PREFACE.

BOUT ten years ago the late William Charles Gilman, of New York city, gave the writer an outline of the pedi­ gree of a portion of the defcendants of the Hon. John Gilman, of Exeter, New Hampfhire. A rough copy of that outline formed the germ of the • prefent volume. An intereft was awakened, and inveftigations were purfued until Mr. Gilman propofed that the refults £hould be publifhed for the benefit of the family. In confequence of urgent folicitation and kind encouragement, the refearches were therefore continued on a more extenfive fcale. The writer's reluctance to enter upon fo laborious and expenfive a work, was overruled. The confideration that details of great intereft to our future families might thus be verified and preferved, which otherwife would be fore_ver loft, had much influence. It feems proper that a brief account of the means ufed in colletl:ing the data herein embodied, fhould be given in this . Vl Preface . place. In the year 1862 a circular was iff'ued from New York, where the writer then refided, and fent to the defcendants of John Gilman in many parts of America, in which inquiries were made on the fubjeB: of the family hiftory. No reftriB:ion was laid upon correfpondents in regard to the faB:s to be com­ municated, they being allowed perfeB: freedom to give any information whatever. In 1863 a preliminary pamphlet of fifty-one pages was printed, in which moft of the pedigrees received were recorded. This was circulated, accompanied with a requeft that all errors fuould be correB:ed and omiffions fupplied, and that additional biographical fketches fuould be fent to the author., all to be publifued free of expenfe. In a prefatory note in that pamph­ let this was again urged, and the offer was made to infert in the final record fuch fl:eel portraits as might be furnifued, which were alfo to be publifhed without charge . • In the courfe of the inveftigation the original home of John Gil man's ancefl:ors was difcovered in Norfolk county., England, and members of the family now refiding there met the unex­ peB:ed, and, to them, furprifing advances from this fide of the water, with the deepeft intereft and in the moft fraternal fpirit. In 1864, in order frill further to elicit faB:s, a fecond pamph­ let, of twenty-four pages, with engravings, was iffued, which contained the pedigrees difcovered in England. In that publica­ tion the members of the family were again urged to fend information to the writer. In 186 5, a perfonal examination was made of the localities in Preface. Vll

England conneB:ed with the family hiftory, and fome new faB:s of intereft were gathered. In purfuing the work the acquai~tance has been made of numerous reprefentatives of the name. They are fcattered from Maine to Minnefota, and from Georgia to Canada, while a few, who have ftrayed beyond the great central plain, are found on the other fide of the Rocky Mountains. ConneB:ed with their eaftern friends by the new railway to the Pacific, they look weftward to their kinfmen in the Flowery Kingdom, and thus eftabliili a circuit of· the world. The writer's memory of the hofpitable attentions received on both £ides of the At­ lantic, and of the pleafant acquaintances made, will ever remain frefh, confl:ituting not the leaft of thofe compenfating advan­ tages always attendant upon labor. The biographical !ketches in this volume are derived from a variety of fources. Some are comparatively full, while others will be found meagre in detail. They bear a proportion to the information placed at the author's difpofal. Some of them are more complete than the immediate relatives were able to pre­ pare. No important faB:s have been intentionally omitted, while it may be found that in fome cafes all the faB:s that fhould have been recorded have not been communicated to the writer. To a number of friends acknowledgments are due for biographical !ketches, and for important details of perfonal hiftory. To one of our name the writer is indebted for encouragement and generous pecuniary aid, without which it would have been impracticable for hi1n to have accomplifhed v111 Preface. what has been done. The work of the writer of thefe lines has largely confifted in arranging the handiwork of others. How far he has been able to realize his conception of a perfect: genealogy is for others to fay. The refult is prefented with great diffidence, and if it ferve no other end than to unite the family in clofer bonds of friendfuip in the prefent generation, . and to prove the foundation of a worthier record at fome future - - time, the labor will not have been vain. .Arthur Gilman.

HE arrangement of this volume requires but little explanation. Each individual in the direct line of defcent from the firft Edward Gilman, is defignated by a numeral which is ufed when reference is made to him, as on page z4, and elfewhere. When a male member of the family has had defcendants, the numeral indicating his eldeft child is placed in parenthesis after the father's name. The fame enumeration is continued through the three principal branches, though, for convenience, the Gilmanton branch is made to begin with number 600, and the Newmarket branch with number 800. The author's original ignorance of his anceftors caufed him to collect the pedigrees of many not of John Gilman's line, moil: of whom are defcendants of his brothers Edward and Mofes. Thefe are included in this volume. By purfuing this courfe the frequent intermarriages of dif­ ferent branches of the family are more clearly explained, and the value of the book is, it is hoped, increafed. For the fake, alfo, of making the various Gilma·ns acquainted fame­ what with the wide-fpread circle bearing the name, reference is made at the clofe of thefe pedigrees to fondry other branches in England, Ireland, and America.

INTRODUCTION.

It is wife for us to recur to the hiflory of our Anceftors. Thofe who do not look upon themfelves as a link connecHng the pa!f: with the future, do not perform their duty to the World. Daniel WebjJer.

N 1827 it was faid,* "Edward Gil­ man's defcendants are as numerous as the fands on the fea lhore. There is hardly a State in the Union where they may not be found. The family have been in civil office from the time our colony became a royal pro­ 'I\ vince to the prefent time. John I =,l,Ulljjjlll Gilman was one of the firfr Counfellors named in Prefident Cutts' commiffion, and died in I 708. Colonel Peter Gilman was one of the royal Counfellors in I 772. Hon.

Our ecclefiaftical annals have, alfo, Rev. Nicholas Gil­ man, Harvard College, 1724; and Rev. Triftram Gilman, Harvard College, I 757, both refpecl:ed clergymen and ufeful men." Thefe words are quoted in fubftance from Mr. Lincoln's work. If he had written forty years later he would have found the family ftill more numerous, and many additions would have been made to his lift of prominent men bearing the Gilman name. The family of Gilman is not one furnifhing a few brilliant exceptions in a long lift of commonplace names. Its members appear gen~rally to have been remarkable for the quiet home virtues, and rather to have defired to be good citizens, than men of great name. To an eminent degree they appear to have obtained the efteem and refpecl: of thofe neareft to them, for found judgment and fterling traits of character. Thus in the towns in which they have dwelt their reputation is high. How true this remark is of Samuel Hey hoe Le Neve Giln1an, of Hingham, England, of William Charles Gilman, of New York City, of Rev. Samuel Gilman, of Charleft~n, South Carolina, of Governor John Taylor Gilman, and Jofeph Taylor Gilman, of Exeter, of Judge J ofeph Gilman, and Benjamin Ives Gilman, of Marietta, Ohio, all of whom are now de­ ceafed, and of many more, thofe who knew them in their lives can heft tell. They were men of firm principle, of great determination, of enterprife, and of a ftrong fenfe of duty. Truly their memory is bleifed !

CILMIN OF NORTH WALES.

The earlieft difcovered records of anything like the name of Gilman are connected with Wales. Ci/min Troed-dhu of Glynllifon in U web Gwir Vai, in Caer-yn-Arvonfuire, lived in the year 843, in the time of Rod­ erick the Great, with whom he came out of the North of Britain. He bore Argent, a Man's Leg couped, fable.* The Glyns of Glynllifon are defcended from Cilmin, whofe name is alfo fpelled Kilmin. This Cilmin was head of one of the fifteen noble tribes of North Wales, and there appears to be good reafon to believe that he was one of the anceftors of the Gilmans of England, Ireland and America. Mifs Louifa Stuart Coftello, in her very interefting work on North Wales, fays : . " We were now in a part of Caernarvon­ fuire not often vifited by ftrangers, as it is a little out of the direct route. * * * This part of Wales is peculiarly wild and fingular, and anfwers more to the oppofite coaft of Brittany than moft of the country. There are ftrange traditions be­ longing to it, although, as ufual, they are nearly worn out amongft the people, who are far beyond their Breton neighbors in information, and a contempt for Old-World ftories. Still it is here that V ortigern's Valley extends, and its legends cannot be altogether forgotten. It is here that the myfrerious ifland of faints may be vifited., and all its wonders are not fwept away.

* See A Difplay of Herauldry, of the particular coat armours now in ufc in the fix counties of North Wales, etc., by John Reynolds, of Ofweftry, Antiquarian, Chefter: Printed by Roger Adams for the Author, 1739. Pages 4 and 15. 4 Defcendants of John Gilman. Here, after following St. Beuno through Wales, from Holywell, we found him again at Clynog ; and here we approached thofe beautiful mountains Yr Eifl, called in Englifu the Rivals, once dedicated to Fire Worfuip. " Great part of this diftricl: belongs to the eftate of Lord N ewborough, who has a charming place called Glynlifon, fitu­ ated on the pretty brawling river Llifon, whofe origin is in the Cilgwyn mountains. "This family bear in their arms a man's leg coupe a la cuij/e, fable, in memory of their anceftor, a certain_ Cilmin Troed-du, or Kilmin with the black foot, one of the Fifteen Tribes of North Wales.* Thofe who wifu to account in a natural way for the circumftance of a Knight having a black leg, relate that in a defperate encounter the limb was fo much injured as to threaten mortification, and was obliged to be amputated; but the received opinion is fomething lefs commonplace. "The fact is, that Cilmin, living in the immediate vicinity of necromancers and demons, became the intimate friend of one of the former, who knew all the fecrets of nature, except one, which he was aware was contained in a volume, written by no human hand, and guarded by a demon, whofe abode was fo near the fummit of the forked mountains of Yr Eifl (for fo the Rivals were formerly called), or the Fiery. "The necromancer, though potent in his art, had no power even to attempt gaining poffeffion of this my:fl:ic book ; but he pined after the knowledge it concealed, and he imparted to his friend Cilmin the trouble of his foul. The Knight, who feared nothing, in:fl:antly offered to dare any adventure in order to · fatisfy his longing, and fet forth, armed at all points, for the dangerous fpot. The fage informed him that he mu:fl: ufe the

" Cilmin departed towards the mountain of the mighty Twins, and, after riding feveral hours, entered the gloomy vale of N ant-y-Gwytheyrn, which is crowded with rugged and lofty mountains, and opens only to the fea. He fpurred his freed over the fl:ony way, climbed the fides of a fieep declivity, and arrived at Tref-y-Caerau, or the Town of the Fortreffes, which runs from one fide of Yr Eifl to the other, and confifl:s of an immenfe rampart of huge fiones encircling the fummit of the mountain, and ending in a point which is almoft inacceffible. Thefe rocky barriers were filled with cells of every form, and at the time when Cilmin ventured on his errand they were known to be the refort of the demons who ferved the chief fpirit, whofe abode was on the highefl: pinnacle of the rock: there he dwelt with a hideous and terrible giantefs, his com­ panion, who executed his biddings, and caufed infinite defolation in the country. Their confiant fiudy was the Book, which in their hands taught only evil, but looked into by Chrifl:ian eyes would difclofe much that would ferve mankind. "The giantefs inhabited a cell on the fouth fide of Tref-y­ Caerau; it is called to this day Moel-carn-y-Guwch, and now rifes to a cone, being crowned by a huge pile of fiones like the ruins of a fortrefs ; but at that time the fiones were in the lap of the giantefs ; and her intention was to heat them red hot at the demon's fire, and caft them down upon the neighboring fields to deftroy them. Suddenly ihe beheld Cilmin riding im­ petuoufl y up the fi:eep, and, taken by furprife, fhe fi:arted from her feat, and let all the fl:ones fall from her apron, whence the place is frill called the Apron full of Stones. 6 Defcendants of 'John Gilman.

" Then followed a fearful combat with the giantefs, the demon and the Knight, the 1atter, by the help of his good fword and its crofs handle, was able at length to fell the demon to the earth, and fnatch from him the Book, which he always held beneath his ferpent wing. No fooner had the Knight gained his prize than he commenced to retreat ; and [purring his horfe, began to defcend the mountain, with the whole city of demons howling at his heels. On he went, over rock and through valley, making the ground reecho to his courfer's hoofs, and frill keep­ ing the rabble rout at bay. At length he reac~ed the ftream of the Llifon, and there, juft on the edge, his gallant freed fell, ex­ haufred and dying, and he felt that the demons were gaining on him; he knew that they could not crofs the river, but it was fo wide that fcarcely was it poffible for him to leap it; to ford it was impoffible, the current was too ftrong. An effort he felt mufr be made, and he hefitated no longer, but, rifing. on the back of his gallant freed, he gave a defperate fpring, and gained the oppofite fide. At that very moment his foot flipped, one of his legs funk into th, v.rater, and it was with extreme difficulty he could draw it forth again, and manage to climb up the bank. He felt as if a red hot iron grafp had feized his leg beneath the water, and he heard a loud, chuckling laugh as he hurried away from the fl:ream, and fought the hermitage of his friend the necromancer, to whom he gave the Book which he had gained at fuch rifk. "From that time the leg which the Demon had caught, became coal black, and the Knight was lame to his dying day. He always, in memory of the event, wore a fuit of black armor, which caufed him to be called Kilmen Troed, or Droed Du. " The pretty little river Llifon now runs through the grounds to which it gives name, fparkling and foaming at intervals over its rocky bed, as if it were frill ftartled by the denizens of the · Introduclion. 7 rocky mountains, and then fubfiding into clear lakes and rivulets, fpanned by fairy bridges, embofomed in flowering furubs, and paufing befide reclufe hermitages and grots where no fpirit lefs ethereal than a fum mer fairy, makes refort, in the form of a bird or a butterfly." * The age of the above myth cannot be determined, but it appears altogether probable that there was fuch a Knight in North Wales as Cilmin, in the reign of Roderick the Great, and that he bore the arms that are afcribed to him. The facl: that the Gilmans, in all branches of the family, have always borne the fame arms, and the fimilarity in the orthography of the names, adds weight to the opinion that Cilmin was the anceftor of all the Gilmans. The break in the line of defcent reaching from the time of the Anglo-Saxons to the reign of Henry the Eighth, a period of feven centuries, is eafily ac­ counted for by the unfettled £late of the countries of England and Wales, caufed by the fucceffi ve invafions of the Danes and Normans. It is alfo an eftablifued fact: that up to within a century or fo the right to bear a coat of arms was fo highly prized, and guarded fo carefully that its ufe by any perfon in England would be prima facie evidence of its validity. It is no lefs true that the omiffion of a coat of arms by Berry, Burke, or any other good authority on the fubjecl:, is by rio means a proof of its falfity, for there is no complete nor official lift of arms extant. The records of the peerage in England £how that even the highefi dignities have been revived by claimants fo remotely con­ nect:ed that even tradition was filent on the fubjecl: ; and as the main frem is generally the only line traced in printed Englifu

The monumental infcriptions over the Gilman graves in the Church at Hingham are uniformly furmounted by the arms of the family as given in this volume, and no room appears to be left for reafonable doubt of the right of the Gilmans in this line to bear the fame. In one of Mr. S. H. L. N. Gilman's notes to his engraver he refers to Fijher's Synopjis, 108, 114, for authority for the Gilman arms, but the writer has not been able to confult that work. In the Rev. Francis Blo1nefield's Hijlory of Norfolk, pub­ lifued in 1739, the arms of the Gilman family of that county are given, viz: a leg in pale, couped at the thigh. Crefl, a Demi­ Lyon i!fuing from a cap of maintenance. This is the defcription of the arms engraved in this volume. Every branch of the family of Gilman bears a leg couped at the thigh, on its arms, and fome have the fame member in fome form for a crefr. Works on heraldry inform us that the leg is the member of frrength, frability, expedition and obedience. The leg is always reprefented in Gilman arms as couped, or cut off with an even cut, and never erafed, which latter fignifies forcibly torn off, leaving jagged edges. In heraldry the lion reprefents the genius of courage. The Cap of Dignity or Maintenance, called by the French chapeau, was worn formerly by all the nobility. It took its name of maintenance from a cap which Pope Julius II

I ntroduclion. 9 fent, with a fword, to King Henry VIII, for his writing a book againft Martin Luther in maintenance of the faith. Mottoes, though generally hereditary, are changed, and new ones adopted on occafion. The motto of the late Mr. Samuel H. L. N. Gilman, of Hingham, was Efperance, which is adopted by his relations there. The only other one known to the writer is, Si Deus quis contra, which is in ufe in feveral families in this country. Arms and crefrs can have little value to citizens of a repub­ lic, afide from their antiquarian interefr, and the fact: that they are aids in tracing family pedigrees. They came into ufe at fame rfmote period, and even fo long ago as the days of Mofes we read that the camp of the children of Ifrael was divinely ordered to be arranged by families, under fame armorial enfign, Every man of the children of ljrael, faid the Lord, }hall pitch by _his own jlandard, with the enfign of his father's houfe .-Num hers II, 2 •. Probably heraldic fymbols were ufed at as early a period in Wales as they were anywhere. Roderic, to whom reference has already been made, in 843, and Cadwallader, in 690, wore arms that were traced to their anceftor Arviragus, A. D. 45 ! * The next place identified with the family name is in Norfolk county, England, and is thus defcribed. Cajlon is a pleafant village three miles fouth-eaft of Watton, and has in its parifu 5 I 3 fouls, and I ,509 acres of land, moftly the property of Sir Edward Bowyer Smijth, Bart., of Effex, and the Rev. B. Barker. The former is lord of the manor of Caftan Hall. The church - Holy Crofs - is a large fabric, with a tower and fix bells. The Wefleyans have a fmall chapel..., On the green is the fuaft of an ancient crofs, curioufiy carved. Gil mans refided in this place in the fixteenth century, but now all traces .of them appear to be gone.

Hingham, in the fame county, is a fmall but neat market town, and gives name to a Deanery. It confifts of a large fquare of good houfes and ihops, with feveral ftreets, and is pleafantly fituated on rifing ground, near a large lake or mere, of a mile in circumference, abounding in fiih, which gives rife to'~a rivulet flowing eafl:ward to the Y are. It is difl:ant fourteen miles wefl:-fouth-wefl: of Norwich, fix miles weft of Wymond­ ham, * and ninety-feven miles north-eafl: by north of London. Its market, formerly held every Saturday, was revived a few years ago, after being long obfolete, and is now held on Tuefday, when fome bufinefs is done in corn, cattle, etc., at the Cock and Ringer Inns. It has three large Annual Fairs for frock, held March 7th, Whit-Tuefday, and October 2d. The Parifu of Hingham has increafed its population fince 180 I, from twelve hundred to feventeen hundred fouls. It con­ tains four hundred houfes, and thirty-fix hundred acres of land, partly in the Rectory Manor, and in the Rev. W. B. Harnard's Manor of Gurney's, but moftly in Hingham Manor, of which Lord W odehoufe is Lord, and owner of moft of the foil. The common, confifl:ing of eight hundred acres, was enclofed in 1781. The Manor of Hingham was held, during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, by the Madhals, Earls of Pembroke, and paffed from them to the Morleys, and from the latter to the W odehoufes. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, is a large and handfome fabric, with a lofty tower, containing eight mufical bells. It was rebuilt in 1316 by its recl:or, Remigius de Hetherfete, and its patron, John le Madhal. Several chapels and numerous images decorated its interior prior to the Reformation. Trinity

Chapel, at the north-ea fr corner, had a fine ftained glafs window with an infcription which Blomefield read as follows: "Thys window is ye mayden coil: of Hengham," * from which it is fuppofed to have been glazed at the coil: of the ladies of the town. On the north fide of the chancel is a noble canopied monu­ ment, reaching from the floor to the roof, richly decorated with ftone imagery and fracery; and though the brafs infcriptions are gone, it appears from the arms remaining to have been raifed to the memory of Thomas Lord Morley, Baron of Rye, and Madhal of Ireland, who died in 1435. The large eafi: window is beautifully adorned with ftained glafs purchafed on the continent by John the fidl: Baron W ode­ houfe, in I 8 I 3. The fubjecl:s, reprefented as large as life, are the Crucifixion, the Defcent from the Crofs, the Refurrection, the Afcenfion, Adam and Eve, Mofes, Aaron, St. Andrew, etc., all much admired for the beauty and brilliancy of the colors. Be~eath the windows are printed in large gilded letters the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Creed. This interefi:ing church is built of fmall pieces of dark flint ftone. The tower is reached by a feries of ftone fi:eps which are deeply worn by the foot of the fexton, as day by day for five hundred years, he has mounted them to ring the curfew bell, and the bell for daily fervice. In places thefe foot-marks are feveral inches in depth, rendering the afcent very unpleafant. The view from the fummit is fine. In the floor of the church are monumental fi:ones to the memory of many members of the Gilman family, each of which bears the family arms and crefi:. Some of the infcriptions are given in the body of this work.

The recl:ory confi:ft:s of a good parfonage houfe, of which a view is given, about thirty-three acres of good glebe land, and a yearly rent-charge of £ I 260 in lieu of tithes, awarded in I 842. It is in the gift of Lord W odehoufe, and incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. W. W odehoufe, who now lives in London at an ad­ vanced age. A curate performs the parifu duties. The Rev. Robert Peck was in:ft:ituted to the Recl:ory of Hingham, Norfolk, 7th January, 1605, and the Rev. John Watfon, who was Recl:or of the fame parifu from I 1th Ap!il, I 68 3 to I 72 7, gave the following account of him in a letter · dated 3d Jan., I 715: " He was a man of a very violent, fchifmatical fpirit ; he pulled down the rails, and levelled the altar and the whole chancel a foot below the church, as it remains to this day ; but being profecuted for it by Bifuop Wren, he Red the kingdom and went over to New England with many of his parifuioners, who fold their eftates for half their value, and conveyed all their effecl:s to that new plantation, erecl:ed a town and colony by the name of Hingham, where many o·f their.· pofterity are frill remaining. He promifed never to defert them ; but hearing that the Bifuops were depofed, he left them all to fuift for them­ fel ves, and came back to Hingham in the year I 646, and after ten years voluntary banifument, he refurned his Recl:ory, and died in the year 1656." * Among thefe emigrants to America were members of the families of Gilman, Lincoln, Barnes, F olfom, and others. Sir Ralph de Ingham, Knt., was a native of this parifh, and a J ufiice of the King's Bench in the reigns of Henry III and Edward I, but being found guilty of bribery and corruption, he was fined feven thoufand marks, which not being immediately

The fine was ultimately paid, and he was made Chief J uftice of the Common Pleas in the firft year of Edward II, but died the fame year. The Independents and the Society of Friends have each a chapel at Hingham. Petty Seffions are held by the magiftrates at the White Hart Inn, on the firfl: Tuefday of every month. There is a good Bowling-Green at that Inn. There are feveral Benefit and Friendly Societies, and an Odd Fellows Lodge, which holds its meetings every other Tuefday at the White Hart. There are endowed and national fchools, and various charitable endow­ ments. The Gilmans of Hingham are noticed individually in the body of this work, but the following fketch of the family there, prepared by Mr. James Feltham, of that place, prefents a gene­ ral view of the fu bjecl:. The family of the Gilmans have refided in this parifu for . more than two centuries, and have during all that period been perfons of diftincl:ion and high refpecl:ability. There are monu­ mental fi:ones and infcriptions to their memories in the chancel of the church. A branch of this family, viz: one Edward Gil­ man, with his wife, three fons and two daughters, emigrated to America, and arrived at Bofton, Maffachufetts, IO Auguft, 1638, with the Rev. Jofeph Peck, Recl:or of O Id Hingham, England, and feveral of his pari:fhioners. A branch of this family con­ tinued in England, and from which defcended Samuel Gilman, who married Lydia Cafe in I 770. There were iffue of this marriage, befides feveral children who died in their infancy, four fons and three daughters, of whom I will now give a fuort account : I. Samuel Hey hoe Le Neve Gilman, their eldeft fan, was a gentleman of confiderabl~ talent and ability in his pro- Deftendants if 'John Gilman. feffion as an attorney at law and folicitor, and of whom a fepa­ rate biographical !ketch is given. He intermarried in I 818 with Mifs Ann Cafe, the daughter of Philip James Cafe, Efq., of Bury St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, an Alderman of that cor­ porate town. There was no iffue of this marriage. He died 4 April, 1860, in the 87th year of his age, and was buried here, leaving his widow, who is now living in this parifu. 2. The fecond fon, Edward Cafe Gilman, intermarried with Elizabeth Margaret Buck. There was iffue of this marriage feveral children, all of whom, except one, Edward, have fince died without iffue. This Edward was brought up to the profeffion of an attorney and folicitor, but he emigrated to America and married there, in Canada Weft, 21 December, 1837, Mifs Mary Thompfon. They are frill living there and have fix children, viz: four fons and two daughters.* 3. The third fon, Charles Cafe Gilman, t who is now living in the city of Norwich a widower, having no child. 4.

