On the 29th of April, 1745, the fleet of 100 vessels, all, except the men-of-war, very small, sailed into the harbor of Louisbourg, and under the guns of the fortress they effected a. landing and began a siege which served to illustrate the resources, pluck and determination of the colonists.
On June 16, 1745, the fortress capitulated and, in recognition, William Peperrell was made a Baronet with the title of "Pepper- rell of Massachusetts."

In 1747, he built a frigate and two other vessels for the British Navy. In 1740, having retired from business, he visited England where he was well received by the King, and was presented with a service of plate by the City of London. On the renewal of war with France in 1755, he took the field in command of a regiment. In 1757, he was made a Lieutenant-General of the English Army, and died in Kittery, Maine, July 16, of that year. He married, March 6, 1723, Mary, daughter of Grove Hurst, of Boston. She survived her husband thirty years, dying in 1789. She bore him two children, a son, who died during the lifetime of his father, and a daughter Elizabeth, who married Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk. By her he had four sons, and a daughter, Mary, who married Charles Jarvis, M. D., of Boston. The sons :
I. Nathaniel Sparhawk.
II. William, who assumed the surname Pepperrell, and was created baronet, Oct. 19, 1774.
III. Samuel Sparhawk.
IV. Andrew Sparhawk.
Sir William Pepperrell, the second baronet, married, Nov. 12, 1767, Elizabeth, daughter of Rev. Isaac Royall of His Majesty's council, of Massachusetts Bay, who d. Oct. 8, 1775, by whom he had three girls and a boy.
I. Elizabeth. Married Rev. Henry Hutton, A. M .; she was born April 17, 1769.
II. Mary. Married William Congreve. She was born Nov. 8, 1771.
III. Harriet. Married C. V. Hudson, Esq. She was born Dec. 17, 1773.
IV. William Royal, b. July 5, 1775; d. Sept. 17, 1798.
The first Sir William Pepperrell was acting governor of Mas- . sachusetts, in 1756-8. He lost his only son, Andrew, in 1751, when he was 24 years of age and unmarried. He was a graduate of Harvard.
The second Sir William Pepperrell was born in Kittery, Maine, Nov. 30, 1746, and died in London, England, Dec., 1816. His only son, William, died in 1809, so that the title died with his father.
The Isle of Shoals, off the coast of New Hampshire, consists of eight small piles of rocks. Appledore is the largest. It used to be called Hog Island. Haley's Island, formerly called Smith's

Nose. is bright with wild roses, and fragrant with bay berry. White's Island has a lighthouse which flashes ten golden and five red alternately. Cedar Island is close by, and Star Island, and through it the boundary between Maine and New Hampshire runs. Duek Island, two miles northeast, is given over to the wild sea-fowl.
Once the French wanted these isles, and only a little later Capt. John Smith, of Virginia, claimed them definitely for his own, declaring they were the only estate he desired.
"Smith's Isles," he said, "are as many barren rocks, the most, overgrown with such shrubs and sharp whins that you can hardly pass over them, without grass or wood, except three or four scrubby old cedars."
A monument to Sir Jolm Smith's memory was built on a high point of Star Island. It was a shaft on a base supporting three Turks' heads. In the process of time the heads fell off, one by one, then the shaft fell, and now naught remains but the pedestal of rongh stones to mark the site of the monument.
At one time there were 600 souls on three bleak islands, a court- house and a tavern on Smith's Nose, a meeting house and bowling alley on Appledore, and on one of the little islets a "gentlemen's school" of such repute that families of some of the principal sea- coast towns sent their sons there for literary instruction.
The Isle of Shoals was a way station to England, and Sir Ferdi- nand Gorges once wrote to Governor Winthrop, "I cannot send you news from England, because the contrariety of the winds hath hindered it from coming from the Isle of Shoals." It was a Shoals vessel that brought to the colonists, in 1649, the news of the execu- tion of King Charles.
In 1676, William Pepperrell emigrated from Cornwall, England, to the Isles of Shoals and lived there for twenty years, carrying on a large fishery and ship-building yard. He was the father of Sir William Pepperrell, who has been called the most famous man Maine had ever produced. During the Revolution all the better class of the population abandoned the island for the greater security of the main land.
PENHALLOW.
Sir Walter Scott, in "Kenilworth," says: "The Pol, the Tre, and the Pen, are Cornwall gentlemen."

