ON the publication or proposed publication of a book, it is legitimate to inquire, What is the object? Why another book? Why this ? And it is too late in the world's time to deny the right, or question the propriety of thus asking for the reason of things.
This little unpretending volume, made up in great part of names, which had a local habitation in a very rural district, may seem to many uncalled for, and not to justify the labor and expense of its compilation and printing. But if it has nothing to boast of renowned characters beyond what is com- mon to other localities and settlements in its vicinity, it still contains the seeds of things whose productions it becomes us well to study and understand.
As to names, the world is full of them, because it is full of things, and we have the highest authority for their use and record. When in the beginning God made the light, he gave it a name; he called the light day, the darkness he called night; the firmament, heaven; the dry land, earth ; and the gathering of the waters he called seas. So, when he made man he called him Adam, and the helpmate for him, Eve; and these two were the head and progenitors of all our race. This is ample authority for names and their record. We have also equal authority in the Scripture genealogy for the registration of families, as such, in their local habitation.
The sons of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japhet, went forth out of the Ark, and of them the whole earth was overspread. Again, it is written, (Gen. 10:32,) These are the families of
4
the sons of Noah, after their generations in their nations, and by them were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
Every settlement has a beginning, a development, a prog- ress. Every smaller settlement is an integral part of the larger; the district of the town, the town of the county, the county of the state, the state of the nation; yea, the nations make but one World. Families make a settlement, and if the origin and progress of a settlement contain items of value and of interest, to no others, surely they must to themselves and to their descendants. This work was under- taken some two years since, by ABIEL BROWN, Esq., a des- cendent of one of the first settlers, in the west part of Sims- bury, now Canton, not in anticipation of any personal pe- cuniary profit, but for the collection and preservation of facts and incidents connected with the first settlers of the town, which it was believed, might be useful to the present, and coming generations.
In the prosecution of his undertaking, he was stimulated by the urgent request of many of the younger men of the place who expressed their conviction that such a record, made and preserved, would be invaluable to the inhabitants of the town in after time. The result, extending far beyond the first intention of the author, is short sketches, with the record of about one hundred and eighty-five families, extend- ing down to not far from the close of the ministry of Rev. Jeremiah Hallock.
The materials of the work have been gathered by an ex- amination of monuments and burial records in the town of Canton, of monuments and probate records in the town of Simsbury; some items were collected from Windsor, and some from Plymouth, Mass. Beside thes and similar sources of information, the author was largely indebted to the storehouse of his own memory, by the strength and ten- acity of which, he, above all was the man fitted for such an undertaking. The man who could "remember where he was and what he did every day in a single year,"* was of all, the man to undertake such a labor.
* A remark he once made to his nephew, Heman Humphrey, D. D., Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

Perfection in this work is not claimed. The lapse of more than one hundred years and the extreme paucity of family records make this impossible. The amount of labor, both physical and mental the work has cost, can be understood by those only who have themselves been engaged in some work of this kind.
Mr. Brown expressed to his family, his felt obligation to many individuals who had rendered him essential aid in his undertaking, particularly to Ephraim Mills, Esq., of Canton, and John O. Pettibone, Esq., of Simsbury.
Expressing his deep regret that we know so little of our ancestors, and in the hope that his efforts might contribute to an increased acquaintanceship with the families, the character, and the influence of the past generations, he was suddenly called from all earthly cares and efforts, leaving the work he had in hand to be completed and disposed of by others.
The work is rather a record than a history ; a record of families, and noteworthy events, which we doubt not will interest and instruct the people of Canton, and such, at least, in other parts of the land and world as look back to this town as the place of their nativity and of very many of their most hallowed memories.

OLIVER BRONSON, a native of Guilford, Conn., was employed by the people of Simsbury, about 1773, to teach vocal music, in the society. This occurrence led to his acquaintance with Miss Sarah Merrell, daughter of William Merrell, Sen., which finally resulted in their being united in marriage. He then became a resident of West . Simsbury, and with his partner and family resided on land now owned by Harvey Mills. The house was situated be- tween the house of Harvey Mills, and Ozias Pike. All their children, save the youngest, were born in this town. He became quite celebrated as a teacher of vocal music, and was employed in several of the most popular churches in Connecticut, in addition to his own adopted society. He removed to Old Simsbury in 1786, and there resided till about 1802 ; then removed to Cazenova, New York.

