Little is found of this fam- ily,-but from the offices he held, I conclude he must have been re- spectable. BAYNES has 5 coats of arms, and BAYNE 5. BANE has 2 coats of arms.
BANKS, JOHN, was an early settler at Windsor, and had one child b. there. He was appointed Clerk to size the weights and measures for Windsor, in 1643.

He had a house lot of 2 1-2 acres in Fairfield, Jan. 5, 1649, and other tracts of land afterwards. In May, 1651, he purchased land there, of Daniel Frost. ( Town Rec.)

This fact identifies him, as Thomas Bar- ber, of Simsbury, who contracted to build the meeting-house in Sims- bury* before or as early as 1677. He was made a freeman in 1645 ; defendant in court, 1648. Sergeant Barber, for his disorderly stri- king Lieut. Cook, was adjudged to forfeit his office and fined to the country £5.

* As late as April, 1773, it was voted at Simsbury "to sing on the Lord's days, in the after- noon, according to the rules taught in the singing schools, in this and the neighboring socie- ties." To this, Phelps adds a good anecdote; " soon after this, a teacher of music was em- ployed ; after practising some time he appeared with his scholars in church on a Sunday, and the minister having announced the psalm, the choir, under the instructor's lead, started off with a tune much more lively, than the congregation had been accustomed to hear ; upon which, one of the deacons (Brewster Higley) took his hat and left the house, exclaiming as he passed down the aisle, " popery ! popery !" popery ! !

* Hon. Joel Barlow, LL. D., was born in Reading, in Fairfield County, Conn., in 1755. Edu- cated in part at Dartmouth College, in 1774 or '5, and graduated at Yale College, in 1778, in the class with Hon. Zephaniah Swift, Uriah Tracy, Noah Webster, Oliver and Alexander Wol. cott, and other eminent men. He was early found by Trumbull and Dr. Dwight, to possess po- etic talents of the highest order. In 1778, he delivered his poem "On the Prospect of Peace." After he graduated he read law and divinity for a short time, and received the office of chap- lain in the army. In 1783, he resumed the study and profession of law, and located himself as a Lawyer at Hartford, and soon after entered into company with Elisha Babcock, Esq , then of Springfield, and Mr. Babcock removed his press to Hartford, where they printed " The American Mercury." In 1785, by request of the clergy of the "General Association " of Connecticut, he revised the Psalms of Dr. Watts. His " Vision of Columbus," was published in 1787. He re- linquished his interest in the "American Mercury," about 1788, and embarked for England, as Agent for the "Sciota Land Company," and went to France, on the same business, where he became interested in the politics of the country, and joined the "Girondists," and gave up his agency. He returned to England about 1791. His writings, while in England, had given some offence, and he returned to France in 1792. His three cantos on " Hasty Pudding," shewed his poetic talent as happily as any effort he had ever made. In 1795, he had the appointment of Consul to Algiers, where he made a treaty, by which he set free the Americans held in sla- very by the Dey. He also made a like treaty at Tripoli, and there redeemed the American pris- oners, and returned to Paris, in 1797. In 1805, he returned to the United States. In 1811, he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to France.
