INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

JUDGE WHITE warmly loved the memory of his pious ancestry, and spared no pains to gather whatever information could be obtained co~cerning them and their descendants. Among his papers was one entitled "William White· of Haverhitl, Mass., and Descendants, 1640-1853." Of this, with some additions from his

copies, for the use of such members of the family as may be inter­ ested in the subject. In explanation of the fact that much of the genealogical matter contained in the following pages is similar in form to portions of the "Genealogies and History of Watertown," by Henry Bond, M. D., of Philadelphia, published in 1855, it should be s~ated that the materials for those portions of Dr. Bond's valuable work were furnished by Judge White, from the abundant material which he had collected during his researches concerning his family history.

PREFACE.

In 1887 Mr. Joseph C. White, of Bangor, Me., the only surviv­ ing grandchild of Timothy White, a " book-seller of Boston " and a descendant of William White, of Haverhill, deplored the meagre information possessed by his generation in regard to the family history. His niece, whom he was visiting, having a copy of the "Genealogies and History of Watertown," promised to have re­ printed, for the benefit of Timothy's numerous descendants, that part of the work relating to William White. For this purpose, Rev. William Orne White and Rev. Henry Wilder Foote, son and grandson of Judge Daniel Appleton White, generously allowed a reprint of his valuable work "The Descendants of William White," published after his death in 1863, and which had furnished the material to Dr. Bond, as mentioned in the introductory note. Upon this groundwork, material has been laid which brings the record of Timothy's branch of the family to date, with such infor­ mation of the collateral bran-ches of William White's descendants as could be easily obtained. Some pains has been taken to make the present work something more than a bare record of genealog­ ical facts, by adding portraits and other prints, with !terns of his­ torical or personal interest. Chase's " History of Haverhill" has furnished abundant material, also "The History of Exeter" (N. H.), by Hon. C.H. Bell, for that part relating to the Gilman family, and Bond's "History of Watertown," for items regarding the Phillips family. EX PLAN A'"fION. Ordinal numbers are placed in the left margin of the page, next to the per­ pendicular line, beginning with 1, opposite to the first name in the genealogy, and continuing the numbers to the end of it. When another number occurs in the margin, opposite to the ordinal number, it refers the reader to that ordinal number where information may be found. If it be less than the opposite ordinal number, it will refer back to the individual parentage; if it be larger, ii will refer forward to his or her marriage and distinct family. ·

DOSTON1 MAS$, Hl:LIOT YPE PRINTING CO 1 FAG-SIMILE OF THE INDIAN DEED OF THE TOWNSHIP OF HAVERHILL. NOW IN POSSESSION OF MR, SAMUEL WHITE, HAVERHILL,

HAVERHILL.

The town of Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts, is situated on the northerly side of the Merrimack, the fourth in size, but perhaps the most beautiful river in New England. The township, as originally purchased of the Indians, was fourteen miles in length and six in breadth. As first laid out, by the General Court, in 1667, it was nearly in the form of a triangle, and then included a large portion of the territory now forming the townships of Salem, Atkinson, Hampstead, and Plaistow, N. H., and Methuen, Mass. The Indian name of the region included in the present bounds of the town was Pentuckett. It was under the jurisdiction of Passaconnaway, Chief of the Pennacooks, who was a firm friend to the English, and the Great Sachem of all the tribes that dwelt in the valley of the Merrimack. He was the most noted sorcerer of all the country, and exerted an almost boundless influ­ ence over his people. H.e lived to a very great old age, as Gookin saw him at Pawtuckett [Lowell] when he was about 120 years old. The large immigration into Massachusetts immediately preced­ ing 1638 led to the settlement of many new plantations, as well as the rapid enlargement of those already settled by large. numbers of en1igrants from the vicinity of Ipswich, Newbury, Haverhill, Lynn, and other towns in the easterly part of England. Among the n·ew places settled was Pentuckett, or Haverhill, in 1640, by a company of settlers, twelve in number, from Ipswich and Newbury. Though the town was settled and homes erected in 1640, it was not until Nov. 15, 1642, that a title of the land was purchased of the Indian owners, and the Indian name of Pen­ tuckett [Haverhill] was apparently extinguished. On that day Passaquo and Saggahew, with the consent of Passaconnaway, sold to the inhabitants, in consideration of three pounds and ten shillings, all the lands they had there, and placed their mark of bow and arrow in the deed. This instrument was, it is said, both written and witnessed by William White, who was one of the first settlers. - Chase's History of Haverhill.

GENEALOGY

-OF- WILLIAM WHITE.

(I.) WILLIAM WHITE, b. 1610; landed at Ipswich 1635. . Tradition says that he came from Co. Norfolk, England, but this has,~tbeen ascer­ tained. "In 1635, the year he landed, the General: Court_ -ordered the · bounds of Ipswich and Q1:1ascacunquen [ now Newbury] to b~ '. laid ou4 when some of the chief [people]_of Ipswich desired leave .to remove to Quascacunquen, to begin a settlement, which was granted them. Among-' those who removed to Newbury were Rev. Thomas Park.er,. Nicholas Noyes, Henry Sewell, William White, William Moody, and ·ruchard Kent." In 1640 William White removed to Haverhill,.of. wh~ch he was one of the first settlers, and was one of the grantees of th~ . Indian deed of Haverhill, dated Nov. 15, 164:i; which instrument was,_it is said, both written and witnessed by him. His first wife, MARY, the mother of his only child, d. Sept. 22, 1681. He m. · (2d), Sept. 21,. 1682, SARAH FOSTER, '"the widow and second wife of Reginald Foster,_w:ho came to America in one of the vessels embargoed by King Charles 1·.,:~~companied by his ~ife Judith, five sons and two daughters, and se_ttle~ in Ipswich, Mass., about 1638." He d. Sept. 28, 1690. His widow:SQQ:q after removed to Ipswich, where she died in 16g3. Monuments were erected to William and Mary White, by Charles White, Esq., of Haverhill,. ,bearing the following inscriptions, copied from the monuments originally erected to their memory: - " Here were deposited the remains of Mr. William W~ite, who d. Sept. 28, 16go, aged 80, one of the first settlers of Haverhill." "In memory of Mrs. Mary White, who d. Feb. 22, 1681, in= the 75th year of her age." The original tombstone stands, in 1889, at the foot of the grave, and bears the inscription: "Mary White dyed February ye 22, 1681, in ye 75 yeare of heare age." Mr. White settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Samuel White, and upon which the "White House " stood in 1636. A new house was built on or near the old site about 1680, which is still standing in excellent preservation. Until _within a few years it was occupied by Mr. James Davis White, brother of Mr. Samuel White, the present owner. Only since 1874·has the house ever been occupied by others than the direct descendants of the first William and Mary. The farm was situated on what is ·now known as 8 WHITE GENEALOGY.

