Mr. Sisson is a republican in politics, but has uniformly de- clined to be a candidate for office, and devoted his attention to the increase of his estate by the mixed husbandry which he has found congenial and profitable. His experience as tenant for his father, with whom closeness in dealing was a principle, has tended to make him considerate as he is of his own tenants' rights. John Sisson, his father, made honesty the first virtue, and said on his death-bed he had no recollection of having wronged any man. Mr. Sisson is one of the most exemplary and useful members of the Methodist Episcopal church of Little Compton, and has for many years filled the office of class leader. He is a member of Seaconnet Lodge, No. 39, I. O. O. F., of Little Compton, and its present chaplain. He has also been high priest of the encampment. He was noble grand, by virtue of which he became a member of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island.

HISTORY OF NEWPORT COUNTY.
ALBERT SEABURY .- Robert Seabury, the father of Albert Seabury, was born July 13th, 1789, married January 3d, 1813, Caroline Woodman, whose birth occurred September 27th, 1789. Their children were: Oliver Perry, born 1814, deceased; Alex- ander, 1815, deceased; Frederick, 1817, deceased; Caroline, 1819, deceased; Alexander 2d, 1822, deceased; Warren, 1826; Al- bert; Harriet C., 1831, deceased ; and an infant daughter. Albert Seabury was born July 8th, 1829, in Tiverton, and spent his early years as an assistant to his father on his farm. The winter months were partially devoted to the sessions of the dis- trict school where the simple primary studies were tanght, but work was more especially the order of the day. Ou his mar- riage he received an interest in the income of the farm, largely the result of his industry. In 1872 he purchased the farm which is the present home of his widow and until his death was en- gaged in general farming.
Mr. Seabury was married on the 8th of September, 1852, to Emeline F., daughter of John E. Almy, of Little Compton, born February 3d, 1835. Their children are: Charles A., born Jan- uary 16th, 1854; Harriet E., October 23d, 1856; Benjamin C., May 18th, 1861; John E., November 25th, 1864; William H., January 30th, 1867; Flora L., January 9th, 1869; Lester, March 16th, 1870; Emma F., November 5th, 1874, and Cora B. E., September 22d, 1878. Mr. Seabury allowed nothing to divert. him from his legitimate business, that of farmer. lle was iu- dnstrions, persevering and successful, enjoying the reputation of being an excellent manager. His death, the result of an as- sault, occurred December 2d, 1882.
GEORGE ARNOLD GRAY .- Edward Gray, of Plymouth, mar- ried Mary, danghter of John Winslow, a brother of Governor Edward Winslow. His second wife was Dorothy Lettice, whose son, Edward', was born January 31st. 1666. The line of descent from the latter is as follows: Philips, born February 11th, 1702; Pardon', April 20th, 1737; Job6, May 14th, 1756; Willarde, July 27th, 1798; George Arnold', May 19th, 1828.
Colonel Pardon Gray, the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was entrusted with the care of the commissary de- partment during the revolutionary war, and is referred to in the history of Tiverton. Willard Gray, the father of George A., died in 1874. He married Judith Wilbour, of Little Compton, and had two children, a son George 1., and a daughter, Abby

Catherine, wife of Alexander Wilbour, of the same township.
George A. Gray was born on the farm in Little Compton, which is his present residence, and to which some historic in- terest attaches as the home of the first white woman born in New England. On this estate Mr. Gray has spent his life, having been bred a farmer. The public school afforded the only op- portunity for an elementary training, after which his father claimed his time and services. At the age of thirty he took upon himself the management of the property, and subsequently, to- gether with his sister, inherited the estate. The interest of the Iatter he purchased, and thus became sole owner. He has since been engaged in general farming, and at times giving special at- tention to grape culture and the raising of poultry. Mr. Gray's private business and personal tastes have precluded an active political life. A staunch republican, he is interested in the questions of the day, but content that others shall enjoy the honors of office, which for him possess no charms. As a citizen he is public spirited and liberal in his views, as a business man enterprising and sound in judgment.
Mr. Gray, on the 26th of December, 1859, married Elizabeth H. Howland® (Charles Hº., William', Thomas", Thomas', James', Nathaniel8, Zoetha, Henry1), of Little Compton. Their only child is a daughter, Lizzie Amelia.
EDWARD WING HOWLAND. - The progenitor of the Howland family, resident in Little Compton, was Henry Howland', or Howlan, as then spelled, who, in the year 1659, was disfran- chised by the court of Plymouth for entertaining Qnakers. His son, Zoeth', was married to Abagail - - in 1656, and the fol- lowing year took the oath of "Fidelitie." The same year he was fined for having a Qnaker meeting at his house, and the year after was sentenced to "Sitt in the Stocks for the space of an houre" for speaking opprobriously of the Puritan clergy. He was killed by the Indians at Pocasset in 1676. In the direct line of descent is Nathaniels, chosen Friends' minister of the town of Dartmouth in 1723, James', Thomas®, Thomas®, Wil- liam' and John B8.
The last named and the father of the subject of this sketch was born in 1804, and died in his sixty-eighth year. Ile mar- ried Lydia Wing Hix, of Tiverton, and had three sons, of whom Edward Wing is the only survivor. He was born May 26th, 1833, in Little Compton, on one of the several farmis owned by

