HISTORY OF SALISBURY
He purchased valuable property in that city and intended to make it his future home, but duty called him else- where. He was elected to the Presidency of Dartmouth College, and in May, 1877, entered upon that important and responsible position. During the ten years of his administration the College has greatly prospered, having added $400,000 to its funds, and received many valuable enlargements and improvements. His publications are a volume of "Lectures on Universalism," "Life and Death Eternal," "Sketches of Missions," "From Egypt to Palestine," and "Sources of History in the Penta- teuch." A large number of orations, addresses and re- view articles have also been published, and he is consid- ered one of the best scholars and critics on religious and literary subjects. President Bartlett is an associate member of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Soci- ety of Great Britain, which comprises the leading biblical scholars in the world. In 1861 Dartmouth conferred upon him the degree of D. D. and the College of New Jersey the degree of LL.D. He m.

WILLIAM HENRY BARTLETT.
BY HENRY P. ROLFE.
This distinguished son of Samuel Colcord and Eleanor Pet- tengill Bartlett was born in Salisbury, at the Center Road Village, August 20, 1827, the youngest child of the family. I knew him as boy, man, scholar, lawyer, magistrate and neigh- bor, and it is as valuable a compliment as I have ever received that his most estimable and accomplished widow has deemed me worthy to write a brief biographical sketch of her honored husband, for the history of Salisbury. I take intense satisfac- tion in the discharge of this duty, because I was associated with him as a school-boy at Salisbury Academy, two years as a student in Dartmouth College, three years while pursuing the study of the law in Concord, admitted to the same bar, the same year, and practised in the same and on the opposite sides of cases with him before the court of our native county, till the government of the State honored and gratified us all by placing him upon the supreme bench with Bell, Sargent, Bel- lows, Perley, Eastman, Nesmith, and Doe, all of whom were eminent jurists.
He fitted for college at Salisbury Academy, at home, under the instruction of James O. Adams, his brothers, and also at Meriden, and entered Dartmouth in 1842. Although he was the youngest member of his class, with one exception, he was acknowledged to be the leader in scholarship, and that position was accorded to him to the end of his college course, not only in his own but in all the classes. I sat by him two terms at Salisbury Academy, and I never caught him idle. There is a deserved and beautiful tribute to him in a eulogy delivered at Dartmouth at the Commencement in 1880, by Hon. Isaac W. Smith, an associate justice of the supreme court, who was for one year his classmate. He says : " I have no hesitation in say- ing I do not know that I ever met a finer scholar, and seldom
462
HISTORY OF SALISBURY
have I ever encountered a brighter or stronger intellect." I can supplement this characterization of him and say, that from the time I first met him, as a lad, up to the time when the un- seen enemy laid his remorseless hand upon him and began to abate his vital force, did I ever meet so fine a scholar or en- counter a brighter or stronger intellect of his age. In college and out, although exceedingly fond of merriment, he was never rude ; and while inflexible in his integrity, he possessed the highest type of courage. He was-
" Mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening When it floats among the trees."
He was so young when he entered college that it was deemed best for him to remain away one year. He reëntered college, and graduated in the class of 1847. During the following year he occupied his time at the Western Reserve College, where his brother Samuel C. was a professor, in the study of history, the German language, the Greek dramatic poets, and in general reading, so that when he commenced the study of law with Chief Justice Perley, in 1848,
" His library, though large, was read, Till half its contents decked his head."
He pursued the study of the law with Judge Perley till that eminent jurist went upon the bench in 1850, and after- wards with Chief Justice Bellows, till he was admitted to the bar, in Merrimack county, July 9, 1851. As his student Judge Perley admired him, as a friend he esteemed him, as a lawyer he respected him, as judge he was exceedingly proud of him, and when death came grieved as for the loss of a son.
The following is the tribute of Chief Justice Perley : "Few men have excelled him in quickness of apprehension, and this was a general trait of his mind, observable in whatever he un- dertook -in his classical and mathematical studies, in the law, and even in any amusement or recreation in which he might be led to indulge. There was a playful ease in his way of doing
463
GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY.
the most difficult things, which made them look more like amusement or a pastime than an irksome labor. With all his dispatch he was distinguished for accuracy and correctness.
It was seldom he fell into a mistake or a blunder. His mem- ory was also tenacious and exact. In the law he united two things, which are not often found together in the same indi- vidual, a perfect mastery of principles, with great and ready recollection of points and authorities."
He was the soul of professional honor ; there was no mean advantage to be taken by him. He was deferential to his as- sociates, respectful to witnesses, and there was nothing irritable or irritating, and everything he said and everything he did was entirely consistent with uniform kindness and gentleness of manner.
Space will not allow me in a brief historical notice to do jus- tice to the full merits of such a man as the subject of this sketch.
He was city solicitor of Concord, and was several times re- elected to the office, and discharged its duties to universal acceptance.
In February, 1861, in obedience to the united voice of the profession, he was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court, and- it may, with peculiar emphasis, be said of him, as Daniel Webster said of Chief Justice Jay, "When the spot- less ermine of the judicial robe fell on him, it touched nothing less spotless than itself."
How he discharged the duties of this exalted position, how he won the esteem of the good and the learned, the language of his associates can best explain. The following letter was addressed to Mrs. Bartlett on the day of the funeral :
Deir Madım :- We could not bear to separate, after assisting to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of your lamented husband and our dear friend, without some expression to you of our deep sympathy in your great bereavement.
Our intimate association with him, in the discharge of our duties, for several years past, has made us better acquainted perhaps than any others out of the im- mediate circle of his own family, with those qualities which have not only rendered him so useful to the State, but have so much endeared him to all who have had the advantage of his personal acquaintance.
464

