Oliver Ames, son of Capt. John and Susannah (Howard) Ames, was born April ll, 1779, in West Bridgewater, Mass. He received but an ordinary common school education, which with practical experience in the blacksmith shop of his father furnished him the ground work of a sober judgment, industrious habits, and a stable and energetic character. At the age of eighteen he went to Springfield, Mass., where his elder brother, David, then resided, to learn the trade of gunsmith. Oliver Ames continued there until the close of his brother's term as superintendent of the Armory; in 1802, and then returned to Bridgewater and engaged with his father in the manufacture of shovels. At the very beginning of the, nineteenth century, and very soon after his marriage, he removed from Bridgewater to the town of Easton, and began the manufacture of shovels and hoes. On Aug. 1, 1803, he purchased the Shovel Shop pond privilege and moved to Easton the following year, building the first factory for the manufacture of the
famous Ames shovels. After three years there he moved to Plymouth to manufacture shovels for Messrs. Russell, David & Co. However, he retained his property and
business in Easton, carrying on there the manufacture of hoes and shovels, and was also one of the partners in the cotton factory managed by Col. David Manley. He returned to Easton in 1811. In those early days he was beset with embarrassments and difficulties that would have disheartened and defeated anyone but a man of persistent energy, and great ability. The effect upon business of the war of 1812 was still felt; the cotton factory had been burned; he. was endeavoring to restore the business of his father to a prosperous condition, and had made great outlays in getting established in Easton. But his credit was good and his courage strong; his character and ability alike inspired unlimited confidence, and he worked steadily on a sure and lasting success. His business in time became by far the largest and most prosperous shovel business in the world. He never would permit any work to be sent to the market that was imperfect, and he thus laid the foundation for the great reputation which the Ames shovel has borne and which it continues to bear. In 1844 he retired from active business, transferring the active management to his sons Oakes and Oliver, under the firm name of Oliver Ames & Sons.
Mr. Ames was a man of strong and resolute will, of great force of character, indomitable energy, and persevering industry. He possessed a splendid physique,
and easily bore off the palm in all feats of strength and skill, especially in wrestling, of which he was very fond. His manly and dignified bearing gave all who saw him the impression that they looked upon a man of mark. Born of the people, he was always very simple in his tastes, as well as democratic in his feelings and principles. He was equally decided in his likes and dislikes; but his judgment of persons was based upon what he believed to be the real worth of anyone, without reference to station or condition. He was consequently greatly respected and beloved by his neighbors and townsmen.
Mr. Ames was no lover of office, being ambitious alone to have the charge of the highways of his town intrusted to him; yet he was a number of times honored by his fellow townsmen, being elected in 1828, 1833, and 1834 to the Massachusetts Legislature, and served with marked ability upon the committee on Manufactures. Contrary to his desires he was elected in 1845 and by a large vote to the Massachusetts Senate.
In his religious faith Mr. Ames was a decided Unitarian, and the founder of the Unitarian Society of Easton, and he was liberal in his aid to religious institutions. He gave largely to charities.
In April, 1803, Mr. Ames married Susan Angier, who was born March 8, 1783, daughter of Oakes Angier (Harvard, 1763), an eminent barrister of his day. Through her maternal grandfather, Edward Howard, she was a direct descendant of John Winslow, a brother of Gov. Edward Winslow and uncle of Gov. Josiah Winslow; John Winslow married Mary Chilton, of "Mayflower" stock. She was a great-great-granddaughter of Rev. Urian Oakes, president of Harvard College, 1675-81, a direct descendant of Rev. Dr. William Ames, the eminent divine, author, theological controversialist and professor in the University of Francker, in Friesland. Dr. Ames's daughter, Ruth, after his death came with her mother and brother to New England, where she married Edmund Angier, of Cambridge, and their son, Rev. Sam- [transcriberÂ’s note - there seems to be something missing here, although all the pages are present in the book] able and honorable man. His name was felt to be a sufficient indorsement of the worth and promise of any enterprise.
Business cares were not allowed to engross all of Mr. Ames's attention. He continued to the last his interest in literature, kept himself familiar with the great questions that agitate thought and life, enjoyed the society of cultivated persons, and often surprised them by the clearness and comprehensiveness of his carefully formed opinions. In his character there were blended an admirable simplicity and a most cordial fellow feeling with a real dignity and refinement. He was noted for his generosity. No help was denied any object that commanded his confidence; but he shrank from all publicity in his benefactions. He had a high sense of honor, that was prompt to rebuke anything mean and dishonorable. He was not only a philanthropic but also a deeply religious man. Many of his benefactions have not been disclosed, but those he was known to have bestowed were most wisely made, and are doing a good that is incalculable. He gave a fund of $50,000 each for the schools, the roads and a free public library. He built and gave a beautiful church to the Unitarian Society. Besides these may be mentioned his gift of the Village cemetery, of Unity Church parsonage, and two other bequests to keep the church, parsonage and cemetery in repair.
On June 12, 1833, Mr. Ames married Sarah, born Sept. 23, 1812, daughter of Hon. Howard and Sally (Williams) Lothrop, of Easton. She died Feb. 28, 1890. Their children were: Frederick Lothrop Ames, born June 8, 1835; and Helen Angier Ames, born Nov. 11, 1836, who died Dec. 13, 1882. Oliver Ames died March 9, 1877, at North Easton, Massachusetts.
[56957] William is son of Gilman Chapman (1809-1885) & Mary Ann Brown (1809-1866; m. 9 October 1836 in Bethel, Oxford Co., ME).
