REV. EBENEZER MACK was given 100 acres of land by the Gustins, on condition that he would settle in Marlow. His gift was the farm now occupied by Charles H. Washburn, on road 16. He settled here about 1768. He was a Baptist minister, and preached to the people in the vicnity several years previous to the time the Baptist church was organized. Among his children who removed to Marlow were, Lydia, wife of John Gustin, and Silas. The latter SILAS MACK succeeded his father in the ownership of the farm. Their old log house was succeeded in 1779, by the new house, the second frame one in town. Here Silas reared his family of ten children, Silas Jr., Jonathan, John, Daniel (who died young), William, Asa, Amasa, Franklin, Polly and Daniel. SILAS MACK SR.was a prominent official and justice of the peace. He was the first representative sent from town after it ceased to be classed with others. He was a soldier under Stark at Bennington. He was greatly interested in the first church, the building being erected on his farm. Of his sons, Silas Mack, Asa Mack, and Franklin Mack removed to Stanstead, P.Q. where they lived and died. Jonathan Mack settled in Charlestown. John Mack went west, but finally returned. Polly Mack married Jasper Ball, and removed to Iowa. William Mack settled in Alstead, but soon returned to Marlow, and built the house now standing on the old farm. He was honored by his townsmen by election to various offices. Later years found him engaged in railroad surveys in Vermont and New York. Amasa Mack succeded his father in the ownership of the homestead. He filled the offices of selectman and representative several terms always proving himself an honored citizen. His son, Albert B. Mack recieved the old farm, retaining possession until his death, when, after having been in the family for a hundred years, it passed to others. Daniel Mack, the youngest son of Silas, after a few years of voluntary exile to Massachusetts, has returned to town. He is in his eighty-fourth year, but is still hale and hearty. He is the only representative of the family living in town. His only child, Orville T. Mack, now of Massachusetts, was formerly in the stove and tinware business in town and was postmaster three years.
