The first three generations of the Stackpoles in America are summed up on page 69. The different branches of the family tree are then shown in successive chapters. The names of all persons who bear the surname Stackpole are printed in small capitals, and the surname is added in some cases for clearness or by special request. Roman numerals prefixed indicate the first generation of the chapter ; Arabic numerals, the second ; capital letters, the third : small letters, the fourth ; small letters in paren- theses, the fifth. The usual genealogical abbreviations need no explanation. Fulness and accuracy of dates have been sought. Saving a few typographical errors, there is good evidence for every date given. The records of many towns and churches have been searched. Wills, deeds and public documents have yielded as- sistance. Hundreds of letters have contained items of informa- tion. Only a few persons could not be prevailed upon by the utmost diplomacy to answer repeated inquiries. Any reader who notices an error or can furnish further information is requested to notify the author. The first publication of a work of this kind is necessarily incomplete. It brings to light facts that otherwise would remain hidden. The author suggests the printing of an annual report of the Reunions together with cor- rections, additions, and such historical facts of interest as the future of the family may develop. Thus an edition in some future year may be more complete. If this book lead the youth who bear its name to a just amount of family pride and so become an incentive to broad education, earnest endeavor, sympathetic helpfulness, and noble living, the aim and wish of the author will be realized. I. ORIGIN The southwestern part of Wales has long been called "Little England." It was conquered soon after the invasion of William I. and settled by Normans and Flemings, who drove out the primitive Welsh. Pembrokeshire is its extreme western county. On its southern shore there is a columnar mass of limestone called the "Stack Rock," laid down on the Chart of Govern- ment Surveyors, near the mouth of a wide estuary or pool, some- times called Broadhaven. It evidently gave its name to the little harbor, and the place was anciently called Stack-pool. The name is variously spelled. A spelling older than 1300 A. D. is "S-t-a-k-e-p-o-1." A Welsh spelling of about the same date is S-t-a-c-k-p-w-1, where w is sounded like 00. In harmony with the genius of their respective languages the Normans would spell it without a k and the Saxons without a c. In process of time the two were combined as analogously in sack, back, etc. One letter is superfluous, yet modern English employs both in a large number of similar words. Many descendants of the family have always omitted the k in spelling the surname. Since the old Saxon name for a pool of water was pol, pronounced like pole, and since the fashion of Norman French was to write a silent e at the end of many words, it is easy to see how Stack-pool became Stackpole. It may be said, too, that stake and stack have a common origin. There is a tradition that GUILLAUME de MONTVALAI came over in the train of William the Conqueror and was assigned an estate at Horsham, Sussex, not far from the battle- field of Hastings. His son Richard was knighted by William I. and settled in Pembrokeshire, near Stack-pool. The latter part of the tradition, at least, seems to be well founded, as will soon lO STACKPOLE FAMILY be shown. Before the Conquest no surnames existed in Eng- land. They were just beginning to come into use in France. Many surnames arose from the name of the place in which a family lived. In a very old Roll of Knights the name is found "Sire Richard de Stakepol," i. e. Sir Richard of the place called Stackpool, making due allowance for Norman mode of spelling Saxon words. Such is the origin of the family name, and it dates back certainly to the end of the eleventh century. Very few surnames are as old. The historian Freeman smiles at the claim of some families in search of an ancient ancestry to a sur- name dating before the Conquest. A recent historian says, "The name Stackpool was at first the designation of the inlet near the Stack, a projecting rock at its mouth, and the first Norman settler, Sir Elidur, called himself De Stackpool. The speUing Stackpole is incorrect and mislead- ing." He says again, "On a creek, sheltered and woody, Stackpool Court, on the site of a castle founded by the Norman, Elidur de Stackpole, eleventh century, formerly belonging to the Lorts, now to the Earl of Cawdor."* The description given by Richard Fenton in 1810 is so inter- esting that it is here copied at length. In a footnote he adds, " Notwithstanding the modern spelling of the name I have taken the liberty to write it as above on the authority of the MS. referred to, and the most ancient documents I have consulted." His description is as follows : — "Stackpool Court, the elegant seat of Lord Cawdor, undoubtedly took its name, and so I find it noted in a MS. I have had access to in the Bodleian Library, from the Stack rock at the mouth of the pool or estuary of Broadhaven, at the head of which it stands. The house is situated on the western side of the water, on a fine eminence at the edge of a bold declivity, and before it yielded to the present noble edifice, had partly a castel- lated form, though it had been for a century before, by every addition and alteration it experienced, gradually losing its ancient and honorable baronial character, and moulding itself to the fashion of the times. However, there can be no doubt *Annals and Antiquities of Counties and County Families of Wales, by Thomas Nicholas. Vol. II, pp. 897, 836. London, 1875. ORIGIN 1 1 of its retaining much of its castle strength and massiveness at the time of the civil wars, as it was fortified and garrisoned for the king: for in the account given by the parliamentary forces of the siege they say, "The walls were so strong that the ordnance did but little execution." It surrendered on quarter, and sixty soldiers completely armed were found in the house. The mansion now occupying the same site, of wrought lime- stone, was built by the grandfather of the present noble posses- sor who was son of Sir Alexander Campbell, of Cawdor Castle in Scotland, the first of the name who settled here, by marrying Miss Lort, the sole heiress of this great property. Though there have been objections to the heaviness of its architecture, it is a large and magnificent pile and well adapted to its site. It has two fronts, the principal facing the pleasure grounds and the grand approach ; the other looking over a fine piece of water at the foot of the slope it stands on to the park. You enter the latter from a terrace of great breadth, extending the length of it, and after descending a flight of steps, continued on a lower level the whole length of a spacious conservatory, furnished with a choice collection of the rarest shrubs and plants. On the opposite side is the park, of great compass and well stocked with deer. The hills skirting the lake by the house and form- ing its boundary are richly wooded in every direction, as are the pleasure-grounds and shrubbery in front, beyond which, but completely hid, are the gardens, including the hot-houses, on an immense scale. A charming piece of water admirably planned now fills the vale under the house, which, till this change of late years took place, crept an inconsiderable stream, checked with reeds and osiers all the way to the place where it felt and was lost in the tide. The dam for altering the level, necessary to unite the water, is happily hid under an elegant bridge of eight arches, connecting the grounds on the side of the mansion with the park. The lake is most abundantly stocked with aquatic wild-fowl of every sort, if wild they may be called that collect at a call and come in flocks to dry land to be fed like barn-door poultry. The house is distributed into a number of very noble apart- ments, and the library is large and well furnished. In one of the rooms, hung round with family pictures, there is a portrait 12 STACKPOLE FAMILY whole length of Lord Cawdor, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and of Lady Cawdor by William Breechey ; and in an adjoining room an original portrait of the late Lord Holland. The offices are all well arranged, and the stables forming a detached quadrangular building are in a style of princely pretension. Of Stackpool, without straining compliment, it may be safely said that there are few places which display more magnificence \yithout or more sumptuous hospitality and elegant comfort within. This, like all baronial residences in the country, had its mill, an inseparable appendage on the little stream below it, though long since swept away ; but of which Giraldus has left a memor- able record, as connected with a most ludicrous story he relates. But to sum up the importance of Stackpool it stands in the midst of a contiguous property of fifteen thousand acres of the most valuable land without the intervention of one incapable of cultivation. The first possessor of Stackpool we hear of was Sir Elidur or Leonard de Stackpool, who stands at the head of all pedigrees of his name ; the same whom Giraldus mentions and who, no doubt, took the cross at the time Baldwin made his transit through this country preaching the crusade. From him not more than two descents were cast before the great possessions of this family fell amongst daughters, the co-heiresses of Sir Richard Stackpool, one of whom, Joan, who had Stackpool to her share, married Sir Richard Vernon of Hodnet in Stafford- shire. While the estate remained in that name I do not find any of them residing in the old baronial mansion, nor do we find it regularly inhabited again till after the year 1536 (for then the Vernons owned it), about which time the Lorts got possession of it, but whether by marriage or purchase I know not. In the family of Lort it continued till its union with that of Campbell, as I have said before, in the person of Sir Alexander Campbell, w^hose great grandson Lord Cawdor, now enjoys it. A younger son of this house, most likely a brother of the crusader, was one of the adventurers who joined Strongbow on his expedition to Ireland ; and settling there laid the founda- tion of a family of some rank m the county of Clare, where his descendants still continue, and by one of whom Lord Cawdor's grandfather was presented with two prints, one of a warrior taken I suppose from some monument ; the other of a dignified ORIGIN 1 3 clergyman of the same family, with some short account of it since its migration from Pembrokeshire. Cross the bridge to the park from which you have a delight- ful view of the house, as in the annexed plate, from the elegant pencil of Lady Cawdor, appears. A pleasant ride along the park brings me to the respectable village of Stackpool having its cross, where the ancient Lord's vassals resided, within the reach of his arbitrary call in war or peace to render their services, and where the present Lord's happier tenantry live in habita- tions that bespeak a degree of comfort and independence, which can not be felt and enjoyed as it ought but by a contrast with the humiliating picture of the feudal age. Hence I descend to a vale on the right, where a private gate was unlocked, leading through a woody avenue to the church of Cheriton, or as it is sometimes called Stackpool-Elidur from its founder, which stands at the head of this sequestered dell. The church is a plain building, but with a tower, consisting of a nave and chancel, having two small aisles on the south side, one occupied by the family pew, and the other entered from the chancel the family burying place ; and on the north side of the chancel, under a wrought canopy of stone, lies a cross-legged knight, his right hand on his sword and his left bearing his shield, evidently once painted over with his arms ; and there can be no doubt of its representing Elidur de Stackpool. The sides of the tomb are in compartments, each compartment containing a figure, but so disfigured by white-wash with which the cham- pion of the cross, as well as every other part of the monument, has been so plastered and replastered, that nothing of their character or design can be made out. On the south side of the chancel, but not under a canopy, is the efitigy of a lady, well executed in a hard yellowish stone, in a very singular costume particularly the headdress. In the family mausoleum are two monuments of a more recent date ; and in the belfry aisle two effigies, with the clerical habit and tonsure, one uninscribed and the other with an inscription too illegible to identify the dead."* *The above citation is from a "Historical Tour through Pembroke- shire" by Richard Fenton, Esq., F. A. S. London, 1811. Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, &c. It is illustrated by engravings of Stackpool Court and of the Tomb of Sir Elidur Stackpool, made in 1810 and 1809. 14 STACKPOLE FAMILY In this citation from Fenton allusion is made to a ludicrous story told by Giraldus Cambrensis or Gerald the Welshman, sometimes called Gerald de Barri, who accompanied Archbishop Baldwin of Canterbury through Wales in 1188, when Baldwin preached the crusade led by Richard the Lion-Hearted, and wrote in Latin an account of the Itinerary. The story is of in- terest and gives positive evidence by a contemporary historian of the existence of Sir Elidur and of Stackpole Court in the twelfth century. He says, "In the province of Pembrokeshire another instance occurred, about the sam.e time, of a spirit's appearing in the house of Eliodorus de Stakepole, not only sensibly but visibly, under the form, of a red-headed young man, who called himself Simon. Seizing the keys from the person to whom they were entrusted, he impudently assumed the steward's ofitice, which he managed so prudently and providently that all things seemed to abound under his care, and there was no deficiency in the house. Whatever the master or mistress secretly thought of having for their daily use or provision, he procured with wonder- ful agility, and without any previous directions, saying you wished that to be done and it shall be done for you. He was also well acquainted with their treasures and secret hoards, and sometimes upbraided them on that account ; for as soon as they seemed to act sparingly and avariciously, he used to say, "Why are you afraid to spend that heap of gold or silver, since your lives are of so short duration and the money you so cautiously hoard up will never do you any good?" He gave the choicest meat and drink to the rustics and hired servants, saying that those persons should be abundantly supplied by whose labors they were acquired. Whatever he determined should be done, whether pleasing or displeasing to his master or mistress (for as we have said before he knew all their secrets), he completed in his usual expeditious manner without their consent. He never went to church nor uttered one Catholic word. He did not sleep in the house, but was ready at his office in the morning. He was at length observed by some of the family to hold his nightly converse near a mill and a pool of water, upon which dis- covery he was removed. Simimoned the next morning before the master of the house and his lady, and receiving his discharge he delivered up the keys which he had lield for upwards of forty SIR RICHARD STACPOOLE. ORIGIN 1 5 days. Being earnestly interrogated at his departure who he was? he answered that he was begotten upon the body of a rustic in that parish by a demon in the shape of her husband ; naming the man and his father-in-law then dead and his mother still alive ; the truth of which the woman upon examination openly avowed."* It will be observed that the name is spelled variously. It seems to be of Welsh origin. It is found in an old Heraldic Visitation of Wales written Syr Elidir Ystackpwl. The Latin- ized form of Giraldus is Eliodorus which is anglicized as Elidur, Elidore, and Elidyr. Observe, too, that Giraldus spells the sur- name Stakepole, which in his day meant Stackpool. The com- mon spelling is good enough, if its original meaning is remem- bered. Fenton errs in the statement that all the old pedigrees of the Stackpole family begin with Sir Elidyr. Indeed if he had more carefully examined the old print, which he says was presented to the grandfather of the then Lord Cawdor, he would have found underneath the portrait of the knight in Norman armor the fol- lowing bit of ancient history : — jSir I^ichard jStacpoole of Pembrokeshire Wlc\o ^t^as Kriigt\ted by Williair\ tY\e Coriqileror.

