1819. Mr. Knight remained on his father's farm until he was 18 years of age, assisting his parents and attending the district school in the winter, with the addition of two terms at academies - one in H. and one in Stoddard. About this time he left home and worked through the winter with a clock-maker, and also the succeeding winter. The next winter he taught two district schools - one in H., in the district adjoining his own, and one in Alstead. The sum- mers intervening during these three years he spent at home on the farm. On attaining his majority he began his life-work as a clock- maker, working one season in Goffstown, two years in Nashua, and one winter in Charlestown, Mass., and Boston, Mass., and then again in Nashua. In July, 1837, he went into business as a jeweler in what was then the little village of Amoskeag. They were at that time just building the guard-locks, preparing to build up the city of Manchester. After remaining in Amoskeag two years, he rem. to Manchester, which was then growing fast, and he was able to do a good business. In the autumn of 1841 he took a trip to " the West," but soon returned, and established himself in New Market, where he remained twelve years, and then rem. to Concord, where he res. until the close of his life. While res. in New Market he was com- missioned a justice of the peace by Governor Martin, and was solic- ited to act as trial justice, but declined. This office he held ten years while a res. of New Market, and also held the same office in Concord. He was honored by his townsmen by being chosen a member of the convention which met in Concord, in 1850, to revise the constitution of the state. He also held a commission as major in the state militia.
" His life ran along in an easy, quiet way, free from broils and entanglements, and with but very little fret and worry. He has done good by being in the world, and never knowingly harmed a single individual. He was always a staunch, true Democrat, and ever took a deep interest in political affairs, being anxious that what he deemed the right principles should prevail. He was many times the candidate of his party for various offices, but his party being in the minority, he of course failed of an election. He was a close observer of public men and public events, keeping well informed upon all that was transpiring in the world by reading and observa- tion. He formed his own opinions for himself, and was always ready to maintain them by candid argument. He was brought up under the Orthodox-Presbyterian faitb, and always attended

divine worship with that church. He embraced Odd Fellowship in 1844, and became quite prominent in the order, holding all the various offices in the subordinate lodge and encampment. He was also a Royal Arch Mason. He was a good citizen, social and genial, and possessed sound qualities of mind and heart. He was a man of strong convictions of right and wrong, a great lover of Nature and her marvelous works, very sympathetic and social in his nature, careful and considerate with his associates, a friend to every just enterprise, and an honored and esteemed citizen of the city where, for over thirty years, he did a prosperous business and enjoyed his quiet, happy home in peace and content. He was truly one of Nature's noblemen, and this modest sketch pays but a faint tribute to the real worth of the man as a kind neighbor of warm sympa- thies and a valued citizen of sound, ripened judgment, holding the best interests of the community at heart, and blessed with an ex- tended circle of appreciative friends." He d. Aug. 11, 1886.

She was of Scotch-Irish extrac- tion, and in her day a noted doctress; m. 3, March 9, 1796, Margaret Percy, of Peterboro'. He served in the French and Indian war, and was taken prisoner at Ticonderoga. He and another prisoner were bound and placed between two Indians ; his companion untied the cords that bound them with his teeth, and they made their es- cape, and after enduring many hardships, were able to reach their homes in safety. He settled in Groton, but about the year 1770 rem. to H. (then Society Land), and settled at No. 8, where he occupied for a short time a hunter's abandoned camp. Subse- quently he rem. to No. 10, and spent the last years of his life in the house marked " J. S. Lakin."
We have no means of knowing anything about this hunter. He was a bold pioneer without doubt; but when William Lakin took up his abode here there were but two other families in town, and per- haps but one ; for aught we know, John Grimes had left, but Moses Morrison had just established himself not far from the shores of Half-moon pond. All else was an unbroken wilderness. The nearest grist-mill was in Jaffrey, twelve miles distant, and for several years he was accustomed to shoulder a bag and go that distance to mill. He was elected constable at the first town-meeting of which we have a record, and in many ways proved himself to be a worthy citizen.
He made frequent visits to Groton, always going on foot, and from time to time brought bundles of small apple-trees on his back to H., and as a result in a few years he had a large orchard. He d. in 1816. Children : -

His early advan- tages for an education were somewhat better than the rest of the family enjoyed, as he spent some years in Groton after the family rem. to H., and he not only inherited the military spirit of the family, but the stirring scenes of the Revolutionary period must have made a lasting impression on his mind.
