5602	Sidney, Betsey Nellie and Alice went to New York in 1869 after Frank and George went to Michigan with the Bowen's. It is thought that Betsey died there about 1870 or 1871. Nellie and Alice completed their education there and taught school there until 1875 or 1876 when they came to Advance, MI with their father.	SMITH, Sidney Brown (I21446)

5604	Signed a Newington petition in 1713), living in 1750 On 20 May 1727, Joseph was one of the original grantees of the town of Bow, NH, but he likely never lived there. He was baptized at Dover with daughter Esther in 1728, and in Berwick, Maine by 1732. On 21 Dec 1750 Joseph sold 25 acres of land in Berwick to Hatevil Colson.	PEAVEY, Joseph (I47180)
5605	Signed Dover Combination. ----- In 1648, on the 27th of the 7th month (which might be either July or October by the reckoning of the time), Richard Pinkham was commissioned to "beat ye drumme on Lord's day to call the people to meeting and to sweepe ye Meeting House, for which he shall be allowed six bushels of Indian corn for his pay this yeare, and to be free from Rates [taxes]." The broom was of evergreen boughs. According to local tradition the Indians saw Richard Pinkham beating his drum every 7th day and believed it to be the center of the white man's magic. Wanting to drive the colonists away they set a watch on his house, planning to steal of the drum on a Saturday, replace it with something the same size, and cover the substitution with the same cloth that Pinkham used to cover the drum. Then the Indians planned that on Sunday they would light a fire near the Church, shout to attract the settlers' attention, and throw the real drum on the fire. Then when the white men saw their magic destroyed they would leave. On a Saturday afternoon when Pinkham walked up the forest path to the Meeting House the Indians stole the drum and replaced it as planned. They watched as Pinkham returned. Some of the Indians began to worry and wanted to abandon the plan and merely kill Pinkham. The worriers were overruled and the Indians decided to go through with their plan. The next day the Indians watched as Pinkham walked to the meeting house. Pinkham did not seem to be concerned about the loss of his drum and the Indians became apprehensive. Pinkham lifted the wooden latch on the Meeting House door, went inside, came out with an even larger drum, and began to beat it. The Indians, though alarmed, went through with their plan. They shouted to attract attention, then threw the stolen drum on the fire. This drum, however, was packed with gunpowder, and the resulting explosion killed many Indians, while the rest fled from the noise and flames. A few Indians were captured and brought to the Minister who was in conference with Pinkham. It was Easter Sunday and the Minister offered a prayer before asking Richard Pinkham to speak to the startled congregation. Pinkham explained that with the guidance of God he had suspected the Indian plot, made a duplicate drum, and filled the one in his house with gunpowder.	PINKHAM, Richard (I7411)
5606	Signed his will on 18 Jul 1724. John was on the Grand Jury in 1695 and 1698. He was baptized two days before he signed his will. John had two wives and ten children. The order of the children is not known except for the first son, John, who was the s/o John's first wife, Mary Canney. Three of the remaining four sons and one daughter of the five daughters could be the children of Mary Canney as the first son, John, in 1747, sued for share of self and three brothers and one sister in Grandfather Canney's estate. We make the assumption that Joseph is the s/o Mary Canney as we know the birthday of son Samuel, 10 March 1699 is after the date of John's second marriage to Rachel Allen. John and his first wife, Mary (Canney) Twombly had five children, we assume, dates and order of birth unknown, all born in Dover, NH	TWOMBLY, John (I4054)
5607	Signed the Declaration of Independence After his health and fortune were wrecked by the war, he moved his large family to a small estate in Hanover Co. There he died of asthma on January 4, 1789, a week after he became sixty. ----- According to family tradition, the Nelson House served as the second headquarters of Gen. Charles Cornwallis during the siege of Yorktown (September-October 1781), and with Nelson's permission American artillery shelled and hit the house. The historical record indicates that both British and French military personnel likely used it, but their identities cannot be definitely ascertained. And the southeast face of the residence does show evidence of damage from cannon fire. The Marquis de Lafayette, who revisited the United States in 1824-25, was quartered there when in the former year he attended the celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown, in which he had played a key role. The home stands today as part of the Colonial National Historical Park. ----- THOMAS NELSON, JR. was the grands/o Thomas Nelson, known as "Scotch Tom", a merchant-planter who was the American founder of one of the wealthiest of Virginia families. His father was William Nelson, long a member of the Council and at one time acting Governor of the Province, who was generally known as "President Nelson". At the age of fourteen, young Nelson was sent to Eaton in England for his schooling. He subsequently graduated from Cambridge and returned to America in 1761 at the age of twenty-two. While still at sea on his way home from England, he was elected by York Co to the House of Burgesses. The following year, he married Lucy Grymes, daughter of Philip Grymes, Esq. of Middlesex Co. At the time of his marriage, his father gave him a large landed estate and a large sum of cash that enabled him to maintain an elegant lifestyle. The couple eventually had eleven children. ----- In May 1777, while attending congress, he was suddenly attacked with a disease of the head, probably of a paralytic nature, which, for a time, greatly impaired his memory. Nelson returned to Virginia and soon after he resigned his seat in congress. His health gradually improved and his services were again demanded by the public, and by the governor and council he was appointed brigadier general and commander in chief of the forces of the commonwealth. In this office he rendered his most important services to his country in general, and to the colony of Virginia in particular. His ample fortune enabled him, in cases of emergency, to advance money to carry the military.	NELSON, Thomas (I5152)
5608	Signed the Dover Combination. ----- Thomas Leighton, born about 1604 as a deposition shows, died January 20, 167 2.