The "dignified clergyman" mentioned before by Fenton was no other than John Stacpoole Esq. of Cragbrien Castle in the County of Clare, Ireland. Under his portrait it is recorded that he "departed this life the eighteenth of April 1771, at the advanced age of Ninety-Seven, retaining to that late Period the most eminent Abilities, joined to the greatest Philanthropy of Heart, so that it remained a Question whether he was most Be- loved or Admired, and though His Mansion was the Seat of the most unbounded Hospitality, His CofTers ever open to the Indi- gent and Deserving, and His Indulgence to a numerous Ten- antry seemed more like the Parent than the Landlord, to the establishment of many Families ; yet He increased His Patri- mony to that degree and purchased so many and extensive ORIGIN 1 7 Tracts of Land, as to leave behind Him one of the Largest and best Circumstanced Estates in Ireland, and so far was He from taking advantage of any One's Distress, that All who ever dealt with Him acknowledge Him as the Fairest and most Liberal of Purchasers. If Learning, Eloquence, and Graceful Ease, Sense to advise and sprightly Wit to please, And every Innate Virtue Heaven e'er gave. Could make Immortal, He had escaped the Grave." This fulsome praise reminds one of the old adage, De morhiis nil nisi bonum. It doubtless proceeded from the pen of Count George Stacpoole. There lies before me the first little volume of a work in four parts, entitled "Some Short Historical Anec- dotes, with Remarks Relative to Ireland," dedicated to John Stacpoole, Esq. of Cragbrien by his most dutiful nephew George Stacpoole and published at Corke in 1762. About this time George Stacpoole was trying to establish his claim to the extinct baronage of De la Zouche, and in 1776 he had a Genealogical Table prepared of the old Stackpole family of Pembrokeshire with the varied coats of arms of families related by marriage. It seems that it was drawn up by the College of Heraldry, and while it confirms much in the account given above, it differs in several particulars. Both accounts spell the old name Stacpoole, though it is confessed that the second o crept into the name in Ireland as late as the year 1700. The older spelling is here restored. The accoimt is as follows : — R Geriealogical Table of XYye Farr\ily of STHCKPOLE of StacKpole iiy XY\e Coilrity of PenqbroKe.

The above named engravings and Genealogical Tables are mentioned in Granger's Biographical History of England. Vol. IV, p. 359, pub- lished in 1779. ORIGIN 1 9 Additional historical light may modify also the statements of this Table. It is certain that Joan Stackpole, who married Richard Vernon, was sister, not daughter, of Isabell. In an Inquisitio post mortem Laurentii Berkrolls militis taken at Newn- ham. County Gloucester, 23 Nov. 141 1, it is stated, that "Sir Laurence held the castle, manor, and lordship of Coityf, and the manors of Newcastle, Newland, and Lanhary in the county of Glanmorgan, as one of the heirs of Richard Turberville, on whose death the inheritance of the same devolved on Sir Lau- rence as the son of Katherine, one of the sisters of the said Rich- ard ; on Isabella, daughter of Richard Stakepole, son of Mar- garet, another sister ; on John de la Beer Knt. whose descent is not stated ; and on William Gamage, son of Sarah another sister of Richard Turberville. The jurors then state that Joan, late the wife of Sir Richard Vernon, is the nearest heir of Isabella, being her sister and upwards of forty years of age.* Burke's Hist, of the Commoners says that "Sir Pain Turber- ville, Knt. of Coyty Castle, married Gwenllian, dau. of Sir Richard Talbot, Knt. and left issue, Gilbert Knt. of Coyty, d. s. p. Richard d. s. p. ; Catharine, m. to Sir Roger Berkrolls, Knt. ; Agnes, m. to Sir John de la Bere, Knt. ; Sarah, m. to Sir William Gamage, Knt., who became Lord of Coyty ; and Margaret, m. to Sir Richard Stackpole, Knt." Burke's Peerage (p. 1430 Ed. of 1895) says that "Sir Richard de Vernon, Knt. of Haddon and Ilarleston, b. 1370, m. Johanna, second dau. and heiress with her sister Isabella of Richard Stack- pole. (After her sister Isabella's death, who was widow of Rice ap Griffith, sh.e became possessed of the Griffith and Somerville estates.) Sir Richard Vernon died in 1401, leaving two sons and two daughters." As to the correctness of these pedigrees of the early Stack- In the Table the name of the second son of Sir William is not given. The opinion has been stated that this was Sir Elidyr, the crusader. His daughter's name is not given. About this time a Mary Stackpole mar- ried Richard Champney, Esq., whose ancestor is found in the Roll of Battle Abbey. — Burke's Hist, of the Commoners. Vol. III., p. 556. *Et dicunt quod Johanna que fuit uxor Ric'i Vernon chivaler est pro- pinquor heres predicte Isabella, vid'l't. filia predicte Ric'i Stakepole filii predicte Margarete, et est etatis XL annorum et amplius. See Topog- rapher and Genealogist Vol. i., pp. 534-5. London, 1846. 20 STACKPOLE FAMILY poles of Pembrokeshire, there is reason to beheve, from informa- tion at the Herald's College at London, that old MSS. are there preserved on which the pedigrees are founded. That they are not based on imagination is also proved by the fact that the mis- take concerning Joan, wife of Sir Richard Vernon, is based on the authority of the Harleian MSS. which contain the two fol- lowing entries : — " Richardus Vernon de H addon, mil. m. Jennefta filia Richardus Griffith, militis, consanguinico ct hccres Rich. Stakcpoole, niilitis." "Sir Richard Vernon of the Peak m. Jone, dau. of Sir Ric. Grififith by Isabel, dau. and coheir of Sir Ric. Stackpole." Dr. Powell's translation of Caradoc's Plist. of Wales, editions of 1774, 1812 and 1832, gives Stackpole pedigrees agreeing in the main with the above, and evidently derived from them, since the pedigrees are not found in his editions of 1584 and 1697. There were two extinct baronages of De la Zouche, and Count George Stacpoole, above mentioned and to be further mentioned in the next chapter, laid claim by mistake to the wrong one. Among some papers at Cragbrien was found a translation of a French Document by M. Manguen, who was legal agent in the suit of the heirs of Count Stacpoole, which states that "George might have become Lord de la Zouche Codnor and Ashby His rights, which are proven by two acts of heraldic inquest, were acknowledged by George HL on the report of Lord Exeter. Two tables are added to this, extracted from two heraldic works printed, engraved and published under the warrant of the King at Arms, a Royal oflficer in England. There may also be seen, on page 329 of the volume annexed, the veracity of this descent and of the foregoing claims, which are subjects of public notoriety in the three kingdoms." The "acts of heraldic inquest" are, doubtless, the two given above, and the "volume annexed" is Vol. I. of Select Views in Leicester- shire, by J. Throsby (1789), which at page 329 mentions the m.arriage of the daughter of Alan de la Zouche to Robert Stac- poole. "Alan, Lord Zouche, died in 71st year of Edward H., leaving his successor Alan and three daughters. Isabella, the eldest, was married to Robert Stacpoole, the descendant of Guil- laume de Stackpoole de Montvalai, who came over with William the Conqueror at the same time with Alan-de-la-zouch. The ORIGIN 2 1 said Robert and his wife afterwards settled in Ireland and were the founders of the family in that kingdom.* It is clear that the Isabella, dau. of Lord de la Zouch could not have married the Robert Stackpole who entered Ireland at the time of Strongbow's conquest, nearly two centuries earlier. The family was well established in Ireland before this marriage. This second Robert may have been the Mayor of Dublin of that name, to be mentioned in the next chapter. Here may be cited the statement of Edward Laws, "The Stackpoles of County Clare, there can be little doubt, are descended from Robert de Stackpole, a brother of Sir Elidur de Stackpole of Stackpole, Pembroke. "f It is noticeable that all these pedigrees make no mention of Sir Elid3T who is certainly a veritable historical character. No reconciliation is attempted. The records of that time are too meager. It is certain that some knight of Norman descent set- tled about the end of the eleventh century in Pembrokeshire and called himself from the locality of his castle "de Stakepol," i. e. Stack-pool. He may have been the Sir Richard of the engrav- ing and his father may have been the " Guillaume de Montvalai," who is said to have come over with the Concj[ueror. His descendants for three centuries lived at Stackpole Court, which finally passed by way of marriage of its heiress into the family of Vernon, then of the Lorts, then of the Campbells of Cawdor Castle in Scotland. "Elizabeth, sister and heir of Sir Gilbert Lort, Bart, of Stackpole Court, married, 1689, Sir Alexander Campbell of Cawdor, and their son and heir, John Campbell, married, 1726, Mary, dau. and coheir of Lewis Pryse of Gogar- then, being parents of Pryse Campbell, the father of the first Baron Cawdor.

