As a boy he attended the old Mayhew school, and after his school days entered the printing office of his father. He learned the trade of painter and glazier, and in 1841, being of age and having completed his apprenticeship, he entered the employ of Levi Boles & Company, which was succeeded by the firm of E. A. Carlisle, Pope & Company, in Haymarket square, and was continuously with these companies for sixty-six years. Mr. Carlisle went back and forth from his home to his business twice a day, always walking, which in part aided in keeping him so well and active up to the time of his death. He lived for a time in Monument square, Charlestown, later in Malden, removing from there to his home in Temple street, Boston, where he resided many years. He was regarded most highly for his many excellent traits of character. He was treasurer of the First Free Will Baptist Church in.

WRIGHT of his family, was of an ancient Scotch Highland clan. He resided at Dellanny, Argyleshire, Scotland. He married Agnes Ferguson and among their children was Duncan, born in 1776, mentioned below.

(II) Duncan Wright, son of Peter Wright (1), was born in Dellanny, Argyleshire, in 1776, and died in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, January 26, 1836. He was educated in his native town and learned the trade of chemical bleaching there. He lived in Arklestone, near Paisley, Scotland. In 1812 he decided to seek his fortune in America and without his family sailed for the United States with the intention of making his home in Philadelphia. But the United States and Great Britain were involved in war and the ship on which he was a passenger was captured by an American privateer, "The Yankee,' Captain James De- Wolfe, commanding, and he was taken to Bristol, Rhode Island. When Captain De- Wolfe discovered the trade of Mr. Wright he sent him to Dighton where he was made superintendent of the Arkwright Mill bleachery. Captain DeWolfe was a part owner of this concern. It is believed that Mr. Wright was the first chemical bleacher working at this trade in ths country. His wife and three sons, constituting the little family he had left in

Scotland, joined hm in 1815 after the war was over, sailing in the ship "General Knox" and landing in Boston. His wife, Janet Wilson, was the daughter of Alexander Wilson, 2d., of Paisley, Scotland, and the sister of Alexander Wilson, the pioneer American ornithologist.

On the arrival of his family Mr. Wright went to Smithfield, Rhode Island, where he worked for several years. From there he went to Waltham, Massachusetts, and established a bleachery of his own. He sold out shortly afterward to the Boston Manufacturing Company, and in 1820 established another bleachery at Medway, where he remained a number of years. Later he was engaged in calico printing at Fall River. His last years were spent in Tewksbury. Among his children was Alexander, born May 4, 1800, mentioned below.

(IIT) Alexander Wright, son of Duncan Wright (2), was born in Arklestone, near Paisley, Scotland, May 4, 1800, and died in Lowell, June 7, 1852. He came to this country with his mother and two brothers in 1815. In 1820 he began to manufacture coach lace at Medway, Massachusetts. In 1825 he turned his attention to the manufacture of carpets with the intention of establishing a carpet mill in New England. Wishing to obtain all the information possible relating to the carpet industry he visited Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where there was a small carpet mill in operation, but he was refused all information and not allowed to enter the works. Soon afterward he went to Scotland and bought three carpet looms. He brought-back with him two operatives, Claude and William Wilson. The ship in which they came met with a series of storms and reached port badly damaged. He set up his carpet looms at Medway and soon had them in successful operation. As a business venture the carpet mill was not as successful as Mr. Wright anticipated and he sold his plant to Mr. Burdett, who in turn sold it to Frederick Cabot and Patrick T. Jackson. They obtained a charter from the general court of Massachusetts and organized the Lowell Manufacturing Company, February 22, 1828, at the home of Mr. Jackson on Winter street, Boston. In March the company began to build in Lowell. Mr. Wright remained in charge of the plant at Medway until the buildings at Lowell were completed when he removed to Lowell and became superintendent of the Lowell Manufacturing Company. Under his direction the first carpet was woven in Lowell. His mechanical skill and business foresight had much to do with the upbuilding and growth of the corporation with which he was identified. Through a suggestion made by Mr. Wright in 1839 the inventor, E. B. Bigelow, perfected a power loom for carpet manufacture. It was introduced by the Lowell Manufacturing Company in 1843 and revolutionized the methods of making carpets. Mr. Wright was interested, not only in the development and success of his own company but in the industries of the city and in its municipal affairs. He was a progressive citizen. In politics he was a Whig and he represented his district in the general court in 1836. He was a member of the first board of aldermen of the city of Lowell. He was especially interested in the improvement of the public schools system, and lent his influence always to advance the educational facilities of the city. In religion he was a Unitarian.