Mill Street, and which for more than a century was known as "The Great Road " from the village. It was westerly of the burying-ground, near i:he fulling mill, and the estate included a large tract of land adjoining, extending to the northward. He also owned a farm at Newbury as late as 1650. The estate of \\i.,.illiam White in 1643 was valued at £50; he was a landholder in 1645; he received from the town, June 7, 1652, seven acres of plough land, and in 1659 he had nine acres on the great river; in I 667 he received five acres as his share of the "accommodation " land. On Dec. 15, 1651, the town granted William White, with others, to build a mill ; and "in I 6 52 a lot of land, not exceeding fourscore acres, was granted to the proprietors of the saw mill, as long as they kept it in use." The first regular deed of real estate, recorded in the town, is that of Thomas Sleeper and wife to William White, Oct. 11, 1659"' The town records show that William White held a very respect­ able social position among the earlier settlers. He was a steady citizen, and, soon after the church was gathered, he became a zealous church member and one of its firmest pillars. He had the honor of the town much at heart, and was esteemed by all its citizens, and was frequently entrusted with its most important business. He was one of the first Selectmen chosen in the town in 1640, and was again elected in 1673. In 1662 he was elected Captain of the first military company in the town. His property was inventoried at £508 10s.-"a property far better than in .those days was the custom with our yeomanry. His descendants, thro' John's son John are very numerous, and have been among the most useful and honorable in the land." In his will, dated Jan. 2, 1683, he says: "I give to the Rev. Mr. Ward, my teacher in Haverhill, 10s. in silver. I give the church of Haverhill, of which I am a member, the linen cloth which is on the communion table and one of the pewter dishes which was mine, which was used at the sacrament, • and to be kept for that use only so long as it may serve with decency for the CO!Jlmon good of that society. My will is, that the girl, which was given to me by the girl's mother to breed up, if my wife will keep her until John White [his son], marry, let her keep it; otherwise, John I White to put her out to sum one, who will bring her up in good nurtour. If afterwards she live with John till she is 18 years of age or day of marriage, the said John White is to clothe her well, and to give her five pounds. I give to Edward Brummidge a cloth jacket and britches and a shurt, all of mine own wearing." Child: -

d. in Haverhill Jan. 1, 1668--09, leaving an only child, John. Evidence remains that he cultivated in some reputable degree his mental powers, and a copious illustration of short-hand writing by him is still preserved. A tombstone stands in the old burying-ground, Haverhill, between the monuments erected to his father and mother, bearing the following in­ scription: "John White dyed January ye 1, 1668, and in ye 29 yeare of his age." According to a provision in his will, the care of his son de­ volved upon his father, William White. His will, filed in the Probate Office of Essex County, bears the same date with that of his death, and was probably executed in ertre1nis, as it was not signed by him. John Ward, the minister, and Nathaniel Saltonstall were subscribing wit­ nesses. From their attestation, the will appears to have been proved at different times. John Ward, on the" 23d 1st-68," before Simon Brad­ street, testifies that the " will was read to John White, and owned and declared by him to be h.is will;" and" Nathaniel Saltonstall attested to this will, upon his oath, in open court, held at Salisbury ye 13, 2d mo, 1669. Thos. Bradbury, regr.'' This will shows that John White left a large real estate, some of which he devised to his father, some to his wife during her life, and the residue to his son John, then about five years of age. The will thus concludes: " I commit my son John to the hands of my wife during the time of her widowhood, to be educated and brought up in the fear of the Lord, and to be maintained out of the estate that by this, my will, I leave to my wife. And in case she shall marry again, then my will is that, if my father, William White, please, he shall have full power to take my son John home to himself, and have the sole and whole care of his education, and power to dispose of and order him; my father, White, being to be allowed three pounds per annum towards the maintenance of my son John, out of that estate that I have now by this will given to my wife. I constitute and appoint my wife sole executrix of this my last will and testament; and do also desire my father, White, to be overseer of this my will." The widow was married again to Thomas Philbrick, probably of Hampton, in I 66g, where she resided at the time of his death; after which she returned to Haverhill, and lived there as his widow to extreme old age. Upon her marriage, the care of her son John devolved upon his grandfather, who faithfully fulfilled his trust, if we may judge from the character his ward sustained through life. Child : - .

5 (III.) JOHN WHITE, Jr., Esq., of Haverhill, b. March 8, 1663-64; m. Oct. 24, 1687, LYDIA GILMAN, dau. of Hon. John Gilman, of Exeter, and Elizabeth Treworthy, his wife, and a grand-dau. of Edward Gilman, who came from Norfolk, Eng., in 1638, with his five children, and settled first in Hingham, thence to Ipswich, and· became a resident of Exeter pre- IO WHITE GENEALOGY. vious to 1652, where he died; he left three sons,-Edward, John, the Coun­ cillor, and Moses. Moses d. in 1702; James, son of Moses, b. May 31, 1665, d. I 739 ; Nehemiah, son of James, d. in 1796, aged about I oo; Theophilus, son of Nehemiah, d. in 1803 (Mrs. Cass's father). The eldest son, Edward, the principal mill owner in Exeter, was lost at sea in a voyage to England in 1653; his brother John succeeded him in busi­ ness and much of his property, and became one of the most useful and distinguished citizens. For more than one half the years between 1650 and 1680 he was repeatedly elected Commissioner, to end small causes,. and was Associate (judge} of the old Norfolk County Court for two years. In 1680 he was made Councillor of New Hampshire, and was Judge of the Court of Pleas. He was a delegate to ~he assembly and twice Speaker of the House. The town records show that John Gilman was first among the able and respected citizens, and that the Gilmans at all times were unwavering in their patriotism and love of country. He built the "log house," still standing opposite the great bridge; also the Clifford House, the oldest in town, built in 1656. The windows were scarcely more than loopholes; it was adapted against the attacks of the savages, and was known as a garrison house. In this wooden structure Councillor John lived till his death, in 1708. He had six sons and ten daughters. [See Bell's Hist. of Town of Exeter.] John White was highly respectable and influential; most of his chil­ dren sustained excellent characters, for which they were indebted to the good influence of their mother as well as their father. She was vener­ ated by them and their children. Judge Daniel Appleton· White writes: "I have heard my father speak of her with admiration." He acquired much property in trade and merchandise, and possessed a very extended real estate, sufficient to afford his sons valuable farms in Haverhill and Plaistow. In 1692 Sir William Phipps, first Governor of the province, u~der the new charter, appointed Ensign John White on the board of town officers. He was Town Clerk in 1694, and was chosen" proprietor's. clerk" in 1701. He was Representative of Haverhill in the General Court eight years,- 1700-2-3-8-13-15-16-19, Captain of the Haverhill company, and magistrate of the County Court. In 1694 Capt. John White owned and commanded a garrison house erected as a defence against the Indians, near the "White House " on Mill Street. At a town meeting~ Oct. 14, 1699, he was "one of eight persons allowed to make themselves pews in the new meeting-house at their own cost." Among other curious petitions is the following: "John White, desiring leave to set up a shed on the outside of the west end of the meeting-house, to keep out the heat of the sun." In 1706 he was allowed to .build a "fulling· mill on Mill Brook, near his now dwelling- · house," the first of that kind in town. At the ordination of Mr. Gardiner, Jan. 10, 1711, the sugar and wine for this occasion were brought from Boston on horseback by" Deacon White." His house seems to have WHITE GENEALOGY. I I

