William Russell, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England in 1605. according to his own deposition made in 1661, He settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, about 1636, and died there February 14, 1661-2. He was a carpenter by trade. It is likely that he was related to John Russell, a pioneer at Cambridge, and to Richard Russell, one of the first settlers at Charlestown. but the connection is not known. He resided in West Cambridge or Menotomy, and received a grant of sixty acres on the north side of the road to Lexington. He was a member of the Cambridge church. His widow Martha married second, March 24, 1665, Humphrey Bradshaw, and she married third. May 24, 1683, Thomas Hall. She signed a deed of the Billerica property of Russell after her second marriage. She died about 1694. Children:1. Joseph, mentioned below. 2. Benjamin. 3. Phebe, died July 8, 1642. 4. John, born September 11. 1645. 5. Martha. 6.

WILLIAM RUSSELL came from England between 1636 and 1645. At the latter date he was at Cambridge,
Mass., where he and his wife Martha were members of the church. He had brought with him his wife and son Joseph, who was born 1636. Like many of the early^settlers Mr. Russell did not at once fix on a permanent abiding place. He died at Cambridge, Feb, 14, 1662 having made his will 12 days before. His widow, Martha, m. 2nd March 24, 1665, Humphrey Bradshaw, and 3d, May 24, 1683, Thomas Hall. She died about 1694. It is possible that the second child was born in England, but the others were probably born in Cambridge where they were baptized.

Children, b. Cambridge, Mass., except first two:
2. I. Joseph, b. England 1636, ?. June 23, 1662, Mary Belcher.
3. II. Phebe, died July 8, 1642.

Somewhere about the year 1640, when John Milton was engaged in thinking out and writing down the first drafts of his "Areopagitica" or his "Penserosa," and when a copy of Shakespeare's "First Folio" might have been secured for a pound or so in the second hand bookshops of that city, William and Martha Russell, with their son, Joseph, set sail for America, probably from the port of Ipswich on the east coast. Mr. Russell was a "house- wright" or carpenter, and is known to have been England in 1636 and to have been in Cambridge in Massachusetts in 1645. He appears to have resided first at Menotomy (Arlington) in Massachusetts. At a later date he is found at Cambridge where he and his wife were members of the Church. It is believed that the family came from Ipswich, though this is not certain, and while relationship
to the celebrated Richard Russell line of Charlestown, or to the John Russell line of Woburn, is not clear, some connection is suggested by similarity of first names in the lines.

Like many of the early arrivals, Mr. Russell did not at once fix upon a permanent abiding place, but he is usually spoken of as "of Cambridge," and there died on February 14, 1662, having made a willtwelve days before. His widow, Martha, married, second, May 24, 1665, Humphrey Bradshaw, and, third, May 24, 1683, Thomas Hall. She died in 1694. The children of William and Martha Russell, all born in Cambridge except the first two, follow:

1125 Sailed from Liverpool, England with their six children and John's brother Arthur Scholfield on March 24, 1793 for Boston, MA. They were the two oldest sons of Arthur Sr. of Standish Foot in Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England. (Arthur Sr. was a successful spectacle-maker in England. He had 7 sons, 3 of whom came to America; the youngest Issac, following Arthur and John several years later, and becoming a successful merchant in Boston, MA.)

John and Arthur spent about a year in Charleston, MA making preperations for constructing machinery for the manufacturing of woolen cloth. They were introduced to Mr. Jedediah Morse, author of "Morse's Geography and Gazetteer", as woolen makers of good skill. Mr. Morse introduced them to a wealthy family of Newburyport, who availed themselves of the opportunity, and put up a factory in Byfield, near Newburyport, and gave the supervision of the factory to Arthur and John Scholfield, who, at this factory, constructed and put into operation the first woolcarding machine successfully operated in this country. It was operated by hand. The business prospered, and the owners, as well as operators, were well satisfied with their investment of money and time. John was employed as Agent, and traveled about in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Messrs. John and Arthur Scholfield pioneered woolen manufacturing in the United States.

They sold out their Massachusetts interests in 1798, and moved to Montville, CT where they started a factory for carding roll and manufacturing cloth. The business was on an outlet of the Oxboro Stream, and was run with success until the water-right privilege expired in 1812.

Arthur Scholfield left for Pittsfield, MA C. 1802-03 where he settled and produced the first piece of broad-cloth in the United States. After the brothers seperated, John Scholfield purchased a privilege in Stonington, CT and another in Montville, CT where he lived until his death, February 28, 1820 (age 62 years). His wife, Hannah (Fox) Scholfield, died at Waterford, CT March 29, 1845 (age 82).

