TOWN OF NEWBURY.
Col. Robert, settled in this town where his grandson, Joseph Johnston, now lives, was proprietor of a grist and saw-mill, and farmer. He was father of two sons and two daughters. Cyrus, another son of Col. Robert, settled on a farm in Berlin, where he died. He had two sons and four daughters. John Johnston, deceased, settled in Greensborough.
James Abbott, who was one of the first settlers of Newbury, was a great- grandson of George Abbott, who came, as tradition reports, from Yorkshire, Eng., about 1640, and was among the first settlers of Andover, Mass., in 1643. The line of descent was George1, William2, James3, James4. James Abbott4 was born in Andover, January 12, 1717, died in Newbury in 1803. James3 moved with his family to Concord, N. H., in 1637 (Bouton's History of Concord says about 1735), becoming a proprietor by purchase ; and James4 married, in 1742, Sarah Bancroft, born February 19, 1722; daughter of Capt. Samuel and Sarah Lampson Bancroft, of Reading. Their children were: Sarah, born March 1, 1743, married J. Walden, of Warner, N. H. Abigail, born January 22, 1746, married Maj. Asa Bailey, of Haverhill, N. H. Mary,
born February 6, 1748, married, first, -- - Minchen, and second, Uriah Cross, and about 1794 moved to near Lake Champlain. James, born October 18, 1750, married, first, in 1780, Zilpha Smith, by whom he had three children, and second, Mehitabel Hidden, who bore him four children, moved to Ohio in 1809, and died about 1814. Judith, born January 19, 1753, married, in 1773, Dea. Thomas Brock,-whence the Brock families,in South and West Newbury and elsewhere,-and died in 1807.

With his wife and these (living) children, excepting probably the first daughter (married ?) and the last son (born later), James Abbott4 came to Newbury in 1763; his family forming, as tradition says, the thirteenth or fourteenth family in the settle- ment (Newbury and Haverhill). He settled first in the Ox Bow ; but when the town came to have a settled minister it was desired to give him a share in the land, and James Abbott was pursuaded to give up his right to the minister. He was a deacon in the first church, but lived some time in Haver- hill. Afterwards he returned to Newbury, and in 1783 he bought of Jacob Bayley a lot of land in the south part of the town, which has been owned in the Abbott family ever since.

for amusement, without the aid of a teacher. In such moral reforms as temperance, the Abbotts have acted promptly and decidedly ; and in the anti- slavery movement they went boldly ahead of average public sentiment, believing it far better to be right than to be popular. James Abbott, son of Bancroft, was one of the earliest "abolitionists " in the town, and he gave liberally of his substance to promote the improvement of the colored race. He held at various times town offices.
Abram Brickett and Sarah Kelley, his wife, removed from Haverhill, Mass., to the western part of Newbury, and settled on a lot of uncleared land, be- tween 1780 and 1790. The place where they settled is directly west of and adjoining the place long known as the Sawyer farm, and east of the place known at first as the Tarrant Putnam, and afterwards as the Nathaniel Niles farm. The house is now unoccupied and the place united with the Sawyer farm. They had three children, John, Abram and Edmund. Abram moved to the north part of the state, Edmund to the state of Maine, where he died, John remained on the homestead, and had the charge of the family after his father's death, until they became of age.
John Brickett, son of Abram, was born in Newbury, March 19, 1790. Having been left with a mother and two brothers younger than himself in his care, he found but little time for attending school. Such opportunities as he had he improved, and learnd the use of figures, and how to write a legible hand. He married in early life Elizabeth Putnam, daughter of Tarrant Putnam and Eunice Porter, his wife, of Newbury. She was a woman of rare merit, a good scholar, of excellent christain principles, and one who knew how to train well her household. Mr. Brickett went into the pearlash business, which was profitable for a few years, but had its ups and downs. Mr. Brickett built a factory at the foot of Sawyer hill, bought the ashes of the families far and near, and manufactured them into pearlash, which he sold in Boston. It was before the days of railroads, and the salts, when ready, were transported to Boston by large horse teams. They had four children, vis .: Harry, Eunice, Sarah Ann, and Eunice Jane. Eunice, born in 1820, died in infancy ; Sarah Ann, born in 1822, married John Un- derwood, of Bradford, Vt., and died in the forty-eighth year of her age ; Eunice Jane, born in 1826, died in the twentieth year of her age.
Rev. Harry Brickett, son of John, was born February 1, 1818. His early advantages for school were good. He attended school in the Bradford and Haverhill (N. H.) academies, and graduated at Dartmouth college in 1840. After graduating and teaching awhile he studied medicine two years at Han- over, and afterwards taught in academies and normal schools thirteen con- secutive years, when he was ordained to the gospel ministry, in the Congre- gational church. In 1846 he was united in marriage with Miss Eliza Cutter, daughter of Capt. Joseph Cutter, of Jaffrey, N. H., and Phebe Gage, his wife. They have had five children, viz .: Joseph Cutter, deceased ; Ellen Josephine, Harry Leroy, Julia Eliza, now deceased, and Mary Isabel.

Again, in the War of 1812, his patriotism forced him to enter the service of his country, with the rank of major of militia from which he was soon pro- moted to colonel. He died October 28, 1851, at the advanced age of nearly ninety-four years. His aged wife survived until June 23, 1854.

John married Jane Smith, of Scotch descent, and settled in the woods on Jefferson hill, in company with Joshua, Jr., and Noyes Bailey. They commenced their clearing at the time President Jefferson was inaugurated, and in honor of that event gave his name to the locality, which it still bears. Their nearest neighbor was three miles distant, and their road through the forest was a path marked by blazed trees. Mr. Peach's first resi- dence was a log cabin, which later gave way to a more commodious and comfortable home, in which he resided until his death, July 3, 1866, aged eighty-eight years.
