Captain John Fullonton, the first of the name in this town, was brought up in what was mostly a wilderness, in Epping, when it was a part of Exeter.  Probably there were no schools, yet he learned to read and write.  His penmanship, a sample of which is now before us, was of the first order for that age, indeed, is not excelled by many in this time.  It has neatness and mechanical finish.  His son, Jeremiah, wrote a plain hand, that all could read.  We have both names written together, in signing a document, but the father excelled.

His first purchase in the direction of the homestead, obtained a little later and now in possession of John E. Cram, was one forty-eighth part of a saw-mill, called Perkins’ mill.  It stood a mile east of John E. Cram’s, on the small stream west of Lowell Clifford’s, in Epping.  The deed was given by James Norris, 3d, of Epping, and is dated July 3, 1757.  It is called “Pertuckway Loer Mill.”  The price of the forty-eighth part was twenty-five pounds, Old Tenor.  It might have been one pound, five shillings, lawful money, although likely less.  Probably not over six dollars in our currency.  The deed specifies a right of way to the mill “for Logging Logs.”  And there the first boards were cut out, used not long after in the neighborhood above, where he took up his residence.

James Fullonton, a brother of Captain John, came with him to town, as we have stated.  It appears that he sold out to move to Sanbornton in 1770, but the deed was not acknowledged by his wife till 1778.  Her name probably was Martha.  We have the deed, with her signature.  It is “Marthew,” as she signed it.

Jesse Gile lived on the place where his grandson, Martin V. B., now lives.  He was a man who made no great show, but possessed good judgment, and a sound understanding.  He died Aug. 7, 1838.  His children by his wife, Mary, were:

1. Ruth, b. June 1, 1795, lived in town, died April 1, 1871.

2. David, b. March 30, 1797, lived in the west part, and about 1848, when the line was straightened, his house was in Candia, where he died.

5. Mary, b. June 21, 1807, married Nathaniel D. West, and died April 16, 1857.

6. Jesse, b. March 3, 1812.  He lived on the home farm, married Eliza Towle.  He has always been willing to work for a living, and it is pleasant to say that from that humble home, children came forth to act a good part.  They are the following:  Martha V. B., on the home place, Nancy, Elisha T., Lavinia, married Henry O. Towle, Gilman E., Lydia, married Mr. Webster of East Kingston, Erastus B., Ellen, married Mr. Hayes, lives in Milton, and Jesse.  Two died young.

Another, a relative of the Gile family, should be named.  Mary N. Gile was a native of the town ; in the common school, evinced good scholarship ; much by her own energy and industry, attended higher schools, so that she became qualified to teach, in which she became very successful.  After pursuing this calling for a few years, another situation for usefulness presented itself.  On the 25th of July, 1860, she was united in marriage with Nathaniel G. Knowles of Haverhill, Mass., where she resides.

The Gilmans of Raymond sprang from a family in Kingston, probably a branch of the Exeter family.  Nicholas Gilman, of Kingston, came here as we have named in our journey about town.  Chapter IV., page 27.  His wife’s name was Elizabeth.  The following were their children, probably the most, or all, were born here:

In 1649, Leonard and Margaret his wife had a daughter born.  They had three sons, John, born 1650, Matthew, 1652, Jonathan, 1657.  John, the first born son of Leonard, was sacrificed in King Phillip’s war, in the massacre at Bloody Brook, Deerfield, Mass., where perished 90 brave youths, the flower of Essex County, John, the son of Leonard, being one of the number.

Matthew, Leonard’s second son, settled in Haverhill, Mass.  From him descended the Harrimans of Plaistow, the town north.  The first, of whom we have an account there, was John.  Farmer, New Hampshire’s former great antiquarian, gives his name John, but Mrs. Fellows of Haverhill, a great grand-daughter, gives us his name as Joseph.  Farmer says, he is supposed to have been the first man in New Hampshire who adopted Baptist sentiments.  We think his church relations were in Newtown, now Newton, where the first Baptist church in this State was formed in 1755.  This Harriman was a deacon, and died in 1820, aged 97.  Deacon Harriman had a son David, we think a good man, with a very pious wife.  Two sons, John and David, became preachers.  John was ordained in a barn in Plaistow, April, 1812.  He was known in most of the towns about here as very useful in his calling.  While living in Canterbury, he was Representative in the Legislature.  He was a man of great purity of life, warm-heartedness as a Christian, a good singer, and always happy.  He died in Newton, April 8, 1864, aged 82.  He belonged to the denomination called Christians.