Joseph Arthur Scholfield's parents, Joseph and Mercy (Newberry) Scholfield first settled Stonington, CT where their children were born. He first set up in woolen manufacturing. About 1834 they moved to Montville. There Joseph and Joseph Arthur carried on the Montville, CT business, until Joseph Arthur and wid Eunice C. (Vibber) Scholfield's removal of business and living to Westerly, RI about 1850.

On the 24th day of March, 1793, John Scholfield, with his family, consisting of his wife Hannah and six children,
and his brother Arthur, sons of Arthur Scholfield, who lived nt Standish Foot in Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England, sailed from Liverpool for the United States. They arrived in Boston in May following,and took up their residence in Charlestown, Mass., near Bunker Hill, at which place they remained until August following, making preparation and constructing machinery for the manufacture of woolen cloth.

Having been introduced to Mr. Jedediah Morse, author of " Morse's Geography and Gazetteer," as woolen manufacturers and well skilled in the most improved mode of manufacture in England, they were by him introduced to some persons of wealth in Newburyport, who availed themselves of the opportunity offered, and immediately put up a factory at Byfield, in the vicinity of Newburyport, under the supervision of John and Arthur Scholfield. At this factory, the Seholfield brothers constructed and put in operation the first wool-carding machine that was successfully operated in this country. This machine was first operated by hand. When all the machinery necessary for making woolen cloth was completed, it was put to practical use, and John Scholfield was employed as agent. The business was prosperous, and the owners were well looked forward with a good prospect of success. Other persons had, previous to this time, attempted to operate woolen machinery, but had failed, owing to tho imperfect construction of the machinery. Mr. John and Arthur Scholfield have tho honor of being the pioneers in woolen manufacture in tho United States.

After remaining at Byfield about five years, John and Arthur, having made their business a success, and become acquainted with the surrounding country by excursions into Rhode Island and Connecticut,to purchase wool and to introduce their cloth, concluded to remove to some other place. Mr. John Scholfield on one of his excursions into Connecticut became acquainted with a valuable water privilegein Montville, near the outlet of the Oxoboxo stream. This privilege he leased of the owner for the term of fourteen years. The two brothers, John and Arthur Scholfield, sold out their interest in Massachusetts in 1798, and removed to Montville, where they started a factory for carding rolls and manufacturing cloth. The business was successfully carried on with a yearly inerease until the termination of their lease in 1812.

Arthur Scholfield left Montville in 1802 or 1803 and settled in Pittsfield, Mass., where in 1804 he produced the first piece of broadcloth made in this country. John Scholfield afterwards purchased a privilege at Stonington, and another at Montville. To the latter place be removed in 1814. Here he remained until his death, the 28 day of "Feb., 1820, aged 62 years. His wife survived him, and diedat Waterford, the 29th day of March, 1845, aged 82 years.

Arthur Scholfield, Sr., was a spectacle maker in England, where he died about 1810, aged 80 years. He had seven sons, viz.: Arthur, John, Joseph, James, Benjamin, Abraham and Isaac. Isaac, the youngest son of Arthur Scholfield, came to this country several years after the oldest brothers and settled at Boston, Mass., where he was engaged as a successful merchant. His children were Arthur, Isaac, Joseph, Charles, Adeline, Anna, and Ellen.

1133 The ancient family of Shepardson is descended from Daniel Shepardson, who is the only immigrant of that name mentioned by Savage in his account of the early families of New England. As he settled in New England before 1650 he is entitled to be called a pioneer.

(I) Daniel Shepardson, who may have come from Yorkshire, England, landed at Salem. Massachusetts, in the year 1629. He moved with other immigrants to Charlestown, and there he is recorded as a citizen in 1632. He was a blacksmith, and signed his will with a cross, which was not an unusual thing in those days. He had a comfortable home with three acres of ground around it, his blacksmith shop, andfifty acres of pasture and meadow land in various parcels so that his widow, who had the use of the property during her lifetime, was quite well provided for as far as property was concerned in thosedays. Like most Puritans he was intensely superstitious, a believer in signs and omens, and when one day. as he was working at his forge, a stone fell from it and crumbled to powder, he recognized the evil portent and gave to his wife the nails he was then making, saying, "They will come in handy some day." The nails were kept, and when he died they were used in making his coffin. He was admittedto the church in Charlestown, June 8, 1633. He resided for a time in Malden, where he died July 26, 1644. His wife's baptismal name was Joanna. Her ante-nuptial surname and the date of marriage are unknown. The widow of Daniel Shepardson married (second) Thomas Call, Sr., and died January 30, 1661. The children of Daniel and Joanna Shepardson were: Lydia, Daniel and Joanna.

