John Fellows is the son of Stephen and Mary (Emery) Fellows of Andover, Merrimack county, New Hampshire. He and Polly had five children: Joseph Warren, Susan Smith, Henry Dearborn and Mary Ann. John Fellows was born January 12, 1808. He married 1st Polly Hilton and married 2nd Hannah R. (Osgood) Marston. >History of the town of Andover, p150.
John Fellows was the grandson of Joseph Fellows, the first settler in New Breton, and, like most of the leading men of the town, was a farmer for most of his life. He lived first on the place where Henry W. Kilburn now lives and for several years was engaged in extensive lumbering among the big pines on the "Plains." He afterwards moved to the Bachelder place in the southwestern part of the town, now owned by Mr. Dawes, where for many years he was a successful farmer and raised many cattle for the markets. He then moved to the Center village, to the house now occupied by Miss M. A. Brown, where he died in 1868. Mr. Fellows was active in business, interested in all town affairs, zealous and well informed in the political policies and discussions of his period and an influential man in town and county. He held many town offices and was deputy sheriff from 1851 to 1855. >History of the Town of Andover, NH, p421.
John, second son and third child of Stephen and Mary (Emery) Fellows, was born January 12, 1808, on the farm settled by his grandfather, and continued to reside in his native town through life, becoming one of its most useful and prominent citizens. In 1843 he purchased six hundred acres of land in the western part of the town, on the northerly side of Mount Kearsarge, and engaged in fanning on a large scale. A part of this land is still in possession of his son. In 1852 John Fellows moved to the village of Andover Centre, and resided there the remainder of his life. He was an active man of affairs and served the town in various capacities. An active politician, he was loyal to the Democratic party, and served twenty years as deputy sheriff. He was elected representative in the legislature in 1846 and 1848, and rendered valuable service, creditable both to himself and the town. He was liberal in religious views, and supported the Christian Baptist Church, of which his wife was a member. An independent thinker, he could not be bound by man-made creeds, and despised anything in the nature of cant. An upright man, he was guided by the golden rule, and enjoyed the respect and esteem of his contemporaries. He passed away November 24, 1868, at his home in Andover. >Genealogical and Family History of NH, p423.