David was ordained in Candia, where he lived some years, in 1817.  He was a Free Baptist, was paster in Weare some years ; died in Sutton, Dec. 1, 1844 ; buried at his home in Weare.  A son, David P., was a college graduate, a Free Baptist minister, and died in Strafford, June 23. 1864.

Jonathan, the youngest son, remained on the homestead.  Margaret, his mother, died in 1676.  Leonard, his father, the common ancestor of all the Harrimans of New England, died Aug. 19, 1691.  Jonathan married Margaret Wood.  To this couple were born six sons, namely:  Jonathan, 1692 ; Leonard, 1694 ; Nathaniel, 1696 ; John, 1703 ; Samuel, 1705 ; Jeremiah, 1709.

The descendants of these, as well as the descendants of Matthew, who settled in Haverhill, are found in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and many other States.

Samuel Harriman, above named, married Oct. 16, 1729, Jane Colman of Newbury.  At the organization of the second church in Rowley (now Georgetown) this Samuel was one of the members.  He had a farm in this part of Rowley, and either lived here, or at Newburyport, at the time of his death, which resulted from a fall from the beams of his barn, about 1756.  This couple lost all the children they then had (three), in the great epidemic, “throat distemper,” of 1736.  Nine hundred children, in Essex county alone, were swept off by this disease, within the space of six months.  Perhaps there was more superstition in that age, than in this.  During the prevalence of this disease, but before it had reached her family, Mrs. Samuel Harriman, being in the cellar, heard, as she believed, three loud and distinct raps, sounding like one striking knuckles against the ceiling.  On getting up stairs, she looked about for the cause of this rapping, but finding none, she was painfully impressed with the conviction that what she heard was but the “forerunner of the death of her children.”  The disease entered her house, and, in a few days, her three little ones were deposited in the same grave.  Subsequently, two children were born to them : Jane, in 1740, who became the wife of Benjamin Evans, Esq., of Rocky Hill, Salisbury, Mass., and Asa, born in 1742.  Asa, at the age of fourteen (his father having died from a fall in the barn), was put under guardianship of his Uncle Coleman.  In 1759, at the age of seventeen, we find him in the military service in the French War.  He served in Col. Joseph Gerrish’s Regiment, raised for the invasion of Canada.  Though he had hardly attained to manhood, he possessed great muscular power, and in leisure hours during his military service, he was much engaged in wrestling, jumping the pole, lifting at stiff heels, &c.  He obtained a fund of stories and anecdotes, while in this service, that lasted him through a long life, and he had a great faculty of interesting old and young, in recounting the events of the war.

March 25, 1760, at the age of eighteen, Asa Harriman married Joanna Beal, of York, Me.  She was of the same age, and is represented as having been a large, courtly woman, of fine personal appearance, and much goodness of heart.  Asa inherited from his father the Rowley farm, to which he took his young bride in 1760.  They lived here several years ; they then sold out and moved to Epping, N.H., having bought the farm in that town, now owned by Capt. George N. Shepard, of the Eleventh Regiment, N.H. Volunteers.  The children of Asa and Joanna were,  Jane, born 1762 ; Asa, Jr., born 1766 ; Phebe, born 1768 ; Betsey, 1770 ; Samuel, 1773 ; Dudley, 1776 ; Jesse, 1778 ; Sally, 1780, and John, 1783.  The descendants of these are in all the New England States, particularly Maine and New Hampshire.  Asa, Jr., in 1786, at the age of twenty, married Sarah Evans, of Salisbury Point, Mass.  In 1788, this couple emigrated into the wilderness, and settled in the south-westerly part of Warner, N.H., at the foot of the Mink Hills.  This farm consisted of 100 acres of wild land, which, on being cleared up, proved to be productive, but the privations of these first settlers were bitter, and their struggles against want and hunger, severe.  A young family of four children had been born to them, Nancy, Phebe, Benjamin Evans and David.  The sun had begun to shine in the wilderness, and the circumstances of the family were beginning to wear a more cheerful aspect, when it was visited by a terrible calamity.  In March, 1794, Asa Harriman, then but twenty-eight years of age, was killed by a falling tree.  His burial service was numerously attended, for he was a man of sterling qualities, and whoever knew him, was his friend.  He was a man of great physical strength, was “six feet two,” and weighed two hundred.  Benjamin Evans Harriman was three years of age when his father died, having been born Jan. 14, 1791.  He remained on the old homestead, and added largely to its acres.  He was a good farmer, and an upright man, considerably in public life, and represented his town several years in the Legislature.  He married Hannah Flanders, also of Warner, by whom he had a large family, viz : Henry H., Benjamin F., Walter (Col. of the Eleventh Regiment N.H. Volunteers, and Brigadier General by Brevet, and subsequently Governor of his native State two years), David C., Elkanan W., Augustine W., Leonidas, Hannah, Helen, and Frank P.  All are now living in sight of old Kearsarge Mountain.  Benjamin E. died Oct., 1856, aged 65.

