The genealogy of the Kimball Family (published in 1897) gives the pa- ternal ancestry of this group of the name.
Richard1 Kimball was of the parish of Rattlesden, County of Suffolk, England, as is shown by the following entry on the parish register. " Hen- ry Kemball ye sonne of Richard and Vrsula his wife, baptized 1615. 12. August." Ursula was the daughter of Henry Scott of Rattlesden, as ap- pears by his bequests to her children. Henry Kimball, by the printed record in the genealogy, was the second child of his parents. Richard Kimball was probably born about or earlier than 1590. He embarked at Ipswich, Co. Suffolk, England, with wife Ursula and eight children, in the ship Elizabeth, April 10, 1634; landed at Boston, thence went to Water- town [Middlesex Co.], Mass., and settled in that part of the town which later became a part of Cambridge. The compiler of the genealogy locates his home lot of six acres " near what is now the corner of Huron Avenue and Appleton Street." About 1635 he was invited to remove to Ipswich [Essex Co.], Mass., where he spent the remainder of his days. He mar- ried 2d, October 23, 1661, Margaret, widow of Henry Dow of Hampton, N. H. He died June 22, 1675. 11 children, 6 sons ; the 3d son, 7th child, was

Corporal Richard3 Kimball (John,2 Richard1), born Ipswich [Essex Co.], Mass., Sept. 22, 1665; died Ipswich, May 26, 1715 ; married, Feb. 13, 1688, Lydia Wells of Ipswich, the mother of his children ; married, 2d, Aug. 30, 1705, Sarah White, who died Feb. 22, 1725. 7 children, 3 sons ; the eldest son, 2d child, was
Richard4 Kimball (Richard,3 John,2 Richard1), born Ipswich [Essex Co. ], Mass., Aug. 17, 1691, died , 1760 ; married Feb. 11, 1716, Sarah, daughter of Andrew and Mary [Conant] Burley, born Oct. 6, 1698. About 1735 removed to Norwich [New London Co.] and later to Windham [Windham Co.], Conn. 11 children, 5 sons ; the eldest son, 4th child, was Richard5 Kimball ( Richard,4 Richard,3 John,2 Richard1), born Norwich [New London Co.], Conn., May 8, 1725; died Lebanon, Grafton Co., N. H., Ang. 2, 1810, [gravestone ] ; married Nov. 7, 1750, Abigail Hunting- ton. He resided in Windham [Windham Co.], Conn. The Huntington Genealogical Memorial, published in 1863, gives the list of their children under the statement " this family were all born in Windham, Scotland So- ciety," and of the wife and mother the record reads " Abigail, born June 27, 1727. She married Nov. 7, 1750, Richard Kimball, Jr., of Scotland." Samuel, the brother of this Abigail, born -, 1731, died 1796, " was one of Connecticut's most distinguished sons. Sent to the General Assem- bly in 1764, to its upper branch in 1773, Judge of Superior Court, 1774, delegate to Congress, 1775, signer of the declaration of July 4, 1776, presi-

They were son and daughter of Nathaniel3 Huntington, born Norwich, 1691; died Windham, 1767; son of Joseph,2 born Norwich, 1661, died Windham, 1747 ; who was son of Deacon Simon1 (brother of the William who was ancestor to the Jeremiah Huntington who died Lebanon, N. H., June 8, 1794), born England, died Norwich 1706. (For the parentage of these brothers see statement following the epitaph of Jeremiah of Lebanon, N. H.). Children of Richard and Abigail (Hunt- ington) Kimball, born Windham, Conn. :
i. Mary,6 b. Nov. 10, 1752 ; m. Aaron Mosher of Rochester.
ii. Elijah, b. Sept. 19, 1754.
iii. Eunice, b. Nov. 30, 1756 ; m. Henry Hebard.
iv. Jesse, b. Feb. 5, 1759 ; [d. July 8, 1830, gravestone age 71 years.]
v. Abigail, b. Sept. 27, 1761; [d. Lebanon, N. H., Dec. 20, 1843, gravestone. ]

