21. ii. REUBEN. This name is entered here without satisfactory evi- dence. But it seems the most probable assumption that the bearer of this name, borne beside the preceding one dur- ing the same period, is that of a brother. Reuben Hosmer and wife united with the Congregational church in 1829.

HOWE.
Two families bearing this name, but apparently not of kindred blood, have lived in New Ipswich, and are here given in succession.
HOWE (ABRAHAM).
ABRAHAM1 HOWE, d. Jan. 30, 1695; m. Mar. 6, 1657, Hannah, dau. of William Wood [b. 1639; d. Nov. 3, 1717]. He lived for a few years after coming from England in Roxbury and Watertown, Mass., but about 1662 he settled in Marlboro, Mass., where he died.
DANIEL2 (Abraham1), b. 1658; d. Apr. 13, 1718; m. Oct. 12, 1686, Elizabeth Kerley [d. 1735]. He passed his life in Marlboro, where he was a very considerable landowner and held the office of captain.
JONATHAN3 (Daniel2, Abraham1), b. Apr. 23, 1695; d. July 25, 1738; m. 1718, Sarah, dau. of Thomas and Judith Hapgood [b. Feb. 10, 1695]. Res. in Marlboro.
1. ICHABOD4 (Jonathan3, Daniel2, Abraham1), b. Jan. 9, 1730/1; m. Sarah -. He came to New Ipswich in 1754 and settled where was afterwards the Davis Village, on the "Nich-
479
History of New Ipswich
olas place," (49, N. D.) He seems to have been possessed of more money than most of his fellow townsmen, as his share of the "Minister's rate" for 1763, the first year after the in- corporation of the town, was £8 3s. 1d., amounting at the rate for those days to about $3.75, the entire list of ninety-five names calling for only six larger amounts. In 1757 he was on "the committee to hire preaching," although he did not unite with the new church until 1765, five years after its or- ganization. But on the completion of the first meeting-house in 1759 he was on the committee in charge of the delicate business of assigning seats with a due regard to the dignity of each individual. In business matters he was first on the "committee to examine the Selectmen's accounts," or in the more modern form he was the first auditor elected by the town. The next year he was first selectman, and the next he held that office and also that of town clerk. But his record here was brief, as in 1769 he was one of a party which left the town to settle the newer town of Camden, Me. Children :

2. ISAAC4 (Jonathan3, Daniel2, Abraham1), b. Jan. 27, 1734/5 ; d. Oct. 16, 1800; m. Dec. 17, 1760, Sybil, dau. of Joseph Proctor. He came to New Ipswich several years later than his brother, probably about 1762. He settled westward from his brother, at the distance of a half-mile by a now abandoned road. His house was burned nearly a century ago, but it stood on or near the site of the house formerly occupied by Samuel C. Wheeler, which is still standing on the road run- ning southerly from his later brick residence upon the Turn- pike, (57, N. D.) His ministerial rate was fifty cents less than that of his brother, but he was equally active in town matters. He was chosen upon committees supposed to be formed of the wiser and more discreet citizens for such duties as giving instructions to the town's representative or for ac- tion in respect to the formation of the state constitution. He held the offices of town clerk and first selectman five years of the time during which those positions of responsibility

were united. He gave service in the Revolutionary times as a member of the Committee of Correspondence and Inspection, and also in the field he was a sergeant in the company sud- denly formed in 1775, adjutant in Col. Enoch Hale's regiment on its expedition to Ticonderoga in 1776, and quartermaster of the same regiment on service in Rhode Island in 1778. Chil- dren :

HUBBARD.
GEORGE1 HUBBARD, b. England, 1594; d. Jan., 1683; m. Mary, dau. of John and Anne Bishop [d. Sept. 14, 1675]. He came from England about 1633 and after a residence of two years at Watertown, Mass., removed to Connecticut and settled at Wethersfield, from which town he was the first representative. He removed to Milford about 1639, and thence in 1650 to Guildford, where he completed nearly half a century of citizenship in Connecticut.
JOHN2 (George1), b. England, about 1630; d. 1702; m. about 1648, Mary Merriam of Concord, Mass. At about the age of thirty he removed from Wethersfield, Conn., to Hadley, Mass., and thence, twelve years later, to Hatfield, Mass., where he passed his remaining years.
JONATHAN3 (John2, George1), b. Wethersfield, Jan. 3, 1658/9; d. July 17, 1728; m. Jan. 15, 1681, Hannah, dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth (King) Rice of Marlboro, Mass. He resided at Hatfield, and later at Concord, Mass., where he died.
JONATHAN4 (Jonathan3, John2, George1), b. Concord, Mass., June 18, 1683; d. Townsend, Mass., Apr. 7, 1761; m. Sept. 26, 1704, Rebecca Brown. He resided in Groton, Mass., and Townsend, Mass., in which last town he was representative for several years, town clerk, deacon, and major. He was one of the grantees named in the Masonian Charter of New Ipswich and was moderator of the first meeting of the Proprietors held in the town, June 20, 1750. But there are no indications that he ever became an actual resident. One of the four lots which were drawn by him, situated in the northern part of the town, has never had a permanent road upon it; the highway through two others, near the Massachusetts line, has been long abandoned; and only the fourth lot, extending from the central graveyard to Hodgkins' Corner, now shows any activity. He was also one of the Proprietors of Rindge, where "Hubbard Pond" per- petuates his name, but neither did he live in that town.

the ministry. He became a teacher in New Ipswich in 1787, and upon the incorporation of the Academy in 1789 he was appointed its first preceptor, which position he held until 1795, in which last year he was elected town clerk. During the following six years he was an apothecary at Walpole, and postmaster in 1799. From 1798 to 1802 he was probate judge of Cheshire County, principal of Deerfield Academy 1802 to 1804, and from 1805 until his death professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Dartmouth College. His musical ability should not pass without mention here, as his influence in elevating the musical standard in New Ipswich during his residence in town as a teacher was very marked; later he published an "Essay on Music" which he read before the Middlesex Musical Society, and also a collection of anthems from composers far in advance of the American standard in his time.