Joanna died January 15, 1704. ----- Thomas Leighton ( variously spelled Layton ; Laton) was born in 1604; came to America about 1633. In 1633 he took a lot of Captain Wiggans, which is thus described in 1647:--"butting on the Back River west, and on John Dam's Lott on the North, and on the Lane to ye back Cove , on the South,"-- He had various grants of land which it would puzzle an Indian to locate now, one of which was, in 1656, 100 acres joining to the 20 acres he bought of Mr. Gibbons, formerly belonging to Mr. Rogers. He lived on Dover Neck; died 22 Jan'y 1672. His will was dated 21 Sept'r 1671; proved 25 June, 1672. He gave property, therein, to his "only son and heir" Thomas, and to his daughters Mary (wife of Thomas Roberds, Jr.,)--Elizabeth ( wife of Phillip Cromwell,) and Sarah. Of his children were, (Fam.1,) Thomas; Mary who married Thomas Roberds, Jr.;Daughter (Mary) who married Deacon John Hall; Elizabeth who married (1) Philip Cromwell, (2) Philip Chesley; Sarah who was unmarried in 1672. ----- from TORREY: LEIGHTON, Thomas (1604, 1605?, 1602?-1672) & Joanna/[?Hannah SILSBY] (-1704, ae 86), m/2 Job CLEMENTS 1673; by 1643; Dover, NH	LEIGHTON, Thomas (I4330)

5610	Signed the Treaty of Picquigny (1475) with Edward IV of England, which formally ended the Hundred Years' War. With the death of Charles the Bold at the Battle of Nancy in 1477, the dynasty of the dukes of Burgundy died out. Louis took advantage of the situation to seize numerous Burgundian territories, including Burgundy proper and Picardy. Louis developed his kingdom by encouraging trade fairs and the building and maintenance of roads. Louis XI pursued the organization of the kingdom of France with the assistance of bourgeois officials.[24] In some respects, Louis XI perfected the framework of the modern French Government which was to last until the French Revolution.[24] Thus, Louis XI is one of the first modern kings of France who helped take it out of the Middle Ages. Louis XI was very superstitious[46] and surrounded himself with astrologers. Interested in science, he once pardoned a man sentenced to death on condition that he serve as a guinea pig for a gallstone operation. Through war, cunning, and sheer guile, Louis XI overcame France's feudal lords, and at the time of his death in the Château de Plessis-lez-Tours, he had united France and laid the foundations of a strong monarchy. He was, however, a secretive, reclusive man, and few mourned his death. Despite Louis XI's political acumen and overall policy of Realpolitik, Niccolò Machiavelli actually criticized Louis harshly in Chapter 13 of the The Prince, calling him shortsighted and imprudent for abolishing his own infantry in favor of Swiss mercenaries.	DE VALOIS, King Louis XI (I40375)

By 1751, as many as thirty other Quaker families had migrated to Snow Camp. During 1751, Abigail Pike and Rachel Wright traveled to Perquimans County, North Carolina to attend the Quarterly Meeting at Little River, in hopes of gaining permission to establish a new monthly meeting in Cane Creek.

He married Eleanor Windsor, daughter of Sir Andrew Windsor, 1st Baron Windsor and Elizabeth Blount, before 6 April 1529. He became a close friend and gentleman of the Privy Chamber to his distant cousin, Henry VIII. He was the brother of George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny and the two of them became close to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. The support of the Nevilles and their cousins the Courtenays, for Catherine of Aragon's marriage and for the Pope's authority in England, led to the execution of Edward Neville and many of his relatives. Yet even in 1535, Neville did not seem to have lost the King'sfavour. Early in 1538, Thomas Cromwell was warned that Sir Edward Neville was endeavoring to persuade the minister of Mottenden secretly to surrender his house. But Cromwell, who was now, after the death of the earl of Northumberland in 1537, honoured with the title of founder of the priory, had marked its property for his own. After the Pilgrimage of Grace, many conservative nobles were accused of treason. Neville was arrested on 3 November 1538, for conspiracy with the brother of Cardinal Pole, they were both charged with high treason for promoting the interests of his cousin, Reginald Pole and Neville was sent to the Tower, tried at Westminster, and beheaded, 8 December at Tower Hill.

Johnston (1625-1671) and Isabel Maitland (1626-1686). Sir James and Marjorie had one known child, Barbara Lambert Hume (1670-1745), and possibly other children. —— William Hoge left Musselboro in about 1682. He sailed to New York on the “Caledonia”. This ship also carried family of Sir James Hume, from Paisley Scotland. His ancestral home was Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire. His father was a Baron and knight that traced his lineage back to the first Stuart King, Robert Bruce (1274–1329).

The third Lord Latimer was the second husband of Catherine Parr, later Queen of England. The daughter of the fourth Lord Latimer married Sir Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter and the castle thus passed into the hands of the Cecil family. Sir Thomas largely rebuilt the castle in the 16th century, adding the four towers, and transforming the building into an Elizabethan dwelling house.

An atlas of York Co, Maine, published by Sanford, Everts & Co, of Philadelphia, in 1872, states, on p 108, that Samuel Dam came to Massabesic Plantation (now Waterboro) Maine, from Durham, New Hampshire, in 1780; but he was a resident there as early as 3 Sep 1778, as is shown in a deed of that date (York Co Deeds, Book 47, f 212). Built the first inn, a sawmill, and a gristmill; was chairman of the building committee for the church at Waterboro (Old Corner); held many offices in the town. In 1782 he bought the water rights on the Little Ossipee River and built the mills at Washington Plantation, now Newfield Maine.

Hence members of the Dam family at Dam's Mills were either residents of Newfield or of Shapleigh, depending on the side of the river on which they resided.	DAME, Samuel (I1199)

