- In the Kimball NEWS. Sept., 1899, page 39, Mr. Chas. F. HaseltineofPhiladelphia, quotes from the history of Pembroke, New Hampshire. The history in that particular is entirely wrong. Deacon Richard Eastman was married in Andover, Mass., by the Rev. Mr. Philips, Nov. 15, 1737, to Molly Lovejoy, born Dec. 17, 1718, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Farnum Lovejoy. He removed to Pembroke, N. H., and settled on a tract of land which his father willed him. He had fourteen of his seventeen children born there, and among them was Richard, born Apr. 20, 1747, and who married 1st, Abiah Holt, and she died in North Conway, N.H., Mar. 1, 1790. He married 2d, Aug. 27, 1791, widow Susannah Durgin, nee Runnels. Deacon Richard married 2nd, June 14, 1764, widow Sarah Abbott, widow of Job and daughter of James Abbott, of West Parish, Concord, N. H., born Aug. 13, 1730, Jonathan, the son of Richard2 was the first male child born in Conway. The history of Pembroke has the children of both of these Richards all mixed up. Another point; it isaltogether unlikely that Job Abbott, the first husband of Sarah Abbott was one of the founders of the church of Conway, because he died before Conway was settled.
