Although her husband lived to the age of seventy-five years, he never married again, which may be considered the most endearing tribute of affection to his departed wife. They had one son, David4; he m. Margaret McPherson; had twelve ch. : James5, Elizabeth5, Daniel5, Mary5, David5, John5, Annis5, Jenny5, Margaret5, Silas5,* Robert5, Sally5. For a second wife he m.

ants of his daughter Martha, and while the record of her life is so meagre that scarcely any trace can be found save date of birth and death, and no painter has caught her face upon the canvas so that we can look upon her likeness, yet the strong resemblance between her family and their descend- ants and the McKeen family, give proof of her strong mental and physi- cal endowments. She was the daughter of Annis Cargill, the second wife of her father. An elder half-sister married John Cochran, and was the mother of the Elizabeth Cochran that married William, her husband's younger brother. She died May 14, 1803, aged 81.
* Silas MeKeen' studied theology, and was settled in Belfast, Maine, nine years. Subsequently he was settled in Bradford, Vt., of which town he prepared a history for the press In a letter dated Jan. 5, 1876, he writes : " My grandfather, James McKeen, died at Corinth, Vt., at the house of my father, April 3. 1794, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. My father, David McKeen', first married Margaret MePherson, of Lon- donderry, N H., by whom he had six sons and six daughters. After her decease, he m. Lydia Ingalls, of Metlmen, and by her had one son and one daughter; so the grandchildren of Elizabeth (Dinsmoor3) MeKeen were fourteen in all. Of these, three died in early youth, and three at mature age, but unmarried. Of the others it may be said : Davids, John5, und Roberts married and settled in western New York.

Elizabeth Nesmith, dan. of James and Elizabeth (MeKeen) Nesmith, and sister of James, who m. his sister, Mary. (See Nesmith family.) Robert, it is said, drew the lot to remain on the homestead, with his father, when the latter divided his farm among his three sons. He d. in Windham, March 26, 1594, @. 67. His widow survived him a little more than twenty-three years, living with her son, James, until he died, and subsequently with his widow and grandchildren, at the old homestead, till Nov. 23, 1817.

30. William8 [8] (Robert?, John1), was b. in Windham, May 9, 1731. When his father's farm was divided, the " Jenny's Hill " place, so called, came by lot to him. He m. Elizabeth, dau. of John and Jane (McKeen) Cochran, of Windham, grand- daughter of Justice MeKeen. He built a house and barn near the spring, at the south side of Jenny's Hill, set out an orchard. and made, for that day, fine improvements. It was a beautiful location for a home. It commanded a view of Cobbett's Pond (to the shore of which his land extended) ; also, the Monadnock Mountain in New Hampshire, and the Wachusett in Massachu- setts. The tract of land which he owned embraced about fourteen hundred acres. He had great mechanical genius for one possessing so little opportunity for its cultivation, his time being. for the most part, occupied in clearing the dense forest that covered the lands of his homestead. But in the necessities of a new country, his genius supplied plows and other farming implements, which ena- bled him to cultivate his land, and doubtless he was obliged to invent his hand tools with which to construct his machinery. We cannot omit here the beautiful tribute to the memory of his

Silas5, that is myself, had by his first wife three daughters, and by his second wife three daughters and one son, -all of whom, with their mother, are now deceased, with the exception of Philenas and Phebes, who have performed a great work in high female seminaries, and are now spending a year in Europe. Just at this time they are in Rome. I am the only survivor of my father's family, and am living with my third wife, in Bradford, Vt.