Edward, emigrated to America, Canada, about two hundred years after the emigration to America, U. S., of the former Edward Gilman. The name, however, will not be wholly extinct here, as Reuben Gilman, the brother of laft named Samuel, left defcendants who are now living in our Norwich, of whom Mr. Charles Suckling Gilman, folicitor, Norwich, is one. Norwich is the capital of Norfolk county, England. It was a flourifhing city dght centuries ago, and poffeffes a celebrated Cathedral, founded in 1094. Its population is about feventy thoufand. It is the mofr ancient manufacturing town in the kingdom, and is often mentioned in hifrory. It is the refidence of Mr. Charles Suckling Gilman, who was the originator of the Hail Storm Infurance bufinefs. THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE is the one to which mofr of the Gilmans in America look as the home of their. fathers. It is bounded on the north by Canada ; on the eafr by the State of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean ; on the fouth by the State of Maffach ufetts ; and on the wefr by the State of Vermont, from which it is feparated by the Connecticut river. The firft ex­ ploration of the State was made in 1603, by Captain Martin Pring, who was fent out by fame merchants of Briftol, England, with two veffels, the Speedwell and the Difcoverer, and who entered the harbor of Portfmouth, and afcended the Pifcataqua river a :lhort diftance. Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain John Mafon, who became refpecl:ively Prefident and Secretary of the Plymouth Council, were the fidl: to make efforts to people what was then a wildernefs. Captain Mafon was a Lon­ don merchant., but became a [ea-captain, and afterward the Go­ vernor of Newfoundland. In 162 I and 1622 the land between the Merrimac and the Ken­ nebec rivers, and extending to the St. Lawrence, was granted to Gorges and Mafon, and in 1623 a company was formed called Defcendants of 'John Gilman. the Company of Laconia, to fettle and improve the territory; but little was effected. From 1641 to 1679 the jurifdicl:ion of Maffachufetts extended over this tract, but in the latter year the union was diffolved, and a new order of government was infl:i­ tuted in New Hampfhire. John Cutts, of Portfmouth, was commiffioned as Prefident, and John Gilman, of Exeter, was one of his Council. Various changes, however, occurred in the mode of carrying on the government, and New Hampfuire was· at different periods united with Maffachufetts, until 1741, when the connection was fevered, and the States have been feparate ever fince. In 16 58 the country was excited by the witchcraft delufions, and feveral cafes were tried, but no one fuffered death in New Hampfhire. The early inhabitants were of a more liberal mind than the Puritans of Plymouth, fo that when the two colonies were united, the latter were obliged to make con­ ceffions which appear flight at the prefent day, but which then filled the more rigid at Plymouth with holy horror, and grievous forebodings. From I 67 5 to I 760 the land had little refl:, one war following another in rapid fucceffion. Firft King Philip's war occurred, lafring three years. King William's war lafied from 1689 to 1699. In 1703 Queen Anne's war budl: upon the fettlers, and murder and rapine were every-day events. In I 707 occurred the unfuccefsful attack on Port Royal, Nova Scotia. In I 7 I I the expedition againft Quebec was planned, but proved a fail­ ure. In I 723 Lovewell's war commenced, fo I?emorable for the remarkable fight at Fryeburg, Maine. The merit of having planned the fuccefsful expedition to Louiiliurg, is claimed for a New Hampfhire man, and it is certain that a large {hare of the land force on that occafion was from this State. In I 7 55 the State fent five hundred men for fervice againfi Crown Point, and foon after Col. Peter Gilman was fent there with another regi- Introduction. ment of three hundred men. In 1756 and 1757 frill more men were fent in the fame direction, eighty of whom were murdered by the Indians at the capitulation of Fort William Henry. Eight hundred New Hampiliire men ferved under Abercrombie when he attempted to reduce Ticonderoga, and one thoufand were with General Amherft when that place and Crown Point were actually reduced. Eight hundred men were with Colonel John Goffe when the contefl: with France was ended by the conqueft of Canada in 1760. The Conftitution of New Hampfuire was the firfr adopted by any of the United States. The courts of juftice had been clofed, and committees, fupported by the law-abiding citizens, had preferved order and exercifed functions of government, when, in May, 1775, a General Conventi()n affernbled at Exeter. This body eftablHhed a Committee of Safety, which was invefi:ed with authority fimilar to that of the ancient dictators. It was charged with the fupervifion of all matters affecl:ing the welfare of the province, and the fecurity of the people's rights ; and was to be careful that the public fuould fuftain no injury. This Committee was, in fact:, invefted with fupreme executive authority; and, during the recefs of the Convention, its orders had the force of the ordinary formal acts of legifiation. The Convention refolved that reprefentatives :lhould be chofen by the towns, to meet for the purpofe of aifuming government. This body convened in December, and immediately proceeded to prepare a Confritution, which was adopted January 5, 1776.* In the American Revolution the men of New Hampiliire took an important part. They were actively engaged in every battle-field from Bunker Hill to the furrender of Cornwallis in

1781. The quota of men required of the province was ten thoufand, but over eighteen thoufand men were acl:ually furniilied. John Taylor Gilman, afterward Governor of the State, was among the firfr to rufu to arms in the caufe of his country, being one of the company from Exeter that encamped on - Cambridge common the fecond day after the battle of Lexing- ton. Among others who were prominent in the ftruggle, was Hon. Jofeph Gilman, who was chairman of the Committee of Safety organized in 1775, and who was in confl:ant correfpond­ ence with the foldiers in the field. At this period Exeter was the capital town. There the Federal Conftitution was difcuffed at a Convention held the fecond Wednefday of February, 1788, and again in the following June, when it was ratified by a fmall majority. Hon. Nicholas Gilman (194) was a member of the convention that framed that inftrument in Philadelphia the pre­ vious autumn, and his name is figned to it. His views con­ cerning it are found in a letter to Jofeph Gilman, written the day after the Conftitution was figned, which is copied under number I 94. The proceedings of the conventions at Exeter were watched with great intereft at home, as well as by the citi­ zens of the other States, becaufe the Confritution, by its terms, was not to be confidered eftabli:lhed until nine of the States had ratified it. When the convention met in February, only fix of the thirteen States had voted in favor of ratification, of which Maffachufetts was the fixth. In April Maryland followed, and in May South Carolina had done the fame, making eight States. If, therefore, New Hampiliire had failed to ratify the Conftitu­ tion in June, the date of its efl:ablifument would ]:ia ve been poftponed, and that, perhaps, forever. How much influence Nicholas Gilman had in fa ving the nation from being " torn to pieces by inteftine commotions, and rendered contemptible for ages," as he e:xpreffes it, we c:an only furmife -that he had I ntroduElion. much we cannot doubt, when we confider his connections and character. In the war of I 8 I 2 New Hampiliire exhibited her ufual zeal and patriotifin, and in the war of the Rebellion her foldiers won honor and diftincl:ion in all parts of the affiiB:ed land. The fons of New Hampiliire have done honor" to the State of their birth wherever they have gone. They have occupied pofts of the highefl: refponfibility within her bounds, and they have filled, with credit to her, feats in our national councils; and the higheft offices in the people's gift have been conferred upon them. In natural fcenery the crowds that annually vifit the State atteft that New Hampihire is exalted high among her fifter States by the beauty of her romantic and paftoral glens, by the furpaffing lovelinefs of her lakes and ftreams, and by the fub­ lime and lofty fummits of her majeftic mountains.* Hingham, in New England, is the fi.rft place in which the Gilmans are found in America. Its hiftory has been written by Solomon Lincoln, as previoufiy indicated. It appears to have been fettled as a Chriftian plantation, by the Rev. Peter Hobart, who was born at or near Hingham, in England, and who came to America on account of perfecution in I 6 35. The following is given as the firft entry made in his journal: " June 8, 16 35. - I, with my wife and four children, came fafely to New England, June 8, 1635-forever praifed be the God of Heaven, my God and my King." Mr. Hobart was educated at the U niverfity of Cambridge, England, and preached the gofpel in various places in that

He continued the faithful minifrer of the church at Hingham for forty-three years. This town is fituated on the fouth fide of Bofl:on harbor, and fourteen miles difl:ant from the city. Exeter is the £hire town of Rockingham county, New Hamp­ fuire. It was fettled by the Rev. John Wheelwright, who had been banifued from Maffachufetts for his religious views, July 4, 1738. His little band,* in order that "they might live to­ gether quietly and peaceably in all godlinefs and honefl:y," com­ bined to form an almofl: purely democratic body politic, under the government of which they lived about three years. From 1690 to 1712 Exeter was very ferioufiy troubled by the Indians, and many of the heft inhabitants became a prey to their favage warfare. The Gilmans, having come to the place about 164 7, were among the fufferers, as will be found in the appropriate place. During the Revolutionary war, Exeter accepted the burdens it caufed without a murmur, and with great zeal and patriotifm raifed fupplies, money, and men for the purpofe of maintaining the independence of the country. In the records of all of thefe matters the name of Gilman will be found often recurring. The early conventions, and the Provincial Congrefs repeatedly met there, before the adoption of the State Confl:itution. The fecond church in New Hamp:!hire was formed in Exeter. Rev. John Wheelwright was the firfl: pafl:or. Rev. Samuel Dudley, a fon of Governor Dudley, was minifrer from 16 50 to 1682. He was endorfed by Cotton Mather as of '' orthodox piety." Rev. John Clark fucceeded him, and he was followed by Rev. John Odlin, who was minifl:er from 1706 to 1754.

Newmarket was formerly a part of Exeter. Its population is about two thoufand. Brentwood adjoins Exeter on the weft, and has about one thoufand inhabitants. Gilmanton deferves notice from its name. It lies in the ro­ mantic region about lake Winnepefaukee. Its charter, executed May 20, 1727, by his Majefty's Colonial Governor, John Wentworth, was granted as compenfation for fervices rendered in defenfe of the country. It was originally called Gilman- Defcendants of John Gilman. town. One of the conditions of the charter was that a meeting­ houfe fhould be built for the public worfhip of God, within the term of four years, and another that a proprietor's £hare fhould be referved for the benefit of a fchool in the town. Twenty-four of the grantees were named Gilman, and the writer has attempted to identify them, but the frequent repetition of the fame Chriftian name in different families, renders it diffi­ cult to decide in fome cafes.

The Seleclmen mentioned in the charter were, Major John Gilman, Capt. John Gilman, and Bartholomy Thing.* . The firft fettlement was not made until 1761, the delay having been caufed by troubles with the Indians. The firft Gilman who fettled in the town was Samuel, of Brentwood, who arrived in 1762, and his was the fifth family. In I 76 5 Nicholas Gilman arrived from the fame town. In 1766 Winthrop Gilman alfo came from Brentwood. In 1767 John Gilman came from Exeter. There were then forty-five families in town. There were 250 fouls : I 39 males, and I I I females. None were over fixty years of age. During the time fince the charter was given, Dr. Jofiah Gilman had been clerk of the proprietors for twenty-fix years, and Major John Gilman had held the office of treafurer, while the family name occurred at leaft once in the lift of Selectmen, almoft every year. The inhabitants had now become fufficiently numerous to hold Town Meetings, and the firft was held July 31, 1766. Somerfby Gilman was chofen moderator.

Gilmanton has had excellent advantages for education. Steps were taken at an early period in this direction, and befides many fchools, it has had an academy and theological feminary of great ufefulnefs. The Hon. John Phillips, who gave $15,000, and two-thirds of his eftate befides, to the Exeter Academy, was a benefacl:or of Gilmanton. There have alfo been churches and clergymen of various de­ nominations in the town fince I 763, when £500 were voted by the proprietors for the pay of a minifrer of the gofpel, and a committee, including Samuel Gilman, Jr., and John Gilman, was appointed to carry out the vote. Gilmanton is fituated fixteen miles from Concord, forty-five from Portfmouth, and eighty from Bofron. Introducfion.

The dwelling-houfa, a view of which is prefented beneath the portrait of Benjamin Ives Gilman ( 226) was built at Exeter in 17 24, by Nathaniel Gilman ( 60). He was born in I j04, and married Sarah Emery, for whom he had built the houfe, in 1725. Their firft child was Tabitha (109), born in 1726. After her father's death, £he married at the age of feventeen, his coufin Samuel ( 76 ), who was twenty, and the young couple inherited the houfe. Tabitha Gilman had married Hon. John Phillips, fubfequently the founder of Phillips Academy. She left a daughter Sarah (153), who married her· mother's coufin J ofiah (II 9 ), fon of the Rev. Nicholas Gilman. Mary Gil­ man (229), daughter of Jofiah and Sarah, married her mother's coufin, Benjamin Clark Gilman (152). After the death of Samuel Gilman, (76) the houfe was fold to J ofeph Gilman ( I 18), uncle of Mary Thing, and he refided in it for many years, until he went to Ohio in I 788. The old houfe was removed fome years ago to make room for a public building. It had been kept in good repair up to within a few years previoufly, but it was never altered, nor in any way modernized. The four front rooms had feats in all the windows, and folding fuutters. The heft chamber was Introducfion. finifhed entirely with wainfcot work-ceiling and all-and there never was any plafi:ering in the room. The panels were pa_inted and !haded in colors different fron1 the frames. Over the fireplace was a large panel with a picture painted upon it. This chamber and the front entry did not appear to have been changed by paint or paper fince the houfe was firfi finiihed. The engraving was made from a daguerreotype taken in April, 18 58, at the infiance of the late Mrs. Clariffa Gilman Odiorne (3 1 7). Beverly is a town of about fix thoufand inhabitants, fituated in Effex county, Maffachufetts, on the bay, about feventeen miles from Bofion, and adjoining Salem. It .was fidl: fettled in 1630. Among the names of importance in the early hifrory of this place, thofe of Hale and Ives frequently occur. Thefe families are intimate! y connected with the family of Gilman.

FIRST GENERATION.

DWARD GILMAN, of Cafton, Norfolk, England, was married at that place, June 22, I 550, to RosE. RYSSE. She furvived her hu.fband, and his will, which was dated Febru­ ary 5, 1573, was ptoved by her July 7th of the fame year. By his will he devifed his Manfion Houfe in Cafton to his eldeft fon, John, and his other eftates were divided among his three other fons and five daughters. Mrs. Gilman married at Cafton, April 3, 1578, John Snell, and was buried at Cafton, October 3, 1613. It would be pleafant to picture to ourfelves the condition of things when Edward and Rofe Gilman fat with their family around the hearth of their home in this little village. Probably there were no more inhabitants there then than are counted now. The beJls of the Holy Crofs rang out their calls to matin and vefpcr prayers, and the curfew warned the hundred houfe­ holders to cover their fires at night. The church walls echoed the tones of the humble curate, and the refponfes of his handful of hearers then, juft as they do to-day. But the times were different. King Henry VIII, of uxorious memory, held his celebrated interview with Francis I, on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, juft as Edward and Rofe were born. Be­ fore they married, bluff King Hal died, and pious Edward, his tender 32 Gilman Genealogy. fan, became Defender of the Faith. He died, and Lady Jane Grey, and Mary, the wife of Philip of Spain, held the fceptre in fucceffion, and died to make room for that bright occidental ftar, Queen Elizabeth, at fame date during whofe long reign we are left to conclude that Edward and Rofe fiept with their fathers. Did thefe earlieil: of the Gilmans know more than we do of the exe­ cution of fteadfaft Sir Thomas More, and of beautiful Anne Bullen? Did they rejoice, or were they fad, when Henry laid violent hands on the abbeys and monafteries? Did they ever fee or hear read the coftly Bible that Cranmer had lately printed? Had Rofe Ryff"e read of Chaucer's Goode Wymmen, or of Thomas Malory's Morte d' .drthure? Had fhe read what the head mafter of Eton had written about the "ientlewoemen '' who "inftede of moil: vain communication aboute the moon fhyning on the water, ufe grave and fubftancial talke in Greke or Latine, with their houfebandes, of godly matiers?" Or had {he been, perchance, one of thofe '' young virgins fo nouz1ed and trained in the ftudie of lettres, that fhee willyngly fet all other vain paftymes at naught for learnynges fake?'' Did Edward read what Sir Thomas Elyot and and Roger Afcham wrote, about the year of his marriage, on the fubjeB: of " fhootyng in the longe bowe," or thofe fermons of Bifhop Latimer, in which he fpoke of '' the devil the moft diligenteft preecher of al other," and of "Tenterton Steeple, the caufe of Goodwin Sandes "­ did Edward hear of or read them? Did the poft-rider bring to Nor­ wich any news of the events that were then ftirring church and ftate? There was a rebellion in Norfolk in I 549, and it began very near Cafton. Over in Wymondham dwelt John Flowerdew, gentleman, and Robert Ket, tanner, who each inftigated a mob to deftroy the inclofures of the other. Ket was "a man hardy and forward to any defperate attempt," and put himfelf at the head of a large number of people, urged them to follow him in defenfe of their liberty, and they encamped on elevated ground near Norwich, called Moufehold-heath. They fent for a vicar from the city parifh to fay prayers in their camp, and, looking down on one of the wealthieft cities of England, they rejoiced as if it were fome great feftival they celebrated. The Earl of Warwick was fent to quiet Firfl Generation. 33 the rebels, and though the tafk. was not eafy, it was accomplifhed, the encampment was broken up, and

"The country chuffs, Hob, Dick, and Hick, With clubs and clouted fhoon," fled to Duffin-dale, where they were overcome. Ket was convicted of treafon and hanged at Norwich, though many others were pardoned, for Hob and Dick had won a pofition of confideration in the common­ wealth. When urged to revenge, the Earl of Warwick replied: " Is there no plea for pardon? What £hall we do ? Shall we hold the plough ourfelves; play the carters, and labor the ground with our own hands ? " What did Ed ward and Rofe think of thefe things ? Did they fee the '~ religioufiy rebellious" crowd on Moufehold-heath? Did they fympathize with John Flowerdew, gentleman? Thefe are queftions we can afk., but not anfwer. They may fuggeft to us the condition of Nor­ folk when our anceftors lived there fo many years ago. Edward and Rofe, Henry and Elizabeth, Elyot and Afcham are gone, the po ft-boy has paffed the mails over to the railway, the grim church and the vaulted cathedral {l:and over the duft of the great ones and the fmall of the earth, but the word of God, written in the Bibles of Cran, mer and King James, endures and will endure until

This gent:ration covers the Golden Age of England, when good Queen Elizabeth ruled, and inch1des alfo a part of the reign of Charles I. THIRD GENERATION.

_ 5. ~~ OBERT (11), of Hingham, married,. firfl, Hingham, May 14, 1611, Rofe Hawes; facond, Mary--, who / furvived him, and proved his will January 21, 1658. He was admitted Hingham Gurneys in 1650, and bought Hingham in 1658. His will is dated September 27, 1658. 6. Edward (13) married, Hingham, June 3, 1614, Mary Clark. We know but iittle of the hiftory of Edward Gilman, the emigrant anceftor of moft who bear the name in the United States. He was born at Hingham, Norfolk, England. The exact date of his birth has been loft, but in all probability it was about 1587 or l 588, years memorable for the death of the beautiful Mary, Queen of Scots, and the deliverance of his country from the Spanifu Armada. At all events it occurred during the fplendid reign of Queen Elizabeth, when Spenfer, Raleigh, Bacon and Shakefpeare were producing thofe works which ftill Chine as lights in the literary firmament. He drew his firft breath when perfecution for confcience' fake was raging in confequence of the Acts of Supremacy and Conformity. He was a youth at the time of the Gunpowder Plot, and Guy Fawkes' Trial, and faw the beginning and end of the reign of James I. The Star Chamber was rendering itfelf odious in his time, when, under the reign of the defpotic Charles I, it lent itfelf to the carrying out of his oppreffive plans. John Robinfon, of Puritan memory, held a benefice not many miles from Hingham, before he moved north to care for his diffenting congregation, and it is not im­ probable that Edward Gilman heard of his troubles with the Eftablifhed Church, of his fcruples regarding fome of the ceremonies, and of his refufal to fubmit to regulations at which his confcience revolted. He may have, at fome time, made one in the congregation which he gathered Gilman Genealogy.

'' in a very quiet way" at Norwich, at the hazard of being fined and imprifoned. The circumftances of the cafe warrant us in believing that Mr. Gilman was not only acquainted with the movements of the Puritans, but was to a good degree in fympathy with them. From 1605 the Rev. Robert Peck, M. A., was recl:or of the Parilh of Hingham. He was a man who oppofed the practices of the Eftablilhed Church, for which he was profecuted by Bifuop Wren, and this led him to look for an afylum in the New World, where the followers of John Robinfon had eftablifhed a colony in I 620. A party of 13 3 men, women and children joined him, and under his lead they embarked in the fhip Diligent, of Ipfwich, Captain John Martin, which left Gravefend April 26, and arrived at Bofton, Maffachufetts, Auguft 10, 1638. Among thofe who compofed this pilgrim band were "Mr. Jofeph Peck and his wife, with three fons and daughter, and two men fervants and three maid fervants ; Edward Gilman, with his wife, three fons and two daughters, and three fervants ; '' and "John Foulfham, and his wife and two fervants." Mr. Peck and his companions fettled in the town of Hingham, on Maffachufetts Bay, fourteen miles fouth-eaft of Bofton, at which place emigrants from Hingham, England, had fettled as many as five years earlier. Decemb~r 13th, 1638, Edward Gilman was admitted freeman at Hingham.* How long he remained at that place we do not know. In

* To become a freeman at this time it was required that the individual be a re­ fpecl:able member of fome congregational church, and fubfcribe to the appended oath before the General Court, or the Quarterly Court of the county.

Children of EnwARD GILMAN ( 6) and Wife.

13. Mary, baptized, Hingham, Auguft 6., 1615 ; married John Foul• £ham, one of the pafiengers on the £hip Diligent. 14. Edward (600), baptized, Hingham, December 26, 1617. He married., after he came to America, a daughter of Richard Smith of Ipfwich, formerly of $hropham, Norfolk, England. In 1647 he re­ moved to Exeter, New Hampfuire, probably from Ipfwich, and finding fuitable fites for faw-mills, and plenty of timber, he entered into an an agreement with the town, on the 4th of November, whereby he was accepted as a townfman, and given privileges to enable him to erect mills. In accordance with this agreement he ereB:ed mills upon a fpot which has ever fince been improved as a mill privilege. His father-in-law, it appears, had prefented him with a place at Ipfwich, which he fold to his father in I 648. He is defcribed as active, enterprifing and judicious, and immediately became a popular and leading man at Exeter. In 1648 he was on the committee to treat with a Mr. Thomfon "to come to Fourth Generation. 39 Exeter to be our minifter ," and if he would not come, to engage fome other, with the advice of the elders of Bofton, Charlestown, and Rox­ bury. In 1650 he was one of the committee who figned the agreement with Mr. Samuel Dudley "to inhabit Exeter and be a minifter of God's word unto us until fuch time as God fhall be. pleafed to make way for the gathering of a church, and then he £hall be ordained the paftor or teacher, according to the ordinance of God.'' In 1641 he was one of a committee "to make an agreement with Hampton and Dover about the bounds, or to petition the General Court if they can't agree." Grants of land were repeatedly made to him by the Town, the laft of which was on the 10th of May, 1652, and upon the fame day his father and brother Mofes were, "upon their requeft," accepted to be townsmen. His brother John was connected with him in bufinefs at one time. In 1653 Edward went to England for mill gearing, and never returned., having been loft at fea. His widow adminiftered on his eftate in 165 5. 15. Sarah, baptized at Hingham, England,December 26, 1617~1 16. Lydia, date of birth and baptifm unknown. Married at Hing­ ham, England, by Rev. Mr. Peck, January 19, I 645, to Daniel, eldeft fon of Matthew Cufhing, Sr. Daniel Cufhing was born in England in l 6 I 9, about the probable date of his wife's birth. He was admitted freeman in 167 1, was an acl:iv~ magiftrate, and for many years the town-clerk of Hingham. He was a reprefentative to the General Court in the years 1680, 1682, and 1695. According to the diary of Rev. Peter Hobart, the firft minifter of Hing­ ham, he died December 3, 1700. He had fix children by his firft wife, Lydia Gilman. Lydia died, and March 9, 1691, Daniel married widow Elizabeth Thaxter. How his .firft courdhip was conducled we are not told, but the following entries, which I copy. from Whitney's ~dition of his Record, fhow that the fecond required an amount of previous nego- tiation: 1689.

