Rev. ASAEL WOODS was a native of Fitzwilliam, a son of Jonas Woods, and a brother of Rev. John Woods, a sketch of whom has already been given.
Where he was educated or when he entered the ministry is unknown. Mr. Woods belonged to the Baptist denomination and preached for a time in Sutton, N. H., and probably else- where before he settled in Putney, Vt. He died at Putney, November 17th, 1524, aged forty-five years. Mrs. Woods was Miss Jerusha Stone, of Fitzwilliam.

was called to the pastorate of the church of Marlborough and Newfane, Vt., where he remained seven years. After preach- ing two years in Heath and one year in Conway, Mass., he was recalled to the church in Marlborough and Newfane, where he remained for seven years, and then was pastor at Hinsdale, N. H., two years. At Troy, N. H., in 1846, his health failed and he ceased to preach regularly. Returning to the place of his birth for one year and then living for a time on a farm in Winchester, N. H., he passed the closing years of his life with his friends in Vermont, dying, January 16th, 1869, at the age of seventy-seven years.

He is now preaching in Penacook, N. H.
LYSANDER T. BURBANK was born November 24th, 1828, and is the son of John and Hannah (Lyon) Burbank, who lived at the Burbank place in Fitzwilliam. He prepared for college at the Kimball Union Academy in 1852-53. Graduated at Will- iams College in 1857 and at Union Theological Seminary, New York City, in 1860. Having been licensed to preach by the Fourth Presbytery, New York, he was ordained as an evan- gelist at Fitzwilliam, June 15th, 1860. Sailed as a missionary of the American Board, for Bitlis, Asia Minor, July 3d, 1860, where he remained in that capacity for ten years.

from the latter in 1861. Mr. Harris was ordained pastor at Windham, Vt., October 24th, 1861, and dismissed March 4th, 1869. He then preached for nearly two years at West Suffield, Conn .. and for about the same time in Indian Orchard, Mass. Called to Phillipston, Mass., he was installed there, November 20th, 1873, but about seven months later was killed while crossing the railroad track in Athol, Mass.
Rev. WILLIAM EDWIN LOCKE, formerly of Fitzwilliam, is a son of William Dana Locke, who died recently in New Ips- wich, N. H. He graduated at Amherst College in 1864, and from Union Theological Seminary, New York, in 1867. March 19th, 1868, he was married to Zoe A. M. Noyes, of West- moreland, N. H., and having been appointed a missionary of the American Board, sailed from New York for Turkey, April 25th, 1868. He reached his station, Philippopolis, in Turkey in Europe, June 11th of the same year, but removed a little later to Samokov, which has since been his home. In 1879 he visited the United States with his family.
Rev. ISAAC NEWTON LOCKE, brother of William E., was born in Fitzwilliam. He began a course of study with the ministry in view, but was forced to abandon it because of a disease of the eyes. For three years he was a teacher in an educational in- stitution at Lookont Mountain, Tenn., and October 21st, 1872, he married the preceptress of that institution, Miss Mary A. Wilson, of Salisbury, N. H. Mr. Locke was licensed to preach in October, 1877, and two years later ordained. As a devoted home missionary, he preached in Peru, Gould, West- ern Park, Howard and other places in Kansas. He died, Feb- ruary 2d, 1882, of small-pox, that was raging in the vicinity of his home, but from which he supposed himself protected by vaccination.
Among the physicians who were born in Fitzwilliam a prominent place should be assigned to DR. ALVAH GODDING.
The Godding family, consisting of a widow and eight chil- dren, four sons and four daughters, came to this place from Attleborough, Mass., not far from 1780. Among these children was Timothy, who in 1790 married Ruth Robbins, of Warwick, Mass., and was a farmer in the part of Fitzwilliam

