     Willaim Twombly of Madbury, married first, Mary Ricker, daughter of George Ricker who was killed by Indians: married second, 1737-1744, his neighbor, Abigail (Evans) Hays, widow of Ichabod Hayes, who accidentally crushed by a mill log. Abigail was daughter of Thomas and Hannah(Brown) Evans of Salisbury, Massachusetts, and granddaughter of Mr. John Evans of Dover, also killed in the Indian massacre, June 28, 1689. (See Ricker; Noyes-Davis, Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, pt1/2,p.225,pt3/5,pp.586,701; Wentworth,
Wentworth Family, note,pp.485/486; Streans, Genealogical and Family History of New Hampshire, Vol.1,p.482.)
    William Twombly was a carpenter by trade, and he built and owned a lumber mill on the Isinblass River in Barrington. Here, with his son, John Twombly and stepsons, Ichabod and Daniel Hayes, they built and owned merchant vessels and trading sloops. There is an entry on December 1, 1764, of the cost of building a sloop for Ichabod Hayes, 393.17 franks. In 1746, the sloop Union was built at a cost of 3000 franks.  The plank for this was sawed at their mill.  The old record gives a glimpse of the danger from Indians encountered by these pioneers in penetrating the wilderness, for repeatedly the entry occurs:  To two men a day for guard to Barrington for plank 16sh.
    The sloop was launched on the banks of the Piscataqua River. Her first trip to Boston netted 500 franks. William Twombly was known as  Father Twombly He and Ichabod Hayes purchased land in Dover, Rochester and Wakefield, New Hampshire, which their descendants inherited. The will of the former was proved October 29, 1763. ( Will: New England Register, Vol 8, p. 263.)
