911 -- The sudden shying and subsequent runaway of a skitish horse on Saturday resulted in throwing two ladies, Miss Nellie Vebber and Mrs. E. E. Coffeen, out of a carriage in which they, together with Mr.s H.H. Vebber, were riding. Mrs. V. remained in the buggy and succeeded in stopping the horse after running a short distance. Mrs. Coffeen sustained a severe sprain of the ankle, which was the most serious phase of the accident.

Mrs. Hiram Vebber of this town of Champion died suddenly Wednesday at her home. She leaves a husband, two sons and a daughter. The oldest son is Dr. F. M. Vebber, one of the coroners of Jefferson county, located at Clayton. The funeral will be held from her late house to-morrow. 		Merrill Almira

Notes for NATHANIEL +MERRILL: From "A Merrill Memorial" by Samuel Merrill, Cambridge, MA 1917-1928

Nathaniel(2) Merrill (Nathaniel(1)) spent his life in Newbury MA, but whether he was born in England, or in America after his father's migration, is not known. He died 1 jan 1682/83. In a "List of their names who have taken the oath of Allegiance at Newberry, 1678," (vol 30, p.56) his age is recorded as 40 years, while the age of his brother Abraham is given as 41 years. It is believed, however, that Nathaniel was the oldest of the children, a belief based on the fact that he was named as executor of his father's will, and was therefore probabley of age in March, 1655.

Addendum 1996:Baptismal records show that Nathaniel was baptized on 25 Jan 1634 in Lawford, Essex Co., England.

919 This surname was Anglicized from the French name de Merle. Merle signifies a blackbird. Its original bearer is said to have derived it from the figure of a blackbird displayed at his door. The ancient seat of the de .Merles of France was at Place de Dombes Avergne. The English Merrills are for the most part descended from a follower of William the Conqueror. Their coat-of-arms is thus described: "Or, a barrulet between three peacocks erased proper." Crest: "a peacock's head erased proper." The immigrant ancestor of the Merrils of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine was Nathaniel Merrill, who settled in Newbury, Massachusetts, about the year 1635, and died there in 1655. He came from Salisbury, England.

Nathaniel Merrill, probably brother of John Merrill, came from Salisbury, England, in 1635 or 1636. and settled in Ipswich before 1642. He married Susanna Jordan, and died March 16, 1654-55. His willwas dated March 8, 1654-55, and proved March 27, 1654-55. Children: i. Deacon John, born 1632 or 34, removed to Hartford, Connecticut, before 1657; married Sarah Watson. 2. Abraham, born about 1636, died January, 18, 1700-01 ; married Abigail Webster. 3. Nathaniel, born about 1638, married, October 15, 1661, Joanna Kinney. 4. Susanna, married. October 15, 1663, John Burbank. 5. Daniel, born August 20, 1642, married, May 14, 1667, Sarah Clough; married (second), May 29, 1708, Widow Sarah (Morrill, Rowell) Page. 6. Abel, born 1644. mentioned below.

vi. NATHANIEL *MERRILL, b. May 4, 1601, Wherstead, Suffolk, England; d. March 16, 1654/55, Newbury, Essex, Mass.

10. NATHANIEL6 *MERRILL (NATHANIEL5, JOHN4 *MERRELL , THE YOUNGER, JOHN3 *MERYELL, JOHN2, THOMAS1) was born May 4, 1601 in Wherstead, Suffolk, England, and died March 16, 1654/55 in Newbury, Essex, Mass. He married SUSANNAH (....) MERRILL September 23, 1633 in Wherstead, Suffolk, England, daughter of UNKNOWN ..... and SUSANNA SHEPARD.

Notes for NATHANIEL *MERRILL: Settled, Newbury, Mass. 1638-9. The newly found records show that Nathaniel Merrill's daughter, Susanna, was not baptised until Dec 12, 1638 in Lawford, Essex, Co., England. This tells us that Nathaniel had not left for America whith his family until late December 1638 or early 1639. In 1638 the English Government started restricting it's citizens from freely emigrating to the new continent with it's abundance of land for all, something unknown in England. The fact that brother John arranged for a homesite of four Acres in Newbury for his unnamed "brother" would indicate that the brother was not there by 23 July 1638 but was arraiging to come. Ship records, the Hector, show that Nathaniel and John did arrive in Ipswich, Mass. in 1635. Nathaniel must have returned to England to get his wife and his four children and returned in 1638-39.