He married, October 13, 1828, Sabra Wiswall Claflin, who was born at Holliston, Massachusetts, July 16, 1807, and died at Lowell, October 10, 1881, daughter of William and Anna (Underwood) Claflin.

Bremerman, January 6, 1870; he died August 22, 1880.

(1) Robert Claflin, then spelled Mackelothlan, was born probably in Scotland. The name was probably Maclachian originally. With the disuse of the "Mac" came the modification of the spelling in this country to its present form of Claflin. According to family tradition he was a Scotch soldier and was probably one of the prisoners sent over by Cromwell after the battle of Worcester. These prisoners were sold for a short term of years as servants to the colonists. It was the cus- tom of the purchasers to help the Scotchmen make a start in life and procure them farms and homes for their families. Mackclothlan was admitted a townsman of Wenham, Massachusetts, November 4, 1661. In 1669 he had a grant of land. He was elected highway surveyor of Wenham. In 1673 he sold his house and farm to the town for a parsonage, taking in exchange about fifteen acres of land and in this deed his occupation is given husbandman. The house that he built in Wenham is still standing and in a good state of preservation. The old well near the house still furnishes a supply of good water. The place is now or was lately owned by a Richards family.

He married, October 14, 1664, Joanna Warner, daughter of John Warner, of Ipswich and Brookfield; Massachusetts. Robert died prior to September 19, 1690, when an inventory of his estate was filed by Thomas Fiske, administrator. In the probate records the name is spelled Mackclafflin. The receipts of his children for their portions of the estate show that the Mack (meaning son of) was dropped early. The signatures were: Elizabeth (X) (her mark) Clafflin, Daniel Claflin, Abigale Clafflin, and Antipas Claflin, and in some of the papers the name of the pioneer is also spelled without the prefix.

(Il) Daniel Claflin, son of Robert Claflin (1), was born at Wenham, January 25, 1674. He was a tanner and lived in his native town until after May 25, 1722, when he conveyed _to Emerson Cogswell, of Ipswich, his home, bark mill and tan vat and material for carrying on his trade of tanner, removing thence to Hopkinton, Massachusetts, where he was one of the earliest settlers. He was selectman in

1727; treasurer in 1729 and several years afterward. He married, at Wenham, March 11, 1701, Sarah Edwards, probably granddaughter of Rice Edwards, of Salem.

honored family, and lived there all his life. He married Maria Bundy, of Pittonwilts, England. Children: Henry, John, James E., mentioned below; Mary J., Ellen, Jane, Susan. (Il) James E. Andrews, son of John Andrews (1), was born at Quidhampton, Wiltshire, November 17, 1852, and was educated in the schools there. He worked with his father in the market gardening business, raising vegetables out of season in greenhouses. Later he engaged in business on his own account, having a general store at Broadstone, near Bournemouth, England. After a few years he gave up his mercantile business to take charge of the gardens and greenhouses of one of the finest hotels in England, the Royal-Bath, at Bournemouth. This hotel is the stopping place of English royal families and nobility. He carried on the hotel gardens with great success. In May, 1892, he decided to seek a larger and better field and came to America. During his first five years in this country he had greenhouses and market gardens at Watkins, New York. He was then in the same line of business at East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, for three years. He sold out and removed to South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and entered into the same business with a partner, but after spending considerable time and money decided that the venture was not to be successful and gave it up; then taking charge of the greenhouses and gardens of one of the leading Boston florists. Afterward he was employed as superintendent for a Canton florist for three years. Then he decided to engage in business for himself once more. He bought a place having a greenhouse and established himself in market gardening at Billerica, Massachusetts, March 15, 1906, where he has since lived. He has been very successful and numbers among his customers some of the leading hotels of Boston. He has one of the best equipped and most productive truck gardens in that section of the state. He has 10,000 square feet of glass in his greenhouses. He makes a specialty of growing mushrooms, producing large quantities yearly. He is an attendant of the Episcopal church.

