Professor of Church History Campbellsville University From the turn of the nineteenth century to the dawn of the Civil War there were perhaps as many as one hundred women who served as preachers and evangelists throughout the United States.1 The majority of these ministers served in smaller denominations such as Free Will Baptists, Quakers,the Christian Connection Church,2and other less established denominations. Primarily, these women came from the lower classes, had little education, spoke in country churches to small audiences, and were rarely flamboyant. To appear more acceptable, most of these women were married andrarely travelled alone. For these reasons, scant records exist concerning their accomplishments and scholarship has only briefly discussed them. Though scholars have written little about her, Harriet Livermore was the exception to many of these norms. Harriet Livermore was born on April 14, 1788, in Concord, New Hampshire, to the Honorable Edward St. Loe Livermore and Mehitable Harris.3Prominent in both state and national politics, the Livermore family were New England blue bloods. Her father served as the U.S. District Attorney in the presidency of George Washington(1794-1797), Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court (1797-1799), and as United States senator from 1807 to 1811.4In 1802 he moved to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where he served as their representative to Congress from 1807 to 1811.

Several years ago the author became interested iu the history of his own ancestry, and commenced gathering such information as was available in regard to it. Town, county, church, and probate records were searched for in- formation in regard to the Currier family. Local histories were read for information in regard to the places where the members of the family lived. Much information was also obtained irom members of the family and from family records. At first there was no intention of publishing the mater- ial collected, but as more and more iniorraation became available the author was urged by other members of the family to arrange and publish what he had collected. The present volume is the result of this request, and it is hoped that it will prove of interest not only to the present but also to the future generations of the Currier family. The plan of the book will, it is believed, be easily understood. Beginning with Richard Currier of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass., and his descendants of the second and third generations, the work has been carried sufficient- ly far to enable any of the present generation to trace back their relationship. The object of the author has been to preserve all the important facts which can be gathered in regard to the family.

Manning Oil portrait by Sidney F. Dickenson, 1931 Frank Pierce Carpenter (1846-1938) was born in Chichester, New Hampshire. He graduated from high school in Concord then moved to Manchester where he spent the rest of his life. As a young man he was involved in the grain business. In 1885 he purchased the Amoskeag Paper Company, located at the north end of the Amoskeag Millyard, which became his primary business pursuit. Mr. Carpenter was treasurer of the Mechanics Savings Bank and a director of the Amoskeag National Bank. He was also active on the boards of insurance companies and other corporations and was a director of the Boston & Maine Railroad. Mr. Carpenter is recognized as Manchester’s greatest philanthropist. He used his influence and wealth to benefit social, civic and cultural organizations. He gave generously to many Manchester organizations, and served on nonprofit boards. He had a particular interest in architecture. He served on the building committees for the Currier Gallery of Art (now the Currier Museum of Art) for the construction of its original 1929 building; the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Company for the construction of its 1915 building on Hanover Street (now Fuller Hall of the New Hampshire Institute of Art), and the 1932 post office building on Hanover Street (now the offices of Devine Millimet law firm).
