REGISTER OF FAMILIES.
-
INTRODUCTION.
OWING to the large number of families whose Registers have been collected, we have been obliged to make use of many abbreviations, and to abridge some portions of the matter that we should have been glad to insert in full. Many facts and dates, however, which were not furnished, have been added by the Committee of Publication. Although much time has been devoted to the preparation of these Registers, we are fully aware that many imperfections and some errors will be discovered. We have done the best we could with the materials furnished, and the sources of information open to us. Those who have been engaged in compiling Family Registers will readily understand the causes of the imperfections and errors, and will, we doubt not, be lenient in their judgments with regard to what we have done.
In our arrangement, we have followed, with some slight variations, the plan adopted by the Rev. John Langdon Sibley, in his " History of Union, Me." The first settlers of families in this town, or the first heads or male members of families, are indicated by small capitals ; their children, by Roman numerals; the grand- children, by Arabic figures, with the names in small capitals; the great-grandchil- dren, by Arabic figures in parenthesis; the great-great-grandchildren, by Arabic figures, with the names in Italics; the sixth generation, by Arabic figures in brackets. We give an example from the family of Benjamin Mason: -
BENJAMIN MASON, first settler of this family of Mason.
I. Thaddeus, son of BENJAMIN MASON.
3. THADDEUS, jun., grandson of do.
(1) Calvin, great-grandson of do.
2. Charles K., great-great-grandson of do.
[1]. Ellen Gertrude, sixth generation.
ABBREVIATIONS. - @. for age or aged; b. for born ; c. for childless; ch. for child or children; n. u. for names unknown; dr. for daughter; h. for husband; m. for married; r. for resides or resided; re. for removed; um. for unmarried; w. for wife; q. v. for see register of his or her family; J. P. for Justice of the Peace; Rep. for Representative to the General Court.
As the offices and titles are given in the previous history, they will, with few exceptions, be omitted in the Register. Where no place of residence is mentioned, Dublin, in most cases, is to be understood.
When the children of the head of a family have descendants, they will be printed in separate paragraphs; but, when the record of two or more in succession is merely of birth or birth and death, it will not be necessary thus to distinguish them. See the last five children of Moses Adams, sen.

JOSIAH ALLEN. - The following is an extract from a letter to the Chairman of the Publishing Committee, by his son, Amos Allen, Esq., of Newton, Mass. :-
" My father, the late Lieut. Josiah Allen, was born in 1755, in Weston, Mass. His ancestors were originally from Wales, Eng .; came to this country at a very early period of our national history, and settled upon the farm where my father was born, and which remained in possession of the Allen family nearly or quite two hundred years.
" My father served as a soldier in our Revolutionary war four years. His first enlistment was in what was called the year service; the second, in the three years' service. Soon after leaving the army, he, with a Mr. Asa Pierce, also of Weston, purchased the second lot in the third range in Dublin ; which they divided equally between them. The northerly half was taken by my father ; the southerly half, by Mr. Pierce. My father and Mr. Pierce had married sisters ; and after clearing off a few acres, and preparing small but comfortable dwellings, they, with their families, in 1786 or 7, moved to Dublin. Mr. Pierce died a few years after, leaving two children. His widow married Thomas Davison, and removed to Jaffrey.
" My mother's maiden name was Sarah Pike. She was born in Cross Street, Boston. When the British troops occupied the town, her father and his family moved to Charlestown; and, when that town was burnt, they went to Weston, where her father and mother died at an advanced age. My mother died Feb. 3, 1791, at the age of 35; leaving, as survivors, myself and my brother Charles, now of Northport, Me. My father married a second wife, of the family of Lieut. William Robbe, of Peterborough. She died a few years before my father. They had eight children ; six of whom sur- vived her, and are now alive, but have all deserted their native town.
" My father remained in possession of his farm till about 1812. He then sold it to Mr. N. Upton, and moved to Peterborough ; where he died, about

twenty years since, very poor, and solely dependent upon the pension granted by the government for his four years' service in the Revolution. In the early years of his residence in Dublin, matters went well with him, and he was respected. He was chosen Lieutenant in the company commanded by Capt. James Adams, the trader. But in the latter years of my father's residence in Dublin, affairs went badly with him. He was obliged to sell his farm ; and he left the town nearly destitute ; but he retained his principles of integrity, and his kind feelings as a neighbor and a friend."

A few weeks previous to his death, he was heard to say that, before he began the business of a merchant, he worked chop- ping down trees on one of the lots of land which his father had purchased in Dublin, and that he then thought of settling upon it. But as it was in the month of June, and the weather very hot, he was not satisfied with that kind of labor, and concluded to procure a living in some other way. Accordingly, he left the woods, and engaged in trade. The result is well known. The town of Dublin will have reason to remember him with gratitude. Besides the thousand dollars which he gave for educational purposes, he added two hundred dollars more to aid in the publication of the Centennial Address, and the accompanying history of the town. For a brief sketch of his life, see the New England Historical and Genea- logical Register, vol. viii., No. 1. Isaac settled in Dublin, 1785 ; m., Dec. 9, 1788, Sarah Twitchell, b.