been the usual stopping-place for those who supplied the pulpit while there was no settled minister in town. The celebrated George White­ field, who visited the town twice, was on both occasions the guest of Deacon White. Whitefield did not preach in town on his first visit, as strong objections were made to allowing him the use of the mee.ting­ house; but on his second visit, he preached to a large congregation of people in the open air, opposite the Deacon's house on Mill Street. The authorities, hearing that he was to preach, sent him a warning to de­ part out of town. He read the letter at the close of his discourse, and said, " Poor souls ! they shall have another sermon," and pro­ ceeded to give notice that he " should preach at the same place at sunrise the next morning." He kept his word, and addressed a large audience. The Rev. Samuel Phillips, in his account of the Phillips family, speaking of his marriag~ with Hannah White, styles her father the Worshipful John White. A peculiarly interesting relation was formed between the two: families by the marriages of three of his children with three of the children of Samuel Phillips, of Salem, who m. Mary Emerson, dau. of Rev. John Emerson, of Gloucester, and his wife Ruth, dau. of Lieut.-Gov. Samuel Symonds, of Ipswich. Said Rev. John was son of Thomas Emerson, of Ipswich. Rev. Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, m. Sarah Appleton, dau. of Samuel Appleton, Sr., of Ipswich, and Mary Everard (or Everett), his wife, who was born in England 1627; m., 1651. The Rev. Samuel Phillips was son of Rev. Samuel, of Rowley, and grandson of Rev. George, the first minister of Watertown, Mass., of Rainham, St. Martin Co., England, who came to America in the "Arbella," April 12, 1630, with his wife and two children, as fellow•passengers with Gov. Winthrop, Sir Richard Salton­ stall, and other assistants of the Massachusetts Company; arrived at Salem June 12, where his wife soon died, and was buried by the side of Lady Arbella Johnson. He was admitted freeman May 18, 1631, the earliest date of any such admission ; he continued to be minister of the Watertown church fourteen years, greatly respected and beloved; he died the 1st and was buried the 2d of July, 1644, aged about 51 years. Winthrop says: "He was a godly man, especially gifted, and very peaceful in his place, much lamented of his own people and others." John Whited. Nov. 20, 1727. Children:-

8, 43 (IV.) Dea. WILLIAM WHITE, fourth child of John and Lydia Gil- man White, b. Jan. 18, 1694; m. in Boston, June 12, 1716, SARAH PHILLIPS, b. Jan. 28, 1692, sister of Rev. Samuel Phillips, dau. of Samuel and Mary (Emerson) Phillips of Salem, a granddaughter of Rev. Samuel Phillips, of Rowley, and a great-granddaughter of Rev. George Phillips of Watertown. In manuscript notices of the family collected by Dr. Shattuck, it is said that they were married in Boston, and that they were published there Feb. 1, 1716. If so, she was not at the time resi­ dent with her father, Samuel Phillips, of Salem, goldsmith. Her said father had married a second wife, viz. Mrs. Sarah Mayfield, whose maiden name was Pickman, April 27, 1704. Perhaps Sarah Phillips, at the time of her marriage, was residing in Boston with some relative or friend. William White lived in Haverhill; was a clothier, and in said manuscript notices is styled Deacon and Esquire, and said to have been Representative of Haverhill in the General Court in 1733 and 1734. It is said, too, that he planted, in 1718, the first pota~oes in Haverhill, and raised that year four bushels, but knew not how to make use of so large a quantity, and gave them to his neighbors. Rev. Joshua Gardiner d. March 21, 1715. William White made a journey to Boston to get supplies for the funeral. Among the items of expense was "one bbl. cider." Jan. 2, 1721, "William and Samuel, bis brother, were granted permission to set up a grist_ mill and fulling mill on Sawmill River. They desired to remove this mill from Mill Brook to this river because of scarcity of water during a part of the year at Mill Brook." Judge Daniel App~eton White writes: - " A f~w days after the marriage of_ my Grandfather White, who was, married in Boston, and attended puqlic worship on their way to Haver­ hill, with their brother Phillips, at Andover, he re~eived from Mr. Phillips a copy of the sermon he preached upon the occas_ion, prefaced with his. good and affectionate wishes. He states that the sermon was studied and preached principally for their sakes. It is entitled' The Prudent Wife a Choice Biessing.' This manuscript was deliyered to me by ~y Aunt Thomson, who had always kept it as a treasure. It is in the hand­ writing of the author, and written, as he says, in his plain, homely · method and style. My Grandfather White, as Rev. Mr. Phillips states in his account of the Phillips family, was a magistrate of the county, a Deacon of the church, and a Captain of the company of Haverhill; I believe, also, a Representative of the General Court." William White, Esq., d. about 44 years of age, Dec. 11, 1737, and left an excellent character. His estate was valued at £4,070.3, more than half that amount being in real estate. In his will, dated Dec. 5, 1737, after piously commending his "soul into ye hands of God that gave it," he gives to his" well-beloved wife ye improvement of all my estate in Haverhill, so long as she shall be my widow. For my five sons my will is that they shall be all equal sharers in my estate, and what shall be 16 WHITE GENEALOGY.

He left no children. In a paper, "Geneaology of the Whites," sent to Judge White by his Uncle Guy C. Haynes, who stated it was from an elderly lady of Concord,. N.

Wolfe, particularly in the battle on the Plains of Abraham, in which he was severely wounded. Having continued in the service till the peace of 1763, he retired upon half-pay for life; married and settled in Canada; and, at the period of our Revolutionary War, had gained reputation, wealth, and influence there. Being well known to be friendly to our cause, and not surpassed by any one there in military experience and influence with the Canadians, Congress applied to him to command the regi­ ment to be sent into Canada, and engaged to indemnify him for every loss he might sustain by reason of his entering our service ; such as the loss of his annuity from the British Government. This was the source of much vexation to him and his executor, Moses ,White, son of his cousin and guardian, John White, and whom he made his heir. The indemnity was not made till about 1828, after nearly forty years' solicitation. 4- ANN, b. July 30, 1735. 5. WILLIAM, b.

