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.

JAMES WALLIS, by occupation a weaver and a farmer, was one of the colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants who gathered at Worcester, Mass., 1718, and a few years following. His homestead of forty acres was in the adjoining town of Leicester, and in an ancient deed "it bounds on Worcester." In 1758, while in the possession of a son, the little farm was annexed to Worcester. James Wallis had a brother, Oliver, a wheelwright, who probably died about 1735, and an unmarried sister, Sarah. He d. in Leicester in 1746, or early in 1747. The widow, Mary, declined administration on the estate, and alleged that he had then no relatives in this country. She requested the appointment of Hugh Thompson. She subsequently had a home with her son James, and d. in Colrain, Mass., in Feb. 1769, aged 70 years. Ch. i. AGNES, b. 1730. 2. ii. JAMES, b. 1733. 3. iii. JOHN, b. 1736. 2. JAMES WALLIS, son of James(1), b. in Worcester or Leicester in 1733. In 1750, Nathan Moore was appointed guardian of James Wallis, aged 17, son of James Wallis, late of Leicester, deceased. In 1756, Agnes Wallis, of Rutland, single woman, conveys to "James Wallis, eldest son of our father," her interest in the homestead " of the late James Wallis of Leicester, he agreeing to support our mother Mary Wallis, now of Rutland." He m. April 8, 1756, Mary McClellan, b. 1734, dau. of Michael and Jane (Henry) McClellan, of Pelham. At this date he removed to the paternal homestead, which on his petition, dated 1757, was annexed to Worcester, 1758. In 1760 he removed to Colrain, Mass. He was a deacon, a prominent man in town affairs, and a soldier in the Revolution, serving several enlistments. In a descriptive roll dated 1780, he is described: "Age, 46 years; stature, 5 ft. 5 m.; complexion, light." A record of his death is not accessible. His wife d. in Colrain, June 12, 1800, aged 66. So far as known his children were: i. JAMES, b. in Worcester, July 3, 1757, soldier, d. in Colrain, Aug. 26, 1777. ii. HENRY, b. in Worcester, Sept. 23, 1769. iii. SETH, b. in Colrain, Dec. 4, 1761, m. May 20, 1787, Ann Huriburt. Lived in Colrain. iv. MICHAEL. He is named for a few years in the early records of Franconia. He was there a tithingman, 1797. v. JOHN. vi. HUGH, b. June 15, 1767, grad. Dart. Coll., 1791, m. in Hancock, Aug. 8, 1797, Mary Duncan, dau. of George and Mary (Bell) Duncan of Londonderry and Peterborough. He was an eminent minister, having charges at Bath, Me., and in the State of New York. He d. at Gates, N.Y., Sept. 7, 1848. 3. JOHN WALLIS, son of James(1), was b. in Leicester, 1736. The homestead was annexed to Worcester, 1758. He m. in Pelham, Mass., Oct. 31, 1761, Agnes Lindsey, and settled in Colrain, Mass., where there was gathered a colony of Scotch-Irish. He was a farmer and a good citizen. The Massachusetts Revolutionary War Rolls credit several enlistments and years of service to John Wallis, of Colrain. A considerable part of this service was performed b John, his eldest son. A muster roll of Capt. McClellan's company of Col. Wells' regiment of nine months' recruits, in 1777, designates John, the father, as follows: "John Wallis, Colrain, stature, 5 ft. 6 m.; hair, gray; age, 41." There is a tradition cherished by his descendants that at the age of sixty years he came to New Hampshire with four of his children, and subsequently died in Franconia. The records of Franconia neither deny nor confirm the tradition. The records of Colrain are defective. It is possible there were other children, and if so, it remains to be proven. Four children came to New Hampshire, and are named in order. Later generations have written the name Wallace. Ch. b. in Colrain, Mass. 4. i. JOHN, b. Sept. 2, 1762. 5. ii. WILLIAM, b. 1767. 6. iii.
