 HON. CHARLES HENRY BARTLETT.

��281

��cember 14, 1763, was ordained over the church at Hampton Falls, remain- ing as its minister till March 18, 1781, when he was dismissed ; removed to Stratham and engaged in farming. In the latter part of 1787 and the former part of 1788 he served for a brief period in the Continental Congress, and was one of the first United States senators from New Hampshire, serv- ing four years from March 4, 1789. He was elected representative to the third congress, serving two years. From 1798 to 1809 he was one of the judges of the superior court, retiring when he reached his 70th birth-day. He passed his last years in Stratham, dying there, March 7, 1838, having nearly completed his 99th year. His life, covering as it did the field of the-

��ology, politics and law, extending through nearly a century, was a re- markable one.

These eighteen names deserve to be placed on New Hampshire's roll of honor. They belong to men whose lives, services and character had an incalculable influence in making New Hampshire what it has been and is, in giving it its honorable place in American history. The brief and im- perfect sketches which are here given, open up a field full of suggestion in social, educational and historical lines, which is of course beyond the prov- ince of a single article, but the names of these patriots are worthy to be held in remembrance by every son of New Hampshire.
