JAMES EASTMAN
came to Sutton about 1839 from Concord, and for several years kept the tavern in the North village. The opening of the railroad from Concord to Bradford having diverted the travel from the neighborhood, he finally gave up the tavern, but remained in this town as long as he lived.

EVANS.
Tappan Evans, of Newburyport, m. Abigail, dau. of Dea. John' and Lydia (Haynes) Merrill, of Haverhill, Mass., b. Dec. 9, 1746. They settled in Warner, probably soon after 1770, as it is related that the first oxen that ever stepped foot in Sutton were driven by this sea captain, Tappan Evans, assisting to bring thither the goods and family of Samuel Bean, a very early settler, the roads above Warner being at that date so difficult as to render extra help neces- sary.
Three of the children of Tappan Evans became some- what identified with this town, viz., Benjamin, who, as stated elsewhere, did business here in the early years of the present century, Jacob, a school teacher, noted as a disci- plinarian, and Judith, who m. Oct. 7, 1799, Jacob Quimby, and resided here some years. Children, as found on Sutton records,-
I. Benjamin, b. Aug. 31, 1800.

III. Susan, b. Oct. 12, 1804.

becomes further identified with Sutton through the eldest daughter, Abigail, who married Hon. Reuben Porter, and came to Sutton to live, and here reared their many children. [See Porter. ]
The children of Hon. Benjamin and Susannah (Wadleigh) Evans were,-
/ . 1. Abigail, b. April 30, 1796 ; d. July 29, 1882.
2. Susan, d. young.
2 3. Susan, 2d, m. Dr. Leonard Eaton. [See " Eaton Grange."]

7. Hannah, m. Abner Woodman (2d wife). She d. May 26, 1885. 8. Benjamin, d. at the age of 6 years.
Mr. Evans was a man of immense energy. He was engaged in various kinds of business besides storekeeping. He had a farm and saw-mill at Roby's Corner, and traded largely in cattle, and was extensively engaged in coopering. While in Sutton he built the large two-story house in the South village, known as the Evans house, and now owned by Mrs. John Andrew. He also built the store, of two stories, this being the first erected for a store and hall above in this town; before that stores had been kept in private houses.
In Sutton Mr. Evans was prominent and popular as a public man. Returning to Warner he was many years representative; he was senator in 1830, in old district No. 8, and was in the governor's council in 1836-'37, and in 1838 was appointed sheriff of Merri- mack county.
II. Jacob Evans, the teacher, was well known through this and the neighboring towns as "Master Evans," and was fully believed to be able to reign absolute monarch in any school he undertook, and perhaps for that reason was one winter employed to teach the school at the South district in Sutton, which had been in a mutinous condition, the scholars having driven out two masters already. The school numbered one hundred and fifteen scholars, twenty of them being young men, and some of them six feet tall. . But Master Evans, being a man of much courage, and possessed of immense bodily strength, felt confident of his power to govern as well as to instruct, and after one severe contest he did govern the school.
For the first day or two everything was tolerably quiet, but that was only because the great boys were maturing their scheme for overpowering the master, as they had done his predecessors. One

day, having just rapped to call the scholars in from recess, he was seated in his desk, writing copies. The younger scholars came in and took their seats quietly ; then a noisy stamping and shouting outside was followed by the entrance of the great boys, each with a big stick of wood for a weapon, and marching as if going to battle. The master saw that the conflict was close at hand, had come, in fact. "Shoulder arms!" cried the leader of the boys, but,- "Ground arms !" shouted Master Evans as, dropping his pen, he rushed into the fight, and laid about him with fist and fire shovel, to the right and left. One and another, and another of the mutineers he felled to the floor in a few seconds. The younger scholars screamed in terror, the master assuring them he could conquer all without killing any, ordered them to "shut up," and they did "shut up." In a very few minutes the battle was all over, and quiet was restored. The leaders being vanquished, their followers concluded that prudence was better than valor, and showed their wisdom by submission to the master's authority. Master Jacob Evans for the remainder of the term governed his school without trouble.
One of the witnesses to this conflict was living in 1876,-Mrs. Col. John Harvey,- and as she was one of the small scholars, it is probable that Master Evans did that good piece of work sometime in the later nineties of the last century. In 1797 he taught school in the north part of Sutton, as the following papers show, and had hard work to collect his pay for the same. In a letter to Mr. Har- vey, who seems to have been the financial committee of the district, he says :
"Sir,-I expect to go a long journey soon, and should be exceed- ing glad for that trifle that is due me for Schooling. Necessity drives me to ask. From your Humble Servant,
Jacob Evans.
Warner, April 1, 1797.
April 7, 1797, one week later, he writes :
" Deacon Harvey, Sir, S
d S d
Mr. Hoyt's accompt is 0/7, My due is 22/3, on schooling, and I should be exceeding glad of the pay. Jacob Evans."
Folded in with these letters was a paper labelled, "Schooling ac'ct for a number of years," years 1794-'97. For the last, 1797, one of the items charged is "For collecting and hauling to Hopkin- ton, to pay Mr. Evans, 24 bushels of corn."
699
GENEALOGY.
From the same "schooling account " it appears that Stephen Bailey taught the school in 1794, 8 weeks and 3 days, and that his board was 5 shillings per week, and that the next year he taught 24 weeks, and in 1796 the school term was 12 weeks, and that Simon Kezar was "Committee to get a school master."
FLINT.
Sometime in the latter half of the last century Edmund Flint and his wife Susanna lived in Mont Vernon. The names of their children are known, but not their order. They were Calvin, Isaac, Polly, Simeon, Susanna, Bath- sheba, Molly, Betsey, Ebenezer, Lucy. This family moved to Amherst, and several of the children settled there. Polly, Bathsheba, Susanna, and Ebenezer afterwards came to Sutton. Polly m. Adam Davis; Bathsheba m. Daniel Richardson ; Ebenezer m. Jan. 2, 1807, Charlotte Austin, and Susanna m. Saul Austin. Charlotte Austin and Saul Austin were brother and sister, being children of Solomon Austin, who came from Amherst to Sutton about 1800, and settled near the base of the mountain. To make the rec- ord of this union of the Flint and Austin families as plain as possible, the old fashioned phrase serves best to express the same, viz., that Saul Austin and Ebenezer Flint "swap- ped sisters."
Isaac Flint m. Susan Russell, of Francestown, and lived many years in Sutton, on " Birch Hill." Simeon Flint lived in Sutton occasionally. He was a repairer of watches and clocks, and in the prosecution of his business went from place to place. Calvin Flint went to Vermont to live. Betsey Flint m. - Kendall, in Amherst. Molly Flint m. - Baldwin, in Amherst.
Ebenezer Flint, of Sutton, was a man remarkable for industry, honesty, and integrity. He was born probably in Mont Vernon, about 1784; d. Feb. 17, 1864 : he dropped dead in his own door-yard. Children, all b. in Sutton except the first, she in Mont Vernon,-

FELCH.
The immigrant ancestor of the Sutton Felch families was Henry Felch, who came to this country from Wales about 1640, accompanied by his son Henry, born probably in Wales about 1610. They and their descendants lived in Reading, Mass., and in Seabrook. Later some of them set- tled in Weare, while others went to Vermont. The Sutton families came from the Weare branch. They were related to each other, but not very nearly, being descended from two different sons of Henry, Jr.
