THE SCRIBNER FAMILY.
FIVE BRANCHES.
I. Samuel, came from Kingston, and while there he bought land in Salisbury, of Jonathan Sanborn, then a resident of Kingston, the deed bearing date of March 1, 1753. Soon after this he erected a log house. On August 17, 1754, he and his fellow-workman, Robert Barber, were captured by the Indians, while engaged in haying on what is called the "Proctor mead- ow," now owned by Elbridge Shaw on North road. (See pages 246-248.) After his return from captivity he went to Kingston, where he found his wife and children. Previous to his capture he got out the timber for his large frame house, and after visit- ing his family he returned and put up the house located on the North road and known as the Proctor house. It is said that when he came here his family consisted of a wife and six small children, to which number one was added after his removal here. From old records I find a Samuel Scribner married at Kingston, Nov. 4, 1740, Hannah Webster, said to be a cousin of Daniel Webster.

94 Thomas Scribner as early as 1765 resided in town, near its northern boundary with Andover. The following, from a letter written by Albert G. Scribner, of Ogden. N. Y., contains all the information I have been able to gather concerning him or his descendants : "Thomas Scribner, of Andover, was my grandfather. I have no history back of 1760 or 1765, and that I take from the birth of my father, who was a son of Thomas. He was born May 12, 1767, married when about twenty, and died May II, 1853, aged 86. His mother's name was Hannah Day. Thomas had two sons and four daughters, David the eldest. Jonathan was married and was drowned soon after ; Mehitable married a Dudley ; Hannah mar- ried a Roberts; Olly married a Keyser ; Rachel I have

no account of. I have no record of the time of births, marriages, or deaths of any except my father. They all ยท died long ago. My parents resided in Andover, at a place called Beech hill, where they raised a family of nine children to man and womanhood. I had four broth- ers and four sisters ; they are all dead but one-my youngest brother." At the time Mr. Scribner wrote the above letter he was in his eighty-third year.
THE SHAW FAMILY.
Roger Shaw was at Cambridge, Mass., in 1636, and removed to Hampton, N. H., being one of the petitioners to the general court in 1638. The family came originally from Scotland. The earliest record I have of this family is that of four brothers : 1. Caleb, grandfather of Elder Abijah Shaw, one of whose daughters married - Ladd and removed to Andover. II. Elisha. III. Moses. Iv. Gideon, who lived and died at Hampton.
I. Benjamin Shaw was a resident of Sandown ; m. - Follans- bee and had :
2. Edward, a deacon at Newbury ; m. - and had a large family.
