FOREWORD
THE genealogy of Littleton was compiled by GEORGE C. FURBER in 1896 and printed in 1897-8.
A fire destroyed the work in 1898 and made necessary a reprint,
which was prepared under the supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS.
The extent of the errata is chiefly due to incorrect material furnished by individuals concerning their ancestry.

SELLINGHAM.
The Sellingham families of this town are representatives of a group of emigrants that made a commendable record, and have an interesting history They were Protestants, from near the Rhine, in Germany. They did not emigrate to New England at one time, but immediately after 1750 several families were living in and near Boston, Mass. Their imperfect knowledge of the English language and other reasons, at once apparent, encouraged them to settle in one community. The town of Lexington, Mass., possessed one thousand acres of land in the town of Ashburnham, Mass. By a deed, bearing date of December, 1757, they purchased the Lexington Grant and divided it into farms among themselves. This section of the town is known to the present time as "The Dutch Farms." The original grantees were Henry Hall, Christian William Whiteman, Jacob Schoffe, Simon Rodamel, Peter Perry, John Rich, and John Kiblinger. Immediately they were joined by other emigrants from the same locality in Germany, who settled near them in the same township. The added names are Jacob and Henry Sellingham, Andrew Windrow, Henry Stack, Jacob Constantine, Jacob Barkardst, John Oberlock, Philip Vorback, and Jacob Wilker. They were educated, intelligent people, thrifty in business, zealous in the support of schools, and good substantial citizens. They had fled from tyranny in their native land, and were prompt in a rational resistance of oppression in any form. In all the elements of patriotism they were trained and ripened for the Revolution, and during the war they contributed their full proportion in service, sacrifice, and treasure. From the first, they were received in good fellowship, and they bore their share of the burdens of municipal affairs. From this thrifty community John Rich, in 1775, removed to Haverhill and ten years later to Maidstone, Vt. He was a selectman of Ashburnham, Mass., a trusted agent of the State Government of New Hampshire, and a soldier at Haverhill during the Revolution, and subsequently many years a Representative in the Legislature of Vermont. He m. 1753, Catherine Sophia Whiteman, whom he had known in the fatherland. His sons, John, Henry, Jacob, and Moody, were prominent men in town and county affairs. Rich Stevens, a sheriff of Essex County, was a son of his daughter Elizabeth. He d. Sept. 30, 1813, aged 84; his widow, Catherine, d. April 14, 1818, aged 82. Jacob Schoffe removed from Ashburnham, Mass., to Haverhill about 1774 and soon after to Essex County, Vt. His son Jacob, b. 1757, was a soldier in the Revolution, frontier service, and d. in Maidstone, Vt., aged over 80 years. His other sons were John, Daniel, and Henry, and their descendants have lived in Grafton and Coos Counties. The family of Rodamel generally assumed the name of Dimond. Jacob Dimond, son of the emigrant, b. June 3, 1760. After the Revolution, in which he was a soldier, he settled in Claremont, where he d., March 16, 1826. Mary Dimond, b. Nov. 5, 1752, a daughter of the emigrant, m. Jan. 3, 1783, Henry Stevens, of Claremont. Christian William Whiteman removed with a part of his children in 1796 to Warren, where William Whiteman had previously located. Henry Sellingham, son of Jacob, the emigrant, b. about 1735, with his sons, Henry, Jr., and Jacob, settled in Thornton about 1775. Henry, Jr., and Jacob were soldiers in the Revolution. Later, Henry and Henry, Jr., removed to Stewartstown. Jacob continued to reside in Thornton many years. He was a pensioner, and in 1840 he was living in Woodstock. Among his nine children were Catherine, who m. James K. Hatch (See), and Daniel, who m. Matilda Clement. Daniel was a soldier in the War of 1812, and d. in Woodstock about 1855.