viii. Richard, b. July 16, 1768.
ix. Ebenezer, b. June 24, 1771 ; [d. Lebanon, N. H., May -, 1854, aged 83, gravestone.]
The compiler of the Kimball genealogy copied this list, adding the in- formation that Elijah lived in Windham, Conn. ; that Jesse died Lebanon, N. H., 1832 ; that Eunice married Henry Hubbard, and that Richard went to Lebanon, N. H. Both Hebards and Hubbards are buried in the Old Pine Cemetery, but as the Hubbard genealogy has no Henry of record as marrying a Eunice Kimball, the earlier gencalogy doubtless gave the true surname.
Richard6 Kimball (Richard,5 Richard,4 Richard,8 John,2 Richard1), born Windham [Windham Co.], Conn., July 16, 1768 ; died Lebanon [Grafton Co.], N. H., Feb. 12, 1860; married - 1795, Mary, daughter of Joel Marsh. They resided at Windham, and at other places, living for many years at West Lebanon, N. H. The Historical Magazine (pub. New York), vol. iv., p. 127, says of him, " Capt. Kimball was distinguished for his hospitality and for the interest he took in educational and benevolent enterprises. His fondness for home and agricultural pursuits were attested by his residence of more than fifty years upon his farm on the Connecticut river, which in point of culture and beauty was unsurpassed in that beauti- ful valley. *
* He was identified with all the early internal im- provements in New England. When De Witt Clinton commenced the construction of the Erie and Champlain canals * * * he was referred to him as the man who had been practically engaged in constructing the Middlesex [from Boston to Lowell], the first canal in this country. * * * For many years Gov. Clinton consulted him in all matters of practical dif- ficulty in relation to the canals." Children :

His wife accompanied him to Lisbon, while he resided there as charge d'affairs to Portugal 1851-1855.

For the compilation of the records of the descendants of Richard and Abigail (Huntington) Kimball, who were of the New Hampshire branch, the compiler has relied mainly on the Kimball Family publication of 1897. But from no work that he has consulted, nor from any information obtained in the vicinity of the ancient cemetery, did he gain any knowledge of two daughters of Richard and Mary ( Marsh) Kimball. Until this work shall be printed there will probably be no record that Eunice H. and Mary Kimball, of the seventh generation, ever lived and died in Lebanon, other than the inscriptions on their gravestones.

Elisha Lathrop, died July 2, 1787, aged 73 years.
Hannah his wife, died Jan. 16, 1807, aged 81 years.
The Lathrop genealogy gives his line to the great-grandfather of the Rev. John Lothrop, immigrant to New England.
John Lowthorp, great-grandfather of the English emigrant from old to New England, was living early in the 16th century in Cherry Burton, a parish about four miles from Lowthorp Wapentake [a division or district ] of Dickering, East Riding [one of the three *
jurisdictions * * into which the County of York is divided], of Yorkshire. His name appears on an assessment roll of 1545. He left a son, Robert, and three daughters.
Robert, succeeded to the estates of his father in Cherry Burton. He married Ellen -, who survived him fourteen years and left a will which supplies the names of her descendants ; among them her eldest son
Thomas, born Cherry Burton ; married 1st, Elizabeth (widow ) Clark, who was buried in Etton, July 29, 1574 ; married 2d, Mary - -, who was buried in Etton, Jan. 6, 1588; and 3d, Jane -, who, after his death, became the wife of - Coppendale. He removed to Etton, Harthill Wapentake, East Riding, Yorkshire, about 1576, and died there in 1606. His will, dated Oct. 5, 1606, was probated the following January. He left 22 children, 11 sons ; the 5th son, 12th child, was
John1 Lothrop, baptized Etton, Yorkshire, England, Dec. 20, 1584; graduate Cambridge 1609 ; curate of the parish church of Egerton, Co. Kent, 1611-1623 ; a dissenting minister to a small congregation in London, 1624- 1632; arrested, with over forty of his congregation, by order of Church and State authorities, Apr. 22, 1632. Some two years later all but Mr. Lathrop were released on bail. During his imprisonment his wife was taken sick, and "he procured liberty of the bishop to visit her before her death." Soon after his return to prison he was released, and ordered to procure bail. The court proceedings gave the opportunity of escape. Governor Win- throp's Journal, under date of Sept. 18, 1634, records : " The Griffin and another Ship now arriving with about 200 passengers ; Mr. Lothrop and Mr. Sims, two godly ministers, coming in the same ship." Some of his London congregation came with him or had preceded him, and in the fol- lowing January formed a church at Scituate [Plymouth Co.], Mass. In 1639 he removed to Barnstable [Barnstable Co.], Mass., and founded another church. Ile had married a second wife before June 14, 1635, when she joined the church of which he was minister. Probate proceed- ings show that she survived him. 12 children are of record, 7 sons ; the 3d son, 6th child, was
Samuel2 Lothrop (John1), born England; came with his father to Scitu- ate and Brewster, Mass .; married Brewster, Nov. 28, 1644, Elizabeth Scudder, reported by Savage as a sister of that John Scudder who was of Barnstable in 1640.

The Porter and Storrs genealogies give the pedigree of all born to those names whose epitaphs were found.