5637	Solomon was first recorded in Duxbury in 1637, and in May 1638 was "promised lands on Duxburrow side, (in part of those due to him for his service)." He probably arrived as an indentured servant about 1631. His father may have been named Samuel, and he probably was in Leyden before coming to Plymouth Colony. He moved to Bridgewater about 1649. He and Sarah had six children.	LEONARD, Solomon (I26725)
5638	Some believe that she was accused of witchcraft in Salem in 1692 because she was a niece of the Rev. Francis Dane of Andover. (Over one third of the Salem accused were related to him or his wife in some way.) Martha's trial was fully transcribed at the direction of Cotton Mather, who believed this case to represent the strongest case for the use of spectral evidence. The evidence he found persuasive was the testimony of Martha's 16-year old-son, Richard, and her 12-year-old daughter, Sarah, that she made them become witches to "haunt" others at her direction. However, John Proctor (who was hung the same day as Martha) wrote the governor that he witnessed these children's torture in the jail where he was also imprisoned: they were reportedly tied neck to ankles (with a rope down their backs) and left that way until said what their interrogators wanted to hear.	ALLEN, Martha (I47287)
5639	Some historians claim that Joseph never married while others claim that he married a Chickasaw Indian maid and went renegade by living among the Indians the rest of his life. Some historians believe that Joseph and Sukawanny had 10 sons and 2 daughters who all took Indian names and lived as Chickasaws.	LATHAM, Joseph (I23731)
5640	Some question about the where and when of Betsey's death. She was in WI in 1850 and her last daughter Alice was born in WI in 1861. Sidney was living alone with daughter Alice in MI in 1880 and married Laura Davis in 1887. The Douglas' have been traced to upper New York state and it is thought they are of the line of Deacon William Douglas, s/o Robert Douglas of Scotland, who emigrated to America in 1640. These Douglas have been traced back to 1175.	DOUGLAS, Elizabeth ”Betsy” (I21447)
5641	Some sources incorrectly cite her name as Mary.	LANE, Martha (I12330)
5642	Some sources state her name as Catherine WARREN, but this is incorrect. Cornelius was born in Warren, ME, so maybe this is the source of the confusion.	WALCOTT, Katherine (I673)
5643	Some time after finishing high school she became a school teacher and went to Spokane, WA. There were other folks from Princeton that had gone out to Washington state so she must have thought it was a good idea. She met and married Aaron Church there. She lied about her age on the marriage license as she was older than Aaron. Martha “Mattie” went to Calgary, Canada to become a night long distance clerk at the Telephone Company about 1909. Met Frank Farndell who worked at the Hotel across the street. He would come over to the telephone office to have coffee. Married in 1911. Re-entered the US at Blaine, WA on May 2, 1914 with baby Jean. She often signed her name Mattie when she was younger but went by Martha in later life. Her first teacher in Princeton was Ida Fogg. Ida is a cousin. When her daughter Margaret started school there at age 6 she had the same teacher. However Margaret was there with her Aunt Rose Patterson after Uncle Aulger Rines died. Nana turned white in her 20’s but she always had her hair done at the beauty parlor. She was a very vain person. Maybe it had to do with the times. She lived near Hollywood and tried to emulate the movie stars. When nana became old she started to get a few black strands in her hair and was very upset. She pulled them till she couldn’t see to do it anymore. She had glaucoma and for many years used eye drops for control. However, she lost her peripheral vision and cataracts made her essentially blind by her death.	TIBBETTS, Martha (I32446)
5644	Sometime before Michaelmas 1198, Earl Richard and his wife Amice were separated by order of the Pope on grounds of consanguinity, by which date she took personal possession of the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, her marriage portion. The kinship was presumably due their common descent from Harleve of Falaise, mother of William the Conqueror, King of England, they being related in the 5th and 6th degrees of kindred though Harleve. They were apparently considered divorced by Trinity term 1200, when Amice was called former wife of the Earl of Clare. The issue of the validity of their marriage was presumably resolved, as Amice styled herself in later charters Countess of Clare. Regardless, they appeared to have been estranged at the time of Earl Richards death, as her charters make no mention of her husband, but only their son and heir, Gilbert.	FITZWILLIAM, Amice (I43290)
5645	Sometime between 1726 and 1747, during which time daughter Patience was born, parents William and Patience removed from Gloucester and traveled coastal north first to Falmouth, Cumberland, then by 1747 they had settled in Meduncook (now Friendship, Maine). This time frame is inferred from three events concerning their seven children. These events are as follows: 1) the first 3 (of 7) children with recorded births in Gloucester, the last of the three being March 18, 1725; 2) recorded death of a child (William) in 1726 in Falmouth; and 3) birth of Ebenezer in Meduncook in 1747. This family (along with extended family members) and their removal from Gloucester to Falmouth are also documented in Babson's work entitled ''History of the town of Gloucester, Cape Ann: including the town of Rockport'', Chapter XII: "Emigration to Falmouth, Me." Babson writes and quotes from the journal of a Reverend as follows: "Under 1726, he [Rev. Thomas Smith] says [in his journal], 'This summer, there came from Cape Ann one Davis,--a pretty troublesome spark,--with his family; also one of his wife's brothers, no better than he; also one Haskell, a sober sort of a man, with his family'....William Davis's wife was Patience Foster..." Rev. Thomas Smith's journal entry locates this family in Falmouth by Summer 1726. Patience, named after her mother, married Cornelius Bradford in 1760 in Meduncook. There they would have 14 children including: Elcy b. 1762; Joshua b. 1764; Elizabeth (aka "Betsey") b. abt. 1766; Hannah b. abt. 1766; Josephus b. 1768; Sarah b. 1768; Sylvia b. 1772; Mehitable b. 1773 (died young); Prudence b. 1774; Winslow b. 1777; Lydia b. 1780; Frederick b. 1782; James b. abt. 1784; and Cornelius Jr. b. about 1786 (cast away on Grand Manan Island and perished). Cornelius passed away in 1790, about four years after their last child was born. Patience Bradford is listed as "Head of Household" in Meduncook Plantation's 1800 Federal Census, which enumerated three household members: 1 female over 45 (Patience); 1 male age 16-25 (likely son James); and 1 female age 16-25 (likely daughter Lydia). Patience passed away after 1800 in Friendship, 1800 being the last known reference to her residence as documented in the 1800 Federal Census.	DAVIS, Patience (I36453)