JThe Complete Peerage of Great Britain, Vol. II. p. 20. 22 STACKPOLE FAMILY Campbell, born 1817, died 29 March 1898 and was buried in the Church of Stackpole-Elidyr. His oldest son, formerly Viscount Evelyn, born 1847, succeeded to the Earldom. Before leaving this part of the subject it may be proper to speak of a visit made to the ancient cradle of the family, Stack- pole Court, in July 1897. Setting out on foot from Pembroke early in the morning, I spent the entire day in visiting the estate of Lord Cawdor. The road winds over hill and dale through rolling land of great fertility, divided into pastures and meadows "by picturesque hedge-rows. Surely the old Normans can be for- given for having been captivated by the extensive prospects of natural wealth and beauty. At the end of an avenue of trees the porter's lodge is seen with broad meadows beyond. A mile further on is the Keeper's House, upon which the sunbeams pour through an opening in the dense foliage. The lands of the Earl are heavily wooded with beech, fir, chestnut and lime trees, round which twines luxuriant ivy. Well made drives and walks wind throughout the estate. The present approach to the mansion is hy a bridge of a single large arch, the eight-arch bridge, described by Fenton, being a mile further south and now little used. The house has been remodeled since Fenton's time. Porticoes and projections in front relieve the monotony of the lengthy struc- ture. The spacious lawn in front is tastefully broken by shrub- bery here and there, and trees with wide-spreading branches bound it on the north and east. The stables are to the south of the lawn, at right angles with the house, and half concealed by vines and foliage. The Earl being away, I was courteously .shown through the principal apartments by the house-keeper. The entrance is adorned with weapons and armor, and leads by easy ascent immediately to the elegantly furnished drawing- room, which runs lengthwise through the middle of the mansion. In front is the dining-room ; the library extends through a suite of rooms on the west side. It contains about ten thousand vol- umes of choicest books in elegant bindings. The walls of all the rooms are almost as profusely decorated as a picture gallery with paintings, especially portraits of several generations of the family. I was shown a portion of the cellar, whose ribbed vault is thought to preserve the original architecture of the old castle POST-OFFICE AT STACKPOLE, WALES. (iniiiii of Scliool-Chilihrn. ORIGIN 23 inhabited by Sir Elidyr Stackpole. A picture of it may be seen in Laws' History of Little England above cited. In the rear of the mansion is a broad terrace overlooking the artificial pond which stretches two miles or more toward the sea. The view from this point is charming. The conservatory of flowers adjoins it on the north side. After partaking of refreshments hospitably offered I wan- dered through the shady walks to the village called Stackpole, where dwell the tenants of Lord Cawdor. There is, about the village, an appearance of neatness, comfort and contentment, if not of wealth. If a wage of fourteen shillings per week is not high, certainly the rent of a pretty thatched cottage, with garden and cow, for four pounds per annum is not exorbitant. The children were happily gathered, to the number of about one hundred, in a school taught by a master and two lady assistants. The children were bright, intelligent and fairly well clothed. The ancient cross mentioned by Fenton is broken down and fallen mto decay. I next proceeded to the church of Stackpole-Elidyr. The old large square tower testifies to its Norman origin. The rest of the church has been repaired and rebuilt repeatedly, yet the general style of the original architecture has been preserved. It is not large, will accommodate perhaps two hundred persons. It is in the form of the Latin Cross, without aisles. In the chancel is the object of chief interest, the reputed monument of Sir Elidyr Stackpole, with the knight stretched out in efifigy on the top. There is no inscription visible. One side and the base are hidden by recent masonry. The efifigy is cut in limestone, rep- resenting him as clad in Norman mail of fine-linked steel, show- ing only a portion of the face with a slight mustache. There are small defences in plate armor for elbows, wrists, knees and legs below the knees. A long straight sword is in the grasp of his right hand, and a kite-shaped shield rests on his left arm. A dog lies as a support for his feet. If the shield ever bore a coat of arms painted thereon, as Fenton suggests, it is no longer traceable, though the greater part of the whitewash has been removed from the monument. The legs are crossed at the knee after the manner of crusaders. The sarcophagus rests beneath a sculptured arch. There are six short figures on its 24 STACKPOLE FAMILY frieze, in high rehef, apparently in oriental costume. Three are males, three females. The effigy of his wife on the south side of the chancel has two small dogs at her feet, also two kneeling females, while two males support her pillowed head. The headdress is indeed sin- gular and indescribable. An elaborate poke-bonnet is the only suggestion I offer. Four figures are on the frieze in high relief, two of them clad in Norman mail and sword. On the south side of the chancel and opening from it is a small chantry, in which what is said to be the original stone altar is preserved. It is supposed to be of the seventh century and may have been originally a tombstone. The same chantry con- tains two ancient effigies without inscription, a mask of some warrior clad in Norman mail (perhaps it was the Sir Richard of the engraving), mural and floor inscriptions, commemorating the Lorts and Campbells from 1613 A.D. downwards, in which the Court is called Stackpoole, Stackpool and Stackpole. All around the church sleep long and quietly the generations that have filled the past eight centuries. The rector kindly received me, invited me to lunch and afterward showed me through the grounds of Lord Cawdor. After leaving him I walked by a narrow winding path along the margin of the pond or inlet two miles or so to Broadhaven, at the mouth of which is the Stack Rock which gives the name to the Pool. It stands several hundred yards from the shore and may rise to the height of one hundred feet, an irregular mass of wave-beaten rock. It vv'as, doubtless, eight centuries ago much larger than it now is. The Pool, which once was probably an inlet of two miles or more in length and a refuge for vessels, is now filled up with sand nearly to its mouth, a process hastened by the building of a dam to create an artificial pond. The sand barrens on the clifT are an excellent rabbit warren. The view of Stackpole Head, a mas- sive promontory, is bold and beautiful. Just around it is a little port and wharf called Stackpole Quay, which with its surround- ings forms one of the most pleasing views on the estate. The name Stackpole seems to have died out in Wales, and the persons of that name now residing in London and Liverpool are descended from the branch in Clare County, Ireland. There is a street called Stackpole Road in Bristol, Eng., showing that SIR ELIDYR STACKPOLE. ORIGIN 25 a branch of the family once hved there, but none of that name can now be found. In the Modern Domesday Book or Hst of land-ownefs of England and Wales, published in 1873, there is a Mrs. Stackpole residing in Wilts. I learned from a Mr. Stac- poole in London that she died not long ago, leaving a property worth half a million of dollars, and no heir could be found. Of ancient English Stackpoles, besides those already named, history mentions only a few. Eustachius de Stakepole is said, by Giraldus Cambrensis, to have had money extorted from him by the Bishop of St. David's, toward the end of the twelfth cen- tury. The Calendar of Patent Rolls mentions "David de Stake- pole, parson of the church at Okeford in 1297"; also "Adam Stakpol, chaplain, who has estate in the chantry of St. Edmond, in the church of Wodyton, in the Isle of Wight," in 1380; also "Sir Richard de Stakepol," witness to a writing of Aymer de Valencia, Earl of Pembroke, dated 15 May 1331. The family seems never to have been numerous in Wales and England, but rather to have early emigrated to Ireland and to have multiplied there. Now the name is dying out gradually in Ireland by reason of many emigrations to foreign lands. II. THE STACKPOLES IN IRELAND In the pedigrees already given Robert Stackpole is said to have gone over to Ireland with Strongbow in the year 1168. In a History of the City of Dublin* an alphabetical list is given of such adventurers as arrived in Ireland during the first sixteen years from the invasion of Strongbow, collected partly from the Histories of Maurice Regan and Giraldus Cambrensis and partly from manuscript records. In this list at the end of the R's there IS a Robert . Maurice Regan mentions a knight, Rob- ert , killed in Connaught. This may have been the Robert Stackpole of the Genealogical Table. Mr. Thomas F. Westropp of Dublin, who has given much study to the history of the Stackpole family and has rendered me great assistance, says that "Walter Stackpole's name is on the 1190 Roll of Dub- lin Citizens. Elias Stackpole was Provost (Mayor) of Cork in 1249, and Richard and Simon Stackpole were on a jury in 1282." The Calendar of State Papers mentions Philip and John Stack- pole as tenants near Dublin in 125 1. Walter and William Stakepol are mentioned, in the Register of the Abbey of St. Thomas, made earlier than 1268, as sometime land-owners in Dublin, John and William Stakepoll were at Dublin in 1301. The following are on record as officials in Dublin : John Stakebold, Bailiff, 1308; Robert Stakbold, Bailiff, 1374; Robert Stakebold, Provost, 1376 and 1386.! This Robert may have been the one who married Isabella, dau. of Lord De la Zouche, mentioned in first chapter, *By Warburton, Whitelaw and Walsh, 1818. Vol. I., pp. 154-6. fWalter Harris' History and Antiquities of the City of Dublin, 1766, p. 498. THE STACKPOLES IN IRELAND 27 There is evidence that the family was numerous in Cork in the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Besides EHas Stackpole, the Provost of 1249, there were John and Agnes, his wife, in 1291 ; Abraham, Mayor in 1321 ; EHas, Mayor in 1342 ; Andrew, Sheriff in 1392. In the Counties of Kerry and Meath also Stackpoles are mentioned. In Irish church history the Stackpoles appear. "Patrick Stackboll, late Abbot of the Rock of Cashel" is mentioned in 1554; "Redmond Stacbolde," son of the Dean of Cashel, in 1571 ; "William Stacboll," the Lord Butler's Chaplain, in 1538; ^'Sir Philip Stackpole (in parentheses is added Stackbold) priest, dwelling at Kiltenan," in 1590; "William Stacpoolle," a scholar at Cashel, who receives two vicarages, in 1607. At a Parliament held at Drogheda, in 1460, Sir Thomas Barthe was summoned to appear for outrage upon Dr. John Stackbolle, one of the dignitaries of the Abbey of Navan. (He was rector of Kilberry in 1449.) Barthe had robbed Stackbolle and sent ruffians to the Abbey, who kidnapped him, cut out his tongue and put out his eyes. He was carried back to the Abbey and cast before the image of the Blessed Virgin, and by her grace, mediation and miraculous power he was restored to sight and speech.* During the fifteenth century there was a large emigration from other parts of Ireland to Limerick. The Stackpoles dis- appear in the history of Dublin and of Cork and are found in Limerick in prominent positions. Descendants of the Limerick Stackpoles are found again in Cork and Dublin two centuries later. The Histories of Limerick by Ferrar (1767), Fitzgerald and McGregor (1826), and Lenihan (1866), all give chronological lists of Provosts and BailifTs, or, as they were called after 1609, Mayors and Sheriffs. They agree substantially, with only slight variations. The following is the list of magistrates bearing the name Stackpole, variously spelled by these historians: — Maurice Stackpole Bailiff 1455 A.D. John Stackpole Bailiff 1466, '68, '71, '74, '85 Maurice Stackpole Bailiff 1489 Maurice Stackpole Provost 1492 Philip Stackpole Bailiff 1487 Philip Stackpole Provost 1500 *Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquarians of Ireland, 1893, p. 60. 28 STACKPOLE FAMILY Thomas Stackpole Bailiff 1497 John Stackpole Bailiff 1499 Robert Stackpole Bailiff 1501 Robert Stackpole Provost 15 13 Richard Stackpole Bailiff 1530 James Stackpole Bailiff 1 542 John Stackpole Bailiff 1547 John Stackpole Provost 1555 Thomas Stackpole Bailiff 1559 Leonard Stackpole Bailiff 1 589 Bartholomew Stackpole Bailiff 1596 James Stackpole Sheriff 1626 Philip Stackpole Sheriff 1688 This list shows that the Stackpoles were numerous and prominent at Limerick. It is of interest to notice their names up to the last date. Since their appearance in Ireland, history, so far as I have been able to gather it, records the name Robert Stackpole five times ; Richard, five ; James, five ; John, ten ; Nich- olas, two ; Philip, three ; William, three ; Maurice, three ; Thomas, three ; Bartholomew, two ; Walter, two ; Elias, three ; Andrew, two ; Patrick, two ; Simon, Abraham, Clement, Leon- ard, Isabel, Lucy, Mary, Juliana, Joanna, Agnes, Ellen, Chris- tian, Dymphna, Catherine, Gennett, and Margaret once each. Scarcely an Irish name appears. The most are of Norman origin. After the beginning of the fifteenth century James, John, Philip and William are found in almost every family and generation of the Stackpoles. We come now to an historical character, of whom there is more definite information. Bartholomew Stackpole, who is mentioned as a merchant in Limerick, in 1591, and appears in the above list as Bailiff, in 1596, had a son James, who married Christian, daughter of Nicholas Comyn, by whom he had a son, Bartholomew, born in 1619, who married Mary, daughter of Dr. Thomas F. Arthur. This Bartholomew Stackpole was Recorder of Limerick and signed the capitulation of that city to the troops of Cromwell commanded by Gen. Henry Ireton, 27 Oct., 165 1. He, with several Stackpoles, was "transplanted" to County Clare, i. e. they were deprived of their estates, and other estates of one third, or in some cases of two thirds, their value were assigned THE STACKPOLES IN IRELAND 29 to them. The transplantation certificates of the Stackpoles give us a picture of the family two and a half centuries ago and read as follows : — " 1653. Bartholomew Stackpoole of Limerick made a decla- ration that he was aged 34 years, of indifferent tall stature, flaxen hair ; John Stackpoole, aged 28 years, tall stature, flaxen hair ; Thomas Stackpoole ; James Stackpoole, son to the said Bathw. S., aged 10; Christian, daur. to the said Barthw., aged 8; Diphna, another dau. of the said B., aged 6 years ; Arthur, son to the said Barthw." John and Thomas were brothers of Barthol- omew. There were also transplanted "Clement Stacpoll, aged 26 years, flaxen hair, low stature ; Ellis, his wife, black hair, tall stature"; also "Ignatius Stacpoole of Limerick, orphant, aged eleven years, flaxen hair, full face, low stature ; Katherine Stac- poole, orphant, sister to the said Ignatius, aged eight years, flaxen hair, full face, having no substance to relieve themselves, but desireth the benefit of his claim before the Commissioners of the revenue."* Bartholomew Stackpole settled at Enagh, where he named his residence "STACKPOLE COURT" in commemoration of the old cradle of the family in Pembrokeshire, showing that the Norman origin of the family was well known two centuries and a half ago, and showing too, how the name was then spelled. " Its picturesque ivied ruins stand among the lakes of Kilki- shen." Bartholomew's daughter, Dymphna, married Col. Ed- mond Pery, ancestor of the Earls of Limerick. Their son, the Rev. Stackpole Pery, married Jane, daughter of Archdeacon Twigg of Limerick and left two sons and several daughters. Edmond Sexten Pery, his heir, born 1718, was Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, and was raised to the Peerage as Vis- count Pery in 1786. One of the titles of the Earl of Limerick (1809-1844), found upon his sarcophagus in the Pery Chapel of Limerick Cathedral, is "Baron Foxford of Stackpole Court in the County of Clare." Through the marriage of Dymphna a large portion of the estates of Bartholomew Stackpole descended to the Earl of Limerick, which he still holds. *Copied from MSS. of the Stacpoole family of Edenvale, Ennis, Co. Clare, Ireland, and the last two from Prendergast's Cromwellian Settle- ments of Ireland, p. 3S- The original transplantation certificates are in the Record Tower, Dublin, unless now transferred to the Inns of the Four Courts. III. THE STACKPOLE COAT OF ARMS The Harleian Roll of Arms, assigned by the Encyclopaedia Britannica to the reign of Henry III. (1216-1272), by others placed a little later, contains the name " Stakepol."* In the Parliamentary Roll of Arms,t of date about 1300 A. D. IS found in old Norman French the following : — Sire Richard de stakcpol dc argent a nil lion rampant de gonles od le Coler dc or. i. e. a red rampant lion having a gold collar, on a silver shield. This is the coat of arms of the old Pembrokeshire Stackpoles of Stack- pole Court, to which all Stackpoles are equally entitled as an historical emblem, and to which no one is entitled by strict laws of heraldry, since no one can prove a direct descent. The Edenvale branch of the family, in Ireland, assumed it some time ago, at first without the gold collar, and have added a crest viz. "On a ducal coronet a pelican in her piety, all ppr." i. e. a pelican feeding in their nest three of her young with drops of blood drawn from her own breast, according to an old legend. Under the Arms is the motto, PRO DEO ET PRO P ATRIA ; over the Crest, I DIE FOR THOSE I LOVE. Some of this family a century ago, either by mistake or as a mark of cadency, reversed the colors and had a silver lion on a red shield. The origin of the Crest is probably as follows. Over the door of the Sexten Vault, outside the wall of the Pery Chapel of St. Mary Cathedral, Limerick, is a corbel in the center flanked to the left with a seven-headed dragon as type of Antichrist and to the right with a pelican as type of Christ. The bird is pour- ing its blood over its dying young to revive them, not feeding *See Genealogist, London, Vol. III. New Series, p. 40. tSee Genealogist. Vol. XII. p. 273. THE STACKPOLE COAT OF ARMS 3 1 them as in the present Crest. Both are symboHc, one of the atonement, the other of the sacrament. Finding this device on their old burial place the Stackpoles adopted the good emblem as a Crest, and the English motto is, of course, derived from it and is quite superfluous. It dates, perhaps, from about 1500 A.D. In the earliest Stackpole seal of the family in Ireland, about 1760, the pelican's young are omitted. Edmondson's Complete Body of Heraldry (London, 1780) under the name Stakepoule, gives another coat of arms, "Az. a chev. ar. betw. three cresents or," i. e. on a blue field a silver chevron between three golden crescents. In later works on her- aldry this does not appear, and the branch of the family that bore it is presumably extinct. Burke's General Armory for 1878 gives also the following: — "Stackpoole. Or. an heraldric tiger pass. sa. Crest. — On a rock a fort in flames." It is not known to what branch of the family this belongs. IV. PEDIGREE OF THE CLARE CO. STACPOOLES The following pedigrees are based upon the MS. of Mr. Thomas George Stacpoole Mahon (1883) annotated, revised and enlarged by Mr. Thomas J. Westropp (1888). Mr. Mahon based his work on an Edenvale pedigree, "originally dictated by William Stacpoole of Claghanatinny, in Paris, in 1824, on the occasion of the great law-suit there against Count George Stac- poole," and compiled by Mr. Francis Moore, dated at Paris Aug. 15, 1844. Mr. Mahon made extensive investigations, which have been amply supplemented by Mr. Westropp. I have ventured to make a few modifications and additions, warranted by a study of Wills at Dublin and by a registered pedigree found at the Her- ald's College at Dublin, though the historical vahie of the last has been doubted. There are numerous obscure branches of the Stackpole family in Ireland, and ofTshoots from them have come to the United States from time to time, especially during the present century. It has been, of course, impossible to trace all these, yet herein may be found some hints which may help any of the name to find their ancestry. The names of a few, who died young or without issue, have been omitted in the following Diagrams. PEDIGREE OF THE CLARE CO.

