rah M. Burnham.) The length of the school year had now increased to ten and one-half months. Miss Catherine Blanchard, who is remembered by Timothy Tufts, was the next teacher; she was followed by Henry C. Allen and Lewis Colby, who completed that school year, 1829-30. The number enrolled for the winter was seventy-four. We have learned that Mr. Allen came from Bridgewater. Lewis Colby, a student at Harvard College, finished out the term and proved most acceptable. He was born at Bowdoinham, Me., August 19, 1808, and graduated from Harvard in the class of 1832. He also held the degree of A. M. and graduated from the Newton Theological school in 1835. He was ordained to the Baptist ministry at Cambridgeport in September of that year. During the years 1836-38 he seems to have been teaching in the South—perhaps as professor in the theological department of a denominational school in South Carolina. From 1836 to 1842 he was pastor of a church at South Berwick, Me., and from 184

d. August 14, 1820. This Francis removed to Boston and with him the name of Whitmore departed from Medford. I have stated that although the family of Whitmore left Medford more than a hundred years ago, that we are indebted to one of its descendants for much of the genealogical work done in the History of Medford. William Henry Whitmore of Boston, is descended from the Francis and Mary Hall Whitmore who went to Maine. John, born November 25, 1754, went there with them. They lived in Bowdoinham, but John went to Bath and there married Huldah Crooker. He was a pilot and was drowned in the Kennebec river through the treachery of another pilot, who saw him fall back in his boat and sailed away, leaving him without assistance. This man acknowledged it on his death bed. This John and Huldah Crooker Whitmore had twelve children. The oldest son, William Dickman Whitmore, married Rhoda Woodward, January 20, 1805, and had four children, two of whom died in infancy. Of the other tw
