This book is rare, probably because the family suppressed it due to the errors it con­ tains. It should, therefore, be used with great caution.

THIS book is printed privately and makes no pretense of being a genealogy of any family but is intended to preserve in print genealogical notes compiled dming many years of desultory research, among wills, deeds, county, town, church and private records and genealogies. Miss Emily Wilder Leavitt has helped in the compilation and arranged the contents for publication.

HE extreme northeastern part of New England, T with its bay-indented sea-coast extending the whole length of its southern sliores, with its vast forests, the haunts of wild beasts, was known as early as 1602 by the adventurous sea rovers whose embel­ lished stories brought attention to the possibilities of the wealth to be gained by exploration. One of its ear­ liest visitors, Captain W aymouth, in 1606, came "not on a business venture but with those interested in the permanent settlement, who desired further knowledge of the fertility of the soil, the products, both mineral and vegetable, its rivers and harbours." By this time a lively interest had sprung up, and so many patents had been applied for, that between the ~atent of Acadia, November, 1603, and that of Muscongus, March, 1629/30, some two-score Patents and Char­ ters had been granted. As early as 1620, King James gave a charter to the Northern Company of England, this composing "A Council established at Plymouth, County Devon, for planting and governing in the New England coun­ try." The original grant of the Province of Maine, ( 11) 12 THE DEERING LINES

August 16, 1620, by the great Council of' Eng1and to Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain John Mason, is in the Colonial Entry Book, vo1ume 59, pages 101- 108, in the Pub1ic Record Office at London, the name "Province of Maine " being used there for the first time, and from that was given in the Royal Charter issued to Gorges in 1639.*

Ju1y 15, 1625, the sagamores Captain John Somer­ set and U ngoit "being the proper heirs of aU the lands on both sides the Muscongus river have bar­ gained and sold to John Brown. of New Harbor [Pemaquid], a parcel of land beginning at Pemaquid Falls, running a direct course to the head of New Harbor, thence to the south end of Muscongus Is­ land, taking in that island, so running five and twenty mi1es into the country north by east, then eight mi1es west by south to Pemaquid, where it first begun, in consideration of fifty skins paid by John Brown."t On December 1, 1631, King Charles gave the Tre- 1awney Patent, in part as follows: The Trelawney Patent granted by the Great Coun­ cil for New England: this Indenture made the ffirst daie of December Ano Dom 1631 and in the Seaventh Y eare of the Raigne of our Souraigne Lord Charles . . . . betweene the President and Councell of New England of the one Parte and Robert Trelawney of Plymouth in the Countie of Devon Marchant, Moyes

Goodyeare of Plymouth aforesaid, Marchant, and theire .Associates on the other Parte . . . . This In­ denture [ witnesseth] that the said President and Councell of New England by virtue and Authorite of said Letters of Patent for and in consideration That the said Robert Trelawney Moses Goodyear and Associates have adventured and expended greate somes of money in the Discovery of the Coasts and Hai'l1ours of those parts and are minded to undergo a further charge in settling a Plantacion in the ¥aine land: .... the said Councell have granted all those lands and hereditaments w'th .Appurtenances scituate lying and being along the Sea Coast Eastwards be­ tweene the land before mencioned to be granted to the said Captain Thomas Cammock his heirs, .A.sso.; ciates and assignes, And the Bay and River of Casco, extending and to be extended Northwards.

This Patent set forth the obje9t of the grant; that they should receive a right to fifteen hundred acres at Black Point in Maine for the purpose of fishing, fowling, searching for mines, minerals, hawking, hunt­ ing, the exercise of any lawful tra,de, ".A.rte or Mistery of anie kind," the king reserving to himself the right to have his broad arrow on any and every tree which would serve as a mast for the i·oyal navy, exacting the payment of one fifth-part of all accruments.*

June 26, 1630, the Lygonia g11ant was· issued to a Company of Familists who named the charter in honor

* Extract-Trelawney Papers; Maine Historical ·society, 2d S., III: pp. 3, 6. 14 THE DEERING LINES

of Cicely Ligon, Sir Ferdinanclo Gorges' mother. They sailed from England in the ship Plough, whence the patent came to be termed The Plough Patent. After their arrival in the new province the survivors of this Company sold their right in the Province of Lygonia, 1643, to Sir Alexander Rigley.

·The Black Point Patent was issued to Thomas Cammock, a nephew of the Earl of Warwick. This embraced a tract of fifteen hundred acres on the east side· of the Black Point river; later it was named Nonsuch. December 2, 1631, Richmond's Island, off Casco Bay, covering some fifteen frundred acres, was granted to Walter Bagnall. At. this date, on Cape Porpoise, projected ,from Black Point, John Stratton received a grant of two thousand acres, covering the south side of the river or creek, running northwards on the opposite side, including the south side of the harbor's mouth, where John Stratton purposed to set a plantation, later styled Stratton's Island. Black Point received its name from the heavy forest which shadowed it, while, as a distinguishing title, the op~ posite point was called Blue Point.*

January 18, 1632, Robert Trelawney and Moses Goodyear gave a power of attorney to John Winter, a mariner living in Plymouth, England, who was to act as their agent in the formation and government of their new possessions, in conjunction with Thomas Pomery. The reports show that Robert Trelawney

* Maine Historical Society, 2d S., III: pp. 10, 133, 13'7, 152, 162-4. GEORGE DE.ARING 15

was in his own home at Plymouth, where he made the arrangements and took the contracts with the men who wished to have parts in the project assigned them, and kept a close interest in the work. A company of shipwrights and other trade workers was sent out in the ship Hercules, before John Win­ ter set sail, and among these earliest men appears the name of George Dearing. John Winter and his crew, arriving after the works bad been started, be­ gan a :fishing and lumber station, as well as ship building. Among the men who signecl the contract at Mr. Robert Trelawney's residence was George Dearing, as John Winter, in one of his reports to Mr. Tre­ lawney, made in 1637, writes that" George Dearing, the house ·carpenter, takes the time for the beginning of his three years' service to begin the :first day he came to your house and he will stay no longer to make out the three years." Again, John Winter wrote " George Dearing is gone from us, and says his time is out; he went from the Plantation the 10th of July, 1637, I know not whither." This statement shows that George Dearing was at Mr. Tretawney's house in July, 1634, and was, naturally, in adult years, since he had :finished his ap­ prenticeship. On July 10, 1639, Mr. Winter wrote: "the last year, .George Dearing promised to saw some planks for ships, and be was to saw- it be­ tween Michaelmas and Christmas; but he never came since." *

* Maine Historical Society, 2d S., III: pp. 119, 120. 16 THE PEERING-· LfltES

The earliest settlers at Black Point were Captain Richard Bonython, who had married a daughter of Richard Foxwell, a dweller at the Point in 1636, and Henry Watts. George Dearing must have arrived here very soon after leaving Mr. Winter, as he is mentioned as coming there in 1637 with Nicholas Edgecomb, the latter from Mount Edgecomb, Eu:­ gland, whose father, Sir Richard Edgecomb, had received from Sir Ferdinando Gorges a grant of eight thous;:md acres.

In a deposition made :1t York County Court in the case of Tyler vs. Burnam, in 1658/59, the JudgeS' being Robert Jordan and Henry J osl~,

This Depon~nt saith that about Thirteen or £fourteen years ago, Mr. Thomas Gorges being Deputy Governour gave the Deponent orders to put George Dea1ing in possession of Two Hundred acres of land by the place where Jonas Bayley, who married the widow of George Dearing, now liveth,. but the Deponent never did, and £further saith not. Taken before me 10th ffebruary 1658, ROBERT J ORDA.N. *

But before petitioning for this land grant, George D~aring had secured a lot and built his house, estab­ lishing his r.esidence before 1640, since, on August 3,, 1640, he appeared at York County Court to· prefer charges against Richard Tucker, while on the eightli of the same month, he was one of the sµ.reties in be­ half of Oliver Weeks.