It is presumable that John and Thomas, brothers of Barthol- omew Stackpole, died without issue. They were living in 1685. The male line of the senior branch of Clement .Stackpole be- came extinct by the death of Count George Stacpoole in Paris. He was educated at Cork and was for a time at Oxford. In 1763 he was High Sheriff of Clare County. He inherited the estates of his uncle John of Cragbrien, who died intestate in 1771. George went to live in Grosvenor Place, London, and finally in Paris, where Louis XVIII. made him a Count because of his wealth. At his decease in 1824 he is said to have had £600,000 deposited at Lafitte's Bank in Paris. The litigation, which had been going on fifty years between him and the next of kin, was continued after his death, his will in favor of his illegitimate son having been set aside. This son, from whom are descended the French Stacpooles, was Richard Fitz George Stacpoole, born 17 Aug. 1787. His mother was Kitty Gingell, who died at Sidmouth 28 Oct. 1809. He m. Betsey, dau. of Major Francis and Margery (Simpson) Tulloch. The suits were compromised in 1828, half of the property in dispute going to this son and half to the next of kin of the Count and of his uncle. The Count's mother, Katherine, once had an adventure which is related in Froude's English in Ireland. In Jan. 1776, the Count had the portrait of Sir Richard Stacpoole engraved, as a letter shows. In Aug. 1897 I met a priest in Dublin Avho said that a Mar- quis Stacpoole of France not long before became a priest, after being left a widower, and that he came to Ireland to witness the marriage of his son to an Irish lady. These were doubtless descendants of Count George. I have heard that they own a Chateau of some pretensions in the sovith of France and rank among the nobility.

William, son of George Stacpoole of Annagh, was graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1766, and lived in Bath, Eng., in 1774-75, where his first wife died 2 Nov. 1775 and was buried in Bath Abbey "in the center aisle opposite the old Bishop's Mon- ument." He was High Sherifif in 1784. Mary Stacpoole who married John McMahon had some dis- tinguished sons. They were Sir John McMahon, Private Sec- retary to the Prince Regent, d. 1817; Sir Thomas McMahon G. C. B., Col. of loth Foot, d. i860; and Sir William McMahon, Master of the Rolls, d. 1837. In letters found at Edenvale, written a century or so ago, mention is made of "Frank" Stacpoole, a soldier, as revisiting the place. He disappeared and all trace of him is lost in the family records. A Francis Stacpoole, connected with the Eden- vale family, was first cabin boy in the Merchant Service, then Capt. and part owner of a vessel. He was captured with his vessel in the time of Napoleon I. and detained as a prisoner on parole at Dieppe, France, for five years. He afterwards came to New York and, about 1829, married Adaline Bennett, dau. of John (b. 16 Sept. 1782; d. 7 May 1822) and Hannah Elenor Ben- nett (b. 15 April 1788; d. 12 Feb. 1826). She was born in N. Y. 18 Feb. 1812 and died in N. Y. 5 March 1870. Francis Stacpoole d. at Center Meriches, N. Y. 16 Sept. 1874, aged about 95 years. He had a brother Christopher Stacpoole who m. Hannah E. Bennett of N. Y. and d. s. p. 11 Sept. 1851, aged 65 years. Francis Stacpoole was, doubtless, son of William Stac- poole of Edenvale (1743-1796), and the family record has been imperfectly kept. His children, all born in N. Y., were : 38 STACKPOLE FAMILY I.

Burke says further that Anne, youngest dau. of Phihp, m. John Roche, Esq., b. 1688. Her distinguished pos- terity may be learned from Burke ; also that Philip had three brothers who fell in the battle of Aughrim. St. Mary's Cathedral and churchyard surrounding it is^ doubtless, the burial place of many generations of Stackpoles. Nicholas Stackpole of Limerick, merchant, made his will 5 Jan. 1622 and expressed the desire to be buried in St. George's Chapel in St. Mary's Cathedral. He names in his will Nicholas, John and James, wife Phillis, and brothers James and John. The first two generations of Diagram V. are taken from the Registered Pedigree at Dublin. The rest is supported by care- ful investigation. It is noticeable that the first Philip of Dia- gram V. has a son James of . Nothing more is known of him in Ireland. He is mentioned at precisely the time that James Stackpole, the emigrant, appeared in America. The emi- grant named his first son Philip, doubtless for his father. He had also sons named James, John, and William, thus repeating the family names we have found most frequent in Limerick. These facts suggest a probable connection. The wars and religious contentions of that time, by which Ireland was ren- dered more perilous than the savage wilds of America, may have induced him, as they did so many others, to seek his fortune in the new world. It is possible that he spent a short time in Sligo, as tradition says, but this will be examined more minutely in the following chapter. All evidences point to Limerick as the home for many generations of the immediate ancestors of James Stack- pole, the emigrant of circa 1680. V. JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT In a list of those who paid taxes in Dover, N. H., and vicin- ity, in April 1680, under the heading "Cocheco Province Rate," is found with others the name of "James Stagpoll," who was taxed two shillings and one penny.* This is the earliest men- tion of any Stackpole in America. It must have been in the same year that he, with many of the inhabitants of Kittery, York, and Wells, signed a petition to King Charles II., asking for abatement of taxes. f In the inventory of the estate of John Bready of Kittery, 9 Oct. 1681 is found this item, "due from James Stagpoole 22s." $ It is evident from these records that James Stackpole was liv- ing within the limits of Dover township before 1680. That town then included what is now Dover, Somersworth, Rollinsford, Madbury, Lee, Durham, and portions of Newington and Green- land. Though taxed with Cocheco settlers, we are not to infer that he lived at Cocheco proper, where Dover city now is. He was rated with the inhabitants there rather than with those of Dover Neck because he lived nearer the former place. The eastern limit of Cocheco settlement was the Salmon Falls River, or as it is called in the lower part of its course the Newichawan- nock. Near the river and a short distance from Quamphegan (South Berwick) he probably lived at this time, as it is certain that he did some years later. Thomas Hanson and others *See Collections of N. H. Historical Society. Vol. VIII. p. 60. tSee Collections Maine Historical Society. Vol. IV. p. 511. JYork Deeds, Book V., Part L, Fol. 14. 46 STACKPOLE FAMILY known to have lived near Quamphegan are found in the same tax-list. Quamphegan was then a parish of Kittery, called some- times Berwick, sometimes the "Parish of Unity." Pascataqua Settlement was incorporated as the town of Kittery in 1647, the first incorporated town of Maine. It extended thirty miles along the Pascataqua, Newichawannock and Salmon Falls rivers, and included the present towns of Kittery, Eliot, South Berwick, Berwick, and North Berwick. Dr. Alonzo Quint is responsible for the statement that James Stackpole "was born 1653, had a grant 1694, died 23 Aug. 1733-"* I know not on what authority this statement is made. Aug. 23, 1732, James Stacpole of Dover, N. H., aged eighty years, deposed concerning one Edward Toogood, that "sundry years before Salmon Falls was destroyed by the Indians," said Toogood lived there, etc. This fixes the date of his birth, 1652, and shows that he was well acquainted with Salmon Falls sundry years before 1689.! The date of his death is probably a typo- graphical error, as it can be shown that he died in 1736. The grant of land referred to was as follows : — "April ye II, 1694. By the committee chosen by the freeholders of ye town of Dover for granting land, given and granted unto James Stag- pole his heirs and assigns forever, fifty acres of land above Indigo Hill near Salmon Falls River, not intrenching upon any former grant. The above grant voted and confirmed in generall. Will Furber, clerk of 3d Com. Town meeting the i6th day of April 1694 Jno. Tuttle, Town Clerk." It is quite certain that he never lived on this grant. The town records of Kittery declare that, 16 July 1702, there were lotted and laid out to James Stagpole Senr. twenty acres of land, part of a grant made in 1694 to Gilbert Warren, the said Stag- pole having evidently acquired right to the land. Four acres of it were on the north side of the Great Works River ; the rest on the south side, extending to the York line, adjoining Warren's land. This land passed into the possession of James Stackpole Jr. and was willed by him to his brother John in 1706. May 20, 1728, John Stackpole sold it to Gilbert Warren. *N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register. Vol. VIII. 1854, p. 68. fCounty Records at Alfred, Me. JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 47 The Court of Sessions at York, Me., 4 July 1693, made the following record, "Lycence is Granted to James Stagpole of barwick to sell by retaile beere. Cyder, rum, provision and lodging, he giving ten pounds bond to their Maties to observe the laws in that case provided."* The license was renewed an- nually up to 1698, and his place was called a "publick house of entertainment," known in later phraseology as a tavern or hotel. A supply of ardent spirits at such places was in those times the rule without exception. It is true that this, as usual, led to some disorders, and James Stackpole was complained of, and indeed once fined twenty shillings and admonished ; yet his license was at the same time renewed. Perhaps the admonition led him to sell out in 1699 and move back to the New Hampshire side of the river. "James Stackpole Senr." bought land in Berwick, 2 Nov. 1696, for fifteen pounds and sold the same, 22 Nov. 1699, to "John Wade Minstr." The deed is from "James StackpoU of Dover in New Hampshier, husbandman." The land was three and one-fourth acres, "near the meeting house," bounded on the southeast by the way going from the Great Work to the River, northwest by the burying place, "with all the housing, trees, fences and Privileges pertaining thereto. "f The burying place still is used and enables us to designate the spot where he lived in Berwick. It is on the hill just south of Great Works River. A church stood close to the cemetery, on the east side, and John Wade was its first minister. James Stackpole lived a short dis- tance east of the church. He married, quite certainly before 1680, Margaret, daughter of James and Margaret Warren of the parish of Berwick. James Warren, as will be shown a little later, came from Berwick, Scot- land, and his wife was a native of Ireland. He settled in Ber- wick, Me., soon after 1650. In a deed, dated 15 July 1656, he is mentioned as owner of a lot of land bordering on the river, at Great Works. There was lotted and laid out to James Warren, 15 July 1656, by Humphrey Chadbourne, land on the south side of John Taylor's lot, "by the water side."$ He may have been one of those prisoners taken at the battle of Dunbar, in 165 1, *York Deeds, Vol. V.

