Sarah Henry of Shirley, and became an inhabitant of the town as early as 1778. His house was in the South Village, upon the hill at the corner of the streets just south of the engine house. His principal business was school-teaching, and he was so long engaged in this employment that an entire generation could refer back to him as their guide in obtaining a knowledge of letters. The active generation of fifty years since were among his pupils in childhood, and they retained many pleasant and some painful reminiscences of their venerated instructor, Master McLeod. They could say of him, as Goldsmith says of one (a predecessor of the craft) in his "Deserted Village:" "He was kind, and if severe in aught, The love he bore to learning was the fault." He had, in early life, traveled in Europe, a privilege that few of American lineage experienced at that time. Upon the birth-records of Shirley are entered the names of four children: Thomas, William, Bruce, Mary Gillispie.