From "A Merrill Memorial" by Samuel Merrill, Cambridge MA 1917-1928

Nathaniel(1) Merrill was one of the earliest settlers in Newbury, MA in 1635. He was the ancestor of the vast majority of those who now bear the Merrill name in this country: it is believed, indeed, that less than one percent of the Merrills in America can trace their pedigree to any other emigrant ancestor.

Nathaniel Merrill and his older brother John were born in England. The registers of Wherstead, a parish lying three miles south if Ipswich, in Suffolk County, England, contain the following entries:

1599, August 16. John Merrell son of Nath! Merrell & Mary his wife was baptised. 1601, May 4. Nathanaell Merrell son of Nath! Merrell & his wife Mary was baptised.

There are reasons for believing that these entries are the record of baptism of John and Nathaniel Merrill of Newbury. These reasons will be given at length in another place.

Nathaniel Merrill and his brother John settled in Newbury in the spring of 1635, having passed a year or two in Ipswich, MA., (then called Agawam) with most of the Newbury settlers. In 1638 nathanielbecame one of the "proprietors" of Newbury.

It is supposed that Nathaniel Merrill was married before leaving England. No record is found of his marriage in America. If the marriage took place here it was probabley at Ipswich, in the short timebefore the settlement in Newbury. His wife's name was Susanna. Savage, in the "genealogical Dictionary of New England" (published in 1861), says that Nathaniel Merrill married Susanna Jordan. In thishe was no doubt following Coffin's "History of Newbury" (published in 1845), and the statement has been frequently copied.

From "Merrill Genealogy" by Paul V. Merrill, The Merrill Newsletter, Vol 4, Issue 3.

Nathaniel and his brother John came to America in 1633, supposedly on the ship Hector. [Ed note: it is not know that John came first and Nathaniel at some later date.] They landed at Ipswich, MA, butsoon moved to Salisbury, MA. My 1635 Nathaniel moved to Newbury, MA. He owned land in Ipswich, MA in 1636 and received a grant of land in Newbury, MA on the "Neck" south of the Tarker River, May 5, 1638. Children, John, Abraham, Nathaniel, Susanna, Daniel, Abel and Thomas. Nathaniel died- Mar 16 1654/44 in Newbury, MA. His wife died Jan 15 1872. Nathaniel was probably a farmer and is ancestor to all the Merrills in the U.S.A.. His brother John and wife had a daughter but no sons.

Notes for SUSANNAH (....) MERRILL: Susannah ........, also known as Susannah Wolterton, was the wife of the emigrant, Nathaniel Merrill. For many years she was thought to be the sister of Gregory Wolterton of Hartford, Conn. Later research shows that she is the daughter of Gregory's wife, Susannah Sheppard by a previous marriage.

From "A Merrill Memorial" by Samuel Merrill, Cambridge, MA 1917-1928

After the death of Nathaniel Merrill his widow married Stephen Jordan (or Jourdain). Nathaniel Merrill, son of Nathaniel and Susanna Merrill, gave a deed, under date of 16 Aug 1661, to Peter Godfrey of Newbury, in which the phrase occurs, "after the decease of my mother Susanna Jordan," and out of this fact the error regarding the maiden name of Nathaniel's wife grew.

The conjecture has been advanced, and it has even been stated as a face, that the wife of Nathaniel Merrill was Susanna Wilterton (or Wolterton.)

Gregory Wilterton of Hartford was childless: Susanna Merrill of Newbury was a widow with five sons and a daughter, most of them in their minority. It would have been natural for Gregory Wilterton under these circumstances to write to his kinswoman in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and offer a home and modest fortune to one of the boys. But Gregory Wilterton may have been a more distant relative, ormerely a friend. Until other evidence is brought forward the conscientious genealogist must say that the maiden name of Nathaniel's wife in unknown.

