se. Of Doch Perkins we find no trace. The only men of the name in Charlestown then were shoemakers and blacksmiths, descendants of Abraham Perkins, of Hampton.

ed the railroad-bridge; a corps of twelve thousand men, temporarily formed of detachments taken from various divisions, was sent on the 26th of May, under Blair's command, to oppose an expected movement of Johnston. At the end of one week this corps returned to Vicksburg, after having followed the course of the Yazoo for a distance of forty-four miles. A few days previously Porter had sent five ships The De Kalb, Choctaw, Linden, Petrel, and Forest Rose, under the command of Lieutenant-commander John. G. Walker.—Ed. to visit this river and to destroy all the enemy's vessels that might happen to be lying there. The Federal fleet, arriving at Haines' Bluff on the 20th, had been the first to occupy this position, which had been abandoned by the enemy, and on the following day it reached Yazoo City at the very moment when a fire kindled by the Confederates was consuming the arsenal, together with three powerful vessels far advanced toward construction.

remained there two days and went presumably to Boston with but two passengers. The following year she made a few trips to Hingham (as alluded to) and in two succeeding years ran to Nahant, Marblehead and Salem, when she was sold and broken up. The Eagle was smaller than the first, being a little over ninety feet long and less than nineteen feet wide. See Essex Historical Collections, July, 1914. We now come to Medford's early steamboat days and the third steamboat, the Merrimack, Captain John L. Sullivan, that ran on the inland route and made a continuous voyage treble the length of those of the Massachusetts and Eagle. She was a still smaller craft, less than a dozen feet wide and fifty or sixty feet long, and of light draught, owing to the physical limitation of her route, the fresh shallow water of the Middlesex canal and the Merrimack river. The former had been in operation but fifteen years, and as yet had paid no dividends, when the steamboat Merrimack first ploughed i
mouth, Me. Here, however, Mr. Brooks's somewhat liberal theology proved unacceptable to his flock, and in March 1769 he was at his own request dismissed from his pastorate and returned to Medford. He took an active part in the stirring events of 19 April 1775, and in 1777 was appointed chaplain on the frigate Hancock, which was captured by the British off Halifax, Mr. Brooks being held for some time as a prisoner. By his wife, Abigail Brown, whom he married in September 1764, daughter of Rev. John and Joanna (Cotton) Brown of Haverhill and great-great-granddaughter of the famous Puritan teacher, Rev. John Cotton of Boston, Mr. Brooks had two sons and two daughters. His second son, Hon. Peter Chardon Brooks, who was born at North Yarmouth 6 January 1767 and died in Boston 1 January 1849, was named for one of his father's Harvard classmates, Peter Chardon, who died prematurely in the West Indies in October 1766, the son of an eminent Boston merchant of Huguenot descent, whose house s