" E. 'r." did not " deny the bargaine againe," fo far as the record goes, and the wedding followed in the enfuing fpring. Daniel Cufhing's record is a valuable one, fettling many early dates. Henry .Auftin Whitney, Efq., of Bofton, has publifued an elegant mono­ graph containing a photograph of the manufcript, which is a beautiful and valuable contribution to antiquarian letters. 17. John (27, born January 10, 1624; baptized at Hingham, Eng­ land, May 23, 1626; died July 24, 1708; married, June 20, 1657, Elizabeth, daughter of James and Catherine (Shapleigh) Treworgye. * She was born in I 639, and died September 8, I 7 I 9. Hon. John Gilman came to Hingham with his father in 1638, re­ moved to Rehoboth with him a few years later, and afterwards to Ipfwich. The date of his arrival at Exeter is not pofitively kn?wn, but it was near 1648. He was at firft conneaed with his brother Edward in the lumber and milling bufinefs, but after his brother's death the entire management of the affairs devolved upon him, and he became at once a leading man in the town. His name appears upon the records of Exeter, April 27, •·" 1650, in connection with a town ·order. In November of that year he, with a number of others, made claims to !hares in the commons. In 16 52 he was elec.1:ed one of the Selecl:men, and held the office for feveral fucceffive years. In I 67 4, and at other dates, the town made him im-

* Mr. Alexander Shapleigh was a merchant and !hip-owner, and was interefted in the early fettlements in M•aine and New Hamplhire, to which places he fent over his goods in his own fhips. He was agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges, and vifited this country probably before 1635. He had a fon, Major Nicholas Shapleigh, a chief man in Maine, and daughter Catherine, who married, fir.ft, Mr. James Treworgye, who died in Newfoundland before 1650. She married, ftcond, Mr. Edward Hilton-of Dover, in 1624, and Exeter, 1640 - the father of the fettlement of New Hamplhire. Catherine and James Treworgye had daughters, Joan, who mnried John Amerideth of Kittery, Me., Lucy, who married Mr. Thomas Wills of Kittery, and Elizabeth, who married Hon.

When New Hampfhire was feparated from Maffachufetts in 1680, he received the appointment of Councillor, an office which he held for the period of three years. He was alfo a mem­ ber of the Houfe of Reprefentatives, and in 1693 was elecl:ed Speaker. He appears to have refided in Exeter until his death in 1708, at the age of 84 years. He lived to fee his family circle very greatly increafed, four­ teen having been added, by marriage, to the original :fixteen, and the grand-children and great-grand-children having become remarkably numerous. It was to his defcendants principally that the town of Gil­ manton was granted in t 7 2 7, for fervices rendered in defenfo of their country, but while they were the proprietors, they moftly continued to refide at Exeter. 18. Mofes (800), baptized at Hingham, England, March 11, 1630. He married Elizabeth, daughter of William Herfie, Sr., but at what time does not appear. The records of the town of Exeter, New Hampfhire, fhow that on May 10, 165z, Mr. Edward Gilman and his fon Mofes, and Edward Colcord, upon their requeft to be townfmen, were accepted to become inhabitants, "and to come and live amongft us.'' On the 8th of July of the fame year there was granted ~, unto Mr. Ed­ ward Gilman, Sen., John Legat, John Gilman, and Mofes Gilman, amongft them in general, 200 acres of fwamp, towards Mr. Stanyan' s meadow lying about a brook that way, in diftance about two or three miles from the town." In October, 1664, a tract of "fifty acres on the other fide of the great cove," was granted to Mofes Gilman. March 30, 1674, grants were made to Mr. Samuel Dudley, Lieut. John Gilman, and Mofes Gilman, of 600 acres each, for farms, to be laid out when they could find it convenient, but not within two miles of the meeting­ houfe. Lieut Gilman's land was laid out on the u Great Red Oak Hill," Mr. Dudley's on Great Hill, and in what is now Brentwood, and Mofes Gilman's in what is now Newmarket, on or near Lamprey river. Mofes appears to have been much favored with grants, and received others frill, one as late as 1698. He was often elea~d to pofts of truft in Exeter, and from I 660 to 169 3 was very frequently chofen as SeleEtman. In 1694 he was fucceeded in this office by his fon Mofes, Jr. He took an F 42 Gihnan Genealogy. aaive and fomewhat leading part in town affairs, and held various other town offices. He was too fond of the law for his own or neighbors' comfort, as appears from the ancient records. He lived, according to tradition, twenty or thirty rods north-wefterly from the refidence of Captain Furnald, and was buried not far from his houfe, within the prefent limits of the road to Newmarket. His will, dated January 12, 1691, was witneffed by William Gilman, Cartee Gilman, and John Clark. He is fuppofed to have died in 1702, for the will was proved Auguft 6th of that year. His family confifted of Mofas, who died in I 747, having had two wives: firft, Anne, and fecond, Elizabeth ; Captain Jeremiah, born Auguft 31, 1660, and married Mary ·Wiggin; James, born May 31, 1665, who married and had a large family; Captain John, born June 7, 1668, married, and died about 1753, leaving a family: Da'lJid; Jojhua, who married, November 10., 1702., Mariah Herfey, and died January 26, 1718. He was a reprefentative, lived at Hampton, and had a family ; Caleb* who married Sufannah, daughter of Lieutenant Peter Folfom, and was living February 14, 1732; Elizabeth, born April 19, 1663, and married :Syley Dudley; Judith, who married Thomas Lyford, who died in 1727; and Mary, who married Cornelius Connor. Various deeds are recorded upon the Regifters at Exeter, made by mem­ bers of this family. Among them are: one from '' Elizabeth wi~ow of Mofes,'' to her fon James, dated March 2 5, 1714 ; one from her to her fon Caleb, of a faw-mill, dated June 11, 1712, in which her daughters Elizabeth Dudley, Mary Connor, and Judith Lyford are mentioned ; and another from her to her fon John, dated April 20; I 714. Mofes Gilman had a large number of defcendants, many of w horn now refide at Newmarket, and others of whom are living in various parts of the United States. Edward Gilman had four other fons who died young and unmarried.

In I 727 he delivered the Mafter's Addrefs at Com­ mencement, - fubjecl:, An dignitas Chrifti ejfentialis, fit Cultus religioji Bajis et Fundamentum. ./1.ffirmat Refpondens Nicolaus Gilman.

In cafe of a failure to agree, the matter was to be referred to "three neighboring Minifters and three next Juftices.,, When George Whitefield vifited New Hampfhire, in 1744, Mr. Gil­ man received him cordially, and became his faithful friend, as did alfo 60 Gilman Genealogy.

This is to intreat you, Dear Sir, to come to the help of the Lord againft the mighty. Study, I befeech you in all love, to appear yourfelf faithful to Chrift. If you have not received the Holy Ghoft (Pardon the fuppofition) now humble your[elf at the feet of Chrift - put in for a Share in fuch rich mercy, left you be confounded if you flip fuch an Opportunity.

In reply to the pamphlets and fermons iffued againft Mr. Whitefield, Mr. Gilman wrote an elaborate defence, which is too lengthy for quota­ tion here, but which can only leave on the mind of the reader a favora­ ble impreffion of the writer. The following letters explain themfelves:

DuRHAM, March 3d in the Evening, 1744-5. Revd and Very Dear Sir : - Through the care of our kind preferver, I reached my houfe in about two hours, as I judgd, after I parted with you the laft Evening, having a pleafant paffage, but could not entertain myfelf with any pleafant review of the Occurrences of Friday or Saturday. I awoke heavy this morn­ ing and found reafon to be afhamed of myfelf; but upon feeking to our kind Mafter, he was pleafed to fhew me what I muft do,- (not by Dreams or Vifions or Lot- hut by his Word & Spirit,) to write to you in Love. And I can truly fay, that if I appear befide myfelf in this matter, the Love of Chrift conftrains me. Bleffed be God, I have no need of, nor occafion for the exercife of any other Spirit or Temper. I have loved you tenderly now about five years, even before I faw your face, and if I fhould ever feel any other difpofition towards you, it would be a matter of great grief to me. But why do I make any apology while you are willing to know what the matter is, and I muft fpeak plain. Gilman Genealogy.

As to y8 affair that concerns me moil: efpecially. It was what occurred at General Pepperell's houfe. Recall to mind, Dear Sir. Did you not openly & explicitly thank almighty God that he had put it into his heart to go on this Expedition? Did you not blefs God in behalf of the So­ ciety that He had inclined him to leave all for Chriil:? Did you not tell Almighty God how fore we were that the General was not - that he could not be, influenced by any Secular motives? And did you pray, thus, by the Spirit of God or w·ord of God, or confiftent with known Truth. Indeed thefe are glorious Things, if true. You might well, Dear Sir., praife the Lord on this account, and do it before him too, were you fore he was free from every Spark of Pride and Self-righteoufnefs; but to me it feems Encomium enough for an Immortal. What Greater could be faid? And your bleffing God for it, muft pafs for Compliment Till you are Sufficiently Satisfy'd of the Truth. And are you fo indeed, Dear Sir? Permit me to be free ; I hope you love and choofe that I fhould be fo. And how were you Satisfy'd that he has this precious Faith & is ready to facrifice all his great Eftate & Honours, his Friends, Relatives and Life for the caufe of Chrift? Are you fufficiently fure that his call is from above, that he was moved by the Holy Ghoft to this Ex­ pedition? Were you f ure enough to tell the Lord God fo, that he could not be influenced by any fecular motives? Might not his Honour be greatly concerned when it was offered him and put upon him - firft to confider, and then to comply with the motion? Would it be no ad­ vantage to his Eftate to win the place? May he not have a profpeel: of doubling his Wealth and Honours if crowned with Succefs? What Demonil:ration has he given of being fo entirely devoted to the Lord? He has a vaft many Talents, is it an eafy thing for fo Wife a man to become a Fool for Chrift - fo great a man to become a Little Child­ fo rich a man to crowd in at the Strait Gate of Converfion, and make fo little noife ? Dear Sir, enquire folemnly into the ground of the Lord's Controverfy with you. Should he leave you to Daub with untempered mortar, where are you then? You have fought valiantly for the Lord of Hafts, and Bleffed be his Name, for all he has wrought by you! May you fhine S-ixth General-ion.

yet more and more, and as you have been kind to the poor, be not mer­ cilefs to the rich. If you fee good to encourage the Expedition, be folly fatisfy'd the project was formed in Heaven. Was the Lord firft confulted in the affair? Did they wait for his Counfell? May the Good Lord direct you and me in all his ways. I beg an intereft in your prayers. Let this be a fecret between us. That the Lord would abundantly profper your Labours for the good of Souls, is the Prayer of, Revd. Sir, your unworthy Brother & Fellow Labourer in the Gofpell of Chrift, Nicholas Gilman. To the Revd. Mr. Whitefield, at Portfmouth.

DuRHAM, March 3, 1744-5 • Honoured Sir : The Wife man obferves in the multitude of C:)Unfellors there is fafety - as many have written you letters, permitt me to add one to the number. You are engaging in an Expedition in which you would willingly act fafely. I had not opportunity when at your houfe on Saturday to fay much; what was wanting then· ] would fupply by writing. My foul is concernecl for you that you fhould act clearly and uprightly in fo im­ portant an affair - that you look well to your call if you promife your­ felf fuccefs in the name of the Lord. If the Lord Jefus Chrift fets you on Works you may ]ook to him for Wages, otherwife not. Do you in- . deed love the Lord ? You had need love him well to hazard all for him. Do you truly love his people - not in Word and Tongue only, but in deed and in Truth? Do you make the Lord your Guide and Counfellor in ye affair? Honoured Sir, thefe are queftions of weight and worth thinking of. If you have a Soul great as that Hero David of old, you will afk of the Lord, and not go till he bid you: David would not. But now you will fay, how £hall I enquire & how expect to be refolved? We are not to look for exprefs revelation immediate.

Try how good he is by trufting him - then I make no doubt you will tell how kind you find him. But God will doubtlefs humble fuch as leave him out of their Schemes, as though his Providence was not at all concerned in the n1atter-whereas his Bleffing is all in all. Nicholas Gilman.

Rev. George Whitefield, it will be remembered, gave to Colonel, afterwards Sir William Pepperell, the motto for his banners on the Expe­ dition againft Louifburg- Nil defperando, Chriflo duce. On Saturday, September 29, 1770, Mr. Whitefield dined at a Captain Gilman's in Exeter. This was probably Daniel Gilman (59). He preached after dinner to a great multitude in the fields:, from II Car.:, xiii,. 5, a text which conveyed a favorite idea of his. Juft before the fermon he was told he was more fit to go to bed than to preach, and he replied : "True, fir," - but turning afide he clafped his hands together, and, looking up, faid: '' Lord Jefus I am weary in thy work, but not of thy work. If I have not yet finifhed my courfe, let me go and fpeak for thee once more in the fields - feal thy truth and come home and die.'' He died the next day. His funeral was attended at Newburyport.

This company of minute men confifted of thirty-five, and was called into fervice July, 1777, joined General Stark's brigade, and occupied the right wing in the well-fought battle of Bennington, which turned the fortunes of the Britifh commander, and led to the fpeedy furrender of his whole army. 70. .Abigail, born Auguft 19, I 707; married William Moore of Stratham, New Hampfhire. 71.

Jofeph Sayer of Wells, Maine, who was born September 12, 1747, and died No­ vember 20, 1 790. The following fketch confifts of extracts made by his grandfon, Triftram Gilman (3 3 5) of Bofton, from the P anoplift and Mij}ionary Magazine for June, 1 809. It was probably written by Prefi­ dent Appleton of Bowdoin College:

Rev. Triftram Gilman, late paftor of the Firft Church in North Yarmouth, Maine, was one whofe memory is defervedly dear to his acquaintance. He was the fon of a pious and ufeful minifter in Durham, New Hampfhire. He was born in the year 1735, and was graduated at [Harvard] t~e ~rft univerfity in New England, in 1757._ Educated in a religious manner, he preferv~d 'the character of a fober and moral youth. Having been called by divine grace, he determined to devote his future life to the gofpel miniftry. The flower of his days was fpent in thofe ftudies which were pre­ paratory to preaching a crucified Saviour to finful men. Early in 1769 he came to the people of his future charge [North Yarmouth], and was ordained in December [8th, 1769] following. A clofe application to ftudy, and habitual diligence in the duties of his calling were prominent traits in his characl:er. He was a fcribe well inftrucl:ed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and was a workman who needed not to be afhamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. In the a:ffociation of which he was a member, he was much efteemed, and was for many years the moderator. When Bowdoin College was incorporated he was named in the act as one of the Truftees, and prefided at that board till his age and infirmi­ ties induced him to refign. As another proof of his worth he was elected the firft Seventh Generation. 77

Prefident of the Maine Miffionary Society, which office he held at his death. In his religious fentiments he was ftricUy Calviniftic and Evangelical. In his preaching he aimed more to enlighten the underftanding and mend the heart, than to pleafe the fancy and gain the applaufe of his hearers. As a hufband, parent, neighbor, and friend, Mr. Gilman deferves the higheft com­ mendation. His manfion was the refidence of love and the moft endearing fenfibili­ ties. To his friends, and efpecially Chriftian minifters, his houfe was the abode of hofpitality. To the poor and needy his liberal hand was extended for their relief. In the affairs of the prefent life Mr. Gilman interefted himfelf but little. The riches and fplendors of the world, with him found but feeble attractions. He was bleffed with one of the heft of wives, whofe prudence, economy, and gracious endow­ ments, rendered her a helpmate for him. She was a woman of fuperior attainments, who was admirably calculated to conciliate the love and efteem of all her acquaintance. During the whole term of his miniftry, 293 perfons were admitted into full com­ munion with his church, and 1,344 were baptized. The death of this highly honored fervant of Chrift was fuch as might be expected to follow a life of fo much piety and ufefulnefs. Through the whole of his laft ficknefs he was remarkably patient, compofed and fubmiffive, and manifeA:ed that the religion which he preached was able to bear the foul above the fears of death. He entered, as we firmly believe, into the joy of his Lord, April 1, 1809, leaving feven very affectionate children, and a numerous church and parifh, who tenderly loved him, to mourn his lofs.

In exammmg the documents which once belonged to the Reverend Triftram, many valuable difcourfes were difcovered, and, among a variety of other papers, the four which here follow :

North Yarmouth, April 7th, 1809.

The Rev. Samuel Eaton was a diftinguifhed minifter of Harpfwe11, Maine, and Profeffor A. S. Packard, of Bowdoin College, fays that his feleclion as preacher on the above occafion, fhowed the eftimation in which he was held by the churches.* He adds, that the whole crowded audience, and the fpeaker himfelf, were bathed in tears.

1806; married, .fi,:jl, Jane Tyler, fuppofed to have died in I 760 ; Jecond, September 22, I 763, Rebecca, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Hale) Ives, of Beverly, Ma{fachufetts, born June 23, 1745, died May 20, 1823. Jofeph Gilman is fuppofed to have been educated in E·xeter, but it was before the foundation of the celebrated Phillips Academy, which has fince fent out fo many diftinguifued graduates. At the age of fifteen years he went to BoH:on to enter the employ of a merchant, probably Mr Samuel P. Savage, who is frequently mentioned in his letters written at the time. In his firft letter, dated July 17, 175 3, and addreff"ed to his " Honoured mother," he fpeaks of the dulnefs of bufinefs, but adds that "there hath near Eight Thoufand Bulhels of Corn came in from Vir­ ginia in ye fpace of Two Days Time, which the Like fcarce ever Was known." Under date Auguft 14, 1753, he fays to his" Honored mother and Grand Mother,'' l have one of the Four things which are Grievous to the Eye-fight Viz, an Empty Purfe. If any Body would remove this grievous Thing, I would Humbly thank them." September 7, '53, he writes that a man " was tried for making Dollers. His fentence is to ftand in the Pillery 1 hour., and to be whipt twenty lafhes." Many of the letters of Jofeph Gilman, written from Bofton to his mother, contain moral reflections which indicate the tone of his character at the period. He writes as follows under date of March 4, 1754 : " [ received yours which brings the Meloncholly News of the Death of one who I am infenfible of the Lofs of in a great Meafure. I remember I have read it, tho' I forgot ye author, that we are never fenfible or at Leaft fo fenfible of the need of our Friends as when we have loft them. My Grand Mother was to me nearer than Common, Mother, but I cannot fay nearer than my Mother. I remember my Grand Mother often told me I had a very Affectionate Loving Mother which I belie\'e I never was fo fenfible of as I now am. I now acquaint you that I have a very good Mafrer, Viz, one who fears the Lord. I beg you would have patients to hear me. God faith that ye Children of the Righteous upon the account of their parents have no more caufe to hope for being faved on that account than the Children of ye Wicked. But God rewards the Children Seventh Generation. of the Righteous often times on account of their Parents, tho' not with Eternal Salvation, yet with the good things of this Life." He appears to have been very careful about his perfonal appearance, and fays, " there is a great Difterence between fraying at home Driving Plough, making Fence and the like, than going into W arehoufes among the Beft Com• pany, to the Town Houfe to fpeak to a Gentleman, or going to a Lunnon Gentleman to buy a Bill of Exchange, as I am forced to do." Auguft 26, 17 54, he fays: "I have been very poorly as to health. I am folly perfuaded that there is no real happinefs to be enjoyed here, but what flows from Virtue & a good Confcience, Confcious of having done our Duty to God and Man In our feverall Relations & Stations. I am far from thinking that happinefs confifteth in Wealth, Honour or Long Life (Tho' thefe are good things) but in Living every Day, or Spending every Day as we ought. 'The more our Joy, the more we know it Vain,' fays Young in his Night Thoughts." November 4, 1754, he writes: "l have a great mind to and upon Mature Deliberation have thought it is in Some Meafure my Duty to Learn the Mathematicks. Dr. Watts in his Dedication of his book call'd The Firfl Principles of Geography and 4.flronomy, fays that without fome acquaintance with thefe Sciences it were impoffible for him to raife his Ideas of God the Creator to fo high a pitch. Now you cannot learn well Aftronomy and Geography without being acquainted with Geometry. Now if I were poffe{f'd of a fmall Quantity of that thing call'd Money, I could get all this or part of this Learning at Mafter Leaches School evenings." November 15, he fays: '' You write you are afraid I do not improve the kind Opportunity Provi­ dence has Jndulged me with of hearing Mr. Whitefield. I am fore you have not any reafon to think fo. I inform you that I rofe at 4 in the morning to hear him, and the Morning he preached his farewel Sermon I rofe at half after twelve at Midnight for fear of overfieeping myfelf, and before 4 In the morning was Att the Old South and waited for his commg. The meeting was exceeding full and were finging when I got there. I miffed no opportunity to hear him." In December he writes that a profeffor at Harvard, " Dr. Wiggle[worth hath preached 2 Sermons againil: Mr. Whitefield which are now printed.'' His letters alfo fhow Gilman Genealogy. that he was g1v1ng conftant attention to Trigonometry and Surveying under the guidance of "Mafter Leach." He alfo refers to the purchafe of various books, fpecitying the "New Univerfa/1 Magazine, which is a very good thing," cofting £9. Jofeph Gilman was ftill a clerk in Bofton in 1755, and had not for­ gotten his admiration of Mr. Whitefield, for he enclofed "2 of Mr. White.field's Letters which coft 2s 6d a piece." At the clofe of the year he appears to have had various mental confliB:s, and to have been '' very poorly as to health of body.'' His ftate of mind may be feen refleB:ed in the following extraB:s from a letter dated

"Bofton gth December 9th , 175 5. "My Hond. & Belovd Mother, Gratitude is one of the moft pleafing exercifes of ye mind ; fays ye Spellator, * and all the way I have to pay you for ye great fatigue & trouble you had with me when a Child, & ftill continue to undergo for my good; is to fhow by my AB:ions I always bear a gratefull fenfe of you in my mind. To obey your Commands as long as I live & ever to be concerned for your wellfare. If Gratitude is due from Man to Man; is it not much more fo from Man to his Maker. He who gave us being for no other End but to make us happy ; for I am far from thinking that the God of Love & Mercy ever created any only to make ym miferable, & thofe perfons that think fo muft have but a very poor Idea of God's Love & tender Mercy­ not that I think God is all Love & has no juftice. I a~ perfua:ded that I was not born m~r~ly to get a great Eftate, or for myfelf alone ; nor do I defire to lead a.. Life unfervicable to mankind - which end I defire always to keep in View - I am perfwaded that Riches muft be given an account of at the Laft Day - yet I know no Commandment forbidding us to get an Eftate in a right and regular Manner - & a rich man has more & greater advantages of doing good than a poor man.

I am not difcouraged about Ventureing to Sea becaufe the Gilmans hitherto have met with Mifsfortunes thereby, luck & chance fays Solomon happen to all men-however as I have no thoughts of going to Sea1 it is needlefs to enlarge on this head. I have Studied my Temper a great deal & find it is much eafier to draw than to drive me to anything ; & I find that I have had the greateft Senfe of God & Religion after reading that paffage of St. Paul, 'The goodnefs of God leadeth thee to repentance,' than in reading the moft Threatening place in Scripture- & if that does not awaken me to a Senfe of my Duty, I am afraid nothing will & heartily wifh that through the goodnefs of God I may be led to repentance- can any man be fo loft to all fenfo of gratitude as to offend fo good and fo bountifull a God as ours is. - I do affure you Madm that I am confounded to think that I continue to offend one who is continually bleffing me with N umberlefs and great mercys - fo much for Religion ; our only Solid & fubftantiall good.''

Under date of May 6th, 1756, he writes that there was on '' the 22d ult., a prefs in Town for Men to go to Crown Point," from which he very narrowly efcaped. During this time he appears to have been fo much engaged in bufinefs as to have been able to make but few vifits to Exeterj though his correfpondence was conftant with his mother and others there. The writer can find none of his letters written in 175 8 and 17 59. The following letter, which explains itfelf, feems to prefuppofe that Mr. Gilman was at the head of the lodge of Free Mafons which was formed in Bofton in 1753. ·

Brother Gilman To you I write as Suppofeing that Honour ( which was Juftly con­ ferred on you, when I had the'pleafure of being one of the Craft & under your Direcl:ion and Command) is Still in Continueance.