VIRGINIA FAMILIES
The Penhallow family had a local habitation and the name more than a hundred years before Columbus started on his first voyage to the unknown West. It was known and of some importance in that interesting epoch of English History, the reign of Edward III. From that early day to the present, the name has come down with- out change. For four centuries or more there has been a male heir to its first possessions in Cornwall.
This old Cornwall family had its estates dating back to the middle of the 14th century, reign of Edward III, where we find John Penhallow de Penhallow, Anno 41, Edward III (1368), from whom the emigrant to America was 13th in descent, as recorded, or tenth from Nicholas Penhallow, temp. Henry VI.
"The reign of Edward III (1327-1377) was made glorious by the aspiring genius of the monarch," (to use the words of Hume) "the most triumphant that is met with in English story. There is not a reign among those English monarchs which deserves more to be studied than that of Edward III. Early in his reign was manifested a great interest in learning, as shown by the many stu- dents in the universities, there being, in 1348, thirty thousand stu- dents at Oxford alone. In this reign Cornwall was created a Duke- dom and the title of Duke of Cornwall was given to Edward the Black Prince."
The immigrant, Samuel Penhallow, was the son of Chamond, who was the second son of Richard Penhallow, of Penhallow Co. Cornwall.
The Chamond arms are: Argent, a chev, between three fleur de lys, gu. Crest-A griffin, segeant, or.
The name occurs in St. Chamond, Loire, France.
('hamond, was also a family name of Cornwall. John Chamond of Lacelles, Cornwall (living 1620; age 70), Esq.,
Chamond Penhallow married Ann Tamlyn, at St. Mabyn, May 30. 1661. They had issue :
I. John, b. April 17, 1662.
II. Ann. Married David Greenhill, of London.
III. Samuel, b. at St. Mabyn, July 21, 1665; baptized Aug. 20, 1665.
The Penhallow estate in Cornwall, as laid down on the early maps, is about five miles east of St. Agnes Head, and twenty miles southwest of Bodmin. Richard Penhallow held the estate

in 1620, and later he had for heir the John Penhallow who signed the Visitation of Cornwall in 1620.
The arms of Penhallow are: Vert., A cony, ar. Crest-A goat, passant, azure, hoofed and attired or.
Samuel Penhallow was for some years under the instructions of the Rev. Charles Morton, formerly a rector of Brisland, a friend of his father, "a learned and Godlie man" as quoted in a letter to Increase Mather from his brother N. Mather, received in Boston, August 12, 1686.
The school being broken up by the government, Morton decided to emigrate to America and suggested to some of his pupils to accompany him. Samuel Penhallow, having the consent of his parents, was one of those that accepted. October 29, 1686, he united with the church at Charlestown, Mass., over which Morton became pastor.
Not long afterwards he removed to Portsmouth to engage in business ; and when located there, July 1, 1687, he married Mary, daughter of John Cutt, the first President of the first Council of New Hampshire. They had issue :