Many of them were sent down to Maine and settled in the upper part of York, which is still known as "Scotland." The saw and grist mills at Great Works led many of these settlers to pass from York to the par- ish of Unity, and hence it is said to have been called Berwick from the Scotch home of some of its early inhabitants, though some assign a different origin to the name. James and Margaret Warren had five children : — 1. Gilbert b. in 1656, as shown by a deposition. He made his will 2 April 1728 (Probated 17 April 1733) and mentioned his wife Sarah and daughters Jane Stockbridge, Margaret Hear!, and son-in-law John Thompson. 2. Margaret, married James Stackpole. 3. Jane (?) James Warren's will mentions a granddaughter, Jane Grant. This implies a third daughter. In the Dover Hist. Coll. is recorded a marriage, by the Rev. John Pike, of William Grant to Jane Warren, 4 Aug. 1690. This is probably the daughter of James Warren. The name of Grizel, her sister, is found more than once among later members of the Grant family of Kittery. 4. James Jr. m. Mary . Became one of the Select- men of Kittery. The town records mention the following chil- <iren, Mary b. 23 Feb. 1692 ; Margaret b. 5 Nov. 1694 ; James b. ■8 June 1698; Rachel b. 26 Aug. 1700, d. 13 Sept. 1703; Gilbert b. 30 April 1703; John b. 16 Dec, 1705. 5. Grizel, whose story has often been told, b. 6 March 1662; m. Richard Otis. His first wife was Rose, dau. of Anthony Stoughton, and probably came with him from England. He is mentioned in the Boston Records 28 May 1655. The next year he was taxed at Dover, N. H., where he lived as a blacksmith. His second wife was Shuah, widow of James Heard. His third wife was Grizel Warren. He and their daughter, Hannah Otis, were killed by the- Indians in the Dover massacre, the morning of 28 June 1689, the latter having her head dashed against the chamber stairs. Twenty-two were killed and twenty-nine were carried as captives to Canada, among the latter Grizel (Warren) Otis and her babe, Margaret, three months old. They were instructed by French priests and baptized in the Roman Catholic Church, receiving new names in baptism. The Canadian record is as follows : — JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 49 "Mary Madeleine Warren, daughter of James of Berwick, Scotland, and Margaret (an Irishwoman,) born 6 March 1662, in New England, taken in War 18 (28) June 1689; baptized 9 May 1693; married ist Richard Theys (Otis); 2d 15 Oct. 1693 Philip Robitaile, in Montreal, in the service of M. de Maricour.'' Robitaile was son of Jean and Martine (Carmont) Robitaile, from Biencourt, Province d'Artois, France. They had five children: Phillipe bap. 5 Feb. 1695; George bap. 19 April 1701, d. 1703; Jacques bap. 29 Jan. 1697; Jean bap. 10 March 1699; Marguerite bap. 2 April 1703, m. 13 April 1722 Jean Baptiste Biron of Montreal."' Grizel lived to the age of 89 years and was buried 27 Oct. 1750. Her daughter was baptized as Christine, and m. 14 June 1707, a Frenchman whose surname was Le Beau and whose first name resembled, in English, Sharrington, a name that has been handed down among her descendants in the Baker and Stack- pole families. After the death of her husband, 26 Feb. 1713, she was not permitted to have her children who were brought up in a convent. She returned to her friends in Dover, N. H., and married Capt. Thomas Baker of Northampton, Mass., by whom she had seven children. They moved to Dover about 1734, where she died 23 Feb. 1773, having lived "a pattern of industry, prudence and economy." Her granddaughter, Lucy Baker, married Joshua Stackpole of Somersworth, N. H., and was the mother of Lieut. Samuel Stackpole of the Revolutionary Army. James Warren died in 1702. His will made Dec. 9, 1700, contains the following items : I doe give unto my Daughter Margaret Stagpoal five shillings. I doe give unto my Granson James Stagpoal one heifer and one ewe and a young sow. The foregoing will was probated 24 Dec. 1702; recorded 14 Jan. 1702-3. Inventory returned 15 Dec. 1702, at £228:5:4 by Peter Grant and William Goodwin appraisers. The will of Margaret Warren, made Dec. 13, 1712, has this item: I give and bequeath unto my Daughter Margret Stackpole my Great Brass Kittle and two Blankits and one Coverlid and Ten yardes of Woling Cloath and my Greate Wooden Platter and one pare of sheets and all my wareing Cloath. *See N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg. 1851 and 1893. 50 STACKPOLE FAMILY James Stackpole, 20 May 1710, received a deed of land in Dover, N. H., now Rollinsford, from Thomas Austin, only son of Joseph Austin, who conveyed to him "for twenty pounds of current money all that tract of land granted to said Joseph Aus- tin in 1656," "lying in ye range of lots between St. Alban's Cove and Quamphegan,'' bounded south-east by the Newichawannock river, north-east by Henry Tibbetts' hundred acre lot, north- west by Ralph Twombly's hundred acres and Thomas Hanson's hundred acres and south-west by a highway between this lot and Thomas Kenne's (Canney) hundred acre lot. The lot purchased contained one hundred acres of rich land. A brook flows through it which is still called Stackpole's Brook and was so called in a writing 9 May 1709, when a road was laid out, cross- ing a "little creek on the south side of James Stackpole's house," from St. Alban's Cove to Quamphegan. It now empties into the late Samuel Hale's artificial pond. The old Stackpole house stood where now is Hale's garden, a little north of the pond. Right in front of it was "Stackpole's Landing," mentioned in early documents, where sloops of a hundred tons burden or so might land their merchandise at high water. From his doorway James Stackpole looked across and down the New- ichawannock to where the Great Works River empties therein. The view is one of great natural beauty. On the opposite shore and hill-top he could see the home of James Warren and the house where himself lived during his sojourn in Maine, as well as the first saw and grist mills set up in New England, in 1634. There is evidence that the Austins never lived on this grant of land received in 1656. Their home was in another part of Dover. It is probable that James Stackpole settled down here before 1680 by right of squatter sovereignty, that he remained here till the time of the Indian raids, that began in 1689, and then moved over into Berwick for safety, where he staid till 1699. He then returned to his old habitation, where he had some claim to the lot by reason of "betterments" made. Yet to satisfy the claim of Austin acquired by original grant he paid, in 17 10, twenty pounds for one hundred acres of land and took an undisputed deed of the same. That the price paid was only a nominal one is shown by the fact that only four years later, Nov. 30, 1714, he sold "forty acres of upland" from this lot to William Frost for one hundred and twenty pounds. JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 5 1 Besides the persons named above in the deed James Stack- pole had for neighbors, next south, Thomas Canney and later Henry Hobbs a shipbuilder, and Thomas Wallingford. Then came Sylvanus Nock and the Sligo Garrison House on the east side of the road. Next were the houses of Lieut. Hatevil Nutter and Benjamin Weymouth, which brings us to Stiles's at St. Albans Cove. This region has long been and is still called "Sligo." Some assert that this name arose from the fact that James Stackpole came from Sligo, Ireland. In North's History of Augusta (p. 914) there is an account of the family of James Stackpole of Waterville, evidently furnished by the James Stack- pole who graduated at Bowdoin College in 1819. He says that his "immigrant ancestor was James Stackpole of Sligo, Ireland^ who came over in 1680." He simply repeats an old tradition. The place is called Sligo in very early deeds. Miss Mary P. Thompson, in her Landmarks of Ancient Dover, traces the name to Sligo, birthplace of the Earl of Bellomont, who was appointed Governor of N. H. in 1699 and was ordered to build such forts at Pascataqua and elsewhere as were needed for security. Another tradition says James Stackpole came from Cork, Ire- land. From several sources I have heard the old saw about "three brothers" who came over from England. Tradition is valuable, but it can not always be trusted. Sligo, Ireland, was utterly burned and its inhabitants barbarously massacred in 1653, and in Jan. 1655 proposals were made to repeople the town and lands thereabouts with emigrants from New England. A few actually returned. It is improbable, then, that James Stack- pole came from Sligo to New England a few years later. I visited Sligo, Ireland, in 1897, and made inquiries of the Town Clerk and oldest inhabitants. There are no records of any Stackpole in that place, and they said the name was utterly unknown there. The next mention of James Stackpole is found in a petition dated 25 April 1715. The petition with names of petitioners was evidently written by an Irishman. "The Inhabitanes that are Nerer ye New Meten house than ye old Cocheco Pint" ask to be assigned to the new place of worship. Among the petitioners are "fileon Stagpool" and "Jeames Stagpool." The first is presumably Philip, son of James. A footnote to the petition, as given in N. H. State Papers, explains that the petitioners were 52 STACKPOLE FAMILY "nearer ye new Meeting house at Cocheco than the old on Dover Neck." It seems that after the destruction of the old church at Cocheco and the breaking up of that settlement by the Indian massacre of 1689 the inhabitants of Dover were taxed for the maintenance of worship at Dover Neck, near Hilton's Point ; but when the new church was erected at Cocheco in 1713 the settlers in "Sligo" wished to return to their first love. At least they preferred to be taxed there, though it is probable that they often found it more convenient to ford the "Sluiceway" and attend church at the Great Works Settlement. James and Philip Stackpole, 25 April 1729, sign a petition for a new Parish in the north-east part of Dover. The petition was granted and Somersworth was made a Parish, 19 Dec. 1730. It was incorporated as a town 22 April 1754. Rev. James Pike was first pastor of this church. He died here 19 March 1792, after a pastorate of 65 years. The church records were burned with the parsonage in 1812, a sad loss to genealogists. James Stackpole died in 1736, as shown by the Inventory of his estate, made by Nathaniel Gerkins and Thomas Walling- ford, under date of 12 Aug. 1736. A full copy is here appended. It is an interesting document and shows how the fore-fathers lived. "A true inventory of all the estate of James Stackpole of Somers- worth in Dover Late Deceasd Viz.

Gambling Judge of Probate. 14 July 1737, administration granted to John Stackpole of Biddeford. County of York, Province Mass. Bay, Yeoman. The Inventory sheds some light upon his manner of life. That "Brass Kittle" had been willed by Margaret Warren, in JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 53 1 7 12, to her daughter, Margaret Stackpole. It hung on a crane over a wood fire and was often filled with Irish potatoes. The "Poridge pott" served for cooking Indian meal. The salmon that were so abundant in the river before his door sputtered in the "Frying Pann." His house was certainly not palatial, being valued at about $25. It was, doubtless, a primitive log-cabin, pretty well decayed at the time of his death. The wind whistling through it in the cold winters made a "warming Pann" service- able. He had disposed, to his sons, of nearly all his valuable land,, retaining only about three acres for a garden. Here with his cow and hog, and his sons Philip, William and Samuel living within sight and call he passed a peaceful and easy old age. In the militia, to which every able-bodied man belonged, he with all his sons did military service, and they were often called out to defend life and property, for the Indians had special hatred toward Dover and Berwick. He had no opportunity, like his ancestors under William the Conqueror and Strongbow, to seize the castles and cultivated estates of the conquered and so make himself and family rich. He conquered a hundred acres of wooded wilderness by the hard labor of a husbandman, saw his children comfortably settled in similar employments, and lived to behold his great-grandchildren. The record indicates a. courageous, honest, industrious and prosperous private citizen. He was buried on a hill-top just back of his house. Here sleep many of the first four generations of American Stackpoles. Traces of rude monuments of rough granite as headstones ma}*" still be seen, crumbled and disfigured by time. Trees and bushes have grown up in abundance about their graves. The site is a beautiful one and deserves to be protected and honored. The farm with this private burial-ground has passed into the hands of strangers. Some fitting memorial should mark and protect these graves. John Stackpole of Biddeford was administrator of his father's estate and, 4 June 1737, sold to Thomas Wallingford, for one hundred and twenty pounds, the three acres above mentioned, reserving to himself, for the use of his mother Margaret, the house so long as she might live. It is not known when she died. VI. FAMILY OF JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT From Wills, Deeds, and other documents are gathered the names of the children of James and Margaret (Warren) Stack- pole, here arranged in the probable order of their birth ; James Jr., Philip, John, William, Margaret, and Samuel. An ''Onar Stackpole,'' a misspelling for Honor, is found on the Church Records of South Berwick, Me., baptized and received by cove- nant 20 May 1 716. She may have been another daughter of the emigrant, or perhaps she was the wife of William. I. Of James Jr. nothing more can be learned than that he received a grant of fifty acres of land from the town of Kittery, 10 May 1703, and that he made his Will in 1706. The fact that he wills all his property to his father and brothers indicates that he had no family. His Will is here given in full, since it reveals something of family history. He was a soldier. The guns and steel traps indicate a huntsman and trapper. Scalps and furs found a ready market in those days. He signs his initials in the scrawling hand of a man weak with wounds or with sickness, and the writer of the Will supplies his full name. He lived at South Berwick, and the indications are that he had been brought up in the family of his maternal grandfather. In the name of God Amen, I James Stagpole Junr of Barwick in her Majts Province of the Masachusets Bay in New England (planter) being very Sick and weak of Body but of Sound mind and memory praised "be god for it, and not Knowing how it may please god to deal with me, I hereby revoking all former and other Will or wills device or devises by me at any time heretofore made making null and void the same to all intents and purposes, I doe hereby declare and make this my last Will and testament in manner and form following.

In Testimony whereof I have hereunto Set my hand and Seal This Eleventh day of November In the. year of our Lord, one Thousand Seaven Hun- dred and six, 1706. Signed, Sealed, Published and Declared to be his last Will and Testament his In the presence of James J S Stagpole (Seal) Hatevil Roberts mark Richard X Hussey John Croad Sworn to 30 Nov. 1706. Recorded 20 Dec. 1706. II. Samuel is not mentioned in his brother's Will. He was baptized and received by covenant in the church at South Ber- wick, Me., 15 Oct. 1721. He died in 1758 intestate. As his property was divided among his brothers and sister, it is evident that he also left no family. Philip, his brother, was made admin- istrator 22 Feb. 1758. James Hobbs and Daniel Goodwin made the fnventory of his estate consisting of thirty acres of land, buildings, a yoke of cattle, a cow, a heifer and household stuff, — 56 STACKPOLE FAMILY all amounting to £2681 : sy, doubtless in depreciated currency. The land was part of the fifty acres, deeded to him by his father, 20 April 1734, "reserving unto myself the house wherein I live and ye land whereon it stands, to extend from ye house towards Capt. Wallingford's house by the river, and ye little field before my Dore, adjoining to Thomas Hobbs' land, being in all about two or three acres." Samuel was to pay to his father and mother one half of the profits during their lives. He sold a portion of this to his nephew, Joshua Stackpole, 20 April 1743, and ten acres to some one else in 1740. The rest was divided at his death between his brothers John, William and Philip, and his sister Margaret Young. William bought the claim of John. In 1760 the farm and dwelling house, left by Samuel, were owned by William, son of Philip Stackpole. III. William is little known. He was a young man in 1706, living, as we have seen, in 1758. There is no record of children. IV. Margaret, the only daughter known, married, as shown by Kittery Records, 7 Jan. 1707-8, Jonathan Young* of York, Me. They were both living as late as 1758, as a legal document shows. V. Philip Stackpole is first mentioned in the will of his brother James, in 1706. The Church Records of South Berwick say that his wife Mercy was received by profession 15 March 1729. His will mentions his wife Martha. This may have been a second wife, or it may have been a clerical error. Several granddaughters were named Mercy, but the name Martha is not found among his descendants. A Mrs. Stackpole died in Dover 24 Sept. 1792, aged loi yrs. This was, doubtless, the wife of Philip. *Rowland Young Senr. lived on. the "south side of York River" in 1652, said to have been of Scotch ancestry. In 1685 he willed all his property to his vv'ife Joanna. In 1698 she mentioned in her Will children Rowland, Jr., Job, Mary Moulton, and Lydia Haines. Rowland, Jr., names in his Will, 1719, his wife Susannah, and children Joseph, Benajah, Matthew, Jonathan, Mary, Susanna, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Mercy. Joseph, oldest son of Rowland Young. Jr., names in his Will, 1734, his wife Abigail, Grandson Joseph, granddaughter Abigail, and four daugh- ters, Mary, Abigail, Bethulah, and Bethiah, and son-in-law John Brad- bury. All these lived in York, Me. Bethiah married John Stackpole 2d of Biddeford 3 Nov. 1731. See Maine Wills and York Records. FAMILY OF JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 57 He lived with his Father and, 17 Nov. 1732, bought of him for thirty pounds sixteen acres of land, being the northeast corner of his farm, bounded "on ye northeastern side by Thomas Thibbets land, on ye southeast by the Nechowannock River and on ye other parts by my own land" — "excepting an old apple tree." Here he built a house, which in 1832 was removed by his grandson, Ebenezer Stackpole, to St. Alban's Cove, was remodeled and is still standing. The timbers were of hewn oak. July 2 1734, he was chosen a member of the first School Board of Somersworth, N. H., and in 1754 he was elected to take an Inventory of the Parish and as one of the Overseers of the poor. He died in 1761. His Will, in which he conveys most of his estate to his son Philip, is here given. In the name of God. Amen. The twenty-fifth Day of August one Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-one, I Philip Stacpole, Husband- man, of the town of Somersworth in the Province of New Hampshire in New England, being weak and Infirm in body but of Perfect mind and memory, thanks be given unto God, Therefore calling to mind the mor- tality of my body, and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament, that is to say; principally and first of all, I give and recommend my Sole unto the hands of God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the Earth to be buried in Christian and decent burial, at the discretion of my executor, nothing doubting but at the General Resurrection i shall receive the same again by the Almighty powre of God, and as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life, I give.

