Near the close of the last century the last Lord Dacre bearing the name of Lennard died, and it is supposed that the late Judge George Lenerd could have claimed the title, but the judge said "He preferred to be lord of acres in America rather than Lord Dacre in Eng- land."
All the foregoing is recorded and part of the History of "Old Taunton."
The third and fourth editions, "Americans of Royal Descent" have "Leonard" pedigree. Leonard belongs to the class of names that originated from the Christian name. The signification is Lion-hearted, from Leo, or Leon and ard. It seems strange that those who attained the honors of knighthood did not adopt a Lion's head for their crest instead of a tiger's!

Captain William (6) Thayer, Lieutenant William (5), William (4), William (3), Shadrack (2), Thomas (1), 1764-1830. After the revolutionary war he purchased a thou- sand-acre estate in Springfield, Vermont, which remained in the family until 1908. "In the spring of 1788 he with his wife removed
to their new home; he driving a pair of oxen hitched to a two-wheeled cart, which held their household goods, the wife riding a small horse and carrying their valuables. For seven years they lived in a log house, while the new one was building, which was a fine large mansion, and which is standing today, perfect in every respect. The nails were handmade; the trees were felled, the timbers and material for the entire structure prepared by men employed for the purpose, in the same primitive manner - the shingles were made from the hearts of old pine trees, and lasted for seventy years. He hired the best masons and carpenters at fifty cents per day (or less), and in summer they worked eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. (The night before they left the old house one log rolled out and one rolled in). He was for many years justice of the peace, selectman, captain of militia com- pany, surveyor, and surveyed most of the land in the state of Vermont. The needle of his compass, that is over one hundred and fifty years old, still points to the North pole. His revolutionary war service began in Taunton at the age of sixteen years in Captain Jacobs Hoskins' company, Colonel Isaac Dean's regi- ment.
He married, January 1, 1789, Susannah (7), 1769-1833, daughter of Elkanah (6) Lincoln, and wife Susannah (4) Torrey, of Norton, Massachusetts. Their children were: Hon.

Elkanah (5) Lincoln, 1718-1783, married, at Norton, 1744, Lydia Pratt, of Norton. Al- most nothing is known of him, except what is revealed by the records of his real estate transactions. There are indications that he received a better education than his father. In early life called yeoman, after 1777 he was styled "Gentleman." He was the first in his ancestral fine to take that title, and it indi- cates quite an advance in public and social life.

"Captain John Andrews was from Wales. Immigration 1663."
Thomas (3) Lincoln, born 1656, Taunton. He accumulated considerable property of his own. In one respect he made a distinct ad- vance over his ancestors, for while he signed his name by a rude S, yet his children received an education. He made no will, instead con- veyed his property to his children before his death. Married Mary Stacey, of Taunton, daughter of Richard and Abigail Stacey. Their
234

children were: Thomas, born 1680; Benjamin, born 1681; Nathaniel, born 1684; Jonathan, born 1687, married Hannah Andrews; Will- iam, born 1689; Lydia; Hannah, born 1692; Constant, born 1696.
Thomas (2) Lincoln, born in England, 1628. Came to Hingham, Massachusetts, with his father in 1636. He settled in Taunton in 1649, died there in 1695, and was granted a home lot. In 1675, at the breaking out of King Philip's war, he was one of ninety heads of families. In 1687-88, being then senior, he gave five acres of land toward Taunton's first minister, Samuel Danforth. In 1689 when money was raised for the expedition under Colonel Benjamin Church he contributed ten shillings, and during King William's war when money was raised for the expedition to Can- ada in 1690, he gave two pounds. In 1695 when the Chartley Iron Works were organized and one hundred acres of land was given to it from the North Purchase he was one of those who signed the deed. Member of the Military Company of Taunton in 1682. A large land owner, for in addition to his own rights under the original purchases he also inherited from his father considerable land. In 1658 declared a freeman; in 1677 elected surveyor to set off the common lands. In 1669, 1672, 1677, he with others purchased from King Philip all the land included in the ancient town of Taunton, from which several towns were later carved (except a purchase called the Titicut Purchase). He married, in 1651, Mary Austin, daughter of Jonah (I) Austin Sr. In 1694, instead of making a will he divided his property among his children, only reserving the right to sell a portion for his support. Names of children : Mary, born 1652; Sarah, born 1654; Thomas, born 1656, married Mary Austin ; Samuel, born 1658; Sarah, born 1660; Hannah, born 1663; Mercy, born 1665; Jonah ; Experience, born 1693.
"Jonah ( 1) Austin was one of the pur- chasers of the 'Taunton North Purchase' of King Philip in 1668."
Between the years 1635 and 1640 eight men by the name of Lincoln came to Hingham, Massachusetts, from or near Hingham, Eng- land. Four of these were named Thomas, des- ignated by their occupation as the weaver, the husbandman, the cooper and the miller. Three of the eight men were brothers, Sam- uel, Daniel and Thomas. Immigration 1635.