brother, Samnels, written in a letter to his sister, Mrs. Mary Nesmith8.
" When I reflect on days of yore, When Sammy, my dear brither, Amang my feet did pile a store ()' learning up thegither. Whan ah! poor me! might had my share, Had I na been o'er stout;
It seemed sae far beneath my care, I for it would na lout. Had I improved that precions time, As he did aft invite,
- wad na need to shame this rhyme Wi' nggly scribbled write.
Whist, muse! be silent, haud your tongue ! Past time will ne'er come back ;
The time that's present, or to come, Let us the best o't make."
It may be well to remind the reader that this little poem could not have been written in imitation of Burns, as he was not born till about nine years after William Dinsmoor died. When we reflect on the condition of that part of New Hampshire then, - a few poor settlers in a thickly wooded country, with the land all to be cleared, before it could be cultivated; with houses, roads, mills, churches, indeed almost every element of civilization to be con- structed, and that, too, on a sterile soil and in a hard climate, with the Indians and French hanging on their flank at all times, one would think the common mind would have forgotten books and learning, in the grand battle for personal existence. But here we find a man, born amid this privation, and grown to man- hood, having reared a large family, all the time fighting the bat- tle of life, with really fearful odds against him, upbraiding him- self for his neglect of learning, in strains that speak at once pure affection for his brother, a keen sense of his own mental defects, and evince a genius for composition worthy of cultivation. He died in 1811, in the seventy-first year of his age. His large farm was divided among his sons in this way: Robert4 had the most southern portion, including the present farms of John-H. and William-A. Dinsmoor; John4, the most northern, including J .- T. Hunnewell's; William+ had the farm next to Robert, living on the Olin Parker place; and Isaac4, the one next to John4, now the George-W. Hanscom farm, embracing the tract on which stood the dwelling-house and barn of his father.
By the kindness of the Hon. George-W. Nesmith, of Franklin, we are favored with a copy of another letter, addressed to his grandfather, James Nesmith, which, so far as we can learn, has never been in print. The fact that it has been preserved in man- useript so long (118 years), that it has been copied and admired by James Dinsmoor, of Kentucky, and by the younger Gov. Samuel Dinsmoor of New Hampshire, entitles it to a place in our pages.

TO MR. JAMES NESMITH, IN LONDONDERRY. Now, faithful bearer, nei as you 're directed, And on your way be frae ilk ill protected ; My service gie to Jamie my guid Brither, And Moll his wife, the daughter o' my Mither : Tell them y' are sent as fast as y'e could rin. And bidden ask if a' be weel within ; If they say weel, and how's n' with yoursel. Gie them this paper, and say that will tell.
Then tirst of a', the wife's laid on the strae ; Tho' that seems hard, we are glad to see it sie. But stranger yet, the first day of this week A chiel came in, that ne'er could speak Nor tell his name, nor yet what brought him here : And yet to look at, he's baith fat and fair. He often greets, yet ennnot shed a tear, Nor can we think, he guid or ill does fear. Now what I want o' you. I'm ganen to tell That you'd come here, and see this sight yourser. 'T is no excuse to say the road is dreigh, - To answer that, I'll say that Bonsey's * high ; Nor dinna say ye baith can ill leave hame ; In saying that, ye wo'll your bairns shame ; Nor let me hear, ye ha' na' time,- That and true friendship's laws will never chime. Then tauk nae mair, but mount and come along. Though hills be high. Bousey will up them sprang. I this will say, and yet deny 't is vaunting, The best within the house shall no' be wanting. Our house but seldom rarities affords ; Wi' ploughman's fare, we best can chid a board : Baith meat and meal we seldom ever want : For kail and barley we are never scant ; Baith Irishmen and turnips we ha'e scouth, Set them down sep'rately yet ha'e dishes routh. And if to see our stranger ye will come, Ye'll stand a chance to get a glass of Rum. If ony Rebrochs to fore till then, Wi' it and syder, we the lave will spend ; And one thing more that a' the lave surpasses,
We'ill spin the time in cheerful merry clashes. When at my house you twa at once I see. I'll take it greatest favor done to me ; But, if I cannot see ye baith thegither, I will conclude ye will make me a step Brither; Of ilkn guid things may ye hae a store, Sa'e I remain your Brither, WILL DINSMOOR.

He settled on a farm in the southerly part of Antrim, known afterwards as the " Zadock Dodge farm." On page 333 of the "History of Londonderry, N. H.," appears his name among those who, on June 24, 1776, signed an agree- ment to oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and armies against the United American Colonies. He was killed by falling from a defective staging erected abont the west porch of the meeting-house in Antrim. Rev. J .- W. Whiton, in his history of Antrim, speaks of him as being, at the time of his death, an active and promising young man. He left a widow, who survived him but a few years, and one child.

Nesmith, from whom the writer gathered these facts, and in whose father's family she was brought up, writes : -
"She m. James Dunlap, and first went to reside in Henniker, but subsequently moved on the farm, late her father's, in Antrim. She died at the birth of her first child, and thus the family of James became extinct. It is related to the credit and generosity of her heirs, that at her death they quitclaimed to her husband their title to the farm she inherited from her father, which, by her death withont issue, fell to them."
