No. 36. OLIVER FARWELL, JR., son of Oliver (No. 34), like his father, was a grantee of the towns of Acworth and Claremont. Part of this was sold, July 11, 1771, by Gideon Lewis, joiner, to Barnabas Ellis, the price being thirteen pounds six shillings; the remainder was sold to Grannis in 1787. Born June 21 (or 28), 1741; lived at South Merrimack, N. H. ; died 1822.


No. 37. EPHRAIM ADAMS was born and lived in Ipswich, Mass., until 1748. He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars, and after his return married, and removed to New Ipswich, N. H., with his brother Benjamin. He was an enterprising and useful citizen, assisted at the organiza- tion of the church, and was elected its first deacon, a posi- tion he occupied until his death. During the Revolutionary war he assisted greatly in procuring soldiers and arms. He represented the town in the legislature, and filled many town offices; was a proprietor in the grant of Richmond, New Ipswich and Temple, one of the intorporators and a trustee of the New Ipswich Academy at its incorporation in 1789, it being the second of its kind in the state.


No. 38. PHINEAS WAIT, Groton, Mass. There are two of this name from this place, father and son. The elder mar- ried, March 14, 1731-2, Mary Hubbard, and died May 30, 1777, aged sixty-nine. Phineas, second, married Sarah Pierce of Pepperell, January 28, 1762, and died November 29, 1802, aged sixty-seven years. It is of course not sure which of these was the grantee.


No. 39. OLIVER ASHLEY was a son of Col. Samuel Ashley (No. 2), and early became a settler of the town. He was also a grantee of the town of Grantham, and his right in that town was sold to John Dorchester, for twelve pounds, on July 9, 1771. He resided in Claremont from about 1772 until his death, which occurred April 9, 1818, aged seventy-four. A more extended sketch of this man was also given in connection with that of his father, Col. Samuel Ashley, in the May number of the GRANITE MONTHLY for 1892.

No. 40. ABIJAH WILLARD, of Winchester. Part of this right was sold to Amaziah Knights of Claremont, on July 14, 1772, for eighteen pounds. Knights was from North- field, Mass., and became one of the early settlers.


No. 41. REV. MICAH LAWRENCE was the Congrega- tionalist clergyman at Winchester, having been ordained November 14, 1764, and continued there until 1777, when he was discharged, the principal cause being his " Unfriend- liness to the American cause," for which offence he was confined by the Committee of Safety to a limited territory. He was born in Farmington, Conn., March 15, 1738-9; graduated at Harvard 1759; married, in 1765, Eunice, daughter of Col. Josiah Willard ; died in Keene, October 20, 1798, aged sixty. He sold his right in Claremont to Samuel Ashley, March 16, 1767, for forty shillings.


No. 42. ABEL LAWRENCE was from Groton, Mass., and a cousin of Micah. He was born February 25, 1729-30 ; died, insolvent, September 20, 1770, aged 41 years. His right was sold to William Lawrence (probably a brother), who died in 1780; by him it was sold to Josiah Willard, and by him to Benjamin Sumner, on July 14, 1772, for thirty-six pounds. The following epitaph is taken from his gravestone, for which we are indebted to the records, as published by Dr. Samuel Abbott Green.

No. 43. REV. LEMUEL HEDGE, Warwick, Mass., was the first settled minister of that town, being ordained there in 1760. His rights in Claremont were purchased, March 4, 1766, by Col. Samuel Ashley, for two shillings.