Daniel Shepardson, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England, and came to this country in 1626 or 1629, landing at Salem, Massachusetts. He removed to Charlestown, Massachusetts, as early as 1632, and was admitted to the church there June 3, 1633. His home was in the section afterwards incorporated as the town of Maiden. He was a blacksmith by trade. He died at Maiden July 26, 1644. His will was dated July 16, 1644, bequeathing to his wife, his daughters Lydia and Joanna, and son Daniel, whom he wished to be brought up in the trade of blacksmith. He made Mr. Nowell and his brothers Heborne and Cutler, overseers of the will. The court divic'ed his estate May 26, 1647. His widow Joanna married (second) Thomas Call. She died January 30, 1661. Children: Lydia, baptized July 24, 1637, married (first) Thomas Call Jr., (second) Thomas Skinner; Daniel, mentioned below; Joanna, baptized March 13, 1642, married Roger Kinnicut. 		Shepardson Daniel

In 1653, Lawrence Southwick is overseer Wm. Bacon's will.— Town Records, p. 235.

April 8, 1659, Lawrence Southwick of Salem bought of Edward Lummus, of Ipswich, 3 acres of land.— Salem Records.

Henry F. Waters, of Salem, Mass., says: "The names Southwick and Eastuic (Eastwic), found on our Salem records both suffered more or less change by the slighting of the w; the former occasionally appears as Scthick, Southerick, Suderick, etc., and the latter being rather fixed as Estick."

"In 1639 there were two acres of land set off for each of the persons Annanias Conklin, Obediah Holmes, and Lawrence Southwick; and there was granted to the glass men several acres of ground adjoining to their houses. This was in the neighborhood of Aborn street and near Strong Water Brook," (now, 1881, Salem and Peabody).—Felt's Annals of Salem.

Daniel Appleton White's records, First Church, Salem: "This covenant was renewed by the church o;1 a solemn day of humiliation, March 6, 1660, when also considering the power of temptation amongst usby reason of ye Quaker doctrine to the leavening of some in the place where we act and endangering of others, doe see cause to remember the admonition of our Saviour Christ to his disciples, Matt. 16, 'take heed and beware of ye leaven of the doctrine of the Pharisees', and do judge so far as we understand it yt ye Quaker doctrine is as bad or worse than that of ye Pharisees, Therefore we do covenant by the help of Jesus Christ to take heed and beware of the leaven of the doctrine of the Quakers."

What an impious act, as the Quakers have no creed.

*Cassandra, according to Homeric Legend, was the fairesl daughter of Priam and Hecuba, and the twin sister of Helenus. The children playing in the court of the temple of the Thym- brucan Apollo, not far from Illium, till it was too late for them to return home, a bed of laurel twigs was made for them in the temple, and there in the morning two snakes were found licking their ears, from which resulted such an acuteness of hearing that they could hear the voice of the Gods. Cassandra afterward attracted the love of Apollo by her beauty, and he taught her the secrets of prophecy; but displeased by her rejection of his suit, laid upon her the curse that her vaticinations should never be believed. Accordingly she prophesied in vain of the treachery of the Grecian horse and the destruction of Troy. On the capture of the city she fled to the temple of Minerva, and being captured she fell to the share of Agamemnon, to whom she bore twins, but she was murdered by Clytemnestra.— Chamber's Encyclopedia.

Lawrence Southwick, the immigrant, was born in England, and according to the family tradition was from Lancashire, coming first in 1627, returning to England to bring his wife Cassandra, son John anddaughter Mary, on the ship "Mayflower," in company with William Bradford and others and settled at Salem. We find no mention of his name in the Salem records until 1639, when he and his family were admitted to the First Church, and two acres of land were granted to him by the town to carry on the business of manufacturing glass and earthen ware. Some writers state that he was the first to manufacture glass in America. His two acres of land was called Glass House Field. This name has followed the property to the present time, although the manufacture of glass there ceased long ago. It is in a valley running easterly from Aborn street, and on the south side of what is called Gallows Hill, where several persons were hanged during the Salem witchcraft delusion.