The following letter of Jofeph Gilman, written to his brother Trif­ tram, then at Exeter, poffeffes hiftorical intereft:

Bo flon 12th Ollober I 7 59. Dear Brother Doubtlefs before this reaches you, you will hear of the f urrender of Canada to the ~ritifu army. A veffel arrived here this morning in feven days from Louifburg. The Mafter informs that, the 15th September Gen1 Wolfe with five thoufand men engaged Monfr Levy with .fifteen thoufand, about 3 miles from their intrenchments. Our army received three Fires from the Enemy before they returned any. Our firft fire was general and very heavy-put the Frenc~ cavalry in great confufion - they being in front drove back on the infantry & by that means broke their Lines & put them all to flight. Our peop]e purfued them fo clofely that when they jumped into their Trenches, our men leaped on .their backs & by Sword & Bayonet foon cleared the Trenches, and drove the Seventh Generation. enemy into the city. The brave Genl Wolfe is killed. He received two wounds before he received his mortal one which was through the Heart. He lived to fee the Trenches cleared, holding his Bowells in with his hand & fpiriting up his men. All the officers give him the greateft character. He was but twenty-eight years old as I hear.* I have not yet heard the particulars. An Exprefs failed from Louif­ burg for this place thirty hours before this veffel failed, but is not yet arrived. Coll. Monckton has loft his nofe and is wounded in the Bow­ ells. He was the fecond in command. Townfend, on account of his being difabled, has taken command. Vaudreuil furrendered the city and Canada on the terms propofed by Townfend, what thofe terms are, I cannot tell. 'Tis faid we loft five hundred men, and the French fifteen hundred. Tuefday next in the forenoon Religious exercifes are to be performed in the feverall churches in Town, - in the afternoon the militia raifed- in the Evening the Town Illuminated. Your Loving Brother J. Gilman.

The :ftudent of hiftory will notice with intereft the general accuracy of the above news, as well as the erroneous ftatement of fome of the de­ tails. · From a letter to his mother, dated the fecond of June, I 760, it is known that he was ftill in hufinefs in Bofton. On the nineteenth of October, 176 I, he entered into a partnedhip for feven years with Na­ thaniel Folfom and Jofiah Gilman (II 9), the object of which appears to have been to keep a ftore in Exeter, to build fhips and make ventures to fea. The writer has in his poffeffion theYe articles of partnerfhip, and the Advertifement of "Folfom, Gilman and Gilman." The lift of articles for fale by the firm is wonderfully varied, beginning with "Crimfon, fcarlet, black, blue and cloth color' d Broad Cloths," and including "Baize, Plufhes, Swanfk.ins, Velvets, Ratteens, Allapeens,

* This is a miftake, Gen. Wolfe was nearly thirty-four years of age when he fell.-A. G. 88 Gilman Genealogy.

Tandems, Bibles, Felt, Caftor, Beaveret and Beaver Hatts, Chizzelles, Tea Kittells, Hour Glafi"es, Weft India Rum, Molafi"es, Bohea Tea, Lamp Oyl &c &c &c.'' The correfpondence of the firm was extenfive. It had dealings with " The Infurance Office, Bofton," with St. Martin's, Antigua, Anguilla, St. Thomas, the Barbadoes, St. Kitts, Briftol and London, and the adventures were of very refpectable amounts, the fums reaching frequently as high as thoufands of pounds fterling. While J ofeph Gilman was in Bofton it is fuppofed that he married his firft wife, Jane Tyler, who was probably of the fame family with James and Royall Tyler, with whom his letters fhow that he had bufinefs. The date of this marriage, and of Mrs. Gilman's death, are loft. Under date of February 7, I 760, Jofeph Gilman wrote as follows from Bofton, to his brother Triftram: " My Jenny is now launching into the eternal world. She looks on Death as a friend rather than a foe, as it carries her to her God and Saviour, who is dearer to her than any of her dear­ eft relatives in this world. She teUs me fhe can part with me with pleafure, though fhe dearly loves me, to go to Chrift, who is far better. I am now, my dear brother, in the fchool of affiiction. I beg your prayers that God would inftruct me in it, and carry me through it. 'Tis hard, my Brother, 'tis very hard to bear, but I beg and defire\ that I may be able to refign her to God, who gave her to me." The bufinefs of the firm of Folfom, Gilman & Gilman was tranfackd to fome extent with members of the families of Hale and Ives of Beverly, Mafs. Letters from Robert Hale Ives, written at the Barbadoes and other places during the year I 766, are in the author's pofi"effion, but being wholly upon bufinefs they throw little light upon family matters. In I 763 Mr. Gilman was married to Rebecca, a fifter of Robert Hale Ives and of Benjamin Ives, junior. In the autumn of 1776 Jofeph Gilman was appointed by the New Hampfhire Houfe of Reprefentatives to the office of Treafurer of the county of Rockingham. In 17 79 he was commiffioned by Mefhech Weare, Prefident of the Council of New Hampfhire, as Juftice of the Peace. In 178 5 he was notified by the fame perfon of his election to the office of Senator of the fame State, and in 1787 Major General John Seventh Generation.

Sullivan again notified him of his e]eB:ion to the fame honorable pofition. Jofeph Gilman was a "member of the Governor's Council in 1787, the year before he went to Ohio. He held the office of State Senator during the years 1784, 1785, 1786 and 1787. Several letters are extant written to Mr. Gilman by Col. Alexander Scammell, one of General W afhington's Aids de Camp. They are all dated 1781, the year of the writer's death, and within a few months of that event. Mr. Gilman was at that time Chairman of the New Hamp­ fhire Committee of Safety, a body which had charge oJ the fop plies for the State troops. The letters relate to the fubjeB:s of provifions, cloth­ ing, and finances, and expofe the ftraits to which the army and its com­ mander were reduced, as much by the poor quality of the goods furn­ ifhed by contracl:ors, as by the poverty of the people. Under date of June 9, Col. Scammell writes : " I am confident you have not been wanting in your exertions for us. Our foldiers -poor fellows I feel dif~ treffed for them beyond defcription - they are ragged> very ragged> but a fmall degree removed from ftarknakednefs. I would fuppofe that our brother citizens are doing everything in their power for us, while we are enjoying Continental fare in the field. Their political falvation depends on a good army well found. I fhudder at the profpect of the enfoing c:mpaign, not from fear of the enemy, but from apprehenfions of ftarv­ auon. The fupplies are fo very precarious that the Commander-in­ Chief cannot lay a fingle plan, or commence a fingle operation, for want of the neceffary fupplies. What a pity that our great and good General fhould be cramped in his operations, which, perhaps, if well feconded, might this campaign be decifive ! I wright this part only for our ftanch Whigg friends. I don't wifh the Tories might know the circumftances, leaft they fhould triumph. Make ufe of it as a Spurr to our Affembly, as many of them as you can truft." Again : " The refinement of our Commander-in-Chief's manreuvres & movements eludes the army, and I prefume of the enemy. But what fhall we do with our money? The new emiffion has £hared the fame fate as the old, and puts me in mind of the funeral proceffion at New Haven on the firfi news of the new emif­ fion being iff'ued. They buried a quantity of old bills, and fixed a new M go Gilman Genealogy. bill on the grave ftone, with this Infcription wrote upon it-Be ye a(fo ready!" Mr. Gilman's pofition upon the Committee of Safety was one of great influence and importance. It brought him into immediate intercourfe with the leading men of the adjacent States. Not long before General W aihington's victories at Princeten and Trenton, and when affairs looked dark for the Americans, Samuel Adams., afterwards Governor of Maffachufetts., was among Mr. Gilman' s vifitors. He had fuch {hong patriotifm that he urged the Continental Congrefs., only a fhort time before., to perfift in the ftruggle., even if "only one of a thoufand were to furvive and retain his liberty!" He came to confult as to ways and means to raife fupplies for the naked and ftarving foldiers. Mr. Gilman happened to be away from home, and his wife attempted to engage Mr. Adams in converfation, but his downcaft looks and abftracted manner caufed her to defift. The vifitor., too uneafy to fit quietly in his chair, walked rapidly up and down the room, and uttering a deep groan., while wringing his hands, and with tears rolling down his cheeks he exclaimed almoft in agony, 0, my God, muft we give it up! After the war Mr. Gilman became affociated with others in the Ohio Company, and in the autumn of 1 788 he removed to Marietta with his wife and one fon. The entire country was a wildernefs., feveral hundred • • miles beyond the borders of civilization, and the trials of the fettlers were great. The party enjoyed uninterrupted health on the long journey from Exeter, and arrived at the rfJughegany river on the twenty-fecond of November, where they remained during the winter. The next May Mr. Gilman wrote to Hon. Nicholas Gilman, then a United States Senator, that his expectations regarding the Ohio country., though raifed., were u fully fatis:fied.'' He adds: '' This is certainly a moft delightful country, and feems deftined in time to be a very great one." He alfo refers to the murder of one of the fettlers at that early period of the fettlement. Under date A uguft 21, 1789, he writes again, reiterating his opinion of the value of the purchafe of the Ohio Company., and men­ tioning fome of the fruits that the fettlers already enjoyed. He alfo refers to the depredations of the Indians. In I 790., Mr. Gilman was appointed by General and Governor St. Seventh Generation. 91

Clair, Judge of Probate, Judge of the Court of Quarter Seffions, Juftice of the Peace, and Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was afterwards appointed, by Prefident W afhington, United States Juµge for the Northweft Territory. The commiffion to the laft: office, engroffed on parchment, with the autograph fignatures of General W afhington and Timothy Pickering, Secretary of State, is now owned and highly prized by Jofeph Gilman's Grandfon, Winthrop Sargent Gilman, fenior, of New York city. As Judge of the United States courts Mr. Gilman vifited the remote parts of the Territory, for the court held fittings at Port Vincent, Detroit and Cincinnati, as well as at Marietta. On thefe trips, which were accomplifhed on horfeback, he was attended by other judges and lawyers, whofe company often made the journeys interefting. Mr. Gilman was a man whom everybody refpeB:ed and efteemed for his candor, honefty, good fenfe and facial qualities. As a jurift his repu­ tation ftood defervedly high. He was a careful ftudent of the laws of nature as well as of thofc of his country, and kept a meteorologic..tl journal.,. which was rare in that day. Mrs. Gilman furvived her hufband fourteen years. Her education was far fuperior to that of moil: ladies of her time, being chiefly acquired under the direB:ion of her grandfather, the Hon. Robert Hale. By him her· literary tafte was highly cultivated, and a love acquired for books and ufeful reading that attended her through life. She was familiar with the heft writers of the days of Queens Anne and Elizabeth, could read French authors with facility, and her acutenefs was fuch in polite literature, that when any difputed point arofe among the learned vifitors and circles at her firefide, fue was often appealed to as umpire, and. ~er decifions were ufually decifive of the queftion, and feldom appealed from. This was often done by men of claffical education, few of whom in mat­ ters of hiftory, pure Englifh literature, poetry, or belles-lettres, excelled her in general know ledge or critical acumen. Her early and youthful affociates were generally men of fuperior minds and talents, among whom a favorite one was Timothy Pickering, who refided in an adjacent town, and was a frequent vifitor in the family. Her acquirements made her converfation very fafcinating to the cultivated minds that came within the 92 Gilman Genealogy. phere of her influence, and her fociety was much fought and very highly prized. In perfon £he was tall and commanding, with the moft graceful and dignified manner; with an open, prepoffeffing and intelligent counte­ nance. Children were much attached to her, and ihe was fond of giving them ufeful ·inftrucl:ion and advice in fuch a pleafant manner as to win their attention and imprefs it upon their minds. In domeftic affairs £he was a pattern of induftry, frugality, order, and promptnefs of execution, practices rarely found in literary women.

Jofiah Gilman appears to have always lived at Exeter. He was one of the firm of Folfom, Gilman and Gilman after 1761. He was com­ miffioned by Governor John Wentworth, January 31, 1771, as Captain in the Militia of the Province of New Hampfhire. In 1800 he was commiffioned by Governor John Taylor Gilman (193), a Juftice of the Peace. Both of thefe commiffions were owned by the late William Charles Gilman (268) of New York. For many years Jofiah Gilman was the Town Clerk of Exeter, and it appears probable that it was in this capacity he executed the following patriotic document extraB:ed from an Exeter pa per :

It has been often remarked, that the fuccefs of our Revolutionary conteil: is to be attributed, in fome meafure, to the excellent government prevailing throughout the towns in New England - a government at times altogether voluntary, and neither impofed or fuftained by any fupe­ rior authority.

He was married at Bury St. Edmunds, Febru­ ary 3, 1818, to Ann Cafe, whom the writer had the pleafure of feeing in Hingham, England, in 1866. Mr. Gilman was a very promine~t and highly efteemed member of fociety at Hingham, where he refided the greater part of his long ,life. He was a man of elegant taftes, and great culture, and had done more than any other to trace the hiftory of his family on both fides of the Atlantic. He left at his death a valuable library, confifting of three thoufand carefully felecled volumes - a large collecl:ion of paintings, in­ cluding fpecimens of the genius of Van Dyke, Pouffin, Guido, Holbein, Carlo Dolce, and other celebrated artifts - twelve hundred ounces of family plate, befides carved work, and the other articles of tafte and luxury belonging to the home of a gentleman of wealth and refinement.

Eighth · Generation. IOI one of the manifeftations of the fame feeling, as they were felt at the county feat :

" In our laft we recorded the death on the 4th inftant, of Samuel Heyhoe Le Neve Gilman of Hingham, Efq., in the 87th year of his age. His remains were interred on Tuefday laft at Hingham. The funeral was attended by his relatives and friends., and many of the tradef­ men and inhabitants of the Parifh. During nearly all his long life he refided in his native town of Hingham, in which place his family have been fettled for many generations, and have always held an high and honorable pofition. As a private gentleman he was honoured with the friendfhip of many of the noble and worthy of our land ; in his own circle he was cherifhed as a true and valued friend ; and to all, whether in profperity or adverfity., he readily afforded all the affiftance in his power., both by his advice and his purfe. As a lawyer, his talents and high moral and intdle8:ual character procured for him the refpect of his profeffional brethren and the confidence of his clients. He alfo for many years held the appointment of diftributor of ftamps for Norwich and Norfolk. In the earlier part of his life he took a prominent and active part in the political queftions and contefts of the day. He was engaged on feveral occafions as the agent of the confervative party ; and his ftrenuous exertions and indefatigable zeal contributed greatly to the fuccefs of the confervative caufe, and ultimately to gain the elections for the late Edmund Wodehoufe, Efq., one of the late members for Nor­ folk. His name is fo identified with the profperity of Hingham, that there is fcarcely a perfon in the middle ranks of life, living in the place., who has not been benefitted by his numerous and important undertakings. He has died full of years and full of honors. He has carried with him to his grave the refpect and efteem of all who knew his private worth ; and in him many have loft an ineftimable friend, a kind mafter, and a generous benefactor. Of him it may in truth be faid., that a good man and a good Chriftian has paffed from amongft us.'' 102 Gilman Genealogy.

Mr. Gilman was a frequent correfpondent of gentlemen in America interefted in antiquarian purfuits, and was of fpecial aid to thofe invefti­ gating the hiftory of emigrants from Norfolk county, England, to this land. It was one of the greateft pleafures of the writer to vifit Mrs. Ann Gilman at Hingham, and to receive from her fome accounts of the Gil­ mans there. Mrs. Gilman had previoufly permitted copies to be taken of valuable documents of her late hufband, which had been carefully done by Mr. James Feltham., who was for years an aifociate of Mr. Gilman. To Mr. and Mrs. Gilman, therefore, the family is indebted for the pre­ fervation and tranfmiffion of facl:s which., without their kindly interven­ tion, muft inevitably have been loft., beyond the hope of their being found by this generation. Mrs. Gilman prefented the writer a very old feal which had defcended from other generations to her late hufband, upon which are engraved the arms and creft of the family as given in this work. She alfo favored him with other valuable family mementoes. 169. Maria, born December 4, 1774; died April 16, 1775. 170.

John 'Taylor (290), born December 19, 1753; died Auguft 31 1 1828 ; married, .firfl, Deborah, daughter of General Nathaniel Folfom, who was born in 17 5 3, and died February 20, 179 I ; fecond, Mrs. Mary Adams, who was born in 17 5 1 ; died October 1 5, 181 2 ; third, Charlotte Hamilton. John Taylor Gilman was brought up with no more education than the common fchools of New England afforded at the time. He followed the purfuit of !hip building, in connection with navjgation, trade, and agriculture. One of his firft fteps, as he came upon the ftage of manhood, was to march with all the alacrity of a youthful volunteer, on the exciting news of the ba_ttle of Lexington, April 20, 177 5. The news came to Exeter at day-break; the company flept that night at Andover, and encamped the next noon on Cambridge Common, near the fpot on which General Wafhington flood when he took command of the Federal forces on the fecond of July following. The Declaration of Independence was brought. by exprefs to Exeter in July, 1776. It was read by the fubjecl: of this fketch to an aifem­ blage of his fellow citizens, who liil:ened with unutterable emotion. Mr. Gilman's own mind being at one moment fo tranfported with the feelings infpired by the great event, as to render him for a little time incapable of . proceeding with the reading.*

Mr. Gilman afterwards acted as Commiffary in fupplying the three regiments furnifhed by the State of New Hampfhire, though he was principally employed in his duties as affiftant to his father, who was the Colonel of a regiment at Cambridge. In 1779 he was eleB:ed a member of the New Hampfhire Legifiature, and in I 780 was chofen from that body to ferve upon the Committee of Safety, which continued in feffion during the Revolution, and of which Hon. Jofeph Gilman ( 1 I 8) was chairman. The years I 779 and 1780 are remembered ftill by fome as the "dark days." The crops of the farmers had been unfavorable, and diftrefs and deftitution pervaded the army. No department poffeffed money or credit. Everything looked difcouraging. In this ftate of affairs a Convention of delegates from the New England States and N cw York was called to affemble at Hartford, ConneB:icut. Mr. Gilman was the fole delegate from New Hampfhire on this occafion, and his fcrvices met the approbation of the body which he reprefented. He made his journey on horfeback, and was gone fix weeks. There was not money enough in the Treafury at the time to bear the expenfes of this trip. Mr. Gilman was elected to the firft Federal Congrefs as a fucceffor to General Sullivan in 178 I, and was reelected the fucceeding year. In 1782 he was the youngeft man in Congrefs, and had the honor of [peak­ ing the voice of New Hampfhire in the memorable declaration that they would conclude no peace, but profecute the war with vigor until, by the bleffing of God, a peace could be honorably and fatisfactorily accom­ plifhed. He alfo took a ftrong ftand in favor of maintaining our bound­ aries and fifheries to their utmoft extent. Immediately after the reception of the preliminary articles of peace, he was recalled to his home by the death of his beloved and tenderly la­ mented father, which occurred April 7, 1783, and in the month of June following he was chofen his fucceffor as Treaforer of the State. In this refponfible office he was continued, by fucceffive reelections, until he was appointed one of the three Commiffioners to fettle the war accounts of the feveral States. His duties in conjunction with General Irvine and Mr. Baldwin of Georgia were very laborious. Ill health at one time 0 106 Gilnzan Genealogy.

induced him to tender his refignation, but he was perfuaded by General W afhington to continue his labors for a while longer. On his final refignation he was rechofen Treafurer, v.rhich office he held until he was called to affume that of chief magi ft rate of New Hampfhire. The new Conll:itution eftablifhed, or rather reftored, the office of Governor, and Prefident Bartlett, who held office under the former fyftem, was elected to the fame pofition the firft year. His health, how­ ever, failed, and he joined in the general defire for Mr. Gilman, who was accordingly elected by a proportion of four-fifths of the votes. He was the firft Governor of New Hampfhire to exercife the veto power. He was always a conftant and cordial fupporter of the policy of Prefi­ dent Wafhington, and of the meafores of his adminiftration. He feconded by his official influence the fyftem begun by the general govern­ ment for the defence of our expofed feaboard. He called the attention of the Legiflature to· the neceffity of properly fecuring and ftrengthening the harbor of Portfmouth, and attached great importance to the efficient difcipline and reorganization of the militia. George W afhington retired from the Prefidency of the United States, and was fucceeded by John Adams. A diverfity of opinion prevailed in New Hampfhire during the earlier years of this adminiftration. The Senate in an add refs to Governor Gilman, faid: "We have long beheld with approbation the decifion and franknefs with which your Excellency has publicly advocated thofe political fentiments, which, it is our belief, naturally refult from an informed mind, and an upright heart." Identi­ fied as he was, however, with the exifiing ftate of things, he prefented a .- perfonal obftacle to the progreffive triumph of the conflicting opinions then prevailing, and the oppofing political tide - in the language of his fon-in-law, Hon. Charles S. Davies, of Portland, Maine - "gradually rofe higher and higher, until it fubmerged even his head. He was annually reelected by a conilantly dccreafing vote, until I 805 witneffed the downfall of the Federal, and the triumph of the Republican party, and Hon. John Langdon was chofen Governor." Mr. Gilman had held the office eleven fucceffive years. Mr. Gilmar1 afterward reprefented Exeter in the Legifiature one year. Eighth · Generation.

At the clofe of Mr. Madifon's firft term his name was placed on the electoral ticket, which gave its vote for De Witt Clinton for Prefident in 18 I 2. In I 8 I 3 he was again cleB:ed to the Chief Magiftracy, with a legifiature of congenial political fentiment. So engroffing was the intereft felt at this election, that among more than 24,000 ballots caft, there was not one fcattering vote - there being but two candidates in the field. Upon affuming the reins of government he appointed Jeremiah Mafon, Attorney General, an office which he "thought Daniel W ebfter fit for,'' but for which the Council voted three out of five he was Hnot competent!" The defencelefs condition of Portfmouth, with feveral United States £hips and much property in her port, called forth the energies and refources of the Governor, but he always found means to anfwer fatisfactorily to their calls, and provide for their protection. The celebrated Hartford Convention affembled December 15th, I 814, and though Governor Gilman entertained a uniform and expreffed belief in the purity of intention of its diftinguifhed projectors, he declined to fend delegates to it, to confult his Council about it, or to convoke the Legifiature without the advice of the Council. His private opinions were oppofed to war, but when it was brought upon the nation, the fpirit of I 776 was aroufed in him, and he marked out and purfued his own courfe faithfully to the end. Upon his reelection the third year of his fecond period of office, Governor Gilman had the fatisfaB:ion of receiving from the Legifiature gratifying expreffions of favorable regard, and of approbation for the manner in which he had performed the duties of his office. This was the laft term of his official life. He had been eleven years focceffively elected Governor, and afterwards three, making a term of office longer than that of any of his predeceffors or fucceff"ors. For a long time Governor Gilman was a Truftee of Dartmouth Col­ lege, and took a great intereft in the profperity of that inftitution. He gave the beautiful fitc of ground upon which Phillips' Exeter Academy now ftands, and ever felt an affectionate concern for its welfare, and cherifhed the warmeft and livelieft intereft in the improvement and fuccefs of its pupils. 108 Gilman Genealogy.

The latter part of his life was in that retirement which his many public duties and long years of official life had not made uncongenial to him, in the rural occupations which he loved, and in the cultivation of the focial relations. Thus he enjoyed the remnant of his life, rich in the memories of the paft. He loved to dwell upon the days of Wailiington, '"'when New Hampiliire flood fhoulder to £boulder with her fifter New England States in fupport of his auguft and beneficent adminiftration." In the faith of a true Chriftian, Goyernor John Taylor Gilman was gathered to his fathers on the 31 ft day of Auguft, 18 28. From him no male defcendant now bears the honored name, but many years will roll away ere his name fhall be forgotten in Exeter, or ceafe to be pro­ nounced with rcfpeB: and honor in the State of New Ha_mpiliire. The above is derivc:d almoft verbatim from an addrefs delivered by Hon. Charles S. Davies, of Portland, Maine, before the New Hampfi1ire Hiftorical Society, on the one hundredth anniverfary of Governor Gil­ man's birth, at Exeter, New Hampfhire. 194.

He entered the army at the age of twenty-one years, as Adjutant of Colonel Alexander Scammell's regiment of the New Hampfhire line, and ferved with diftinB:ion until the fufpenfion of hoftilities. In I 778 he was promoted to a captaincy, and when Col. Scammell was made Adjutant General, Capt. Gilman was appointed affiftant in that depart­ ment. He was for fome time a member of General Wafhington's mili­ tary family, and was employed by him as Deputy Adjutant General, to take account of the prifoners captured upon the furrender of Lord Corn­ wallis at Yorktown.

Mr. Gilman was a delegate frvm his native State to the Continental Congrefs from 1786 to 1788. He reprefented New Hampfuire alto in the Convention which met at Philadelphia in 1787 to frame a Conftitu­ tion for the United States. The Committee reported the prefent Confti­ tution the feventeenth of September, and it was figned by the members of the Convention. The next day Mr. GHman wrote the following let­ ter to Hon. Jofeph Gilman (118):

After the adoption of the Conftitution, Nicholas Gilman was fent as a Reprefentative of New Hampfhire in the United States Congrefs from I 789 to 1797. He was a man of deeds rather than words, and while it appears that he attended carefully to his duties, he f poke very little, though he always depofited his vote on the queftions before the body. In 1805 he was elected a member of the United States Senate, and continued a member during the remainder of his life. He was one of the Prefidential eleB:ors in I 793, when Wa~ington and Adams were eleB:ed, and in 1797, when Adams and Jefferfon were eleB:ed. He was alfo one of the State Councillors . • In 1780 Mr. Gilman was urged by Major General Arnold to accept an appointment under him, but his taftes led him to prefer active life in the .field if he fhould enter a military career.

