History of Rockingham
1. CAPT. MICHAEL+ ( Michael,3 Nathaniel2 Alexander!), b. Medway. Mass .. July 5. 1728: one of the very first settlers of R. ; name spelled also " Mical" and ". Michal" on records ; third meeting of the " proprietors " of the town held at his house July 17. 1760, and he was prominent in organizing the town (See p. 62). Ilis was the second dwelling mentioned in early town records ; at this meeting he was given ninety acres of land upon condition that he should build a saw-mill which, when built, was the first mill of any kind in R.
He m. Hannah -; he d. Apr. 2, 1772 ; buried in the old cemetery at R. ; she is buried in Cavendish, Vt.

(A stone in the old cemetery at R. reads " Miss Hannah Lovell dau. of Michael & Ilannah his w. who d. Oct. 6, 1784 aet 17y 9 mo." No further record found of her. )
2. EBENEZER+ ( Michael,3 Nathaniel2 Alexander!), b. Medway, Mass., Mar. 25, 1730; a prominent citizen of Worcester, Mass .: in R. temporarily as early as 1761 ; his son. Ebenezer, became a leading citizen of this town. Ebenezer+ during the Revolution served with Massachusetts troops, ensign Apr., 1775, later colonel. He m. 2d Dec. 7. 1791, Mehitable Upham of Wor- cester ; little known regarding his family except
Child by Ist wife :
9. i. EBENEZER, 5 m. Ist Sally Barnard ; m. 2d Philena Dustin.
3. OLIVER+ ( Michael,3 Nathaniel,2 Alexander!), b. Worcester, Mass .. May I, 1739 ; came to R. among its earliest settlers ; active in town and church matters as early as 1773, when the first church building was erected; appointed Aug. 21, 1885 as a warden of the church of England for the towns of R .. Westminster. Chester and Grafton ; appointed justice of the peace in this county Apr. 14. 1772, under authority of King George II. ; Jan. 4. 1776, appointed by the Cumberland County Committee of Safety as the 2d major of the first, or "Lower regiment " of Vermont troops: Mar. I. of the same year was promoted to be first major, and was upon various committees during the period of the formation of the state of Vermont.
Evidently Major Lovell did not espouse the Liberty cause and renounce his loyalty to the King as early in the struggle as the larger part of the citi- zens of R. did, as in April, 17SI, a largely signed petition of the residents of
703
Lovell
R. was presented to Gov. Chittenden and his council remonstrating against his being commissioned as a justice of the peace for the county, to which office he had recently been elected. He was, however, duly commissioned, and served with distinction.
He lived on the farm near the Springfield town line, now owned and occupied by Dexter B. Damon. On this farm, about 25 rods west of the highway, are buried his remains, and those of his wife, the two headstones and one other of another family marking all the interments shown to have been made there. Early in the last century the old dwelling was torn down and the present house of Mr. Damon erected about 30 rods west of the origi- nal site of Major Lovell's home.
His first wife's name was Hannah, who d. Mar. 13, 1799, ac. 55. He m. 2d Irena -