Thomas (1) Lincoln, born 1603, came to
Hingham, Massachusetts, from Hingham, Norfolk county, England ; on the 3d of July, 1636, was granted house lots of five acres of land. He was called "Thomas the Miller" to distinguish him from three others by the same name. In 1649 he removed to Taunton ; "the town voted him accommodations." He be- came a large landholder, and died in 1684. The inventory of his estate was two hundred and five pounds and eight shillings. A member of the first train band in 1649.
Iron had been discovered on "Two-Mile River," and other locations in Taunton, and the enterprising Pilgrim settlers considered the field open for the establishment of a "bloomerie." A company was organized in 1653-54, and the name of Thomas Linkon Sr., is among the subscribers. (From "History of Taunton, Mass." by Samuel Emery Hopkins, D. D.). He was one of "ye associates" of the "South Purchase," a tract four miles square, for which King Philip was paid two hundred and seventy-three pounds. At the time of King Philip's war in 1675 he was reckoned the richest of ninety-six heads of families. A man of no education, could not write his own name, and signed all instruments by mark. Married (first) 1627, in England, name of wife unknown. His first three children were born in England, the others in Hingham. Names of children : Thomas, born 1628, mar- ried Mary Austin : John ; Samuel, born 1636; Mary, born 1642; Sarah, born 1645. He mar- ried (second) in 1665, Elizabeth Street, of Taunton, by whom he had no children.
When he first came to Hingham he was called Junior, his father's name must have been Thomas, and he the eldest son.
The name of Lincoln appears frequently on the records of the sixteenth century in and about Hingham, in the county of Norfolk, and there are many records of baptisms in St. Andrews Church in Hingham with Chris- tian names similar to the names of the Lin- colns in this country.
"Fairbain in his 'Crestes of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland,' vol. II, plate 67, No. 5." gives the Crest of "Lincolne" as a Loan Rampant, standing on a wreath facing the left.
Between the years 1635 and 1640 the eight first men in the colony by the name of Lin- coln came to Hingham, Massachusetts, from or near Hingham, England. Three of the eight were brothers, and the other five closely

related. From Samuel, the weaver, is de- scended Abraham Lincoln, the president (Lin- coln Family Association ).
Origin of the Name.
The "Lincolns" have the satisfaction of having a name descended from very ancient times in Britain. When the Romans conquered North Britain about the year A. D. 86 they founded at what is now the city of Lincoln, not a castra or camp, but a colony, naming it Lindum Colonia. The location was a very ancient one, there having been a settlement of the old Britains at this place long before the coming of the Romans. From the abbre- viation of the two words-Lindum and Colo- nia, or Lin-coln-we derive our name of "Lin- coln."
The name "Lincoln" is a hybrid of Celtic and Latin. It appears in some very old rec- ords as Lindum Colonia and Lindocolina. The "Lindum" is purely Saxon, and exactly de- scribes the early British settlement as "the hill part of the pool."
The name Nicol, Nicole is Norman-French for Lincoln. "In modern history times the earli- est record of the Lincolns show them to have been people of wealth and station; the name of Wigod de Lincoln appears as a witness to the charter of Edward the Confessor, in 1060. Alured de Lincoln, who came over with Will- iam the Conquerer, held a great barony in Lincoln and Bedford in 1086." "The Dooms- day Book," 1086, mentions several men of the same name, more especially Alfred de Lin- coln, who, being a Saxon by birth, could not hold lands until after his marriage with a Nor - man lady.
The Lincoln Impe.
In Lincoln Cathedral, in what is known as the Angel Choir, so called from the numerous figures of angels among the carving, there are at the spandrils of the arches to the windows in the clear story, numerous carvings, among them this grotesque figure.
Memorial to the President.
In the year 1909, the centennial of the birth of President Abraham Lincoln, it was pro- posed to place in old St. Andrews, Hingham, a memorial to him and his ancestors, for it was in this church that Samuel Lincoln was baptized August 23, 1622, the son of Edward Lincoln, who did not come to this country. "The Lincoln Family Association" responded most generously.
(The Marsh Line).
Charles (6) Pierce Marsh, Joseph (5), Moses (4), Moses (3), John (2), Alexander (I) Marsh, born 1820, Rockingham, Vermont, married, July 5, 1842, at Keene, New Hamp- shire, Celina (7) Thayer, daughter of Cyrus (6) Locke, Ebenezer (5), Ebenezer (4), Joshua (3), Ebenezer (2), William (1) Locke, and wife, Randilla (7) Thayer, Cap- tain William (6), Lieutenant William (5), William (4), William (3), Shadrack (2), Thomas ( I) Thayer.
