THOMAS1 PHILBRICK, with his wife and six children, emigrated from Lincolnshire, Eng., in company with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall and others. They arrived in Massachusetts Bay, June 12, 1630, after a tempestuous voyage of seventy-six days. They attempted a settlement where Salem, Mass., now is, but in July went to Watertown, Mass. Here Thomas Philbrick remained until 1645, when he rem. to Hampton, N. H., his son, John, having previously settled there in 1639. He d. in 1667, being very aged; his wife, Elizabeth, d. in 1663.

* DR. JAMES PETERSON was educated in the common schools of New York, and came to Weare in 1819. He was then sixteen years of age; a tall, gaunt specimen of a boy, dressed in homespun, without a dollar in his pocket, all his worldly posses- sions tied up in a red bandanna handkerchief. He commenced to study medicine with his uncle, Dr. Samuel Peterson, who died the following July. James then re- turned to New York, and graduated from the Clinton medical society, at Plattsburg, in 1824. He immediately commenced practice in Weare, where he remained until his death in 1870. He had a large practice in Weare and the surrounding towns, and was for many years the family physician of such leading men as Governor Gilmore, of Concord, and Hiram Bell, of Henniker. Doctor Peterson was a man of sound judg- ment, and one who fought his own way from an humble beginning to the honorable position he held for many years.
