CAPTAIN HEZEKIAH S (Nathaniel-, Shadrach 1 }, was born
in 1699; married, 1723, Sarah Whitney, born at Stow, 1703.
He settled upon the west half of his father's extensive farm
in the southwest part of Stow, and became a prominent
citizen. He was a captain in the French and Indian wars,
and in 1735 drew lot number one in the distribution of lands
in Narragansett Township, number six, now Templeton.
In 1726, 5 acres were laid out to him in the right of Thomas
Ward, and in 1728, 3 acres in the right of Richard Whitney,
and April 3, 1732, 13 acres adjoining his own land.
In 1726-27 he was chosen tythingman, and selectman
1741, 1742 and 1753. December 20, 1764, "Hezekiah Hap-
good, gentleman, being much advanced in years, sick and
weak," made his will, giving to his wife Sarah all his per-
sonal property; to Ephraim of Acton, his oldest son, I2S.,
and to his other son Jonathan, his homestead buildings, and
all his lands in Stow, requiring him to provide room for his
mother Sarah, and suitable provisions and attention in health
and sickness, furnish her a horse to ride whenever she
pleases, and pay all debts and funeral charges ; .and made
Jonathan sole executor. He died May 13, 1768; will proved
July 19, 1768.

7 I. Ephraim 4 , born April 21, 1725 ; married Rebecca Gibson.
II. Jonathan* (Col. and Esq.), born 1733, was a gentleman of
great respectability and commanding influence in
Stow. He resided about two miles southwest of the
centre of the town, on the west part of what had been
the Willard Farm. He held the commission of Lieu-
tenant, Captain and Colonel in the Militia, and was
appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts a magis-
trate. He served fourteen years as selectman, between
1768 and 1791, and as town clerk eleven years. In
1774 he was chosen a delegate to the County Conven-
tion at Concord, and afterwards, in the same year, a
delegate to the Provincial Congress, and in 1776, a
member of the convention for framing a Constitution
for the State. He was the proprietor of one or more
slaves who took their master's name, and carried it
with them into freedom, and may have transmitted it.
The tombstone at Stow records his death, March 20,
1801, but no settlement of his estate is recorded. The
late John Miles occupied his place. He married Ruth
Wolcott, to whom he was published January 10, 1775.
She was born 1736; died January 17, 1784. He mar-
ried second, October 5, 1785, Mrs. Sarah Whitney of
Stow. He is not recorded as having had any children.
He appears (Massachusetts Archives} among a list of
field officers of the Massachusetts Militia as First
Major of the First Middlesex County regiment, com-
missioned August 30, 1775, and he appears as First
Major in the Fourth Middlesex County regiment,
commissioned May 10, 1776; chosen by Legislature,
February 15, 1776, First Major, Colonel Henry Gard-
ner's regiment, and Lieutenant-Colonel, Fourth Mid-
dlesex regiment, February 25, 1779, concurred in
council, February 26, 1779.

LIEUTENANT SHABRACK" (Nathaniel? Skadrach 1 ), born

partly in the right of his grandfather Shadrach, situated in
the northwest part of Stow, known as "Stow Leg," and
119 acres, originally in Lancaster, afterwards (1732) Har-
vard, drawn partly in the right of Major Simon Willard. To
these the proprietors of Lancaster, February 19, 1763, added
9 acres 27 rods, drawn in the right of Major Willard, and 4
acres and 20 rods as an allowance for a road or byway
through said Hapgood's land, making this one lot contain
133 acres. April i, 1741, he was the proprietor of a lot of
65 acres on Bare Hill, which had been assigned to William
Kerley, at a third division of Lancaster lands. This being
then surveyed for him, was found to contain 95 acres 25
rods, and the proprietors, instead of dividing it, made it
good to him to that amount, by a grant of 30 acres 25 rods,
"upon other after divisions," and his brother Nathaniel, as
the proprietor of Kerley's right, executed him a deed in
May following. This lot was oblong, bounded easterly by
John Whitney, 74 rods ; northwesterly by a byway,* 267
rods; southwesterly by Captain Houghton, 52 rods, and
southeasterly, 240 rods, mostly by his own land.
These lots, and those previously assigned to his father,
were all in one vicinity, and mostly conterminous. Without
including either of the Gates meadows, they embrace 350
acres upon which Lieutenant Shadrach Hapgood began life ;
about the same quantity, which an equal division of the
original homestead, must have been secured to his brothers,
Hezekiah and Daniel.
He owned land in Lancaster in 1730, and then received
damages in the form of 2^ acres from Lancaster for a road
*The general course of this way, so often referred to, seems to have been south south-
west and north northeast. In 1743, a road 2 rods wide and 110 rods long was laid out by
Harvard through his land.

