DR. ARCHELAUS-F. PUTNAM'S FAMILY.
1. John Putnam1, came from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1634, and settled in Danvers, Mass., then called Salem Village. His three sons, Thomas2, Nathaniel2, and John2, emigrated with him. He died suddenly at the age of 80 years. From him are descended, it is claimed, all of the name in this country. Danvers has been the home of the family to the present time.
2. John2, his son, succeeded his father; his son,
3. Eleazer3, succeeded him, who was followed by
4. Samuel4, who d. Dec. 14, 1781, æ. 74 years.

6. Dr. Archelaus-F.6, of Windham, was b. on the homestead, in Danvers, near Middletown, Oct. 3, 1792. There his father and his grandfather had lived, and their bodies now repose in the grave-yard near the house. His mother was Sarah Fuller. He graduated at Dartmouth College in 1819. From 1821-24 he was preceptor of Moore's Charity School, at Hanover. Studied divinity one year at Andover Theological Seminary, 1825-26. Failing health compelled him to abandon the preparation for his chosen work. He entered Dartmouth Medical College in 1826, and graduated in 1829. Ilis health was so broken by repeated illness that his professional studies were interrupted, and in 1829 he studied with Dr. Nathan Crosby, of Lowell, Mass .; he commenced the practice of medicine at Portsmouth, N. H., in

the fall of 1829. In July, 1836, he came to Windham ; he owned and occupied the house close by Mrs Mary-A. Milner's, in the village. He was a good physician, a good townsman, an excellent man. He frequently served as a member of the superintending school committee. His health becoming very much impaired, he left town in JInne, 1844, returned to Danvers, and gave up the practice of medicine. He was never married. He removed to Beverly, Mass., in Oct. 1846, where he remained till his death, Aug. 11, 1859. Another says of him, " He was a feeble and afficted man all his days. He lost his health early in life, and never regained it. A man of good talents, an excellent teacher of youth, an acceptable physician, and he possessed a Christian character; he made a public profession of religion in 1825, and lived an exemplary Christian life. His end was peace."

QUIGLEY FAMILY.
1. Thomas Quigley1, came from Ireland and settled in Wind- ham. He was shipwrecked on the coast and lost everything, in- cluding his clothing; and when he landed upon American soil, he was nearly in primitive attire; all the clothing upon his person consisted of a shirt-collar. He was in town previous to 1739; was a signer of the petition for the incorporation of Windham in 1742; was selectman in 1744. His house stood probably in the field southeast of George Copp's house; an old cellar is still there. In 1762 he moved to Francestown, and settled on a tract of land owned by Willard Carter in 1861. He took up large tracts of land and settled his children .about him, giving each a farm. He sold his 84 acres in Windham, May 26, 1783 .* Children, as far as known : -
* A few years ago, while an old chimney was being taken down in the Ripley house, on the Turnpike, an old grave-stone was found built into it, on which was this inscription : " Lilias Quigley, d. July 5, 1757, a. 2 yrs." No one knows anything more in regard to it.

George Reid's, company, which joined the American forces at Medford, Mass., soon after the "Lexington alarm," and was in the battle of Bunker Hill. Afterwards, through the influence of Col. Stephen Holland, he became a loyalist. It is related that during the Revolutionary struggle, a British officer came secretly from Boston to spy out the land. He was enter- tained by Reid, and kept in concealment as much as possible. He was discovered ; Robert Clendenin, of Derry, a brother-in- law of Mr. Reid, went to him in great trouble, and warned him to send the spy away, as he would certainly be arrested if it be- came generally known. Reid denied that the man was a spy. However, the warning had the desired effect, for the spy with his horse disappeared suddenly, to be seen no more. He m. Martha, dan. of John Humphrey, of Derry. He sold his farm to Peter Duston, Jan. 10, 1785, and removed to Derryfield, now Manchester, where he died.
*One account says that Matthew, of Windham, was son of Matthew, of Derry, and grandson of Dea. James1; what appears to be trustworthy in- formation makes him the son of Dea James, of Derry, as in this record.

FRANCIS RICHEY'S FAMILY.
" Francis Richey, b. in ye County of Antrim, and town of Ballymanaugh, in ye north of Ireland, who died July 12, 1777, æ. 61 years." Such is the inscription upon the grave-stone of one whose life was shrouded in mystery, and in regard to whom wild stories were told, and strange things surmised, more than a cen- tury ago. He lived with his sisters, Mrs. - Hamilton and Widow Thompson, at what is now the Samuel Bailey place, near the cemetery. The probability is, that he and Thomas Richey were sons of Alexander1, first mentioned, and that the children mentioned upon the records were by a later marriage, so I have designated them as such. He was a sea-faring man, and brought home quantities of gold to his sisters, and "new notes of the Bank of England." He brought silks and satins, and jewels and diamonds, which dazzled the eyes of the humble

worshippers in the church on the hill. Many furtive glances were cast at the dark-eyed sailor, many wished to know the story of his strange life, and Moll Pitcher, the famous fortune-teller, used to excite the imaginations of the last generation by telling them the place where he had buried his treasures; to obtain them one must go alone, and at the dread hour of midnight, to dig for them. The spot can still be pointed out where one credulous woman obeyed the order, and dug in the earth at midnight, till she dared stay no longer ; and she believed to her dying day, that had she had the courage, she could have found the gold. His money educated his niece, the accomplished and beautiful Margaret Hamilton (see page 145). But whatever was the story of his life, it was not revealed, and its secret died with him. If his treasures he buried like Captain Kidd's, so, like Captian Kidd's treasures, they were never found. In the northern part of the " cemetery on the hill," in a grave over which is placed a wide stone, after the English fashion, the sailor rests till all mysteries are unfolded to our view, in the great awakening light of the final day.