Lawrence Southwick and his family became Friends, or Quakers, and were conspicuous sufferers from the bigoted Puritan authorities. Lawrence and his wife Cassandra, his son Jo- siah and daughter Mary,were fined, whipped,imprisoned, and finally banished. Their son Daniel and daughter Provided were sentenced by the general court to be sold into slavery. Says John Gough, in "History of the People Called Quakers," (1790) :

''I know of no instance of a more persevering malice and cruelty than that wherewith they persecuted the aforesaid Lawrence and Cassandra Southick (Southwick) and their family. First, while members of their church, they were both imprisoned for entertaining strangers, Christopher Holder and John Cope- land, a Christian duty which the Apostle to the Hebrews advises not to be unmindful of ; and after seven weeks imprisonment, Cassandra was fined 40 shillings for owning a paper written by the aforesaid persons. Next, for absenting from public worship and owning the Quakers' doctrine, on the information of one Captain Hawthorne, they, with their son Josiah, were sent to the House of Correction and whipped in the coldest season of the year, and at the same time Hawthorne issued his warrant to distrain their goods for absence from public worship, whereby there were taken from the cattle to the value of four pounds, fifteen shillings. Again they were imprisoned with others for being at a meeting, and Cassandra was again whipped, and upon their joint letter to the magistrates before recited, the other applicants were released but this family, although they with the rest had suffered the penalty of their cruel law fully, were arbitrarily detained in prison to their great loss and damage, being in the season of the year when their affairs most immediately demand their attendance ; and last of all were banished upon pain of death, as before recited, by a law made while they were imprisoned. Thus despoiled of their property, deprived of their liberty, driven into banishment, and in jeopardy of their lives, for no other crime than meeting apart and dissenting from the established worship, the sufferings of this inoffensive aged couple ended only with their lives. But the multipliedinjuries of this harmless pair were not sufficient to gratify that thirst for vengeance which stimulated these persecutors while any member of the family remained unmolested. During their detention in prison they left at home a son Daniel and a daughter Provided ; these children, not deterred by the unchristian treatment of their parents and brother, felt themselves rather encouraged to follow their steps and relinquish" the assemblies of a people whose religion was productive of such relentless persecution; for

their absence from which they were fined ten pounds, though it was well known that they had no estate, their parents having been reduced to poverty by repeated fines and extravagant distraints ; wherefore to satisfy the fine they were ordered to be sold for bondslaves at Virginia or Barbadoes. Edward Butler, one of the treasurers, sought out for a passage for them to Barbadoes for sale, but couldfind none willing to take them thither. * * * Disappointed in his designs and at a loss how to dispose of them, the winter approaching, he (Butler) sent them home to shift for themselves till he could find a convenient opportunity to send them away."

Lawrence and wife Cassandra went to Shelter Island, Long Island Sound, being banished under pain of death in 1659, and died there in the spring of 1660 from privation and exposure ; his wife died three days before him. Their son Josiah went to Rhode Island and ^established a home for himself and family. He came back to Salem in 1660 to look after his parents' property, and found it in very poor condition. He was whipped for returning to Massachusetts. The will of Lawrence Southwick was dated July 10, 1659, bequeathing to son Daniel his property at Salem ; devising also to sons, Josiah Southwick, John Southwick ; to John Burnell, Samuel Burton, Mary Trask, Deborah Southwick, Ann Potter and others. Children : i. John, born 1620, died October 25, 1672 ; married Sarah Tidd, Hannah Flint, and Sarah Burnett (or Burnell). 2. Mary, born 1630, married Henry Trask. 3. Josiah, born 1632. 4. Provided, born 1635, died 1640. 5. Daniel, born 1637 ; mentioned below. 6. Provided, born December 1641 ; married December 30, 1662, Samuel Gaskill. 		Southwick Lawrence

1154 Mathew Stanley, the immigrant ancestor, came to Lynn, Massachusetts, from England, about 1646. He was one of the first settlers of Topsfield, Massachusetts, and his descendants have been numerous in that town. He was probably related to Thomas Stanley, who settled in Saugus, near Lynn, and was deputy to the peneral court in 1635, removed to Hartford, Connecticut, and afterward to Hadley, Massachusetts. Thomas Stanley had a brother John who died on his way to New England, and a brother Timothy who settled in Cambridge and removed to Hartford.

1159 Five hundred years ago, more or less, when the population of England had become sufficiently dense to make surnames necessary, some Englishman assumed the name of Sterne. He may have taken it from the sign of the Sterne, or starling, (which is the symbol of industry), which he displayed in front of his place of business, or it mav have been taken from some event in which a starling was concerned;but of this there is now no record or means of knowing.

In England the name was, and it seems still is, sncllcd Sterne, two notable instances of which are the names of Richard Sterne, Lord Archbishop of York, and Lawrence Sterne, the distinguished novelist, author of "Tristam Shandy" and other works; hut in America it is spelled Stearns. Sternes. Sterns, or Starns, and Starnes, the last two forms being distinctly southern. The changes probably commenced in the pronunciation, and extended to the writing of the name, which, in Winthrop's journal and in the early town and county records of Massachusetts, appears as Sterne.