Your grief is, we are well aware, inconsolable. May a Merciful Providence sus- tain and comfort you in this hour of your great affliction.
With greatest respect and deepest sympathy,
IRA PERLEY, J. E. SARGENT, HENRY A. BELLOWS, C. DOE, GEO. W. NESMITH.
Concord, Sept. 28, 1867.
In a note, full of gentleness and tender sympathy, addressed to Mrs. Bartlett the day after sepulture, Chief Justice Doe paid Judge Bartlett the following tribute :
" Why refer to the official sphere which he more than filled ? Why endeavor to describe any portion of his intellectual or moral nature, his public services, his private worth ? when everybody knows that in 1861, there being a vacancy on the bench, the prominent lawyers of the State refused to be can- didates, because they understood that he might be persuaded to accept the appointment (an incident unparalleled in the his- tory of New Hampshire) ; when everybody knows that as long as his physical strength permitted he not only performed his own duty with most distinguished ability but also greatly aided the rest of us; when everybody knows that he was a model judge and a model man; when everybody knows that no one is left in New Hampshire who could be so much missed, who could leave behind him a grief so unusual and profound as that which is now upon the people of all parties and all occupations."
Cut off in the flower of his manhood, at a time when the highest expectations were being realized, and before his sun had reached its zenith, he left a void that has not been filled. If "virtue, not rolling suns, the mind matures," he died in the full maturity of a grand and noble life. If "that life is best which answers life's great end," the end of this life came when he was splendidly fitted to enter upon another and a better. On the 24th of September, 1867, he passed over "the silent river."
I risk nothing in saying, for all the members of my profes- sion who knew Judge Bartlett, that we considered him while living, and now remember him when no longer with us, as our beau ideal of a judge.

HISTORY OF SALISBURY
THE BEAN FAMILY.
The common ancestor of the Beans of Salisbury was, it is believed, John, of Scotland, who emigrated to this country previous to 1660, and settled near Exeter. His wife died on the passage, and he married a woman, name not given, who accompanied them. They had six sons, as appears from family records. It is not possible to trace the genealogy, in full, by any authority at command. We have good reason to infer, as above stated, that the Salisbury families have inherited the blood and sterling characteristics of John, the Scotchman.
THE ESQUIRE JOSEPH BEAN BRANCH.
To begin with the record of those who have been identified with the history of the town, we find that " Joseph, the son of Joseph," born at Kingston, was one of the grantees and an early settler in the town. He was known as "Esquire Joseph," having been commissioned as a justice of the peace under the crown before coming to the new settlement. He was a wealthy and influential citizen, the first town treasurer, and loaned money to the town to purchase equipments and pay bounties to soldiers. Notwithstanding he refused to sign the Test Act, and complained of repeated war assessments, he paid his rates, was chosen delegate to Exeter in 1775, aided in arresting de- serters, and maintained the reputation of a loyal citizen.
He first settled on Calef Hill, erecting a house there. This he subsequently took down, rebuilding, with large additions, on the west side of what was once the Fourth New Hampshire Turnpike. This house is known as the "Bean Homestead," and is now occupied by David F. Bacon. He was greatly inter- ested in the building of the turnpike, and was instrumental in securing its location by his residence. He was a large owner of land, and gave a farm to each of his children. The present Gilbert Eastman house, which he built, was given to his son
467
GENEALOGY AND BIOGRAPHY
Amos. His death occurred "June 1, 1804, aged 66." A Kingston record says : "Joseph, son of Joseph and Betsey Fifield, his wife, born Aug. 7, 1744." There is a discrepancy in the records which we are unable to reconcile. But it mat- ters not just when he was born. We have a history of his active life on the records of the town.
Of the children of Joseph ( 1) are given Joseph (2) and Betsey, (3); the latter m. Durrell Elliot, of Boscawen. Their other children were:
Jeremiah, who is recorded "4" on the genealogical page, m. April 10, 17SS, Mehit- able, dau. of Moses Garland, and rem. to Wilmot. They had six children : Polly, d. in infancy; Dorothy, b.

I. Sinkler Bean was a native of Brentwood, from which place he removed to Contoocook (Boscawen) in 1734, and in 1766 to Salisbury. He built a log house on the west side of Blackwater river, on the upland near the Fitz meadow, a few rods southwest of D. R. McAllister's residence. With the exception of the Meloons, he was
469

the first settler west of the Blackwater. A Quaker in his religious belief, he refused to sign the "Test Act." He was a man of decided moral principle, and his influ- ence was always on the side of religion and good citi- zenship. He was the first town clerk, after the incorpo- ration of the town, and held the office four years. He gave the land for the Bean cemetery, and was a member of the committee to locate the meeting-house in Bos- cawen, in 1767. He was also an elder in the church. He m. July 18, 1739, Shuah Fifield, and d. Feb. 21, 1798. Their children were :

(6.) Phineas was a man of unusual ability, and he built a large house and kept tavern on the site of the house owned by Frank A. Watson, west of D. R. McAlister. Later, he built a frame house here, and here were born not only his children, but also those of John and Israel, his sons. In these three families thirty children were born at this ancestral home. He was appointed coroner July 5, 1795, and held the office till 1822 ; was appointed a justice in 1802, holding the office through life. He served in the revolutionary war, and an old French piece which he brought home is now the property of Rev. J. W. Bean, of Manchester. He m.
