ROSE.
ABRAHAM ROSE, was born in Scituate, Mass., whence at an early age he removed to Sandwich, Mass. He was born in 1759, and came to Lyndeborough in 1787. Although a young man when he came, his life had been an eventful one. At the commencement of the Revolutionary War, when only seventeen years of age, he enlisted for three months, and at the close of his term of service re-enlisted for the war, serving seven and one-half years with the Continental Army. He endured the suffer- ings of the winter at Valley Forge and witnessed the final triumph at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. After the close of the war he shipped before the mast and was a sailor for three years. Tiring of the hardships and perils which were the lot of the seamen of those days, and desirous of a more quiet life, he settled on a farm, on what has since been named for him, "Rose mountain." It is said there were buildings on the land he bought, but who the former owners were is uncertain. He was tall and straight, and even at the advanced age of ninety-two years maintained an erect military carriage, the result of long years of army drill. He was positive in his opinions, blunt and direct in speech, and when he had anything to say it was expressed in no uncertain terms.

HISTORY OF LYNDEBOROUGH
Rev. Mr. Claggett says of him in an obituary notice published in the "Farmer's Cabinet." "The character of this remarkable man exhibited traits worthy of remark. His patriotism was firm and abiding. The 'Spirit of '76' was never eradicated. With the honor of his country he felt himself identified, and in her welfare he felt a deep interest. Like other people of great age, he remembered best the history of his early life, especially the hardships, the perils and the battles of the Revolution, and was never tired of recounting them to others with the readiness and enthusiasm of an eye witness. He was obliging as a neighbor, and more correct in his habits than would have been expected of one who had passed so much of his early life in the camp and forecastle. For several years he enjoyed the benefit of a pension, and during his days of help- lessness and infirmity received the filial attention of his only son, with whom he lived."
He married Deziah Fish of Sandwich, Mass. She was born July, 1758, and died Nov. 18, 1854. They were married before coming to Lyndebor- ough. He died Dec. 16, 1851. Seven children were born to them while residing on the mountain farm. Before his death he removed to the farm formerly owned by Solomon Cram, then owned by his son Brackley, now owned by his great-grandson, Willard Rose. ( For his military rec- ord see Chap. VII.)

SENTER.
Benjamin Senter was the pioneer of the Senter family to settle in Lyndeborough. He built a house situated about twenty rods south of the road from John H. Goodrich's to the schoolhouse in Dist. No. 4. It was here that most of his children were born, but he afterward lived in a house that stood between the Bailey place and the old Starrett house, North Lyndeborough.