laid out through his farm. These 2j acres he sold for i/s.
to Abraham Rugg, June 24, 1740.
He sold, April 19, 1754, for 14. I2s., 5 acres of meadow
in Harvard to Samuel Fellows; and May 29, 1762, for 405.,
I acre 40 rods in Harvard to Benjamin Lawrence ; and April
30, 1759, for 7$. ios., 43 acres in Harvard to Eliphalet
Wood; and December 7, 1769, for 26, to John Daby, a
tract in Harvard, with buildings. January 5, 1764, he
bought of Joseph Kneeland, of Harvard, for ^86, a certain
messuage (probably the same sold to Daby in 1769), and a
tract of 20 acres, bounded by a line beginning on the south
side of a road by John Atherton's, then running northerly
across said road by Richard Harris' land to Elias Haskell's,
and next to Thomas Willard's land, then southwesterly by a
private way near Joseph Willard's land, until it crosses the
road above named, which it follows to said Harris' land,
then easterly by his land and southerly by it, and then
northerly by John Atherton's land to the place of beginning ;
and also 7 acres of meadow, south of said Harris' meadow,
and east of a brook immediately below where it flows out of
a pond.
At the incorporation of Harvard, June 29, 1732, out of
portions of Lancaster, Groton and Stow, he was thrown into
Harvard. In 1761 he was appointed guardian of Anna
Stone, aged seven years, and of Sarah Stone, aged above
fourteen years, daughters of Oliver Stone, late of Harvard.
He was constable, 1738, 1739, 1741, and in 1764, collector
of church money in the Old Mill quarter. In 1742 he
received a lieutenant's commission from the royal governor,
William Shirley (now in possession of the compiler), a copy
of which is here reproduced. He served six years as
THIRD GENERATION. 37
selectman, and had the first seat in the first of eight classes of
seats in the new meeting-house in Harvard, assigned 1774,
by a committee of the town.
He appears on the rolls as private in Captain Thomas
Gates' company, and marched on alarm of April 19, 1775 ;
belonged to Lancaster Troop, term of service, nine days.
He seems to have been a quiet, industrious and thrifty
farmer and highly respected citizen.
He made his will April 17, 1780, giving his wife Elizabeth
all his household furniture and indoor movables, one cow
and two sheep, for her use and disposal, requiring his
executor to furnish her a horse to ride at any time, while
she remained his widow. He also gave her the improvement
of one half of his estate for her dower, the use of one half of
the upright part of the house, i. <?., the west lower room
and chamber over it, one half of the chimney, including
the back-room fireplace, half of the cellar, one third of
the barn, and equal privilege at the well and in the gar-
den ; and these so long as she remained his widow. His
three eldest daughters, and doubtless the rest, with their
husbands, April 28, 1770, acknowledged the receipt of ;ioo
each, from their father as their full portion of his estate, and
signed a quit claim to the remainder. He therefore be-
queathed only ,1, to his daughter, Mary Clark, which, with
what she had already received, was to be her full portion.
To Elizabeth Willard i, which was to be her full portion.
To Lois Whitney i, and a pillion, which was to be her full
portion. To Lydia Munroe ,15. 6s. (silver money) and a
pillion. To his only son, Shadrach, Jr., he bequeathed his
apparel, tools, live-stock, and all his real estate, binding him
to support his parents and pay their funeral expenses, and
made him executor.
38 HAPGOOD FAMILY.
The following excerpt from Harvard History gives so clear
and concise a record of this branch of the family, we tran-
scribe it in full.
" In Stow Leg, A. D. 1732, the largest land-owner was Shad-
rach Hapgood. He was a grandson of that Shadrach Hap-
good, who, on May 30, 1656, at the age of fourteen years,
embarked for New England from Gravesend in the ship
Speedwell. The first Shadrach lived with his uncle, Peter
Noyes of Sudbury, during his minority ; married Elizabeth
Treadway, October 21, 1664, and was slain by the Indians in
the Surprise of Captains Hutchinson and Wheeler at Brook-
field, August 2, 1675. The eldest of the five children, fruit
of the marriage, was Nathaniel, born in 1665. He married
Elizabeth Ward of Marlboro', August 14, 1695. Became a
deacon and a wealthy land-holder in Stow, and was long
prominent in town councils. Nathaniel was the father of
the Harvard Shadrach, and transferred to him, in 1725, all
his lands upon Pin Hill Brook and Bare Hill, amounting
to 350 acres. Shadrach was born in Stow, November 6,
1704, and married Elizabeth Wetherbee. He was commis-
sioned Lieutenant by Governor William Shirley, in 1742,
but what military service he rendered is not known. He
had but one son, Shadrach, and five daughters, all of whom
had families. The Hapgood house is an excellent example
of the homes of the thriftier farmers of New England at the
period when Harvard was incorporated. In it Shadrach
and, Elizabeth (Wetherbee) Hapgood passed their married
life of more than half a century, and their son Shadrach
succeeded to its possession, living here with his wife, Eliza-
beth Keep, nearly fifty years. He was succeeded by his
youngest son, Joel, whose wife was Sally, daughter of Jona-
than Fairbank. The large addition to the old mansion at its
western end was built by Joel in 1812, and the capacious
farm barn by his son, Jonathan Fairbank Hapgood, in 1854.