No. 44. REV. CLEMENT SUMNER, Keene, was born in Hebron, Conn., July 15, 1731, being the fifth child of Dr. William and Hannah (Hunt) Sumner. (His father removed, in 1767, to Claremont, and died there March 4, 1778 ; his wife died April 2, 1781. The family consisted of eleven children, of whom the ninth was Col. Benjamin Sumner, born Feb. 5, 1737; removed to Claremont in 1767, and died May 9, 1815. The tenth was Elizabeth, born May 22, 1749; married Joseph Taylor, of Cornish. The eleventh, Sarah, born May 22, 1749, married Timothy Grannis, one of the early settlers of the town.) Clement Sumner graduated at Yale in 1758, and on March 16, 1761, was given a call, at a salary of thirty-five pounds sterling and his firewood, with an annual increase of one pound ten shillings, until fifteen pounds were added, to preach for the Congregational church of Keene. He was ordained July 11, 1761, and continued to serve them until 1772, when the people became dissatisfied, and he was dismissed by a vote of the town and his own consent. He never became a settled minister afterwards, but preached in Thetford, Vt., and other places, from 1773 to 1777. He afterwards removed to Swanzey, and became a Universal- ist preacher. He was a grantee of several townships, among them Shrewsbury, Vt., in which place his right was sold at public vendue for two pounds eleven shillings. Like several others of his family he was not in sympathy with the American cause during the Revolution, and, in 1777, was, with others, fined forty shillings for misdemean- ors towards the state, " that is, utterances disparaging to the American cause" [page 593, Vol. VIII, State Papers, and page 314, Vol. XII]. He was father of twelve children, six of whom were born in Keene, one in Thet- ford, and four in Swanzey. He died, in Keene, March 29,


16


1795. The right was sold to Col. Willard, and later to Mr. Grannis.


No. 45. ABEL WILLARD, of Winchester, a brother of Col. Josiah, to whom he sold the right. He was born Jan- uary 12, 1731-2, and died in London, Eng., November 19, 1789. His wife died in Boston.


No. 46. MICHAEL METCALF, of Keene, was a lieutenant in Col. Ashley's regiment, and as such was present at the battle of Bennington, where he was killed. He was a grantee of the town of Reading, Vt., as well. The right in Claremont was sold to Col. Willard, and by his estate to Mr. Grannis.


No. 47. EPHRAIM DORMAN, of Keene, one of the first settlers of that place, his name being mentioned as early as 1738. In 1740 he, with thirty-eight others, drew lots of ten acres each, provided that they built houses thereon before 1742 [page 19, Annals of Keene]. In 1753 he was one of the proprietors of the town under the New Hampshire charter, and at the first meeting, held in May of that year, Dorman was voted eight dollars for going to Portsmouth and securing the charter. Died in Keene, May 7, 1795, aged 85 years.


No. 48. JOSEPH LORD, of Putney, Vt., and Westmore- land, N. H., was a direct descendant from Robert of Ipswich. Joseph was born about 1704, and grad- uated from Harvard in 1726. He was one of the first five settlers of Athol, Mass., in September, 1735, and was for many years the leading man of the place, being the first preacher, magistrate, clerk, treasurer, surveyor, and tax collector. In 1755 Col. Hinsdale paid him three pounds six shillings ten pence for preaching four Sabbaths at Hins- dale. In 1759 he removed to Putney, Vt., and later to Westmoreland, N. H. Died Dec. 7, 1778. His right was sold to Samuel Ashley, July 16, 1765, for two shillings.


No. 49. WILLIAM WILLARD, Westminster, Vt. This right was sold to Samuel Ashley, for two shillings, on July 17, 1765. Willard died in 1804, aged 83.

No. 50. JEREMIAH POWERS, Grafton, Mass., was also a grantee of Rindge. He sold his right to Amos York, in 1767, who became one of the first settlers, and he in turn sold one half to Benjamin Brooks, Dec. 15, 1767.


No. 51. JOHN ARMES, of Deerfield, Mass., and Brattle- boro, Vt., was born April 30, 1722. He settled in the latter place on the " Fairbanks Moore Farm," where for many years he kept a famous tavern, and which was the resort of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. He was killed by a kick from a horse, March 6, 1770. He was also a grantee of Swanzey, in 1753. Married, in Decem- ber, 1743, Susannah, daughter of Col. Josiah Willard, who died March 8, 1793, aged 73.