The last of June, 1645, George Dl:laring, living at Black Point, present and sworn at Court, saith that at t}le same tin+e [May 20, 1645] when Jolin Sajth, Michael Mitton and Henry Watts lgtd deposeq. bf:lfol,'e Georg:e Cleves and Richard Tuckf:Jr, who presided ~t tJ:i.e Coµrts, we heard many pieces shot about Stratton's Island and upon fi.µther inquiry, he understood that it was a drunken bout between Captain Robert Nash [who was on a trading voyage from Boston] and the Islanders, which put him and his wife and their neighbours into such a fright that they ~bought the French or other enemy had been at hand. *

William Smith, who went to Black Point "in 1646, deposed at a Court held in 1670, that when he went to Blue Point to live, he found four plantations there, that of Richard Foxwell, Henry Watts, George Dear­ ing and Nicholas Edgecomb, whicq. serves to prove that between the time of John Winter's letters to Mr. Trelawney, 1637-9, George Dearing was possessed of sufficient capital to secure a tract of land near the sea-coast, where he had built a house, thus counting him amongst the four earliest proprietors of the ter­ ritory which is now the town of Scarborough, York county, "whose earliest inhabitants appear to have given particular attention to agriculture, and to have been chiefly occupied in the improvement of their land." t

George Dearing married Elizabeth --; he died some time before 1658/59, and she married (2) Jonas Bayley, their near neighbor. In his will of N ovem-

• Massachusetts Archives, XXXVIIIe: p. 43. t History of Scarborot1gh,"•pp; 24; 25·, 18 THE DEERING LINES ber 11, 1663, Jonas Bayley ordered that he should be buried in the orchard near his wife Elizabeth, who is shown by the deposition in 1658/59, as the widow of George Dearing, to have been married to Jonas Bayley before that date. In the same will, Jonas Bayley makes his wife Ellner (widow of John Jack­ son) his sole executrix, thus betokening his second marriage. The scant existing records appear to show that George and Elizabeth Dearing had two sons,

GEORGE DEARING, ROGER .DEARING, and these are so accepted by historical students of the times. PART TWO

CHAPTER ONE

ROGER DEARING

HE next record of this surname, Dearmg as 1t T was invariably written on all York county books, was July 22, 1673, at a County Court session, when George Dearing appeared before a Court of Summons in behalf of Roger Dearing, who was held on a com­ plaint of "his not going home to his wife." Since this George Dearing gave bonds for the further appear­ ance of Roger Dearing, the reasonable inference is . that these two men were brothers, - sons of the only other man of the name (who had died before 1658), by his ,wife Elizabeth- and that the one who bore his father's name was the elder. George Dearing's name was not found on any other record.

In 1671, Roger Dearing was one of those settlers who were registered as residing on the west side of the Kennebec, as well as one Henry Dering, who shortly was of Piscataqua (Portsmoi.1th, N. H.), and also as a resident of Boston, Mass. In 1672, Roger Dearing was one of the administrators of the estate of Joseph Pearson; in 1673, at a session of Summons Court, he stated that he was a shipwright. Then he removed from Black Point, took a grant of land at ( 21) 22 THE DEERING LINES

Kittery, York county, Me., whereon he built a house and laid out a ship-yard. The place and time of his marriage was not on record, and only the given name of his wife, Mrs. Joan (Dearing).

Roger2 Dearing diecl at Kittery, June 26, 1676, ancl his son, Lieutenant Roger Dearing, presented the in­ ventory of his deceased father's estate at probate; among other effects were " one new house not yet finished, one old house, the frame of a ketch, some acres of land with 'a sel1er at the Point,' a horse, a cow, a yearling bull."* His widow, Mrs. Joan Dear­ ing, married (2), at a time not ascertained, Wi11iam Crafts, who had purchasecl a tract of land at Brau Boat Harbor, on .April 18, 1683. Mrs. Joan Craft receivecl a license to keep an ordinary at Kittery, in 1694. With Roger3 Dearing, she was a witness in a case in 1695/96. On June 13, 1703, she gave a cleedt to her son Joseph Dearing, of "all her house ancl land at Kittery Point, with two acres adjoining the house." January 27, 1727/28, Ebenezer More ancl George Berry testified that, in .April, 1720, they appraised the estate of Mr. Joseph Dearing, then de­ ceased, and went to the house at Kittery near the meeting-house, where Mr. William Craft formerly lived and where Sarah Hix then lived, and she said that this estate belonged to Joseph Dearing, but ought to be hers: further they deposed that the said Mrs. Joan Craft possessed and livecl in the house thirty-three or

* York Deeds, III: p. 121. t In this deed Rog{lr spelled the name Derent but signed Deareing. York Deeds, IV: p. 145. ROGER DEARING 23

four years since, and continued there until her death, about fourteen years since. "January 20, 1727 /28, Mary Dearing, aged about seventy-eight years, saith that about thirty-three years last past, she well remembered Mrs. Joan Crafts lived in a house and had farmed about two acres of land at Kittery Point, which was the house where John Hix and his mother, Sarah Hix, now liveth, and, about fourteen years last past, said Crafts died in possession of said house and land, and that, several times in the said Crafts' life-time, I was enter­ tained by her in that house and since the death of said Crafts it hath been reputed to be the estate of Joseph Dearing, ancl I never heard of any other per-. sons claim rights or title to the same." ·X- These de­ positions show that Mrs. Joan (Dearing) Crafts died in 1713-14. Roger and Joan Dearing had children born in Kit- tery: i. ROGER DEARING, who married Mary --. ii. THO:AIAS DEARING, who married Elizabeth --. iii. JOSEPH DEARING, who married Mary Bray. iv. CLE:i\IENT DEARING, who married Joan Bray. v. JOANNA DEARING, who married Joseph, son of William Couch. In a deed dated l\iarch 20, 1662/3, given by Joseph, son of William Conch of Cornwall, England, was an indenture with John and Johan Bray, of Ply­ mouth, England (showing Joseph Conch's native place). After Joseph Conch's death, the inventory of his estate was rendered by his widow, Mrs. Catherine Couch, which provecl that bis first wife, Joanna, died before that date and that he had married a second time.

LIEUTENANT ROGER DEARING

3 1 RoGER DEARING, son of Roger ( George ) and Joan Dearing, as "Lieutenant Roger Dearing," was named as executor of his father's estate, July 31, 1681. Jhly 26, 1695, John and Joan Ameridith, with Roger Dearing and Joseph Couch, all of Kittery, gave a deed in which John and Joan Ameridith sold fifty acres of land in Kittery by the Stepping Stones, by Digory Jeffery's land, that of Clement Dearing, and by John Bray's fence.* January 26, 1690/91, John Americ1ith drew his will, in which he mentioned his wife Joan (Treworgy), his son and daughter Joh;n and Joanna Alcock, his " cozen " John Shapleigh, and his own house at Plymouth, England. February 27, 1706/7, Roger3 Dearing, senior, gave a deed to his son-in-law, Robert Mitchell, for four · acres of land which lay by that of Clement Dearing. March 23, 1709/10, together with his brother-in-law,

* York Deeds, IV: p. 145. LIEUTENANT ROGER DE.ARING 25

Joseph Couch, he gave a deecl- to his own brother, Thomas Dearing, of land which had been conveyed to him by John Ameridith, bounded in part by J olm Bray's land. February 5, 1713/14, Roger Dearing, shipwright, with his wife Mrs. Mary Dearing, sold to Joseph Conch the tract where the house of Joseph's father formerly stood. March 10, 1713/14, he gave a deed to his daughter Martha, wife of William Rack­ liff, of land lying at Kittery Point. January 15, 1698/99, Henry Dering, trader, of Boston, for the sum of one pound sterling, took a mortgage deed* from Roger Dearing for his house and land at Kittery.

Roger Dearing's will, drawn in February, 1717/18, is as follows: ·

Whereas I, Roger Dearing being very sick but in my right Sences I first Com.it my Soul to God that gave it knowing not how Soon he may be pleased to take me out of this world I now make this my Last Will to Settle my Estate by reason I would have no disturbance with my children when I am decl I give my Son Roger Dearing all my Land & Estate & houses whatever Except the rome I now live in that I give my daughter Margm-y Scammon to her own disposing I give allso two acres of land to my daughter Sarah Mitchell where the turnip yard is.