937 Mixer.—Savage's Genealogical Dictionary says that Isaac Mixer came in 1634, aged 31, with wife Sarah, aged 33, and son Isaac, aged 4. In vol. 1, p. 103, of Phllllmore and Blagg's Suffolk Marriages, Is found

Isaac Mixer Jun. and Sarah Thurston married May 11, 1629.
Isaac Mixer, widower and Anna Bloss widow married 12 Feb. 1628.

These are in the registers of Capel St. Mary, and in the same volume are

Joseph Brlden and Jane Mixer married June 11, 1618.
George Mixer and Doreth Chisnall married 26 Oct. 1620.

It seems possible that this is the family of Isaac Mixer of Watertown.

942 Isaac Moore, s. of Isaac, b. Sept. 9, 1748, m. Mary, dau. of Capt. Joseph Bigelow of the Marlboro family, June 28, 1768; the farm embraced the lands now owned by Robert B. Wheeler and Edward L. Wheeler; the house stood west of the road nearly opposite Edward L.'s, and was probably built by Isaac, Sr., about 1740. He d. Jan. 5, 1825; she d. Feb. 23, 1825.

The mother of Isaac was Desire Bailey, dau. of Benjamin. Dr. Jacob Moore, s. of Jacob, s. of Isaac, some yet remember was a vigorous schoolmaster, so some once West Berlin boys can well remember; he settled in West Boylston, where he d. early, and his wid. m.

943 John Moore, d. 1674. Probably from Essex co., England. Was an early settler at Sudbury, where he and his oldest son, John, who afterwards settled in Lancaster, were both proprietors. Made various purchases of property at Sudbury. Was town officer. One of his sons, Jacob, married Elizabeth, daughter of Henry and Hannah (Brewer) Loker. His wife, Elizabeth, was probably daughter of Philemon Whale. He died at Sudbury Jan. 6, 1674, leaving a lengthy and carefully-drawn will and a considerable estate. Moore John

945 The families of this name who settled in the north part of this town were a branch of a numerous family which settled on the eastern slope of the Wataquodock range. The ancestral head appears to havebeen John Moore, b. in England about 1600, and was land proprietor in Lancaster in 1652. His s., John, b. in Sudbury, where his father had settled, was also a land proprietor of Lancaster ; his home at first was on the Nashua, but in 1665 he built a new house southeast of Wataquodock, and no record indicates that it was destroyed in the destruction of the town in 1676; he d. 1702. This John, Jr.,had a s., John, b. 1662, and a s., Jonathan, b. 1669, both of whom were at various times representatives to the General Court. Jonathan is supposed to have lived on the Thomas Fry farm, which was sold by his s., Jonathan, to John Fry in J 767. Had also a s., Isaac, who settled on Wheeler hill in Berlin, and he had Isaac, who succeeded him on the place, and another s., Abraham, who lived on the Avery Newton place in Bolton. ByNourse's "History of Worcester County" it appears the mills now owned by Otterson, known formerly as Pollard's mills in Bolton, were built by Jonathan Moore in 1714, but another account ascribes their erection to Thomas Sawyer, Jr., and by him deeded to Atnory Pollard for his kindness and fidelity. Moore John

950 1. The compilation of the record of JOHN MIRICK, third of the four brothers who came from Bristol, England in the ship "James" in 1636, and who was born in Wales in 1614, has involved more research to determine his identity, and that of his children, and has developed more perplexing questions calling for settlement, than that of all the others combined. Some of the questions raised have not beensettled. The early records of Charlestown contain entries made under the head of John Mirick, which can only be accounted for by the assumption that there were two John Miricks, immigrants at about the same time from the old country. This is possible, and in the light of the records seems very probable; in that case it might be assumed that they were father and son, or cousins. But after assumingthat such was the case, there arise in the records questions which are still unsolvable in the light of any evidence now extant. The compiler assumes, in agreement with Miss Henrietta Amelia Mirick, of Boston, a descendant from John Mirick, that our John Mirick married Hopestill , in Charlestown in 1641, about five years after his arrival in this country. The date of Hopestill's death is not on record, but she was alive in 1669, and was then admitted to the church in Charlestown as the wife of John Mirick, and her age was given as fifty years. She certainly could not have been the mother of any John of marriageable age in 1650 or 1655. We have the birth of her son John in 1655, her fifth child; he married Elizabeth Trowbridge Feb. 9, 1682, and died July 11, 1706.