No. 52. DAVID FIELD was born Jan. 4, 1712. He lived in Deerfield, Mass., where he was engaged in the fur trade. He was colonel of the northern Hampshire county regiment, but resigned, in 1778, on account of his age. In May, 1778, he was a delegate to the Provincial Congress at Cambridge, and in 1779-80 a member of the constitutional convention. The latter part of his life was one of poverty, and most of his possessions passed into other hands. He married, in 1741, Thankful, daughter of Thomas Taylor, and proba- bly widow of Oliver Doolittle. There are two traditions regarding this marriage : one, that she married Field ; the other, that she married Doolittle, and soon became a widow. David Field died April 19, 1792. His wife died March 26, 1803. The share in Claremont was sold, July 19, 1765, to Samuel Ashley, for two shillings.


No. 53. HENRY BOND, probably from Winchester, N. H., and later of Maine.


No. 54. COL. JOHN HAWKS, of Deerfield, Mass., " the hero of Fort Massachusetts," was born Dec. 5, 1707. In early life he entered the military service, and in 1746 was in command of Fort Massachusetts, when, with a garrison of twenty-two men, it was assaulted by a force of French and Indians numbering seven hundred. After a defence of twenty-four hours he was forced to surrender from lack of ammunition. He served through the French wars as


18


sergeant and lieutenant, had charge of the forts at Cole- raine in 1754-7 ; commanded a company at the attack on Ticonderoga in 1758, under Abercrombie ; was under Am- herst, as major, and in 1760 was ranked as lieutenant- colonel. He was selectman of Deerfield for nine years, and filled many offices of trust. Married, Dec. 10, 1730, Elizabeth, daughter of John Nims, who died Feb. 27, 1779, aged 67 years. He died June 26, 1784. Samuel Ashley purchased the right, on July 19, 1765, for two shillings.


No. 55. SAMUEL FIELD, son of David (No. 52), was born in Deerfield, Mass., Sept. 14, 1743; graduated at Yale in 1762 ; studied divinity with Rev. Jonathan Ashley ; afterwards read law with Daniel Taylor of Hinsdale ; was admitted to the Hampshire county bar, and practiced through life, and also engaged in trade. He was for sev- eral years town clerk, and was representative to the general court of Massachusetts in 1791 ; was also a writer ot con- siderable ability, and after his death, at Conway, Mass., Sept. 17, 1800, a volume of his works in prose and verse was published, under the title of " Field's Works."


No. 56. SIMEON CHAMBERLAIN we are unable to locate to a certainty. A person by this name was one of the first settlers of the town of Swanzey, in 1746, and may possibly be the one mentioned in the rights of Claremont.


No. 57. ELIJAH ALEXANDER, Winchester, was a son of Elias, a blacksmith, who removed to that town about 1736. Elijah was born Feb. 10, 1733; was in the Nova Scotia expedition, 1755, as lieutenant. He married, Nov. 1, 1767, Susannah Trowbridge of Winchester, who died Nov. 17, 1797. He died Sept. 9, 1774. He was also a grantee of Richmond. The right in Claremont was among those transferred to Grannis by the estate of Col. Willard.


No. 58. EBENEZER DODGE, Winchester(?). The rea- sons for this conclusion are that he purchased, in 1794, pew No. 21 in the meeting-house at that place. Part of this right was sold to Benjamin Tyler by Benjamin Sumner, on Dec. 4, 1769, indicating that Sumner had bought the right of Dodge previous to this date.

No. 59. SAMUEL WELLS, Brattleboro, Vt., was born in Deerfield, Mass., Sept. 9, 1730 ; he removed to Brattleboro about 1762. He was a prominent man in the Vermont controversy on the side of New York; was judge of infe- rior courts, 1768-72, representative to the colonial assem- bly of New York, 1773-5, but during the Revolution was a Tory. After the war he removed with his family of eleven children to Canada, where they each had a grant of 1,200 acres of land. Samuel Wells died in Brattleboro, Aug. 6, 1786. [See page 64, Vol. V, Vt. Gazetteer. ]


No. 60. HON. JONATHAN HUNT, Vernon, Vt., was born in Northfield, Mass., Sept. 12, 1738 [History of North- field, Mass. ], and died June 1. 1823 [Bridgman's Epi- taphs]. He was also a proprietor of Richmond and Ches- terfield, and Guildhall, Vt. ; was a prominent landowner as well as citizen, being at one time lieutenant-governor of Vermont. This right was sold to Samuel Ashley, on July 19, 1765, for two shillings.


