Dover in 1647 and 1648. He died 11 July, 1656. His wife's name was Rebecca ; she died 14 May, 1655. Their only child, Rebecca, m. 13 Nov., 1637, Henry Sherburne. She died 3 June, 1667. He was an honest, capable and faithful steward, and knew better than his employer what the plantation needed.
The land that he bought at Oyster River was the farm known as the Robert Burnham farm, of which see an account under Mr. Burnham's name in this book. It may have been the same place where the old cellar now is that he built his house; probably it was the Gibbons house that Burnham at first lived in. (It is an inter- esting fact, too, that there once lived Capt. John Ma- son's steward who came over in 1631.) His only daugh- ter, Rebecca, m. Henry Sherburne of Portsmouth; to their son, Samuel, grandfather Gibbons gave the farm at Oyster River, and Samuel sold it to Robert Burnham, as elsewhere noted. This is one of the historic farms of Durham.
The plantation at Newichawannock (now South Berwick) was begun, probably, in 1631. Ambrose Gib- bons had charge. Mason and others wrote to him un- der date of Nov. 5, 1632, "We praie you to take care of our house at Newichawannock, and to look well after our vines; also you may take some of our swine and goates, which we pray you to preserve." This implies that a house had been built sometime before and vines planted. Here trade was carried on with the Indians, who sometimes came to the number of one hundred. A deposition shows that a piece of land was purchased of the Indians. It probably lay on both sides of the Little Newichawannock River, now called Great Works River. July 13, 1633, Gibbons wrote Mason that Thomas Warnerton had charge of the house at Pascata- qua, or Little Harbor and had with him William Cooper, Ralph Gee, Roger Knight and wife, William Dermit and one boy. Certainly this was not a large colony, but Capt. Walter Neal, Mason's agent in the
-
86
beginning of the settlement at Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth), in 1630, had been ordered, previously, to dismiss his household and return to England for consultation regarding the settlement. With Gibbons at Newichawannock there were his wife and daughter Rebecca, who later became the wife of Henry Sher- burne, Charles Knil, or Neal, Stephen Kidder or Ted- dar, Thomas Clark and Thomas Crockett, who is some- times called Crockwood. Gibbons was then planning to withdraw from the service of Mason and settle at Sanders Point, near Portsmouth. He appears to have lived at this point until his daughter married, in 1637, Henry Sherburne; soon after that he gave to the daugh- ter that place and he came up to Oyster River, as before stated, where he resided till his death in 1656.
Before going to Sanders Point to reside he wrote to Capt. Mason as follows: "You complain of your re- turns ; you take the course to have little. A plantation must be furnished with cattle and good hired-hands, and necessaries for them, and not thinke the great looks of men, and many words will be a means to raise a plantation. Those that have been heare this three year, som of them have neither meat, money nor clothes -a great disparagement. I shall not need to speak of this ; you shall heare of it by others. For myself, my wife and child and 4 men, we have but Į a bbl. of corne beefe, and pork I have not had, and no peese this three months, nor beare this four months, for I have had for two and twenty months but two barrels of beare and two barrels and four booshel of malt; our number com- monly hath been ten. I nor the servants have neither money nor clothes."
It is no wonder that the faithful steward gave up such a hopeless job and made his new home at Sanders Point.

GODDARD, JOHN, 1608-1660. He was one of Capt. John Mason's colonists who came over in the ship "Pied Cow," and landed in a cove a short distance be- low Quamphegan Falls (South Berwick), 13 July, 1634. He helped build the saw mill and grist mill at Great Works. Mr. Goddard was a carpenter and was under contract, with others, to work for Mason five years; it appears he worked only three years, so in April 1653 Joseph Mason brought an action against Goddard "for breach of contract in not keeping the saw mill and a corne mill in repayer and worke the full time of five years, etc." Goddard had come down river to Dover, where he got land on better terms than he could around the "Great Works." He had a lot on Dover Neck in 1648. He was made freeman in 1653, and he is fre- quently mentioned in the Dover records. He owned land at Oyster River and other parts of the old town; he was famous as a mill builder, being more active in business than in politics. His four daughters married men who became distinguished in the town and pro- vince.

GOWEN, WILLIAM, was born in Scotland about 1640 ; he came over before 1686 when he first appears in Kittery. He seems to have been a promising young man, as 14 May 1667, he was married to Elizabeth Frost, daughter of the wealthy Nicholas Frost of that town. He prospered in business and in 1670 the town granted him a house lot. He died 2 April 1686.