The history of Hingham has the following, relating to a John Mirick, ivhnt one is an open question:
"John Mirick had a grant of land in Hingham in 1637; he had a son John, and probably a widow Elizabeth, who died at Roxbury 25/5/1650. John died July 2, 1647. In 1649, 18/10, Elizabeth Morick of Roxbury granted unto Thos. Thaxter of Hingham, in consideration of xviij- pounds sterling by him paid, twenty Acres and halfe of Arable meadow and pasture being in Hingham, six Acres thereof arabel abutting on the sea, lyeing betweene the lands of John Palmer & Samuel Parker, one peace of vpland of ten acres abutting ( ) Waymouth River neere to John ( ) meadow, one acre and halfe of meadow butting on the sea betweene Widdow Cutler & Thomas Joslins vpland, and foure acres planting land butting on the sea, & Thomas Hewitts land on the side thereof, and this by an absolute deed of sale with Warranty, dated and acknowledged before Tho. Dudley dept. GOv."

There is no record to be found of the marriage of John Mirick to an Elizabeth who died a widow June 25, 1650. The most reasonable explanation is that such John Mirick was married in England or Wales.

Again, the records of Charlestown have the following—
"1655, John Mirick and Elizabeth Wyborne, daughter of Thomas Wyborne of Boston, married by Captain Humphrey Atherton, at Cambridge, 3rd day, 2nd mo."

This still further complicates matters, as, while we have found an Elizabeth who marries a John Mirick, the date of her marriage is five years later than the death of the widow Elizabeth Morick (Mirick) of Hingham, which took place June 25, 1650.

The John Mirick whom we assume to have been the brother of James, was born in Wales in 1614. Was admitted a citizen of Charlestown, Feb. 14, 1641. He was a cooper and block-maker by occupation. As stated by the surveyor's field notes, he had a shop of his own on the water front in Charlestown. The records say of it:
"1670 — Streets surveyed. "There is a way to low-water mark, issuing out of Fish street, and passeth on betweene John Larkins and the shop improv'd by John Miriek, down by Joshua Teel's Salt-house — the way betweene Mirick & Larkin is thirty- seven foote, and betweene the Salt-house and the wharfe is twelve foote."

He was probably possessed of considerable property. He died Feb. 15, 1678-9. His will was proved 1678-9, and his estate was administered by his brother James, of Newbury, who appears to have also retained a dwelling in Charlestown. The will cannot be found, and an official and definite mention of his children is therefore lost to his historians. The best judgment of the compiler of this history assumes that the names of the children mentioned in the Charlestown records and Wyman's " Genealogies of Charlestown," as given below, are correct. He is open to correction if other and better evidenceis ever developed.

The children so named were —
i. HOPESTILL, b. Feb. 20, 1642-3 ; m. Eichard Rosmorgan. Oct. 7, 1664; d. Feb. 14, 1691.

951 3. JOHN2, son of (John1) and Hopestill Mirick, born 1655, at Charlestown, Mass. Married Elizabeth Trowbridge, Feb. 9, 1682, at Newton, Mass.; she born Oct. 12, 1660; was daughter of Deacon James Trowbridge, who was born in Dorchester, Mass., 1636, and died May 22, 1717. He was son of Thomas Trowbridge, of Taunton, England, who settled in Dorchester about 1634. Thomas was in New Haven, Conn., 1637. He returned to England, where he died 1672. Elizabeth died 1734, at Newton, Mass., aged 74 years. John Mirick was a tanner by trade; he was admitted Freeman of Watertown July 21, 1685. Bond, in history of Watertown, says that John Mirick, of Newton, was killed by Indians in
Groton, Mass., July 21, 1706. Paige, in history of Cambridge, says that John Mirick was a soldier. Both of these references may have been to another John, but may have referred to this one. His will,dated April 29, 1706, says: "Being weak in body, under a languishing sickness," names his brothers-in-law, Jonathan Puller and Richard Ward, and his kinsman, Thomas Wiswall, his executors; gives directions about bringing up his small children. His estate was valued at £384. 15s. 7d. He is reported to have died July 11, 1706, at Newton. He may have been killed by Indians at that date, as claimed by Bond, but he probably died at home, in his bed.