THOMAS DEARING

3 1 THOM.A.S DE.A.RING, son of Roger (G-eorge ) and Joan Dearing, was probably born at Kittery, where he resided and followed the family occupation of ship­ building. He received from the town of Kittery at a town meeting which was held May 16, 1694, a grant of a tract of land of ten acres. May 24, 1699, the­ town clerk, Joseph Hammond, assigned these ten acres, together with thirty acres, to Thomas Dearing. January 17, 1721/22, Thomas Dearing, wife Elizabeth signing away her dower right, sold all these acres to Rev. Jeremiah Wise of Berwick.* Thomas Dearing married some time in 1690; he died at Kittery before ·October 25, 1727; his widow drew her will as follows : In the Name of God Amen the twenty Eighth day of July Afio Domini One Thousand Seven Hundred. and Thirty Seven I Elizabeth Dearing of Kittery in the County of York Wid- . dow being aged and weak of Body but of Perfect Mind and Memory Thanks be given unto God therefore Calling into mind the Mortality of my Body do make and ordain this my last Will and Testn,ment that is to say Principally and :first of all I give and Recommend my Soul into the hands of God that gave it and my Body I recommend to the Earth. to be Buried in decent Christian burial att the discretion of my Executrix believing att the Generali Resurection I shall re­ ceive the same again by the mighty Power of God and as touching such Worldly Estate as hath pleased God to Bless

This became Clement's homestead whereon he built his house, and whither he carried his wife Joan, daughter of John and Joan Bray. He died before 1701, as, in a 'deed dated December 7, 1701, Mrs. Joan Dearing stated that she, a widow of Clement Dearing, was one of the administrators of her father, John Bray's estate. The same. year she received a license to keep an ordinary in her house at Spruce Creek, Kittery. It is evident that she went to England in regard to John Bray's estate, as, on the passenger list of the ship Hannah and Elizabeth, Lott Gourding (master), "were the names of John Jackson and his wife, Clement, Sarah and Agnes Jackson, Mrs. Joan Dearing, Sarah Dearing and Joseph Dearing; these eight persons agreed with Captain Manning and J olm Jackson for £30 passage money from Dartmouth to New England, John Jack­ son doing his labor on the ship," * Joseph Dearing taking an active interest in the disposal of the estate on his wife's account. Mrs. Joan (Bray) Dearing's will was as follows: In the name of Goel Amen. The twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord god One thousand Seven Hundred and Seven, I Joan Dearing of

His birth, on November 2, 1798, was en­ tered on Saco town records as James Dearing, but later he gave his name as Deering, the first enti•y of the present rendition of the name, while that part of Saco in which he was born was, later, incorporated as Old Orchard, Me. He was a man of good native talents, keen obser­ vation, ready to take advantage of circumstances. While on a visit with one of his brothers in the beau­ tiful town of South Paris, Me., as he saw its rapid ,JAMES (DE.A.RING) DEERING 67

river and noted its swift current and the force of its clear water, he realized that it would afford a supply for a great water power. This decided bis settlement at South Paris, where he built a place for a turning lathe close to the river bank and began cabinet work and a chair manufactory; this led to bis building mills, buying adjacent lands, investing in real estate, and then in house building, of which he erected seven be­ fore his own, - the final one. With all this he inter­ ested himself in the improvement of civic affairs, and was a devoted member of the church. He married at South Paris, March 24, 1823, Eliza, daughter of Elisha and Elizabeth (Morse) Moore; she was born at Southborough, Mass., April 25, 1801. "James and Eliza (Moore) Deering, were as gentle, lovable souls as ever mated, and their uneventful lives in a country village a blessed example of sweetness and light that would have shone in high places. Mr. Deering was one of the most genial and kincDy of men, and well fitted to cope with a larger world than that in which he lived." -r.• Mrs. Deering died from the effect of au accident, November 27, 1890, aged 89 years, 7 months, 2 clays. Mr. Deering died in the fullness of years at the ven­ erable age of 99 years, 3 months, on February 5, 1898.

WILLIAM DEERING

W ILLIAM8 DEERING, son of James ( Joseph,6 John,5 2 1 John,4 Thomas,3 Roge1', George ) and Eliza (Moore) Deering, was born at South Paris, Me., April 25, 1826. He was educated at the local schools and at the Readfield Seminary, Me. He had begun the study of medicine under the celebrated Doctor Bar­ rows of Fryeburg, when his father, in charge of the woolen mill at Paris, needing his assistance, he post­ poned the study of medicine, as he then supposed for a year. This was the beginning of a long business career that has proved a very successful one of ex­ ceptionally far-reachii1g result. Among the various business pursuits that Mr. Deering has followed was large dealing in lands of what was then the far and sparsely settled west. With a far-sightedness that is characteristic of the 72 THE DEERING LINES man, lie early foresaw a great future for these fertile lands, and; for several years, dealt heavily in them, particularly in those in Illinois and Iowa. His wife's failing health caused him to abandon the business and return with her to Maine. Later, with Mr. Seth M. Milliken, he founded the woolen-goods commission house of Deering, Milliken & Company, of Portland, Boston and New York, now under Mr. Milliken, the largest house of its kind in the country. In the early seventies, his health being somewhat impaired, he had retired from active business when, almost by accident, he entered into what proved to be his main life work. The prairies of the west were then better known than twenty yea,rs before, and set­ tlers were taking up the lands and planting them to wheat and other grains. The yield was great but the harvesters were few; For years attempts had been made to reap grain by horse-drawn machinery and, early in the thirties, Obed Hussey, born in Maine in 1792, had invented the principle of cutting machin­ ery that was successful, and is to-clay the basis of all harvesting machinery. In 1873, reaping machines for grain and mowing machines for grass were in use, and railways were following the reaping machine as fast as the western lands could be rendered pro­ ductive. This machine cut the grain and laid it in gavels automatically and men on foot followed, bind­ ing the sheaves. A few years previous, two brothers, Charles W. anclWallace W. Marsh of Sycamore, Ill., had devised a machine that cut and elevated the grain to two men who 1~ode on the machine and bound the grain into WILLIAJ.YI DEERING 73 bundles that they threw to the ground, where it was piled into shocks. This machine was bitterly op­ posed by the numerous manufacturers of the reaper. Those interested in the new device had little money, and their opponents were mostly rich, prosperous and firmly established; it had been an uphill and dis­ couraging fight for the Marsh brothers and their backers. Mr. Deering had lent a considerable sum of inoney to a friend who had an interest in the manufacture and sale of these machines, and the friend's ill-health necessitating a rest, he asked Mr. Deering to super­ intend the business for three months in the summer of 1873. . This was a turning point in the argricultural machine business. Mr. Deering, with his knowledge of th.e western country and its needs, foresaw what a saving oflabor and growth of the country this machine foreshadowed, if it could be perfected. Neither inventor, nor mechanic himself, he em­ ployed the best of both; the machine was improved and soon was being manufactured in great numbers; aU of the manufacturers of reapers being compeUed to imitate it and follow in its manufacture. But still the supply of labor was inadequate for the fast in­ creasing farms, and it became Mr. Deering's object to replace the human binders with automatic ones. This, under his direction, was accomplished success­ fully by a wire binder; but there were objections to wire, and, in his shops was perfected a binder using twine; but there was no suitable twine manufactured, until through Mr. Deering's persuasions, Mr. Edwin H. Fitler of Philadelphia, a large manufacturer of 74 THE DEERING LINES rope, after much experimenting, succeeded in spinning a single strand twine from manila. This was the small beginning of what is now a very large industry, and the twine thus produced, after the other leading man­ ufacturers had declined to undertake its production as chimerical, and, as wanted for a machine, probably impractical, now binds the grains of the civilized world and render possible the gathering of its enor­ mous crops. Certainly, no other men have done so much to make bread cheap as Hussey, the Marsh brothers and William Deering. From the time of the success of the twine binder, all other agricultural implement makers imitated it and followed in its manufacture. As soon as Mr. Deering became familiar with his new business, he became the leader of the other makers. Spurred on by him, his engineers improved the machines of the day and devised new ones. Wrought iron and steel replaced cast iron and wood, weight and draft were reduced, and endurance and life prolonged, and it may be said that of all manufacturers, the farming world is most indebted to him for the progress made after the clay of the primitive reapers. Mr. Deering early saw the possibilities of the ex­ plosion engine, and in 1900, exhibited at the Paris Exposition the first motor-mower ever made, and there, for bis services to agriculture, he was made an Officer of the Legion of Honor by the French gov­ ernment. Age and health prevented Mr. Deering from per­ sonally overseeing the development of the motor­ tractor that probably this year of 1913 will see with. WILLIAM DEERING 75 one man guiding it, drawing a wide-cut harvester and binder, cutting and binding one hundred acres. of wheat in a day; thus doing the work of one hun­ cfred men at the time of his birth. At the end of his business life, Mr. Deering saw in his employ many thousand men, and many more thousands as agents for his machinery, and the business extended to all parts of the world where grain is grown. His com­ pany had provided for the futm'e with its own iron mines, blast furnaces and steel mills, with vast coking coal fields and still more extensive timber tracts for­ ested on scientific principles to provide for an indefi­ nite future, and for years the company had made its own large supply of binder twine. Mr. Deering's unusually active business life has not prevented interest in matters of public welfare, and he has been interested largely in educational and worthy charities. He was many years President of the Board of Trustees of the Northwestern U niver­ sity, and also of the allied Garrett Biblical Institute, and he is the founder of the Wesley Hospital in Chi­ cago. For nearly forty years Mr. Deering's home has been at Evanston, near Chicago, while he has a winter home in Southern Florida. He married (1), in Gray, Me., October 31, 1849, Abbie Reed, daughter of Charles and Joanna (Cobb) Barbour; born in Gray; June 13, 1827; died at South Paris, January 10, 1856; he married (2), at North Yarmouth, Me., December 15, 1856, Clara Cummings, daughter of Charles Barbour and Mary (Lowell-Barbour) Hamilton; she was born at North Yarmouth, January 11, 1835. 76 THE DEERING LINES

Willliam .Jameson's name appears in a petition of May 24, 1689, to the Right Hon.

