FISKE.
EBENEZER FISKE was the son of Benjamin and Lydia (Hobbs) Fiske. He came to Lyndeborough from Danvers, Mass., in 1835. The farm that he bought and settled on was the land that the Rev. Sewall Goodrich chose as part of his settlement and known thereafter as the Goodrich place. It lies north of Badger Pond, and is now owned by William C. Wilder. Mr. Fiske was much respected for his strict integ- rity of character. While taking great interest in the affairs of the town, and always fulfilling the duties of citizenship, he never aspired to public office, and gave his whole time to his business of farming. He was a de- voted member of and a constant attendant at the Congregational church. Failing health compelled him to relinquish the active work of the farm,

age entered Dartmouth, from which he was graduated in 1764. On com- ing to Lyndeborough he commenced to teach school and followed that vocation until 70 years of age. He was evidently a man of varied ac- complishments, for as a surveyor he ran many of the first lines through the virgin forest of the then sparsely settled town. In the controversies of the times he was much consulted for his knowledge of the law. He was a devout member of the Congregational Church and while not an ordained minister, he often supplied the pulpit and preached acceptably to the people. He was of slight physique and never weighed more than ninety pounds. He wore knee buckles.until the last, and long after they were out of fashion. He was town clerk and held other office and was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army. (See Chapter VII.) He married first, Mary Putnam, who was born March 13, 1748; died Nov. 18, 1777; second, Hannah Smith, who was born Aug. 1, 1749; died Sept. 5, 1824. He died in 1831.

GOODRICH .*
William Goodrich of Bury St. Edmonds, County of Suffolk, England, was the immigrant ancestor of the Goodrich family of Lyndeborough. He came to America in 1636 and settled in Watertown, Mass. He was admit- ted " freeman " in 1642. His homestead of five acres was in or near what is now Mount Auburn cemetery. The inventory of his estate is dated April 3, 1647. His widow, Margaret, married John Hull of New-
*In the old records of Lyndeborough, both town and church, this name is spelled Goodridge. In the preceding chapters of this history the old fashioned way of spelling the name was retained so far as it related to the Rev. Sewall. It was probably about the time of Dea. Benjamin that the spelling was changed to Goodrich. For convenience the modern spelling of the name is used in this genealogy.

REV. SEWALL GOODRICH, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Phelps) Goodrich; born in Lunenburg, Mass., July 7, 1747; m. Feb. 7, 1769, Phebe Putnam of Danvers, Mass. She was born Nov. 26, 1752 ; died June 23, 1832. He died March 14, 1809. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1764. Dec. 24, 1767, the inhabitants of Lyndeborough voted to give him a call to settle in town in the work of the ministry. The proprietors of the township had previously voted the sum of £33, 6s, 8d., annnally for a term of five years to encourage a minister to settle there, and in addition made a grant of two hundred acres of land to such person his heirs and assigns forever.
At the meeting, Dec. 24, 1767, it was voted to Mr. Sewall Goodrich for his encouragement to settle in town in the work of the ministry the sum of fifty pounds, sterling money of Great Britain, twenty-five pounds to be paid within one year from his settlement, the other twenty-five pounds within two years from his settlement. It would seem that they recon- sidered this offer and made him another as follows : -
"Voted to Mr. Sewall Goodrich forty Pounds sterling money of great Britain yearly for his support in the work of the Gospel ministry in this town until there shall be Seventy families in the town and after that forty five Pounds yearly until there shall be one hundred families in town, afterward fifty Pounds annually said money to be paid in the money as aforesaid or Province currency as equivalent."
" They voted Jonathan Cram Ephraim Putnam and Benjamin Cram a committee to present their call." Mr. Goodrich accepted this call on condition that he should be allowed to choose the two hundred acres which the "proprietors " had granted, and should have the sum of about one hundred and twenty-eight dollars as as an addition to his settlement. The proprietors complied with his proposal and he selected the place north of Badger Pond now owned by William C. Wilder. He was or- dained Sept. 7, 1768, and commenced the work of his ministry. He was married the following year, and the bringing of his wife to town was evi- dently an interesting event for his people. They came in a two-wheeled chaise, a vehicle that had hardly been seen in town at that early period. The roads were very rough and Mr. Jacob Wellman was decidedly of the opinion that they would not be able to come through with the carriage,

HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
or at least that the lady would not have the courage to ride in it. It is said that he saddled and pillioned his horse, hoping, no doubt, that he would have the honor of bringing the bride himself. But it was finally decided that the minister and his wife should both keep their seats while six strong men followed behind to keep the chaise right side up. Mr. Goodrich was then twenty-five years of age and his bride seventeen.
In these days of one sermon a Sunday of a half or three-quarter hour length, it is interesting to reflect upon what this young man had to do. He must prepare two sermons for each Sunday and deliver them in a church where there was no fire in winter, and each sermon was from one and one-half to two hours long. It required courage and devotion to duty to do it, and it must be said that it aslo took courage, devotion and strong constitutions to sit through those long sermons in a cold house in winter. The minister had a little advantage - he could warm up to his theme.
In addition to these duties he was a prominent and successful business man, long one of the proprietors of the town, and probably wrote and witnessed more deeds than any other man in town since his day. It was his custom to commence the Sabbath at sundown on Saturday night. All labor and business must be stopped as far as possible. Mrs. Good- rich was a busy, thrifty housewife, and had a task appointed for each of her household. There were no drones in that hive during the long sum- mer days. The busy wheels were kept flying by each girl who was old enough to turn them, spinning the wool and flax for the family use. But at sundown Saturday the command was given and all work ceased. He continued to be the pastor of the church until his connection was dis- solved by death, a pastorate of forty-one years. His death occurred town meeting day, and Dea. Peter Clark announced the news of his death. The meeting voted unanimously to assist the bereaved family at the funeral, to invite all the ministers of the vicinity to attend, and to pro- vide for their entertainment and to pay all funeral charges. The com- mittee was Nathan Wheeler, Capt. Peter Clark, Dr. Benjamin Jones, Jacob Richardson, Dea. Aaron Lewis, Peter Clark, 2nd, and Samuel Houston. Among those charges was a bill for ten gallons of genuine West India rum. That was the custom of that day. Children : -