5680	Source: The Bangor Daily News, Bangor Me, Thursday, September 10, 1942, Pg 10 Camden Woman Has Had Real Adventure At Sea Mrs. Kate Sherman Remembers When Maine Ships Sailed To The Seven Seas By Oscar Shepard CAMDEN, Sept. 9 ---- Mrs. Kate Sherman of Camden --- who will be 90 in October, although the fact is hard to believe ---- has remembered through long and sometimes exciting years a night in August, 1883. She had been on a voyage to Japan with her husband, the Late Justin Sherman, a famous shipmaster in those fondly remembered days when Maine-built ships found their way to the Seven Seas. They were returning to Manila and were two days out from the Straits of Sunda in the Indian Ocean. Mrs. Sherman had gone below but was called to the deck by her husband's cry: "Come up and Look! It's like a thick snowstorm." A strange phenomenon met her eyes -- a phenomenon that for a half century has been burned into her memory. A moving curtain that extended from sea to heavens almost blotted out the moon, and a strange gray substance, unlike anything they knew, was covering the deckhouse and decks. They spread newspapers, and for seven hours it fell upon the vessel. Mrs. Sherman has a bottle of this gray rain in her Camden home, and it is one of her cherished possessions. For it was really volcanic ash from the island of Krakatoa. A modern newspaper clipping recalls the story: "Krakatoa was a volcanic isle in the Sunda Straits. 'Was because in August of 1883 it blew itself off the map. Experts are responsible for these figures: "Thirty-six thousand persons were killed. Lava, pumice and debris were tossed 17 miles into the upper air. The sound of the explosion was heard in Africa, 3000 miles away. Tidal waves 50 feet high smashed outward and even were noted in the English Channel! And dust and ash from the volcano actually circled the entire globe, darkening the sun and causing the earth to suffer an unusually bitter winter season. Such is the story of Krakatoa." Therefore, Capt. and Mrs. Sherman, and the crew had been on the outer edge of a great tragedy. Remember, they were on a sailing vessel and were but two days from Sunda Straits. Here is a thought, if we can find words to make it plain: This pleasant lady who at 89 is so alert physically and mentally, and who lives in the present as well as in the past, is the symbol of a golden era. An era when Maine's sons went down to the sea in ships, and these ships sailed to the world's far places. An era when captains' wives often braved long voyages and unknown perils - as did Mrs.Sherman - or waited with serene courage for their loved ones to return. An era strangely in contrast with the mechanical, literal background of today. A golden era, truly that lives only in fading memory. Mrs. Sherman is the daughter of Elbridge Carleton but was brought up by Samuel D. Carleton of Carleton, Norwood & Co., Rockport shipbuilders, who sent 62 ships down the ways. She was married in Rockport in 1869. The sea was her heritage. It was in her blood. She was only 13 when she made her first voyage, on the Kate Carleton, to the West Indies:and her honeymoon voyage ended in a dramatic wreck. She had sailed with Capt. Sherman on the two-masted brig Fred Bliss to Lisbon in Portugal and Cadez in Spain. The trip was almost ended and the Fred Bliss, salt in her hold, casks of Spanish wine between her decks, was off Swampscott, Mass. She was running by dead reckoning in the driving storm when the lookout shouted: "Breakers ahead!" A moment later the crash came. The crew, in frenzied haste, cut away the first mast, and it fell clear. The second mast fouled, turning the brig on her beam-ends upon the rocks. Then came drama --- the sheer drama with which Maine’s coastal history is filled. Drama, but not tragedy. All escaped safely, Mrs. Sherman has a memory of crawling to the deck, of being lashed to the rail, and later of being lowered to the rocks down the brig's ice-coated side. Then the ships company, chilled to the bone, the storm driving about them, sought some haven of safety. They found a summer cottage but it was locked and deserted "i wish", said the captain, grimly, "we had the axe with which we cutaway that mast." "It's here", said the mate, unexpectedly. "I brought it along." So they were able to smash through one of the shutters. But later they went to a caretaker's cottage, where a coal fire gave warmth. Next morning they returned to the wreck. The storm had abated. They ran a plank from the rocks to the brig and began the work of salvage. Among Mrs. Sherman's possessions were three canaries, which she brought ashore. A little later she had her first experience, not altogether a happy one, with newspapermen. Reporters were there from Boston. Her husband was in Lynn, where he had gone to make a formal report of the wreck, and she told them the story. Surprisingly, one of the papers graphically described how she had crossed on the plank in the snow and wind, the cage of canaries at her side. She has been vaguely suspicious of reportorial accuracy since then. One other interesting fact: The brig's hold, as has been said, was filled with salt. When a hole smashed in her bow, the salt ran out. This lightened the load and the crippled ship was driven upon the rocks where salvage and rescue were easy, instead of sliding off into deep water. For four years following the wreck, Capt. Sherman remained ashore. But there is a siren note in the call of the sea; and this call became clearer and more compelling, after every launching from the Carleton-Norwood yards. Finally he could stand it no longer and went to Bangor, whence he sailed for Liverpool on a vessel loaded with deals. For years, Sherman was master of the three-masted "Raphael". Often Mrs. Sherman accompanied him on long voyages which took them two or three times to England, to Japan and China and other Eastern ports.They sailed past the Solomon and Aleutian Islands, now so prominent in the news dispatches, but did not land there. The Raphael weathered hurricanes and ordinary storms. Often they knew the drama of the sea--but tragedy did not touch them. Mrs. Sherman has pleasant memories of Japan, which then was most unlike the sadistic nation of today. And she tells some delightful, whimsical little stories of her visits there: of "Chop Dolls", the faithful rickshaw boy who served her; of the shopkeeper who on Christmas insisted that she take from his stock a gift of her own choosing, "Because you know, missy", he explained, "one very good man was born today". The Japanese, like the Chinese, seemed to her kindly people. But the world was younger then -- younger and happier. At one point in the brief talk Mrs. Sherman herself asked a question: "How old do you think I am?" "About 90", the reporter answered. But that was because he happened to know. Otherwise, he would have answered, "Between 65 and 70", and been sincere in saying so. Few women in Maine have such picturesque things to remember. Few so personify as has been said, an age that has passed. But she is also of the living and vital present. For a long time she has knitted an average of a sweater each week for the soldier boys; and many might envy her flying needles. Beloved in Camden, she has long been active in the affairs of St. Thomas Episcopal church, of which the Rev. William E. Berger is rector. She will be 90 on Oct. 14. St Thomas church has another active parishioner, Miss Annie Fletcher, who is three weeks younger. There are many fascinating stories along the coast of Maine. ----------- end of quoted article ------------- On the same page is a picture of a wrecked boat on rocks with an inset on the upper left of a 4 masted ship. The caption is as follows: OUT OF THE PAST --- Wreck of the brig Fred Bliss off Swampscott, April 3, 1870. The brig was commanded by Capt. Sherman; and Mrs. Sherman, who lives in Camden, was aboard. (Inset) The Frederick Billings, 2,682 tons, built at Rockport, Maine, by Carleton Norwood & Co., in 1885. She was the second four-masted ship in the United States and the largest square-rigger ever built on the Penobscot. Her end was tragic. Loaded with nitrate in Chile, in 1893, she was set fire by crew, exploded, and sank in 20 minutes. All hands were saved by boats from other vessels in the harbor.	CARLETON, Kate Cunningham (I37911)