He was chosen delegate to the first Provincial Congress, convened at Salem Oct. 7, 1774, and was one of the committee on "Tea resolutions," adopted by the town soon after June 1, 1774, when, "as the clock struck twelve, the port of Boston was closed, and the ·courts were suspended, amid the ·solemn tolling of bells." He lived on the comer of Merrimac and Main .streets until the destructive fire, 177 5, in which his house - one of seventeen - was burned, when he returned to live at the homestead on Mill Street. " The old bell, of peculiar sound, which once hung in the steeple of the First Baptist Meeting-House, and now sends forth its sharp peals from the belfrey of the Baptist Meeting-House in Plaistow Centre, was the gift of 'Squire Samuel White,' his name being cast on the bell." It is said that 'Squire White possessed great personal attractions, and was a conspicuous figure as · he rode about the town on his fine horse, in his " wig and red cloak." These articles of dress are now in the possession of his gr.-grandson, Mr. James Davis White, of Haverhill. He was among a number of prominent and respectable citizens to organize a" Fire Club," in 1768, each of whom was provided with" two good bags of one yard and three quarters in length and three quarters of a yard in breadth, with strings at the mouth, and two good leather buckets," etc. "For a long series of years the annual supper of the 'Fire Club' was one of the great social events of the year."

He Ii ved to the age of 86 or 87; and was, through life, distinguished for his integrity and good sense. In the former part of his life, he was a member of the West Parish, in Haverhill, during the ministry of Rev. Mr. Bachellor, whom he pub­ licly charged with preaching false doctrines, during sermon-time, and whose dismissal he finally effected. During the controversy on the subject, he wrote and published several pamphlets in answer to some of the reverend councils which were convened on the occasion; and was thought to have evinced considerable ability in them. He also published a tract on the subject of the laws of the State for a due observance of the Lord's Day, about 1792; on which he took the ground that Paley has taken on this topic ; viz., that there is no express warrant in Scripture for enjoining upon Christians the observance of the Jewish Sabbath. During the latter part of his life, Mr. Haynes belonged to the Baptist Society in Haverhill, under the care of Rev. Dr. Smith.]

FROM A MANUSCRIPT OF JUDGE WHITE'S.

Our venerable father died July 11, 1800, after a few weeks' illness, his sons and most of his daughters being· present with their mother. He was a truly generous and kind father, really indulgent, yet reserved in his intercourse with them, and did not manifest affectionate manners towards them, nor take much personal care of their education or management. He was distinguished among the various John Whites in Haverhill, by being called Kentleman John, being of an open, manly, generous turn of mind and character. Though always a farmer, he rather superintended than labored much in the management of his farm. He first lived in Haverhill, but about 1754 removed for a short time to Dracut, then again in Haverhill, till about 1770, when he bought the noble farm in Methuen, of David Whittier, on which he lived till his death, and on a third of which my beloved and venerated mother has since resided. When the Rev. Hezekiah Smith, about 1766, introduced the Baptist sentiment in Haverhill, and formed a new religious society there, my father, who had been a great admirer of Whitefield, as well as my mother, became one of his hearers and most resolute friends. He accompanied his minister on a tour into the Jerseys and Middle States. Dr. Smith appeared to value his friendship highly, and preached a laudatory disc~urse at his funeral. This connection with the Baptist WHITE GENEALOGY. 31

Society in Haverhill, prevented the kind of intercourse with the Methuen people which results from religious association. He never manifested any taste for public life, nor held any office to my knowledge, except the military one of Captain. I have always understood that my father was early attached to Miss Hoyt, who became Mrs. Hazen, and who~ he married when she became a widow. After her death, having five children, and being about forty-seven years old, he married my mother for his second wife, who was then about nineteen. I have no recollection of the slightest mark of unkindness, in word or manner between my father and mother; and this led, perhaps, to the impression which I always had of their perfect suitableness in age, as in everything else. My father was large, erect, about six feet in height, light complexion; my mother small, dark eyes, and said to be, when young, very handsome. Though he was fully in sympathy with my mother in religion, he had no respect for ministers who relied on their learning and natural powers, instead of the assistance· of the Spirit; and who preached from notes, or, as he called it, read sermons. I have heard him declare to some of the Methuen people, who had taxed him for such preaching, that, if they wanted reading instead of preaching, he would himself read to them, and with a good loud voice (raising his voice, which was remarkably powerful), better sermons than they had, and for half the price they paid. He was generous and noble spirited, yet so careful that nothing should be lost, that I had, when young, the impression that he was rather close and saving; but, while he wished nothing should be lost, he was com­ paratively indifferent what became of it, provided it went to do good. He had never accumulated property; and had not his brother William, of Boston,-a rich merchant, who died in 1774, leaving about $100,000, without children, -provided means, I know not how my father would have been able to keep till his death his large farm, and bring up, as he did, so large a family of children. It was owing to a dividend from this estate that my father was enabled to send me to college, and to defray my expenses there; which, however, in part, I afterwards refunded. My mother was left a widow at the age of fifty-two, with a long life before her of toils and cares for others. Never was mother more tender, affectionate, disinterested, unwearied, and self-denying in her devotion to the wants, and even wishes, of her children, and in her labors for their good and happin·ess, than my own blessed, beloved, and venerated mother.

49, 26o (V.) TIMOTHY WHITE, son of William and Sarah Phillips White, b. in Haverhill 'Sept. 23, 1724; m. ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY, dau. of Capt. ---- Montgomery [ who commanded a s;hip sailing between Boston and London]. He was sometime a pookseller of Boston, afterwards of Plaistow, N. H., where he d. Sept. 1791, aged 67. His portrait is now in the possession of his gr.-grd. dau., Mrs. Annie F. Richards. It represents a benevolent and cheerful personag!!; the merry expression about the eyes leads one to accept, as true, the following story handed down from father to son: His two young sons came to him one morning, to ask for a written excuse to carry to their master, for truancy the previous day; their father granted the request, and the boys departed, note in hand, happy to escape the punishment for their wrong-doing. The master read, " You will please excuse Timothy and James for playing truant yesterday, but give them all they deserve to­ day." His father left an estate valued at £4,070 3s. In_ his will, dated Dec. 26, 1737, he says, "For my five sons my will is that they shall be all equal sharers in my Estate, and what ~hall be lay'd out upc;>n my two youngest sons (Timothy & Phillips] after they come to tµe age of four­ teen for trades, shall be reducted out of their portion,_ and my two daughters shall be equal to one son." Timothy, one of ~he sons men­ tioned in the will, with his sister Mar.y, "both being mi_nors and upwards of fourteen years of age, do put and constitute our uncle Capt. Nichs. White, of Haverhill, in ye county of Essex, gent., to be ·our Guardian." I He was also the executor of their father's will. This document, bearing the siguatures of the youthful Timothy and Mary, is in :the possession of his gr.-grd. dau. Mrs. Augusta Plummer Foster, and is greatly prized as the only writing preserved in his own hand. His br~ther William (page 16), a merchant of Boston, d. 1773, leaving no children. His estate, say Dr. Shattuck's notices, amounted to £9,326 3s. 3d., a portion of which fell to his brother Timothy. The following extracts are gleaned from the probate records : " He did not mention his brothers in his willt neither was any disposition made of the residue of the estate, thercforet about the time the will was probated the heirs sign~d, .and ~ealed an agreement in which they set forth, that whereas it was evident from memoranda left by said William it was his intention that there should have been a disposition of the residue, and that such a disposition was 34 WHITE GENEALOGY.

