As a young man he engaged in teaching, and was employed in that avocation when the Civil War began. He enlisted 18 April, 1861, in a company subsequently assigned to the 26th Ohio Regt., for three years' service, and was made first sergeant of his company. Next year he was promoted to second lieutenant. At the Battle of Stone River he received a bullet wound in the leg, and was laid up until the following spring. Rejoining his regiment he was made first lieutenant, and in the fighting about Chattanooga the Page 150 command of Company B devolved upon him. In the Battle of Lookout Mountain he had an ankle badly bruised by another bullet. In the autumn of 1864 he re-enlisted as a veteran, being made a member of the 26th Ohio Vet. Vol. Inf. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain a bullet cut a gash in the side of his neck, and at the Battle of Franklin, Tenn., he was wounded in the groin, ending all further activity as a soldier and making him an invalid for life. Nine days following he was commissioned a captain by the governor of Ohio, but was never mustered. While lying in the hospital both his limbs were drawn up, and became stiffened in that position, where they remained until his death. He was discharged on account of disability 15 May, 1865. When he was finally recovered sufficiently to be moved to the North, he was taken by easy stages to C. His wound did not heal until three years after his arrival. During the journey he was attended by George P. Morrill, of C., to whom he gave the credit of saving his life. In spite of his afflictions Mr. Foster continued to teach classics and write for the press.

He was severely wounded in the second Battle of Bull Run. His army experience was primarily the cause of his death. After the war he returned to college. In referring to his death, the Barre, Mass., paper says: "Dr. Foster was skillful and successful in his profession. During the Rebellion he was an assistant surgeon in the army. His death brought sorrow to many homes, where he was loved, both as a physician and a friend." He d. in Barre, Mass., 24 Sept., 1881, and was buried in Shrewsbury, Mass.

When the Civil war broke out Mr. Foster had a strong desire to enlist, and took measures to do so, but as his only brother had already gone to the front, his parents prevailed upon him to remain at home, which he did with great reluctance. Later, however, he served for a short time as a nurse in an army hospital, leaving the service only a few days before it was captured by the rebels. He was very successful in his farming pursuits, and produced some excellent specimens of blooded horses, being awarded first premium at the N.E. and N.H. State Fairs. The C. town fairs, of which he was an official, also received his hearty support and codperation. He served his town as selectman, although he never aspired to political honors.

The Gibson(History of Sanbornton) family is said to be of English origin. Two brothers, James and John, when coming to this country, are said to have lost their father on the passage. A legend exists that one of these brothers m. the dau. of a nobleman, against the will of her parents, and that he was the father of Jeremiah Gibson, an early settler of C. The name appears as "Gipson" on a petition in 1768, which was signed by the oldest of the five brothers, who early gained possession of Lot No. 58, Second Division, Sanbornton, on which Union Bridge village now stands, and gave their original name, Gibson, to the falls below the bridge. Only the two oldest and youngest of these brothers can be traced to any extent. It is certain that their father did not settle in Sanbornton, though supposed at first to have been the "John" of 1768. Perhaps he was the "Jeremiah" of C. The five brothers were John, James, Jeremiah, Enoch, Thomas. Jeremiah, who lived near the south end of the lot where now Capt. Jacob Sanborn (Lakeman place in Sanbornton) lives, m. Eleanor Forrest and removed with four children quite early to Canada. Children b. but not m. in Sanbornton, were Robert, John, Judith, Comfort. Enoch was in Sanbornton with his brothers; unm., and also went to Canada. Thomas, the youngest, and the last who came to this region, located directly across the river on the Gilmanton side, at Union Bridge, having previously settled in C., and m. Jemima, dau. of Capt. James Shepard. Children: Abigail and Martha, both d. young; Enoch, Polly, Nancy, Elsey, Naaman, Jemima, Naomi, Royal. 1. JAMES(1) GIBBON settled in C., 1748. 2. JAMES(2) GIBBON (James(1)) joined with Jeremiah Gibson, John Willey, husband of Eleanor Gibson, and James Gibson, Jr., in settling among themselves the estate of their "honored father and grandfather, James Gibson of C., deceased." Date of this paper is 17 Feb., 1798. Memorandum on back of another deed states that James Gibson d. 26 Feb., 1796. This may be the James Gibson who is found as a settler in C., in 1748.