He married, August, 1883, Rose Brown, of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England. They. have one child, Emily, born July 3, 1886, married, January, 1904, William Hunt, a merchant of Canton, Massachusetts; have one child, Dorothy, born September, 1905.

William Hunt, the immigrant ancestor of Henry Hamilton Hunt, was born in England about 1603, and came to New England with the early exodus of the Puritans from England, and settled at Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony, before 1640. The town records give his name among those who took the freeman's oath June 2, 1641. The town was at the time less than six years in existence, having been formed out of the plantation at Musktequid, and established with church and town government September 3, 1635. William Hunt was an English yeoman, and took up land in both Concord and Sudbury, which latter town was established out of "the new plantation by Con- died in 1661, and in 1664 he married Mercy Hurd, widow of Thomas Brigham, and widow, a second time, of Edmund Rice, the immigrant who settled in Sudbury before 1639, freeman 1642, deputy to the general court 1643, deacon in the church 1648, and subsequently proprietor of Marlborough, established as a town May 31, 1660, and died there 1663. His widow and ten children divided his estate, and his widow on becoming the wife of William Hunt, in 1664, induced her third husband to settle on her estate, and he died there in October, 1667, leaving a will dated October 23, 1667, in which is named his wife Mercy and children: Samuel, Nehemiah (2), Isaac and Elizabeth Barnes. His son Nehemiah married Mary Toole in 1663, and his son Isaac married Mary Stone in 1667. It is probable that Nehemiah (2) was the ancestor of Henry Hamilton Hunt, as the name of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather does not appear among the descendants of Isaac. (VII) Jeremiah Hunt, son of Jeremiah and Mary Hunt, was born in Brunswick, Maine, November 20, 1804. He was a shipbuilder, a and Susan (Dunning) Woodside of Brunswick, Maine. (Susan Dunning was a lineal descendant of Lord Ashburton). Salome Green Woodside was born in Brunswick, August 9, 1814, and died there in 1897. Jeremiah Hunt died in Brunswick, Maine, January, 1881.

(VIIL) Henry Hamilton Hunt was born in Brunswick, Maine, September 10, 1847, son of Jeremiah and Salome Green (Woodside) Hunt. He was educated in the public schools and when eighteen years of age went to Portland, Maine, where he learned the trade of carpenter and builder, and in 1868 removed to Boston, Massachusetts, where he carried on his trade up to 1872, when he removed to West Newton, Massachusetts, and in 1878 established an extensive manufactory with ample steam power, and engaged in contracting for the erection of first class wooden and brick buildings; and many of the fine mansions in West Newton and the other Newtons, the seat of some of the most elegant private residences in New England, are the results of his skill as a builder and constructor.

He is a Democrat in political principles, and he has served the city of Newton first as a member of the common council, then from the third ward in 1888, and as alderman 1893, 1894 and 1898. He is a Baptist in religious profession, and a liberal contributor to all the works of benevolence and charity carried on by that denomination. His fraternal association is with the Masonic order and with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and he is a member of Dalhousie Lodge of Newton, F. and A. M.; Newton Royal Arch Chapter ; Gethsemene Commandery; Boston Lodge of Perfection; Giles Yates Council of the New Rose Croix; Princes of Jerusalem; Boston Consistory, 32d degree; Improved Order of Red Men. His club memberships include the Newton Club and the Katahdin Club. He was married at West Newton, October, 1876, to Emma Amelia, daughter of Isaac and Char- - lotte Frogley, and the children by this marriage are: 1. Richard Harold Hunt, graduate of Newton high school, 1893, and of Harvard University, class of 1897; married, September 19, 1903, Mabel Ross of Florence, Massachusetts, and they have two children: Ross Franklin Hunt and Rosemary Hunt. 2.