intended for the brothers, therefore they agreed that after payment of the legacies, etc., according to the terms of the will, the residue should g~ to ~:1d be divided among the brothers, and at the same time the other heirs having any claim to the residue released their rights. This instrument was executed on Oct. 18, 1774." Children: -

In the Hampden burying ground are monuments erected by their children bearing the following inscriptions: "In memory of Elizabeth Wait, daughter of Samuel and Susan Rand, born in Plymouth, who died July 1, 1826, aged 27 years. There is rest in heaven." "James White, born Feb. 21, 1774, died June 27, 1852, aged 78. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." "Susan White, wife of James White, born Sept. 18, 178o, died Feb. 28, 1851, aged 70. Our mother, we cherish her memory. She Sleeps in Jesus." "Mrs. White was baptised by Dr. Baldwin, in Boston, in 1803. In 1816, she removed to Hampden, Me., where she commenced that course of active and consistent piety which distinguished her to the day of her death. A Sabbath School was at once opened (though in a mere wilder­ ness), which she continued in her house for thirty years. To her belongs the high honor of establishing the first Sabbath School in the State of Maine; though at first designed for the benefit of her own family, other children, being invited, came in, until it eventually numbered forty or fifty children. These labors she engaged in every Sabbath day, after returning three miles from the meeting which she constantly attended. So great was the interest she exerted, that the children would wade through the deep and sometimes unbroken snows, from a circuit of four or five miles, arriving at her house drenched with wet. This fact shows the wonilerful power she had over the minds of youth, and which dis­ tinguished her in an eminent degree. Having no library in that early age of the Sabbath School enterprise, to supply the wants of the desti­ tute she procured frequent donations of Bibles and Testaments from her old friends in Boston, who cherished a lively interest in her labors. ·Her plan was to give each one a Testament, who would commit to memory the Sermon on the Mount. In this manner she gave away more than a thousand Bibles and Testaments. A few when they had gained their prize left the school; but the great majority continued for HELIOTYPE PRINT NG CO., BOSTON, MASS.

How much good she accomplished by this agency the revelations of the last day only can unfold. It is believed that one brother now laboring in the ministry in this State, ascribes his conversion, under God, to the instructions received in this school. Sister White's illness was short and sudden, and was not considered dangerous till a day or two before her decease. Her reason left her the day before she died; except for a brief interval, when her husband asked, ' Is Jesus precious now?' ' Yes, yes, yes,' she replied, and added, quoting from a favorite hymn of Watts':-

' He's my defence from death and sin; ' From foes without, and foes within."

But in truth, from her. lips we needed nothing. For nearly half a century she had been witnessing daily that 'Jesus was precious;' and the eloquence of her godly and consistent life far outweighs any­ thing she could have uttered in death. It was meet that she should 'die silent.' Her funeral sermon was delivered on the following Sabbath afternoon, by her pastor, Rev. G. B. Williams, from Rev. 14: 13. A large and tearful audience attested to the high respect and love with which she was regarded. Her absence will be painfully felt in the house of God and in conference of the church; but especially will her cheerful smile and Christian conversation be missed in the circle which for more than twenty years she enlivened with her presence. Yet her influence is not lo~t. Constantly will they feel the sweet savor of her glowing piety, her childlike faith, her gentleness and love. To a much more than an ordinary share of intellect, Mrs. White united no small amount of energy, decision, and perseverance. Whatever she undertook was calmly considered and firmly accomplished. She possessed a large amount of sympathy and genuine benevolence. Generous to a proverb, nothing could exceed the delight with which she sought out poor children and unfortunate neighbors for the purpose of ministering to their wants. The interests of the church of which she was a member, the cause of missions, of Sabbath schools, of education, in fact, any benevolent object was sure to find a strong hold upon her aid, her sympathies, and her prayers. Most delightful was it to witness her simple and cheerful faith. If fears were expressed to her concerning the welfare of the church, she would reply in her peculiar manner, 'Dear child, trust in God.' As an affectionate, devoted, and faithful mother, she was beyond all praise. She succeeded in a remarkable degree in leaving the impress of her character, her counsels, and her prayers upon the minds of her children. It will be pleasing to her friends to know that her companion is waiting in faith and patience, ready for his own departure. 'If,' said he, 'I knew I should be laid WHITE GENEALOGY. by her side in a few days I should rejoice.' Henceforth, he desires 'to know nothing save Christ and Him crucified.'" Hampden, 1851. W.

James White was educated at the Boston Latin School, and was to study law, for which his intellectual tastes well fitted him; his father's death obliged him to relinquish this object, and caused a disappointment to which he was never reconciled. At the age of 17 he was left alone, the sole representative of his family, and under the guardianship of relatives. Later in life he would talk to his children of the early com­ fortable, and even luxurious, home in Boston, which he had erijoyed until his father's death, superintended, since the death of his motht!r, by the stately housekeeper," Madame Gerrish," who left a vivid impression on his vouthful., mind. He was in business in Boston until 1816, when the financial depression, consequent upon the recent war of 1812, caused his removal to Hampden, Me., where he engaged in agriculture.. He had cultivated tastes, fine literary and intellectual ability, and was a poet to an admiring family and neighborhood. A well-filled book of treasured poems, in fine writing, was unfortunately destroyed in the burning of the house of his son Charles, at Jamaica Plain, in 1850. -Cut off from earlier and brighter associations, Mr. White with his able wife devoted themselves to the education of a large family; the mother not forgetting, in her patriotic zeal, to assemble and read aloud to her boys, every "Fourth of July" morning, the "Declaration of Inde­ pendence." With a few well-chosen books, and still holding interest and correspondence with influential friends in Boston, who supplied them from time to time with other books of value, they were enabled to prepare their children for the duties of life. "He was. an active and important member of the Baptist church. A strict observer of the Sabbath, and strong in his convictions of duty, a leader in town meetings and political discussions;" and it is said that, like Gold­ smith's schoolmaster, " E'en though vanquished, he could argue still." He lived after his wife's death, in 1851, with his son Joseph, in Bangor, and was interested in the benevolent works of the city and church. He had a large Bible class of men up to the time of the short illness which ended his life. Surrounded by his children and conscious to the last, he passed away peacefully on Sunday morning as the church bells were ringing. He wrote the following letter to his friend Hon. Heman Lincoln, in reply to a letter of condolence on the recent death of his wife, on date March 18, 1851, when in his 78th year.

