EMES
I. EBENEZER EMES
EBENEZER EMES and Elizabeth his w. came to D., July 18, 1779, and settled on lot 9, range 2. Samuel Emes, who lived on this lot before Ebenezer came, may have been the father both of Ebenezer and Alexander Emes. There is a tradition that Samuel Emes used to come to D. on foot and spend a part of the season on his farm, returning in the autumn with a heavy load on his back. It is said that, when he became tired from the weight of his burden, he was wont to take up quite a large stone in both hands and that, carrying this stone awhile, he felt himself rested when he dropped it. The name of Ebenezer Emes appears in the tax-list, for the last time in 1798. This name is often spelled Eames. Ch .: 1. Eunice, b., July 9, 1780; 2. Polly, b., Aug. 1, 1782; 3.

HISTORY OF DUBLIN
Sherborn one summer season. At the age of sixteen, he en- listed again, and joined the army in Rhode Island. He was there employed a portion of the time as a ferryman from Tiver- ton to Greenwich, transporting soldiers, horses, provisions, ammunition, etc. On one occasion, when returning with an empty boat, a sturgeon of large size, being at play, jumped out of the water into the boat, broke down the middle seat, and proved a troublesome passenger. He sold it, on reaching the shore, for a gallon of rum. At another time, he was ordered to take a load of soldiers across the river by night, in company with six other boats. During the passage, a severe tempest arose. It was stormy and dark. They lost their pilot and lights and, in this condition, they were tossed about by the waves, not knowing where they were, or whither they were going. In the course of the night they were drifted on an island and found another boatload in the same condition. Only one boat of the seven found its way, that night, across the river. When morning came, they found they were near the enemy. As boats crossed and recrossed the river, they made signals of distress, but they were not relieved till they had passed two days and two nights without food or the means of making a fire to dry themselves. They were supposed by their officers to be lost. At another time, when sleeping on the ground, a cry was heard, "A cannon-ball is rolling towards us!" He in- stantly sprang up on his hands and knees; the ball struck his cartridge-box, on which his head, a few seconds before, was resting, and dashed it to pieces; it then struck a stone wall, opened a gap and, rolling a few rods farther, stopped. In the year 1780, he enlisted again for six months and served a por- tion of the time at West Point. He was there when Arnold attempted to give it into the hands of the British. Ch .:

Elijah Dunbar, in his "Description of Peterborough," published in the N. H. Historical Collections, August, 1822, says: "Lieut. William Robbe, seventh son of William and Agnes (Patterson) Robbe, 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 marvellous 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 fre- quent, 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 extraordi- nary cures which have been ascribed to his instrumentality." Mrs. Farnsworth was born, March 1, 1772, d., Oct. 27, 1812.