Warren, youngest son of Joel, now living, a retired merchant
of Boston.
" The old house was probably new, and perhaps reputed
the finest in Harvard, when the town, in July, 1734, com-
plimented it and the builder, by instructing a committee to
engage board for the ministers, who should come to supply
the pulpit, at Shadrach Hapgood's, although over a mile
from the meeting-house. The original lattices, with their
bottle-green diamond lights, were preserved in the gable
windows for several years after the opening of the present
century."
He married, about 1732, Elizabeth Wetherbee, born 1714,
and died November 30, 1803, in the ninetieth year of her
age. He died October 8, 1782. Will proved December, 1782.

DEACON DANIEL 3 (Nathaniel*, Shadrach l },\)orn. about 1706,
inherited the homestead of his father, Deacon Nathaniel, and
grandfather Shadrach, two and one-half miles south southeast
of Stow townhouse, and the east half of the original planta-
tion of 700 acres. Succeeded his father in the deaconship,
and about 1760, built the great house yet standing and occu-
pied by his grandson, Nathaniel 5 Hapgood. June 20, 1750,
he sold to Zaccheus Gates of Stow, 120 acres in Holden,
inherited from his father. August 13, 1785, " being very aged,
infirm and weak," he made his will, having previously settled
his real estate in Stow upon his sons, giving to his wife
Mary, two cows ; and to sons Daniel and Samuel, and daugh-
ter Hepsebeth Wheeler, all his indoor movables in equal
shares ; to his adopted grandson, Jacob Gibson of Stow, his

ENSIGN EPHRAIM* (Hezekia& % Nathaniel, Shadrack 1 ), born
April 21, 1725, is presumed to have first settled on a part of
his father's spacious farm in Stow, where his intention of
marriage with Rebecca Gibson was published January 17,
1746-7. After 1753, he removed to Acton and settled
where his grandson, Benjamin F. Hapgood, now resides. In
the summers of 1779 anc ^ 1780 he went with his sons, Eph-
raim and Nathaniel, to open up farms in Norridgewock,
Maine, for some of his family. Jt is not, however, probable
that any permanent settlement was effected there, as the
records of the town are silent upon the subject. At the
close of the second season, he, with Nathaniel, in returning
by water, perished from shipwreck, while Ephraim returned
safe by land. He died intestate, October 31, 1780, leaving
an estate inventoried at ^1,597. His widow died Septem-

Jabez Keep was the son of Ensign Samuel Keep, of Spring-
field, Massachusetts, who was the presumed progenitor of all
the Keeps in this country. A brother of Elizabeth, Jonathan,
married Hannah Hildreth. Experience Lawrence Keep, who

another sister, married Leonard Proctor. Mary Washington
Wright, daughter of Experience (Keep) Wright, was born
June 30, 1827, at Westford ; married George Lowe; removed

small of stature, but cheerful, well disposed,
and large hearted. His grandfather Hapgood
died, 1818, but David remained with his grand-
mother, in charge of the farm up to April 10,
1825, when he married Elmira Hosmer, born
February 16, 1805, at Acton. He bought a
farm in the northeasterly part of Harvard, ad-
joining the old Hapgood estate, better known
to-day as the Hall place. Here their four chil-
dren were born, and by industry and economy
were fairly prosperous. The farm being larger
than he cared for, he sold out and bought a small
