He married Sarah Dole, by whom he had several children, born in England, and emigrated to this country in 1635, settling at Newbury, (Newburyport) Mass.

THE HADDOCK FAMILY.
I. William Haddock was born in 1769, and removed to Sal- isbury from Haverhill, Mass., previous to 1794, building the middle part of the dwelling occupied as the Orphans Home, at Lower Franklin, the west end of the house having been built by Daniel Webster and the east end by Mr. Fay. Mr. Had- dock was by trade a tanner and currier, which business he con- tinued here, in addition to shoemaking and the grinding of bark. After the death of William Hoit, about 1805, he erected a store now standing, (the yellow building west of the Orphans Home) in which he traded for some years, closing up the busi- ness previous to his death. He built the house occupied by G. B. Matthews, where he d. June 3, 1828.

from his mother, his natural endowments and diligence in application made him the best scholar of his class. After graduating, in 1816, he entered the Theological Seminary, at Andover, Mass., remaining two years, im- paired health not permitting him to complete his course. To restore his health he made a tour on horseback through many of the southern states, returning in 1815 greatly improved. He was at once appointed to the chair of rhetoric at Dartmouth, being but twenty-three years of age, which position he held till 1838. For the duties of this professorship he was especially fitted by his varied culture and high scholarship. As an instruct- or he was thorough, as a critic discriminating, as a writer fertile, and as a speaker graceful and attractive. With the students he was popular, endearing them to him by his dignified courtesy and that thoughtful, manly kind- ness, which improves and gives a charm to every form of intercourse. After resigning the chair of rhetoric he was elected Professor of Intellectual Philosophy and Civil Policy, resigning in 1854. While holding this posi- tion he was appointed chargé d'affaires of the United States, at Portugal, from 1850 to 1854. Prof. Haddock never sought the fame of authorship, but in 1846 he pub- lished a volume of "Addresses and Miscellaneous Writ- ings." This book consists of addresses and discourses delivered on different occasions, which are productions of rare merit, showing the same finish of style, purity of diction and richness and practicability of suggestion which characterized all his intellectual efforts. While acting for many years as secretary of the New Hamp- shire Educational Society, his published annual reports were able and comprehensive discourses upon subjects of great educational interest. Among these we find, "The Standard of Education for the Pulpit," "The Influ- ence of Elevated Mind," and "The Eloquence of the Pulpit, as affected by Ministerial Character." The latter part of his life was spent at his home in West Lebanon,

THE HOLMES FAMILY.
I. William was born at Hopkinton, April 4, 1818, and at the annual March meeting, in 1821, was struck off to the lowest bidder as a town pauper, this occurring for a number of years. Each season found him with a new master, and until well into his "teens " he had no school advantages. Without the influ- ences and care of a mother's love his life was a hard one, until 1839, when he came to Salisbury, making his home with Lieut. Benjamin Pettengill, whose farm he eventually purchased, and there continued. He built the sawmill on the old Wilder & Bowers dam, (part of which was originally a beaver dam ) saw- ing annually 500,000 feet of lumber. He owns over eight hun- dred acres of land, cultivating about one hundred acres. In all enterprises of the town he takes a prominent part, having con- tributed the lumber for the addition to the academy, also giving personal and pecuniary aid in establishing the Salisbury Tele- graph. He married, March 12, .1841, M. J., daugher of Ebene- zer Johnson.
