Samuel, S. of Jonathan (4), resided in Billerica and was perhaps the same whose estate was divided in 1742, to wid.

C. 1715, established himself in Cambridge as schoolmaster about 1724, having had the general charge of the school for some years previously, it would seem. In 1725 he purchased of Samuel Hancock the estate on the easterly side of Dunster Street, between Harvard and Mount Auburn streets, where he resided for the next half century.

He was several years Tutor, and a member of the Corporation; Selectman 1699, 1700; Representative of Cambridge 1696, 1699, and 1700; Speaker of the House 1700; Member of the Council 1706; Vice-judge of Admiralty; Judg

By his will, dated 29 Oct. 1744, he seems to have left neither wife nor children, as he gives his whole property to his father Samuel, his brothers Edward and John, and his sisters Abigail, Elizabeth, and Mary. 5. John, S. of Samuel (3), was a carpenter. In 1709 he purchased of Richard Proctor an estate on the westerly side of Dunster Street, between Mount Auburn and Winthrop streets, on or near which thena Shipley of Pepperell Dec. 1792, and had Alphonso, b. 2 Oct. 1793, and perished in the ill-fated steamer Lexington, Jan. 1840, leaving wife and children; Sidney, b. 22 Oct. 1799; John, b. 2 Ap. 1802; Albert, b. 22 Nov. 1812, d. 30 Oct. 1813.

By his will, dated 15 Feb. 1736-7, he distributed his estate, naming as legatees, his w. Ruth; brothers Timothy and Joseph, and Andrew Bordman, who by special direction was to be regarded as one of his natural brethren, sister Ruth, w. of Bryant Parrott, Esq., and the wives of his deceased brothers Ebenezer and John.

ued nearly to New Creek. On October 22d, General Kelley was assigned to command of the Federal department of Harper's Ferry and Cumberland. On the 25th he massed a still more formidable force at New Creek, and marched against Romney, while Colonel John's Maryland cavalry regiment moved from Patterson's creek to strike the Confederates in the rear. Passing Mechanicsburg Gap without resistance, they found the Confederates on the 26th in position on the cemetery hill at the town, where the litonald's command retired, withdrawing their artillery and making another stand east of town, from which they were again compelled to retreat. General Kelley reported the capture of artillery and baggage train and small-arms, but no prisoners. Colonel John's cavalry, mentioned above, was met at South Branch bridge, near Springfield, by Colonel Monroe, and defeated with considerable loss. A Federal force was stationed at Romney, while Colonel Monroe encamped 15 miles east, at the town of Hanging

Arnett, afterward lieutenant-colonel Twentieth cavalry, succeeded by Capt. W. P. Thompson, promoted to colonel Nineteenth cavalry; B, of Highland county; C, of Harrison county, Capt. U. M. Turner, Lieuts. W. P. Cooper, Norval Lewis; D, of Gilmer county, Capt. J. S. K. McCutcheon, afterward lieutenant-colonel and wounded at Cedar Mountain, and Lieut. John Campbell; E, of Highland county; F, of Randolph county, Captain Harding; G, of Pocahontas county; H, of Barbour county, Capt. Thomas Bradford, Lieut. I. V. Johnson; I, of Lewis county, Capt. Alfred Jackson, of Weston, afterward lieutenant-colonel and wounded at Cedar Mountain, Lieut. Nathan Clawson. Col. William L. Jackson was the first in command, and early in 1862 was succeeded by John S. Hoffman, of Clarksburg. John G. Gittings, adjutant of the regiment two and a half years, was afte