Dudley and Jane, brother and sister of Asa, Jr., emigrated to the State of Maine, where they became heads of large families.  Betsey married John Flanders of Salisbury, Me., had eight children, only two of whom are now known to be living, Benjamin E., of Brentwood, N.H., and Joseph, late of Boston, Mass.

It has been stated before, that during the Revolutionary war, Asa Harriman moved from Mass. to Epping, N.H., where his three youngest children, Jesse, Sally and John were born.  About the year 1785, he moved from Epping to Raymond, and settled on an elevation now known as “Harriman Hill,” about a mile from the Center, where he closed a life of forescore years, his wife surviving him three years.  Jesse inherited the paternal estate, to which he and his descendants have added largely in acres and culture.  It may be said of him, he had a sound mind in a sound body.  His physical force was very great, few of his contemporaries, being able to match him.  He possessed many sterling qualities of mind and heart, and among others in a high degree the rare virtue of common sense, which made him a man of correct judgment in everything pertaining to the sphere of life in which he moved ; fortitude in suffering, that true courage or presence of mind that renders its possessor calm, serene and efficient in times of danger, and the benevolence of heart that forgets itself in its eager desire to administer to the necessities of others.  It was a part of his philosophy, that every man should pursue that course of life for which nature designed him ; that no one should seek to advance his own interest by engaging in any business detrimental to the public weal.  It was his ambition to subdue and beautify the earth, to render it obedient to the demands of moral nature, to rear flocks and herds, to keep them in high condition, and train them to become the ready vassals of his will.  And now, having faithfully served his day and generation, and almost reaching the half-way milestone of the last decade of a century, he passed calmly and joyously from the friends he loved to those who had gone before, exclaiming, “I have a hope as an anchor to the soul.  I see visions of beauty and glory ‘beyong the river.’ “  He died March 28, 1872.  He was married, in 1804, to Abigail Tilton, also of Raymond.  To them were born Samuel M., a public teacher of youth for more than forty consecutive years, John Dudley, Mary T. (Mrs. Henry Hardy), Emily B. (Mrs. Rawson), of Chicago, G. Washington who died at the age of twelve, and Josiah, who also died young.  His wife, Abigail Tilton, died, Nov. 13, 1824, aged 44.

Hannah Locke, whom he married in 1825, died Feb. 7, 1868, in her 84th year.

Samuel M. Harriman, who resides on the homestead, was married to Elizabeth Locke, of Seabrook, in 1837.  To them were born five children, two of whom survive, Ellen E., and Luvan A. ; the other three, a son and two daughters died in infancy.  His wife, Elizabeth Locke, having died in 1856, aged 37 years, he was married to Hannah Maria Hazelton of Chester, Oct. 9, 1867.

J. Dudley Harriman, now residing on the previously named hills, was married to Almira T. Rowson, of Douglas, Mass., in 1839.  To them were born two sons and a daughter.  The oldest, Adelaide, who died in her twenty-third year, Angello who died in infancy, and John Wesley.  The children of Henry and Mary T. Hardy, who live at Raymond Center, are Albert D., George H. and Mary Abbie, the wife of J.W. Fisk.

The children of Emily, Mrs. Rowson, are Fannie, Mrs. S. W. Adams, of Chicago, Celeste L., Mrs. Baker of Albany, New York, Byron and Ada.

