Children: (1) Benjamin, b. 20 Feb. 1643, at York, Me., where his grandparents (Hull) then lived. It would seem that Capt. Heard had not got his house in order at Garrison Hill at that time. Benjamin m. (1) Elizabeth Roberts, daughter of John Roberts, and granddaughter of Gov. Thomas Roberts; (2) Ruth Eastman. He lived on what is now known as the Guppy farm; his father gave it to him in his Will. The farm passed from Benjamin, Sr. to Benjamin, Jr., who gave it to his son James; and in turn James gave it to his son Benjamin in 1749, who sold it to Capt. James Gup- py in 1767, and it remained in possession of the Guppy family until the death of Jeremy Belknap Guppy in the winter of 1917. The house was built in 1690 by Cap- tain Benjamin Heard .- (2) William, b. ab. 1645; m. --; d. 1675, leaving no children .- (3) Katherine, b. ab. 1647; d. young .- (4) Mary, b. 26 Jan. 1649; m.

HEARD, JOHN, (of Eliot), was in Kittery in 1640; he was not a Dover man, but lived at first on Champernowne's Island. Later he moved up the river, and was living with his wife at Sturgeon Creek in 1645. Her name was Isabel. At the session of the Court held at Saco, 25 June 1640, John Heard of Kittery is on record as being present. The first election of Towns- men or Selectmen was 16 July 1648, and Nicholas Shapleigh, John Heard and Nicholas Frost were chosen, all from what is now Eliot, showing where the greater part of the population of Old Kittery then lived. The fact that a grant of land was made 14 Feb. 1648, by Nicholas Shapleigh, John Heard and Nicholas Frost as agents for the town, is evidence that these men were Selectmen in 1647, and probably before that. In 1652, he was one of the signers to the document placing Maine under Massachusetts. His will dated 3 March, 1675-6, was probated 21 Feb., 1676-7. He gave all his property to his grandchildren, children of his son James, deceased.

HANSON, THOMAS, 1586-1666. He was born in England, where his ancestry is traced back to the 12th century. As to the date of his birth, the following is furnished by Rev. Dr. Everett S. Stackpole, who says: "I found a deposition of Thomas Hanson in the N. Y. Genealogical and Biographical Record Vol. 47, I think. He deposed 7 March, 1636-7, aged 50, concern- ing his brother-in-law, Daniel Paul of Ipswich, Eng- land, later of Kittery. He was born, therefore, in or about 1586. Either he married Mary Paul, or Daniel Paul married Elizabeth Hanson, hence they were brothers-in-law. I take it that this Thomas Hanson is the one who settled in Dover. That same Vol. 47 of N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record contains a deposition by Nicholas Shapleigh of Pescattaqua in New England, 'ubi moram fecit per spacium duorum annorum, antea apud Dartmouth in Com Devon, a nativitate sua, ortus ibide.' The deposition was made 22 May 1645, aged 37."
From the above it appears that Thomas Hanson was here in New England in 1636. His wife's name was Mary Paul; and Daniel Paul's wife was Elizabeth Hanson. This Daniel Paul is first mentioned as a "mariner", which usually meant a master of a vessel, in Boston, 26 August, 1640. He declared himself from Ipswich, England, and gave a letter of attorney for the sale of lands in Ipswich and delivery of money to his wife Elizabeth. It is a fair conclusion that Thomas Hanson was from Ipswich, England, and that he was living in Kittery before he came up to Dover and made his. residence at Knox's Marsh, where the town gave
100
him a grant of land, which has remained in possession of his descendants to the present time (1918).
Thomas Hanson was a resident. of Dover before 1650, according to the town records, in which he is mentioned several times. He was constable, grand juror, petit juror, highway surveyor, and otherwise en- gaged in community work. He was farmer and lum- berman, and prospered in business. In addition to his farm he had other grants of land from the town, one of which was 100 acres of timber land at Salmon Falls River.
Children: (1) Tobias, b. about 1640, probably in Old Kittery (Eliot). His wife's name is not known; she and his mother were captured and killed by the Indians June 28, 1689, when Major Walderne's garri- son was destroyed. He escaped at that time but was killed by the Indians May 10th, 1693 .- (2) Thomas, b. in 1643, probably in Old Kittery (Eliot) ; m. ab. 1678,
Mary -. He inherited the home farm at Knox's Marsh; he made his Will in 1710. They had children : Thomas, b. 1680; John, Nathaniel, Mary, Elizabeth, James and Abigail .- (3) Isaac, b. ab. 1648; he was on the tax list of 1676 and later. He lived on the upper part of Dover Neck Village, on the bank of Fore River. -(4) Timothy, b. ab. 1651; no further record of him. -(5) Mary, and another daughter, name not known.