GILMAN, JOHN, 1624-1708. He was born in England and came to Exeter in 1649. He immediately became prominent in the affairs of the town. He was in partnership with his brother Edward engaged in the saw mill and lumber business, until his brother was lost at sea in 1653; he then inherited a large share of his brother's property and carried on the business alone and did much in developing the resources of the town. He was chosen selectman more than one half of the years between 1650 and 1680. He was repeatedly elected Commissioner to end small cases. He served on important committees for the town. The town gave him grants of land, and the special right of a grist mill. For two years he was Associate Judge in the Court of old Norfolk County. He was one of the first Councillors when New Hampshire was made a province separate from Massachusetts. In 1682 he was ap- pointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1693, he was Speaker of the House of the Assembly. The thing that is to his lasting memory is the log house, built in 1650, that was a garrison in Indian war times, and is now standing and well preserved. When Daniel Webster attended school at Exeter Academy he had a room in that house. This room is carefully pointed out to visitors. John Gilman m. 30 June Elizabeth Tre- worthy. He died 24 July 1708; she died 8 September 1719.

GLANDFIELD, PETER. It is not known at what time he became a resident of Dover, but he had been here sometime before 1663 when he was the owner of land and other real estate and his name is on the tax list that year. Later he lived at Old Kittery and finally at Portsmouth. He was a tailor by trade. He appears to have been very outspoken in his opinion of the rulers of the province, so much so that he was fined for what he said against Gov. Cranfield. His daughter, Ruth, married Henry Kirke.
Children: (1) Ruth, m. (1) Caleb Stevens; (2) Henry Kirke .- (2) Peter. There must have been a son Peter, as the father was called "Senr." Apparently his widow Margery married William Broad, as she was mother of Peter Glanfield's two grandchildren accord- ing to an early petition .- (3) Possibly Robert Gran- field who had son Peter born at Salem 1670.

GORDON, ALEXANDER, was one of Cromwell's Scotch prisoners, sold into New England. His children were recorded at Exeter, 1664-1682, by Mary, daughter of Alexander Lisson of Exeter. He did service in the second Indian war, but died in 1697, survived by his wife.

HALL, DEACON JOHN, 1617-1694. He was born in England, 1617, and came to Dover with his father, John Hall, before 1640, as in that year he or his father signed the Combination agreement for good government. In 1650, the assessors found in Dover three John Halls-John, John, Jr., and Sergeant John. Of these it appears that John Hall, Jr., was the man who became the first Deacon of the First Church, and is first mentioned as such-"Deacon Hall"-in 1657, and always after that is spoken of by that title. Just where John Hall, Sr., resided is not known ; he appears to have been in other places from time to time, but he was in Dover in 1650. Nothing more can be said about him, but his son, John, Jr., had much to do with public affairs and was largely engaged in private business, lumbering and shipping. His ship landing was on Back River, and is known to this day as "Hall's slip." The spring of water, known as "Hall's Spring," is near the landing, and many families, of the first settlers, obtained their supply for domestic purposes from it; the water is excellent to this day. In 1902, Col. Daniel Hall had a curbing placed around it, which bears the name "Hall's Spring." Deacon Hall's residence was on the west side of High Street next south of the Church lot, where the second meeting house was built in 1654. There was a lane from his house to his land- ing on Back River. In the closing years of his life his son Ralph lived there with him, and after the death of the Deacon in 1694, so continued till his death in 1706.
The reason the Church had no deacon before 1657, is that the ruling elders, Elder Nutter, Elder Starbuck and Elder Wentworth performed the duties of deacon;
91
in 1654 the Church commenced holding service in the new meeting-house, so in 1657 the first deacon was ap- pointed, and John Hall was the man selected for the office. This shows that he was held in high esteem by the Church and the town at large. In 1659, he was chosen town clerk, but for some reason not explained, the court refused to swear him into office, and the old clerk, Lieut. William Pomfrett, was retained in office, to which he was first elected in 1647, and held it con- tinuously to 1670, when Deacon Hall was elected and was sworn into office; he held the office till 1686. He was one of the selectmen in 1660 and was re-elected in several years following. He was one of the Commis- sioners, for settling small cases, for several years, and in that capacity saved much litigation in the higher courts of the Colony. For many years he was one of the town's Lot Layers, whose business it was to set the bounds of lots, when land was granted to citizens, and to settle disputes about boundaries. He was a peace- maker among his fellow citizens. They trusted to his judgment. Deacon Hall is one of the most interesting characters in the early settlement on Dover Neck. He received a number of grants from the town, and must have led a very busy life. 1 February, 1685, he deeded one half of his property to his son Ralph, "on account of age and weakness," and Ralph came to live with him. His wife's name was Elizabeth, maiden name unknown.
Children: (1) John, b. 1644; d. 1697, being then a member of the Provincial Assembly ; he was drowned April 28, as he was coming up the river from Ports- mouth, in a little float ; married 8 Nov., 1671, Abigail, dau. of John and Abigail (Nutter) Roberts. John Roberts was son of Gov. Thomas Roberts and Abigail was daughter of Elder Hatevil Nutter. John Hall's widow married 24 Oct., 1698, Thomas Downs of Cochecho, who was killed by the Indians in 1711, in the locality known as the "Ricker Field."-(2) Ralph, date of birth unknown; m. twice, name of first wife not
92
known; m. 2d, 26 May, 1701, Mary, dau. of Philip Chesley ; Ralph Hall, d. 13 Nov., 1706; his widow m. John Foye, of Dover .- (3) Hatevil .- (4) Nathaniel, whose wife's name was Hannah; they lived at Back River, in Dover .- (5) Grace, b. 16 March, 1663-4.