Sally Harriman, sister of Jesse, was married to William Stevens, and became the mother of eight children.  Sarah, the oldest daughter, was married to Joseph Fisk, of Derry, they moved to Raymond in 1844, and have one son, J. Wilson, who represented the town in 1874, also elected in 1875.

Page 234

His third child was Samuel, born in Hampton Falls in 1720.  He came to Raymond in 1743, an early settler.  His father gave him a lot of land in the west part, near the Langford road in Candia.  His age was 23, young and courageous, planting himself in the wilderness, with but small openings, where soon after there were terrible fears of the Indians.  It is related that the great hope of safety was, if danger was imminent, to flee to a garrison in Chester.  We have called this town by its present name, but it was called Freetown till Mr. Healey had been here twenty-one years.

Samuel’s wife was named Abigail, but what her other name was, we have not ascertained.  Two years after coming , that is, Nov. 5, 1745, a child was born, who was named William Smith.  We had a record of but one child born here before that in this place.

It is a tradition that Romulus, the founder of Rome, five centuries before the Saviour came, was suckled by a wolf.  We do not suppose children were here early, but we have only to look back to that time, and see babes cradled in the rudest of cottages, amid the howling of wolves and other wild beasts.

These parents had a large family of children.  Besides William Smith, we have the names of Sarah, Samuel, Lydia ; Jonathan, Elizabeth and Abigail, died young.  It appears that Mr. Healey’s wife then died.  He married again, and if our record is correct, had nine children more, making sixteen in all.  We have the name Flanders, and the following:

Benjamin, b. Aug. 28, 1766.  He died in a barn, Dec. 26, 1826.  This will be noticed, together with some of his peculiar characteristics, in the Chapter on Casualties.

Jonathan, b. March 8, 1768.  He lived in the edge of Candia, was the father of Dea. Jefferson Healey there, and Samuel Healey in the Gile district, in this town.  He was drowned in a well in Candia, Oct. 21, 1846.

Then there were Elizabeth, Nathaniel, Mirriam, Abigail, and the last Moses, born May 12, 1782.  We find the record of his birth in the hand-writing of his much older brother, William Smith, who was waggish and rather mirthful, thus: “Mow Healey Was born in 1782 November 29 one fridaday.”  This date does not agree with that we have given.

William Smith Healey married, and he and his wife Elizabeth had children as follows:

Abigail, b. Dec. 13, 1772, died Feb. 24, 1787.

Mary, b. Feb. 28, 1775.

Betty, b. Aug. 22, 1777.

Sarah, b. March 18, 1781, died young.

Molly, b. July 21, 1782.

Sarah, b. Feb. 26, 1784.

Phineas, b. Jan. 16, 1785.

Olley, b. Nov. 29, year not given, died March 8, 1787.  The name probably was Olive, but the pronunciation was often Olley, and we follow the spelling we find.

Smith, b. April 21, 1788.

There were two others, John and Phebe.  These make eleven.  Possibly others besides the two noted, died young.

Samuel Healey brother of William Smith Healey and Naomi, his wife, were married Nov. 13, 1777.  Children:

Reuben, b. Feb. 23, 1779.

Dolly, b. Feb. 7, 1782.

Elliot, b. March 22, 1784.

Samuel, b. April 10, 1786.

Only space can be well afforded for an account of the sons of the first Samuel Healey in town, and their issue, as these are the principal ones that lived here.  Samuel Healey, in District No. 6, son of Jonathan of Candia, has been named.

Smith Healey, son of William Smith Healey, lived on the Langford road where Widow Roberts now does, in a house since taken down.  Warren and Thomas M., of this town, and William, of Candia, are sons.

He died June 20,1827.  His widow, some years later, became the second wife of Jonathan Smith, father of A. Bean Smith in the Village.

Reuben Healey, son of Samuel, son of the first Samuel in town, was the father of Samuel Healey in the Dudley district.

Moses Healey, son of the first Samuel in town, lived at the Green, and died June 28, 1865.  Of his sons, True died in the Lane district; Edward in Boston in 1874; John married Sarah Heath, lived on the Green, now on the Hodgkins place, has been one of the Selectmen and Representative.  Children:  J. Francis in town ; Mary J. was a teacher, married Isaac Underhill, lives in Manchester ; James M., in town ; Dana C., in Maine ; Annie P, and Edward S., at home.  Two others died young.