WHITE GENEALOGY. 37 mind me of the days of my youth. You know well, that I have through life been sailing through seas somewhat boisterous ; and for want of an implicit confidence in the shipmaster, I have been subjected to much unnecessary trouble and vexation. But it is now (through grace) very different with me. I have been taught submission to the will 9f God and to rejoice in the rectitude of His perfect government. Perhaps there is no time in our lives when a separation is more keenly felt than in old age, when, after having gone through the perplexities of active life, we are hoping for a short season of calm reflection and tranquil en­ joyment, " before we go hence to be no more seen." A separation between husband and wife in old age, is in most cases a truly irreparable loss, and the survivor must plod on his way alone as best he may; a host of circumstances present themselves to forbid a new union taking place on earth. Mrs. White and myself had, for a long time past, been expecting a separation, for altho' she had been uncommon smart and active through the winter. she would frequently say she could not sur­ vive long: so that this bereavement, altho' sudden and unexpected at the time, was anticipated. A new scene is opening before my few remain­ ing days. I have no desire, taste, nor energy for continuing former pursuits, but am busily engaged in bringing to a close the hitherto pleas­ ing scenes of Hampden, where nearly half my days, and by far the happiest part, have been spent. I have just entered upon my 78th year, and I feel a growing unwillingness to be interrupted, unnecessarily, by the petty concerns of time and sense. I am waiting for the stage unen­ cumbered by baggage of any description, and have only to move on.

"Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee 0, Lamb of God, I come."

Let us be very particular to not dishonor God by doubts and fears. The union between Christ and his people is of such a nature, as makes a disunion impossible. I wish you would remember me affectionately to Brother Jenkins ; I had a short but very pleasant interview with him when I was in Boston several years ago. I wish also to be affec­ tionately remembered to your Sister Sarah, because she is one of those steadfast friends, the forgetting of whom is something entirely out of the question.

He returned to Boston at 16 years of age, with letters to his Phillips connections, and was soon in business, applying himself closely to the interests of his employers. At 21, he started in the woolen and dry goods business, and was well known as an enterprising and successful merchant. He lived in Boston for a few years after his marriage, then built a house and removed to Roxbury, that part now known as Jamaica Plain. In I 834 this house was burned to the ground; it was rebuilt in the same year, and occupied by Mr. White until 1849. In this year he received threatening letters to extort money, the purpori being that if he exposed them his premises would be fired. The writer was taken and convicted, but one of his "forty associates " executed the threats contained in the letters, the stable was destroyed by fire Dec. 6, 1849, and the house April 27, 1850. Mr. and Mrs. White with ten children and three servants, barely escaped with their lives, in their night clothes. Sewing machines and ready-made c::lothing were then unknown, and but for the generous action of relatives and friends, by whom they were taken by twos and threes to be housed and clad, I know not what the mother would have done with her homeless children. Mr. White lived again in Boston from 1849to 1853, when he relinquished the dry goods business, and became largely interested in real estate. He secured several hundreds of acres in Dorchester, and through his unusual energy and ability the prosperous manufacturing town of Hyde Park was developed. Here he lived for many years. The seaside resorts with the railroad facilities, and other improvements, extending to and beyond Revere Beach are the results of his foresight and earnest desire to see summer homes provided for families with moderate incomes. Though he was the projector of these and other great interests, he never claimed honors for himself, being content to see the fruit of his well-laid plans. As success came in his early business career, substantial benefits were bestowed upon those left in the Ha:q1pden home, tuition paid, money and advice given to younger brothers starting in business, not forgetting the feminine comforts and fancies to the mother and sisters. The great object since leaving his parents, was to see them provided with a good home for life. He writes, July 31, 1834: "Dear Father and Mother,- I have forwarded to Augustus a deed for life to both and each of you, of Homestead and Pomeroy lot. It is a primary object with me to have you secured, in every contin­ gency, in the entire control and possession of the premises, not leaving it in the power of any one to molest you.

has long signified a willingness to purchase a part of the place, and that he then should be willing to do his part of whatever you might require. I thought Stillman had better be interested also, thinking it would be agreeable to him, as well as all the family. They have each concluded to purchase,and I forward a deed for them to put on record. I hope this arrangement will give perfect satisfaction to all parties, and yourselves in particular. We hardly know what is for the best, but whether this arrangement prove a blessing to us all, or otherwise, the motive that has impelled to the arrangement has been to pro- ·mote 'peace and good will' in the family." One who" knew Mr. White, both in his daily walk and at his fireside for many years," writes of him: "His years exceeded the allotted time of the psalmist, and were not uneventful, for this was a busy, thoughtful, earnest life, one most singularly crowned with good thoughts~ kind words, and· good deeds for others. His kindness and generosity knew no limit, but he shrank from any house-top announcement of them, and his own left hand never knew what his right hand did. For himself or his own interests, immediate or remote, he never seemed to have a care or to entertain · a thought. And he was a philosopher in the"highest and best sense, because he seemed ,vithout an · effort to turn towards him the· silver lining to every cloud. Troubles never appeared to trouble hiin, and obstacles that · ·crushed most men made his spirits all the more buoyant, and iri some marvellous way only seemed to put him in better trim for trying to surmount them. And this wonderful ever-pres~nt power was the well-earned result of a mind thoroughly intel­ lectual and thoroughly disciplined, for he was a reading and a thinking man, and his mind was a large storehouse of valuable information. He was much interested in the city of Boston, in her commercial prosperity and business growth, and in her people. Nor was he Ifmited to this pent-up Utica, for his inind was of broader scope, and took in, in an ardent patriotism and comprehensive grasp, not only our whole country, its politics, government, and people, and its future, but those of every European nation; for he read and remembered and thoroughly digested everything. He was a devoted admirer of Daniel Webster, and passed the last night of Webster's life with him at his bedside in Marshfield, and was with him at the last. Familiar with all of Webster's public speeches, he could in an instant tell if a passage was misquoted. He was fond of, and familiar with, the Bible, and with the best authors, and he could easily repeat at will much of the sublimest poetry of our language, and when he did repeat it, he felt it all.

aspirations were always noble and high, his sense of right and justice strongly marked, and throughout his life he could willingly wrong no man, nor speak ill of any one (a fine thing, that), nor do anything mean or dishonest, low or small, or harbor any thought of such. What Lucan said of Cresar never could be said of him: ' Gaudetque vlam feclsse rulna.' And he was a gentleman of the old school, of fine and courteous manners, of true nobility of character, and of a disposition unalterably sweet and kind. His presence always charmed, as his wise counsel, always cheerily given, never failed to help. Generous, kind, good soul, at rest at last. May we be as sure as he of hearing that welcome: ' Well done, good and faithful servant,' enter." He was an ardent patriot and spared no pains to perpetuate the principles which he had accepted as a precious legacy. Inheriting from his New England· ancestry a deep religious faith, combined with an intellect of a high order, he met with true philosophy the varied changes of life with cheerfulness and trust. He rejoiced not in unrighteousness, but rejoiced in truth, believ­ ing, hoping, and enduring all things, until, at the close of a long and useful life, he entered peacefully into the eternal rest.

