without an inhabited tenement thereon. The tavern buildings were erected the year before in anticipation of the opening of the Green Woods Turnpike, a new and shorter avenue of travel, which was to su- percede the Old North road, on the route from Hartford to Albany. Mr. Higley was a model farmer and tavern keeper of the old school. His lands were thoroughly cleared and skilfully tilled. No tippler ever haunted his bar-room. His table fare was suited to the taste of an cpi- cure ; his beds were ever clean and well aired; and his guests found him a social, dignified, and gentlemanly host. The travel on the new road was so abundant that he could choose his guests ; and his choice of cus- tomers gave him an aristocratic reputation, which was by no means les- sened by a sight of the unchained lion on his sign-board, indicative of his strong federal propensities. He was a public-spirited and influential man in the community, largely employed in public business, - was Postmaster from 1806 to 1830, and six times a representative of the town in the General Assembly. In 1828, he retired from the tavern, and built and occupied the house on the flat, now owned by A. N. Beach. In 1838 he moved to Painesville, O., where he died Jan. 5, 1842, aged 77.

Y. He was an ingenious mechanic, and much esteemed for his social qualities and obliging disposition.

thereon, now owned by Jonathan Gilbert, on the east side of South street, until 1799, and continued to reside in the town until 1802.
JEHIEL BURR, from Torrington, lived first on the east side of South street, below Jonathan Gilbert's, and afterwards in a house on same street, next south of Whiting J. Miner's. He and his wife, Mabel, d. about 1800. They had three sons, who resided in the town.

III. HELSEY, d. in Winsted, Jan. 25, 1861, aged 71.
ELI Fox, probably from Chatham, this year bought the Roswell Pond lot on North Main street, and became a pauper, as appears by a vote of the town in 1802, directing a suit to be brought against the town of Chatham for his support.
LEVI Fox is on the tax list of this year. In 1797 he bought the Halsey Burr place, and sold it the following year. In 1798, he bought the Roswell Pond place, above mentioned, and sold it in 1802.
DOCTOR AARON MOORE is on the tax list of this year as a resident of Winsted. In 1802 he bought the Roswell Pond lot, and during his re- maining life resided in the house now torn down, about eight rods east of the road. He was a physician of some note in his day, being the only practitioner in the society until 1810, and the teacher of many doctors who have recently gone off the stage, among whom were Doctors Luman Wakefield, and T. S. Wetmore, of this town. IIe died February 16, 1813, aged 40, of puirid pleurisy, which prevailed at that period. The doctor of the beginning of this century was a more marked personage than his successor of the present day. Doctor Moore, mounted on his Narraganset pacer, with his capacious saddle-bags crammed with physic enough to doctor a cavalry regiment, horses and riders, projecting beyond and above the sides of the animal, making a safe seat for the rider, with stirrups so shortened as to bring his knees to a right angle, was a sight next in solemnity to that of his cotemporary, Parson Kinney, with his gaunt six-and-a-half-foot length of figure, surmounted with a cocked hat and white flowing wig. He married Polly Fyler, sister of Ulysses. She died May 26, 1807.

ANNALS OF WINCHESTER,
GIDEON HALL came from Litchfield a young man, and had charge of a store near Wallen's Hill school-house, owned by Arthur Emmons. In 1803 he bought the Moses M. Camp farm, on South street, and there re- sided until 1814, when he bought of Benjamin Wheeler the farm at the parting of South street from the Green Woods turnpike, which he occu- pied, with an interval of a few years of tavern keeping in the East Village hotel, until his death, February 23, 1850, aged 75. He was a shrewd, uncultivated man of indomitable energy, but without system or method in his business transactions. He was largely employed in public affairs, and in settling the estates of insolvent and deceased persons. As a select- man he managed the affairs of the town with economy, but could render no intelligible account of his doings. As sheriff's officer, in which capacity he acted for many years, his success was wonderful in escaping the conse- quences of his bungling mode of serving and returning legal process. As a politician, he could pull the strings and manage the wires of a can- vass with great adroitness. As a neighbor he was kind and useful in ways of his own. His religious profession was zealous and sincere, but spas- modic. IIe filled a large place in the doings of the community, worked hard during the day, and spent the night in serving writs, canvassing votes, and attending political or religious meetings. He accumulated a handsome estate, and enjoyed the good will of the community. He mar- ried, in 1797, Polly, daughter of Samuel Hayden, Esq. She died March 16, 1830, aged 53. He married (2d), October 4, 1835, Lavinia, daughter of Daniel White, who survives him.

He was representative of the town in 1838, 1846, and 1854; a state senator in 1847, and Judge of Probate from 1839 to 1841, and from 1844 to 1848.