No. 61. WILLIAM SMEED, originally from Deerfield. Mass., where he was born October 22, 1706. Early in 1736 he became a settler of Keene, having, in 1734, by the payment of five pounds, become a proprietor of that town. In the fall of 1736, with Seth Heaton and Nathan Blake. he made preparations to spend the winter in that place, but provisions giving out, Heaton was dispatched to procure a supply at Northfield, Mass. Not returning soon, Smeed and Blake returned to Northfield or Wrentham, and did not return to Keene until the next spring. [Annals of Keene.]


No. 62. COL. JOHN GOFF was born in Boston in 1701. and was a son of John Goff of Londonderry, being, with his father, a grantee of that town. He was a noted Indian fighter, and was with Lovewell in the celebrated fight at Pequawket. In 1734 he moved to Cohos Brook, near what is now known as Goff's Falls, and within the limits of the present city of Manchester, at which place he built a mill. In 1738 he removed to the adjoining town of Bedford, and still later, in 1748, back to his place on Cohos Brook. He was a major in the regiment which went to Crown Point in 1756, was lieutenant-colonel in 1757-8-9, and colonel


20


.


in 1760. Subsequently he was colonel of the Ninth N. H. regiment, and judge of probate for Hillsborough county, 1771-6. He was a large landowner, being also a grantee of Goffstown,-which bears his name,-Jefferson, and New Boston. He died in Derryfield, now Manchester, October 20, 1788, aged 87 years.


No. 63. DANIEL JONES, EsQ., was of Hinsdale. In 1766 he was one of a number who petitioned for the remission of taxes from New Hampshire, the reason being that the disputed line of the town caused them to be taxed in both New York and New Hampshire. The subject was brought about by means of a resolution, passed in town meeting October 30, 1765, at which Daniel Jones and two others were appointed a committee to petition the general court of New Hampshire for an abatement for that year. The record was made by the town clerk, Daniel Jones. [Pages 386, 387, Vol. IX, State Papers.]


No. 64. HON. JOHN TEMPLE, of Portsmouth, was lieu- tenant-governor and surveyor-general of customs for the northern part of America. He was a grantee of Piermont and Temple, which bears his name.


No. 65. HON. THEODORE ATKINSON was born in New- castle, N. H., in 1697 ; graduated at Harvard, 1718, and in 1734 was admitted as a member of the governor's council ; he was collector, naval officer, and sheriff of the province. In 1746 he bought from John Tufton Mason one fifth of the whole state; that is, such parts of it as had not been granted or settled. He died in 1779, aged 82. The town of Atkinson was named for him, he being at one time the owner of the whole township. His wife was Hannah Wentworth, a sister of Gov. Benning Wentworth.


No. 66. MARK HUNKING WENTWORTH, Portsmouth, was father of Gov. John Wentworth (mentioned in the sketch of No. 67), and brother of Benning Wentworth, who was governor at the time the charter was granted. He was also owner of two fifths of the Masonian rights. His right in Claremont was sold, May 31, 1774, to Josiah Willard, for sixty pounds ; but, as he had previously, on


-


21


the IIth of May, for the same consideration, bought a part of the rights of John Grimes and Oliver Farwell, it is probable that the transfers were merely a transfer of terri- tory. Mark H. Wentworth died, in Portsmouth, in 1785.


No. 67. THEODORE ATKINSON, JR., the only son of Theodore and Hannah (Wentworth) Atkinson, was born in 1736, graduating from Harvard in 1757. He was a mem- ber of the council of which his father was president, and for many years was the secretary of the province. May 13, 1762, he married Frances Deering Wentworth, from whom was named the towns of Francestown and Deering. A very pretty love affair might at this time be introduced,- of a former acquaintance with John Wentworth ; of his departure to England, and return two years previous to the death of Atkinson, which occurred Oct. 28, 1769; how, ten days after, the widow laid aside the garments of mourning for those of the wedding with her first love, Governor John Wentworth.