* A number of emigrants from the north of Ireland settled in the town of Saco, at that period (1737). They were descendants of a Scotch Colony that about one century before removed to Ireland and displaced the na.tive inhabi­ tants in particular districts. In 1718 one hundred families of them landed at Boston and twenty more at Falmouth; the former chiefly settled in the town of Londonderry, N. H, The latter were dispersed in various parts of the country. Others arrived from time to time in this quarter. They were accompanied by ministers of the Presbyterian Church in several instances to which religious sect .they all belonged.

The will of William Jameson of Charlestown, Mass., dated January 20, 1713/14, sp.ows that he died Feb­ ruary 25, 1713/14, at the age of 69 years, says that he had seven children the first and third named William, the latter born 20 (11), 1682, but not named in the will which was proved May 9, 1714, devising to bis wife, to son John of Stonington, Conn., and his three children; to son Purington and his children, to son Ferrand, to daughters Sarah and Elizabeth. In the inventory of his estate is mentioned a right in Casco Bay of 112 acres at 20 pounds.* July 29, 1718, John Jameson of Stonington, Conn., sold his rights to land at Falmouth, Maine,* which his father William Jameson bought of Joel Wendover of Beverly, Mass. April 2, 1723, Jere Jordan of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, granted to William Jameson of Spurwink in " ye town of Falmouth," a mesuage lying in Raid Spurwink of fifty acres. On the eighth of March, 1726/7, the First Church of Falmouth formed by nine persons who, on that day, signed the covenant; of these were Robert Means, John Armstrong, William Jameson and Samuel Cobb. "The whole town con­ tinuing as one parish until 1733, when those on the south side of Fore River were incorporated as a dis­ tinct parish, another meeting house was built and Rev. Benjamin Allen chosen as their minister'. . The mem­ bers of this, the Second Parish, were John Armstrong, William Jameson, Robert Means, Robert Thorndike, Jonathan Cobb, Joshua Woodbury, Dominicus Jor­ dan. " In this church and parish at Papoorduck there

* Smith and Dean's Journals. First Church in Falmouth, by M. F. King, p. 1. WILLIAM JAMESON 97 was a strong element of Presbyterianism, the Scotch­ Irish emigrants were all of this sect." Of the ten members who subscribed to the chm·ch covenant, four were of that demomination, viz. Armstrong, J eals ( or Giles), and Jameson. Elder Armstrong, his son-in­ law Robert Means, William Jamison and others, were of Scotch descent and of those who took refuge .in Ireland for conscience sake when the English govern'."' ment attempted to force Episcopacy on them. In the Jamesons of Maine, by Rev. E. 0. Jameson, we read that "their common ancestor was William Jameson who came from the north of Ireland and landed at Boston, August 4, 1718, and two of the name who signed the petition sent over from Ireland to Governor Shute of Massachusetts, William and John Jameson are probably brothers. Of these, John, first resided at Milton, Mass., went thence to Voluntown, Conn., thence to Wyoming Valley, New York, where he was massacred in 1776. With bis brother William, he is supposed a son of William Jameson of Scotland, who, in consequence of signing the "Solemn League and Covenant", was forced to flee in 1685, when he settled in Ormagh (Armagh), County Tyrone, Ireland. He is said to have been at the siege of Londonderry 1685/6, and, for his gallant and heroic conduct, was made free from taxation in all British possessions. At Boston, William Jameson's was one of the twenty families that chartered a brig, sailed for Maine, anchor­ ing in Casco Bay. A severe winter drove away many of those who had suffered extremely from the un­ wonted harshness, but the J amesons remained and were among those who, on March 8, 1727, organized 98 THE DEERING - JAMESON LINES that second Church electing Rev.

HANN.A.H2 MEANS = JOSEPH DEARING.

ROBERT MEANS

HIS name is said to have been derived from the T Menzies in Annandale, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. '' Mearns, an ancient name of Co. Kincardine; probably derived from Mernier, a brother of Kenneth the Sec­ ond. The phrase " Men O'th Mearns," denotes men of energy and strength in that county, hence the say­ ing " I can doe fat I don; the Men O'th Mearns can doe nae mair."* " The Armstrongs, Means and others whom we know, lived in the east part of County Tyrone, Ire­ land; these went to Falmouth, Maine.t Nearly all this colony went to Pennsylvania, among whom was John Means, a widower, with his sons, a daughter Nancy, and a brother Samuel; both, probably, brothers of Robert Means of Falmouth. From its location in Ireland, it is deduced that this colony sailed from Bel­ fast. The Londonderry colony traces its origin to A-rgyleshire, but I think as nearly all the Scotch in southeast Tyrone and Antrim were from Argyleshire and Calloway, that we came from there."

(From a letter written by Archibald Means of Peru, Illinois, of December 16, 1893.) A grandson said" Robert1 Means came here a young man, from Ireland by way of Massachusetts with his brother-in-law James Armstrong. He lived for five years at Falmouth N eek, one or two years in a log house near Stroudwater meeting house; then at the Ferry at Porpouduck about ten years, when he moved to Saco." (Told by his grandson James Means when he was 77 years old.) Robert Means, James and John Armstrong and Simon Lovett each received one sixty acre lot "where it could be found not entering former grants," from the town of Falmouth, February 1, 1719/20. An ar­ rangement was made with the new proprietors to build a meeting house within a specified time. March 10, 1720/1, Robert Means received a fifty acre lot on the country road, a house lot, from the end of the lane near the walnut tree to Church street, lying by Mr. Robard's lot. April 30, 1720, Elizabeth Davis, a widow of Lawrence Davis, who formerly dwelt at Casco Bay, now of Beverly, Mass., sold to "Robert Means, late of Ireland and now of Falmount, husband­ man, one hundred acres on Casco Bay at Purpoo­ duck." The First Church of Cape Elizabeth was at first the Second Parish Church of Falmouth, these churches separating in 1735; the members of the Second Church who were received into the First, were John Arm­ strong, William Jameson, Robert Means, Jonathan Cobb, with many others. · ROBERT MEANS 109 May 11, 1738, Robert Means, late of Falmouth, bought from James Brown of Newbury, Mass., a tract of land lying in Saco and Biddeford, Me. At the same date, Robert and Jane Means sold their homestead in Falmouth to Christopher Short of Provincetown, Mass. Robert Means married Jane (also called Jean), a daughter of John Armstrong. He died December 29, 1789, aged 80 years, so was born in 1709. He had owned an estate at that part of Saco which is now Old Orchard, which was about two miles in ex­ tent and included about two hundred acres, "bounded on the north east by land once owned by Sir William Pepperell."* Mrs. Jane Means was nearly one hun­ dred years old when she died. On an old grave stone standing in Old Orchard is the inscription:

SAMUEL MORSE

"APRIL 15, 1635 · .. . . . These pm·ties hereafter expressed are to be transported to New En-. gland, embarked in the Increase, Robert Lea, master, having taken the oath of Allegiance and Supremacy as being comformable to the orders and discipline of the Church of England, whereof they brought testi­ mony per certificate from the Justices and Ministers where their abodes have lately been, S.AMUEL1 MORSE, husbandman, aged 50, Elizabeth Morse, aged 48, Joseph Morse aged 20." This is the earliest state­ ment in regard to the Samuel Morse who was the first of that surname to come to the vicinity of Bos­ ton. He settled in Watertown, then the metropolis of the Massachusetts Colony, where he was made a member of its First Church, and, in so doing, showed that he was in harmony with the order and discipline of the Puritans. He " always belonged to the cl.ass of the Puritans who strove to separate from the cor­ ruption of the English Church, yet to continue in her· communion until the embarkation for this country,. and was, undoubtedly, influenced by the well-known motives with those of the early immigrants. William Laud, the enemy of the Puritans, being elevated to the Primacy of England in 1633, caused a Commis­ sion to be instituted which consisted of a Committee ( 129) 130 THE DEERING -MORSE LINES of the Privy Council, called the Commissioners of Plantations, who, to embarrass the Puritans, prohib­ ited the passing of His Majesty's subjects to this country, requiring subsidy men to procure a license and other persons to give attestation to two justices before they could embark. Accordingly, our Puritan Samuel Morse, however he might have approbated a di:fferent course, in his sons, who were of age ( and of whom only one came with him), when about to re­ move took care to conform to existing laws and so procured his. certificate of conformity."* _ About the time of his arrival, the Great and Gen­ eral Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, then holding at N ewtowne, on August 15, 1636, adopted a Covenant whi~h involved the settlement of a new town to be named Contentment, and on this same Covenant Samuel Morse's name was the third written in order; his son, Daniel was the twenty-eighth, son Joseph was the twenty-ninth, and son John was the thirty-fourth, among the one hundred and twenty­ two other signers, of whom was Ezekiel Holliman, who founded the First Baptist Church of Providence, R. I., and who baptized Roger Williams, Edward Evered, ancestor of Hon. Edward Everett, one of the Presidents of Harvard College, and Colonel John Dwight, progenitor of several Presidents of Yale College.t The name, Contentment, was, on September 10, 1636, by an order of the General Court, changed to that of Dedham, which then included the present ter-

SAMUEL MORSE 131 ritory included in the towns of Medfield, Walpole, Wrentham, Franklin, Bellingham, N eeclham, Dover, Natick, and the southern part of Sherborn. Every part of this had been purchased from the Indians before it was assigned to the settlers, King· Philip hav­ ing executed two deeds which conveyed .all his rights to it long before he assailed and burnt the villages. In this first enterprise Samuel Morse seems to have taken a leading part, for as soon as they were incorporated, he was elected as Collector of the money to be given an.cl paid out according to such several occasions as should arise concerning· their township. On November 8, 1638, a church Covenant was prepared, and, on June 30, 1641, Samuel Morse and others, members of the Watertown church, were received into the newly organized church of Dedham.* By an early law of Massachusetts,, every settler was obliged to build his hoµse within half a mile of the site of the meeting-house, each man receiving a home-lot of from eight to twelve acres, according as he was married or single, together with a share in a large enclosure called the Commons, which was cul­ tivated by all settlers in common. This law arose from one of an earlier date, which was that only members of the church possessed of a fixed income could exercise rights of citizenship, vote and assist in making laws. As the citizens increased in numbers and were forced to extend their homes beyond the limit of dis­ tance, they petitioned for a new township and re­ ceived permission to erect one which received the

His will was dated at Medfield in the tenth month, seconcl day, 1654, and was as follows: I, Samuel Morse, being sick and weak in body but of good and perfect memory, praised be God therefor, doe make this my last will and testament in manner as followeth: First I bequeath my soul into the hands of a mercyful God that gave it, with assured hope of everlasting life through the gracious merits of my dear Saviour and blessed Redeemer, Jesus Christ. As for that little estate of outward things which the Lord hath been pleased to bestow upon me, whether they be move­ able or immoveable, as houses, lands, chattel, household stuff, etc., I will and bequeath them all unto Elizabeth Morse, my dear wife to enjoy, possess and make use of her life, during the term thereof, and after her decease out of this life my will is that all that estate which she was in life possessed of shall be divided amongst my children, both sonnes and daugh­ ters, that is to say John Morse, IDaniel Morse, Mary Bullen and Ann Morse, the widow of my dearly beloved so11 Joseph Morse, deceased, who with my said children shall ha-ve an equal portion upon a just division with them for the chil­ dren's sake of my beloved Joseph. Therefore my will is that the above named Ann,. wife of my dear Joseph shall make an equal distribution of all that portion upon division unto every child of my sonne Joseph when they and every one of them shall grow up to the age of one and twenty years. Lastly I constitute and appoint Elizabeth my beloved wife the execu­ trix of this my last will. In witness whereof I have put my hand the day and year above written.

His estate was appraised on the 27th of the 11th month, 1654, at one hundred and twenty-four. pounds, seven shillings, and it appears that he had disposed of his property a few months previous to this date. In the Register of Dedham, England, it was found that Richard Morse married February 15, 1586, Mar­ garet Syrrionson, and their son Samuel was baptized July 25, 1587. At the time of Samuel's decease in Dedham, Mass., he was accredited with the age of sixty-seven years, whence it is argued that this son of Richard and Margaret Morse, was more likely to have been this first settler than the Rev. Thomas Morse, whose will Rev. Abner Morse placed on rec­ ord as promising to have been that of the father of Samuel. Samuel Morse married, before he left England, Elizabeth --·; she died J mm 20, 1655; he died April 5, (June), 1654. Children:

Sherborn was first styled as Bogas- C.APT.AIN JOSEPH MORSE 137 tow, and is on the west side of Charles river. The :first meetings for public religious worship were held at his house. "In his rank as captain he was sorely tried, and his combativeness, largely developed by nature, was actively called into action, on the memorable morn­ ing of February 25; 1676, when King Philip, at the head of five hundred Indians, laid Medfield in ashes and massacred eighteen of the settlers. Joseph Morse's house was remote from those of the other settlers; his wife was near her confinement ( and her sister-in-law, who was with -her, still nearer) when her husband, being on the other side of the Charles, fell, the first victim of the tomahawk," but, surviving the onslaught, returned to his farm. He married (1), October 17, 1671, Mehitable, daughter of Nicholas and Mary (Pigge) Wood; she was born July 22, 1655; died N ovembe.r 12, 1681; he married (2), April 11, 1683, Hannah, daughter of Robert and Joanna Babcock; she was born in Mil­ ton, Mass., February 8, 1664; died in Sherborn, No­ vember 9, .1711; he married (3), May 17, 1713, Mrs. Hannah Baxter, widow of Captain Joseph Dyer, of Weymouth, Mass.; she was born in 1661; died Sep­ tember 4, 1727; he died in Sherborn, February 19, 1717 /8.

fuNRY1 ADAMS, the immigrant ancestor, received a grant of land at that part of Boston, Suffolk County, Mass., called Mount W ollaston, where he was regis­ tered in 1640 as having " 10 heads in his family and 40 acres of land." Later evidence seems to show HENRY .A.DAMS. 141 that he was from Braintree, County Essex, England, arid as he was one of twenty petitioners to the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, October 1, 1645, for a new plantation which they named Braintree, it is likely that this,name was given in memory of the native town. Among the twenty men who signed this petition were Henry Adams, Henry Adams, Junior, Thomas, Samuel, John and Christopher Adams. Henry Adams, the elder, was first town-clerk of Braintree, first clerk of the writs, and one of three men appointed to end small causes on November, 1646.

His house &tood at the west end of the town, near the Charles river. He first owned several parcels of land in Medfield; then, in 1659, he drew one hundred and forty-eight acres, lying about mid.:. way between Medway and the soµtherly line of. Hol­ liston, extending from Black Swamp westerly to the Pond road. In 1660 he bought from Mr. Eleazer Lusher, of Dedham, Mass., his grant of two hundred and fifty acres at Sherborn, Mass., with twelves acres of meadow land. When the Indians fell upon the villages, he was massacred at his own door in Med­ field, February 21, 1675/6. He married November 17, 1643, Elizabeth, daughter of Moses Pa_yne, and it was probably her brother Stephen Payne to whom Ursula's husband left a small sum of money.

JOHN BARBOUR

HE earliest mention of these Barbour familie~ T was in "Orders passed in Council, July 20, 1716, granting a petition of Captain Samuel Moody, late Commander of His Majesty's fort at Casco Bay, to build a small fortification with stockade at the town of Falmouth, commonly called Old Casco, for himself and the inhabitants there, being in number :fifteen men besides women and children." Among these were Joseph . Bean (Bane) and J OHN1 BAR­ BOUR.* "' ab't This time, 1715, Mr. Skillen and Brackett settled on yir father's old farm at Back Cove - now came also Cap't Coller & built an House as did one Proctor - Doughty - Rounds - Mills - Hall - two Scales (brothers) Father Thomes-Wase- (twelve in all) and John Barbour & Father Gustain (who died June, 1718). " 'In 1718, Old Father ,T ohn Barbour , ( father to John who · came in 1717) came with his family, vizt. James and widow Gibbs (with her son Andrew 5 years oldand daughter Mary 10 years-married Ingram and Fuiton). They came from York.' I suppose the ex-

planation in regard to Mary is that she married, first, Ingram, probably at York, as persons of that name lived there, afterwards Fulton. I find in the records the intention of marriage between James Fulton and Mary Ingraham February 13, 1737 ." * " Old Father Barbour was drowned in Casco Bay, January, 1718." The Falmouth records give "Ann, wife of John Barbour, died at Falmouth in 1726.'' As, at that time, there were only two John Barbours, father and son, and as J ohu, the son, with his wife Mary were both admitted members of the First Church at Falmouth, it is more than probable that this Ann Barbour was the wife of" Father Barbour," and the mother of his children; strength is added to this by the· sons naming one of their. daughters Ann. '' The Barbours were originally of Scotch descent; they emigrated from that country in the latter part of the seventeenth century to Ireland where they remained a few years and then came to America. They were originally Presbyterians and claimed an ancient descent." t Children: i. (Widow2 Gmns), who may have been born about 1687, reckoning from the age of her daughter Mary. Children of Widow Gibbs: 1. Mar,v 3 Gibbs, born in 1707; married, probably at York, Me., Mr. Ingraham; after her residence.at Falmouth, she published her marriage intention, February 13, 1737, to James Fulton . .As Mary Ingraham, she was admitted to the First Church at Falmouth in 1734.