Joseph Tate Mark Wallingford Rachel Lincoln. Approved 30 Sept. 1761 by Richard Wibird, Judge of Probate. The Records of First Church, Dover, N. H. state that there were baptized by the Rev. Jonathan Gushing, 18 Jan. 1730, "Phihp Stagpole and Childn, Sarah, WilHam, Lydia and EHsha." His Will names older children Philip, Joshua and James. I. Philip 2D seems to have been the oldest son. Tate's Journal says that he married Elizabeth Tebbets. Jan. 31, 1761, he was Corporal in Capt. John Wentworth's Co., in the expedi- tion against Canada. He was collector of Taxes in Somers- worth in 1767. There is no record of any children. H. Joshua was baptized and received on profession in the Church at South Berwick 15 March 1729. The name of his first wife is unknown, and one child, Mary, by that marriage is FAMILY OF JAMES STACKPOLE THE EMIGRANT 59 recorded as baptized at So. Berwick 31 May 1736. It is pre- sumable that she died young, as another daughter Mary appears later. Joshua was a blacksmith and lived on a portion of the old homestead. About 1739 he married (2) Lucy Baker. Their children were Samuel b. Oct. 1740, whose numerous descendants will be given in Chapter VIII. and Lucy* who married (i) Wil- liam Watson and (2) Gerson Horn.

JOHN STACKPOLE OF BIDDEFORD AND FAMILY Lieut. John Stackpole, for by this title he was usually known to distinguish him from his son Deacon John, was the third son of James and Margaret (Warren) Stackpole and must have been born about or soon after 1680, since he had a son born in 1708. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Andrew Brown* of York, Me. *Her grandfather, Arthur Brown, a merchant, came to America from London in 1643. His son, Andrew, bought land at Black Point, Scarborough, 29 Sept. 1651. The Indian attacks upon the settlement drove him to York in 1699, where he lived till 1717. He then moved to Winter Harbor, Biddeford, near the mouth of the Saco River, with his son-in-law, John Stackpole. Two years later he settled in Kennebunk- port, or as it was then called Arundel, and died there soon after. His children were: I. Alison Brown m. Hannah, dau. of Humphrey Scamman of Bidde- ford and died in 1728, leaving a son Andrew and daughter Elizabeth. He was Capt. of Militia and the first Representative of Kennebunkport to the General Court of Mass. He was the richest man in the town, hav- ing property at his death valued at about $6000. (1241:7:0). In his Will, made 9 March 1728, he bequeathed to his sister, Elizabeth Stack- pole and to each of her children "four pounds a Piece." The children are not named. II. Andrew Brown, Jr., m. the widow of Pendleton Fletcher; d. 4 July 1723, aged 65 years. Their only child, Andrew, died unm. 14 March 1722. III. Lieut. Matthew Brown d. s. p. before 1734. IV. Elizabeth Brown m. John Stackpole. V. Mary Brown m. Carr. VI. Katherine Brown m. Joshua Lassell. See Maine Wills, Folsom's Hist, of Biddeford, and the Hist, of Kennebunkport. 64 STACKPOLE FAMILY John Stackpole lived a dozen years in York, receiving at least three grants of land there. He moved to Biddeford in 1717 or earlier and purchased several parcels of land near Cow Cove and the mouth of the Saco, having at one time over two hundred acres of land. Jan. 4, 1728, he and others had a grant from Arundel of 100 acres apiece on the "Saco Road," a new road to be laid out running from Wells through Arundel to Winter Harbor. This has led Bradbury in his Hist, of Kennebunkport to infer and to state that John Stackpole moved to Kennebunk- port, and other historians have followed Bradbury in the asser- tion. There is no evidence of this removal, and there is much evidence to the contrary. John Stackpole was chosen Constable of Biddeford in 171 7. The last meeting of the inhabitants on both sides of the river under the old name of Saco was held at his house, 31 March 1717, and John was chosen Moderator. His house stood on the spot where not long ago lived Ralph E. Jordan, Esq., on the Pool road, near an old cemetery. His house was a garrison for defence against the Indians. A petition to the General Court, dated 9 Nov. 1723, is signed by Ebenezer Hill, John Stackpole and Nathaniel Tarbox. They ask for protection against the Indians, and say that Stackpole's "Garrison is upon the road and is a guard and security to the meeting house." The following petition will be of interest, at least to all his descendants : "To the Honi'ie William Dummer Esq. Lieut-Gov. and Commander in Chief, and to the Hon^i<^ House of Representatives in Gcn^ Court assembled, Boston Nov. 1727. The Petition of John Stagpole Humbly Showeth That your Peti- tioner on the 22d of Jan'y 1724-5 did by order of Col" Thomas West- brook, take the Command of Tv/enty-one men at Biddeford and marcht up Saco River in pursuit of the Enemy, which Continued for nine days, and soon after his return, on the first day of february following y^ Pef did by order of said Col° Westbrook march as Pilot from Richmond to Penobscot Town with Capt Joseph Heath, all which may sut^ciently appear by a Journal now in the Secretary's office, signed by Col" West- brook, and for which service your Pef" has never rec'd any pay. Therefore your Pef humbly prays your Hon^ consideration of the Premises and make him such allowance for the above s'd service as in your great Wisdoms shall seem meet and your Pef as in duty bound will ever pray. John Stackpole." LIEUT. JOHN STACKPOLE OF BIDDEFORD AND FAMILY 65 It was ordered that the sum of eight pounds be paid him out of the Publick Treasury. On this expedition with Heath a village of the Tarratines near Bangor was burned in May, 1725. It consisted of fifty houses. The Tarratines had fled.* The reason why John did not receive his pay sooner appears in Folsom's Hist, of Biddeford. It must have been after July 1725 when John Stackpole was surprised by the Indians on the beach and " ran into the pool and attempted to wade across ; but one of the party, said to have been the noted Wahwa, who was well known to Stackpole, pursued him crying out, 'Boon quar- ter, John, boon quarter'; meaning that he would spare his life." John surrendered and was taken to Canada, spending a winter on the way at the foot of the White Mountains. He returned after an absence of nineteen months, probably released on exchange after the treaty of peace. Some traditions concerning this capture have floated down in different branches of the family. Some have it that there was a John Stackpole of Biddeford, grandson of Lieut. John, born in 1739, who was captured by the Indians. He was six feet seven inches tall and a wonderful athlete. One account says that he and a certain Indian hunted to get game for the chief. His Indian companion often took the greater part of John's game away from him, claiming it as his own. John stood this for quite a while but finally told the chief how the case stood. Next day the tribe was called together, John and the Indian in the midst. John did not know what was in store for him, per- haps torture. Two baskets of corn were brought and set side by side. John and the Indian were told to strip naked for a wrestling match, the best man to have the corn. It was the toughest contest John ever had, for the Indian was a powerful man and greased for the occasion, but John threw him the most times and had no trouble afterward with his game. Another account says that John at first feigned inability to endure hardship, but one day betrayed his strength in a wrest- ling contest, after which they said, "Strong man John, must tote me pigback." This account says that he made his escape upon skates, the Indians vainly attempting to follow him on snow- shoes. *See Williamson's Hist, of Maine Vol. IL p. 143. 66 STACKPOLE FAMILY Stackpole Brook in Buxton is said to have been named for Lieut. John Stackpole, who was one of the chainmen when Bux- ton was first run out in 1733. In 1730 was chosen "John Stagickpoell messenger for to aggree and hier a Sculmaster." The orthography of the Town Clerk of that time shows that a school was much needed. He contributed seven pounds toward the building of the first Congregational church in Biddeford. There had been two church edifices before, but the first Congregational church was organized about 1729. John was one of the Committee who called the Rev. Samuel Willard to be pastor of that church. An original deed of land, bought by John Stackpole of Samuel Cole in 1732, in the hand-writing of Rev. Mr. Willard and witnessed by him and Abigail Willard, is in the possession of Miss Julia Stackpole of Waterville. John was one of the Selectmen in 1729, '30, '37-9, and '40. He was living as late as 1767. His wife signed a deed in 1759. We find mention of three children. Tradition tells about a son called "Roaring Ralph/' who killed an Indian with his fist. Another son, Andrew, was a soldier in the expedition against Cape Breton in 1745. He married 22 Nov. 1743, Mary, dau. of John and Elizabeth Davis. He died intestate in 1766, leaving two daughters; Margaret b. 9 Feb. 1748 m. in 1765 Thomas Drinkwater of North Yarmouth, Me. (having children Joseph, Sarah, and Mary); and Mary, baptized 17 May 1751, who m. 21 Jan. 1768 Joel Sawyer of Pepperellborough (Saco). Mary, the widow of Andrew Stackpole, married 4 Sept. 1768 Stephen Jones of Pepperellborough. Of Deacon John Stackpole, son of Lieut. John, more is known. He was born in 1708 and married 30 Nov. 1731 Bethiah Young of York. Was chosen Deacon in 1754, of the Congregational Church in Biddeford, Selectman in 1746, '50 and '51, He, too, was Lieut, of Militia, appointed by Gov. William Shirley in 1755, "for killing and captivating the Indian enemy," as the Commission, still preserved, reads. He had, in 1755, command of soldiers enlisted for five months, who scouted from New Boston (Gray) to P'ort Shirley at Frankfort (Dres- den). His Journal, kept during that time, is preserved in the Mass. archives. A writer in the New England Register has attributed it to the Deacon's father. The hand-writing is differ- LIEUT.

His sister Mary was married to Samuel Ham 28 Jan. 1779 by the same minister. Ebenezer Stackpole was born in Somersworth, N. H., was a sol- dier in the Revolution (see Military Record) and is said to have been lost at sea. Rev. Mr. Haven baptized a Joshua Stackpole 2 Aug. 1779, undoubtedly the son of Ebenezer and Mary Stackpole. This Joshua was married by the same Mr. Haven 29 May 1800 to Miss Sally Neal, and their son Andrew Stackpole was baptized by Mr. Haven 12 Oct. 1800. Joshua's wife died two years later, and he married 25 April 1805 Miss Mary Davis of Portsmouth. They were married by Rev. Tim- othy Alders of the South Parish. He was a ship-caulker and worked in the Navy Yard at Kittery. He died about 1809. There is no record of children by the second marriage. His only son, Andrew Neal Stackpole was born 12 Sept. 1800 at Ports- mouth, N. H. He married Elizabeth Rogers of Tamworth, N. H., sister of William Rogers, ship-builder of Bath, Me. They were m. 20 Aug. 1826 at Dover, N. H. She was b. 9 Oct. 1801 and d. i Sept. 1881. He d. 16 Feb. 1877 at Amherst, N. H., after having lived as a mechanic in Dover, N.

Her History is a romance. She disappeared and none of her family heard of her or of her descendants for half a century.

DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM STACKPOLE OF BOSTON William Stackpole (James'', Phillip-, James) son of James and Elizabeth (Pierce) Stackpole, was born 19 Oct. 1746 in Som- ersworth, N. H. He went with his brother James to Sebascod- egan, or Great Island, Harpswell, Me. about 1766; thence to Thomaston, Me. about 1773. May 23, 1871, Ebenezer Tooth- aker of Harpswell sold to William Stackpole for eighty pounds land on Sebascodegan Island, lot number 2 in first division, on New Meadows River. Oct. 2 1780 he sold this land to Joshua Purington for one hundred and twenty pounds. The deed is dated at Boston, Mass., and is signed by William and Ann Stackpole. Witnessed by Samviel Cooper and by Samuel L. Parker. After going to Thomaston James and William being carpenters got out the frame of a house, and William went with it to Boston and remained there. He was a resident of Ward 9 Boston, Dec. 19 1776, for his name then appears in the Public Records among the men from whom a draught was made for reenforcement of the Continental Army. The same Records show that he was a retailer on King St., now State St., 28 Aug. 1781. He was "licensed to sell tea" 12 Dec. 1781. In 1790 his household consisted of four whites over sixteen years of age, one under that age, and eight free white females, as the Records say. At this time he lived in what was long known as the "Stackpole House," and was a wealthy wholesale wine-mer- chant. This house was built in 1729 and was occupied many }cars before it took its name by the Waldos, Tyngs, and Apthorps. It was midway between Milk and Water Sts., a large Il8 STACKPOLE FAMILY brick house with ample dooryard and garden in front. " For many years after the Stackpole House ceased to be a genteel pri- vate residence it was used as a fashionable restaurant, where the gay and lively Bostonians found good cooking, and where they used to assemble and unbend in festive cheer." After the death of Mr. Stackpole it was occupied by his son-in-law, Mr. Welch, whose son, Charles A. Welch, Esq., sold the property to the U. S. Government. The present Boston Post Office stands on the site of the Stackpole House. William Stackpole and Mrs. Ann (Jackson) Parker of Boston were married by the Rev. Samuel Stillman 3 Oct. 1776. He died 3 Dec. 1813 of "gout in stomach" and was buried in the Granary, in Jackson's tomb. His wife died 18 May 1807, aged 61. They had five children. I. Nancy Davis Stackpole born May 1777 ; m. (i) 15 Feb. 1795 John M. son of Rev. Samuel Stillman and had six children all of whom died unmarried ; m. (2) John Holker, Consul General from France, who came to America about 1787. They lived in Boston till the death of Mr. Holker, after which she moved to Virginia, where she owned a large estate. She died 18 June 1857. Her only child, Anna Maria Adelaide Holker. born 22 Sept. 1816, married Hugh Mortimer Nelson of Virginia, b. 20 Oct. 181 1 and d. 6 Aug. 1862. He was a Colonel in the Confed- erate Arm}' and a man of excellent character. Mrs. Nelson died 20 March 1875. They had two children, 1. Nancy A. Nelson b. 18 Aug. 1839; d. 5 March 1877. 2. Hugh M.

