A MODERN HISTORY OF NEW HAVEN
The Twenty-seventh Connecticut, in which North Branford had five men, was recruited largely from this part of the state, and "by the gallantry of its conduct has won for itself an enviable name and reputation."
There is not a little justified pride of family in North Branford. Here still are the descendants of the Mulfords, the Pettys and the Harrisons. Maltby, Bronson, Page, Rose and Revere are among the names of the town's honored citizens. And above all North Branford preserves such names and such citizens as the Russells and Holabirds. The former go back to that Rev. Samuel Rus- sell of the original Yale founders, in whose house in Branford, as we have seen, the Collegiate school had its actual beginning. His father, Rev. John Russell, came to America in 1635, settling in Cambridge (Newtown), Mass. Thirty- four years later he was leader of the band that settled Hadley, Mass. At his house the regicides Goffe and Whalley found refuge, and there Whalley died about 1678, and was buried in the cellar. Rev. Samuel Russell was born in 1660 at Hadley, was graduated from Harvard in 1681, and came to be pastor of the church at Branford, of which community, up to the time of its incorpora- tion in 1831. North Branford was an essential part. His grandson, Jonathan Russell, born in Branford in 1700, married Eunice Barker in 1720 and settled in North Farms. He had seven children, Ennice, Ebenezer, Jonathan, Abigail, Timothy, Lydia and Mary. Jonathan the younger, born in 1731, married Lydia Barker. They had eight children, Eunice. Lois, Irene. David, Jonathan, Esther, Lucretia and Augustus.
With the Russells are associated by marriage the Holabirds, another prom- inent North Branford family. John Holabird, founder of this line, in its New England connection, was born in Litchfield County in 1768. He married in 1788 Mary Belden. Their son, Charles Holabird, born in 1788, married Sarah Butler in 1816, and moved to Sheffield, Mass., where he was town elerk for a number of years-"Esquire Holabird." Their son IIiram B. Holabird married Maryette Vosburgh. Their grandson Charles F. Holabird, who was born in Sheffield in 1856, coming to North Branford in his youth. married there on December 25, 1877, Bertha H., daughter of Alfred and Caroline (Harrison) Russell. They have seven children : Roy Russell. who married Lillian Johnson of New Haven in 1899: Charles Lovell ; Douglas Butler, who married Lelia B. Byington in 1911: Ralph Harrison, who married Carrie Knope in 1910; Lucy Russell, May Vosburgh and Effie Rose.
In connection with the Russell descent it is of interest to note that John Russell, eldest son of the Rev. Samuel Russell, who was graduated from Harvard and married Sarah Trowbridge of New Haven in 1707, had a danghter Rebecca who married Ezekiel Hayes, and was the grandmother of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, nineteenth president of the United States.
To the rule that North Branford of today is a strictly agricultural com- munity there is one exception, but it is important. It is not generally known without the town. and perhaps, so systematically and smoothly is it earried on. not adequately by the people within, that in North Branford there has sprung

AND EASTERN NEW HAVEN COUNTY
up in a decade one of the largest industries of its kind in the country, known as the New Haven Trap Rock Company. About the year 1903 some undeveloped farm land at that portion of Totoket Mountain known as Great Hill was acquired and the Totoket Trap Rock Company was organized by a group of men who did not carry the projeet through, and during the year 1914 the New Haven Trap Rock Company acquired the property. Development of the present quarry was com- pleted early in 1915 by the well known contraeting engineers, C. W. Blakeslee & Sons, who also supervised the installation and construction of the crushing plant. Likewise the charter rights of the Branford Steam Railroad Company were purchased and an extension secured to the charter which, with the pur- chase of necessary right of way, made it possible for a six-mile railroad to be completed from the quarry to a connection with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and for the establishment of a dock terminal at Pine Orehard. In addition to these rail and water facilities there is also a connection with the Shore Line Electric Railway Company's traeks at North Branford and the layout of the whole scheme provides for a connection with the trolley tracks of the Connectient Company at Pine Orchard, at such time as conditions shall call for such a connection.
About 150 men are employed. giving opportunity for profitable work by many of the town's people under very favorable conditions. This, for a town whose population is 833, is a large labor opportunity. This is by far the largest trap rock quarry in this section of the country, and its future develop- ment gives promise that it may become the largest in America if not in the world.
The officers and directors of the company are all New Haven men with the exception of E. HE. Mather of Boston. The Hayden Stone Company of New York and Boston are very large stockholders in this enterprise and help greatly in its organization and finaneing. The general officers of the company are:
President, D. A. Blakeslee ; vice president. T. R. Blakeslee ; secretary, George E. Hall ; treasurer, Clarence Blakeslee ; general manager, W. Scott Eames.
The general offices of the company are at 67 Church Street, New Haven.
