BURNHAM.
The earliest trace we find of the Burnham family takes us back to the days and scenes of Burnham Oaks, the seat of an English country gentleman at a period when it was a custom of a rich landholder to gather about him a large retinue of servants, tillers of the soil and defenders of his castle in arms. If he came from Normandy we are not certain, but, be it as it will, this kingly Rupert was a man of considerable renown. From him we trace the line to Robert, Thomas, who came to New England prior to 1640, John, Thomas, Stephen, Joshua, Thomas, b. in Milford, Mass., in 1783 ; m. in 1807, Rachel Conant, and rem. to Antrim, N. H., in 1821. He lived for sixteen years on the Madison Tuttle farm in that town, when, in 1837, he came to Hillsborough Upper Village, where he d. in 1856; his wid. d. in 1871 in Nashua, aged 87 years.

JAMES SMITH, son of James and Jane (Grimes) Butler, was born September 23, 1832, in H., where his father was engaged in mercantile pursuits. Here, outside of the public-schools, he. received his early training in his father's store, proving an apt pupil. Upon the death of his father, he took up the business in earnest, carrying it on for over fifty years. His reputation for enterprise and honesty soon reached beyond his native town, so he had a wide trade.
Being keen to realize the prospective value of real estate in a growing village, he continued to add to his possessions, until he owned a large share of the business section of the town. At one time he owned more than forty tenements, all of which yielded him excellent returns. He also acquired considerable tracts of farming land in Texas, and held large interests in mining and railroad property.
He was an active Republican, but never a politician, and would never accept a public office, with the exception of serving as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors 1886-1888, and holding

CARR.
The name of this family is found upon the records spelled in various ways as Kar, Karr, Ker, Kerr, and in olden times the "K" was almost always used instead of "C". Finally, however, the latter letter was adopted, and the form of spelling given at the head of this article is the one usually accepted, so that style will be followed here. The first member of the family we have traced was Thomas Carr, b. in Haverhill, Mass., Aug. 5, 1725; he m. in 1747, Hannah -, b. Jan. 29, 1729, in Antrim, and in 1757(?) rem. to Londonderry, where they remained until 1787( ?) when they came to H. to live with their children. He d. April 22, 1797 ; wid. d. April 8, 1817.
The above couple were the parents of II children, one of whom, James Carr, set. in town as early as 1779, and two years later he was joined by his twin brothers, Thomas and Robert. These last named bought adjoining farms in the northwest part of the town near East Washington. Bears were plenty in that vicinity, the "Great Bog" being a favorite rendezvous for them, and woe to the sheep and pigs that were allowed to stray at night. These brothers both served in the Revolutionary War, and Thomas was present and within 50 feet of the gallows when Major Andre was executed. They married twin sisters upon the same day.