HODSDON, NICHOLAS, was born in England and came to Hingham, Mass., before 1635, in which place he lived several years and then went to Water- town, where he was living in 1650. In the course of two or three years he came to Kittery, where he is on record as living in 1655, in the upper part of the old town. For a while he is on record as living at Quam-
101
phegan ; his last abode was near Birch Point Brook, in South Berwick. His first wife was Esther Wines, who died 29 Nov., 1647 ; his second wife was Elizabeth who is supposed to be the daughter of John Wincoll.
Descendant: Arthur Clarke Harrington.
HILL, JOHN, 1624-1690. From the evidence ob- tainable it appears that he was born in 1624; that he was son of John Hill of Plymouth, who moved from Plymouth to Boston in 1630, or soon after Gov. Win- throp's company got settled there. He remained there, and was made freeman 18 March 1642. He was much engaged in land speculations, in various places, among them Oyster River-in-Dover. He died in 1647 and his son John received the land. This son was made free- man in Boston 6 March 1645, and came to live at Oyster River before 1650, in which year his name appears on the tax list. He was married 16 Jan. 1656, in Boston, to Elizabeth Strong, and took his bride to Oyster River to live. He held minor town offices, being too busily engaged in business to devote much time to public affairs. He was one of the large tax-payers. His son Samuel married Elizabeth Williams 28 Oct. 1680, and settled in Old Kittery, now Eliot, where he bought land in 1686. which is still in possession of his descendants, never having passed out of the name,-HILL.
Children: (1) Joseph, b. 1657; m. (1) Catherine Knight, (2) Susannah Beedle .- (2) Samuel, b. ab. 1659 ; m. 28 Oct. 1680, Elizabeth Williams .- (3) John, b. 1661; m. Sarah Brackett of Portsmouth .- (4) Ben- jamin, b. 8 April 1665; d. young .- (5) Hannah; m. William Frye of Kittery (now Eliot) .- (6) Elizabeth ; m. John Avery of Stratham.
Descendant: Mrs. Ellen Tasker Scales.
HUCKINS, ROBERT, 1615-1694, was born in England about 1615; when he came to New England is not known, but he was in Dover before 1640, and was
102
a resident on Dover Neck, where he signed the Com- bination agreement for good government; there ap- pears to have been his home for a number of years. He was a seaman and fisherman, in business, but the town gave him a grant of twenty acres of land, on the west side of Back River in 1642, it being lot No. 16 of the historic 20-acre lots. He never lived there; he sold it a few years later. His name does not appear on any tax list, which indicates he was not an owner of real estate. He was in the fishing business, which paid bet- ter than farming and lumbering. His name does not appear on the town records, except in the Combination agreement and in the Back River grant. The name in those instances is spelled Huggins ; the original spelling in Old England was-"Hughkins." The date of his settlement at Oyster River is not known, but probably about 1650. The name of his wife is not known, nor the names of any children, except his son James, who was born about 1642, and was a taxpayer in 1664 and the years following. The last mention of Robert Huckins is by Rev. John Pike in his Journal, in which he says, in speaking of the massacre at Oyster River, 18 July 1694, "Old Mr. Huggins was killed that day." Just where he was at is not stated. He was then about 80 years old. His son :
LIEUT. JAMES HUCKINS was born at Dover Neck ab. 1642 and became a land owner before 1664, somewhere at Oyster River. In New Hampshire deeds, Vol. 3, page 127a, is a deed 19 April 1675 of William Beard and Elizabeth, ux., of "gift gratisly & ffreely to James Huckins, without any entail." This plainly in- dicates that James's wife was daughter of William and Elizabeth Beard; there could be no other reason for such a gift. If so she must have been his first wife, and after her death he married, about 1671, Sarah Burn- ham, daughter of Robert and Frances Burnham, who was the mother of his children. She deposed 31 Dec. 1673 that she was then "about 19 years of age." So she was born in 1654, and was married when only 17.
103
The land that Mr. Beard gave to James Huckins is on the north side of Beards's Creek, on the Coe farm (1918). On this tract he built a garrison house soon after receiving the gift. The house was located a short distance south of the residence of the late Andrew E. Meserve, east of the railroad, as it runs from the Dur- ham station to Dover. In August, 1689, the Indians ambushed and slew him and seventeen men while they were at work in the field which now (1918) belongs to the Joseph W. Coe estate. Here they were all buried, a large mound being placed over their bodies, and it is said that mound has remained undisturbed to this time (1918). In the next century James's son Robert re- built a house on the spot of the old garrison, where several generations of the Huckins family continued to live.
After the Indians had killed the men at work in the field they attacked the garrison-house which was defended by only two boys and some women and chil- dren. They managed to set fire to the roof of the garrison but the boys and women held out till the In- dians promised to spare the lives of all, but after sur- rendering they killed some of the children, and carried away, captives, the rest of the inmates, but one of the boys escaped the next day and came home. The garri- son-house was destroyed. James Huckins's widow was rescued after a year of captivity at Fort Androscog- gin, which was located on Laurel Hill, Auburn, Me.
Some details of this attack have been preserved in a letter of Jeremiah Swayen to Governor Simon Brad- street, dated at Salmon Falls, 7-15-1689. He says,- "A house poorly fortified at Oyster River was taken by ye Enimie being about sixty in ye company ; though part of Cap. Gardner's Compa, lodged the night before at said house, and were moved away about half an hour before ye assault, and were got to Cocheacha, where a post over took them and they faced about and pursued ye enemy but could not find them- One of ye captives
104
made his escape two days after he was taken, whom ye Indians told that they had beleagued the place three days and when they knew how many men belonged to ye house & seeing ym all gathering corn, came and killed them first, and then sett upon ye house where were onely women, children & two Boyes; they killed and Captivated Eighteene persons none escaping." Vol. IX. p. 57, Coll. of Maine Historical Society.
James Huckins's widow, who was rescued by Ma- jor Church after a year's captivity among the Andros- coggin Indians, married (2) Captain John Woodman, 17 Oct., 1700. The Woodman garrison was not far from the Huckins' garrison. She is not named in Capt. Woodman's Will of 20 Dec., 1705.
Children: (1) Robert, b. 12 Dec. 1672; m. Wel- then Thomas; resided on the home farm. He was a prominent citizen of the town and held various town offices. He had a mill on Huckins's brook, that empties into the head of Beard's Creek. His father had a mill there before him, hence was called "miller and hus- bandman."-(2) Sarah, b. 12 Dec. 1674; m. James Chesley .- (3) James, b. 16 July 1675 ; d. s. p.