William Augustus was first named Stephen Decatur; but, in disap­ proval of the manner of his death, he having been killed in a duel, his father caused his name to be changed to William Augustus, and writes in the family Bible "From the respect due a relative of that name (see page 6o) who was sailing master on board the American frigate ' Chesapeake,' and there slain June 1, while supporti'ng his country's rights, in \VHITE GENEALOGY.

Do thou, my son, a generous spirit crave; Dare to be virtuous, honest, true, and brave; And when thy country heaves a plaintive sigh, Espouse her cause, tho' in her cause you die." William passed his boyhood in Hampden, Me. He came to• Boston in his early manhood, and engaged in the wholesale woolen business with his brother Charles until 1856, after­ wards in New York City. He founded, in 1868, the real­ estate firm of William A. White & Sons. The business is now continued by his sons, Augustus and Alfred L. White. Dur­ ing his residence in Boston, he was prominent in the Free­ Soil and Anti-Slavery movement. He was associated with Eli Thayer and others in organizing the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society, for the colonization of Kansas, which did so much to secure Kansas as a free State, in opposition to the Missouri "Border Ruffians." He was one of the organizers, and for many years a deacon, of the Tremont Street Baptist Church, in Roxbury, and was active in all Christian work. Children : - 343 1.

and remained at home during his boyhood under rare Chris• tian education and training. In 1829 he engaged in the wholesale dry-goods business in Bangor, which he continued until his death, nearly sixty years later. He was a man of great enterprise and business ability, interesting himself in real estate and all other affairs related to the prosperity of the city. Masonic Block, which he erected in connection with the Masonic Order, is a prominent monument to his enter­ prise. He served several years in the city government, and was a candidate for Mayor at the election before his death. Among other positions of trust he was President of the Bangor Humane Society. He was also an ardent worker in the temperance cause. Mr. White early united with the First Baptist Church, and when, in 1845, the Second Baptist Church was organized, Dea. White entered heartily into the movement; his name, with that of his wife, appears in the list of original members. Closely identified with the varied interests of the Baptist Society, he was for forty years Superintendent. of the Sunday school, three years President of the Maine Missionary Society, and for nearly forty years a most valued member of its Board of Trustees. His contri­ butions were large, averaging $2,000 annually. He was one of the main pillars and supporters of the Second Church, being largely instrumental in the building of its house of worship. His daughter once said, in passing this building, "If ever I come to want, I will take refuge under the shadow of this meeting-house." His last Sunday but one on earth was spent in the instruction of his Bible class, one of the largest ever assembled in the Sunday school of which he had been a teacher ten years. He was so weak that it was necessary to take him to his son's house in a carriage, where he died about a week later. Thus fell the "last leaf" from the family tree, one of a large family of brothers and sisters, each remarkable in their way. Mr. White in his private life was no less conspicuous for rare virtues than in his business and public career. Intensely active in good works, his giving was systematical and generous, beyond what will ever be known. Given to generous hospitality and boundless charity, there seemed to be no limit to his purse or strength. The sick and in prison, wherever the burdens of life pressed heavily, received such spiritual and material aid from him as to make his life a rare instance of devotion to Christian work, thus leaving an abiding impress of his sincerity upon those who came within the sphere of his usefulness.

tavern belonging to Mr. John White, April 16, 1775. He was a member of the Provincial Congress in 177 5, inspector of schools 1789, and was on the committee in 1778 to supply families of those soldiers from the town who were in the army. " Marchant White " was a wealthy and influential citizen of Haverhill, whose house, built in 1766, is still stand­ ing on Water Street next west of the Merrimack Bank. This three-story mansion was one of the most imposing and costly dwellings in the region. Its deep and terraced front-yard, with tall poplar trees, flowers, shrubbery, and ample stone steps, have all disappeared, and the street now presses close to the house, which retains but little of its exterior aristo­ cratic appearance. The fine hall, with its stately stairway, is in good preservation. At this entrance in 1789, George Washington entered to visit Mr. White, and exchange healths with the merchant in a glass of wine. Though earnestly invited to occupy apartments prepared for him, he replied to his would-be hostess, that "he was an old soldier, and used to hard fare and a hard bed/' He is described as "tall, straight, remarb:bly dignified, and wore a .drab surtout, then a fashionable color with the most respectable gentlemen." Mrs. Leonard White, dau. of Senator Tristram Dalton, of Newburyport, and daughter-in-law of Mr. John White, was a frequent visitor, some times of weeks together, of Mrs. Washington. Rev. Hezekiah Smith writes: "Sept. 20, 1764, went with John White in his chaise to Newbury." He owned the only chaise in Haverhill. Children: - . 228,402 1.

