     JOHN HANSON GROUARD, M. D., was born August 9, 1829, at
Rochester, N. H., and died at Pittsburgh, Pa., January 5, 1876, and no history
of Rockingham County would be complete if his name were not included, for
his people and those of his wife belonged here, and his boyhood days were
spent in Rochester. His parents were Ephraim and Marie (Corson) Grouard,
natives of Portsmouth, who had three sons: George, a resident of Read-
ing, Mass.; Leonard, and John Hanson, the youngest.
     From the public schools of Rochester, John Hanson Grouard entered
Dartmouth College, where he made a record for scholarship and was gradu-
ated in the medical department. He early found a congenial field for the
practice of his profession at Pittsburgh, Pa., and in that city spent his useful
and busy life. In 1859 he was united in marriage with Miss Amelia Moore
Shackford, who was born at Portsmouth, N. H., a daughter of Capt. Samuel
and Sarah (Cottle) Shackford. The father of Mrs. Grouard was a sea cap-
tain. Mrs. Grouard has one sister, Mary, who is the widow of William H.
Morton, who died at Salmon Falls, N.H., in 1904. To Dr. and Mrs. Grouard
the following children were born: Sarah S., who died in 1902; Maria Louise,
who is teaching at Briar Cliff, N. Y.; John Shackford, a physician at Nan-
tucket, who married Lena Weymouth; Joseph Morton of Nantucket, a Span-
ish War veteran, having served as corporal of the Seventy-first New York
Regiment, married Miss Laura Brown of, New York City; and Elizabeth
Patterson. The family are members of the Episcopal church.