By this marriage were joined two distinct "Historical" families, originally of Old Eng- land. Colonially of New England, and, like Browning's "Happy Warrior," marching breast forward to join in the formation of the thirteen original states, and the birth of our American Republic.
After disposing of the "Marsh Homestead" in 1850 he with his mother, wife and two chil- dren removed to Allegany county, New York, and purchased a home in Marshall, where three older brothers (Joseph (6), Orlin (6), Otis (6) ) and one sister, (Pamelia, who mar- ried Benjamin Whipple) had previously lo- cated, having purchased their land from the "Holland Land Company" at a period when the Indians were quiet. (Soon after warfare broke out, and for two years they lived in constant fear of their lives; when a treaty was made to the effect that by paying thirty silver dollars to a certain chief-who desired a necklace-future annoyances would cease. After receiving the silver the Indians left that part of the country and never returned).
Of a versatile disposition he interested himself in different lines of business, agricul- ture, lumbering, surveying and prospecting for coal, principally in Mckean county, Pennsyl- vania. In 1857-58 he took his family with him and located at Howard Hill, now Mt. Jewett, remaining for a few months, when he returned with his family to Allegany county ; the "call of the wild" leading him back each winter to join congenial companions in camp- ing and hunting the wild game, which at that time was abundant ; a noted "shot," he rarely failed in a "good bag;" at one time bringing down two deer with one shot. In May, 1864, he removed with his family to Lamont (Kane), Pennsylvania, where, the following September he opened its first hotel, which was the nucleus of the "Old Thomson House."
Charitable, as well as public-spirited, many
236
ALLEGHENY VALLEY
of the early settlers of the place remember him with thankful hearts. The township being without school funds, he, with William Car- lyle (resident Engineer P. R. R.), organized a select school, engaging Catherine Marsh, of Marshall, New York, as teacher, they paying the greater part of her salary. The school was well attended, as all the little foreign waifs were made welcome.
His wife dying in August, 1864, he sold his hotel interests to a man by the name of Charles Jones, and again returned to Allegany county, where the following year he was one of a company formed to mine for silver and drill for oil in Marshall. The venture was not a financial success.
He married (second) in 1866, Olive, 1840- 1910, daughter of Caryl Holden and wife, Randilla Damon, of Marshall, and sister of Judge Lawson C. Holden, of Saginaw and the "Soo," Michigan, also a cousin of Judge Crittenden Marsh, of Warren county. A few years later he removed to Belfast, same county, where he lived a quiet uneventful life, dying in 1892, loved by his family and kin and respected by his townspeople. By his two wives he had eight daughters: Abbie Louise (7), mentioned below; Harriet (7), born Rockingham, Vermont, married Thomas Henry Ryan, born Limerick, Ireland, resi- dence, Kane, Pennsylvania; Mary (7), born Rockingham, Vermont, died Marshall, New York ; Mary Jane (7), born Marshall, married William Griffith, born Ebensburg, residence Kane; Flora (7), born Marshall, deceased; Myra Alda (7), born Marshall, married L. Hawes Long, born Huntingdon, Pennsyl- vania, residence Chicago and Belfast, New York. Children by second wife: Lucy Hol- den (7), born Marshall; Edna Damon (7), born Marshall.
Abbie Louise (7), daughter by first wife, compiler of the Family History, married Will- iam Calvin Long, born Huntingdon, Pennsyl- vania, journalist, of Chicago, Illinois. Two children survived by this marriage. Suffer- ing from pulmonary trouble, in 1888, she with her daughters took up their residence in Kane, where she remained until 1899, when she ac- cepted the situation as "Instructor of Art" at the State Hospital, Warren, a position she still retains, 1912. Confirmed in 1876 by the Rt. Rev. McLarren S. T. D., Episcopal bishop of Illinois ; member of the Cathedral of S. S. Peter and Paul, Chicago; one of the "Found-
ers" of St. Johns Church, 1889, Kane ; member of "Old Colony" and other Colonial Societies ; member of the "Lincoln" and "Reade" Fam- ily Associations, and a "Daughter of the American Revolution;" Charter member of the General Joseph Warren Chapter, Warren, Pennsylvania.
Her education along scholastic and art lines was principally by private instruction ; and, as much of the formative period of her life was spent in literary and art circles in Chicago, the advantages derived from such congenial asso- ciations were far greater than is received by the average art student. She was also able to gratify her love for travel, which made a de- sirable prelude to her present "Home Mis- sionary" work among the women of an unfor- tunate mental condition.
Her elder daughter, Maude, born Chicago, Illinois, married William Herman Davis, Kane, son of Joshua and wife, Hannah ( How- ells) Davis, of Ebensburg and Kane. Their children : Dorothea (9), Joshua (9).