Appleton White, after a career of honor and usefulness, came to his grave without finding his more than four-score years 'labor and sorrow.' In 1792, at Atkinson Academy, N. H., he was fitted for Harvard Col­ lege, from which he graduated in I 797 with the highest honors, enjoying through life the associations there formed. He taught for two years in the Public Grammar School of l\lediord, and in 1797 was ap·pointed tutor in Latin at Harvard College, an office which he held for four years, warmly attaching to himself through life not a few who then came under his care. In 1803 he removed to Salem to finish his law studies, already begun during his tutorship, in the office of Samuel Putnam, afterwards Judge Putnam. In 1804 he was admitted to the Bar at Newburyport, and from 1810 to 1815 was an active member of the Massachusetts Senate, as a zealous Federalist. He was elected to Congress in 1814, by an almost unanimous vote. His trunk was packed for }-js journey to Washington, when he relinquished the tempting prospects of a Congres­ sional career to accept the appointment of Judge of Probate for Essex County, an office which he held for thirty-eight years, resigning it in 1853 at the age of seventy-seven. He gave a signal illustration of his :fidelity to domestic duties in thus eagerly grasping an opportunity to be nearer his motherless daughtt:rs. In 1817 he removed to Salem, where he spent the remainder of his life. He enjoyed his drives to the scattered towns of the county on probate days, being wont to take a son or a daughter with him, who felt doubly blest when the circuit included a night's rest at Methuen, under the roof of grandmother White. As an overseer of Harvard College and member of one of its examining committees, he loved to keep up his interest in the institution. He cherished also the social intercourse developed through his connection with the Massachusetts Historical Society. His home was the centre of a wide hospitality, and among his correspondents were men of rare eminence; but the claims of his own household were not overlooked, one of his children having received upwards of six hundred letters from him. Judge \,Vhite's publications are enumerated in the late Rev. James \Valker's memoir of his life, published by the 11assachusetts Historical Society; the earliest is a eulogy on George Washington, delivered at the request of the inhabi­ tants of Methuen, printed at Haverhill in 1800. In 1822 he published a book on Probate Jurisdiction. Among other publications are eulogies upon Hon. Nathaniel Bowditch, delivered in Salem in 1838; and upon Hon. John Pickering in Boston, in 1846, before the American Academy of Arts and Science; also addresses at the consecration of Harmony Grove Cemetery, in Salem, in 1840, and that before the· Alumni of Harvard College in 1844. The closing months of his life were-employed· in rewriting a brief sketch of the founders of the First Church, in Salem, whose catholicity of spirit he sought to vindicate. Much as he vener­ ated his parents and valued their Christian example, be had suffered so WHITE GENEALOGY. acutely in his youth from the pictures of hell, drawn by the imagination of strolling Calvinistic artists, who found their way into sundry pulpits,. : that he did not hesitate to adopt ' as his own ' more liberal interpretations · of the gospel. Channing was his college friend, and Channing's subse­ quent views. of Christianity gained his sympathy. In Rev. Dr. G. W. Brigg's. Memoir, prepared for the Essex Institute, in Salem, of which Judge White was President, as well as in Dr. Walker's and in that of Rev. H. W. Foote - prepared at a later period for the Hist. Gen. Soc. - warm tributes are paid to the genial and gracious traits which distinguished him, as well as to his moral fearlessness and his high Christian standard. By precept and example, he was a pioneer in the temperance reform. For tobacco his- disgust was unbounded;. he felt that he had suffered in his earlier life from its use. ' In season and out of season ' he bore his testimony against it. He accumulated many books, and gave away a large number to kinsfolk and strangers. In life, and a second time by will, lie gave the bulk of his library to the Essex Institute. In convey­ ing, at the market price, to the projectors of the city of Lawrence, that part of liis father's farm which he owned, he desired that six acres should be reserved, within which was a family burial lot. This desire was granted, but he was restricted from building on the land. When at his request, upon certain conditions, the restriction was removed, he, by a trust deed, devoted the profits from the sales of these lands (the small burial lot excepted) to the purposes of lectures and a library, bearing emphatically in mind the 'moral, intellectual, and Christian advancement of the inhabitants of the town of Lawrence.' It appears that sixteen hundred tickets to these lectures are gratuitously distributed, and that applicants multiply beyond the capacity of the lecture hall to accommo­ date them. Rev. H. W. Foote says of the Salem and Lawrence bene­ factions, that they 'are ampler than are sometimes bestowed by men of far larger estate.' He further says 'his closing years were those of an ideal old age. Retaining the vigor of his tall and noble presence, free from physical or 1nental infirmity, his hair scarcely touched with silver, his step elastic as in youth, he had the full enjoyment of his powers, and was busy with his studies till near the close of his eighty-fifth year.' Clinging through life to the memories of the old Federal party, Judge White was later a Whig, and subsequently a Republican, rejoicing in the election of Abraham Lincoln, and saying, 'You will find that he will be resolved upon retaking those forts; he cannot help himself; he is bound to it by his oath of office.' He lived long enough to see his prediction verified by President Lincoln's inaugural. No parent could have been less exacting as regards attentions paid to himself, nor one more eagerly alive to rendering any little help than he. However grave his demeanor, he could. instantlv throw himself into the mood of the infant that he tossed in his arms, or the traveling kinsfolk whom he stoutly debarred from seeking shelter under any tavern roof. To such of his household WHITE GENEALOGY. 73

as survive him, his memory is not only a treasure, but a daily inspiration. Although he has been gone from earth eight and twenty years, they feel to-day less than ever that they have lost him." Children: -

several months. His interest in this work, now in press, was such that it would seem incomplete without further mention of him. Now that his untimely death renders it permissible, the extracts taken from obituary and other notices will be of interest in showing the purity and strength of his life and influence. The Henry Wilder whose name he bore must have· been a choice kindred spirit, as the traditions bring him down to us as a youth of singular charm and purity, early and suddenly summoned away. "Mr. Foote was educated in the Salem schools, and grad­ uated at Harvard College in I 8 58. Doubtless the knowledge that his mother, a woman of rare gifts and endowed with a wealth of affection, met her own death ih carrying him past the crisis of typhoid fever late in 1857, set the seal of consecration upon the work of the ministry, upon which he at once entered after graduating at the Cambridge Divinity School in 1861. From parishes in Cincinnati and in Portsmouth, N. H., he had received calls, but he accepted in preference the invita­ tion of the King's Chapel, Boston, over which he was ordained in 1861, being the successor of the late Rev. Ephraim Peabody." "Thoroughly loyal to his country, he became at once an earnest advocate of the cause of the Union. The beautiful mural monument upon the wall of King's Chapel to the memory of the young men who lost their lives in their country's defense, attests the vigor and heartiness with which the members of Mr. Foote's congregation upheld the nation's cause. Mr. Foote's entire professional life has been devoted to the interests of King's Chapel. His first parish, it was his last. But it was not his church and parish alone that claimed his attention. He was interested in all the charitable enterprises of Boston. He was a scholarly man, a thoroughly well-read theologian. He was conversant ,vith the best thought of the time. He was a great reader of books, and was judicious in their selection. A valuable contribution to local history is the 'Annals of King's Chapel' from his pen. 11 Rev. George L. Chaney says of him in his memorial sermon: "He had a genius for consolation, and none knew so well as he what to say, and what to leave unsaid in the memorials of the honored and lamented dead. . And you will re­ member the bicentennial in 1886 of this venerable church, and how wisely and picturesquely, thanks largely to his instructed oversight, King's Chapel kept its 200th birthday.'; Rev. Dr. A. P. Peabody says in a memorial address: "He WHITE GENEALOGY. 75

spoke the truth in love, yet he used great plainness of speech. . . . His sermons had superior artistical and literary merit, . . . and while their average standard was high, I have often listened to sermons of his which I wanted all the world to hear. . . • A former minister of a so-called orthodox church in Salem, who did not know him then, told me, a day or two ago, of young people in his church who used to ascribe the best that was in them to their acquaintance with Mr. Foote. . . . Love for him and grief for his loss have levelled sectarian fences." A lady parishioner of his writes in a letter, July 21: "It seems to us that his loss to his friends, to his family, and to the church is greater every day; and I hardly yet realize that we can go to him no more on earth for tender sympathy and wise counsel." Among the publications of Mr. Foote are: "Discourse at the End of Ten Years' Ministry;" "James Freeman and King's · Chapel 1782-87" (reprinted from the Religious Magazine); "The Wisdom from Above " (sermon preached in King's Chapel Jan. 3, 1875, occasioned by the death of Rev. James Walker, D. D., LL. D., late President of Harvard University); "Memories of the Closing Year" (preached Dec. 28, 1879); "In Memoriam John Amory Lowell;" "Annals of King's Chapel.