" One of these grants assigned him was on part of what is now Mid­ dle street, Portland, west of Exchange street, and a portion of this was long held by his descendants."* John Barbour's wife, Mrs. Mary Barbour, was also admitted a member of the First Church at Falmouth, whither they carried all their children for baptism.

HUGH BARBOUR

3 1 HuGR BARBOUR, son of J olrn ( John ) and Mary Barbour, was probably born in York, Me. In all civic transactions he was styled the only son, thus testifying to the early deaths of the others'. " He built a house and settled on a farm about a mile from Stevens's Plain, on a road leading eastward from the principal road to Falmouth. His grandson, Joseph Barbour, wrote: 'My grandparents, although their means were small, were very hospitable. Im­ mediately after the peace of '83, at the time emigra­ tion was setting very strongly towards the Kennebec river from other parts o'r New England, many of the emigrants were very destitute. My grandfather's door was always open and a part of the little he had was given with many kind words and good wishes. My grandfather was a very sociable man and some­ what of a wit, I am told. My grandmother was well educated for her day; she was a strong pa1·tisan of JOSEPH BEAN BARBOUR 155 the Stuart race, particularly for :M:ary and every inch a whig in our revolution. For what I know I am principally indebted to my grang;mother Barbour, she thought so much of these-- things. There was, for­ merly, in my grandfather's family an ancient history or reminiscence of the Indian wars. When . I first saw it, it looked like a well thumbed book, inter­ spersed with blank leaves on which were memoranda. I was frequently told I should have that book when I grew up aA it told all about my ancestors but, alas, that book was lost.' " * Hugh Barbour published his marriage intention, May 2, 1736, to Mary, daughter of Captain Joseph Bane by his wife, Mary (Freethy). (The famous war­ rior, Joseph Bane, was an Indian interpreter at the Fort in York); she is said to have been born 1710. Children: i. JosEPH BEAN4 BARBOUR, born about 1737, published his marriage intention, March 15, 1759, to Elizabeth Good­ ridge. ii. AnAM BARBOUR, who married February 18, 1770, Betty Knight. iii.

"At the commencement of the Revolution, he _was living at the N eek, on a part of his father's farm, said farm being that which was earliest granted to John Barbour. On the Le:xii1gton Alarm, he volunteered and was among those of his comrades who shouldered their muskets and marched for Cambridge.;' * The day before the conflagration of FahnO!lth, his family, with a part of their household beloi1gings; took refuge in his father's house ~here they ren:iahied 'until his return, the following summer", ·when they se'ttled again in their own home. · " The Barbo'ur estate on Middle Street, was bought by Joseph Bean Barbour, .August 8, 1762, from J ede­ diah Preble," t and he removed there a few years after his marriage. About 1785, he gave his daugh­ ter, Elizabeth, one-half of the front part of his house with the proviso that, at, her death, the whole house should go to his heirs. A.bout· this time, Elizabeth, married Zachariah Now ell; she built a house on her part of the lot. . Joseph Bean Barbour's marriage intention was published at Falmouth, March 15, 1759, to Elizabeth Goodridge. While erecting a building in Falmouth, he slipped and fell to the ground, being killed by the fall, September 5, 1795, aged 58 years and was bm·ied in the Eastern Cemetery of. Portland. The inscrip­ tion on his stone reads as follows: "Underneath lies the remains of Joseph Bean Ba1~bour who died Sept. 5th. 1795, aged 58 years."

JOHN HAMILTON

THE southeasterly sea coast of Maine, in New England, indented by deep bays, cut by broad river mouths, circled by a fringe of islands of vary­ ing sizesis one of the most picturesque and irregular parts of the 'North Atlantic shores. This and the adjacent territory was held in special regard by the Indians" from its physical advantages, its relation to their other holdings and its close proximity to their burial-place on Lane's Island in Casco Bay." In 1645, John Cousins bought one of the lesser group of islands called Great Island from Richard Vines, agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges and, with Richard Bray, took his family there, built housings and culti­ vated the land. Great Island lies about half a mile distant from a neck of land then called W estgustigo, which divides Cousin's river into two branches while the river W estgustigo sweeps by the base of the present town of North Yarmouth, that name having been changed to Royal's river after William Royal came from Salem, Mass., and purchased a wide tract of land on the Westgustigo in 1643 and there erected his homestead. ( 171) 172 THE DEERING- HAMILTON LINES

In January, 1673, Thomas Stevens of Kennebec, Me., bought a tract adjacent to William Royal's, but soon sold it to Bartholomew Gedney, also an inhab­ itant of Salem, and to Henry Sayword, of York, York County, Me., who was originally from Hampton, N. H. Stevens "reserved a stated portion for his brother William Royal." These tracts were the site of the present town of North Yarmouth which was, at first, named Westgustigo. In 1674, Henry Sayword built the first saw-mill, on the eaf3terly bank of this river, at its lower falls. About this period William Royal, grown aged and feeble, made a deed of gift of all his estates to his . two scms, William. and John Royal, with the proviso that they should wisely care for and plentifully pro­ vide for him and their aged mother " during their na.tunil lives." Late1•, settlers from Charlestown, Middlesex County, fmm Plymouth County, Mass., and from Falmouth an.d adjacent places in York County, Me., petitioned for and received house-lots and commons, and began to lay out theb.1 homes, when the Indians assaulted them with more determined ferocity than that shown to. oth13r settlements. They swarmed about the house that John Royal bad erected and fashioned so strongly that it .served as a stockade and garrison house · in which all the settlers could take refuge on every alarm.. But it was not sufficiently fortified to resist the savage onslaught, so great were the bands brought against it with fire and arrows~ An en.. t:rance was forced. John Royal was captured and carried to Canada. Those who escaped the general .JOHN .HilIILTON 173 massacre fled to the islands, to Falmouth, to Salem, and some as far away ·as remote Boston. Their vengeful spirits sated, the Indians roamed away from the fiery ruins . .A.s time ,:went on the savages appar.ently believed they had externiinated their invader.s, so the settlers gradually returned and began to build anew. .A. ·site ·for a church and the ministerial lot •weiie laid . out and houses put up, when the infuriated Indians again attacked them but unsuccessfully. They ·were repulsed after a bloody fight and ·the settlers, inspired with renewed.courage, :went on .with·their :work. The town of W estgustigo was incorporated as North Yarmouth on September 22, 1680, and -the · earliest town meeting ·was held at Thomas Blashford's, Feb­ rtiary_24, l_ti85, ~hen it .. ;w;as •vioted that the ·original tow·n records. should be sent to Boston for security . and a copy kept by the town clerk. It was also voted that every family should build :within t:wo miles of the meeting-house, that _being the place for the calling of all assemblages, whether civic or religious. The fh:st church -of North Yarmouth* was gathered three years before the permanent organization of the township. 'The records of · all its ,proceedings began at once and were -so faithfully followed ·that they served as a basis for the history of its people. Value :was added by·its revision by one of its later ministers, Rev. Mr. Shepley, who inserted names and dates given him from family and private records. One of the earliest deacons of this church was Jonas Mason,