HALL, LIEUT. RALPH, 1619-1699. He was son of John Hall, Sr., and brother to Deacon John Hall. The first we know of him was at Exeter; the tradition is that he was at the falls there before Mr. Wheelwright commenced his settlement, by purchase of land from the Indians. He had come to Dover, no doubt, soon after the settlement was commenced on Dover Neck, and it was an easy matter to go up river to the falls of the Squamscot River and select a place for an abode in the woods. He helped organize the town and signed the Combination agreement for good government, as his autograph is on that document; we do not know whether or not he remained there until he commenced his residence at Dover Neck in 1650, but he was a resi- dent of Dover from that year until 1664, and was prominent in the business affairs of the town. He ap- pears to have been busy in land speculations elsewhere before coming to Dover to live. At Charlestown, Mass., 17-6-1647, he mortgaged to Thomas Gardiner of Roxbury, land which he bought of Edward Burton, on "Misticke side." Again he is on record as "Ralph Hall of Charlestowne," who conveyed, 15-7-1648, 20 acres on "Misticke side" to William Brackenburry of Charles- towne; the last sale that appears there is 2-2-1649, when "Ralph Hall and Mary, his wife" conveyed 60 acres in Charlestowne to Richard Cooke of that town. He commenced his residence in Dover in 1650, and dur- ing the 14 years he resided here he was honored with
93
the rank of Lieutenant of the militia company of the town. He was one of the selectmen for a few years ; Commissioner for settlement of small cases, etc. In 1664, he sold his house on High street to Rev. John Reyner, and soon after went to Exeter to reside, and lived there the rest of his life. He was Delegate from Dover in the First New Hampshire Assembly, that is when New Hampshire came into existence, in 1680. He was one of the influential men of Exeter and held vari- ous offices that were conferred upon him by his fellow citizens. He was a very keen business man, but honor- able in all of his dealings. He was living in 1690; date of death is not known.

HALEY, ANDREW, 16-1697. He was largely engaged in the fishing business at the Isles of Shoals at an early date; that he was a man of influence there is manifest by the fact that he was known as "King of the Shoals." He bought land in York in 1662 and sold it in 1684. He married Deborah, dau. of Gowen Wil- son. She was made admx. of his estate in 2 Dec. 1697.

HAMMOND, MAJOR JOSEPH, son of William and Benedictus Hammond, was born in 1646. His father, William, was settled in Wells before 1663. Probably he was from Slymsbridge, England. He was born in 1597 and died in 1702, aged 105 years. His wife's name was Benedictus. Old records say that he had sons Jonathan and Joseph; Jonathan had wife, Mary, and was killed and scalped by the Indians in 1704. It was perhaps his widow that married James Welch in 1709. A Jonathan, Jr., is mentioned in Wells in 1709. Samuel Hammond bought land in Wells in 1713. Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan Hammond, married Samuel Ford of Charlestown, Mass. Another daughter, Mary, married Samuel Treadwell. Abraham Hammond was in Biddeford in 1720.
Major Joseph Hammond married before July 5, 1670, Catherine, widow of William Leighton and daughter of Nicholas Frost. He died 20 Feb. 1710. She died 15 Aug. 1715 in the 83d year of her age. Ma- jor Hammond had a garrison house near Franks Fort. He was many years Town Clerk, also Selectman and Representative many times, in the General Court in Boston; he was Recorder of Deeds, Councillor, and Judge of the Court of Common Pleas; in early life ho was Captain, and for many years was Major of the militia in Indian war times.