In every instance where the lineage of this family lias been traced back it has been to one of the following : Isaac, Charles, or Nathaniel. What relationship existed between the three is not known. Isaac in his will calls Charles "My kinsman." It is

noticeable, however, that all three named their sons Isaac, Samuel, and John, while the sons of Isaac named their sons Nathaniel. The belief is entertained by many of the Stearns descendants that three Sterne brothers Isaac, Daniel and Shubael— came to America together; that Daniel died unmarried, or without issue; that Shubael and wife leaving two sons, Charles and Nathaniel, to the care of their uncle Isaac. Research in England has thus far failed to find parents, brothers, or sisters of Isaac Stearns, the emigrant from .England.

In the genealogy of the Stearns family published in 1901, over eleven thousand persons were mentioned. Among these were one hundred and thirty- two graduates of colleges, universities, etc.; eighty- three clergymen: eighty physicians; fifty-nine lawyers; twelve principals of academics and high schools; twelve professors of colleges; one chancellor of a state university: one dean of a divinity school; three presidents of colleges; one superintendent of instruction (Argentine Republic) ; eleven authors; five editors; one bishop of Pennsylvania: one general manager of railroads; one president ofrailroads; one president of a telegraph company; twenty farmers; two governors; three lieutenant governors; two secretaries of state; eleven state senators; thirty-six colonial or state representatives; two speakers of the house; two supreme court judges; five mayors: two generals; tw-enty-two colonels; eleven majors; fifty-six captains; and one hundred and eighty-two private soldiers.

(I) Isaac Stearns, the immigrant ancestor, embarked at Yarmouth. England, in the ship "Arabella," April 12, 1630, and arrived on tire Massachusetts coast in company with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall. and Edward Garfield, ancestor of the martyr president. He came from Nayland, England, and was accompanied by his wife Mary and two daughters, Mary and Ann. Mr. Stearns settled at Watertown, Massachusetts, and was among the first freemen established there in 1631. He was selectman several years, and died June 19, 1671, being survived nearly six years by his widow, who passed away Anril 2, 1677. Beside the children above named they had John. Isaac, Sarah, Samuel, Elizabeth and Abigail. John is supposed also to have been born in England. (Mention of Isaac (2) and Samuel and descendants appears in this article).

The surname Stearns is of STEARNS English origin, the spelling varying from Stearns, Sternes, Sterns, Straus, to Sterne and Stern. It is a well-known name in the counties of Nottingham, Berks, Norfolk, Hertford, Suffolk, and Cambridge. The oldest coat-of- arms known in the family is that of the Archbishop of York (1664-1683), viz: Or, a chevron between three crosses flory sable. Crest : a cock starling ppr. The arms at that time were doubtless in use for many generations.

(I) Isaac Stearns, the immigrant, was born in England and embarked for America on April 8, 1630, in the ship "Arabella," with Sir Richard Saltonstall and family, Governor \Vinthrop and many others, arriving at Salem, Massachusetts, June 12, following. Three other ships were in the same party. They preferred Watertown to Salem and Stearns among others made his home there. He had a home- stall in 1642 at Watertown, on the east side of the highway, bounded by land of John Warren, John Bisco and the Pequasset Meadow. He was admitted a freeman May 18, 1631, and was selectman several years. In 1647he and Mr. Bisco were appointed by the selectmen "to consider how the bridge over the river shall be built, and to agree with the work-men for doing it, according to their best discretion." This was the first bridge over Charles river. He was a tailor by trade as well as farmer. He died June 19, 1671, and his will was proved in October following. He married Mary Barker, daughter of John Barker, of Stoke Nayland, Suffolk, England. The wife of John Barker was Margaret, and >he married second —— Munnings, of Gaynes Colne, Essex, and gave a letter of attorney August 24, 1640. John Barker was a clothier by trade.

1163 John Stebbins appears to have been among the first settlers of New London. He is mentioned as one of the advance party who were engaged in laying out and fencing lots as early as 1645. That year it is said that he mowed the meadows at upper Mamacock.

"John Stubens and Robert Hempsteed are chosen to view the fences for this year (1647)."

"22 Feb., 1648 (49), The inhabitants of Pequit plantation have chosen by a joynt consent Mr. John Winthrop, Robert Hempsteed, Curie Latham, John Stubens, and Thomas Miner for this yeare following to act in all towne affaires as well in the disposing of lands as in other prudentiall occasions for the towne."