In 1648, on the 27th of the 7th month (which might be either July or October by the reckoning of the time), Richard Pinkham was commissioned to "beat ye drumme on Lord's day to call the people to meeting and to sweepe ye Meeting House, for which he shall be allowed six bushels of Indian corn for his pay this yeare, and to be free from Rates [taxes]." The broom was of evergreen boughs. According to local tradition the Indians saw Richard Pinkham beating his drum every 7th day and believed it to be the center of the white man's magic. Wanting to drive the colonists away they set a watch on his house, planning to steal of the drum on a Saturday, replace it with something the same size, and cover the substitution with the same cloth that Pinkham used to cover the drum. Then the Indians planned that on Sunday they would light a fire near the Church, shout to attract the settlers' attention, and throw the real drum on the fire. Then when the white men saw their magic destroyed they would leave. On a Saturday afternoon when Pinkham walked up the forest path to the Meeting House the Indians stole the drum and replaced it as planned. They watched as Pinkham returned. Some of the Indians began to worry and wanted to abandon the plan and merely kill Pinkham. The worriers were overruled and the Indians decided to go through with their plan. The next day the Indians watched as Pinkham walked to the meeting house. Pinkham did not seem to be concerned about the loss of his drum and the Indians became apprehensive. Pinkham lifted the wooden latch on the Meeting House door, went inside, came out with an even larger drum, and began to beat it. The Indians, though alarmed, went through with their plan. They shouted to attract attention, then threw the stolen drum on the fire. This drum, however, was packed with gunpowder, and the resulting explosion killed many Indians, while the rest fled from the noise and flames. A few Indians were captured and brought to the Minister who was in conference with Pinkham. It was Easter Sunday and the Minister offered a prayer before asking Richard Pinkham to speak to the startled congregation. Pinkham explained that with the guidance of God he had suspected the Indian plot, made a duplicate drum, and filled the one in his house with gunpowder.

John was on the Grand Jury in 1695 and 1698. He was baptized two days before he signed his will.

John had two wives and ten children. The order of the children is not known except for the first son, John, who was the s/o John's first wife, Mary Canney. Three of the remaining four sons and one daughter of the five daughters could be the children of Mary Canney as the first son, John, in 1747, sued for share of self and three brothers and one sister in Grandfather Canney's estate. We make the assumption that Joseph is the s/o Mary Canney as we know the birthday of son Samuel, 10 March 1699 is after the date of John's second marriage to Rachel Allen.

John and his first wife, Mary (Canney) Twombly had five children, we assume, dates and order of birth unknown, all born in Dover, NH

According to family tradition, the Nelson House served as the second headquarters of Gen. Charles Cornwallis during the siege of Yorktown (September-October 1781), and with Nelson's permission American artillery shelled and hit the house. The historical record indicates that both British and French military personnel likely used it, but their identities cannot be definitely ascertained. And the southeast face of the residence does show evidence of damage from cannon fire.

The Marquis de Lafayette, who revisited the United States in 1824-25, was quartered there when in the former year he attended the celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown, in which he had played a key role.

The home stands today as part of the Colonial National Historical Park.

THOMAS NELSON, JR. was the grands/o Thomas Nelson, known as "Scotch Tom", a merchant-planter who was the American founder of one of the wealthiest of Virginia families. His father was William Nelson, long a member of the Council and at one time acting Governor of the Province, who was generally known as "President Nelson". At the age of fourteen, young Nelson was sent to Eaton in England for his schooling. He subsequently graduated from Cambridge and returned to America in 1761 at the age of twenty-two. While still at sea on his way home from England, he was elected by York Co to the House of Burgesses. The following year, he married Lucy Grymes, daughter of Philip Grymes, Esq. of Middlesex Co. At the time of his marriage, his father gave him a large landed estate and a large sum of cash that enabled him to maintain an elegant lifestyle. The couple eventually had eleven children.
-----

In May 1777, while attending congress, he was suddenly attacked with a disease of the head, probably of a paralytic nature, which, for a time, greatly impaired his memory. Nelson returned to Virginia and soon after he resigned his seat in congress. His health gradually improved and his services were again demanded by the public, and by the governor and council he was appointed brigadier general and commander in chief of the forces of the commonwealth. In this office he rendered his most important services to his country in general, and to the colony of Virginia in particular. His ample fortune enabled him, in cases of emergency, to advance money to carry the military.

Signed the Treaty of Picquigny (1475) with Edward IV of England, which formally ended the Hundred Years' War. With the death of Charles the Bold at the Battle of Nancy in 1477, the dynasty of the dukes of Burgundy died out. Louis took advantage of the situation to seize numerous Burgundian territories, including Burgundy proper and Picardy.

Louis developed his kingdom by encouraging trade fairs and the building and maintenance of roads. Louis XI pursued the organization of the kingdom of France with the assistance of bourgeois officials.[24] In some respects, Louis XI perfected the framework of the modern French Government which was to last until the French Revolution.[24] Thus, Louis XI is one of the first modern kings of France who helped take it out of the Middle Ages.

Louis XI was very superstitious[46] and surrounded himself with astrologers. Interested in science, he once pardoned a man sentenced to death on condition that he serve as a guinea pig for a gallstone operation.

Through war, cunning, and sheer guile, Louis XI overcame France's feudal lords, and at the time of his death in the Château de Plessis-lez-Tours, he had united France and laid the foundations of a strong monarchy. He was, however, a secretive, reclusive man, and few mourned his death.

Despite Louis XI's political acumen and overall policy of Realpolitik, Niccolò Machiavelli actually criticized Louis harshly in Chapter 13 of the The Prince, calling him shortsighted and imprudent for abolishing his own infantry in favor of Swiss mercenaries.

Sir Edward Neville (1471 – 8 December 1538) was a nobleman born at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. He was the s/o Sir George Neville, 2nd Lord Abergavenny and Margaret Fenne. He married Eleanor Windsor, daughter of Sir Andrew Windsor, 1st Baron Windsor and Elizabeth Blount, before 6 April 1529. He became a close friend and gentleman of the Privy Chamber to his distant cousin, Henry VIII.
He was the brother of George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny and the two of them became close to Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. The support of the Nevilles and their cousins the Courtenays, for Catherine of Aragon's marriage and for the Pope's authority in England, led to the execution of Edward Neville and many of his relatives. Yet even in 1535, Neville did not seem to have lost the King'sfavour.
Early in 1538, Thomas Cromwell was warned that Sir Edward Neville was endeavoring to persuade the minister of Mottenden secretly to surrender his house. But Cromwell, who was now, after the death of the earl of Northumberland in 1537, honoured with the title of founder of the priory, had marked its property for his own. After the Pilgrimage of Grace, many conservative nobles were accused of treason. Neville was arrested on 3 November 1538, for conspiracy with the brother of Cardinal Pole, they were both charged with high treason for promoting the interests of his cousin, Reginald Pole and Neville was sent to the Tower, tried at Westminster, and beheaded, 8 December at Tower Hill.
A patent was issued to Cromwell confirming his estate, possession and interest in the site of the late priory, of Mottenden, and the manors of Mottenden, Plushenden, Plomford, and Delmynden in Kent; the rectory of Lancing, Sussex, and all tithes thereto belonging; the advows/o the parish church of Lancing and the vicarage of the same church; a saltmarsh in Canwynden alias Derwishop, Essex; andall lands, &c., in the counties of Kent, Sussex, and Essex, late of John Gregory alias John Harietsham, late minister of the Trinitarian priory of Mottenden.
Sir Edward Neville was Esquire of the Body, and keeper of Sewer (official overseeing service) to King Henry VIII's Household. He lived at Addington Park, Kent, England. On 25 September 1513 he was invested as a Knight and in 1516 held the offices of Master of the Hounds and Gentleman of the Chamber.