HEARD, CAPTAIN JOHN, 1610-1688. He was born in England and was brought up a sailor. In early manhood he became master of a ship, and followed the seafaring life until he was about forty-five years old. The date of his first voyage up the Pascataqua River is not known, but it was before 1640, as in that year the town of Dover granted to John Heard "6 yeckers of land in Cochecho Marsh." This would not have been done had he not been one of the well established citi- zens of the town. Also that year he signed the Com- bination Agreement for Good Government. At this time his house of abode was on High street (Dover Neck), adjoining "Captain Richard Walderne's lot." (See map of Dover village of that date.) The Captain of that date later became Major Walderne. These two men appear to have been in business together for a number of years following that date.
A deed given March 1, 1649, reads : "John Heard of the River Pascataquacke, planter, (sold) to George Walton, of the same place, taylor, one neck of land called muskito liinge, on the Great Island." (New- castle.) Feb. 26, 1656, 40 acres were granted to John Heard "lying to the northward of Half Way Swamp, on the north side of a 20 acre lot granted to John Ard- way, 40 rods in breadth by the Cartway, or path which goeth to the Marsh." This was the land on which he built his garrison house, which stood where the brick house now stands, known as the "Bangs" house, at Garrison Hill. The "cartway" is now called Central Avenue. John Heard received other grants, one of which is what is known as the Guppy farm, which be- longs to the City of Dover, by Will of the late Jeremy Belknap Guppy. So the original grant has come back to Dover, the original grantor, in 1650, to John Heard.
In 1655, both Capt. Heard and Capt. Walderne were living at "Cochecho-in-Dover", the latter at the falls of the river, and Heard at Garrison Hill. The indi- cations are that up to that time Capt. Heard had
96
worked for Capt. Walderne in the way of shipping his lumber to foreign ports, particularly to the West Indies, where Dover merchants had a big trade with Barba- does. After they moved up to what is now the center of the city, Capt. Heard engaged in farming and lum- bering, and was often called upon to serve his towns- men in official capacities, as the town records show. He was land surveyor, grand juror, constable, referee in settling land disputes, where one grant to one man overlapped a grant made to another, etc., etc. In the Mason law suits he was one of the prosecuted land owners, and fought the claim until the farmers won their case.
His house was converted into a garrison by a stockade around it, soon after 1675, but the Indians never troubled it while the Captain lived ; they received favors from his good wife, which they did not forget at a later period. Capt. Heard died 17 Jan. 1688, about six months before the great massacre, in which Major Walderne lost his life. At that time his garrison was attacked, but not captured. The story of the defense is interesting but need not be told here.
John Heard married, about 1642, Elizabeth Hull, daughter of Rev. Joseph Hull, of York, Me., (at that time). He was born in England in 1594, and gradu- ated from Oxford University in 1614. He was teacher, curate and minister in the Church of England before coming to New England, in 1635, and settled at Wey- mouth, Mass., with a company of one hundred and six persons. Following that he served as a Puritan minis- ter in various churches. He was at York in 1642-45. Later he was minister at Oyster River; just when he went there is not known, but he was there in 1662-63. After that he was minister at the church, Isles of Shoals, and died there 18 Nov. 1665. He is pioneer ancestor of several of the "Piscataqua Pioneers," and deserves mention as such. He was an able pioneer, a devout minister, and a useful citizen, wherever he dwelt.
97
He had a large family of children, one of the eldest of whom was John Heard's wife, who was born in Eng- land and came over with her parents in 1635. She was an excellent and brave woman, and some of her de- scendants regard her as one of their pioneer ancestors whom they most highly esteem. The story of how she escaped being killed by the Indians at the time of the massacre, 28 June 1689, shows that she had befriended the Indians, and they remembered her kindness when they looked her in the face, when about to kill her, and turned away, leaving her unharmed. Rev. John Pike speaks of her in his Journal as "a grave and pious wo- man, a mother of virtue and piety, and also the mother of thirteen children." She died 30 Nov. 1706. The Will of John Heard is dated April 2, 1687 ; it was pro- bated in 1692.
