History of New Ipswich
name first appears upon the town records in 1785. He first settled near the south line of the town, a little east of the point where the river enters from Ashby, on lot 74, A. D., but apparently remained there only a few years, removing to the Francis Fletcher farm, (XIII : 1, S. R.) The place of his home there, upon a road now almost impassable, extending from Davis Village to the house of George S. Wheeler, can still be recognized, but the house was suddenly destroyed by its owner about sixty years since to prevent its appropriation by the town authorities for the use of sufferers from smallpox. Children :
2. i. WILLIAM, b. about 1766.+
3. ii. HANNAH.
4. iii. JOSEPH, m. July 12, 1790, Lydia Preston (9), and removed to Whitingham, Vt. It is not certain that he was a son of William, but as his name appears upon the town records but a little later than that of his assumed father, and earlier than that of William, Jr., the assumption seems reasonable. There are known to have been other children, probably never residents in the town.

BURTON.
BONIFACE1 BURTON was one of the earliest settlers of Lynn, Mass., where he died June 13, 1669, at which time he was said to be 113 years old, but a historian of that time adds the remark "I am afraid that much exaggeration was formerly used with respect to the ages of old people."

1. ROBERT1 CAMPBELL, a native of Scotland, was in New Ipswich as early as 1760. His name appears upon the tax- lists of the town from its incorporation until 1791, soon after which he probably died. He lived upon the "Jesse Stearns farm," (7, N. L. O.)

After 1795, he was Judge of Probate for Hillsborough County. For some years he was the only lawyer between Keene and Groton, and necessarily rode over a very extended circuit. By successive purchases

he obtained the farm situated west of Bank Village, since owned by his grandson, Hon. John Preston, and he built upon it the farmhouse which was destroyed by fire. He lived in this house for some years, but later he removed to the house upon the hillside across the street from the present Baptist church, which was for so long a time the home of Esquire Preston. This home was conveniently near Judge Champ- ney's office, situated, like his home, upon the old "country road," just east of the Joseph Kidder Brook, and facing upon the Village Green. Children :