He was early in Life chofen to reprefent this Town in General Affembly, and had a Commiffion of the Peace; the Truth and Duty of which he difcharged with Fidelity and to Satisfaction ; untill the late difficulties arofe between America & Great Britain, at which Time that Phylanthrophy which had always appeared confpicuous in his Life, and a Confcientioufnefs of the Juftice of our great Caufe, made him take an acti\'e Part in Favour of his much injured Country. Whereby he as well as a number of worthy Characters in the Provinces fell under the difpleaf­ ure of the then Commander-in-Chief. From that Time he lived a private Life, untill he was roufed from the Enjoyment of an eafy Fortune, and the Endearments of domeftic Happinefs, by the a]arming Cries of his bleeding Country-men at Lexington. He then accepted a Lieut. Colonel's Commiffion in the Service of the United Colonies, and ap­ peared as fuch in the Battle on Bunker's Hill, and on other occafions, and in which Service he continued untill within a few months of his Death, when his declining State of Health rendered him incapable of any further Service ; but to the Laft he had the Comfort of reflecting with Satisfaction upon the Part he had acted for his diftrefi"ed Country. In his laft I1lnefs he exprefi"ed himfelf with humble Confidence in GOD into whofe Hands he refigned]y committed himfe]f, and in the Faith of our glorious Redeemer, gave up his Breath, to the great Grief of the tender and pleafant Companion of his Life ; a numerous and promifing Off­ fpring, his kind and affectionate Kindred, and forrowful Neighbourhood, to whom he had fo much endeared himfelf, as a kind loving Hufband, an indulgent and tender Parent, and affectionate Brother, and benevolent Friend."

After receiving an academic education at Phil1ips Academy, Mr. Gil­ man ftudied medicine, and at an early age began to prat1ice in the town of Wells, where he continued in the exercife of his profeffion until laid afide by his laft illnefs, a few months prior to his death. In this place he won the efteem of all claffes by kindly fympathy for diftrefs, as well as by his--many eftimable perfonal traits. He was acknowledged by his brethren of the profeffion as a fuccefsful practitioner, and for feveral years he was Prefident of the Medical Society of Maine. His efforts did not terminate with the exercife of his profeffion. He was a man of general philanthropy, and every thing around him which promifed to ad­ vance the heft good of the people, received from him a fhare of attention. The caufes of education, temperance, and of found morality, found in Dr. Gilman an unflinching advocate, and in the bufinefs of the town and county he filled a large and important place, and in thofe dep~rtments his lofs was deeply felt, and moft fincerely mourned. In the year 1791 there occurred in North Yarmouth, under the minif­ try of his father, one of the moft remarkable revivals of religion that has ever been known in the State. At that time Dr. Gilman, then twenty years of age, was ferioufly affected, and was led ultimately to make a public profeffion of his faith. From that profeffion he never fwerved, but held the truths he firft embraced with a firmer and fteadier hand to the dofe of life. In dotl:rine he was a Cal vinift. He held the office of

Elizabeth, born June I 8, 1776 ; died September 5, 1851 ; mar­ ried, in 1811., Rev. Francis Brown, D. D., Prefident of Dartmouth College. Mrs. Brown belonged to that venerable clafs of perfons who were diftinguifued in New England, or were educated in the heft habits of New England, during the laft century. Her father was the Rev. Tris­ tram Gilman, the minifter of North Yarmouth, Me., and of great note in that Province. He was a graduate of I 7 5 7, at Harvard; a man of • excellent learning ; a Calvinift according to the Weftminfter Affembly; a very earneft and inftruB:ive preacher ; a beloved and fuccefsful paftor. He was eminently devout and wife., and for nearly half a cen­ tury was one of the moft honorable reprefentatives of a profeffion which then controlled fociety, and gave a character to the moft remarkable period of American hiftory. Mrs. Brown was one of four daughters., and the third of nine children, of whom but one now remains. She became the wife of Prefident Brown in I 8 1 1, foon after he had taken charge of the church in North Yarmouth, as her father's immediate fucceffor, and four years before he was elected to the Prefidency of Dartmouth College. Mrs. Brown inherited largely the reculiar evennefs of temperament, the mildnefs, gentlenefs and amiablenefs of difpofition, connected with great ftrength and tenacity of principle, and unpretending firmnefs of purpofe, which pertained generally to the times of the fathers, and were eminently characl:eriftic of her family name. A beautiful illuftration of thefe combined qualities was given in her care of her hufband, when confumption., induced by his well-known exhaufting labors of office, obliged him to feek a winter's refidence at the South. lTnattended during their whole abfence, fue was his guide, and ftaff, and nurfe ; and be­ tween New Hampfhire and Georgia, out and home, through the difficult Eighth Generation. I I 7 and unaccuftomed route, the horfe that drew them was driven by her own hand. Mrs. Brown was a fincere Chriftian. Hers was emphatically the fpirit of heavenly love, the new life of God, which, when affociated, as it naturally is in the theology which fhe accepted, with profound religi­ ous fear, fubdues everything to itfelf, but is never fubdued, and prevails to the end, becaufe it fubordinates all other loves, and fears, and the fear of death itfelf, ~o God. It gave a diftinB:ive character not manifefted by mere tones of profeffion, but a confiftent religious life ; and made her honorable in the church of Chrift. It quickened all her natural endow­ ments; and thefe, matured as they were by Chriftian difcipline, harmon­ ized by generous fentiments and pious a:ffeB:ions, and habitually exercifed in genial affociations, retained their frefhnefs and vigor in old age. The fubjecl: of this notice was a dignified religious woman, an example, worthy of her anceftry, of the names which fhe bore, the ftatlons which ihe occupied, and the honor which fhe received. She fulfilled her pro­ bation equally in all her varied conditions of profperity and adverfity, of joy and forrow, with a fimplicity, propriety, and integrity peculiarly her own, and which fecured to her without her a1king or thinking to a1k, univerfal confidence, refpecl:, and love. And it was her privilege to die in a green old age, after a fhort and not uncommonly painful illnefs, with the hopes fhe had entertained from her early youth, and none of the terrors fhe had fometimes anticipated ; in a fociety which honored her, in a family circle fhe had long gladdened, and in the arms of her loving children. She lies in the grave-yard at Hanover, by the fide of her diiUnguifhed hufband ; and the place of their burial will be gratefully and reverently vifited, while the name of the Inftitution which they adorned, and whofe venerable halls caft their morning fhadows upon it, fhall be remembered. Dr. Brown fucceeded Rev. Triftram Gilman as paftor of the church at North Yarmouth, being ordained January 1 1, 18 Io. In a few months he was invited to take the chair of Profeffor of Languages at Dartmouth, and, much to the delight of his people declined. In I 8 I 5 the troubles between Prefident Wheelock and the truftees of the college 118 Gilman Genealogy. reached a climax, and Mr. Brown was elected to the office of Prefident. An intricate lawfuit enfued, upon which occafion Daniel Webfter, one of the counfel for the college~ expreffed great admiration for the intelleclual force and practical good fenfe which Mr. Brown brought to bear upon the fubject. The cares and anxieties of this fuit, added to his other heavy duties, were too fevere for his conftitution, and a pulmonary com­ plaint enfued which terminated his life July 27, 1820. Hon. Rufus Choate, whofe term at Dartmouth coincided with that of the prefidency of Dr. Brown, fpoke of him with great admiration, and fays that his adminiftration was marked by a noble vindication of the chartered rights of the college ; by a real advancement in learning, notwithftanding the unfavorable circumftances; and by collect.ions of ample libraries, and difplays of riper fcholarfuip. He had three children, one of whom, Samuel Gilman Brown, now Pre­ fident of Hamilton College, refides at Clinton, New York. He was born in January, 1813, when his father Wc!,S fettled at North Yarmouth. He was graduated in the clafs of 18 3 1, from Dartmouth College, and after completing a courfe of theology in 1837, he fpent two years in travel, vifiting weftern Europe, Greece, Egypt and Paleftine. While abroad, he was elected profeffor of oratory and belles-lettres in Dartmouth Col­ lege, which office he held from 1840 to 1863, when he was transferred to the chair of intelleclual philofophy and political economy. In 1867 Profeffor Brown was called to affume the office of Prefident of Hamilton College, which pofition he now occupies. He is the author of numer­ ous orations and addreffes, review articles, lectures, and other papers, which are characterized by a philofophical tone, and genuine literary fpirit. Befides commemorative addreffes on Profeifors Haddock and Putnam, he has publifhed an interefting review of the hiftory of the col­ lege, which he delivered before the fociety of the Alumni in 18 5 5. Among his other publifhed addreffes are, The Studies of an Orator,· A Eulogy on Henry Clay,· The Spirit of a Scholar; 'The Funllions and Privileges of a Scholar in the Crijis of the State, which laft was delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa fociety of Bowdoin College in 1863. .

He is the author of a volume entitled Biography of Se!f-Cfaught Men, publifhed in Bofton in 1847. Prefident Brown has written in addition, ten courfes of lec­ tures which are unpublifhed, one of which embraces the Earlier Englijh Literature, and another on Britijh Orators was delivered before the Low­ ell Inftitute in Bofton, in 1859.

Nicholas Gilman refided in Wells, Maine. In his youth he received a thorough training in the elements of knowledge, and in later years he greatly extended his reading and general information. His father was for forty years paftor of the firft church at North Yarmouth. Nicholas went to Wells about the year 1801. In 1821 he was appointed a Juf­ tice of the Peace, and held the office through life. He reprefented Wells in the State Legifiature fix years, and filled the offices of Town Clerk and SeleB:man for eighteen years. He was exceeding} y diffident and retired from the public eye fo perfeveringly that his eminent qualifications for the tranfaB:ion of public bufinefs would not have been known had he not been called to exercife them by the fuffrage of his fellow citizens. As a civil officer there is unanimous teftimony to his fidelity, ability and correB:nefs, fo that his death was deeply mourned by his townfmen as a public calamity. He entertained ftrong political views, and deemed it important that they fhould prevail, but he would allow himfelf in no improper ways to pro­ mote them. He performed the duties of his public trufts unfhackled by the ties of party, and conceded to others the privilege of forming and expreffing political opinions with entire independence. His unpretending and plain manners - his freedom from often ta ti on and difplay, and from the bias of party, are the traits that made the people to truft the keeping of the peace for fo many years in his hands. He was early inftrucled in the principles of the gofpel, but did not profefs to be perfonally interefted in religion until about 18 30. In I 8 3 I he was one of thofe who organ­ ized the Second Congregational Church in Wells. He was immediately chofen Scribe, and ever fince kept the church records with his wonted accuracy. In 1833 he was chofen Deacon, and held the office through life. In his religious life he acted, as he did in all things, from principle and not from impulfe. His religion was, therefore, contemplative rather than zealous. He enjoyed great equanimity of mind, and never fank into defpondency, nor rofe to ecftafy. In his laft ficknefs he was peace­ ful and confiding. 222. John, born January, 1786; died young. 223. Theodojia, born February 9, I 788 ; married Dr. John Stock­ bridge of Bath, Maine.

His education was ftriB:ly attended to, and he had the advantages of the cele­ brated academy eftablifhed in that place by Mr. Phillips. He was brought up to engage in mercantile purfuits. His highly educated mother having but one fon on whom to beftow her care, his moral and intel­ lectual culture was highly finifhed, and his whole after life fhowed the training of his early years.

When his parents removed to Marietta, in I 7 88, he accompanied them, and for the next quarter of a century his life was [pent in that place. In I 790 he returned to New England, and married the fecond daughter of Rev. Chandler Robbins, D. D., paftor of the firft church in Ply1nouth, Maffachufetts, the ceremony being performed by the bride's father. This marriage united the families of Prince, Hinckley, Hale, Ives, Bethune, Robbins, and Gilman, all of which were prominent among the Puritan pione_ers of America.* The journey from Plymouth to Ohio, at that day, was one of much hardfhip, and occupied about a month in its performance. This facl:, and the great diftance to whi'ch their daughter was removed, caufed Mr. and Mrs. Robbins more than the ufual folici­ tude. In writing to the mother of her daughter's hufband, Mrs. Robbins fays, under date June 6, 1790:

'' I once pleaf'd myfelf with the fond expectation that my children ·· (particularly my daughter) would live near me, and be the fo1ace of my declining years.

How I dreamt of joys perpetual, in perpetual change!

A firm belief that perfect wifdom and love authorizes every event frills my mind, and is my only anchor in the ftorms of life. Happy fhould I be if this thought was always impreff''d on my mind, and always influ­ enced my conduct I then iliould not be too much elated with profperity, or depreff'd with adverfity.

The young couple croffed the mountains on horfeback, .finding poor roads, and fcanty and coarfe accommodations, to ReJ Stone, or Pittlburg. Thence the journey to Marietta was by boat down the Ohio river. In 1792, Mr. Gilman began bufinefs as a merchant, and gradually in­ creafed his dealings until they became the moft extenfive of any in Mari­ etta. During the wars he feveral times only narrowly efcaped the rifle and tomahawk of the Indians. One day in 1794, he was engaged with a hired man named Robert Warth, on a lot about eighty rods. from Fort Harmer, which he had cleared for agricultural purpofes. Robert fpoke to Mr. Gilman, inquiring about the work, and before he had time to anfwer, he heard the fharp crack of a rifle, and looking quickly in the direction of the iliot, faw Robert fall dead, from a log on which he had been ftanding. Two Indians at the fame time gave Mr. Gilman chafe, but though they .fired at him, he reached the fort in fafety. His wife and mother heard the fhot, and the yell of the favages, and eagerly in­ quired, as he entered the fort, who was killed. The young wife of Ro­ bert was ftanding by, and when he replied, received the .fir.ft news of her hulband's cruel death. After this Mr. Gilman had many narrow efcapes from the favages. Such were fome of the experiences of the early fettlers on the rich acres of our weftern frontier. After the clofe of the war, Mr. Gilman dealt largely in futs, efpecially in bear fkins, having trading ftations on the Big Sandy, and Guyandot rivers, where the inhabitants engaged extenfively in hunting. In 1796 he was appointed Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Wafhington county, an office which he held until the Territory became a State. In 1802 he was one of the delegates to the convention which formed the Conftitution of the State of Ohio, and was very aaive and ufeful in completing that important inftrument. In 1801 he began the bufinefs of {hip-building, employing Captain Devol for the mafter-builder. Mr. Gilman was the firft to do this, on the Ohio river, and his veffels failed down the Miffiffippi to New Orleans,

• 124 Gilman Genealogy. and thence to the Atlantic cities, and various parts of the world. This bufinefs was ftopped by the embargo of 1807, which was intended by Prefident Jeiferfon to counteract Napoleon's Berlin and Milan decrees, and the Britilh orders in council. Although Mr. Gilman efcaped the ferious loffes that overwhelmed many enterprifing weftern men, his bufi­ nefs plans were deranged, and the life of Marietta was paralyzed. In 181 3 he removed with his family to the city of Philadelphia, where he engaged in extenfive bufinefs, as one of the houfe of Gilman & Ammidon. For this bufinefs his clear, calculating mind, enlarged views, and induil:ri­ ous habits, eminently qualified him, and for a number of years it was purfued with great fuccefs. His bufinefs operations often called him to vifit the valley of the Ohio, and one of thefe vifits he wrote the follow­ ing letter to Mrs. Gilman in Philadelphia:

Marietta, 14th Fehr11.11ry> 1816. I wrote to you, My dear Wife, laft evening & having juft heard of a private conveyance, I cannot let it pafs unimproved. My evenings are generally paired alone, in my chamber, where I have a good warm fire. Writing to you is the principal amufement. My letters are not all forwarded ; for fo fore as one is kept on hand half a day,_ I b~gin to think it too gay, or too ferious, and throw it in the fire. .. Sometimes I can beguile the tedious moments by clofing my eyes, mounting my feet upon the chimney"."piece and imagining myfelf at my own firefide.- It is then I fancy my littk boys are in the room with me - that I hear Winthrop exulting at having the lift, and Arthur archly demand­ ing a larger fiice of bread & butter. The delu:fion is as fleeting as pleafant, & I waken from my day-dreams with a full fenfe of the bitternefs of my exile. Perhaps you will fay, 'Why do you not return r' Prompted by the warmth of my feelings, I fornetimes pettHhly fay, 'I will be off, I will no longer protract this abfence from all I hold dear, for fordid drofs.' Then comes Prudence, whifpering in my ear, 'Here is a debt to be fecured, a farm to be fold, notes to be collected, fur contracts to be exe•. cuted.' The Dame alfo adrnonilhes me, by faying that bufinefs is dull at Philadelphia - there are more perfons in the ftore than can be employed Eighth Generation. 125

- expenfes are heavy- rents muft be punctually paid - fchool bills difcharged &c &c &c. I then conclude that it is beft for me to remain here, fo long as I can be ufeful to our firm. From prefent appearances I may yet be detained here fix weeks. To­ morrow I go to Zanefvi1Ie, & expect to be abfent about ten days. I contemplate defcending the Ohio, ( after my return from Zanefville) as far as Sandy River, and if I hear of Cartwright my voyage may be con­ tinued to Cincinnati. By the laft mail I recd the third letter from Colo. Sargent. He is more preffing than ever to have me vifit Natchez, & fays ' Indeed I am fure you will come.' Before I can finifh our bufinefs here, it will be too late for me to think of feeing New Orleans this feafon. The W afhington Benevolent Society are to have a feftive meeting the 22d. My journey to Zanefville furniihes a decent apology for my not joining in the amufements of the day, & were I to be prefent, it would be a joylefs day to me, for I £hould be thinking of thofe who are far away. Captain Greene has not yet arrived. I antifepate the pleafure of a letter from you, & a fecond 1heet of Rebecca's interefting journal, and am therefore quite impatient at the Captain's delay. I have had one vifit from Fulcher & I hope it will not be repeated. He entertained me with Nozle Town anecdotes for three long hours, and I fhould not have efcaped then, had not the dinner hour arrived. Judge Cutler is very friendly and clever. Mrs. Cutler prefonts her regards. She has only five children. .. I believe that you have not had an account of the progrefs of my bufi­ nefs in any former letter. I have fold the little fchooner built by Mr. Whitney- the Galor farm on Duck creek- 300 acres of land at Lud­ low's Ripple- 100 acres at Old Town creek-a brick ftore (formerly occupied by Jo~n Leavens) at Springfield-fome houfe lots and out lots at Marietta- and a houfe lot oppofite the great Efquire Sharps on Point Harmar. This day I have rented my favorite farm to a very refpeB:able tenant from New England. Now is not all this very interefting informa­ tion ? I dare fay you never heard of the Galor farm &c. before, & I am fore you never wifh to fee or hear of them again. Gilman Genealogy.

I do not like to have either of them take the hazard of croffing the mountains in the ftage, & it wil1 be too expenfive to buy a horfe in Philadelphia. Do, however, as may be thought beft.

And may our Heavenly Father protea and fuffer us all to meet again in this world, and prepare us all for a more bleffed ftate. Such is the prayer of your affeclionate hulband. Benjn. IveJ Gilman. Mrs. Hannah Gilman.

Two of Mr. Gilman's fons having fettled in Alton, Illinois, he made a vifit to that place in 1833, when he was attacked by a fever, and died October 13th of that year. Mrs. Hannah Robbins Gilman was, as has been ftated, the fecond daughter of the Rev. Chandler Robbins, D. D., who for about forty years was the refpeB:ed paftor of the fir ft church at Plymouth, Mafs. She was brought up with great care and tendernefs, by her venerable father, and received as good an education as it was cuftomary to befto~ on females of the .firft families of that day. She was a girl of great fprightlinefs and vivacity, always cheerful, and abounding in kindnefs to her affociates, as well as to her own family. A joyful, kind fpirit, ar.imated her frame throughout the whole courfe of her life. In February, 1 790, fhe was married, and nothing marred the joy of the Eighth Generation. 127 feftive occafion, but the circumftance of her expected removal to fo gr.eat a diftance from her parents. The New Englanders were at this time an untraveled people. They had not yet learned to roam over all parts of the earth, and a journey of a hundred miles, even, was not undertaken by the pious, without the public prayers of the church for its fuccefs. This journey of eight hundred miles feemed to the old people fo formid­ able, that the expectation of feeing their daughter in this life appeared almoft hopelefs, and the final adieu was affecting and folemn. On arriving at Marietta, Mrs. Gilman found many intemgent and kind friends who gave her a hearty welcome, and the fociety of her hufhand's mother was fufficient to make her forget the lonelinefs of the wildernefs in the pleafures of home. From her fhe received all that love and tender­ nefs fhe could have expeB:ed from her own mother, and which only the affecl:ionate female heart knows how to beftow upon a beloved daughter. A frequent intercourfe by letter alfo folaced her uneafy mind, and fhe wrote to her parents regularly once a month, when there was an opportu­ nity of fending a letter, which before I 794 was only by private conveyance. In I 798 her brother~ Samuel Prince Robbins, was graduated at Harvard Univerfity, at which time her other brother, Peter Gilman Robbins, was a frefhman. After completing his college courfe, Samuel Prince Robbins ftudied theology under the care of the venerable Dr. Alvan Hyde, who was for near half a century paftor -0f the church at Lee, Mafs. During portions of this period he refided at Norfolk, Connecl:icut, where his relative, the Rev. Ammi Ruhamah Robbins, long preached to another Congregational church. In 1805 Mr. Robbins received a call from the firft Congregational church and fociety of Marietta, which he accepted, and was ordained January, i8o6. This church rapidly enlarged, and in I 807, chiefly through the efforts of Benjamin Ives Gilman, General Rufus Putman, and others, a large and handfome church was erecl:ed. The effort was a vaft one for fo fmall a fociety, and the edifice yet ftands as a monument to their liberality. Mr. Robbins was diligent in his paftoral labors, and in 18 I I the place experienced a revival, during which Mrs. Gilman united herfelf with the Gilman Genealogy. church under her brother's care. While fhe remained in Marietta, ihe was an ornament and fupport to this church. When Mr. Gilman left the fcene of his activity in 18 I 3, and removed to Philadelphia, where he could enlarge the fphere of his mercantile tranfaB:ions, Mrs. Gilman was filled with regrets at lo:fing the companion­ ihip of her female friends, but much more at leaving the brother whom ihe fo dearly loved. The family arrived at· Philadelphia the 25th of September. The change, from the comparative quiet of Marietta to the ordinary confufion of the city, was great, but juft at that time there was an unufual com­ motion. The news of the great victory achieved September 1 oth by the American forces under Oliver Hazard Perry, over the Britifh commanded by Robert Heriot Barclay, on lake Erie, had juft been received, and the whole city was illuminated with every fign of joy and mirth. There being no Congregational church in Philadelphia, Mrs. Gilman became a member of the Prefbyterian church of which Rev. Thomas H. Skinner, D. D .., was paftor,·and for many years profited by his preach­ ing. During the period of feparation ihe continued in conftant co refpond­ ence with her brother until the year 1823. An epidemic fever, of fatal feverity, vifited the region about the Ohio river in 1822, and returned in 18 2 3. In the laft year Mrs. Gilman loft one of her fons, and her much loved brother, Samuel Prince Robbins. Before her own death, which occurred in New York city, in I 836, ihe was called to mourn the lofs of her hufhand and feveral of her children. Like gold tried in a furnace, her Chriftian graces were purified, and ihone brighter and brighter under every new affiicl:ion. When fhe died ihe left behind her a bleffed mem­ ory in the hearts of all who knew her. In perfon, Mrs. Gilman is defcribed as of medium height, with a handfome, well-formed frame. Her manners were graceful and very attractive, combined with a dignity that always commanded refpecl:. Her face was full and round, with features of the exacl:eft proportions, and a fweet expreffion. Her hair was black, and her eyes dark and full of intelligence. When engaged in animated converfation, her_ face and eyes were radiant with meaning, giving an intereft to her expreffions very Eighth Generation. I 29

Her love and care for her hufband and children were unbounded, and no facrifice of perfonal comfort was, in her opinion, too great if conducive to their happinefs. Her memory is ftill dear to many who knew her in Marietta, and the hiftory of her life, and Chriftian characl:er are the rightful heritage of that place. *

Mansfield, ufes the following words in regard to the early fettlers of Marietta : '' So various and eventful lives as theirs have fcarcely ever fallen to the lot of man. They were born under a monarchy, fought the battle of independence, affifted in the baptifm of a great republic, then moved into a wildernefs and laid the foundations of a state, itfelf almoft equalling an empire.