4. TIMOTHY4 ( Michael,3 Nathaniel,2 Alexander!). b. Feb. 8, 1742 ; was one of the earliest as well as wealthiest citizens of the town. Ile owned many tracts of land in different locations ; was a noted Tory during the Revolution, probably the most noted in this respect of any resident. He owned a farm just north of the mouth of Williams river known as the "Tory farm " later as the " Ferry farm."
The legislature of Vermont, held at Bennington, Feb. 26, 1779, passed an act whereby he, with 50 citizens of other towns in the state, was declared an outlaw, and " having left the state and joined its enemies at a time when needed," etc., it was declared that if he should be found within the bounda- ries of Vermont he " should be whipped on the naked back not more than forty, nor less than twenty stripes," and ordered to quit the state immedi- ately. If he should remain in the state one month, or return a second time " without the liberty of the goverment he shall be put to death." It was also declared that all his estates should be confiscated and sold for the benefit of the state treasury.
He evidently later repented of his affiliation with the Tory New Yorkers and became loyal to Vermont, for on Feb. 19, 1783, the legislature at Wind- sor passed the following :
" Whereas, It appears by Certificates of Captains Samuel Gilbert and Lemuel Holmes, and other sufficient evidence that Timothy Lovell, late of Rockingham in the County of Windham, who went to the Enemy on Long Island, in April, 1777, and returned to the state of New York the next year in consequence of which a considerable part of his Estate was disposed of by this state, is now so far a friend to this and the United States that he ought to enjoy all the Privileges of a Subject of the same :
704
History of Rockingham
Therefore. Be it enacted, and it is hereby Enacted by the Representa- tives of the freemen of the State of Vermont, in General Assembly met, and by the authority of the Same that the Said Timothy Lovell be, and he is hereby permitted to return to and reside in this state : and that he have fully and absolutely restored to him, all the Property belonging to him in this State, except what has been disposed of to the use of the same and enjoy the Privileges of a Subject in as ample a Manner as if he had never left the Same."
In later years different sessions of legislature were called upon to reim- burse people who had purchased some of Mr. Lovell's confiscated property, because of defective title, showing that possibly Mr. Lovell was unjustly out- lawed.
Hall's " History of Eastern Vermont " speaks of him as " Captain Timo- thy Lovell of Rockingham." indicating that at some time he held a commis- sion, either under authority of New York or later of Vermont.
The town records, Vol. 1, p. 171, show that Dec. 9, 1787, Captain Timo- thy Lovell was a member of the Church of England.
He m. Feb. 16, 1804, Mary Dinsmore of R., and both are buried at Charlestown, N. II .; no children.
5. JOHN+ ( Michael,3 Nathaniel,2 Alexander1), b. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 20, 1746 : one of the first settlers in the town of R. : in Aug., 1773, was on a com- mittee to make arrangements for, and build, the first meeting-house erected within the limits of the town. The records of the ist Town chh. show that both he and his wife were admitted to membership Dec. 21, 1777, and that he was active in church work, frequently delegate to councils, and Dec. 30, 1782, he was chosen in town meeting " to Converse with the Rev'd Sam'l Whiting Respecting " some questioned terms of the contract between Mr. Whiting and the town regarding his services as its pastor. He was in Capt. William Simond's company of Rockingham men who marched to Guilford with Ethan Allen in 1782 and among those " that Marcht to Manchester," and Benning- ton, in 1777.

His store at the lower end of Main street, was burned in the great fire which occurred in that village Apr. 1, 1842, when a large number of buildings were destroyed. The fire was set in the jail by a pris- oner named John Hicks, a noted burglar, who planned to escape in the excitement, but failed in his design. Mr. Lovell built the house where Chief Justice Cushing resided for many years ; was a director in the Charlestown bank, and represented Charlestown . in the legislature of 1828; m. Jan. 7, 1804.

6. ELIJAH4 ( Michacl,3 Nathaniel,2 AlexanderI), b. Worcester, Mass., Apr. 20, 1749; was like his five brothers a prominent early settler. He held title to large tracts of land in town and his home farm and residence was .located on the place known in later years as the " Aldis Lovell farm " just above Lawrence Mills, a little to the south from the Chester road, where there are still remaining evidences of the foundation of his house. A certificate, on the town records, shows that Aug. 21, 1785, Elijah Lovell was a member of . the Church of England, and among the deaths recorded by the pastor of the 1st Town chh. in Aug., 1777 is " a soldier at Elijah Lovell's." He was prom- inent in public affairs of the town, one of the five petitioners for the organi- zation of what is now known as the "Lawrence Mills School District," which, when organized, and until after 1822, was known as " Elijah Lovell's School District."

7. ENOS5 )Capt. Michael, Michacl,3 Nathaniel,2 Alexander!), b. about 1760; the 2d child b. in R. ; lived for many years about 2 miles north of B. F., on what is now known as the " Clark Farm." Ile evidently had strong Tory proclivities during the Revolution, as Slade's " Vermont State Papers," pp. 346 to 348, gives an account of his being arraigned at Westminster, May 26, 1789, with a number of other citizens of R., for having opposed Capt. Lem- uel Sargeant while engaged in enforcing one of the laws of Vermont, for which he was fined £20, 6s, 6d, and a portion of his estate was advertised for sale to satisfy this judgment. The family lived at one time in Springfield, Vt., and later moved to Grafton, Vt. Ile m. Jan. 11, 1781, Mary Grout of Charlestown, N. II.

9. EBENEZER5 ( Ebenezer,+ Michael,3 Nathaniel,2 Alexander!). Child's Windham County Gazetteer (1884) .says of him : "Capt. Ebenezer Lovell, Jr., came to R. from Worcester, Mass., at an early day. Hle was a recruiting officer in the war of 1812, and was chosen captain of a militia company at S. R. when 16 yrs. old. He afterwards removed to Putney, where in ISS4 two of his sons, Henry M. and John B. resided. He d. in Walpole, N. H., in 1865." There being an " Ebenezer " in so many generations makes the above statement, if correct, doubtful as to which one is intended. Ebenezer5 m. Ist .