A William Glines, Jr., was elected tithingman of C. in 1750 and constable in 1752. In 1731 William Glines, Sr., and William Glines, Jr. sold land in Dover, 20 Sept., 1725, William and Elizabeth Glines conveyed land in Dover, "lying between Oyster River and Lampreel River." If William Glines, Jr., the proprietor, settled in C., the genealogy is apparently as follows: 1. WILLIAM GLINES who M. Elizabeth ----. 2. WILLIAM GLINES, JR., who m. Hannah ----. From the latter descended William Clines, 3d, and William Glines, 4th, who are found on the tax lists of C. and Northfield. As John Glines has a son William who resided in C., it is sometimes difficult to differentiate the various William Glines of C., owing to the fact that there is meager record of the early births, marriages and deaths of this family. A John Glines of Dover was one of the proprietors of C. He m. Mary Bassford, 27 Nov., 1728. In 1731 he sold "one certain tract or parcel of land given me by the governor and council in the town of C. John Glines of Durham bought, in 1733, home lot No. 29 and lot 51 "in the second division of rights." The home lot, except the intervale, he sold as a resident of C. in 1739 to James Lindsey. The same date he bought of James Lindsey home lot No. 63, and here he made his home until his death. In 1753 he bought a hundred acre lot in Contoocook. Page 163 John Glines d. in 1757. His will was dated 16 March, 1757, and admitted to probate 3 Aug., 1757. It was witnessed by John Gibson, Richard Blanchard and James Scales, and is as follows: "In the name of God amen This 16 day of March 1757 I John Glines of Canterbury in the province of N.H. in N.E. husbandman, having inlisted myself in his Majesty's service to go against his Majesty's enemies & not knowing whether I shall return to my family again, considering also the mortality of my body that it is appointed unto all men once to dye, being now in perfect mind and memory, Thanks be given to God for it, I do make and ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, Principally and first of all I recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it & my body I recommend to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my executors (if the circumstances of my death will admit it) nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life I give demise and dispose of the same in the following manner & form. I give and bequeath to my dearly beloved wife, Mary, (if she outlives me) the use and improvement of all my home place so long as she shall be and remain my widow, and also the use of all my creatures & tools for farming as well as all the household stuff which household stuff she shall have the use of during her natural life. Item. To my beloved daughter Ann I give & bequeath what she has already had of creatures & the keeping of them for several years past which is also the portion I give her out of my estate except as hereafter specified. Item To my beloved son Israel I give and bequeath my hundred acre lot which he already has a deed of which is all that I can give him out of my estate except as hereafter specified. Item To my beloved son John I give & bequeath (besides a pair of steers which he has already had) all that I own in the intervale which lies between Canterbury township and Merrimack river and also all that I own in the Pine Plain which lies between the said intervale & the line of Canterbury township and also one half of an hundred acre lot in Contoocook which I bought of Thomas Eastman. Item To my beloved sons William & Richard I give and bequeath all of my home place when their mother is done with it to be equally divided between them except that they are to pay out of it £200 old tenor to their youngest sisters, Mary & Elizabeth when they shall come to the age of 21 years. Item To my beloved son James I give & bequeath one half of my hundred acre lot at Contoocook above mentioned. Item I give & bequeath to my beloved son Nathaniel all the present undivided land belonging to the original right of Samuel Smith Jr. except that he is to pay out of it £40 old tenor to his two younger sisters Mary & Elizabeth when they shall come to the age of 21 years as aforesaid. Item To my beloved daughters Mary & Elizabeth I give & bequeath to each of them £120 in bills of credit of the old tenor to be paid to them by their brothers William, Richard & Nathaniel when they the said daughters come to the age of 21 years, That is by William & Richard to each of them 100 & by Nathaniel to each of them 20. Moreover my original right (what is still my own of it) I give and bequeath to be equally divided among all my children. And also what stock of creatures I leave at my decease to be divided in like manner—My tools for farming I bequeath to be equally divided among my sons & household stuff to be equally divided among my daughters when their mother has done with them all. Page164 Lastly I do constitute and ordain my beloved sons William & Richard to be jointly the executors of this my last will & testament ratifying and confirming this & no other to be my last will & testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the day & year above written. his John X Glines, mark. There is little information aside from this will to be obtained of the immediate descendants of John Glines. Such evidence as there is will be found in the inventories and tax lists of C. and in the records of conveyances of property. It is probable that all of his children are named by the testator in his will and that they are mentioned in the order of their ages, beginning with the eldest. The date of birth of only one is known, Nathaniel, who according to the records of the town was b. in Dec., 1744. Such information as is available from the sources named is here given. 1.

Glover is an ancient name in England, and from what has been gathered of its origin is indisputably Saxon. In some of the oldest counties, as Warwickshire and Kent, it was, at a very ancient date, written Golofre, then Glove, and in the middle of the fourteenth century it was written as it now is, Glover. Families of Glover of the Christian names of William and John were recorded in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and Warwickshire about the middle of the fourteenth century. A William Glover had a coat of arms granted him in 1602. It is said to be the same which Fuller finds recorded in the "Worthies of Middlesex," granted to William Glover, sheriff, at an earlier date. The Arms granted to William Glover of London, "Arg. a Chev. Erminie betwixt three cross, Crosslets" were bestowed by Queen Elizabeth one year before his death. He was buried in London, Colman Street ward. A fair monument in Chancel is erected to his memory. The names of John, William, Robert, Thomas, Richard and Henry are among the earliest Christian names of Glover that have been noticed by writers. These names have been perpetuated and have descended, like their estates, through many generations, both in Old and New England. Many of them settled in Dorchester and some are buried there, where the inscriptions on the old headstones are still to be seen. Many of them were soldiers, some of them were stationed at Castle William, Boston harbor, from 1741 to 1753. Several of them served in the French and Indian war, and many of them in the Revolutionary war. Three of them in the War of 1812 and a large number of them served in the Civil war. Many of the Glovers were college graduates and became physicians, lawyers, clergymen and merchants. 1. JOHN(1) GLOVER was b. in Eng. When his older brothers came to America, he stayed with his father and carried on the business. They were architects. 2. JOHN(2) GLOVER, the eldest son of John(1), came to America about 150 years ago, and was residing in C. when the first census was taken in 1790. He then had three sons. 3. JOHN(3) GLOVER m.