Learned, of West Newton. (Garfield Learned was up to the time of his death editor of Boston Shipping List). The children by the second marriage are: Harry Learned Hunt, born in West Newton, Massachusetts, October 2, 1888; and Marguerite Hunt, born in 'West Newton, Massachusetts, May 19, 1891, and in 1907 a member of the freshman class of the Newton high school.

Edward Jenkins, the earliest known ancestor of the family came from England as an employee of Nathaniel Tilden in or prior to 1643, the year in which his name first appears in the Scituate town records. He was one of the Conihassett partners, 1646, was made a freeman in 1647, kept an ordinary for many years, and was representative to the general court in 1657. He died at Scituate in 1699, and his will discloses the fact that he was among the few liberal Puritans then residing there, for in that document he says: "It is my will that bread and beer be served at my funeral. Also that a sermon be preached." It may not be out of place here to state the more rigid nonconformists forbade sermons or even prayers at funerals because the Established Church of England countenanced such proceedings. The maiden name of the first wife of Edward Jenkins is unknown. In 1684 he married for his second wife Widow Mary Ripley, of Hingham. Those of his children of whom there is any record were: Thomas, Edward and Mary.

[Isaac Jenkins, son of Isaac Jenkins, was born in Boston, December 8, 1817, died August 24, 1857, in Boston. In early life he was a housepainter in Boston, but finally abandoned that occupation for the West India trade transporting cargoes of barrel staves to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Bahamas, and exchanging them for trepical products. Retiring from business, he made an extended foreign tour and his diary, giving an interesting description of his travels in Europe and other parts of the world, is now in the possession of his grandson, Henry Isaac Jenkins, of this review. During his latter years he dealt quite largely in real estate. He married, March 10, 1840, Sarah T. Hillett, who was born in Boston, May 27, 1815. She survived him and married for her second husband Francis Jenkins, a native of Hingham, Massachusetts, and a brother of Gideon and William Jenkins of that town. Francis Jenkins was a man of considerable ability, and a staunch Jackson Democrat in his younger days. Mrs. Jenkins died at Onset, Massachusetts, August 20, 1903.

Daniel Jenkins, son of Isaac Jenkins, was born in Boston, December 25, 1840, died August 3, 1887.

Mr. Jenkins married (second), September 3, 1878, Margaret Wiggin Veazie, who was his first wife's maternal aunt. She was born in Tuftonboro, New Hampshire, August 13, 1833. She is now the wife of a Mr. Townsend and resides in the state of Ohio.

Henry Isaac Jenkins, only son of Daniel Jenkins, was born in West Newton, Massachusetts, February 4, 1867. He acquired his education in the public schools, and at an early age turned his attention to mercantile pursuits. He is now employed as a salesman by the well-known leaf tobacco house of J. F. Davenport, No. 7, Custom House street, Boston, and stands high in the confidence of the firm. He is an enthusiastic sportsman, and at his beautiful home on Mountain avenue, Malden, has a large and unique collection of mounted specimens of his prowess in the forest. His hunting expeditions have extended to the most remote parts of North America, and the most notable feature of his collection of trophies of the chase are the heads of a pair of mountain sheep, very rare specimens of their kind, which he was fortunate enough to secure in a portion of the wilds of Alaska, which had hitherto never been visited by a white man. In politics Mr. Jenkins is a Republican, but has rever participated actively in public affairs. In his religious belief he is a Universalist. He affiliates with the Masonic order as did his father, the latter having been a charter member of the Royal Arch