Her second daughter, Mabell Washington (8), born Chicago, Illinois, married (St. Johns, Kane) Benjamin Howard Patterson, M. D., son of John and Priscilla (Focer ) Pat- terson, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their children : John (9), Louisa (9), Thomas (9).
One tradition in the family is that Francisco de Marisco, who went over with the Con- queror, was the founder. When anglicized the name became Marsh. Marais, the French word for Marsh, is now a common name in France. The supposition is that the family are of French origin, and came from low marshy lands. In ancient Latin deeds the name appears as De Marisco. The medieval form is Ate-Mershi. If the name started as Saxon, March means a boundary, as the marches of Wales, or a landmark. Other forms are Marche and Marisq, and the most familiar derivations are Marshall and Marsh- man. One branch of the family claim royal blood through descent from Alfred the Great.
The Marshes have helped to make history, and the name is honored for its men of char- acter and renown, its heroes and its pioneers. There was the martyr, George Marsh, burned at the stake during Mary's reign. The list of members of the family who have been arch- bishops, bishops and priests is an imposing one. One of the foremost men of letters of his day was Herbert Marsh, bishop of Peter- borough. Francis Marsh was archbishop of
237
PENNSYLVANIA
Dublin in the reign of William III., and Nar- cissus Marsh was archbishop of Armagh.
The Marsh arms: Gules, a horse's head coupled between three crosses bottome, fitchee argent. Crest : Out of a mural crown gules, a horse's head argent, ducally gorged or.
In the New World the Marshes were men of affairs. John Marshe was one of the first set- tlers. Jonathan Marsh, another Pilgrim father, lived in Hartford, of which he was one of the founders. The family was repre- sented in the colonial wars, and those of 1776 and 1812. Nathaniel Marsh had charge of the company which escorted Burgoyne to Cam- bridge after the surrender at Saratoga.
Sylvester Marsh, called "Crazy Marsh," was not so crazy after all. It was he who built the railroad up Mt. Washington. When the legislature granted him a charter willingness was also expressed to give him a charter to the moon if he wished, so impossible a feat was the building of a "Jacob's Ladder" consid- ered.
Joseph Owen (5) Marsh, Moses (4), Moses (3), John (2), Alexander (1), born 1769, Braintree, Massachusetts, died 1846, Rocking- ham, Vermont, was a "gentleman" of landed estate ; educated and provided for his large family as the times permitted. He married, May, 1793, at Rockingham, Vermont, Jonna (8) Pierce, born 1776, at Putney, Vermont, daughter of Ebenezer (7) and wife, Elizabeth (4) Gilson. She had many of the old fash- ioned graces that stamped the gentlewoman of her time ; intelligent and active to the last, and greatly beloved by her descendants, who mourned her passing away in 1872, aged ninety-six years. Their children : Royal, born 1793, unmarried, service in Mexican war, set- tled in Louisiana, sugar and rice plantations, large slaveholder, Union man in 1863, slaves freed by the North and property confiscated by the South; he died a poor man before the close of the civil war; Joseph, born 1795, mar- ried Polly Bailey; Anna, born 1797; Orlin, born 1799, married Fanny Stoddard; Otis, born 1801, married Rossella Holden ; Charles, born 1803; George, born 1805, married Ran- dilla Locke; Horace, born 1807; Betsey, born 1809, married Rossiter Crittenden ; Sally, born 18II, married (first) Thomas Stoddard, who died, married (second) - Wilson; Pa- melia, born 1813, married Benjamin Whipple ; Horace, born 1815, married Julia Ann Studley ; John, born 1817, married Lucy Studley ; Polly,
born 1819, married Elijah Pratt ; Charles, born 1820, married Celina (7) Locke.
The English name of "Peirce" is derived from the word "Peter." When we consider how important has been the position claimed for him we can readily understand the influ- ence that the ecclesiastics of the early days must have had in making it popular.
The Pierce coat-of-arms: Three ravens rising sable : Fesse-hummette. Motto: Dixit et Fecit. (He said and he did). Crest : Dove with olive branch in beak.
Ebenezer (7) Pierce, Anthony (6), John (5), Joseph (4), Joseph (3), Anthony (2), son of John (1). Resided in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, and Putney, Vermont. The history of the Pierce Family says: Ebenezer Pierce was shot by British soldiers just before the battle of Bennington; while another ac- count says he was killed by Tories at Benning- ton. He was one of the Vermont "Minute- Men" and was shot while carrying dispatches. He married, 1763, Elizabeth (4), daughter of Michael (3) Gilson, born 1741, at Groton, Massachusetts. Their children were: Roswell, born 1764, married Elizabeth Morton ; Reuben, born 1766, married his cousin, Arvilla Gilson ; Royal, married Azubula Davenport; Eliza- beth, married Samuel Chadwick; Millicent, married (first) Bunday, (second) - Crosby ; Joanna, 1776, married Joseph (5) Marsh, Rockingham, Vermont.