His house-lot lay northwest of John Winthrop's, on the upper part of what are now Williams street and Slain street.

"At a town meeting at Namearke, the 25th of Feb., 1649 ( 50), John Stubbins is chosen Constable for the towne Namearke."

In 1652 a small island "at the mouth of Mistick," containing near twenty acres of marsh, was granted to Robert Hempsteed and John Stebbins. At a town meeting held Nov. 29, 1 1669, John Stebbins, William Hough, Clement Miner, and Isaac Willey were chosen to lay out the "Kings highway between New London and the head of teh Niantick river."

In one deposition on record at New London his age is said to be sixty in 1661 and in another seventy in 1675. Where the mistake lies cannot be decided. It is probable that he was the John Stebbins who had a son born at Watertown in 1640. His wife, Margaret, died January 1, 1678-9. Three children are mentioned, John, Daniel, and the wife of Thomas Marshall of Hartford. John Stebbins, 2d, was married about 1663, to Deborah, supposed to have been the daughter of Miles Moore. He died in 1707. Daniel Stebbins married Bethia, daughter of Gideon Comstock. They had a son, Christopher, born 7 July, 1694, and married 22 Dec., 1720, Abigail Allen, born about 1705, daughter of Samuel Allen and Lydia Hastings.

1167 The records state that Stickney is a large village on the Boston road, eight and one-half miles north of Boston station, in the soke of Bolingbroke, Union of Spilsby, Lindsley division, and diocese of Lincoln, England. From this came the surname Stickney.

In the parish register of St. Mary's Church, in the parish of Frampton in the Wapentake of Kirton, Lincoln county, England, three and one-half miles south from Boston, are many records of baptisms, marriages and burials of Stickneys from 1558 to 1609. The name does not appear on those records after that date. Tradition and information obtained in England render it probable that the family removedto Hull or its vicinity.

(I) William Stickney, the first settler, was the ancestor of nearly all who have since borne that name in America. It is inferred from records procured in England that he was the William who is mentioned as baptized in St. Mary's Church, Frampton, Lincolnshire, England, April 0, 1592, and the son of William Stickney, of Frampton, who was baptized December 30, 1558, and married, June 16, 1585, Margaret Pcirson, and the grandson of Robert Stickney of Frampton, who made his will October 3, and was buried October 18, 1582.

William Stickney, the settler, seems to have come probably from Hull, in Yorkshire, England, in 1637, and from the records of the First Church in Boston it appears that "The-6t of ye nth moneth 1638 Willyam Stickney a husbandman & Elizabeth his wife" and others were admitted; and "The 24th day of ye gth Moneth 1639, Our brethren Mr. Henry Sandys, William Stickney x x x by ye Churches Silence weredismissed to ye gathering of a Church at Rowley if the Lord so please." William Stickney with his wife and three eldest children were among the original settlers of Rowley, Massachusetts. "On the seventh of October 1040 x x x Willi: Stickney were admitted Freemen." In 1639 William Stickney had land allotted to him upon which he erected a house, on the corner of Bradford and Wethcrslield streets. He was a member of an important committee in 1652 to draw up "a covenant and agreement," between the town of Rowley and the first settlers of the Mernmack lands, now Bradford. He was clerk of the market, and on jury of trials in 1653, selectman 1656 and 1661, also in 1661 styled lieutenant. The ancient possession books of Rowley contain frequent records of grants of land to him and from him and his wife. In the town books of Rowley it is recorded that William Stickney was buried January 2S, 1665. Elizabeth Stickney survived her husband several years. The date of her death is not known. On the two hundredth anniversary of the death of William Stickney, a granite obelisk was elected on his grave bearing the following inscription:

OBITUARY

CATHERINE STINEMAN VIBBER was born in Brownhelm, Erie county, Ohio, December 9, 1841, and died at her home in Grandview, Iowa, January 29, 1903.

She came with her parents to Louisa county in 1855 and was united to Rush C. Vibber, November 16, 1863. To this union were born six children-three sons and three daughters. The husband and five children survive-Geo. W., Mrs. S.J. Latta, M. Alzada, Mrs. G.W. Buster, and Harry R., all of Grandview; one son, Harley R., having died in infancy. She also leaves two brothers, John Stineman, of Wheatland, Cal., and David Stineman, of Musactine, and three sisters, Mrs. H. Gast and Mrs. J. Krahl of Grandview, and Mrs. J. Benson of Columbus Junction, Iowa. Mrs. Vibber united with the United Evangelical church in 1860 and led a true, consistent Christian life. As a wife and mother, words fail to express the appreciation in which she was held. Her life was marked by a desire to do good and to please her Savior, who gave her strength to patiently bear her afflictions until He would say, "It is enough, come up higher."