He married Mary Chandler a descend­ ant from Edmund Chandler, the immigrant ancestor of Duxbury, Plymouth County, Mass. In 1746, this Jonas Mason, with the later comers, Zachariah, Jon­ athan, Edmund and Judah Chandler, all owners of Great and Little Chebeague { two of the larger islands lying at some distance from the main land) agreed to- settle the boundaries of their lots on Great Chebeague. Amongst the earliest proprietors of Great Che­ beague was J OHN1 HAMILTON, yeoman, the first of that name on record. The time of his arrival and date of his land grant was, apparently, never written. His first deed was dated .April 10, 1746, when, as John Hamilton, yeoman, be bought from.Jeremiah Powell, the agent sent from Boston, a one-hundred­ acre lot on Range A, Lot Number 22, in North Yarmouth, he · still ·holding his residence on Great Chebeague. One of his descendants, residing at Great Che­ beague, says that the story told by the earlier mem­ bers was ,that an Ambrose Hamilton came from Scotland with his wife Betty Franzy, a native of the Isle of Gurnsey, and settled on Little John's Island, one of the Cousin's group near the main land, in Casco Bay. As the names of the children of this Ambrose are identical with those who ·were carriea to the First Church at North Yarmouth by Jo~u Hamilton of Great Chebeague, and as both· wives were called Betty, it is. probable that there is some confusion in this story. JOHN HAMILTON . 175 In the land records,* John Hamilton, yeoman, sometimes styles himself as "of North Yarmouth," sometimes as "of Great Chebeague," but he was of Great Chebeague when he died, in 1767. His wife's name, Betty was further made known when Rev. Mr. Shepley inserted (Chandler) on the church book; she died on Great Chebeague. As they were not sufficiently numerous to gather a church of. their own, the. islanders sailed over to the main h~iid and. m1ited with the First Church at North.

ROBERT JORDAN N the Register of Matriculation of Oxford Uni­ O versity stands "Collegium Baliolense, 1632, Robertus Jordan, Wigorm, :fil. Eduardi Jordan de Civitate Wigornie, pleb. annati 19," which signifies that RoBERT1 JoRD.AN son of Edward Jordan of Worcester, plebeian, matriculated in 1632 at the age of 19 years.* This same Robert Jordan came to Richmond's Island, in what was then the Province of Lygonia, now the State of Maine, about the year 1638, and settled on this island, which lies nearly a mile distant from Cape Elizabeth and comprises about two hundred acres of land. The Patentees of the Province of Lygonia were Robert Trelawney and Moses Goodyear, who sent over their acting agent John Winter. As these men were of the Established Church.. of England, their first clergyman was Rev. Richard Gioson, who was in the Province as early as 1637, of whom Rev. Robert Jordan was the immediate successor. "A man of ability, under other conditions he might have ranked among the leading divines of the New World, but at that time the church for which he labored found an unkindly soil in New England. Owing to his re-

* Trela.wney Papers, p. 269. ( 207) 208 THE DEERING- JORDAN LINES ligious opinions, he was always an object of suspi­ cion and hostility to the Puritan government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. On July 1, 1660, learn­ ing that he had baptized three children at the house of Mr. Mackworth, they required him to desist - ' they did imprison and barbarously use' Mr. Jordan as he, himself, did complain in his petition to the Commissioners." Trouble arose from his persisting in his· religious offices, whereupon the Great aud General Court of the Bay Colony, at two separate times, 1654, 1663, sent him to the jail at Boston. Released, he returned to Maine, left his holy vocation and devoted his active energies to civic affairs and his own personal busi­ ness. · He, with four others, held a Court of Asso­ ciates at Scarborough, in September, 1659. He was an Associate, 1660, 1661, and a Commissioner for Falmouth, November 14, 1662. He took a decided stand against the claims of the Bay Colony for the government of this Province, his opposition assum­ ing a violent aspect. He was a leader in this until 1664, when the King appointed Colonel Richard Nickols, Colonel ~eorge Cartwright, Sir Robert Carr and Samuel Maverick to settle the dispute. In 1664, Robert Jordan, Archdale and Edward Rish­ worth sent a letter to the Massachusetts authorities demanding a sm·render to Gorges or his Commission­ ers of all claim on the Province, which was in accord with His Majesty's letter of June 23, 1665, ordering release from outside authority. " For more than thirty years he occupied a large share in the affairs of town and province. A man of ROBERT. JORDAN 209 active, enterprising spirit, he had been educated far above the masses with whom he was associated, and Maine may, perhaps, attribute her exemption from the witchcraft madness that blasted other communi­ ties to the intelligence and decision of Rev. Robert Jordan, by his opposing the delusion at the very out- • ,iret, at the very first attempt to practise this villainy in the Province." * Rev. Robert Jordan married, probably at Rich­ mond's Island, Sarah, the only child of John Winter, the Provincial ·agent, and thus became one of the great landed proprietors and wealthy men, " a source of influence he failed not to exert in favor of the church and politics." In September, 1675, the Indians fell upon Spurwink, burning that town- to­ gether with Jordan's estate there. He fled with his family to Great Island ( now New Castle), N. H. His will was written there, January 28, 1679, and was carried to the Probate Court, July 1, 1679. In it, he gave his estate at Spurwink to his wife " the auld plantation" consisting of one thousand acres of land and the Nonsuch Farm; to his son Robert Jordan he bequeathed land at Cape Elizabeth; . to his son John he had, previously, by deed of gift made over in con­ sideration of a legacy John had received from his grandfather John Winter, possession of Richmond's Island. This was done January 25, 1677. His son Dominicus received, as his portion, one thousand acres at Spurwink, the same number of acres going to his son Jedediah, while his son Samuel received

From this well known fact, and from his prowess, he was styled the "Indian Killer," in time of war; but in times of peace, he was so friendly that the Indians resorted to his house for exchange of furs, and they were ever sure of a hospitable reception and just treatment. When there was a renewal of hostilities, in 1703, a party of Indians " with friendly appearance, called on him, August 10, pretending to wish to bargain. While he was waiting on one of them, another struck him on the head with a hatchet, causing his death. His wife, six children and his brother; Jeremiah· Jordan, were all carried away to Canada. Eventually all the cap­ tives were released, excepting one daughter who re­ fused to forsake the tribe with whom she had become identified." * Dominicus Jordan married, in 1681, Hannah, daughter of Ralph Tristram of Winter Harbor.

CHAPTER ONE

MATTHEW WHIPPL;E

HIS family that became so infl{1ential in the set­ T. .. . tlement and management .of the old town of Ipswich, Essex County, Mass., has been traced by county records to Bocking, County Essex, England, where December 19, 1616, Matthew Whipple, the elder, of Boe.king, clothier, drew his will of that date, which was proved January 28, 1618, and was as fol­ lows, in abstract:

My capital messuage or tenement with the yards, gardens, orchards, members and appurte:µances, situate in Bradford Street, in Bocking, now in occupation of me, the said Mat­ thew, from and' after my decease shall remain to Matthew Whipplle, mine eldest Son, upon condition that he shall pay or cause to be paid to my Son John Whippell fourscore pounds within three months next after my decease, and to my daughter, Jane, thirty pounds within six months, and to my daughter Elizabeth thirty pounds within twelve months, and to my daughter Mary thirty pounds at one and twenty or day of her marriage and to my daughter Amie, thirty pounds at one and twenty or day of marriage upon reason­ able demand made by the said Jane, Elizabeth, Mary and Amie. To my daughter Amcie (sie) six silver spoons of the ( 267 l 258 THE DEERING - WHIPPLE LINES

better sort, two high latten candlesticks, my biggest brass pot and three pounds, six shillings and eight pence. To my daughter Johane forty shillings. To my daughter Jane two silver spoons, two pewter platters of the greater sort, one pewter candlestick, one half headed bedstedle, next to the best, my best flock bed, a flock bolster; a coverlet, a pair of blankets. To my daughter Elizabeth, two silver spoons, one pewter candlestick, two pewter platters of the greater sort, a half headed bedstedle next the best, a flock bed, a flock bol­ ster, a coverlet, a pair of blankets and the little chest which was her mothers. To my daughter Amye, two silver spoons, two pewter platters and a pewter salt a trundle bedstedle, a flock bed, a flock bolster and a pair of blankets. To my son John a joynd table and frame standing in my old parlor and other moveables. To my sister, wife of Richard Rathbone, twenty shillings. To Hercules Arthur, Margaret Arthur, Henry Coldham and Anne Ooldham, my grand children, six shillings apiece and eight pence. To the poor of Bocking twenty shillings. All the rest to my son Matthew [whom I appoint] sol~ executor.

