* Rev. E. Dunbar, in his " Description of Peterborough," published in the N. H. Historical Collections, Aug., 1822, says: " Lieut. Wm. Robbe, seventh son of Wm. R. and Agnes Patterson, was fully believed by his mother to be endued with the power of curing the king's-evil (scrofula). In her youth, she had supposed herself cured of this disease by a man, reputed to be the seventh son, who traversed Ireland, it was said, at his majesty's expense, and performed, it was believed, the most marvel- lous cures, by gently rubbing the diseased person in the throat with his naked hand, and, instead of taking a reward, bestowing a piece of silver. Mrs. Robbe charged her son to attend gratuitously to all who should apply for relief, and to give each a piece of silver; and he never refused his assistance to any who applied. Applications were numerous, and frequent; and, after he was unable to lift his hands, they were guided by others to impart the healing influence. It would require a volume," according to Mr. Dunbar, "to record the extraordinary cures which have been ascribed to his instrumentality."

RICHARD GILCHREST, b. Feb. 22, 1753, in Lunenburg, Mass. His father, William G., was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 1711; went to Ireland, lived in the family of Robert Smith, and with him emigrated to the United States in 1736. The w. of William G. was Elizabeth White, b. in the County of Londonderry, Ireland, and came to this country when she was four years old. They had seven sons and four daughters. Richard was the third son ; and, from 14 till 18 years of age, lived with William Smith. He then lived two years with a Mr. Bellows, whose house, during that time, was broken open, and robbed of some property. The robber, whose name was Linsey or Lindsey, concealed himself in the chamber of a house in Fitchburg; and, being armed with a loaded musket, threatened death to any one who should approach him. Gilchrest ascended a ladder, entered the chamber, disarmed and secured the robber, who was hung. Gilchrest worked a short time in Littleton, driving a team, for which he was celebrated. He then went to Swanzey, N. H., and lived with an uncle. On the 20th of April, 1775, he was at work with several others, preparing timber for a barn. Early in the day, the party heard that the British troops had left Boston, and had killed a large number of the Provincials. The question was asked, " Will you go?" and every one answered, "Yes." Thirteen persons were soon collected, and went to Cambridge. Gilchrest was in the battle of Bunker Hill, as described on page 151. He was afterwards out in an

In the winter of 1875-6, he returned to Dublin, and was m. to Mary Swan, dr. of John S. She was b. Aug. 14, 1758, and d. Jan. 16, 1816. He purchased lot 5, range 3, erected buildings on the same, and there spent the remainder of his life. He served as constable and collector of taxes for many years ; was distinguished as a successful catcher of rogues, and for making them confess their crimes. When his neighbors were in trouble, he was ever at hand to afford aid. He was never weary of watch- ing at the couch of the sick. Though he was rough in manner and speech, yet he was kind at heart.