HULL, REV. JOSEPH, 1594-1665. Thomas Hull married Joanna Peson, 11 Jan. 1572, at Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. Their son, Rev. Joseph Hull, was born in 1594 and graduated at St. Mary Hall, Ox- ford, in 1614. He was a teacher, curate and minister at Colyton, Devonshire, rector at Northleigh, diocese of Exeter, 1621-22, also of Crewkerne. He sailed from Weymouth, England, 25 March, 1635, with a company of one hundred and six persons. He was then forty years old and had a wife, Agnes, aged twenty-five, evi- dently his second wife, and children: Joane, aged 15;
105
Joseph, aged 13; Tristram, aged 11; Temperance, aged 9; Elizabeth, aged 7; Grissell, aged 5; and Dorothy, aged 3. He lived successively Weymouth, Hingham, Barnstable and Yarmouth, Mass., and in York, Maine. He was commissioner and deputy for Hingham in 1638. He was at York 1642-45. Other children were born after his arrival in New England. He returned to England in 1645 and for a time was rector at St. Bury- an, Cornwall. He was serving at Oyster River in 1662, as shown incidentally in a history of the Friends, some of whom made disturbance in his meetings. From Oyster River he went to the Isles of Shoals and was minister there till he died 18 Nov. 1665. His widow, Agnes, administered his estate. Her account says that "the Isles owed him for his ministry twenty pounds." The total value of his estate was £62-5s-5d, of which £10 were for books.

The Hull Genealogy says she married James Warren of the Parish of Unity, now South Ber- wick, Me .; if so, she was second wife, as his first wife's name was Margaret. James Warren's youngest child was named Grizel, b. 6 Aug. 1662; she was the third wife of Richard Otis.

HUNKING, JOHN, 1620-1682. He was born in England about 1620. He was son of Hercules Hunking of Devonshire, according to a deed on record at Con- cord, N. H., Vol. 3, page 178a. It is not known that Hercules came to Portsmouth, neither is it known what year his son John came over, but his arrival was be- fore 1650. He was engaged in the fishing business at the Isles of Shoals, and had his home at Portsmouth where he was a ship-builder. He accumulated much property, owning houses and land in the town. He had a brother, Mark Hunking, who made his Will in 1666 and died in 1667. This Mark had a son Mark who is known as Colonel Hunking; he was Councillor, Judge, Register of Probate, and d. in 1731. His daughter, Sarah, was wife of Lieut. Gov. John Wentworth, and mother of Gov. Benning Wentworth, and grandmother of the last Provincial Governor John Wentworth.
John Hunking made his will 5 August, 1681; proved in 1682, in which year he died. He mentions wife Agnes, and children, and divides among them a large amount of property.

