My orders to sail reached me at Luneville, where my brother Nemours had taken refuge, with a cavalry command, from the desperate endeavours of the grand-parents to get him married, and whither I had followed him with the same object.
Richard Estey lived at Rowley but he was born at Topsfield, Mass., the home of his parents and grand-parents. His wife was Ruth Fisk of Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was a member of the Congregational church in Rowley until he was dismissed to the church at St. John river in May, 1764. Among his children who were born at Rowley and came to Maugerville were the following:
Whatever their feeling toward the doctor, her grand-parents had never betrayed them to her or sought to undermine or rather undeceive her loyal devotion; but never had it occurred to them as a possibility that he would assert his paternal claim and bear away with him the idol of their hearts, the image of the cherished daughter he had won from them so many years before.
And yet an awful lot of people had to live so that Washington could be born when he was.... "His parents: that was two. And his grand-parents: he must have had four. And his great grand-parents: eight of them.... "Why, it's like the problem of the horse-shoe nails," she continued in growing excitement.

As soon as they had reached the upper road they met the church-faring people, driving and walking, the confirmation candidates scattered among them, and in one group and another white-haired grand-parents, who had felt moved to come out on this great occasion. It was an autumn day without sunshine, as when the weather is about to change.
It has sometimes seemed as if creditors and debtors included the entire population. Debt, not by law but by custom, is hereditary, and a man is expected to pay the debts of his grand-parents. Marriage expenses are so heavy, that very often a debt settles down on a man on his marriage day under which he lies till the day of his death.
Daniel Wheelwright is known to have had a father and mother, so likewise he must have had grand-parents. And these were, doubtless, sensible and judicious people, more desirous of being industrious and useful, than what the world calls great.
Our grand-parents lived in the age of muscle; we exist in the nerve period, and have new demands, both in our mental and physical structure. And new light will come in answer to the demand.