953 The surname Needham is English in origin. Needham was a market town in county Suffolk, England, and a parish in the county of Norfolk, England, and it is probable that the families of that name took it, after the Norman fashion, from these towns. The family of the Earl of Kilmorey, to take one instance, took their name from Needham in the county of Derby, England, where they are supposed to have resided during the reign of Edward III., and possibly even earlier. Other derivations of the name are from the Saxon, neat; Danish, nad, a herd, and ham, a village. In another sense it may denote a clean, fair town. The Needham families of the United States are the descendants of several early immigrants. Chief among them were John Need- ham, of Boston; Edmund Needham, of Lynn, and Anthony Needham, of Salem, Massachusetts. John Needham, of Boston, was born in 1674, died February 24, 1742, having married Mary Jefts, February 26, 1702, the next generation finding them at Billerica, Massachusetts, and Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Edmund Needham came from London about 1639 and died at Lynn, Massachusetts, May 16, 1677, having married a lady of the baptismal name of Joan. There were several other settlers of a somewhat later date whose descendants are scattered throughout America. The Needhams, descendants of Anthony, were among the first settlers of Salem and the towns in its vicinity and in Hampden county, Massachusetts.

(I) Anthony Needham, first immigrant ancestor of the American branch of the Needham family here dealt with, was born in England in 1628, died after September 6, 1705, at Salem, Massachusetts. He was among the number of municipal officers organized under an act of incorporation by the people of the town, and he was also lieutenant in the troop of horse raised by the Salem authorities. He was in religion a Quaker Puritan, and when in England, which he is supposed to have left about 1650, he took with his family, according to tradition, an active part in the reformation work under Cromwell. He married, January 10, 1655, at Salem, Massachusetts, Ann Potter, who died after July 16, 1695, and by whom he had twelve children, namely: i. Rebecca, born December 21, 1656; married Michael Chaple- man, in January, 1675. 2. Hannah, born June 30, 1658. 3. Elizabeth, born October i, 1659. 4. Provided, born February 12, 1661, died unmarried. 5. Anthony, mentioned below. 6. Mary, born February 3, 1665,died unmarried in 1742. 7. George, born March 26, 1667, died unmarried. 8.

969 I Francis Nurse of Salem, born England, 18 Jan., 1618; died Salem Village, 22 Nov., 1695; married 24 Aug., 1644, Rebecca, daughter of AVilliam and Jane (Blessing) Towne of Yarmouth, England ; born 16Feb., 1621, hanged as a witch 19 July, 1692.

Says Upham, in his admirable work on Salem Witchcraft:

"Nurse was an early settler, and, before this purchase, had lived, for some forty years, ' near Skerry's,' on the North River, between the main part of the settlement in the town of Salem and the ferry to Beverly. He is described as a ' tray-maker.' The making of these articles and similar objects of domestic use was an important employment in n new country remote from foreign supply. He appears to have been a very respectable person, of great stability and energy of character, whose judgment was much relied on by his neighbors. No one is mentioned more frequently as umpire to settle disputes, or arbitrator to adjust conflicting claims. He was often on committees to determine boundaries or estimate valuations, or on local juries to lay out highways and assess damages."

"On 29 April, 1678, Nurse bought the Bishop farm at Salem Village on favorable terms and proceeded to settle his family upon it."

" With this strong force of stalwart sons find sons-in-law and their industrious wives, Francis Nurse took hold of the farm. The terms of the purchase were so judicious and ingenious, that they are worthy of being related and show in what manner energetic and able-bodied men, even if not possessed of capital, particularly if they could command an effective cooperation in the labor of their families, obtained possession of valuable landed estates. The purchase-money was not required to be paid until the expiration of twenty-one years. In the meantime, a moderate annual rent was fixed upon; seven pounds for each of the first twelve years and ten pounds for each of the remaining nine years. If, at the end of the time, the amount stipulated had not been paid, or Nurse should abandon the undertaking, the property was to relapse to Allen. Disinterested and suitable men, whose appointment was pro-