William Charles (388), born May 2, 1795; died in New York city, June 6, 1863; married, May 2, 1820, Eliza Coit (daughter of Daniel Lathrop Coit), who was born in Norwich, Conn., Auguft 23, 1796, and died in that place, March I 6, 1868. The boy hood of William C. Gilman was fpent in the place of his birth, the quiet town of Exeter, where his anceftors had dwelt from the early colonial days ; his youth was paffed in Bofton, amidft all the exciting and cultivating influences of a city; during his middle life his home was in Norwich, Conne8icut, a town largely made up of bufy, thriving, manufacturing villages ; and his later years were ferenely dofed in the city of New York. All thefe influences may be diftinB:ly traced in the development of his character. They will be reviewed in fuccef­ fion, though the tafk. will not be eafy, for the perfonal memoranda which are now at command are few and fragmentary. 1 34 Gilman Genealogy. Refpecting his boyhood little can be ftated. His mother was a wo­ man of great evennefs, felf-control, and lovelinefs of difpofition, and his father was a man of enterprife, verfatility, and marked conftructive ability. The traits of both may be traced in this fon. On the printed lift of fcholars in Phillips Academy at Exeter, the name of William Gilman is enrolled under the date of I 806, when he was eleven years of age. He afterwards affumed Charles as a middle name, the firft na_me alone being hardly diftinB:ive enough, in that neighborhood of Gilrnans. That patriarch of American teachers, Dr. Benjamin Abbot, had been in I 806, for nearly twenty years, Principal of the Academy, and among the affiftant inftruB:ors in that year were Nathan Ha]e, and Alexander H. Everett. Thefe were men of mark, and they made a good fchool, one which left an indelible impreffio!1 upon the minds of the fcholars, even of fuch as enjoyed the inftrucl:ion for a brief time only. William Gilman would have gone to college if his father's intentions had been carried out. Without doubt he would have entered Harvard College, where his mother's grandfather, Rev. Nicholas Gilman, had graduated in 1724, and her uncle, Rev. Triftram Gilman, in 17 5 7. It is not unlikely that he wou]d have been a member of the clafs of I 813, with his friend and coufin, Mr. Charles Fol­ fom of Cambridge. But Mr. Odiorne, a conneB:ion of the family who was engaged in bufinefs in Bofton, requefted that the fchool-boy might come for a time into his counting-room. The invitation was accepted, and although this arrangement was at .firft regarded as but temporary, it proved to be fo advantageous to both parties, as to interrupt completely the project of a claffical education. Thus going to Bofton when he was about thirteen years old, Mr. Gil­ man became a clerk in the ftore of Meffrs. George, Thomas & Eben Odiorne, who were engaged in the bufinefs of iron merchants near Fort Hill. They had alfo large Mills at Malden for the manufacture of nails. This refidence in a large town afforded to a young man of active mind and ready fympathies, opportunities for culture which in fome degree made up for the want of college training. He became acquainted with men and inftitutions of a fuperior charaB:er, and formed many friendfhips which were never forgotten. He always loved Bofton and ufed to vifit

it in ~later life as an early home, maintaining a perfonal intereft in its churches, its charities, its libraries, its mercantile profperity and growth. His bufinefs training was uncommonly good, as evinced by his penman­ fhip, his account books, and his files of correfpondence of an early date, as well as by the quick, accurate, and judicious action of his mind, which continued through life. During the recent war ( while one of his fons was on duty as a volunteer at Harper's Ferry), he ufed to recall his mem­ berfhip in the company of Rifle Rangers, of which he was a fergeant when the war of 1812 called out the young men of Bofton to garrifon the harbor forts. Twice he rendered fervice in that way. Without having written evidence of the fact, we cannot doubt that his religious character was very much influenced by the preaching of Dr. Edward Dorr Griffin, who was minifter of the Park Street church from 1811 to 1815, and whofe fame as an eloquent Calviniftic pulpit orator is not yet forgotten. Some idea of Dr. Griffin's ftyle may be gathered from a volume of Park Street LeEluru delivered to crowded affcmblies on Sunday evenings in the winter of I 8 I 2-1 3, and a life-like portrait of the preacher, delineated by the :fkilful pen of Dr. Sprague, may be found in his Pulpit Annals.* Mr. Gilman's thoughts, in his laft illnefs, turned frequently to Bofton. "I ufed to fing that in Park ftreet choir," he faid when a familiar hymn was fung in his hearing. "Tell the nurfe," he faid.again, "that the earlieft fubfcription paper I ever carried around was one drawn up by Dr. Griffin for a difabled nurfe in his congregation." As foon as he reached the age of twenty-one, Mr. Gilman was ready to engage in bufinefs on his own account. The country was then be­ ginning to recover from the financial depreffion which the war of 18 I 2 had produced. The bufinefs capital originally invefted in the carrJing trade, which had been diverted from that fource of revenue by the embargo and the difturbances in Europe, was now directed to the eftablilhment of thofe manufaB:ories which have fince contributed largely to the wealth of New England. Leaving Bofton to feek out for himfe]f a new home and place of bufi-

* Prejbyterians, Vol. II, pp. 26-43. Gilman Genealogy. nefs, Mr. Gilman went upon a tour of obfervation to various towns in Maifachufetts, Rhode Ifiand and Connecticut. This led him to Norwich. One of his friends ftill lives who remembers driving him, forty-feven years before his death, from Jewett's City to the Landing, on this his earlieft vifit to his future home. Very little progrefs had then been made in the eftablifhment of the manufactures which are now fo important an element in the profperity of Norwich; but the admirable water power in the Yantic, Shetucket, and Quinebaug rivers, the nearnefs to Long Hland Sound, and the con­ fequently eafy communication with New York and other large towns, to fay nothing of the thrifty character of the community, and the romantic beauty of the fcenery, pointed clearly to its future profperity as the feat of induftry, trade and wealth. Here, in 1816, Mr. Gilman began to refide ; here for nearly thirty years he was identified with the facial, .financial, political, and religious progrefs of the community ; here, in 18 20, he was married, and here his nine children were born; here three of his brothers and a married fifter came alfo to refide ; and here, at length, his body was brought to its final refting place, on the banks of the beautiful Y antic. Although the earlier and later years· of his life were fpent elfewhere, it is with Norwich that he is chiefly identified. He loved its rivers and rocks, its walks and drives, its people, its fchools, its churches, its benevo­ lent focieties, and he rejoiced in whatever promoted its welfare. The firft bufinefs in which Mr. Gilman engaged after removing to Norwich, was the manufacture of nails at the Yantic Falls, employing a procefs of machinery then lately invented. A few years later he became aifociated with feveral gentlemen of Bofton and Norwich, in a corporation known as the ihames Manufalluring Company, having a capital of $300,000, and authorized by the charter which was granted in 1823, to engage in the manufacture of cotton, woolen, and iron goods. This company was concerned in the efl:ablifh­ ment of manufaB:ories at the falls, and was alfo for a time owner of a mill at Bozrahvi11e, and of another at Greeneville. In 1829, Mr. Gilman was one of the originators of the Norwich and New York Manufacturing Eighth Generation. 1 37 Company, likewife organized for the making of cotton and woolen goods. To this, and to the Thames Company, the early growth of the Falls village is chiefly due. In the laft mentioned year the Norwich Water Power Company was formed, of which, for many years, Mr. Gilman was the fecretary and treafurer. The object of this affociation was to render the Shetucket and Quinebaug rivers available for factories; and the prefent thriving village of Greeneville bears teftimony to the forefight of thofe who then pro­ jeB:ed the improvements in that feB:ion of the town. The increafe of manufactures, and the general growth of the town foon demanded greater facilities for the tranfportation of merchandife. Norwich was fituated midway between Bofton and New York., and with both thefe cities it needed to be in eafy communication. When a rail­ road conneB:ion with the firft named city was projeB:ed, Mr. Gilman took hold of the enterprife with earneftnefs, becoming one of the original directors of the Bojlon, Norwich and New London Railroad Company, incorporated in 1832,.and the firft prefident of the Norwich and Wor­ ce.fter Railroad Company, which four years later fucceeded to the .firft­ named company. The road thus built was the firft railroad in ConneB:i­ cut, and by means of its connection with the W eftern road at W orcefter, Norwich was brought near to Bailon. The pecuniary returns which were. made to the projectors of this enterprife amounted to nothing ; but the fervice which was rendered to the town by their energy and perfe­ verance, cannot readily be overrated. Mr. Gilman was alfo prefident of the fteam boat company which maintained communication with New York. He was likewife prefident of the Quinebaug Bank, and a director for many years of the Thames and Tolland Banks. He was alfo prominent in organizing the Norwich Savings Society, of which for many years fubfequent to its charter he was a vice-prefident. This bank has been one of the moil: ufeful inftitutions in the town, affording a fafe and convenient mode of irJ.veftment for thoufands of perfons whofe means were fmall, and efpecially for the operatives in the mills, in whofe intereft, partially at leaft, it was eftablifhed. 'fhis enumeration of a part of the bufinefs matters with which Mr. s Gilman Genealogy.

Gilman was concerned, may illuftrate his influence upon the material pro­ fperity of the town, but it will give no juft idea of his efforts to promote the welfare of all with whom he had to do. Living near the faB:ories at the falls, of which, for more than twenty years, he was more or lefs in charge, he exerted his official and perfonal influence to advance the phyfical and moral welfare of all who were there employed. This he did by the ereB:ion of good tenements, the promo­ tion of temperance, the maintenance of day fchools, Sunday fchools, and religious meetings and the eilablifhment of a church. He endeavored at all times to fhow himfelf the friend of thofe whom he employed, confult­ ing their interefts as well as his own. The little Congregational church which met for a time in a ftore at the Falls, then in the brick chapel beneath the hill, and afterwards in a meeting-houfe ftill ftanding on the plain, near the U ncas monument, although maintained at much perfonal

facrifice 1 was the means of great ufefulnefs to all the neighborhood. Judge Goddard, Gen. Williams, and Mr. C. W. Rockwell, all refident near by, were alfo active promoters of this enterprife. In connection with the Sunday fchool of this church, a feries of celebrations was projected for the fourth of July, which all the children of the town took part in. They were ufually held in the grove belonging to Judge Goddard which overlooks the head of the Cove, near the Indian burying ground, and they afforded high delight to "the rifing generation." Accounts of feveral of thefe gatherings were printed in the newfpapers of the day. The fame intereft which was iliown in the church at the Falls was extended to other churches in the vicinity, and efpedally to thofe which needed encouragement and aid. In thofe at Greenevi11e and Mohegan he was efpecially interefted. Soon after removing to Norwich he had united with the fecond Congregational church, and for feveral years he was fuperintendent of the Sunday fchoo1 connected with it. When the Falls church was given up, he hecame one of the original members of the fifth Congregational church. His marriage had alfo interefted him in the firft church, fo that far more than is common, he had the fympa­ thies of a member in all the Congregational churches of the town. But there was nothing fectarian in this fympathy. On the contrary he Eighth· Generation. I 39 delighted to cooperate with all good people, and with this in view, he would bring together at his houfe all the minifters of the town, or would unite all the Sunday fchools in a public celebration, or would eil:ablifh a religious meeting for the deftitute in which all the clergymen were invited to take part. The improvement of public and private fchools was another object which lay near his heart. In the eilablifhment of the female academy at the Landing, and of the boys' academy on the Little Plain, he was active, and there are fame of his aifociates ftill living, who can teftify how often in the meetings in the fchool fociety his voice ufed to be raifed on what was then the unpopular fide, in favor of the eftablifhment and improvement of the common fchools. A gentleman whofe name is well known in connection with the hiftory of education in the State, bears this teftimony to the influence of Mr. Gilman.

"I cannot forbear to fay, that of all the men who met me cordially in my firfl: circuit through this State, jufl: a quarter of a century ago, I remember none whofe greeting was fo cheering, and followed me fo like a fmile through the years of hard labor which followed, as Mr. Gilman's, and I have never met him fince without thinking better of human nature, and of the value of a cheerful, hopeful confl:itution of mind, fuftained by conftant efforts to do every good work which it was in his power to do to everybody. His happinefs was in his work.,,

But thefe benevolent labors were not reftricted to objects at home. All the modifications of Chriftian activity were dear to him. The diftri­ bution of the Bible, the eftablifhment of churches in the Weft, the im­ provement of prifons, the elevation of feamen, and the promotion of the temperance reformation, were among the charities to which he directed his attention fo far as his time and means would allow. None of thefe great works commanded more of his thought than the promotion of foreign million~. He kept up a particular familiarity wjth all the work of the American Board, becoming acguainted fo far as he could with all the miffionaries of that fociety. The meeting of the Board in Nor­ wich in I 842 was the fir.ft of the large affemblies which now mark its anniverfary. Among other arrangements which he contrived to give Gilman Genealogy. intereft to this occafion, he a£fembled at his houfe thofe who had been in the miffionary fervice abroad, and thofe about to engage in it. This focial gathering was fo attractive that it became at once cuftomary at the meetings of the Board. He was an active leader in political affairs, laboring earneftly in the prefidential elections for the fupport of Wm. Henry Harrifon and Henry Clay, and the principles which they reprefented ; and yet he wanted no public office. In 1838 he was chofen Mayor of the city of Norwich, and held the office for a fingle year. After his removal to New York he took no part in political meetings, but he was an early and hopeful member of the Republican and Union party, rejoicing in the overthrow of flavery and the triumph of the national fovereignty. Mr. Gilman's intereft in the hiftory of Norwich was great. He was fond of examining the early records, of talking about old times with the older inhabitants, of vifiting the fites which are famous in the local hiftory, and of befriending the remnant of the Mohegan tribe, now rapidly dwindling away. He was an advocate of the monument to Uncas which was finally ereB:ed by the ladies of Norwich. When the fhaft was placed in its pofition above the Sachem's grave he publifhed a newfpaper fheet entitled The Uncas Monument, in which were collected various hif­ torical memoranda appropriate to the occafion. This paper was play­ fully announced as publiihed once in three httndred and fifty years-1492, 1842. He was inftrumental alfo in procuring a granite block to be placed on Miantonomoh's grave, and he utged the erection of fome me­ morial column on the grave of Major Mafon. From the various memo­ randa which he made there is reafon to believe that he once thought of preparing a hiftory of Norwich.

It is not often that one who is fo deeply interefted in all the affairs of the community, in which he dwells, can transfer himfelf, at the age of .fifty years, to fcenes and occupations totally different, and enter into new relations with fpirit and fuccefs. But this was the cafe with Mr. Gilman. Eighth· Generation.

The financial embarraffments which fwept over the country in 18 3 7 were difaftrous to many manufacturing companies, and among them to the Thames Company, of which he was the agent. As he had pledged for this company his private credit, endorfing the company's notes for their fole advantage, he became involved with them in ferious loffes. This, however, is not the place to dwell upon the circumftances by which the accumulations of years paft, and the hopes of years to come, were fwept away in a moment. After waiting feveral years in Norwich in the hope of feeing the interefts revived in which he had been concerned, he determined to [eek out a new fphere of activity. But he did not take this ftep until he had affigned, for the benefit of his creditors, every dollar of his property, even the watch which for years he had carried. It was a fevere and prolonged trial, but it was borne with tranquillity and patience, with cheerfulnefs and refignation. Refiding in New York from I 844 until his deceafe, Mr. Gilman was engaged at firft in the dry goods commiffion bufinefs in Pine ftreet, and afterwards in the negotiation of bufinefs paper and infurance fcrip in Wall ftreet. While engroffed with bufinefs cares, his readinefs to labor for others, in feafon and out of feafon, was as conftant as it had been in Norwich, though the city prefented different objects of beneficent activity from thofe of a manufacturing town. Mr. Gilman was brought at once into the management of feveral of the benevolent focieties with which at a diftance he had been accuftomed to cooperate. He was made a director or manager in the New York and Brooklyn Foreign Mij/ionary Society, the American Home Mij/ionary Society, the N. r. City 'Traff Society, the N. r. Sunday School Union, the American 'Tetnperance Union, the N. r. Prifan A.lfociation, and the Ameriran Congregational Union. In the efforts to reclaim the deftitute children of the city he was inde­ fatigable. He was one of the original members of the Afylum far Friendlefs Boys, and of the Juvenile .Afylum into which it was merged. He united with others in forming the Children's .Aid Society to provide homes in the country for vagrant and needy children, and induftrial fchools for fuch as cannot be removed from the city. He was unofficially Gilman Genealogy. a frequent vifitor and a friend of the Houfe of Refuge. For many years he was in the habit of vifiting the Sunday fchools, efpecially of the neglected diftriB:s of the city, and fubfequently he conduB:ed, for feveral years, a boys' meeting in a miffion church in Sixth ftreet. For eleven years he had charge of the Sunday fchool in the Half Orphan Afylum. None of thefe trufi:s was merely nominal. To every one he devoted time, labor and thought. Many of them were fimultaneoufly main­ tained, fo that at times almoft all his evenings were engroffed either by the meetings of the Boards to which he belonged, or by that examina­ tion of accounts, preparation of reports, and devifing of plans, which thefe refponfib.ilities involved. He made it a principle to inquire into the income and outlay of all the charitable focieties to which he belonged, comparing the refults accomplifhed in different focieties, and in different cities, and devifing wife and economical plans for the collection and difburfement of funds. It was his habit, alfo, through life, to contribute liberally and proportionally to many objects, and efpecially to thofe which were lefs confpicuous as public charities, inftead of concentrating his gifts upon a few favored focieties. In looking over his account books for feveral years, at a period in his early life when his income was fixed, it appears that he then fet apart regularly one-fixth of his earnings as a charity fund, upon which he drew whenever an object commended itfelf to his benevolence. His moil: liberal gifts were to thofe objecl:s which he thought others would forget or neglect ; but on the other hand he did not refrain from giving to thofe larger charities, which appeal to all the be­ nevolent, for he wifhed to be alfo a fhareholder in fuch undertakings. One who knew him well in church affairs after his removal to New York (Rev. J. P. Thompfon), has faid, that "in the Broadway Taber­ nacle church, and afterwards in the Church of the Puritans, he proved an efficient laborer and a judicious counfellor. Alike in meetings for devotion, and in the conduct of ecclefiaftical affairs, his ripe experience, his practi­ cal wifdom, his benignant fpirit, his readinefs to fulfill every duty, and meet every refponfibility, caufcd him to be looked up to as a leader, while his modefl: difregard of perfonal preferment, led him to decline office, except as a means of more ufeful fervice. While adhering tenacioufly Eighth Generation. 143 to the church polity of the New England fathers, he ever manifefted the fpirit of true catholicity toward all the difciples of Chrift.'' One word fhould be added in refpecl: to the perfonal demeanor of Mr. Gilman. vVith all his manifold cares and occupations, he rarely foemed hurried, and never was :flurried. He had a quiet way of dif­ patching bufinefs, a conftant ferenity of countenance, a fweetnefs of voice, and an acceffibility of manner which never failed him. He would play with a little child, or help an ignorant and forlorn beggar, or guide a fl:ranger in the ftreet with complete devotion, and he would fpeak in an excited meeting, or reply to a vexatious intruder with a wonderful degree of felf compofure. But he knew how to be fevere, authoritative, and unyielding, when the right was in danger from the wrong. In times of ficknefs, danger, or trouble, his prefence of mind, his quiet efficiency, his calm affurance, were a fupport to all who were near him. His de­ fire to ftrengthen whatever was good, to harmonize conflicting interefts, when this could be done without a facrifice of principle, to "pour in oil 77 as he fometimes expreffed it, upon wounded feelings, was as remarkable as his ready detection of abufes and errors in principle and action, and his fearlefs pertinacity in feeking their removal. Not long before his laft illnefs, the converfation turned, in a circle where he was, on the different theories of what conftitutes a Chriftian life. After quietly liftening to others, he remarked, " willing to do, rejigned ta Juffer, I fuppofe that expreffes it.'' It was at leaft the fit expreffion for his life. In a wallet which he always carried, a flip of paper was found, after he had gone, on which were the following words. He had noted them fometime previous, from one of the fermons of a preacher whom he loved to hear :

The love of Chrifl conflraineth us to do all the good we can, in all the wa)'S •we can, to all the people we i:an, in all the places we can, at all the times we can, as long as •we can. -Dr. Adams. 144 Gilman Genealogy. This verfe was alfo copied :

Work on, defpair not, bring thy mite Nor care how f mall it be ; God is with all who ftrve the right The humble, true, and free.

His laft illnefs was fhort. On the 25th of May, 1863, he was vifited by a fl:roke of paralyfis, from which he never recovered. His wife and children were all near him in his clofing days. His mind was clear and fl:rong. His foul was ferene and full of love to all about h!m, and to others more remote. The hymns in which he had always taken delight refrefhed his weary hours, the Pfalms and the Gofpels fupported his de­ clining fteps ; the tendereft affection watched all his wants, caught every w hifper ; and fo he paffed to his reft, calmly going to meet the Mafter whofe earthly fervice had been his joy, and whofe heavenly recognition he could not fear. He died on a beautiful fummer morning, June 6, 1863, at the beginning of his 69th year. 269. Serena, born September 10, 1797. Lives in Exeter. 270.

This church was originally called The Independent T Gilman Genealogy.

Church, and Rev. William Tennent, A. M., was its firft paftor. He was born in New Jerfey in I 7 40, and arrived in Charlefton in I 772. Under his care the church profpered, and the walls of a new houfe of worfhip were completed before the Revolutionary war. He died in the thirty-feventh year of his age, and was fucceeded by Rev. Ifaac Stockton Keith, D. D., who died in 18 I 3, and was fucceeded by Rev. Anthony Foril:er, who died in I 820. Dr. Gilman was the next paftor. He con­ tributed many papers to the North .American Review, the Chr!Jlian Ex­ aminer, Southern Quarterly Review, and other periodicals, on a variety of fubjecl:s connecl:ed with philofophy and general literature. In I 8 56 he publifhed in Bofton a volume of Contributions to Literature, defcrip­ tive, critical and humorous; biographical, philofaphical and poetical. His works include Memoirs of a New England /7illage Choir, of which three editions have been Hfued, and the Pleafures and Pains of a Student's Lift. He tranfiated the fatires of Boileau, and publifhed fome original poems, among which latter are the Hijiory of a Roy of Light, and a poem read before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard. He took a prominent part in Charlefton in promoting the temperance caufe, as well as the interefts of literature.* The writer vifited Charlefton in 18 6 5, and found Dr. Gilman's elegant church had come unfcathed through the dangers of bombardment, and that the memory of the paftor was frill deeply revered. At the time of nullification, Dr. Gilman was ftrongly oppofed to the docl:rines of John C. Calhoun, and wrote a Union Ode, which is one of the fineft productions of the kind. It is faid that it produced an elecl:ri­ fying effecl: when fung at a grand union mafs meeting. During the late war it was frequently fung with remarkable effecl:, and was extenfively circulated in the columns of the New York Tribune.

Mrs. Caroline Howard Gilman was born in Bofton, OB:ober 8, 1794, and is a daughter of the late Samuel Howard of that city.

