Stearns & Co., which has developed from the little store founded by him in 1847. His energy, however, was by no means confined within commercial lines, as he was for many years superintendent of the largest Sunday school in the city, later a deacon of the Old South church, for a long time presi- dent of the City Missionary Society, and generally prominent in religious activities.

He came to New Ipswich about 1764 and located upon the farm first occupied by Joseph Stevens, and in later years by the Supply Wilson family, (35, N. D.) He was a citizen of the town for nearly twenty years, and his position as a leader is clearly indicated by his election as a selectman in 1767, and later representative in the third year in which that officer was chosen, and still more by his mem- bership in the Committee of Inspection, Correspondence, and Safety. It is, therefore, somewhat strange that no record of his life after leaving this town has come to light, and that tradition is silent concerning him. Children :

Stratton (Samuel)
STRATTON.
Two apparently distinct families bearing this name have been repre- sented in New Ipswich, but the one descended from the emigrant Samuel Stratton of Watertown, Mass., contains nearly the entire number. The smaller family, appearing some years later and descended from John Stratton, also of Watertown, very probably is akin to the first, but if such is the case the relationship is unknown.

History of New Ipswich
7. iii. JOHN, b. Nov. 26, 1775; d. Jan. 28, 1842; m. Charlotte Frink. He was a millwright and remained in New Ipswich a few years after his majority. But his name disappears from the records in 1799, and he soon after removed to Oxford, N. Y., where he was a successful farmer and millowner. He had ten children.

16. xii. JEREMIAH.++
2. HEZEKIAH6 (Hezekiah5, Samuel4, Samuel3, Samuel2, Samuel1), b. July 24, 1746; m. Eunice Hayward. Tradition makes him resident in New Ipswich for a short time, prob- ably at about the time of his brother Daniel's arrival in the town, but if so he did not remain. He went to Maine and settled at Winslow, the site of Fort Halifax, where his brother Daniel had served only two or three years before.
3. NEHEMIAH6 (Hezekiah5, Samuel4, Samuel8, Samuel2, Samuel1), b. Jan. 15, 1759; m. (1) Sarah Prichard (7); (2) Lois Newhall (7). His name appears upon the New Ipswich tax-lists from 1780, when he became twenty-one years of age, until 1795, at about which time he removed to Albion, Me. His place of residence is uncertain, but it is probable that it was near that of his brother in the Knight's Hill neighbor- hood, the early settled portion of the town. Apparently, how- ever, his arrival in town was some years before he reached his majority, as he gave Revolutionary service in the com- panies of Capts. Josiah Brown, Stephen Parker, and Robert Fletcher in 1777 and 1778. In 1781 he enlisted for three years or during the war. Record of only two children has been found. Children :
17. i. SALLY, b. Feb. 5, 1786.
18. ii. HANNAH, b. June 18, 1787; m. (1) - Sprague; (2) 1818, Stephen Wheeler (72).

ASA® (Eleazer5, Hezekiah4, Samuel3, Samuel2, Samuel1), b. Northfield, Mass., Sept. 8, 1758; m. Lucy Woodbury. He served in the Revolution, being present at the surrender of Burgoyne.
