VOLUME II. HAVERHILL, MASS. CHASE BROTHERS, PRINTERS. 1900. 11*0 i^ e h! A THE US*ARV OF CONGRESS, Two CoHit» Rectiveo SEP. 12 1901 COPVRICHT ENTRY 6lass0^xx«. n». COPY B.

When I closed the first volume of my work, I thought to complete it in this volume, but it has proved much larger than I expected, and a third volume will be needed to contain the remainder of the family. This volume consists of branches from the fifth generation from number 558 to 684, the earlier generations and branches from 230 to 557 being in the first volume. I think the remaining branches when completed, will make a third volume as large as the one before you. In this work, I have made use of no unusual abbreviations, using those of months and states, also b., born; bapt., baptized; m., married; d., died; p., page; vol., volume, and dau., daughter. I make no distinction in the male and female lines, except omit-ting the name of White when derived from our emigrant ancestor. Each member is numbered at birth, and when the name is followed by it will be found again in its proper place with the birth number in a bracket at the right of the name. If no + follows, all I could learn is recorded at the birth. The small superior figure at the end of each name denotes the generation. ILLUSTRATIONS.

Aug. 16, 1719. His mother was dau. of John and Hannah Wilder of Lancaster, as shown by her father's will written in 1711, probated in 1720. After the death of his father she married Samuel Chamberlain of Chelmsford, and in 1731 Samuel Chamberlain was appointed administrator of the estate of John Whitcomb, Rebecca, his wife, being dead. Asa Whitcomb is first mentioned in the "Military Annals of Lancaster," July 24, 1748, when he acted as scout with several other men, by order of Col. Willard. He is next mentioned in 1755 as captain in muster roll of Capt. Asa Whitcomb, and he seems to have been in continuous service in the Colonial wars until 1758, and perhaps later. On the morning of the 19th of April, 1775, he and his brother, John (afterward Brigadier-General John) were colonels of the two Lancaster regiments. He seems to have been in continual service until April 1, 1777, when it is said that Col. Whitcomb's services ended and he returned to his farm, then the largest in the second precinct of the town. He experienced some trouble because of imperfect records in settling his accounts as pay-master-general of Massachusetts forces, an office which he held for some time during the siege of Boston. No suspicion, however, of his entire integrity, his unselfish patriotism, or his bravery, ever dimmed his reputation. Before the close of the war he removed to Princeton, served that town in the legislature, and there he died. Mar. 16, 1804, at the ripe age of 84. Col. Whitcomb had a former wife, Eunice Sawyer, by whom he had six children. Children: 9171. Asa Whitcomb, 6 b. in Lancaster, bapt. Feb. 26, 1764. 9172. Kate Whitcomb, 6 b. in Lancaster, bapt.