Nathaniel (417), born November 13, 1793; died October 27, I 8 58 ; married, firji, November 6, I 8 l 7, Mifs Elizabeth Gardiner of Philadelphia, Pennfylvania, who was born, December 11, 1798, and died April 30, 1838; Jecond, Mifs Lydia E. Colton of Spring.field, Maffachu­ fetts, who furvived him, and now refides in Exeter. For two years after his firft marriage, Mr. Gilman was a{fociated in mercantile bufinefs with his maternal uncle, vVoodbridge Odlin, in the city of Philadelphia. Mr. Odlin accepted the office of United States Conful at San Salvador, Brazil, which caufed a diffolution of this part­ nerfhip, and Mr. Gilman returned to his native town, to refide perma­ nently. Born and reared amid the affociations of a home that is confe­ crated by, and identified with, the· memories of an honored anceftry, his character exhibited il:erling traits which he had inherited. He was emphatically a man of affairs. His [elf-reliance and refolute perfiftence enabled him to project, undertake, and carry out, plans that were at once complex and extenfive. He was a 1kilful farmer, an acl:ive merchant, and a manufacturer. His varied and embarraffing refponfibilities infpired him to greater effort, as they were thruft upon him, and with dauntlefs courage, he looked forward with faith in his own ability. True to his anceftral inftincts, he courted the dignity and indefendence of a landed eH:ate, and found fpecial gratification in overfeeing his growing crops, and direcl:ing in the management of his live-frock. In perfon he was of a com-· manding figure, and fine addrefs, with a military air. Nature feemed to have marked him for a foldier. vVhen the la.ft war with England broke out, Mr. Gilman was quite a young man. Owing to political prejudices probably, he did not at firft take an active part in the {l:irring fcenes of the day. But when the enemy's fleet cruifed in dangerous proximity to the coafi: of New Hampfhire, and threatened Portfmouth, and the navy yard, the {mouldering fpirit of his patriot-fires was fanned into a flame. Old Rockingham county was aroufed, and, in command of one hundred and twenty brave men, Captain Nathaniel Gilman marched promptly to u 154 Gilman Genealogy. the fcene of danger. When the threatened danger was gone, he refumed the more agreeable part of the civilian. He was not fchooled in the arts of eloquence, and political life had but little attraction for him. Like many others of his name, he poffeffed the eloquence of deeds, and when his words were brought out, they carried weight and conviction to his hearers. He had a fl:rong love of life - not merely to live, but to do - and after his phy:fical frame was well nigh exhaufted, his unfubdued will ftill urged his weary members to action. After an eventful and fucceff­ ful life of fixty-five years, he finally refted from his labors, and fiept with his fathers, October 27th, 1858. Mr. Gilman's firft wife was the eldeft child of John Gardiner, Jr., of Philadelphia, by his firft wife, Mary Jervis. Mr. Gardiner was a fuc­ cefsful ihipping merchant, and a gentleman of enterprife and wealth. His daughter's focial and family ties caufed her to cherifh a warm intereft in the members of the fociety of Friends, and a peculiar charm was imparted to her converfation and letters, from her adoption of the phrafeology of that worthy people. To a vivacious and animated temper £he united many winning traits enhanced by her perfonal accornpliihments. In fociety fhe not infrequently difcovered a delicate play of wit or fancy, and fome of the productions of her pen proved that the poetic power was not altogether latent. Her fafcinating qualities of mind and heart infured the warm efteem of all who made her acquaintance. It was no fmall trial, when Mrs. Gilman removed from the home of her youth, that fhe facrificed the home of birth for that of adoption. But though near ties were fe­ vered, £he foon formed an affectionate circle of friends at Exeter. In her domeftic life £he exhibited the law of love, and reigned fupreme in the affections of a devoted family. Her laft illnefs was very tedious, but fhe endured it with a fubmiffive fpirit, and, fupported by the confolations of a good Chriftian hope, died April 30th, I 8 3 8. Mr. Gilman's fecond wife furvives him, and now enjoys a life ferene in view of her pleafant home circle, and in the performance of worthy purpofes. 298. Ann, born Auguft 10, 1796; died January 2, 1827; married Col. John Rogers, who died July 22, 1837. Ninth Generation. 1 55 299. Nicholas (424), born September 2, 1799 ; died January 23, 1840.

She was born January 14, 1803, and refides in Exeter. 300. Samuel Taylor, born May 7, 1801 ; died at Exeter, January 23, 1835, where his remains were interred. He was graduated at Phillips, Exeter, Academy in I 8 1 I, at Harvard in 1 8 1 9, and afterwards ftudied and practiced law. He never married. 301. Daniel, born June 28, 1804; died January 4, 1841. He was an honorable and intelligent merchant, and poffeffed many noble traits of character. His death occurred at Mazatlan, Mexico, whither he had come from Canton, China, in the profecution of a mercantile million in which he and the houfe of Ruffell & Co., of Canton, were jointly intereil:ed. 302. john Taylor (427), born May 9, 1806; married, Auguft 24, 1837, Helen, daughter of Hon. Reuel Williams, a United States Senator, of Augufta, Maine. Mr. Gilman was graduated at Bowdoin College, ftudied medicine, and now practices in Portland, Maine. 303. Charles Edwin, born February 12, I 808 ; died at fea, January 23, I 840. 304. Mary Olivia, born March 9, 1810; married, June 1, 1829, Commodore John Collings Long of the United States Navy, who died at Conway, N. H., on Saturday, September 2, 1865, while on an excurfion to the White Mountains. Commodore Long entered the United States Navy as Midfhipman .. With his warrant, which was dated June 18, 1812, he received orders to the frigate Conftellation, Commodore Bainbridge, with whom, in the following Auguil:, he was transferred to the frigate Confl:itution, and took part in the acl:ion which refulted in the capture of the Britifu frigate Java, on the 29th of December, 181 z. At the time of his death, Commodore Long was the only furviving officer of that action. In Sep­ tember, 1814, he was ordered to the W afhington, feventy-four gun fhip, Commodore Hall, and by him was placed in command of gunboat No. Gilman Genealogy.

87. At a fubfequent period he was ordered to the brig Boxer, Lt. Commander John Porter, and cruifed in the Mediterranean fea, Gulf of

Mexico, and among the Weft India iflands until caft away, OB:ober 2 7, 18 1 7. During this cruife the Carribean fea was cleared of dangerous pirates. For the ten fucceeding years Commodore Long made voyages to the Eaft Indies, Java, Madagafcar, and various parts of the Pacific ocean. He afterwards commanded the fchooner Dolphin, twelve guns and ninety men, on the Pacific, and the floop .Bofton, of twenty-two guns and two hundred and fifteen men, on the Eaft India ftation. In the 1aft veffel he vifited the iflands of the South Pacific, New Holland, and the Sandwich Iflands, returning to Bofton by way of Cape Horn, touch­ ing at Rio Janeiro, and thus completing the circuit of the world. In 1849, 1850, and 1851, he commanded the fteam frigate Miffiffippi, in the Mediterranean, and after landing our minifter· at Conftantinople, Hon. George P. Marfil, he took on board Governor Louis Koffuth and fixty­ two of his fellow exiles, having been affigned the perplexing duty of bringing that excited patriot to America. Commodore Long refufed to allow Koffuth to deliver revolutionary harangues at Mar[eilles, which fo much difgufted him that, with fifteen of his companions, he left the Miffiffippi at Gibraltar, and performed the remainder of his journey by way of England. Commodore Long gave up the reft of the exiles to the authorities of the city of New York, in November, I 8 5 1. During the moil: of the next fire years he was in command of the fteam frigate Saranac, on fpecial fervice. He was firft · ordered to convey the Cheva­ lier de Sodre, the Brazilian reprefentative to our government, to the ports of the whole north coaft of Brazil, from Para to Rio Janeiro, and after­ wards to take the Hon. Carroll Spence and family ( our minifter) to Conftantinople. His laft command was the fquadron of the Paci.fie ftation, on the flag-fhip Merrimac, from which he returned in 18 59, an invalid, having fufFered an accident on his fhip, from the efFeB:s of which he never recovered. He was efteemed by all who knew him, as a gal­ lant and faithful officer, and the people of the Sandwich Iflands cherifh his memory with warm affection for the fervices he performed there. He was diftinguifhed as an officer, for energy, familiarity with Juties, Ninth Generation. 1 57 fidelity to his truil:s, and a high fenfe of profeffional integrity and honor. In the late war he had the fuccefs of the Union arms moil: deeply .at heart, though debarred by infirmity from active fervice. He was honored in Exeter for his exemplary private virtues, as well as for his famous acts performed during the fifty-three years of his naval fervice. He was unaffuming, generous, and poffeffed a high-bred politenefs, and fenfe of honor, which cannot be forgotten by thofe who had the pleafure of his acquaintance. 305. Joftph 'Faylor ( 428), born October 12, I 8 I 1 ; died April 4, I 862, at Exeter. He was married, October 2, I 8 50, to Mary E., daughter of Harrifon Gray, Efq., of Boil:on. She was born April 14, I 826, and now refides at Exeter. His early life offers nothing that is fpecially memorable. It was the happy, uneventful life of a New England country boy, none of whofe days are lifted into prominence by any achievements, or by the experi­ ence of any remarkable joy or forrow. But he was fortunate beyond the majority in his home and its affociations. His father's eftate was large, the houfe ample, and open with an unfparing hofpitality. The family connection embraced fome of the moil wealthy and diftinguifhed citizens of the ftate, while there was gathered in the village a rare com­ pany of men and women, of fo marked talent, cultivation, and refine­ ment, that their memory is frill precious, and their eulogy fpontaneous with the few that yet live to tell of them. So that, when a boy, Mr. Gilman faw in the fociety of Exeter, both native and tranfient, fome of the moft attractive men and women of New England, and not a few of the choicefi reprefentati ves of the old fchool. His inftinB:s were too fine, and his nature too fympathetic and plaftic not to fecure fomething from the treafures that lay in this equally unconfcious and unrecognized tuition. He was an active, energetic boy, fond of fports, and full of animal fpirits. He liked a practical joke, but was generous, kindly, and warm-hearted. At the Exeter Academy, which he entered in I 822, he maintained a fair rank as a fcholar, and was always a favorite with his companions, for his fincerity, noblenefs, and honor. The friendfhips formed at this time Gilman Genealogy. were prec10us to him all his life, and fafe againft the ftrain of difiance, and the wear of years. For a· few years after leaving the academy, he ferved as a clerk in his brother's H:ore, where he learned the elements of bufinefs, and at the fame time, many valuable leffons in the ftudy of character, which the large mifcellaneous trade, fupplying an extenfive farming region, afforded him. He was confcientious and faithful in his work, and added not a little to the wide popularity of the ftore by his patience, gentlemanlike manners, and uniform readinefs to pleafe the varied throng of cuftomers. In the year I 8 3 5, he failed for China in a vdfel commanded by an older brother Daniel. On the voyage he made the beft ufe of his time by doing what he could to prepare himfelf frill further for a merchant's life. Soon after arriving at Canton, he was taken into the employ of the mercantile houfe of Ruffell & Co. Thefe were days of trial and difcou­ ragement. He was alone with ftrangers, thrown upon his own refources, and modeft almoft to the extent of a morbid felf-diftruft. No fituation feemed to him too humble. When his faithfulnefs was recognized and rewarded by his employers, he afcribed his fucceffive promotions rather to their generofity than to their jufiice. He ferved in pofitions of con­ fta~tly increafing refponfibility until he became a partner in the houfe. Under thefe favorable circumftances, a Ihort time was fufficient to fatisfy his defire for comparatively moderate wealth, and he returned to his native town in I 846, having been away eleven years. During his abfence, however, he had kept up a conftant correfpondence with his own family and near relations, fo that he did not come back again as a il:ranger to the place of his birth. It was the home he had looked forward to return­ ing to during all his ftay abroad, and he was delighted to reach it. Neither the excitement and the gains of bufinefs, nor the multitudinous attractions of his eaftern life, had weaned him from it. Through the channels of that ftrange experience had been flowing, all the while, the cheriihed, unobtrufive current of unchanged early preferences, defires, and hopes. They had never been crowded from his heart by the fwell of any more brilliant dreams. He returned independent in fortune, but

N-inth Generat-ion. 1 59 as unoilentatious and modeft as when he went away a poor youth, to determine his own lot in life for himfelf. His aged father died foon after his return, and of the once large houfehold his mother alone remained. He came into poff"effion of the farm which had been dear to him when a boy, and eagerly fet to work to improve it, with the fame watchful fidelity that had marked his courfe in bufinefs. He loved the homeftead with a devoted, fervent paffion. He delighted to walk over its broad acres, and to grow familiar with its beauty at all hours, and under the fhifting influ­ ence of the weather, and the march of the feafons. He was proud of it, and he petted it. No pleafure was fweeter to him than to faunter through its mufical pine forefts, or over the funny meadows by the little winding river. He made vifits to choice [pots, to fingle trees of fpecial beauty, and to fields of grafs, or corn, with a fcrupulous regularity, as if, becaufe they gave him fo much fatisfaction, they had a fort of human demand upon his freguent recognition. Every charm of field, and wood, and growing crops, was magnified in his loving eyes. He faw more to admire in the taff"elled grafs, the wild flowers, and the autumn leaves he brought home from his walks, than in all the rareft exotics. Then, too, he loved the town with a deeper and ever increafing fondnefs. He faw it always with the pardonable prejudice of a partial affeB:ion. It was hard for him to realize that any other had, on the whole, fo many charms. He always left it with regret, and returned to it with renewed zeH:. All his journeys through the famous and frequented regions of New England, to the mountains, the watering-places, and the Connecticut valley, ferved but to endear to him ftill more the placid, not to fay, meagre, fcenery of his own neighborhood, which he never tired of ex­ ploring and revifiting. On his return from China Mr. Gilman miffed fome who had been dear, and many who had been familiar to him. Time had made fad havoc with his friends. But he was welcomed back with great and gratifying cordiality, and his own heartinefs, warmth, and undifguifed pleafure at being once more at home, drew acquaintances the clofer, and immediately won thofc who had never known him before. Very foon he came to be univerfally known and efteemed. In his inter­ courfe with all he was thoroughly, inftruB:ively and confcientioufly a 160 Gilman Genealogy. gentleman - courteous, fenfitive, con:fiderate. Although keen in his infight into character, he was lenient in his judgment of his fellows. Though he detected with the accuracy of inftinct the core of a man's nature, he rarely pr.efumed to pronounce upon him. Of complete integrity and tranfparent fimplicity himfelf, he hated fhow and pretenfion, but even thefe could draw from him fcarcely more than a patriotic regret, or fome quiet, humorous ridicule-never any bitter farca(m. He liked to fee the good fide of men. He was ready to apologize for their defects. His heart was full of fweetnefs. There was about him a clear, whole­ fome atmofphere, and in it no tarrying place for fufpicion, jealoufy, or meannefs. There was in him no felfifh exclufivenefs, but he met every­ body with a n10deft dignity, which kept its eafy poife of naturalnefs at all times and everywhere. It was fine to fee with what graceful fympathy he liflened to the poor ; ho"." dexteroufly he lifted away from the com­ mon laborer every barrier of embarraffment, fo that talk was eafy and comfortable for him ; with what a genial intereft he goffiped by the road­ fide with fome out-of-the-way farmer about his potatoes and corn, always, at firft, afking honeft queftions with the fincerity of a learner, but manag­ ing to let fall fome ufeful hints ; with what painftaking tendernefs he inquired for the fick child of a townfman, of whom he might know little but his prefent forrow, but whom his fellow-feeling transformed into a friend. So it was that his life was mellow with a daily beauty unappre­ ciated till it was loft, and threaded through and through with many a cord of ftrong attachment, uncounted till it fnapped. But with all his gentlenefs and fuavity of manner, Mr. Gilman held very firm opinions. Naturally flow in forming them, he was equally flow in furrendcring them. They were treafures won by patient reflection, and it was hard to wreft them from him. He paraded them as little as he did his other wealth, but they were none the lcfs carefully laid away. He was pcrfiil:ent with­ out a particle of dogmatifm. He was always ready to liften to the other fide, and welcomed any calm comparifon of views, but he fi1unned con­ trover(v, and followed the things that make for peace. Hi: ilill filencc, amid a ftorm of emphatic and aggrcilivc affcrtions, was fomctimes rnif­ taken for conviction and conc'.lrrence, but afterwards, alone with a friend, Ninth Generation. his cool, direct, and fteady thrufi: at fomc bold fophiftry, or the placid bubble of his flow, hefitating humor over fome rhetorical extravagance, revealed the fecurity of his unfhaken independence. With too real a modefi:y to allow himfelf to be prominent in public, he fhunned no duty of a citizen, and was quick to he]p in every good caufe. Charity never brought an appeal to him without finding her hands filled with his offer­ ings. He was only too glad to brighten life for the forlorn, and to fmooth it for the he]plefs. For a few years before his death he was pre­ vailed upon to ferve as treaforer of the Philips Exeter Academy, and as prefident of the Granite State Bank. To both of thefe infi:itntions he gave ·the befi: of his thought and care, and both felt the fu]l benefit of his tact, good judgment, cautious forefight, large views, and thorough integrity. to Of Mr. Gilman' s clofer relations it is fit favJ but a word. No filial regard could go beyond his for his mother. He cared for her entire comfort with a f weet, felf-facrificing devotion, which never flackened till her death. Her friends were his friends., and he recognized the bond in the cordial reverence, and many kind attentions which he fhowed them. To the relatives of his family he was uniformly generous and affectionate ; he made their happinefs his own, and when forrow and trial a{failed them, his fympathy, which words could not exprefs., found utterance in acts of tender thoughtfulnefs. He was married in I 8 50 to Mifs Mary E. Gray. In the ferenity of a home adorned with the graces of womanly refinement, hallowed by the heavenly influence of mutual truil: and affec­ tion, bright with the funfhine of a happy content, and cheerful with a frank and winning hofpitality, his nature bloomed into its fairefi: and moil: fragrant life.

How hard it was for him, in his early maturity, while the years might well feem freighted with the promife of a liberal joy, to furrender all ; how hard to fay good­ bye to thofc fo dearly loved, and fo dependent, the wife and children of his heart ; how hard to bear up againil: the long-drawn torture of infidi­ ous and perfifi:ent difca{e ; how hard to keep a brave, fweet confidence, V Gz"lman Genealogy. as he faw the true approach of death through the viil:a of_ incalculable pangs - of all the ftruggles with his own foul and for its better life - we can never know. Thefe fo]emn fecrets are forever hid. He died on the fourth of April, 1862. And when the heavy fhadows darkened that fair home, at the going out of his life, there fhot a kindred gloom through every houfehold of the town. Mrs. Gilman married again in June, 1867, Hon. Charles H. Bel1, fon of the late Governor, and United States Senator, Samuel Bel1, of Cheil:er, N. H. Mr. Charles H. Bell was born in the latter place. He was prepared for Dartmouth CoJlege, of which he is a graduate, at Philips Exeter Academy. After a courfe of ftudy, he was admitted to the bar of Rockingham county, and has fince had his home in Exeter. He has reprefented this town in the State Legifiature, and has been a State Sena­ tor. In thefe bodies he has been refpeB:ively Speaker and Prefident. He has always had a prominent pofition as a legal practitioner, though he is now retired from the active duties of his profeffion. Mr. Bell is a gentleman of literary taftes, and is now m11ch devoted to the cultivation and enjoyment of them. The family to which he belongs is one of the in.oft honorable and diftinguifhed in New England.

He died in that city March 5, 1867, after a long and difl:reffing illnefs. The following tribute appeared a few days after his death, in the Portland C hrijlian Mirror:

Though of a modeft, retiring habit, he wa::t ever forward and energetic in his devo­ tion to the young. His affecl:ionate, fympathizing heart found its higheft gratification in the duties of the Sunday fchool. For years he gave himfelf to this labor of love in the fchools of our city, or its million fields adjacent. Humanly [peaking, Mr. Gilman's life was fhortened by the great cahmity that blafted fo many hopes the laft fummer. This, added to previous fevere domeftic afflic­ tions, proved too much for his conftitution. His Chriftian equanimity, however, was in no wife difturbed. His faith could not be fhaken by lofs of friends or of property. He looked upon death, even from the firft intimation of its being the probable iifue of his ficknefs, with not only Chriftian compofure, but his wonted cheerfulnefs. Like Bunyan's Standfaft, even in the River of Death he could talk to his paftor, and com­ panions who accompanied him thither, with calmnefs and aifurance of the convoy that waited for him on the other fide; for his feet were fixed upon that on which the feet of the priefts that bore the Ark of the Covenant ftood, while Ifrael went over Jordan.

Howard to 2ccept a pofition on his fl:aff, and, accordingly he joined the general at Lookout Valley, near Chattanooga, in March of that year. The campaign which followed was very ac1ive, crowded with marches, furprifes, fkirmifhcs, and not a few ferious engage­ ments. General Sherman fl:ates in his report, that there were one hun­ dred fucceffive days of fighting, and the army was confl:antly under the Gilman Genealogy. enemy's fire. Mr. Gilman was involved in the hard fighting at Rocky Face, Buzzard's Roofl:, Refacca, Caffville, Dallas, and Adairfville, until finally he was attacked with fever, and obliged to return home.

The year of his graduation he ente:red the fervice of the United States as contract furgeon, and remained nearly two years in that capacity in South Caro­ lina. A portion of the time he was in charge of the hofpital at Beau­ fort, and for nearly a year he was accompanied by Mrs. Bundy.

He purfued his preparatory fl:udies at Phillips Academy, entered Brown Univerfity, and was graduated in 18 I 3. He began to ftudy law, but was foon induced to engage in mercantile purfuits in conneB:ion with his father, in Philadelphia. After 1825, he had bufinefs which led him to fpend much time in Terre Haute, Indiana, which called his attention to the grand future of the Weft. In 1831, he became a member of the firm of Godfrey, Gilman & Co., of Alton, Illinois, who were the pioneer merchants of that city, and erected, in I 832, the firfi: warehoufe there. Ninth Generation.

The fenior member of this firm, Benjamin Godfrey, was the founder of the extenfive female feminary at Monticello. After two years Mr. Gil­ man retired from the firm to his refidence at Monticello, where, for twenty-eight years he lived in the quiet that he fo much loved. His houfe was one of the .firft built in the town. He married Mifs Marv• E. Miles of Milford, Connecticut, in April, I 837, who furvives him. Mr. Gil- man's mother was one of the few perfons who took part in the formation of the firft Prefbyterian church of Alton. Benjamin Godfrey erected the church, and Mrs Gilman gave the bell which remained in the tower until th~ building was fold a few years ago. For thirty years Mr. Gil­ man was a ruling elder in the Prefbyterian church at Monticello, and to the end of his days a teacher of the Bible in the Sunday fchool. His life was filled with deeds of modeft charity, and was pervaded with the fpirit of an educated Chriftian man. He was a director in the Illinois Mu­ tual Fire Infurance Company, and in an obituary pamphlet, printed by his fellow citizens, they fay, cc we cordial1y affent to the truthfulnefs of the difcourfe upon the life and character of Mr. Gilman, delivered by his paftor," who faid, "when the iron tongue of this church bell folemnly proclaimed the departure from this life of Benjamin Ives Gilman, how many faid - A good man has gone. He was of a moft aimiable difpofi­ tion, of kindly feelings, of generous impulfes, lifted up by grace and Chriftian culture from the low level of fel.fifh aims and purpofes, into the warm and radiant fphere of benevolent activity. His goodnefs never fought the great occafion or the confpicuous piace, but Rowed out fpon­ taneoufly through all the avenues of life.

His early education was recciv.cd at Phillips Academy, Andover, and at Harvard Univerfity. He was .graduated at the Univerfity of Penn­ fylvania in 1824, the medical. departt11ent of which he entered under the aufpices of the eminent Dr. Jofeph Parrifh, whofe character, both per­ fonal and profeffional, made a lafting impreffion on the mind of his pupil. On commencing the practice of his profeilion, Dr. Gilman removed to New York city, and married Serena, daughter of the then well known merchant, Martin Hoffman, Sr., November 3, I 825. The trials and pri­ vations of the young man who, while ftruggling upward in his profeffion, has no refources but the fcanty means afforded by it, were endured to their utmoft by Dr. Gilman, and the bitternefs of thofe early days was never forgotten, but brought forth precious fruit in the intenfely painful fympathy which he ever after felt for thofe enduring fimilar trials. The years of ftruggle and anxiety paffed away, however, each bearing. with it a portion of the burden of care, and bringing a fteadily increafing hold on the profeffion and the public. About this time he was offered a profeffor's chair _in the U niverfity of Chatlottefburg, Va., but the offer, though a tempting one, was declined ; mainly becaufe he felt that nothing ought to induce him to bring up his children amid the evil influences of ~ /0c

During the year 1835 Dr. Gilman's health became ferioufiy impaired by a fevere and protracted attack of neuralgic rheumatifm, which greatly proftrated him. In the hope of reinvigorating his enfeebled conftitution, he vifited, in company with his brother-in-law, Martin Hoffman, the pictured rocks of Lake Superior. This entire change of fcene and occu­ pation was of very great fervice, and he returned home, after a few months of hardfhips and expofure, in perfect health. The letters written during his abfence in this then unfrequented region, rarely vifited by any but the Indian trader, were publifhed on his return in a volume entitled Life on the Lakes; he alfo publifhed a volume of tales, Legends of a Log Cabin, and affifted his relath·e, Charles Fenno Hoffman, in editing the American Monthly Magazine, thus eking out, by his pen, the fcanty profeffional income which was to meet the wants of an increafing family. In November, 1840, he was elected Profeffor of Obftetrics and the Difeafes of Women and Children, in the College of Phyficians and Surgeons, New York, and all feemed to promife a bright and cloudlefs future ; but the trials already paft were felt to be as nothing wlien, in the winter of I 841-42, he was bereaved cf two children and of the wife whofe tendernefs and devotion had cheered the gloomieft hours of his life. Mrs. Gilman was born February 28, I 803, and died February 28, 1 842. Friends trembled for his reafon under the fhock of this calamity, but he was nerved to endurance by the thought of his children, to whom he now ftrove to fupply, in fome degree, a mother's watchful love and care. Only thofe who witneffed it can tell how he gave himfelf to this taik, how feduloufiy he ftrove to direct their taftes toward his own favorite intellectual purfuits, and how his leifure hours were devoted to their amufement, and fmiles were firft won back to his faddened face over the merry games invented and £hared by him, and made delightful by his ready wit. Dr. Gilman married, September 19, I 844, Mifs Hannah Hawkhurft Marfhall, born February 9, 1822, daughter of Capt. David Marlhall of w Gilman Genealogy.

