Shortly prior to 1730 he settled in that part of Seabrook then included within the jurisdiction of Hampton Falls. His name appears among the taxpayers there in 1747, 1748,1749, and 1750. He was a practicing physician formany years in the vicinity of Hampton Falls and Sea- brook, N. H.

      He married, first, in Reading, 6 May, 1702, Deborah Dean (or Dane) of Charlestown, perhaps the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Fuller) Dean.

Hepsibah Curtis was born at Topsfield, 28 Nov., 1694 ; baptized at Boxford, 6 Jan. 1694-5, and died at the "old Felch homestead, where her son Samuel resided."

      From the death of Dr. Griggs until about 1730, there was apparently no settled physician in what is now Danvers. Dr. Daniel Felch doubtless practiced among the families of Salem Village from 1718-1729. He was the son of Henry and Hannah Felch of Beading and located in the Will's hill section of the Village, in that part later set off as Middleton. He bought of Joseph White, in 1720, a new house and 28 acres of land, which was the original farm of William Way. The first town meetings in Middleton were held at his house, the cellar of which could be seen as late as 1888 nearly opposite the house of the late Addison Tyler. He married first, at Beading, May 2, 1702, Deborah Deane of Charlestown; married, second, Sarah ; married, third, by Eev. Peter Clark, Hepzibah Curtis. Children: Daniel, b. at Beading, 1703, d. 1713; Daniel, b. at Beading, 1718, bp. at Salem Village, Apr. 20, 1718; Deborah and Sarah, twins, born at Beading, 1720, Deborah, being bp. at Salem Village, Apr. 24, 1720; Samuel, bp. at Salem Village, Apr. 23, 1727; and Sarah, bp. at Salem Village, Apr. 21, 1728. He was taxed for the ministry rate at Salem Village from 1721-1726. Dr. Felch sold his house at Middleton in 1729 and removed to Salisbury. In his later life he removed to Seabrook, where he became the progenitor of all the New Hampshire family of that name. He died at Seabrook, Oct. 5, 1752, aged 84 years.

      The Salem records also mention Samuel Gedney, 1698, Edward Weld, 1699, Johannes Kronenscheldt, 1697, Joseph Wheeler, 1704, James Sherman, 1708, James Holgate, Francis Ghatman, 1709, Hendrick Schwietzer, 1716, and others who may have been called to administer "physic" to the people of this section. The diary of Daniel Rea particularly mentions Dr. Barton and Dr. "Paker" as having attended that family in the early seventeen hundreds.