vided for, were then to estimate the value added to the estate by Nurse during his occupancy, by the clearing of meadows or erection of buildings or other permanent improvements, and all of that value over and above one hundred and fifty pounds was to be paid to him. If any part of the principal sum should be paid prior to the expiration of twenty- one years, a proportionate part of the farm was to be relieved of all obligation to Allen, vest absolutely in Nurse and be disposable by him. By these terms, Allen felt authorized to fix a very high price for the farm, it not being payable until the lapse of a long period of time. If not paid at all, the property would come back to him, with one hundred and fifty pounds of value added to it. It was not a bad bargain for him,— a man of independent means derived from other sources and so situated as not to be able to carry on the farm himself. It was a good investment ahead. To Nurse, the terms were most favorable. He did not have to pay downa dollar at the start. The low rent required enabled him to npply almost the entire income from the farm to improvements that would make it more and more productive. Before half the time had elapsed,a value was created competent to discharge the whole sum due to Allen. His children severally had good farms within the bounds of the estate, were able to assume with ease their respective shares of the obligations of the purchase, and the property was thus fully secured within the allotted time. Allen gave, at the beginning, a full deed, in the ordinary form, which was recorded in this county. Nurse gave a duly executed bond, in which the foregoing conditions are carefully and clearly defined. That was recorded in Suffolk County, and nothing, perhaps, was known in the neighborhood, at the time or ever after, of the terms of the transaction. When the success of the enterprise was fully secured, Nurse conveyed to his children the larger half of the farm, reserving the homestead and a convenient amount of land in nig own possession. The plan of this division shows great fairness and judgment and was entirely satisfactory to them all. -They were required, by the deeds he gave them, to maintain a roadway by which they could communicate with each other and with the old parental home.

"Here the venerable couple were living in truly patriarchal style, occupying the 'mansion' of Townsend Bishop, when the witchcraft delusion occurred. They and their children were all clustered withinthe limits of the three-hundred-acre farm. They were one family. The territory was their-own, secured by their united action and nvido commodious, productive, valuable and beautiful to behold, by their harmonious, patient and persevering labor. Each family had a homestead and fields and gardens, and children were growing up in every household. The elder sons and sons-in-law had become men of influence in the affairs of the church and village. It was a scene of domestic happiness and prosperity rarely surpassed. The work of life having been successfully done, it seemed that a peaceful and serene descent into the vale of years was secured to Francis and Rebecca Nurse. But far otherwise was the allotment of a dark and inscrutable providence.

"There is some reason to suspect that the prosperity of the Nurses had awakened envy and jealousy among the neighbors. The very fact that they were a community of themselves and by themselves may have operated prejudicially. To have a man who, for forty years, had been known, in the immediate vicinity, as a farmer and mechanic on a small scale, without any pecuniary means, get possession of such a property and spread out his family to such an extent, was inexplicable to all and not relished perhaps by some. There seems to have been a disposition to persist in withholding from him the dignity of a landholder ; and, long after he had distributed his estate among his descendants, it is mentioned in deeds made by parties that bounded upon it, as 'the farm which Mr. Allen of Boston lets to theNurses." Not knowing probably any thing alxmt it, they call it, even after Nurse's death, 'Mr. Allen's farm.' This, however, was a slight matter. When Allen sold the farm to Nurse, he bound himself to defend the title ; and he was true to his bond. What was required to be done in this direction may, perhaps, have exposed the Nurses to animosities which afterwards took terrible effect against them.

"In granting lands originally, neither the general court nor the town exercised sufficient care to define boundaries. There does not appear to have been any well-arranged system, based upon elaborate, accurate, scientific surveys. Of the dimensions of the area of a rough, thickly wooded, unfrequented country, the best estimates of the most practised eyes and measurements resting on mere exploration or perambulation, are very unreliable. The consequence was that, in many cases, grants were found to overlap each other. This was the case with the Bishop farm; and soon after Nurse came into possession and had begun to operate upon it a conflict commenced; trespasses were complained of; suits were instituted ; and one of the most memorable and obstinately contested land-controversies known to our courts took place. In that controversy Nurse was not formally a principal. The case was between James Allen and Zerubabel Endicott, or between Allen and Nathaniel Putnam."