New York, and the next eighteen years were paffed in health and com­ fort, marred by one fore trial, the death of a favorite fon, in 18 57. Fond of all facial enjoyment, he particularly delighted in welcoming to his own table thofe whofe intellect, cultivation or native intelligence made them congenial affociates. On fuch occa:fions his converfational talent difplayed itfelf in a remarkable degree, not only by what he him­ felf faid, but by the happy art which he poffeffed of drawing out the views of others on the fubject: on which they were beft fitted to converfe. His great love of reading, however, beguiled moft of his 1eifure hours, until the know ledge of how much the members of his profeffion abroad were learning from microfcopic inveftigation, and the arrival of M. Agaffiz- in America, in 1847, turned his attention to the ftudy of zoology and kindred fciences, as illuftrated by the microfcope. To this he gave himfelf with characteriftic energy, fending to Paris for one of Chevalier's inihuments (one of the earlieft imported), to which he devoted himfelf until familiar with the fubject. The brilliant fuccefs achieved foon after by the glaff'es of Spencer, was a fource of much interefF and patriotic pride to Dr. Gilman, who prepared an account for the American Journal of Science and Arts, and he foon abandoned his Chevalier for a microfcope of American manufacture, giving the preference, .finally, to thofe made by Grunow, of New York. Finding his ignorance of German a ferious obftacle to his progrefs in fcientific refearch, he began the ftudy of that language, and in two weeks had maf­ tered it fufficiently to enable him to read the works of fuch writers as Bifchoff, one of whofe monographs on Generation he tranflated, with the a.ffifiance of Dr. Theo. Te11kampf. A common intereft in fcientific purfuits was the ba:fis of feveral friend­ fhips formed by Dr.' Gilman at this time, among them none more ihong and tender than that with Prof. J. W. Bailey of Weft Point, then con­ feffedly at the head of American microfcopifts - diffimilar, and yet con­ genial, each feemed to contribute what the other lacked, to form the perfection of friendly intercourfe, and the tie was only fevered by the death of Prof. Bailey, in March, 18 5 7. Another very intimate affociate w;:is Dr. Wm. F. Ellet, the well- known Ninth Generation. chemift, whofe keen, facile intelligence, and boundlefs ftore of informa­ tion and anecdote, together with his unfailing kindnefs of heart, made him an ever welcome vifitor for many years, and, as the fbadows dark­ ened around the clofing life of his friend, it was the privilege of Dr. Gilman to fupport and cheer the troubled fpirit with the words of Chrift­ ian counfel and faith in One mighty to fave, which gave it peace at the laft. The attractions of fcienti.fic ftudy, intellectual purfuits, and facial inter­ courfe, were fo keenly felt by Dr. Gilman, that there were moments, efpecially in his declining years, when the routine of his profeffion became irkfome to him, and he wearied of the inevitable demands upon his time. This was not the cafe, however, as to the college and his duties there ; of thefe he never tired, devoting conftant thought and energy to increafing the ufefulnefs and profperity of the inftitution ; indeed, his failing health brought with it no keener pang than that caufed by the neceffity of refigning the chair he had filled fo many years. On firft becoming profeffor, he wrote out a courfo of lectures, but 1n after years merely ufed notes, and fpoke extemporaneoufly. As a lecturer he was exceedingly popular, and as a teacher very fuccefsful; his great aim being not only to imprefs upon the minds of his pupils the right courfe to purfue, but to make them underftand the reafon why it was the right courfe. No means were neglected to fix the attention of his hearers; anecdote, illuftration, argument, were all preffed into the fervice, and if, at times, his irrefiftible love of humor betrayed him into a fally which pro­ voked the clafs to too uproarious mirth, a ftinging farcafm was fore to fo1low and reftore order. The moral tone of his lectures was exceedingly high. He ever uttered fuch maxims as, that a man was not to be called fuccefsful merely becaufe he made money, that a lie in the profeffion was as bad as a lie out of it, that his hearers would fave themfelves much anxiety if they would fimply do their duty, and leave refults with God, to whom they belong. Many fuch paffages will recur to the memories of thofc who liilened to his lectures ; one which occurs in one of the laH:, and, perhaps, the ableil: of his introdutlory addreffes, delivered Otlober 20, 18 5 6, On the Relations Gilman Genealogy. of the Medical to the Legal Profejfion, is worthy of extracl:ion as a fpeci­ men of his rich and felicitous ftyle, as well as from its lofty fentiment. "' On this tablet are engraven the brief hifl:ories of fome who have gone before you, and who, after fhort fervice, have been enrolled among thofe whofe names fcience and humanity will never allow to die. This tablet* tells you, and thofe who come after you, that when pefiilence was rife in our hofpitals-when in thofe wards, devoted to public health, death held high feftival, feleB:ing his daily victims at his will- when to minifier to the affiiB:ed and dying was almofl: certainly to fhare their fate,

IN THE PERFORMANCE OF PROFESSIONAL DUTY. Ninth Generation. thefe graduates of the College of Phyficians and Surgeons were ready to labor night and day in· the caufe of fuffering humanity; and as often as one of the number- called to his reil:- left a place vacant, a fcore of candidates fprang forward, ready and anxious to fill that place of danger and death; and this continued until fourteen young phyficians had, by an early death, earned a place among the martyrs of humanity. Such is the proud ornament of our hall, and fuch the ftory it tells of thofe who have here been trained to fomething higher than medical fcience - fome­ thing nobler than profeffional !kill. To the pricelefs heritage of this good example we make you welcome. It is yours ; follow it ; and may your profeffional career be, for your own fakes, as bright and as honorable as theirs! and, for the fake of your country and friends, may it be longer and happier! " When the death of Prof. John B. Beck, in I 851, left vacant the chair of Medical Jurifprudence in the college, a fhort courfe on that fubjecl: was added to the other duties of Prof. Gilman. For fome years he had been a favorite witnefs in cafes where a medical expert was required, having a peculiarly happy faculty of giving evidence clearly and to the point. In the words of his lifelong friend, Dr. W. C. Roberts: * '' In few legal cafes of intereft to the community, relating either to infanity or the obiletric art, was he not confulted by the ableft members of the bar ; in many he appeared publicly as a witnefs, and here he greatly diftin­ guifhed himfelf. The qualities of his mind, quick and logical, his clear­ nefs of perception, accurate knowledge, and fearleffnefs of temperament, his natural dignity and good humor, rendered him a model witnefs. He had the happy faculty of faying juft what he knew, juft what he meant, and neither lefs nor more than was required. He could not be badgered or intimidated, faw through and eafily avoided the legal mefhes laid to enfoare him, and parried and returned with intereft the thrufts that were aimed at him, often difconcerting his interrogator. His bearing on the ftand was dignified and ceremonioufly polite, his replies clear, precife, and

On one occafion the oppofite council attempted to deftroy the effeB: of Dr. Gilman's evidence, by quoting againft him certain medical writers, with the queftion: '' Are not thefe ftandard works on this fubjecl:?" "They are good works, certainly, Mr. B . ., but are rather old." "In our profeffion,'' perfifted the lawyer, " the old books are the heft books." " True, fir,'' replied Dr. Gilman, '' the law is not a progreffive fcience." The late diftinguifhed Ogden Hoffman, of the New York bar, delighted to meet Dr. Gilman as a witnefs, and the keen encounter of their wits was a fource of much enjoyment to all prefent. This warfare of words., however, never for a moment interrupted their life-long friendfhip, and in the addrefs already mentioned;, On the Relations of the Medical to the Legal Proftjfion, Dr. Gilman paid this eloquent tribute to the memory of his then recently departed friend : "It is doubtlefs true that we of the medical profeffion have among the members of the bar many highly valued friends, for whom we cherifh the warmeft feelings of regard ; and we fhould be blind and fenfelefs indeed, did we fail to appreciate thofe brilliant qualities by which many of them adorn their profeffion. But yefterday fuch an one was here among us - the pride and glory of the bar of New York- the unrivaled advocate, on whofe eloquent lips entranced thoufands hung, borne aloft at his will on the wings of his brilliant fancy., or faft bound in the chain of his clear, convincing logic. Many of us knew him in private life, and delighted in his genial humor, his playful wit., his kindly temper, his warm, benevolent heart. Such was the Hon. Ogden Hoffman, as, a few brief days ago, he moved among us in the full perfection of his manhood, the ripe maturity .. of his intell ea.'' In the courfe of his ftudies on the fubjecl: of medical jurifprudence, Dr. Gilman's mind was much impreffed by the unfatisfaB:ory ftate of the law in reference to infane perfons charged with crime, and punifhed, when, to ufe his own definition of infanity, '' the freedom of the will had become impaired by difeafe of the brain." The cafes of Patrick Maude and Thomas Neary, hanged for murder, although believed to be infane Ninth Generation.

( the former having efcaped from a mad-houfe but a very fhort time be­ fore the commiffion of his fo-called crime), were fubjeB:s of deep inte­ reft to Dr. Gilman, who fpared no efforts to obtain a remiffion of their fentence. Another cafe, that of Chas. B. Huntingdon, was thought by him to be an inftance of that form of infanity, which, in his own words, is a "difeafe of the brain, the chief fymptom of which is an irrefiftible im­ pulfe to c~mmit crime." The fact of the exiftence of fuch a difeafe, although perfectly familiar to thofe who have made infanity a fpecial ftudy, was comparatively unknown to the general public, and, to diffemi­ nate information on the fubject, Dr. Gilman wrote, as an appendix to the report of the trial of Huntingdon, a fimple but forcible argument as to the exiftence of the difeafe, citing and defcribing a number of cafes; in fome of which it refulted from injury, and in others obvioufly de­ pended on phyfical difeafe ; alfo iliowing that it has been cured by reme­ dial meafures addreffed co phyfical difeafe. His courfe in reference to this fubjeB:, although loudly animadverted upon in fome quarters, was generally commended by the members of his own profeffion and others who had ftudied the queftion with care, and he received, among others, a letter from Hon. W. H. Seward, thanking him for " the boldnefs with which he was accuftomed to attack error intrenched in prejudice." The profeilional opinion of Dr. Gilman was anxioufiy fought and highly valued in obfcure or difficult cafes of difeafe, his brethren well knowing that they were never given without patient inveftigation and pro• found thought. Ever willing to confefs that a fubject puzzled him, he was moft unwilling to be baflled by it, and neglected no means of arriving at a juft and wife conclufion. He performed many important operations in his fpecial branch of the profeffion with fk.ill and fuccefs ; frill he was eminent rather than popular as a practitioner ; for although fj,mpathizing keenly with real fuffering and diftrefs, he had but little tolerance for fan­ cied or exaggerated ailments. His well known careleffnefs in drefs and manner were alfo unfavorable to very general popularity ; indeed, his difregard of the conventional ufages of fociety was, perhaps, his greateft Gilman Genealogy. foible ; but it is only juft to fay; in this connection, that he was ever carefully courteous to thofe, who, from no fault of their own, had fallen below the worldly pofition to which birth or education entitled them - his wealthy patients never faw the deferential manner he affumed toward the care-worn wife of the haraffed clerk or half-paid clergyman. Con­ fcious of this, he one day jeftingly faid, "You fhould have feen me take off my glove to-day to iliake hands with poor Mrs. B. I flatter myfelf I never neglecl thofe little attentions - I mean, to fuch people.'' The qualities which interfer~d with Dr. Gilman's very general popu­ larity as a practitioner, did not prevent his acquiring among hts patients many dear friends, to whom his vifits were part of the funfhine of the day. His converfational powers were of a high order, not only from the quicknefs and force of his intellect:, but from his flow of fparkling pleafantry and keennefs o( repartee and farcafm. Like moil: people who talk well, he talked much, enjoying queftions of cafuiftry, hiftorical or literary difcuffions, analyfis of character, &c., but equally defirous of "keeping up the ball of converfation,'' to ufe his own words, whether the fubjeB: was of a fober and thoughtful caft, or the brilliant nonfenfe in which, at times, he reveled. A good jeft was always highly prized by him - equally enjoyed, whether the witticifm was his own or one made at his expenfe, and repeated to all appreciative auditors whom he chanced to meet in his daily rounds. The effect of thefe colloquial gifts was much enhanced by his aptitude of quotation and his great and varied ftore of information, particularly in the department of hiftory, a ftudy to which he was exceedingly partial. Although a clofe ftudent, his nature was fo peculiarly facial that even when moft engaged in fcientific inveftigation, hiil:orical ftudy, or literary compofition, he was beft pleafed to have wife or daughter fitting by, to whom he could occafionally communicate a fact which interefted him, read a ihiking pa{fage, or difcufs a doubtful fentence. The fame peculi­ arity made it impoffible for him to enjoy any public amufemcnt without fome companion, although paffionately fond of mufical or dramatic enter­ tainments. Mufic, indeed, was a never failing fourcc of pleafure, and formed, next to books, his choicefl: relaxation. Himfelf a charming Ninth Generation. 177 finger in early life, he ever delighted to airemble at his houfe thofe who excelled as vocal or inftrumental performers, efpecially gratified if they recalled the ft rains affociated with the paft, in facred mufic, particularly, of which he too could fay,

" Old tunes are precious to me as old paths In which I wandered when a happy boy. In truth they are the old paths of the foul Oft trod, well worn, familiar, up to God."

In I 863, the health of Dr. Gilman, which had for fome time been impaired by difeafe of the heart and kidneys, feemed about to fail ; a diftreffing feature of his cafe being attacks of difficulty of breathing, fo fevere, at times, as to make one feel that each moment might be the laft. A quiet fummer, paired amid the beautiful hills near Pompton, N. J., gave him ftrength for the exertions of the winter, but the improvement was only temporary, and although the ordinary duties of his practice and profeirorfhip were fulfilled as heretofore, it was with daily increafing effort, until, when fpring came, his phyficians, who were a]fo near and dear friends, advifed a permanent removal from New York, as the only courfe remaining. In May, I 864, Dr. Gilman left the city where forty years of profeffional life had been paired, for a quiet home in Middle­ town, Connecticut. The change was imperative, as his enfeebled frame, wearied by the duties of his profeffion and worn by years of ill health, feemed fcarcely able to bear the journey thither. But, once withdrawn from the care and buftle of city life ; the pure air, the refrefhing calm, and the tranquil pleafures of the country, achieved more than the moil: fanguine deemed poffible ; the fhattered frame regained much of its vigor, the drooping fpirits revived, and thofe who had defpaired, learned to hope, nay, to believe, that although the day of labor was over, a peaceful twilight would cheer us before the night fell. Alas, vain hope ! In an hour that we knew not, the filent fummons came, and he was gone. The evening of the 26th of September, 1865, was fpent by Dr. Gil­ man in the family circle ; a keener enjoyment being added by the pre­ X Gilman Genealogy. fence of his old and valuable friend and colleague, Prof. Willard Parker of New York. The hour for reft came, and the houfehold was almoft huihed, when {he who had watched and foothed him through fo many fleeplefs and fuffering nights, was furprifed by the fuddennefs with which he feemed to · fall afleep, was ftartled by the ceffation of his breathing, and found, as the dim terror took fhape and turned to life-long anguiih, that he would awake no more. He had, for many years, expreffed the wiih, that, when life was over, he fhould be quietly interred in the country ; having an almoft morbid diflike of a more public funeral. In obedience to this wiih., though much to the difappointment of his old affociates and friends in New York, he was laid in the beautiful cemetery at Middletown. The character of Dr. Gilman was one difficult to underftand ; princi­ pally, I think, from its peculiarity of many-jidednefi. He was a flriking example of that fenfitive temperament which, without lofing its own identity, is frill fo affected by contac.1: with others as to feem almoft a different being amid different affociations, and one might know him for years and yet fail to obtaiIJ a glimpse of characteriftics which fprang into light at o~ce, on intercourfe with others. And here, it feems to me, there was a il:riking analogy between the inner and outer man-the large, ftrongly-marked features and iron jaw, being combined with eyes that were fuffufed and lips th~t trembled at every touch of fofter feeling, and an ever varying expreffion which gave conftant light and ihade to his face, making it one which, like Chriftopher North's, "fuould be painted in a feries." Perhaps the only impreffion he uniformly made on a new acquaintance, was that of mental ability, juft as his maffive brow and intellectual head marked him to the eye, whether the expreffion of his face was grave or animated, farcaftic ~r gentle, as one of more than ordinary mental force ; and fuch, indeed, he was - a man ftrong in intellect, will and affections - il:rong alfo in his prejudices and difiikes. His powerful mind, grafping readily what others comprehended but feebly, made him impatient of their weaknefs ; his keen fenfo of hono.r and fearlefs adherence to prin- Ninth Generation. 179 ciple, made him hold in utter fcorn all meannefs, hypocrify, and coward­ ice., and if, at times, he expreffed himfelf too forcibly in his denuncia­ tion of fuch qualities., none could wonder who knew him how utterly they were repugnant to his own nature, which embodied the words of the poet: "Of no man's prefence Ifaac felt afraid; At no man's queftion Ifaac ftood difmayed : Shame knew him not."

It is to be regretted that with all his ability as a writer., Dr. Gilman contributed fo little to medical literature. Befides the literary labors of his early life, already alluded to, there were a few introductory addreffes., fome contributions to medical magazines and Appleton's Cycloptedia, fonte eloquent obituary notices and memoirs, among them, that publifhed in the New York Journal of Medicine, of his colleague, Dr. Beck, un­ rivalled for its analyfis of character, its beauty and pathos ; the pamphlets on legal queftions already quoted, and a report on obftetric fcience, read before the American Medical Affociation, which met in Bofton in 1849. Thefe., and fimilar articles, are all that is left to 1how what might have been done had time and inclination ferved ; but, when urged by any medical friend to write out his lectures in the form of a work on obftetrics, he would quote, with a 1hrug, "Oh, that mine enemy would write a book ? " His unwillingnefs for prolonged literary exertion, however, did not prevent perhaps the moft laborious of his literary undertakings - the arrangement, revifion and publication of the manufcript notes of the lec­ tures of Dr. J. B. Beck, on Materia Medica, and a]fo his fuperintendence of the two later editions of Beck's Medical Jurifprudence. He never entirely relinqui1hed the idea of a work on Obftetrics, but had promifed it to himfelf as the occupation of the years of leifure which might lie be­ fore him. It is now delightful to think, that guided from infancy by the counfels of Chriftian parents, and fhielded by their prayers, Dr. Gilman made in early manhood a public profeffion of faith in Chrift, and, as far as human infirmity would allow, clung to that faith with confiftent and unwavering firmnefs. 180 Gilman Genealogy.

In the words of the Rev. Dr. Seabury, alike friend and paftor for twenty-five years: '' Among his many excellent traits, the one which moft impreff'ed me, was his fenfe of rectitude and juftice, and his profound reverence for God and the realities of an unfeen world. He was not only a confcientious man in the common fenfe of the word, but he was one who fpared no pains to have his confcience enlightened and well informed. No man is more forward to confult his phyfician in regard to his bodily health, than was he to folicit paftoral counfel on every moral or religious queftion growing out of the perplexing concerns of profef­ fional or facial life, nor was any man more ready to give their due weight to the opinions and counfels he received. And not only did he apply his underftanding to obtain the heft rules and maxims he could for the direc­ tions of his confcience and the difcharge of his duty, but he was alfo a man of very deep and fl:rong religious feeling. There was, indeed, that in his manner at times, which might give fuperficial obfervers a different impreffion, but they who knew him well know that he had in an eminent degree a profound and reverent appreciation of the truths and myfteries of the Chriftian religion." Such was the eftimate of one who knew him well-fuch the fpirit which infufed into his life its deepeft harmonies. As we think of the pleafant years that have paired in his company, and the weary days that may lie before us, we are tempted to falter and wifh that we might fhare his reft. But on our memories comes the echo of his voice, as tremulous with earneftnefs, it repeated :

" Yet I argue not Againft heaven's hand or will, or bate a jot Of heart or hope, but ftill bear up and fteer Right onward." And reanimated by the noble lines he loved, may each of us take up the burden of duty again, and prefs manfully Onward - onward and Upward to the End.*

At the time of his death he was one of the oldefi: clergymen of the new fchool branch of the Prefbyterian church in the ftate of his adoption. During his long ario ufeful life he was highly efteemed by a large circle, and his lofs was deeply mourned.

P. Lovejoy, editor of a religious newfpaper called 'The Alton Objerver, was violently perfecuted, and his printing prefs was deftroyed. A new prefs was procured by his friends, and, on its arrival, Mr. Gilman, though not a member of the abolition fociety, opened his warehoufe, and received it on ftorage. An enraged and armed mob determined to deftroy the prefs. Under the authority of the Mayor of the city, a number of citizens affembled in the building to defend the prefs, among whom was Mr. Gilman. On the night of November 7th, 1837, the celebrated Lovejoy Riot occurred, which refulted in the killing of Mr. Lovejoy, the wounding of others, the firing of the building and the deftruc.l:ion of the prefs. The commercial interefts of Alton were proftrated by thefe events, caufing the removal of Mr. Gil­ man to St. Louis in 1 8 4 3, where he was very fuccefsful in his bufinefs affairs. In 1849 he removed to the city of New York, which place he had left juft twenty years before, where he has for many years been engaged in the bufinefs of banking.

His modefty was deep-rooted and unfeigned. He was a lover of the folid virtues, and a ftickler for the fterner morality. His honefty was of fuch a nature as to conftrain him to exercife it in the minuteft detail of his dealings. On two occafions he had remarkable opportunity for the development of his rare bufinefs fidelity.

OF EAST UNITY, N. H.

TEPHEN GILMAN, a cavalry officer of the Revolutionary War, was twice married, and had twenty-one children. He died about 18 30, and his fecond wife about 18 50. His family is the 1argeft in numbers that has come to the writer's knowledge among all the Gilmans. They lived in Weft Unity, New Hampfhire, where the name is borne by one of the little lakes of the locality. Stephen had a fon Emerfon, who lived in Unity until 1837, when he removed to Lowell, Maffachufetts, and to Milford, N. H. After refiding from 1844 to 1854 in Nafhua, N. H., he removed to Groton Centre, Mafs., where he died in October of the latter year. Emerfon Gilman had fons Virgil C ., and Horace W., who now live in Nafhua, N. H., and are engaged in manufactures. Virgil C. Gilman gives fome attention alfo to agriculture, and is one of the truftees of the New England Agricultural Society. In 1865 he was eleB:ed by the Republican party, Mayor of Nafhua, and he is at prefent a member of the Board of Education of that city. Dartmouth College owes to the liberality of Mr. Gilman, the Gilman Scholarjbip, eftablifhed for the affiftance of indigent ftudents in that inftitution. Efforts to trace the pedigree of this large branch of the family have thus far proved unfuccefsful. COLONEL GILMAN, U.S. A.

LLIS JAMES GILMAN, who refides at 14 Boltons, S. W., London, is a wealthy merchant, engaged in trade with China and India, and has given much encouragement to this work, though unable to trace his connection to this branch of the family. Speaking of this inveftigation he wrote : c, I honor and admire the ftudy, becaufe I like to go back to the great paft, to think of it, and live in it. I fhould like, if it were poffible, to become acquainted with my anceftors, and learn fomething good of them. This you certainly can do, becaufe your anceftors muft have left home, and kith and kin, and all that makes life happy, for confcience' fake, and nothing can be finer and more fublime." Mr. Gilman has twelve child­ ren living, out of a family of thirteen.

LINE AGE.

HE Gillmans of Ireland are ftated, in an old family tradition, to be defcended from a Chriftian knight of that name, who during the Crufades was engaged in fingle combat with a Saracen, whofe right leg he cut off with a fabre cut. This capture is commemorated in the coat of arms; and the creft, a griffin's head with a bear's paw in its mouth, being emblematic of ftrength, to­ gether with the motto, Not by word, but by deed, tend to confirm the legend. The .firft who fettled in Ireland, were two officers in King William's army, 1690, one of whom furvived, and received a grant of land. It is conjectured that they had previoufly come to England from Normandy in France. ARMS. .Az. a dexter leg cut off above the knee, ar.