which is now Troy. The third child of this family was Alvah, who was born November 5th, 1796. Ile settled in Winchendon, Mass., as a physician, and there secured, and re- tained till his death, an enviable reputation, not only in his professional life, but in all the relations he sustained to the community. Through his skill, kindness, and devotion to his patients he earned the title of " the beloved physician."
Dr. Godding gave his life to save that of an Irishwoman, whose case had been pronounced hopeless, and to whom he was called at midnight in the dead of winter, when the cold was excessive. Going on foot, and repeating his visit a few hours later, he came home in such an exhausted state that death soon ensued. His age was seventy-eight, and he died January 11th, 1874.
EBENEZER CLARK GROSVENOR, a native of Fitzwilliam, was a son of Dr. Peter Clark Grosvenor. He was the only physician among the early college graduates of Fitzwilliam. With great industry and the aid of his pastor he prepared for college and graduated at the University of Vermont in 1813, and later from the medical school in Boston. Rev. Mr. Sabin loaning him money for his expenses, he established himself in his pro- fession in Darien, Ga., of which city he was at one time the Mayor. After visiting Europe for study he continued his prac- tice successfully in Darien, but while still young was drowned in the Altamaha River while engaged in professional duty.
Dr. LESLIE ALMON PHILLIPS, son of Almon and Keziah (Al- len) Phillips, was born in Fitzwilliam, August 19th, 1847. He was educated in the public schools and such private schools as his native town afforded till he was seventeen years of age, when, while working during the day and studying in the night, he commenced reciting to his pastor. Later he was a student in a boys' English and classical school and a teacher in the same. In 1874 he began the study of medicine with Dr. Moore, of Quincy, Ill., and in 1877 graduated from the Bos- ton University School of Medicine. Dr. Phillips began prac- tice in Boston as assistant of Dr. J. H. Woodbury, then passed nearly a year in Watertown, Mass., but at the expiration of this period returned to Boston at Dr. Woodbury's request, to whose practice he succeeded in 1879.

Mrs. SARAH D. (LOCKE) STOW, a native of Fitzwilliam, is a daughter of Mr. William Dana Locke, formerly of this place. In her youth her home for a number of years was in the fam- ily of Rev. John P. Humphrey, then pastor in Winchester, N. H., but lately holding the same office in Winehendon, Mass.
Mrs. Stow is a graduate of Mount Holyoke Female Sem- inary at South Hadley, Mass., and for a number of years be- fore her marriage was a teacher in that institution. Rev. John M. Stow, her husband, was a pastor in Sullivan, N. II., but abont 1870 removed to his native town, Hubbardston, Mass., and was pastor there at the time of his death, which occurred in 1877. Mr. Stow had been for some years engaged in pre- paring a history of his native town, and this, left by him in an unfinished state, Mrs. Stow completed and carried through the press.
She now resides in Hubbardston, but for a number of years has been engaged in official duties for a large part of the time at Mount Holyoke Seminary.

EXPLANATIONS.
IN the arrangement of the following genealogies the plan used in the Histories of Rindge, Marlboro, and Ashburnham has been generally followed, and is so plain that no particular explanation is needed. The following variations may, however, be noted : The account of a family stock previous to settlement in Fitzwilliam is given by generations, each generation being numbered with a heavy-faced figure in the margin, this num- bering running into the consecutive numbering of individuals as the more detailed records are introduced. Whenever the information is at hand, a brief sketch of the line back to the emigrant ancestor has been given. In these cases the usual method of notation by raised figures (John'. John2, John3, etc. ). has been introduced sufficiently to distinguish the successive generations.
The Lists of Town Officers in the first part of this work are so full and complete, and the Records of the Soldiers in the Revolutionary War and the War of the Rebellion are so broad in their scope, and so particular in their details, that it is not considered necessary to refer to these services in the family records.
In referring to towns in the immediate vicinity the name of
452
HISTORY OF FITZWILLIAM.
the State has been purposely omitted, unless required to distin- guish from a town elsewhere of same name. When the name of a town has once been given in full, further reference to it in the same connection may be made by using only the initial letter.
The earliest town tax-list that has been preserved is that for 1793. When this date is referred to thus, 1793*, the infor- mation given is based on this tax-list. The Proprietors' Tax- list for 1788, and partial lists of the penny or road taxes for 1789, 1790, and 1791 are also preserved, but none of these dis- tinguish between resident and non-resident owners. In the town valuation and tax-lists all persons paying poll-taxes of course are residents.