Lawyer, m. 13 Jan. 1803 Mrs. Nancy (Lewis) Hodgdon, dau. of Joseph and Molly Lewis of Dedham, Mass., who was born 12 Sept. 1774. (Her first husband was Alexander Hodgdon, Esq., of Boston, whom she married 6 Oct. 1793. He died in Dedham 12 Aug. 1797, aged 56 years.) They went to Louisville, Ky., and both died there of fever about 11 Oct. 1822. They had six children. 1. William Ames Stackpole, died in New Orleans, La., when a young man. Unm. 2. Grace Hanfield Gurley Stackpole m. George Atkin- son of London, England, in 1842 and resided there. She died in October 1872, having survived her husband. They had no children. 3. Joseph Lewis Stackpole b. 28 Dec. 1808. Graduated at Harvard in 1824 and at the Law School in 1828. He married 2 March 1837 Susan Margaret Benjamin of Boston, Mass. He was the "nearest and dearest friend" of John Lothrop Motley, the historian, who married a sister of Joseph Lewis Stackpole's wife, "thus joining two young men already like brothers in their mutual afifections." Motley writes of him long years after his death as "our ever lamented friend Stackpole." Oliver W^endell Holmes, in his Memoir of Motley says that Motley and Stackpole met while traveling in Europe. Stackpole was eight years older than Motley, "always cool and good-natured. Mr. Stackpole was a man of great intelligence, of remarkable personal attrac- tions and amiable character." Pres. Eliot of Harvard related to Mr. Markham W. Stackpole that when he was traveling in Egypt he saw Joseph Lewis Stackpole's name carved at some place up the Nile. He was killed in a railroad accident 20 July 1847. ^^ the Boston Daily Advertiser of July 23, 1847 appeared the follow- ing obituary, written by Hon. Charles Sumner. "The sudden death of Mr. Stackpole has filled a large circU of friends with poignant grief. "He was a graduate of Harvard University in the class of 1824 and afterwards studied law. His studies were careful and thorough. His attainments were increased by travel in Europe. As a member of the Ex. Com. on Modern Languages at the University he made his excellent knowledge, especially of JOSEPH LEWIS STACKPOLE. Sec 1). l'J2 JOSEPH LEWIS STACKPOLE. See p. 123 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM STACKPOLE OF BOSTON I 23 French, useful to the community. Had his professional studies been continued, there is reason to believe that in some departments he would have contributed in no humble measure to the true fame of his country. An article in the American Jurist entitled 'Customs and Origin of Customary Law,' written by Mr. S. while still very young, drew the attention of learned men in Europe as much, perhaps, as was ever done by any paper of mere jurisprudence from our country. It was the subject of comment by the late Prof. Park at King's College in one of his public lectures, who read extracts from it to his classes, and it was reproduced in one of the English Law Journals. This was at the time when American productions found little favor from the mother country. This article will be read with interest by students of Jurisprudence and History, while it must always pos- sess peculiar attractions as the early offering of ingenuous youth to a stern profession ardently espoused. Perhaps nothing ever appeared in our country from one equally young evincing a finer judicial spirit. "Mr. Stackpole has been removed from the strongest family ties, from a large cluster of friends, from enjoyments richly spread by competence and taste, and from opportunities of use- fulness which were before him in ample fields, while his sun of life was still high and glowing in the heavens. He has passed away as a shadow. Let us clasp and hold fast the memory of his virtues." His wife survived him half a century, dying 24 April 1896. They had three sons. A. Joseph Lewis Stackpole b. 20 March 1838. Grad- uated at Harvard University in 1857 and at the Law School in 1859. Admitted to Suffolk bar 3 Sept. i860.

Regt. 2 Sept. 1861 ; Major and Judge Advocate General 10 July 1863 ; Brevet Lieut.-Col. 13 March 1865, and resigned 20 April 1865. Gen. Benj. F. Butler, in his Autobiography, says of him on tak- ing command of the Department, "Major J. L. Stackpole, the Judge Advocate General of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina * * * I found one of the most competent officers that I have ever seen filling that position. He was faith- ful, diligent and a good lawyer, and he retained his position dur- 124 STACKPOLE FAMILY ing my command. He now pursues his profession in the city of Boston with the esteem of all who know him." (p. 697.) He early gave evidence of his ability as a lawyer. March 15 1861, Motley writes to his mother thus, "I hear that Lewis Stackpole is one of the most rising young lawyers of the day, that he is very popular everywhere, thought to have great talents for his profession, great industry, and that he is sure to succeed. You may well suppose with how much delight we hear such ac- counts of him." (Correspondence Vol. I. p. 364.) He was first Assistant City Solicitor of Boston from 1870 to 1876, and U. S. General Appraiser from Aug. to Dec. 1890. He has appeared in the North American Review for Nov. 1865, as the author of "Military Law," and in the American Law Review as the author of "Rogers vs. Attorney-General," Oct. 1865; '"Law and Romance," April 1867; "Book about Lawyers," Oct. 1867; "Lord Plunkett, " April 1868; "Campbell's Lives of Lyndhurst and Brougham," Jan. 1870; "Howland Will Case," July 1870; and "Early Days of Charles Sumner," 1879.

It was published -in the New Englander for Oct. 1873, ^o\. XXXII. He says without men- tioning names that John Ward Gurley was oldest son of Rev. John Gurley, D.D. of Eastern, Conn. He entered Yale College in 1794, neglected his studies, was dismissed from College at the request of his father, but so diligently pursued the study of law at Boston that Yale gave him the honorary degree of A.M. in 1799, earlier than he could have obtained it, if he had finished his College course. "It happened one night in those years between 1796 and 1799 a lire was raging somewhere in the vicinity of the Stackpole FTouse, and the fine looking student by a kind of acci- dent turned out of the crowd and took the steps of the old man- sion as a good place to see the fire. A pair of eyes happened to be looking out of the window, that had seen him before. The door was opened and the student was politely invited to walk in and look from a window, where he could see the fire to still better advantage. This was the real beginning of an acquaintance that ripened into marriage." He became an eminent lawyer, was JOHN WARD GURLEY STACKPOLE.

John Stackpole (James" Philip- James) son of James and Elizabeth (Pierce) Stackpole, was born in Somersworth, now Rollinsford, N. H., 4 Aug. 1749. He went to Harpswell, Me., when a young man and worked at his trade as a tailor. His brothers, James and William were then in Harspwell. He mar- ried 4 July 1775 Elizabeth, daughter of David and Mary Dun- ning,* of Brunswick, Me. She was born 9 Sept. 1751. They *Andrew Dunning was born in Ashburton, Devonshire, Eng. in 1664. He married Susan Bond and came to Boston, Mass. in 1718, thence to Georgetov/n, Me., and to Brunswick the same year. He set- tled at "Maquoit." Was a farmer and blacksmith. His wife perished in the burning of their house. He d. 18 Jan. 1736. Five sons came with him, James, Andrew, Robert, William, and David. It is claimed that he left his oldest son, John, m Eng. whose son John became a celebrated lawyer, was elevated to the peerage with title of Lord Ashburton, and died leaving a property worth $50,000,000. He was b. 18 Oct. 1731 and d. 18 Aug. 1783. David Dunning b. 1706, settled in Brunswick, Me. and owned a large part of the land where the village now is. He built a block-house for defence against the Indians. He lived on the spot where the Town Hall now stands. Was Brunswick's first Representative to Mass. Gen. Court in 1742, and on the first board of Selectmen in 1739. He was Capt. of militia and one of the most active, enterprising and respected men of his time. Was Deacon in the Cong. Church. He died 16 Aug. 1793 and is buried in the old Cemetery a mile south of the College. His first wife, Mary died 16 Aug. 1784, aged 74 yrs. He married (2) in 1788, Mrs. Mary (Lithgow) Hunter, when both were over eighty years of age. Six ch. by first marriage. See History of Durham, Maine, pp. 11-13. DESCENDANTS OF JOHN STACKPOLE OF DURHAM, ME. I 33 lived at what is called "High Head" in Harpswell, not far from the Academy. He was for a brief time a Revolutionary soldier. See Military Record. The Cape Elizabeth Records show the marriage intentions of '■John Stagpole of Harpswell and Mrs. Mehitabel Emery of Cape Elizabeth 20 April 1773." The marriage was never consum- mated. She afterward married 22 Dec. 1785 Jeremiah Cushing. David Dunning was opposed to the marriage of his daughter to John Stackpole ; so they mounted horses and rode to her cou- sin's, Dea. Andrew Dunning of Harpswell, and were married in his house, still standing, by Rev. Samuel Eaton of Harpswell. They settled close by in a small house doubtless built by John Stackpole. The house is still standing, in a dilapidated condi- tion, removed a short distance from where it originally stood. It was about twenty feet square with an ell. A staircase led to an unfinished attic. The house stood close to the water, a little south of a large oak tree, northeast of Benjamin Dunning's house. May 6 1783 David Dunning gave a deed of seventy-five acres of land to his daughter, Elizabeth Stackpole. The land was in the northern part of Durham, Me., then called Royalsborough, lot 91. Oct. I, 1 79 1, John and Elizabeth Stacpole (sic) sold for fifteen pounds to Benjamin Dunning Jr. "land with a house thereon" in Harpswell, on Merriconeag River, at northeast cor- ner of land belonging to said Dunning, two and one quarter rods on the river front and sixty rods deep. At this time they moved to Durham. On a hilltop he built a framed house, facing the river Androscoggin, having four large square rooms below. This was burned in 1836. There was no road to his dwelling except a path made by cutting and spotting trees. In 1793 he and several others were warned by the Selectmen to leave town as intruders. He staid, however, having complied with the legal formalities, and in 1795 was road surveyor and one of the School Agents. He died 26 June 1829. Elizabeth (Dunning) Stackpole was a woman, as all accounts testify, of lovely Christian character, very gentle and ladylike in disposition and manners, traits which her daughters inherited. She died 29 Feb. 1836, leaving nine children, John Dunning, Hannah, David Dunning, Mary, Lydia, Jane Dunning, James Dunning, Samuel Owen, and Henry Ricker. 134 STACKPOLE FAMILY I.

She was born 26 Jan. 181 1 in Port- land and died 18 Oct. 1861 in Gorham, Me. The following obituary of Charles A. Stackpole was written by Dr. Cyrus Hamlin and appeared under the heading "A True Man Fallen." "He was a man of splendid native powers and was fitted for College in Portland Academy with every prospect of distinction as a scholar. It is greatly to be regretted that cir- cumstances should have turned him aside from the very path he should have pursued. He put on the Christian armor in early life and was a faithful and sound Christian man, a constant student of the Bible, a profound believer in it as the Word of the living God. Very early, from 1834 and onward through his whole life, he became an earnest advocate of total abstinence, and also of the abolition of slavery. It was not by any means popular to be at the same time a "Temperance fanatic" and an "abolition fanatic." He was both pre-emmently, in the language of those days. His addresses were pungent, religious, direct, never long, always listened to with profound attention, and often with rapturous applause. In the "Free Soil Party" he was a leader but would not be a candidate for ofhce. He was uncompromisingly honest and just. His interest in moral and social questions often con- flicted with his business. He was successively merchant, cashier of a bank, editor of a newspaper, farmer, and so forth. He showed fine capacity in all his employments. He might have risen to eminence in every one of them. He lacked continuance. He would, moreover, sacrifice a fine prospect which he thought might conflict with conscience. His conscience ruled him. He obeyed her dictates without hesitation. Come what may, he would be at peace with himself. He never concealed his senti- ments. He never failed openly to avow and advocate them how- ever unpopular, if occasion occurred. And yet Mr. Stackpole was generally liked even by his opponents. His honesty, frank- ness, fairness disarmed antagonism to a great extent. He had fine social qualities. He had a remarkable memory. He was a close reader of history. He had a wide acquaintance with men. With regard to the men of influence and action, the professional and public men of Maine, and the social, religious 142 STACKPOLE FAMILY and political changes of the last sixty years he was an encyclo- paedia of ready information. His many articles on the sons of Maine in the Saturday issues of the Boston Evening Traveller are specimens of his conversation O that the church were filled with members of such clear convictions and earnest lives." He had four children. A. Martha Dodge b. 12 June 1836. Lives in N. Y. B. Charles Augustus Jr. b. 9 Feb. 1838 in Bangor, Me. ; m. Etta Brackett of Westbrook, Me. No ch.