HAZLETT, MATTHEW, was born in Boston 22 March, 1743. He removed to Portsmouth before the beginning of the Revolution. He signed the Associa- tion Test in 1776, at Portsmouth. He was one of the prominent business men of the town, and participated in the management of public affairs. He advertised his business in the New Hampshire Gazette (which was started in 1756) by having inserted in the issue of 17 July 1767 the first illustrated advertisement that ap- peared in that paper ; it was a special newspaper cut, and attracted much attention, bringing much patronage to his place of business. He married, 10 Dec. 1774, Ann Frost of Portsmouth.

HILTON, EDWARD, 1595-1671. He was the "Father of the Settlement of New Hampshire" at what is now known as Dover Point. He probably was a na-
109
tive of London; of good ancestry ; well educated; that he was in business with the leading men of the city is shown by his being admitted to membership, in 1621, in the Aristocratic Fishmongers's Guild, which con- trolled the fishing business, to a large extent, at New- foundland and along the New England coast. His con- nection with that Guild led to his visiting the fishing ter- ritory along the coast, so he was no stranger here when he came over in 1623 in the ship "Providence and Ply- mouth" which was owned by three merchants of Ply- mouth, Abraham Colmer, Nicholas Sherwell and Leonard Pomeroy, and began the settlement at Dover Point. The party landed in the cove that was after- wards called Pomeroy's Cove; the railroad filling has cut it in two. Mr. Pomeroy may have been one of the original party that came over with Mr. Hilton. Mr. Hilton's house stood where the present (1918) Hilton Hall stands. This was his home till about 1640, a little before which date he removed to that part of old Exe- ter now Newfields. There was his home till his death in 1671. For thirty years he was one of the leading citizens of Exeter.
He began the settlement at Dover Point by some sort of arrangement, not now known, with Mr. David Thompson, who had a patent from the Plymouth Com- pany, obtained in 1622, under which he commenced a settlement at what is known as Odiorne's Point, in the spring of 1623, but remained there only two or three years, then going to Thompson's Island in Boston Har- bor. Mr. Hilton in 1629, obtained a new patent, known as the "Squamscot Patent," to confirm and protect his rights against the patents of Capt. John Mason and others. This patent gave him the land at Newfields on which he settled after Capt. Thomas Wiggin's party came over in 1633. He did not make himself conspicu- ous under Capt. Wiggin's rule, but after the towns came under the rule of Massachusetts in 1643, he was appointed one of the Judges of the Court that was
110
established by the Massachusetts authorities for Dover and Portsmouth and Exeter. In 1645, he was elected one of the selectmen of Exeter and served in that office several years. He was Exeter's Deputy in the General Court at Boston several times. He held other offices of trust and was one of the town's most useful citizens. The cemetery in which he was buried is near Rocking- ham Junction, on the east side of the Boston & Maine road, and on the south side of the Concord and Ports- mouth road. His lands remained in possession of the Hilton family several generations.
It seems that he was not married at the time of beginning the settlement of Dover, but was married soon after. The name of his first wife is not known; the date of her death is not known, but it was before 1650. He married (2) before 1650, Mrs. Catharine Treworgye, widow of James Treworgye, and daughter of Alexander Shapleigh, and sister of Nicholas Shap- leigh of Kittery (Eliot). She died in 167- and her will is on record in Vol. I of the Probate records.
Children (by first wife) : (1) Edward, b. 1626; m. Ann Dudley, daughter of Rev. Samuel Dudley and granddaughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley, also of Gov. John Winthrop; she was b. 16 Oct. 1641; d. 16 April 1699; she survived him several years .- (2) William, b. 1628; m. Rebecca Symonds, daughter of John Symonds, one of Capt. John Mason's company of men that he sent over in 1634. They lived in Kittery, at Great Cove, on a lot that Symonds gave his daughter, for a few years after marriage, then removed to Exe- ter. He was a noted sea captain, and was in the ex- pedition that made discoveries or surveys about 1662, along the Carolina and Florida coast, an account of which was published in London in 1664. The historic Hilton Head, South Carolina, received its name from him. He died about 1690 ; his eldest son, Edward, was administrator of his estate .- (3) Samuel, b. 1630; no record of his career .- (4) Sobriety, b. Jan. 1632-3; m.