"We shall come back to the Townseud-Bishop grant and to the house, still standing, that he built and dwelt in, upon it. It may be well to pause and view its interesting history prior to 1692. While occupied by its original owner, the 'mansion' or 'cottage' was the scene of so-

cial intercourse among the choicest spirits of the earliest age of New England. Here Bishop and, after him, Chickering, entertained their friends. Here the fine family of Richard Ingersoll was brought up. Here Governor Endicott projected plans for opening the country, and the road that passes its entrance-gate was laid out by him. To this same house young John Endicott brought his youthful Bostonbride. Here she came again, fifteen years afterwards, as the bride of the learned and distinguished James Allen, to show him the farm which, received as a " marriage gift" from her former husband, she had brought as a "marriage gift" to him. Here the same Allen, in less than six years afterwards, brought still another bride. In all these various and some of them rather rapid changes, it was, no doubt, often the resort of distinguished guests and the place of meeting of many pleasant companies. During the protracted years of litigation for its possession, frequent consultations were held within it; and now, for twelve years, it had been the home of a happy, harmonious and prosperous family, exemplifying the industry, energy and enterprise of a New England household."

The many early Parkers in New England begot many early Mary Parkers, and there is, naturally, some confusion about them. In 1692, during the Salem witchcraft frenzy, a Mary Parker was hanged as a witch. At her examination she was asked, " How long have ye been in the snare of the devil ? " She answered : " I know nothing of it. There is another woman of the same name in An- dover." Nevertheless she was hanged. In 1710 an act was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts reversing the witchcraft convictions and declaring them to be null and void. The representatives of the witch, Mary Parker, received from the government of Massachusetts the munificent sum of £8. as compensation for her illegal execution.

Among Parker descendants of note is Samuel Parker, the Hawaiian. He is descended from Samuel Parker of Dedham, through John P. Parker of Newton, who settled in Hawaii about 1816 and whose son, the father of Samuel, owned half of the island. Samuel Parker, millionaire, nobleman at King Kalakaua's court and Prime Minister under Queen Liliuokalani, is said to have been offered the governorship of Hawaii by President Eoosevelt. 		Parker Mary

Adelbert D. Payne

ADELBERT D. PAYNE, the accommodating and courteous postmaster of Bainbridge, was born in the village of Bainbridge, November 19, 1855, and is a son of Dennis W. and Elizabeth (Avery) Payne and a grandson of William Payne.

William Payne was a shoemaker by trade, living in the State of Rhode Island where he was born, until he came to Chenango County, NY, where he followed his trade until his death, which occurred inthe town of Guilford. Dennis W. Payne, our subject's father is one of the best known carpenters of Bainbridge, having been a resident of the town for about forty-four years. Many of the building in this locality bear witness to his industry and efficiency. He was married to Elizabeth Avery and four children were born to them: Franklin G lives in Bainbridge also; Cora E. is the wife of John R. Wilcox of Milford of Otsego County. The father of our subject's mother, Leonard Avery, was born in Connecticut in 1803. Mr. Avery came to the town of Bainbridge, where he owned and operated a large saw-mill. He was a Democrat and voted for Jackson, was one of the best posted men of his community, a great reader, and one who retained in great part what he read. He entered his last sleep in the villageof Bainbridge, and was there laid to rest.

Adelbert D. Payne attended the common schools of Bainbridge, and then entered the employ of the Gilbert Manufacturing Co., with which concern he worked for ten years, a faithful and trusted employee. He then accepted a position with the Delaware and Hudson R.R. at Bainbridge, as baggage master, which he continued to fill until 1894, when he was appointed postmaster at that place and took charge. His record as postmaster is among the best since the office was first created; he has proven himself an able and efficient public servant, a fact that is realized by the patrons of the office. Mr.Payne was united in marriage with Miss Cora May Bundy, February 26, 1884. He is a member of Susquehanna Lodge No. 167, F.& A.M. and is also connected with the Episcopal Church, being one of the vestrymen. He is one of the trustees of the village.