IN MEMORIAM

Yes, we'll miss you, mother,
But 'tis sweet to know
You're in heaven, for your life
And God has told us so.

Tho' you're not with us, mother,
You have gone with God to dwell;
O, the consalation this affords us,
Words are but too frail to tell.

You said not to weep, dear mother,
For you'd soon be with the blest;
And with arms outstretched in greeting,
You would there await the rest.

Tho' you're not with us, mother,
Your life with us shall live;
For we cannot do without
The good your life did give.

Now that God has said, "Come higher,"
We to-day must say goodbye;
But with anxious hearts we're waiting
The glad meeting there on high.

THOMPSON.

SAMUEL THOMPSON, from Dedham, built and occupied a log house on the Bryant farm quite early. The present house was built for Mr. Thompson by Benjamin Deane. A year was spent by the former * clearing the land and putting up the log house before he brought his family from Dedham, which was about the year 1785. His wife was Olive Felch, to whom he was married, Apr. 3, 1777. She was a daughter of Stephen and Hannah (Fisher) Felch. The former was born Sept. 10. 1731, the latter Sept. 20, 1734, she was born Nov. 9, 1756, and died in this town, Feb. 18,1844. Samuel Thompson was born May 26, 1749, and died in Francestown, Jan. 30, 1825. He had two children both of whom were born in Dedham. They were:—

1. Olive, [b. Aug. 7, 1778, m. John Felch of Weare, Dec. 22, 179(5, d. Nov. 24, 18tiO, in Francestowu.]
2. Mary, [b. Dec. 27, 1779, m. Benjamin Felch of Weare, Apr. 14, 1799, d. in Weare in 1837.]

* The first land cleared by Mr. Thompson was the burying ground on the Bryant farm. 		Thompson Samuel
 
1177 Samuel Thompson settled in Walpole, Massachusetts, formerly part of Dedham, Massachusetts, and may have been a descendant of earlier Thompson settlers of that section. The records are too imperfect to afford proof, however. He was born about 1720 and may have been one of the Scotchmen who settled in that vicinity about 1730-50. There were Thompsons bearing similar names in the adjoining town of Bellingham. He may have been a son or nephew of Ebenezer Thompson who settled in the adjacent town of Medway before 1697-98. Some of the Thompson family of Meclfield certainly lived in Walpole. Most ofthese families were descended from Samuel Thompson, born February 16, 1630, a settler in Braintree.

Samuel Thompson, of Walpole, died there October 14, 1795. He was an active citizen and though too old to be a soldier he loaned money to the town to pay for men during the revolution. He married Mary_____. Children, born at Walpole: i. Samuel, May 6, 1749, married, April 3, 1/77, Olive Felch, and was a soldier in the revolution from Walpole; had two daughters; removed to Francestown, New Hampshire, with his younger brother Luther and died there January 30, 1825. 2.

1186 1. CLEMENT TOPLIFF was born Nov. 17, 1603, probably in England, though his birthplace still remains unknown. The date of his marriage, the surname of his wife Sarah, and the exact date of his arrivalin Dorchester have not been ascertained, but it is supposed that he came over with John Mather in the "Second Emigration," 1635-7.

His farm was near what is now Columbia Road, Dorchester. The new street called Topliff was laid out through the original grant a few years ago. His daughter Obedience married David Copp of Boston, from whom Copp's Hill was named. The stone to two of their children is one of the earliest in the burial ground on that hill.

Clement Topliff was admitted into the First Church of Dorchester, 4 : 12: 1639; he was made freeman May 13, 1640, and was a herdsman in 1653. He was one of the signers of the Thompson's Island agreement, 7 : 12: 1641.

He died Dec. 24, 1672, in Dorchester, and was buried in the cemetery at the corner of the present Stoughton Street and Columbia Road. His will, dated Jan. 26, 1666, was probated Jan. 31, 1672. Sarah,his widow, died July 29, 1693, aged 88, and was buried near her husband. The gravestones of both husband and wife are in an excellent state of preservation.

1188 The surname Towne is an ancient English surname but not o-f frequent occurrence. It is found as early as 1227. Again in the reign of Henry IV. the coat-of-arms of the Towne family and the family nameare found on a memorial window in a church at Kensington, county Kent. The arms are described: Argent on a chevron sable, three crosses crosslet, ermine. It is believed that Richard Towne, of Braceby, Lincolnshire, England, and his wife Ann, were parents of the American immigrant, mentioned below.