Another English will in this connection shows fur­ ther relations in County Essex. John Hawkings, of Braintree, Essex County, Gent, 3 Sep­ tember, 1633, proven 18 October, 1633. To my wife, Sara, messuages, lands and tenements in Tolleshunt, Buches, Sal­ cote, Wighborough and Verley which I late had and pur­ chased of Sir Edward Bullock, knight, Francis Teele and Elizabeth his wife, John Hewes and Elizabeth his wife, form­ erly wife of -- Steele, John Os burn and others, for and during her natural life: and the ruessuages wherein I dwell in Braintree and the two little tenements adjoining unto the church yard of Braintree so long as she shall keep herself a widow and unmarried after my decease. To my eldest son MATTHEW WHIPPLE 259

John, messuages and tenements in Old Newton, Suffolk. To my son Abraham, the messuges wherein I dwell (and other lands and tenements). To my daughter, Sarah, six hundred pounds at her age of eighteen and again at the age of one and twenty. To my daughter Margaret five hundred pounds at eighteen and again at the age of one and twenty. To my daughter Mary messuages, etc. in Bradwell next the sea. To my daughter Judity messuages, etc. in Finche:field, Essex. To my brother-in-law, John Kent, one hundred marks for his care and pains to be taken as one of the executors. To my loving friend, Mr. Collins of Brayntree forty shillings to buy him a ring and also four pounds per annum during bis min­ istry there. To my mother, Mary Hawkins, widow, sixteen pounds a year, etc. To my friend, William Lingwood, twenty pounds. To rny sister Kent and my sister Edes thirty shillings a piece to make them rings. To my brother Francis Hawkins, my sister Archer and my sister Whipple forty shillings apiece as remembrances from me. To my cousin Tomson, my aunt Woodward and my aunt Goodaye ten shillings apiece. Loving friends and neighbors, Adrian Mott and Joseph Loomis also mentioned, Joseph Lomis was one of the witnesses.* This latter will seems to show that Matthew Whip­ ple's wife was a sister of John Hawkings and so es­ tablishes a close relationship with John Kent, who came to Ipswich about the time the Whipples ap­ peared, but soon went to Newbury, Mass.

N the Register of St. Alpheage, Canterbury, O County Kent, England, among the marriages (page 113): "1606, July 31, Robert Cushman, and Sarah Reder, dwelling within Pr'cincts of Christ Church " is the record of the first marriage of Robert Cushman, ancestor of this surname in New England. "1617, May 19 = June 3 - Robert Cushman, wool carder of Canterbury, widower of Sarah Cushman, accompanied by John Kebel, with Mary Chingleton (Singleton) widow of Thomas Chingleton, of Sand­ wich, accompanied by Catherine Carver ( wife of John · Carver)." Here the name of Cushman was written "Coetsman." * RoBER'l.'1 CUSHMAN of Canterbury, was born 1580- 85.t As a non-conformist, he sympathized with the Puritans and was one of the company that fled from England to Holland. November 4, 1611, he bought a house in Leyden, and sailed iii the companion ship, the Speedwell, when the Pilgrims embarked, but, owing to the inefficiency of its captain, the ship was obliged to put back to England.

Before leaving London, he arranged to return in the same vessel to report on the condition of the little New ·England colony to the Company of Associates or Adventurers, who had furthered the enterprise, and it was undoubt­ edly the desire of Governor Bradford that Thomas Cushman should continue in LoHdon as an agent, to look out for those that had been crowded out from the Mayflower in 1620. Wherefore he sailed on his return voyage, December 13, 1621, leaving his son Thomas in Governor Bradford's family, and continued as the agent for the colony until his decease, which probably occurred Janu3:ry or February, 1625. Gov­ ernor Bradford,* in speaking of his death, said: "And now we have lost a wise and faithful friend. He pro·­ posed to be with us in the next ship but the Lord did otherwise dispose and hath appointed him a gl'eater journey to a better place ..... he was our right hand with the Adventurers who, for divers years, has managed all our business with them to our gl'eat ad­ vantage." "Robert Cushman was one of the most. distin­ guished characters among the collection of worthies who quitted England on account of their· :religious difficulties." t He married (1), July 31, 1606, Sarah Reeler, who was buried October 11, 1616; he married (2), June

ISAAC ALLERTON

Is.A..A.a1 ALLERTON, a young tailor from Loudon joined the Pilgrims on their way to Holland, where he was accounted as one of the wealthiest of them, and received the citizenship of Leyden. He married (1), at the Stadthus, November 4, 1611, Mary Norris from Newbury, Berkshire, England. With his wife and three children, he sailed in the Mayflower, and ·his name was thff fifth on the Compact signed while 'they were still in Cape Cod harbor, November 11, 1620. In 1625, he built a house at Rocky Nook, ·near J ones's river and the dwelling of Thomas Cush- ISAAC ALLERTON 345 man. He was Assistant Governor from 1620 to 1624. In 1626, he was sent to London to obtain concessions from the Adventurers and for supplies, and returned in 1627 with a draft drawn by the best counsel of lawyers, dated November, 1627, whereby the Adven­ turers agreed to sell their interest in the Plymouth Colony for £1800. This sanctioned by the colonists', he :rnturned to London to have it signed and came back in 1628 with a fresh supply of goods and a patent for a trading station on the Kennebec river in J\'Iaine. Owing to further questions by the Pilgrims, he again went to London and did not return until 1629. Differing with the settlers on important matters and taking sides with Roger Williams, the disputes and bickerings led to his resignation and departure. In 1634, he was with a trading house at Machias, Me. This was burned in February of the same year, and goods which he had sent to Matthew Cradock's store­ house at Marblehead, Mass., were consumed in the burning of that storehouse. Since he* was "warned away for his religious tolerationl he transferred his house, buildings and :fish-flakes to his son-in-law, Moses · Maverick, and joined the Dutch settlers at New Amsterdam. From 1636 to 1646, he built ware­ houses on the east side of the. Hudson, establishing trading stations, for tobacco chiefly. In 1643, he was one of eight members of the Council as · Governor's {\.ids. From this time he made trading voyages to Virginia and the West Indies. In 1644, he· was

His son: J oHN3 ROBINSON, was born in 1575; was admitted to Corpus Christi College in 1592; received a fellow­ ship in 1598; the degree of A. M. from Emanuel College, 1600; that of B. D., 1607. "He soon em­ braced the principles of Puritanism and so promul­ gated them in and about Norwich, County Norfolk, that the Bishop of Norwich suspended him from holy office;" in consequence, Rev. John Robinson resigned his fellowship in 1604; went to Scrooby, Nottingham­ shire, in 1606, and there signed the Covenant of the Society of Separatists, established in that village where the members met for religious service at the house of William Brewster, under the administration of the Rev. Mr. Clyfton. Rev. John Robinson was first nominated as a Teacher but soon became an Assist­ ant to the pastor. ( 355) 356 THE DEERING - ROBINSON LINES

Realizing the severe persecution to which they would be liable for leaving the Established Church, they resolved to seek a refuge in Holland. Accom­ panied by Rev. Mr. Clyfton, a large number of the families sailed from England, leaving Rev. John Robinson to " preach over the remnant," but he speedily followed, arriving at Amsterdam in 1607/8. John Robinson went to Leyden iii 1609, where he purchased a house and was elected a member of Leyden University. But the Separatists were . soon convinced that they needed greater security than even Holland gave and planned a voyage to New England, in which they were much encouraged by Rev. John _Robinson who intended to accompany them, but was stricken by a prevailing plague of which he died ; he was buried " under this House of Worship, 4 Mar. 1625, .lE)t XLIX Years " (Tab-, let on Leyden Church).

He remained in West Jersey a few years, eventually returning to East Hampton where, on 422 THE POST - MURDOCK-'- OONOKLIN LINES March 13, 1674, \[ohn Mulford, Senior, gave a deed for a tract of land to his soni-in-law, Benjamin Oonck­ lyn and his wife "my daughter Hannah Concklyn." A deed* dated October 18, 1709, w·as: "Know.- all men by these presents that whereas my deceased father, Benjamin Ooncklyn,-by his will did. give and bequeath to his son Benjamin Ooncklyn, sundry par­ cels of land in this. town* (East Hampton) and other parcels in Suffolk County, land at Auwine Brook N eek, which was .formerly Benjamin Mulford's, also a quarter of the interest which my father had at Mean­ tauk, I, John Concklyn, do ratify this to my brother, Benjamin Ooncklyn." Benjamin Ooncklyn married Hannah, daughter of John ~fulford. Her father, probably from Devon, England, who came first to Salem, Mass., journeyed on to some of the towns in southern Connecticut, thence to South Hampton, L.

The following paper has a bearing on this: " Elias Mulford with his wife, Mary, who was the · daughter of James Mason, formerly of East Hampton, he being the son of ,T ohn, Mason, formerly of New Dartmouth, sold to Daniel Cargill- land on the Sheepscot river (in Maine) that the said John Mason bought from the Indians.