him. After a mastery of the rudiments of English at the pub- lie schools, he became associated with his father in the manage- ment of the farm, their specialty being market gardening. This he has since continued, and at the death of his father became sole owner of the property.
Mr. Howland has, in all his business ventures, been eminently successful, the result of a conservative method which leads him to weigh carefully a subject, and defer to his judgment rather than be guided by impulse. He is public-spirited and enter- prising, and ready with counsel and material aid to advance all worthy and philanthropic schemes, and all deserving recip- ients of his kindness. Mr. Howland is a democrat in his polit- ical faith, but has neither sought nor desired office. He is the projector of the proposed Seconnet railroad, and the leading spirit in a project which has the support and co-operation of many leading citizens. The characteristics of head and heart peculiar to the early Howlands have been transmitted, and the incidents already alluded to in repelling encroachments, by law, upon what they deem to be matters of personal import, find their counterpart in the experiences of the subject of this sketch.
Mr. Howland was, July 17th, 1879, married to Lydia, dangh- ter of Isaac T. Hathaway, and widow of Ellery Remington. Mr. Howland adheres to the religions faith of his ancestors, and reg- ularly attends the Friends meeting. The natural aversion of the Friends to anything akin to display is fully developed in Mr. Howland, yet, yielding to the public interest in him as a representative man, he has allowed the publishers to insert the accompanying engraving in the history of his native township.
PHILIP W. ALMY .-- William Almy, the progenitor of the Almy family in America, emigrated from England. His son, Job, born in 1640, died in 1684. A second Job, son of the former, was the father of John, the great-grandfather of Philip W. His son, Sanford, born August 28th, 1759, was married March 15th, 1763, to Lydia Gray. Their children were four- teen in number, of whom Sanford, the father of Philip W., was born September 20th, 1788, in Little Compton, and married Lydia B., daughter of John Brown. She was born March 15th, 1797. Their children are: Andrew J., deceased; Mary B., de- ceased, married to Theodore Lawton, and Philip W.
The last named and only surviving son was born April 17th, 1823, in Little Compton, the home of many representatives of

the family who are among its foremost citizens. His early ex- periences were not unlike those of most of the youth of the day, the farm engrossing his attention during the summer months, while the rudimentary branches were mastered in winter at the neighboring school. His father claimed his ser- vices for a period, after which the farm was managed in his own interest. The death of Sanford Almy occurred on the 6th of February, 1881, in his ninety-third year, after which his son, as the only surviving child, inherited the estate. He was married on the 1st of January, 1868, to Mary C., daughter of Pardon Almy. Their children are a danghter, Mary Lois, and a son, Philip W., Jr. Mr. Almy has given his allegiance to the demo- cratic party, but has not permitted the fascinations of political life to divert him from his legitimate pursuits. He has avoided office, for which he has noinclination, the only exception being his service as a member of the town council. He worships with and aids in the support of the Congregational church at Little Compton.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
The following paragraphs, numbered 100 to 172, and the per- sonal paragraphs of Tiverton, are referred to by corresponding numbers in parentheses. Where reference from one of the par- agraphs to another would elucidate the text or avoid repetition, the same method of reference has been employed. In giving the lines of the descent the usual plan of genealogical outline has been followed. Thus: 173 .- William Youngs®, born 1816; John', died 1820; Calebs, born 1750; Nathaniel', born 1622; James1, 1600-42, indicates that the William Youngs mentioned is the son of John, the grandson of Caleb, great-grandson of Nathaniel, and great-great-grandson of James Youngs; that William was born in 1816, that John died in 1820, that Caleb was born in 1750 and Nathaniel in 1622, and that James of the first generation known was born in 1600 and died in 1642.
100 .- Alderman, the Indian who killed King Philip (75), is represented by Hubbard as being a Seconnet Indian. The dis- similarity of spelling makes it unsafe to say that there is any record of his having lived here.
101 .- Allen .- This family name is borne by only two res- idents of Little Compton, Joseph D. and Mary Allen, children of William F. and grandchildren of William Allen, who came