William Hoge left Musselboro in about 1682. He sailed to New York on the “Caledonia”. This ship also carried family of Sir James Hume, from Paisley Scotland. His ancestral home was Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire. His father was a Baron and knight that traced his lineage back to the first Stuart King, Robert Bruce (1274–1329). The family was also related to the parent of David Hume (1711—1776), the Scottish philosopher. Sir James was true to his religion, and suffered persecution and imprisonment by the Stuarts. He was released with the understanding he would immigrate. Pestilence broke out on the overcrowded ship and James and his wife died at sea, leaving a 12 year old daughter, Barbara.
William Hoge became her protector and delivered her to her uncle in New York. William settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and married Barbara Hume in about 1684.

SIR RICHARD FORESTER, called in those days by his Latinized name of Forestarius. Sir Richard and his father, Baldwin IV, passed over to England with his brother-in-law, William the Conqueror, and received the honor of knighthood after the decisive battle of Hastings, being then in his sixteenth year, from whom sprung the Foresters of Etherston and Bamborough Castle in Northumberland, and the Blake Foresters of Ashfield and Knockmoy Abbey, County of Galway and Inchorey Castle, County of Clare.

"The Forster, Fenwick, Collingwood, the heroes of Renown, High in the ranks of Lord Percy, the war a.xe hewed down, The Percies in that vengeful fight, both were prisoners taken, But for the Douglas' dead body were 3-ielded up again."

The Forsters of Bamborough Castle were Lords of Blanchland in Northumberland, and for several generations they were Knights Bannerets, Lords Warden of the Middle Marches, High Sheriffs of Northumberland and hereditary Governors of Bamborough Castle from the reign of James I to that of George I. The Forsters of Etherston — the head of this house — from whom those of Bamborough descended, won their honors on the field of battle; and their descendants, of Huntdon (Hunsdon), by their profound skill in legal knowledge.

Snape castle was originally built c1430, when Ralph de Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland gave Snape to his younger son, George Neville, 1st Baron Latimer. The second Lord Latimer was still only a minor when he inherited and the castle was held for a short while by Richard III. The third Lord Latimer was the second husband of Catherine Parr, later Queen of England. The daughter of the fourth Lord Latimer married Sir Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter and the castle thus passed into the hands of the Cecil family.

Sir Thomas largely rebuilt the castle in the 16th century, adding the four towers, and transforming the building into an Elizabethan dwelling house. As the Cecils concentrated on their Burghley Park mansion Snape was left to deteriorate before being purchased by William Milbank in 1798. It was later divided into two domestic premises before being reunited as one home in 2003.

An atlas of York Co, Maine, published by Sanford, Everts & Co, of Philadelphia, in 1872, states, on p 108, that Samuel Dam came to Massabesic Plantation (now Waterboro) Maine, from Durham, New Hampshire, in 1780; but he was a resident there as early as 3 Sep 1778, as is shown in a deed of that date (York Co Deeds, Book 47, f 212).

Built the first inn, a sawmill, and a gristmill; was chairman of the building committee for the church at Waterboro (Old Corner); held many offices in the town. In 1782 he bought the water rights on the Little Ossipee River and built the mills at Washington Plantation, now Newfield Maine. For years this town was called Dam's Mills and the first post office bore this name. His brother Joseph first ran the mills for him.
His will, proved in Oct 1810, provided for his widow, left property and personal apparel to his sons, and certain dower rights, $100, and a good cow, to his daughters.
——
Samuel Dam, born in 1754 (probably at Dame's Point). He married Anna Nelson, Portsmouth, and they became early settlers in Waterboro, Maine, where he was a prosperous farmer, and also kept a public house, where many were entertained, who were on their way to make settlements in the Districts of Maine. Samuel Dam was a tall man, energetic, public spirited and a Christian citizen. He died in 1814, leaving three sons and four daughters.
His eldest son, Joseph Dam, born 17 Feb 1780; m. 2 Nov 1801, Sally Furlong, b. 13 Aug 1782; d. 26 June, 1842. They had twelve children, of whom the eleventh was named Cyrus King Dam, born 15 Nov 1818; m. 29 Dec. 1840, Charlotte Gould of Boston, a descendant from the Gould family of Rowley, MA
——-
At the time the mills at Washington Plantation were built, the land on the south side of Little Ossipee River was part of the town of Shapleigh, and it was not until June 1844 that the portion of the town between the present boundary with Newfield and the Little Ossipee River was annexed to Newfield. Hence members of the Dam family at Dam's Mills were either residents of Newfield or of Shapleigh, depending on the side of the river on which they resided.

Solomon was first recorded in Duxbury in 1637, and in May 1638 was "promised lands on Duxburrow side, (in part of those due to him for his service)." He probably arrived as an indentured servant about 1631. His father may have been named Samuel, and he probably was in Leyden before coming to Plymouth Colony. He moved to Bridgewater about 1649. He and Sarah had six children.

LEONARD, Solomon (I26725)

5638

Some believe that she was accused of witchcraft in Salem in 1692 because she was a niece of the Rev. Francis Dane of Andover. (Over one third of the Salem accused were related to him or his wife in some way.)
Martha's trial was fully transcribed at the direction of Cotton Mather, who believed this case to represent the strongest case for the use of spectral evidence. The evidence he found persuasive was the testimony of Martha's 16-year old-son, Richard, and her 12-year-old daughter, Sarah, that she made them become witches to "haunt" others at her direction. However, John Proctor (who was hung the same day as Martha) wrote the governor that he witnessed these children's torture in the jail where he was also imprisoned: they were reportedly tied neck to ankles (with a rope down their backs) and left that way until said what their interrogators wanted to hear.