CUTT.
In 1640, one William Cutts was taxed in Saco, Maine. In 1657. John Cutt is first mentioned, as one of the five "selectmen," of Portsmouth. In 1646, Richard Cutt succeeded Sampson Lane in the occupation of what was then known as the "great house," which was built in 1631. It is probable that John, Richard and Robert Cutt came from England to this country prior to 1646. Robert Cutt first went to Barbadoes, afterwards to Portsmouth. living at "Great Island" now known as New Castle. He removed from that place to Kittery. Maine.
Richard Cutt was first a resident of the Isles of Shoals and later removed to Portsmouth. There lived, too, at Portsmouth oue John Cutt, Jr., who was probably a nephew of the three brothers. Besides these seven of the name, there was also a sister, Ann Cutt. who married John Skipway, a merchant of Portsmouth.
The earlier record of the family gives the spelling Cutt. It
213
VIRGINIA FAMILIES
was not used in the form Cutts until nearly a hundred years after they first arrived.
The Cutts emigrated, not for religious freedom, but to better their fortunes in the new world. Families of the name spelled Cutts had long held estates in Essex and Cambridge. Tradition declares their father to have been Richard Cutts, Esq., of Gron- dale Abbey, Arkesden Parish, Essex, a Cromwellite. He married a widow named Shelton who bore for him and her previous husband a total of twenty-three children, all of whom were living at the same time.
John and Richard brought capital with them and soon became the leading merchants and ultimately the wealthiest men of the colony.
John lived at Portsmouth, the center of the lumber trade of the district. Portsmouth was then known as "Strawberry Bank." He became a member of the council for the government of the colony with the title of Honorable, and, in 1679, was appointed by the crown its first president. His name was written "Catts" in his letters patent. Their estate in Portsmouth covered two-thirds of what is now the compact part of the city. He married (July 30. 1662) Hannah Starr and died April 5, 1681. Of his second marriage we have no data, and the family name of the lady is not known, but it is certain that the widow, "Ursula Cutt," who was killed by the Indians, July, 1694, was his widow. In his will be gave his daughters, Hannah and Mary, each a silver plate marked "T. S." They undoubtedly belonged to the family of his first wife. He mentioned in his will his children, John, Samuel, Hannah and Mary, and his second wife, who survived him, Ursula.
The first wife, Hannah Starr, was a gentlewoman of sweet temper and singular piety, and daughter of Dr. Comfort Starr, an eminent physician of Boston, and one of its first settlers, one of those who left his native land purely to secure the free exercise of his religious convictions and was fortunately able to bring with him ample means for his establishment.
The eldest son of Dr. Starr, also Dr. Comfort Starr, was a graduate of Harvard in 1647. He was one of the two thousand ministers who after the restoration of King Charles II were dis- placed in the year 1662.
Mary Cutt. whom Samuel Penhallow married, was born in
214
SOME PROMINENT
Portsmouth, November 17, 1269. When only five years old her mother died, and before she arrived at twelve years her father died. He had, however, previously placed her under the care of the Rev. Mr. Moody, who gave her a pious and liberal education. She was in her eighteenth year when she married Samuel Pen- hallow, and inherited from her father a valuable patrimony, which consisted of the tract of land on which the greater part of the city of Portsmouth was subsequently built. Samuel Penhallow, having engaged in trade, accumulated a large estate and lived in elegant style. He was very hospitable; his house, which was situated on what is now the corner of State and Water Streets. Portsmouth, extended in land east to the water and south along its front. He was early appointed a magistrate. He acted as one of His Majesty's Council and presided as Senior Councillor, in 1714. He was appointed a Justice of the Superior Court of Judicature, and, in 1717, Chief Justice of the same Court, which office he held until his death. He likewise filled the office of Treasurer of the province. Judge Penhallow had a well balanced mind, controlled by an excellent education.
His name is perhaps more distinguished as the author of "History of the Wars of New England with the Eastern Indians," first published in 1726, and republished in the "New Hampshire Historical Collection," in 1824. He died December 2, 1726. Mary Cutt, his wife, died February 8, 1713.
The Royal Charter, given in 1679, under which President John Cutt served, was the only one ever granted to New Hampshire. He convened the first general assembly held in the state. Ports- mouth, Dover and Hampton each sent three delegates and Exeter two. These were all the towns then in the colony.
Richard and John Cutt were of the first nine members of the first church in Portsmouth.
John Cutt married Hannah Starr, daughter of Dr. Comfort Starr and Elizabeth, his wife. The marriage ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Mr. Danforth, Kent, England, where she was born, July 22, 1632. They were married July 30, 1662. Dr. Starr died in Boston. 1653; Mrs. Starr, 1652. They had issue :
I. John Cutt, b. June 30, 1663; d. 1665.
II. Elizabeth Cutt, b. Nov. 23, 1664: d. Sept. 23, 1668.

Anne Cutt married (1661) John Skipway. They had issue :
I. John Skipway, Jr., b. July 26. 1662. Married Sarah Frost.
John Skipway, Sr., was a merchant in Portsmouth, N. H., and one of the selectmen in 1672. He died 1683.
The only known record of this Anne Cutt is in the will of Richard Cutt, who mentions her as his sister and metions also her son, John. From the fact that the sister is not mentioned in the will of John Cutt, who died in 1681, it is presumed that she and her husband died in the interval between the deaths of Richard and John.
Richard Cutt had his home in New Castle for a time. He was largely concerned in extensive fisheries there and at the Isles of Shoals, seven miles distant. He built and commanded. in 1660, the fort at New Castle, erected on the site of Fort Constitution for the protection of the harbor. He had the title of Captain. He represented Portsmouth seven terms in the General Court. be- tween the years 1655 and 1676, the year of his death.

Robert Cutt came to Piscataqua plantation several years after his brothers John and Richard. He went to St. Christopher, West India Islands, first, where he found his first wife. After her death he went to Barbadoes. No doubt he carried on a sea trade with his brothers while there. He took for his second wife Mary Hoel, the daughter of an English clergyman. She was of English or Welsh parentage. Many years later there was a Mr. and Mrs. Hoel living in Kittery. Robert Cutt had for a companion and friend the high-born Francis Champerdowne, who was his neighbor, and after Robert Cutt's death married his widow. This Francis Champerdowne was looked upon by the colonists as apart from the common herd, being a descendant of the Plantagenets and many other of the most noble families of England. His father, Arthur Champerdowne, was first cousin of Sir Walter Raleigh, of Queen Elizabeth fame, and of Sir Humphrey Gilbert. After her second husband's death in December, 1687. Mary Hoel removed to South Carolina and resided with her daughter, Mrs. Screven. (See Mills.)
Robert Cutt died in Kittery, Maine, in the latter part of June, 1674.
In 1665 Robert Cutt and Francis Chamberlayne were made justices of the peace with authority to "manage jointly for the crown all affairs of that part of the Province of Maine."
Samuel Cutt, the youngest child of President John Cutt and Hannah Starr, is the least known of his father's family. It is traditional that he married Eleanor Harvey in 1693 or '94 and d. October 15. 1698, leaving two sons, John and Samuel.