(I) William Towne, the American immigrant, was born in England and baptized May 21, 1603. He married, at Yarmouth, county Norfolk, England, March 25, 1620, Joanna Blessing, in the church of St. Nicholas, and there six of his children were baptized. He settled, first, at Salem, Massachusetts, where he had a grant of land in 1640 and resided in the part of the town called Northfields until 1651, when he bought land and moved to Topsfield. In 1652 he sold his Salem property and bought more land at Topsfield. He died at Topsfield about 1672. His widow died ten years later. Children: i.

1196 Mrs. Almeda M. Daynard to Receive Estate of Her Husband.

Almeda M. Daynard of Evans Mills will usher suit against the heirs at law, devises and legacies of her husband, Luther L. Daynard, begun some time ago to break his last will, and is to be accorded the real property absolutely. A decision to this effect has just been handed down by Justice Edgar C. Emerson, who heard the preceeding as raferen. Real property estimated at $10,000 is thus lost to thelisters under the last will and reverts to the widow. The distribution of the personal estate some $2,800, is not affected under the decision.

Mrs. Daynard sued to compel the specific performance of su agreement which she claimed her husband made with her in 1908 whereby he agreed to leave her all of his property upon his death. Judge Emerson sustains this claim and orders that she be absolute owner of a farm of 188 acres in the town of Leray, upon which she and her husband formerly resided, and also of a house and lot in Evans Mills.

The farm in question was formerly owned by Alfred Vebber, father of Mrs. Daynard, and is her homestead property. After Mr. Vebber's death his surviving heirs united in a covenance of the farm to Mrs.Daynard, and she and her husband resided there for many years until about six years ago, when they moved to the property in Evans Mills.

It was Mrs. Daynard's claim that in March, 1908, she and her husband entered into agreement whereby to so arrange their affairs that in the event of the death of either the survivor would become the owner of all of their properties. In accordance with such agreement, Mrs. Daynard executed to her husband a deed of the farm, and it appeared that Daynard about a month subsequently executed a will whereby he gave his wife all of the property excepting a samll reservation for the purpose of maintaining his cemetery lot. This condition of affairs continued until his last illness in December, 1910,when he executed another will giving Mrs. Daynard a life estate only and directing that upon her death the estate be divided among a number of different persons, all of whom were made defendants in the wife's suit.

These defendants included Norman Hart of Glen Park, a former employe? of the Daynards, who was bequethed $500 from the personal estate, and who appeared on the trial by John Conboy Elmer VanBrocklin,aged 23, a son of a neighbor of the Daynards in Evans Mills, bequethed $2,000; Margaret Murgy, an infant, grand oleeq of Mrs. Daynard and given $200; Ruth Sixbury, to whom was bequeathed the house and lot in Evans Mills, and Merton Sixbury of Deleriets, residuary legstee and who, under the will, would eventually become the owner of the farm. Mr. Sixbury was a second cousin of Mr.s Daynard and formerly worked the Daynard farm. He is now a manager of the St. Regis Paper Co.'s farm at Defferiets. Attorney E. R. Wilcox appeared for Master VanBrocklin; Archie Ryder looked after the interest of Miss Murphy and Jerme B. Cooper appeared for the Sixbury family. George W. Matliett, executor under the last will, was represented Leue & State.

Justice Emerson holds a substance that the later will made by Daynard is in violation of the agreement he had formerly made with his wife and that under it none of the legatees or devisees acquired any interest in the real estate. In accordance with the finding it is directed that the several defendants execute quit claim deeds to the plaintiff.

Pitcher & O'Brien were attorneys for Mrs. Daynard.

They were with the gallant Phil Sheridan in the valley of the Shenandoah, and took part in the battle of Petersburg. Here, while the Fourth battalion of the 10th Regiment was making a gallant charge on the enemy, April 2, 1865, Mr. Vebber received a gunshot wound between the knee and thigh, and, falling upon the ground, was left on the field, taken prisoner, and carried to a rebel hospital; but the enemy, hastily retreating in the night, left their prisoners which they had taken, and the next day they were recovered by our forces. Mr. Vebber, with his wounded comrades, was taken to the field hospital, and his limb was amputated close to the body by Dr. Smith Copeland, the regimental surgeon. After this he was transfered from one hospital to another till October 5, 1865, when he was discharged from David's Island Hospital, at New York harbor. He is now receiving the pension granted for such disability. After returning from the war he and his family went to live with his father-in-law, William Merrill, and at his death succeeded to the farm on which he now lives.
