COAT OF ARMS.
FROM THE HERALD'S COLLEGE, LONDON.
The family of Kimball is from the county of Cumberland,
England, and takes its origin from a parish of that name upon
the Scottish border.
THE AI«vIS ARE,—
argent (silver), a lion rampant; gules (red), upon a chief
(sable), three crescents of gold. The crest is a lion rampant,
holding in the dexter paw a dagger, an fi-oprc (natural color).
Motto,—"FoRTis xoN Fekox."The lion rampant in the arms shows that an ancestor had
won a battle while in command at an engagement. The chief

INTRODUCTION.
Two hundred and fifty years ago Henry and Rich-
ard Kimball, the first emigrants of the name, with
their wives and children, fled from the persecutions
of the Old World, and landed on New England soil.
It would be desirable to have a genealogy of their
descendants compiled ; but no one has as yet volun-
teered to undertake so laborious a work.
In the fifth generation was Joseph, who was born
in Exeter, N. H., and died in Canterbury. He was
the great-grandfather of the compiler. I have at-
tempted to prepare and publish a genealogy of his
ancestors, and to give a record of all his descendants
who bear the name of Kimball. Where daughters
have married, I have given the names of their hus-
bands and children, and in some cases their grand-
children.
Three sons and one daughter of Joseph settled in
the state of Maine, and three sons and two daugh-
ters remained in New Hampshire.

INTRODUCTION.
At first I found much difficulty in tracing the de-
scendants of those who settled in Maine, but by con-
tinued effort I have succeeded in obtaining a satis-
factory record of most of them. I have written many
letters of inquiry ; and all to whom I have applied
have expressed much joy to learn of their ancestors
and cousins in New Hampshire.
The compilation has occupied many of my leisure
hours for several years, and it has been to me an
agreeable pastime. I express the hope that my
efforts will be appreciated by the members of the
families whose names are here recorded, and by
all others who are interested.
I am indebted to Matthew Adams Stickney, Esq.,
of Salem, Mass., for valuable information concerning
the first four generations. To him, and to all the
friends and relatives who have assisted me, I return
my thanks.
Previous to 1752 the legal year began on the 25th
of March, and the historical year began on the ist of
January. In old records these two methods were
frequently combined. Thus: March 10, 1728-9,
means that the year was 1728 of the legal year, and
1729 of the historical year, the latter being the
method now in use.
The usual abbreviations for the states are used,
which usually appear but once after each family
name, where the place of residence is first given.

HISTORICAL MEMORANDA.
In Mr. S. G. Drake's excellent book, entitled
" Result of Researches Relative to the Founders of
New England," page 51, I find as follows:
" Ipswich. A note of the names and ages of allthe Passengers which tooke shipping in the Elisa-
beth of Ipswich M' WilP Andrews bound for New
EngLand the last of April 1634."
There are 55 names on the list, and among them
are,
—
" Thomas Skott 40, Elisabeth [Skott] his ivifc 40,
Henery Kemball 44, Susan [Kemball] Jiis zvife 35,
Richard Kemball 39, Vrsula [Kemball] Jiis wi/c and
Martha Scott 60."
The above-named Richard was the ancestor of
Joseph Kimball, of Canterbury. His v/ife was Ursula,
sister of Thomas Scott, children of Martha, who came
with them.

"The etymology of the name Kimball is uncertain.It is supposed by some to be of Scotch derivation, a
corruption of the name ' Campbell.' It is variously
spelled ' Kimball; ' Kemball,' and ' Kemble.' "^•
Richard, the emigrant, spelled his name " Kem-ball."