ALLEN, Martha (I47287)

Some historians claim that Joseph never married while others claim that he married a Chickasaw Indian maid and went renegade by living among the Indians the rest of his life. Some historians believe that Joseph and Sukawanny had 10 sons and 2 daughters who all took Indian names and lived as Chickasaws.

Some question about the where and when of Betsey's death. She was in WI in 1850 and her last daughter Alice was born in WI in 1861. Sidney was living alone with daughter Alice in MI in 1880 and married Laura Davis in 1887.

The Douglas' have been traced to upper New York state and it is thought they are of the line of Deacon William Douglas, s/o Robert Douglas of Scotland, who emigrated to America in 1640. These Douglas have been traced back to 1175.

DOUGLAS, Elizabeth ”Betsy” (I21447)

Some sources state her name as Catherine WARREN, but this is incorrect. Cornelius was born in Warren, ME, so maybe this is the source of the confusion.

WALCOTT, Katherine (I673)

5643

Some time after finishing high school she became a school teacher and went to Spokane, WA. There were other folks from Princeton that had gone out to Washington state so she must have thought it was a good idea. She met and married Aaron Church there. She lied about her age on the marriage license as she was older than Aaron. Martha “Mattie” went to Calgary, Canada to become a night long distance clerk at the Telephone Company about 1909. Met Frank Farndell who worked at the Hotel across the street. He would come over to the telephone office to have coffee. Married in 1911. Re-entered the US at Blaine, WA on May 2, 1914 with baby Jean.
She often signed her name Mattie when she was younger but went by Martha in later life. Her first teacher in Princeton was Ida Fogg. Ida is a cousin. When her daughter Margaret started school there at age 6 she had the same teacher. However Margaret was there with her Aunt Rose Patterson after Uncle Aulger Rines died. Nana turned white in her 20’s but she always had her hair done at the beauty parlor. She was a very vain person. Maybe it had to do with the times. She lived near Hollywood and tried to emulate the movie stars. When nana became old she started to get a few black strands in her hair and was very upset. She pulled them till she couldn’t see to do it anymore. She had glaucoma and for many years used eye drops for control. However, she lost her peripheral vision and cataracts made her essentially blind by her death.

Sometime before Michaelmas 1198, Earl Richard and his wife Amice were separated by order of the Pope on grounds of consanguinity, by which date she took personal possession of the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, her marriage portion. The kinship was presumably due their common descent from Harleve of Falaise, mother of William the Conqueror, King of England, they being related in the 5th and 6th degrees of kindred though Harleve. They were apparently considered divorced by Trinity term 1200, when Amice was called former wife of the Earl of Clare. The issue of the validity of their marriage was presumably resolved, as Amice styled herself in later charters Countess of Clare. Regardless, they appeared to have been estranged at the time of Earl Richards death, as her charters make no mention of her husband, but only their son and heir, Gilbert.

Sometime between 1726 and 1747, during which time daughter Patience was born, parents William and Patience removed from Gloucester and traveled coastal north first to Falmouth, Cumberland, then by 1747 they had settled in Meduncook (now Friendship, Maine). This time frame is inferred from three events concerning their seven children. These events are as follows: 1) the first 3 (of 7) children with recorded births in Gloucester, the last of the three being March 18, 1725; 2) recorded death of a child (William) in 1726 in Falmouth; and 3) birth of Ebenezer in Meduncook in 1747. This family (along with extended family members) and their removal from Gloucester to Falmouth are also documented in Babson's work entitled ''History of the town of Gloucester, Cape Ann: including the town of Rockport'', Chapter XII: "Emigration to Falmouth, Me." Babson writes and quotes from the journal of a Reverend as follows: "Under 1726, he [Rev. Thomas Smith] says [in his journal], 'This summer, there came from Cape Ann one Davis,--a pretty troublesome spark,--with his family; also one of his wife's brothers, no better than he; also one Haskell, a sober sort of a man, with his family'....William Davis's wife was Patience Foster..." Rev. Thomas Smith's journal entry locates this family in Falmouth by Summer 1726.

Patience, named after her mother, married Cornelius Bradford in 1760 in Meduncook. There they would have 14 children including: Elcy b. 1762; Joshua b. 1764; Elizabeth (aka "Betsey") b. abt. 1766; Hannah b. abt. 1766; Josephus b. 1768; Sarah b. 1768; Sylvia b. 1772; Mehitable b. 1773 (died young); Prudence b. 1774; Winslow b. 1777; Lydia b. 1780; Frederick b. 1782; James b. abt. 1784; and Cornelius Jr. b. about 1786 (cast away on Grand Manan Island and perished).

Cornelius passed away in 1790, about four years after their last child was born. Patience Bradford is listed as "Head of Household" in Meduncook Plantation's 1800 Federal Census, which enumerated three household members: 1 female over 45 (Patience); 1 male age 16-25 (likely son James); and 1 female age 16-25 (likely daughter Lydia).

Patience passed away after 1800 in Friendship, 1800 being the last known reference to her residence as documented in the 1800 Federal Census.

