• Notes

  He was the second son of Deacon Daniel and Lucy (Dutton) Kimball. He married, in 1807, Rachel Hartwell, of Littleton and had ten children. He was, while quite a young man, prominent in town and other public interests. He was one of the pioneers of the anti-slavery and temperance movements. From 1838 to 1851 he was town clerk. He was an interested and active member of the Lyceum from its beginning: a society which for more than half a century has had an important educational influence in the town. He was for many years chosen as one of the Board of Selectmen, and for a considerable period represented the town in the State Legislature. He was deacon of the Orthodox Congregational Church from its organization (which occurred in his own house), in 1840, to his death. He had previously held the office of deacon in the Unitarian Church. His second wife was Mrs. Mary B. Harris. He died in 1869, aged eighty six years. His life fully warranted the estimate of his character shown by his father in the advice given his children upon his death-bed: "My children, take James for an example."