Hist, and Gen. Society and printed in the Register, Vol. XXXHL 1879, P- 362. "Mr. Stackpole came to Boston when a young man, and served his time with the house of Daniel Deshon and Co., where he won the esteem of the business community. In 1852 he became associated with Mr. Charles Larkin, under the style of Larkin and Stackpole. This business association, which con- tinued till Jan. 1, 1877, was terminated by the increasing infirmi- ties of Mr. Stackpole. The firm enjoyed the respect and confi- dence due to a house that maintained its credit by a long and honorable career. Mr. Stackpole was an upright and excellent merchant, seeking to advance his interests only by fair and worthy means. It was said of him, by one who had long held business relations with him, that "his word was sufficient, he carried out every verbal contract with as much consideration as if DESCENDANTS OF JOHN STACKPOLE OF DURHAM, ME. I43 it were written and recorded." In social life Mr. Stackpole was esteemed for his many generous traits. He was a firm friend, and his friendship was not limited to mere expressions of confi- dence. His many kindly acts will be recalled by hundreds who enjoyed his acquaintance. He was a good citizen, exerting a wholesome influence in public affairs, without seeking or aiming at public notoriety. The loss of his wife a few years since deprived him of the counsel of a most worthy woman, and left to his guidance a son and two daughters. For many years Mr. Stackpole has been Consul for the Argentine Republic. His membership dates from April 11, 1870." The Boston Journal, Jan. 7, 1894, says of him, "His last Bos- ton home was in Chester Square. He was not a large man, but his figure was as well known in State St. as that of any contem- porary He was a very sound merchant, and made a careful study of all mercantile ventures. In war days his patriot- ism was unbounded. He gave of his time, of his energy and of his means most liberally, and woe betide the unhappy wight who displayed any "copperheadism" in his presence. Upon such a character he would empty the vials of a righteous wrath until the culprit was glad to lapse into sheltering silence. Through many a dark era Mr. Stackpole guided his firm's fortunes, and he always met every obligation at maturity. He enjoyed social life intensely, and extended unbounded hospitality to a very large circle of friends. When he passed away he left no one to fill his place. His character was shaped in a strong mould, and in one that was not to be duplicated." A. Susan R. Born 12 Nov. 1853. Unm. B. Edward b. Dec. 1855.

DESCENDANTS OF JOHN STACKPOLE OF DURHAM, ME. I5 I of Samuel and Catherine (Clark) Robinson,* who was born at Durham, Me., 22 June 1794 and died 8 Feb. 1837. Samuel Owen Stackpole received the homestead from his father, giving bond of $1500, dated 7 March 1816, for the main- tenance during life of his parents and sister Jane, and for the payment of certain sums to other relatives. The bond obliges him to provide for his parents " Conveyance to Meeting and for visiting their friends in such manner as has been customary with them." This bond he gave when he was twenty-two years of age, and he faithfully fulfilled it. He added to the original homestead by purchase from time to time till he owned 180 acres. He engaged to some extent in lumbering, built a saw-mill just back of his house, which has long since disappeared, and drove many a mast and stick of oak timber to Freeport, Me. When he wanted bricks, he made them on his own farm. Had he used in a large city the same enterprise and industry that he displayed in farming, he would have become a very wealthy man. He was in military service a short time in the War of 1812. He refused all offers of public ofifice, though urged to accept several. The title of "Major" was familiarly applied to him, though he would not accept that ofifice when it was offered to him. His hospital- ity was unlimited. Everybody found a welcome at his home. His justice and generosity are illustrated in this, that when his uncle Aaron died childless and willed to him his farm worth $2000, he gave it to the woman who had cared for his uncle in his old age and infirmity. He united with the Methodist Episco- pal Church in 1838 and generously svipported it as long as he lived. Three miles were not too far to drive to meeting every Sunday in the year. No season of the year was too busy for *John Robinson, the emigrant ancestor, moved from Newbury, Mass., to Haverhill in 1640, thence to Exeter, N. H., about 1652, and was killed there by the Indians 21 Oct. 1675. He had sons, David, Jonathan, and Stephen. The last was a tax-payer at Exeter in 1662, moved to Dover, N. H., in 1666. He had a son John who worked at Fort William Henry, Goat Island, 1723-44. His son, John, Jr., m. 10 Dec. 1722 Sarah Jordan and moved to Cape Elizabeth, Me., the same year. Their son, Joshua m. 16 Nov. 1764 Sarah Miller, and had ten ch. of whom the old- est, Samuel, b. i April 1766, m. Dec. 1788 Catherine Clark b. 31 Dec. 1769. They moved to Durham, Me., and had a farm next to that of John Stackpole. 12 ch. See History of Durham, Me. p. 245. 152 STACKPOLE FAMILY family prayer. He was a friend to many and therefore had many friends. In person he was six feet tall, straight as an arrow till bent by old age and sickness, rather slim than stout, but tough and muscular. He slept but little and wanted to be at work all the time. He lived seventy-six years on the spot where he was born, moved to Brunswick, Me., in 1872 and died there 7 April 1876. He was buried about a mile from his Durham homestead, where rest also his father and mother, wives and several children. By his first marriage there were nine children. I.

They were married by Rev. Moses Morrill. It is related that some of his wife's relatives by name of Win- gate objected to her marrying "that Irish Jeemes." If they had known his Norman-Welsh lineage, they might not have ob- jected ! They afterward had no reason to be ashamed of him. He was tall and dignified in appearance and of deeply religious character. He united with the First Cong. Church of Bidde- ford 7 Oct. 1753, of which his wife was also a member. He owned a farm and saw-mill on Little River, Biddeford. He sold this property and moved to Gardiner, Me., in 1774. Here he kept what was called the " Great House," an inn built by the first settlers in 1761. *Peter Hill sailed from Plymouth, Eng., in the ship Huntress with John Winter and landed in America 22 Mch. 1632-3.

One son, Ebenezer, settled in Biddeford and was long known as Deacon Hill. He and his wife Abigail were captured by the Indians and taken to Canada about 1705, where they remained three years. Their oldest son Ebenezer, Jr., was born in Canada, and after their return was familiarly called the "Frenchman." Deacon Hill died 1758. He names in his will seven children, Ebenezer, Jr.; Dorothy m. Jor- dan; Susanna m. Thos. Emery; Benjamin; Lydia m. Deacon Simon Wingate; Joshua; and Jeremiah m. Mary, dau. of Capt. Daniel Smith, in 1746. — See Folsom's Hist, of Biddeford, passim. 184 STACKPOLE FAMILY He moved to that part of Winslow which is now Waterville March 9, 1784, as his Diary shows.

Joseph Young Stackpole (John,'' John,- James) was born in Biddeford, Maine, 28 Aug. 1747; m. 12 May 1773 Anna, oldest child of Brian and Anna (Young) Fletcher. She was born 25 Jan. 1750; bap. in Biddeford 8 Aug. 1750; d. in Augusta 2 Jan. T836. He died in Augusta, Maine, 26 Feb. 1823. He was in early life a sailor. He seems to have been with his brother James in Gardiner, Me., in 1775, for 25 July of that year he enlisted as a private from "Gardner's Town" in Capt. Oliver Colburn's Co., Col. Arnold's Regt. He served twenty days in a company of Militia Men, being discharged 14 Aug. 1775. Later in life he was offered a pension, if he would take a poor man's oath, but this he could not do. He moved to Augusta about 1784, since he was taxed that year for fifty acres of land, two oxen and a cow. He lived on the east side of the Kennebec, about three miles from the Augusta bridge, on a farm now (1899) owned by William Hunt. Although he was the shortest of four brothers, tradition says that he measured six feet and four inches in height, the tallest, John, being six feet seven inches. He had black hair, large black eyes and prominent Roman nose. He was very muscular and a story is told of his holding out a neighbor at arm's length clear of the floor and whipping him with an ox-goad for wife-beating. His neighbors used to call him "Mightypole." He was a polite man, strict in 202 STACKPOLE FAMILY family government, and a constant attendant at church, whither he used to ride three miles on horseback with his wife* on the pillion. Joseph Y. and Anna (Fletcher) Stackpole had, besides three who died in infancy, eight children, Joseph, Nahum, Elias, Rob- ert, Brian, Ann, Sarah and Hannah. I.

No ch. *His wife was small, of very light complexion, with blue eyes and black hair. She was descended from William Fletcher, who was buried in Biddeford, 1668. His son, Rev. Seth Fletcher, was minister at Wells, Me., in 1655. He afterward preached in Saco, leaving there in 1675. Folsom's Hist, of Biddeford says that he married before 1655 Mary, only dau. of Major Brian Pendleton. An old Hist, of Arundel thinks it was another Seth Fletcher who married the dau. of Pendleton. This Pendleton was born 1578, was in Watertown, Mass., in 1634, moved to Portsmouth, N. H., in 1650, went to Saco in 1665, returned to Ports- mouth in 1676 and died in 1680. His only son James moved to Conn. The son of Seth and Mary Fletcher was adopted by Brian Pendleton and received an inheritance in his Will, viz., land at Winter Harbor, Biddeford. He lived on what was called first Pendleton's Neck, after- wards Fletcher's Neck. He m. Sarah, dau. of Roger Hill. Was cap- tured by the Indians and died in Canada, about 1698. His son. Pendle- ton Fletcher, was captured at the same time. He returned and was a prominent citizen of Biddeford; moved to Arundel (Kennebunkport) and was made a proprietor of that town. He conveyed, in 1746, his property to his sons, John, Joseph, Brian, Pendleton, Seth and Samuel. John and Joseph settled in Arundel. Pendleton died on the Neck 17 April 1807, aged 100 years. Brian m. 4 April 1749 Anna Young of Bid- deford and moved to Augusta in 1780. He had children Anna, Robert, David, etc. DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH STACKPOLE OF AUGUSTA 203 He d. 1869.

James Stackpole was residing at or near Carlisle, Penn., in 1756. He was a mason by trade, and his wife's name was Mar- garet. For a time we had hope of connecting him lineally with the Stackpoles of Maine and New Hampshire, but after long study we are unable to state the connection. He died in 1778. His widow survived him until 1834. They had four children, I. Barbara Stackpole m. about 1780 Patrick Weldon, who died in 1813. About 1819 she m.

He was hving at the mouth of the Saco River in 1801. His intentions of marriage with Phoebe Curtis were recorded 24 June 1804. Their only child, JoTHAM, was born 6 March 1805 and was brought up by his grandfather Curtis. Jotham Stackpole Sen. was lost at sea shortly after his marriage. The intentions of marriage of his widow with Samuel H. Smith were recorded in Biddeford 7 Jan. 1809. Since the above was in print I have seen a Diary kept by the James Stackpole of Waterville, Maine, who married Abiel Hill of Biddeford. Under date of Aug. 11, 1796, he writes, "I heard of the death of my brother John and one of his sons." This brother was the John Stackpole 3d of Biddeford, Maine, men- tioned on page 68 of this book. It was he, perhaps, who was Collector of Biddeford in 1794. The "one of his sons" who died about the same time was probably the Abner of page 68, since no account of him can be found. There was, according to the Diary cited, another son at least, and all evidences point to the above mentioned Jotham Stackpole as that son. Jotham Stackpole, Jr., married Elizabeth Emmons, sister to the wife of Andrew Stackpole of Biddeford, and died in May, 1861. They had nine children. I.

Stacpole of Albany, N. Y. William Stackpole and brother, makers of Mathematical Instruments, came from Ireland and lived long in New York city. They had a great reputation in their line of business. Both died without issue. For over half a century there has been a Stackpole Street in Lowell, Mass., named for a branch of the family that came directly from Ireland. It has not been possible to get definite information concerning this branch. 2 14 STACKPOLE FAMILY Martin Stackpole, son of Michael and Mary (demons) of Ennistymon, Ireland, is living in Brockton, Mass., and has brothers Michael and Thomas.

THE FIRST REUNION In response to invitation sent by printed circular to as many of the Stackpole family as could be reached about seventy-five persons assembled, August 24, 1898, on the original Stackpole farm in Rollinsford, N. H. The house, now owned by the heirs of the late Samuel Hale, was thrown open, and a caterer had pre- pared a bounteous lunch under the shade of trees on the lawn. The day was extremely warm, yet everybody was in good humor. The site of the house first built by James Stackpole, the emi- grant, was visited, and then the burial-ground on the hill-top overgrown by trees and bushes. There was a committee of the whole on introductions. If any person did not get somewhat acquainted with all the rest, it was his own fault. Rev. Everett S. Stackpole, who had assumed the responsibility of issuing the invitations, gave some account of his visit to the cradle of the family in Pembrokeshire, Wales, and briefly rehearsed its migra- tions, illustrating his informal talk by many photographs. After lunch the company gathered about the "old oaken bucket that hung in the well" and with Rev. Charles Henry Stackpole of Dorchester, Mass., for toastmaster, listened to impromptu speeches by Dr. Paul A. Stackpole of Dover, N. H., Judge George F. Stackpole of Riverhead, N. Y., and others. A Stackpole Association was formed with the following officers : Judge George F. Stackpole, President ; Mrs. Annie W. Baer of Rollinsford, N. H., \^ice President : Rev. Everett S. Stackpole, Secretary; Mr. Charles S. Stackpole of Lawrence, Mass., Rev. Charles Henry Stackpole of Dorchester, Mass., and Mr. Martin P. Bennett of Dover, N. H., Executive Committee. 226 STACKPOLE FAMILY It was voted to hold the next Reunion the last Wednesday of August, 1899, the place of meeting to be decided by the Execu- tive Committee. After much social chat and the singing of Auld Lang Syne and America the company separated, feeling well paid for the efforts made to attend this first Reunion after a lapse of over two centuries from the landing of the emigrant ancestor.
