He was a successful physician, a genial companion, a courteous and worthy citizen. By the people of Weare, whither his remains are borne to their final rest, his memory will be affectionately cherished, A the early spring will bring many sorrowers to that resting-place with fresh 8. Ors to crown his grave."- Moses Austin Cartland.

JOHNSON.
The first Johnson in this country, from whom descended the Johnsons of East Weare, was EDMUND1 JOHNSON, who, with his wife, Mary, came from Wales to New England in 1635, and settled in Winnicumet.
There is a well-kept, and perhaps well-founded, tradition, handed down from generation to generation, of two generations in Wales back of the Edmund who came to this country. The first of these two generations, who was also named Edmund, was, with his six eldest sons, drowned while fishing in the river at Ponty Pool, in the south of Wales, about the year 1600, leaving one son, John, who remained at home with his mother and thus escaped the fate of his father and elder brothers. John was born in 1588, being twelve years old at the time of his father's decease. John had two sons, John Ap John, who was a distinguished co-laborer with George Fox in founding the Society of Friends, or Quakers, in 1653, and Edmund, who settled in Winnicumet, in 1635, and perhaps other children.
Winnicumet contained at that time Hampton, North Hampton, Kensington, Hampton Falls, also a part of Rye and Seabrook. The land at first was all held in common by the grantees of the territory. The first settlers, who came in a large company at or about the same time, set apart by vote to each one of themselves a sufficient terri- tory for a homestead, varying from five to ten acres. Their pasture was cleared in common, and occupied what is now Boar's Head.
In 1639 Winnicumet was privileged to be a town, and no outside party could settle there without first obtaining leave by vote of the town, and when that was granted the town would vote him a home- stead and such other lands as they saw fit. They also confirmed as a town what they had done as settlers. As a specimen vote of 1639 the following is given : "To Edmund Johnson, 10 acres for an home lot, six acres of fresh meadow whereoff three acres or there- abouts lying near brother Jones runneth between into the upland,