THE
JOSEPH KIMBALL FAMILY.
FIRST GENERATION.
RICHARD KIMBALL.
I. Richard was probably the ancestor of most
of the numerous families of the name of Kimball in
New Engrland.
On the tenth of April, 1634,^^ O. S., at the age of
39, he embarked at Ipswich, in the county of Suf-
folk, Old England, in the ship Elisabeth, William
Andrews, master, for Massachusetts, and landed at
Ipswich in New England. He hrst settled in Water-
town, of which he was a proprietor, in 1636-7; was
admitted a freeman 6 May, 1635.
[On the map in the history of Watertown, by
Henr)^ Bond, M. D., the homestead of " R. Kemball"
of six acres where he first settled, is bounded N. by
Cambridge, E. by land of W. Hamlet, S. by the high-
way, and W. by land of Edward White.]
* History of Wntorlown, Mass., by Iltnry Bond, M. D., but the "Historical Memo-
randa'' gives the time "last of April."

14 THE JOSEPH KIMBALL FAMILY.
There came with hun his wife, Ursula (Scott)
Kimball, and seven children ; also, at the same time,
in the same ship, the mother of his wife, Martha
Scott, who was born in 1574 ; his brother Henry,
aged 44, and his family., consisting of his wife Su-
sanna, aged 35, and children, Elisabeth, aged 4, and
Susanna, aged i^ years. Besides the foregoing,
Thomas Scott, brother-in-law to Richard, aged 40,his wife Elisabeth, aged 40, and children, Elisabeth,
aged 9, Abigail, aged 7, and Thomas, aged 6, were
passengers on the same ship. They settled in Ips-
wich.
Richard soon after removed from Watertown to
Ipswich, and is first known as an inhabitant of that
place 23 Feb., i637-'8, when he was granted by the
town "a house lott next adjoining to goodman
Simons at the west end of y*" town ; " also granted
him the same day "40 acres Beyond the North
River near the land of Robert Scott." In i639-'40,
he had " liberty to pasture two cows free." He ismentioned "the last day of last month i64i,"as
among the commoners of Ipswich, and appointed, i
March, 1645-6, as one of the "Seven men." 19
Dec, 1648, he subscribed with others ^s. as his an-
nual proportion towards the sum of 24^ 7^. as a rate
for the services of their military leader, Major Daniel
Dennison, then commander of the military forces of
Essex and Norfolk counties.

His occupation was that of a wheel-wright. Jan-
uar)% 1649-50, he was granted hberty "to fell such
white oaks as he hath occasion to make use of about
his trade for the towns use." Also, 1660, "to fell
20 white oak trees to make weels for the Townsman
their use." September, 1652, he and Robert Lord
were appraisers of the estate of John Cross. In 1653
he was of a committee of three to survey fences in
the common fields north of the river.
He was joint executor of the will of his brother-in-
law, Thomas Scott, Sen., who died February, i653-'4,
in which instrument he is mentioned as brother
Richard Kimball, whom he appoints, with Edmund
Bridges, executor. Shortly after, 25 May, 1654,
their official trust and obligation were recognized by
Thomas Scott, Jr., then a resident of Stamford, Conn.
He married Ursula, the sister of Thomas anddaughter of Martha Scott, before his arrival in Ips-
wich. Married, 2d, Margaret, widow of Henr\^ Dow,
of Hampton, 23 Oct., 1661. Margaret died i March,
i675-'6. Richard died 22 June, 1675, leaving a will

ball were,

Stickncy omits Ursul.i, and names Plcnry as the oldest child, but says there was a
daughter.

their property in Exeter for the farm in Canter-
bury, to which they removed in 1788. He had
the misfortune to lose his eyesight before he left

daughter of Joseph Kimball, of Exeter, afterwards

Joseph, their oldest son, was named for his grand-
father Kimball. He married Hannah, daughter of
Jonathan Foster, of Canterbury, 22 Nov., 18 15, and
continued on the farm at Canterbury until 1835,
when he came to Concord and assisted his brother
Charles in carrying on the farm then and now the
property of Joseph B. Walker. For a time he lived
in the house now the homestead of Mrs. Samuel
Coffin. In 1842 he purchased a farm in North Con-
cord, where he resided twenty years. It was here
his mother, Sarah, and his only son, Nathaniel, died.
In 1863 he with his wife moved to Penacook, where
they spent the close of a long and honored life
with their children and grandchildren. In 1S28 he