No. 68. COL. WILLIAM SYMES, Swanzey, was one of the first settlers of that town, but appears to have lived in various places. He had lands granted to him in North- field, Mass., in 1721, on condition that he settle there ; was in Deerfield, October, 1725 ; at Northfield again in 1731 ; at Winchester, 1743 to 1753, and in November of that year was prominently engaged in the project of raising five hun- dred men to form a military colony on the Connecticut river at Cowas. The St. Francis Indians claiming the territory, the project was abandoned. In 1755 Col. Symes was in command of the fort at Keene. He was, in 1764, esquire of Hinsdale; in 1768, colonel at Northfield. He was also a grantee of Haverhill. He married, in 1728-9, Thankful (Hawks), widow of Daniel Ashley, and mother of Col. Samuel Ashley.


No. 69. CAPT. SIMON DAVIS, of Greenwich, Mass., was one of the first settlers of Chesterfield, N. H., in 1762, and also a grantee of Swanzey. He was selectman of Ches- terfield in 1767, and died probably in 1784-5. [History of Chesterfield. ] His right in Claremont was sold to Barna- bas Ellis of Hebron, Conn., on May 7, 1767, for thirty- two pounds.


22


Nos. 71 and 72. Gov. BENNING WENTWORTH, of Ports- mouth, was born in 1695, and was the eldest son of Lieut .- Gov. John Wentworth. Graduating from Harvard in 1715, he was appointed councillor in 1734, and in 1741, by the removal of Gov. Belcher, was appointed governor. He resigned in 1766, and died Oct. 14, 1770. Much more might be said of this man, but it would be superfluous in this connection. The tract, which was known as the gov- ernor's farm, was sold by him to Capt. George Hubbard, and was for many years the subject of much controversy between the heirs of Col. Joseph Waite and Mr. Hubbard. The latter finally won the suit, and it has been since 1798 in possession of Mr. Hubbard's descendants, being now owned by Isaac Long, Esq., a great-grandson of Mr. Hubbard.


The remaining four shares were, upon the drawings of lots, faithfully cared for, and each received its proportion. The minister's share was in the first instance given to Rev. George Wheaton, who became, in 1771, the first settled minister of the town. He died soon after his ordination, and the tract was given back to the town by Mr. Wheaton's father, and later granted to Rev. Augustine Hibbard, who became the next minister, and a son-in-law of Col. Samuel Ashley. In 1799 the undivided lands were surveyed, and such proportion as belonged to the public rights were sur- veyed into lots of twenty acres, " according to an estima- tion ; quantity for quality," and these, with the lots pre- viously drawn, were accepted as follows :


Ambrose Cossitt, for the Society of Propagation, as trustee.


Sanford Kingsbury and Timothy Grannis, as wardens of Union Church, for the Glebe lands.


Sanford Kingsbury and Gideon Handerson, as select- men of the town accepting for the school lands. These have been sold at various times as occasion came, and part of them used for town purposes. The town hall stands on part of school lot No. 29, and the old burying-ground in the village occupies a part of the same tract. The lands of the Society of Propagation were, in 1808, transferred to the general trustees of the Society in America. The pro- prietorship of the town remained vested in a legitimate


23


body of owners, of whom the Sumners, Strowbridges, Grannis, and others, were stockholders. Occasional meet- ings were held for the sale of lots, the surveying of unsold lands and other business, until 1858 (Oct. 28), at which meeting Solon C. Grannis was chosen clerk, and David H. Sumner, moderator. At this meeting it was voted, " that, as said Sumner was a large proprietor of the lands unsold, that none be sold except by his written consent." This David H. Sumner was a nephew of Rev. Clement Sum- ner, one of the original grantees. So ends the history of the proprietorship. But two of the grantees became set- tlers, although indirectly the Sumners became proprietors soon after they moved to town. The early settlers, in sev- eral instances, bought rights and sold to other settlers, among them being Mr. Grannis, Joseph and Christopher York, Amos Conant, Barnabas Ellis, Joseph Alden, and several others.