Camden Woman Has Had Real Adventure At Sea
Mrs. Kate Sherman Remembers When Maine Ships Sailed To The Seven Seas
By Oscar Shepard
CAMDEN, Sept. 9 ---- Mrs. Kate Sherman of Camden --- who will be 90 in October, although the fact is hard to believe ---- has remembered through long and sometimes exciting years a night in August, 1883.
She had been on a voyage to Japan with her husband, the Late Justin Sherman, a famous shipmaster in those fondly remembered days when Maine-built ships found their way to the Seven Seas. They were returning to Manila and were two days out from the Straits of Sunda in the Indian Ocean. Mrs. Sherman had gone below but was called to the deck by her husband's cry:
"Come up and Look! It's like a thick snowstorm."
A strange phenomenon met her eyes -- a phenomenon that for a half century has been burned into her memory. A moving curtain that extended from sea to heavens almost blotted out the moon, and a strange gray substance, unlike anything they knew, was covering the deckhouse and decks. They spread newspapers, and for seven hours it fell upon the vessel.
Mrs. Sherman has a bottle of this gray rain in her Camden home, and it is one of her cherished possessions. For it was really volcanic ash from the island of Krakatoa.
A modern newspaper clipping recalls the story:
"Krakatoa was a volcanic isle in the Sunda Straits. 'Was because in August of 1883 it blew itself off the map. Experts are responsible for these figures:
"Thirty-six thousand persons were killed. Lava, pumice and debris were tossed 17 miles into the upper air. The sound of the explosion was heard in Africa, 3000 miles away. Tidal waves 50 feet high smashed outward and even were noted in the English Channel! And dust and ash from the volcano actually circled the entire globe, darkening the sun and causing the earth to suffer an unusually bitter winter season. Such is the story of Krakatoa."
Therefore, Capt. and Mrs. Sherman, and the crew had been on the outer edge of a great tragedy. Remember, they were on a sailing vessel and were but two days from Sunda Straits.
Here is a thought, if we can find words to make it plain:
This pleasant lady who at 89 is so alert physically and mentally, and who lives in the present as well as in the past, is the symbol of a golden era. An era when Maine's sons went down to the sea in ships, and these ships sailed to the world's far places. An era when captains' wives often braved long voyages and unknown perils - as did Mrs.Sherman - or waited with serene courage for their loved ones to return. An era strangely in contrast with the mechanical, literal background of today. A golden era, truly that lives only in fading memory.
Mrs. Sherman is the daughter of Elbridge Carleton but was brought up by Samuel D. Carleton of Carleton, Norwood & Co., Rockport shipbuilders, who sent 62 ships down the ways. She was married in Rockport in 1869.
The sea was her heritage. It was in her blood. She was only 13 when she made her first voyage, on the Kate Carleton, to the West Indies:and her honeymoon voyage ended in a dramatic wreck.
She had sailed with Capt. Sherman on the two-masted brig Fred Bliss to Lisbon in Portugal and Cadez in Spain. The trip was almost ended and the Fred Bliss, salt in her hold, casks of Spanish wine between her decks, was off Swampscott, Mass. She was running by dead reckoning in the driving storm when the lookout shouted: "Breakers ahead!"
A moment later the crash came. The crew, in frenzied haste, cut away the first mast, and it fell clear. The second mast fouled, turning the brig on her beam-ends upon the rocks.
Then came drama --- the sheer drama with which Maine’s coastal history is filled. Drama, but not tragedy. All escaped safely, Mrs. Sherman has a memory of crawling to the deck, of being lashed to the rail, and later of being lowered to the rocks down the brig's ice-coated side.
Then the ships company, chilled to the bone, the storm driving about them, sought some haven of safety. They found a summer cottage but it was locked and deserted
"i wish", said the captain, grimly, "we had the axe with which we cutaway that mast."
"It's here", said the mate, unexpectedly. "I brought it along."
So they were able to smash through one of the shutters. But later they went to a caretaker's cottage, where a coal fire gave warmth.
Next morning they returned to the wreck. The storm had abated. They ran a plank from the rocks to the brig and began the work of salvage. Among Mrs. Sherman's possessions were three canaries, which she brought ashore.
A little later she had her first experience, not altogether a happy one, with newspapermen. Reporters were there from Boston. Her husband was in Lynn, where he had gone to make a formal report of the wreck, and she told them the story. Surprisingly, one of the papers graphically described how she had crossed on the plank in the snow and wind, the cage of canaries at her side. She has been vaguely suspicious of reportorial accuracy since then.
One other interesting fact:
The brig's hold, as has been said, was filled with salt. When a hole smashed in her bow, the salt ran out. This lightened the load and the crippled ship was driven upon the rocks where salvage and rescue were easy, instead of sliding off into deep water.
For four years following the wreck, Capt. Sherman remained ashore. But there is a siren note in the call of the sea; and this call became clearer and more compelling, after every launching from the Carleton-Norwood yards. Finally he could stand it no longer and went to Bangor, whence he sailed for Liverpool on a vessel loaded with deals.
For years, Sherman was master of the three-masted "Raphael". Often Mrs. Sherman accompanied him on long voyages which took them two or three times to England, to Japan and China and other Eastern ports.They sailed past the Solomon and Aleutian Islands, now so prominent in the news dispatches, but did not land there. The Raphael weathered hurricanes and ordinary storms. Often they knew the drama of the sea--but tragedy did not touch them.
Mrs. Sherman has pleasant memories of Japan, which then was most unlike the sadistic nation of today. And she tells some delightful, whimsical little stories of her visits there: of "Chop Dolls", the faithful rickshaw boy who served her; of the shopkeeper who on Christmas insisted that she take from his stock a gift of her own choosing, "Because you know, missy", he explained, "one very good man was born today". The Japanese, like the Chinese, seemed to her kindly people. But the world was younger then -- younger and happier.
At one point in the brief talk Mrs. Sherman herself asked a question:
"How old do you think I am?"
"About 90", the reporter answered.
But that was because he happened to know. Otherwise, he would have answered, "Between 65 and 70", and been sincere in saying so.
Few women in Maine have such picturesque things to remember. Few so personify as has been said, an age that has passed. But she is also of the living and vital present. For a long time she has knitted an average of a sweater each week for the soldier boys; and many might envy her flying needles. Beloved in Camden, she has long been active in the affairs of St. Thomas Episcopal church, of which the Rev. William E. Berger is rector.
She will be 90 on Oct. 14. St Thomas church has another active parishioner, Miss Annie Fletcher, who is three weeks younger.
There are many fascinating stories along the coast of Maine.

On the same page is a picture of a wrecked boat on rocks with an inset on the upper left of a 4 masted ship. The caption is as follows:

OUT OF THE PAST --- Wreck of the brig Fred Bliss off Swampscott, April 3, 1870. The brig was commanded by Capt. Sherman; and Mrs. Sherman, who lives in Camden, was aboard. (Inset) The Frederick Billings, 2,682 tons, built at Rockport, Maine, by Carleton Norwood & Co., in 1885. She was the second four-masted ship in the United States and the largest square-rigger ever built on the Penobscot. Her end was tragic. Loaded with nitrate in Chile, in 1893, she was set fire by crew, exploded, and sank in 20 minutes. All hands were saved by boats from other vessels in the harbor.

Started teaching in a one-room schoolhouse at age 17; graduated from Iowa State at Ames, roomed for a period of time with Carrie Chapman Catt (women's suffrage leader, co-founder of the League of Women Voters). Lived in Greece, Chicago and Northfield with her daughter Ruth and family (1932-1946).
She was about 4'11" tall, an intelligent, articulate, perceptive, gentleand strong-minded woman.
Of the many stories she used to tell us, one I remember is about the Civil War. She and her sister Tinnie speculated about what they would do if any Rebel soldiers ever appeared on their farm. They decided the thing to do would be to throw pepper in their eyes!
