270. John-Barnett5 [151] (William4, William3, Robert2, John1), b. Windham, April 15, 1810; d. Feb. 8, 1882. He supple- mented his common-school education by a year at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, and at the age of seventeen was apprenticed to John Dow, of Haverhill, in mercantile pursuits. After completing his term with Mr. D., he went to Lowell and remained there as clerk and proprietor in the dry-goods business till 1845. He took an active part in that city in the cause of temperance and in the antislavery movement, when neither cause was popular with the masses. In 1845 he removed to Cambridge City, Ind., and there continued in his former business till about the breaking out of the war in 1861, when he retired from business. During the war he was connected with the sanitary commission some time, and in that capacity contracted disease which rendered him an inva- lid, and compelled him to retire from active business.

June 1, 1841, Josiah-Webster Pillsbury, b. in Hamilton, Mass., March 20, 1811, Dartmouth Coll., 1840. For the two years succeeding her marriage she was a teacher in the Pepperell Acad- emy at Pepperell, Mass., of which her husband was principal, and for two years thereafter in the high school at Weymouth, Mass., settling in Milford, N. H., in 1845. In 1857 she rem. with her family to the adjoining town of Amherst, N. H., returning to Milford in 1861, where, with her husband, she now lives. Her active temperament and vigor of mind, with her social qualities, lively wit, and talent for mimicry, by which her friends are often entertained, make her a prominent figure in neighborhood and village affairs, and the people among whom she lives have occa- sion long to remember her readiness to sacrifice herself in re- sponse to any call of suffering or needy humanity. Her husband was an early abolitionist, and she engaged with him in the cause, making her house a place of entertainment for the antislavery agents and orators, and probably a station of the " underground railroad" as well. During the war she was active in the work of the local branch of the sanitary commission, and more recently her efforts in behalf of the newly-formed Unitarian society of Milford have employed much of her time and attention, and con- tributed largely to its prosperity.