A GENEALOGICAL SKETCH OR HISTORY OF THE ANCESTRY OF THE BROWN FAMILY.
PETER BROWN, one of that memorable little band who landed at Plymouth, Mass., Dec. 22d, 1620, appears by tradi- tional accounts, in connection with many historical facts and other sketches of record, with other corroborating cir- cumstances, to be the progenitor of the Windsor Browns. He came to America single; was by trade a carpenter ; he died 1633. Peter Brown, 2d, was born 1632; he married Mary Gillett, 1658; his monument in Windsor burying-ground tells us that he died Oct., 1692, aged 60 years. He had four sons, Peter, John, Jonathan, and Cornelius. They all had numerous families. In 1694 they exchanged lands that were their fathers with the selectmen of the town of Windsor. John, 1st, the 2d son, was married to Miss Elizabeth Loomis, 1692; she died 1723. They had three sons and eight daughters. The names of the sons were John, 2d, Isaac, and Daniel. John, 2d, the eldest son and the fifth of the family was born March, 1700; married Miss Mary Eggleston, March, 1725. He died 1790, aged 90 years. His wife died 1789, aged 87. They had two sons and seven daughters. Mary, the oldest of the family, remained single through life and died aged 100 years.
15
Margery married David Filley; she died 1775, aged about 45; she left no children alive. The other daughters all died in childhood and youth, most of them with the canker rash; their deaths were in quick succession. The names of the two sons were John, 3d, and Ezra. John, 3d, the oldest of them, was born November 4th, 1728; married Miss Hannah Owen, 1758. She was the daughter of Elijah and Hannah Owen. Her grandfather, Isaac Owen, was one of the first settlers in Turkey Hills ; her mother was daughter of Brewster Higley. Elijah Owen died September, 1741, aged 35; his relict died 1806, aged 90. After the death of Mr. Owen, she married Pelatiah Mills, and was the mother of a numerous Mills family. The names of the Owen children were Rebecca, Elijah and Hannah ; names of the Mills chil- dren were Pelatiah, Samuel, Roger, Patty, Eli, Frederick, Susannah and Elihu. John Brown, 3d, was chosen Captain of the train-band, in West Simsbury in the spring of 1776. His commission from Governor Trumbull, bears date May 23d, 1776. A regimental order from Col. Jonathan Petti- bone to Capt. John Brown, bears date June 11th, 1776, and reads as follows :
To John Brown, Captain of the 8th Company in the 18 Regiment of the Militia in the Colony of Connecticut.
WHEREAS the General Assembly have Enacted, that One third Part of the 2d, 3d, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 20th Regi- ments, and One quarter part of the other Regiments of the Militia, or a Number equivalent thereto, be forthwith inlisted or detached, from the Limits of the several Regiments in this Colony, to be held in Readiness, for the Defence of this or any of the adjoining Colonies; and the Colonels or chief Officers of the respective Regiments, are to issue the necessary Orders therefor.
These are therefore to command you, forthwith to con- vene your Company, and also give Notice to, and request the Attendance, at the same Time and Place of all others, within the Limits thereof, who are obliged to keep Arms, and are between Sixteen and Fifty-Five Years of Age, and
16
being so convened, to inlist out of any of them (or other- wise as soon as may be) the Number aforesaid, and if a sufficient number shall not voluntarily inlist, you are hereby farther commanded, with the Advice and Assistance of the other Commission Officers, to detatch and impress, out of your said Company, such Number of able bodied Men, as shall appear to be wanting, of the enlisted Men, to make up the Complement aforesaid; and make Return of your Doings in the Premises, to me within Six days after said Men shall be inlisted, or detached, taking Care to return the Names of the Men enlisted, and the Names of those detached, distinguishing between those of the Militia and those who are not.
Given under my Hand, in Simsbury the 11th Day of June, Anno Domini, 1776.

As Witness our Hands.
The company was soon raised and with it, Captain Brown marched and joined the army at New York, where, after about two months service he was taken sick with the dysen- tary and died September 3d, 1776, leaving a wife and eleven children, the eldest being but eighteen years of age, and the oldest son but nine.

DR. SAMUEL BARBER, the subject of these historical sketches, had the reputation of a good citizen, although somewhat eccentric in his habits and not unfrequently im- pulsive in his actions. He doted much in his skill in roots and herbs; was famous as a hunter, the woods at that time affording an abundance of game. In one of his hunting excursions in Norfolk, accompanied by some of his sons they chased a large panther into his den, and how to dislodge him from his hiding place was the first question to be solved. The old gentleman, nothing daunted, Putnam like, descended into the cavern ; after grouping his way some distance the panther not relishing this intrusion upon his retreat suddenly turned and made for the entrance of his den which he accomplished by closely squeezing by his bold intruder. The panther, on his arrival at the mouth of the den, seeing the party without prepared to give him bat- tle, stood motionless, when one of the sons discharged a ball through his body and intestines which produced no emotion, the animal sullenly retaining his position. This act of the son called forth a sharp reprimand from his father, for his not taking a more effective aim, and calling for his gun the old gentleman discharged a ball through the head of the animal which put an end to his existence. This exploit may justly be put on a parallel with the famous story of " Putnam and the Wolf."
The family of Barbers were among the earliest and most conspicuous of West Simsbury and a more extended notice of them is here given. The immediate ancestor of the fam-
19
ily of Barbers who settled in West Simsbury was Samuel Barber who died about 1725. He was a descendant of the first Thomas Barber, of Windsor. He married Mercy Hol- comb, granddaughter of the first Thomas Holcomb. This Mercy died 1787, aged 96. She removed from the old par- ish to West Simsbury in the year 1738, with her four sons, Samuel, Thomas, Jonathan and John, and her daughters, Mercy, wife of Ephraim Buel, and Sarah, wife of John Case, 4th. Her sons settled on Cherries Brook, on lands contig- uous to each other, comprising the meadows and best lands in the center school district in Canton. The family were noted for their habits of immigration and are to be found in various states of the Union ; few of the descendants (al- though numerous) are to be met with in the town of Canton.
DR. SAMUEL BARBER. He settled on the farm now owned by Norton Case. He married for his first wife Tryphene Humphrey, daughter of Samuel Humphrey, by whom he had seven sons. Her monument is the oldest in the town of Canton. His second wife was Hannah, daughter of Capt. Noah Humphrey, who commanded a company at the capture of Havanna, in 1762. By this marriage he had seven children, four sons and three daughters.
