Henry Yale (3) married Anna Ford, daughter of Jerome. Resides at Patchoque, L. I. They have eight children.
Franklin (4), who has a later home on the site of the old Byington house; married Melissa Ford, daughter of Jerome. They have a son, Alfred Yale, of the Tenth Generation from David and Ann Yale, of Wales, England, 1630.
Opposite Noah Byington's house was the old home of Luther Tuttle (No. 29). The well still of use in the field, is all that has marked the spot, as the site of the house, for many years.
Luther Tuttle, born 1774, was son of Ichabod Tuttle, one of the 28 men of Goshen, Conn., who enlisted 1775 in the Company of Capt. John Sedgwick, grandfather of Major Gen. John Sedgwick, of Cornwell Hollow, for Ticonderoga (captured May 10); married, 1772, Elizabeth Matthews; removed to Wyoming; was in the battle July 3, 1778, and killed by the Indians while running towards the river for escape. His name is inscribed with 159 others, victims of that atrocity, on the monu- ment erected to their memory. His wife, with her three small children, Calvin (1), b. 1772; Luther (2), b. 1774 and Ichabod (3), 1776, escaped in a boat down the river, and made her way back to Conn. (Tuttle Gen.) She married second, 1792, Thomas Hungerford, and died agcd 86.
Luther, the second son, born 1774, married 1796, Mary Bartholo- mew, daughter of Jacob, and resided at this house in District No. 7, of Bristol. Their children were: Chauncey (1), 1797; Betscy (2), 1799, married Carter Newell in 1820; Lemucl (3), b. 1801, d., age 3 years; Mary (4), 1803, married Orrin Moses of Burlington; Celinda (5), 1805, married Wm. Brown; Luther Lemucl (6), 1807, married 1830, Martha Lowrey, daughter of Thomas. Luther and Mary (Bartholomew) Tuttle died the same day of spotted fever, May 3, 1808. She, aged 29 years. Mary and Luther Lemuel were brought up by their Aunt Rosannah (Bartholomew) Cowles, wife of Asabel Cowles, who had no children, and lived in Peaceable St., where Luther spent his days, and the late Edward Fenn Gaylord, who married his daughter, Martha Tuttle, also dicd in 1905. Chloc, daughter of Mary, who married Orrin Moses, be- came wife of Andrew S. Upson of the Upson Nut Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and Unionville, Conn. Another daughter is wife of Thomas Brooks of

Unionville. Other daughters reside near Boston. The sons, John, etc., were large land owners in Burlington. The widow of Luther. Moses, is living in Hartford.
On the south bank of the brook, Wilson Sheldon built his house (No. 30), west side of Jerome Ave., in 1854. He was one of the eleven children of Jerre and Katie (Lanfair) Sheldon of Pine Orchard, Branford, Conn. Children of Jerre and Katie (Lanfair) Sheldon: Nicholas (1), Truman (2), Austin (3), Asher (4), Wilson (5), Roswell (6), Betsey (7), Hannah (8), Safronia (9), Wealthy (10), Phebe (11). With his son Truman he started the present "Sheldon House" for summer sea-side guests. It is continued by descendants of Truman. The cottage re- cently in use at this resort, north side of the road, was originally the home of the family. It was covered with shingles. The daughter Sophronia, who married Mr. Burton, parents of Catherine Burton, sometime of Bristol, resided in the shingled house. Catherine Burton married Alonzo ยท Welton, who died in Bristol, 1864, age 31.
The shingled house was afterwards moved and a modern cottage now stands on its site.
Of the eleven children of Jerre Sheldon only Asher survives. He is a resident of New Haven and 93 years of age, yet able to do light work. He takes pleasure in a walking trip of five miles, at one time, or writing an interesting letter in a clear, firm hand.
Wilson Sheldon was born in Branford, April 9, 1809. Died in Bristol, at the Brook-side home, Nov. 30, 1890, of pneumonia. When young he learned the wood turning business and became an expert workman of his time. His life work was chiefly in the clock-making industries of Bristol; beginning with Day & Brewster or Brewster & Ingraham and ending with the E. Ingraham Clock Co. He married Oct. 17, 1830, Phebe Rebecca Matthews, daughter of Joel and Abigail (Tuttle) Matthews of Fall Mountain, Bristol.
Mrs. Wilson Sheldon was of devoted, religious temperament. She

became a member of the Baptist Church, in Bristol, and a prominent soprano singer in the choir. In early married life, under stress of pro- tracted religious services in connection with intense Bible study, her mind became unbalanced from which she never fully recovered. She died March 25, 1858.
Children of. Wilson and Phebe R. (Matthews) Sheldon were nine in number: Jeremiah (1), 1831-1832; Andrew (2), 1833-1834; Mariette (3), b. Aug. 18, 1834; Emeline (4), b. April 4, 1836; Nancy Matthews (5), b. July 25, 1838; Orlando (6), June 24, 1841; Edward (7), Edgar (8) twins, b. 1845, died aged one year; Miles (9), b. 1848, lived about two years.
Mariette (3), b. 1834, married Ralph Merrills of New Hartford, Conn., a veteran in the Cavalry Service of the Civil War. Two daughters, Clara the elder is wife of Edward G. Peck, a foreman at P. & F. Corbin's, New Britain, Conn. The younger child died as the result of a fall in infancy. Mrs. Mariette Merrills died at the home of her sister, Mrs. E. M. Curtiss, Bristol, March 11, 1904, aged 70.
Emeline (4), b. 1836, married Edwin Miles Curtiss, son of Philo and Charlotte M. Curtiss of Edgewood. Their children were: Emerson W. (1), (blind from birth), married Emily Sheldon; Herbert (2), 2 years; Wallace E. (3); Elbert Everett (4), (drowned at Cedar Swamp Lake, 22 or 23 years of age); Ida May (5), married Will Cable; Linus (6), 10 weeks; Frank (7).

Orlando (6), b. 1841. Enlisted when 22 years of age in the First Conn. Vol. Heavy Artillery. Received honorable discharge Oct. 9, 1865, after the close of the Civil War. The following winter took a course of instruction in the U. S. College of Business and Finance, New Haven, Conn. Has since been occupied in bookkeeping and mercantile pursuits. Married April 5, 1870, at Derby, Conn., Laura Maria Curtiss, daughter of Philo and Charlotte M. Curtiss. Three children were born to them in Bristol. Bertha Laura, a kindergarten teacher in New Britain, and twin daughters, who died in infancy. One son, Curtiss Lanfair, born in New Britain, Conn., Residence in New Britain, Conn. since 1884.
Later Axel V. Jacobson, who married Eliza Johnson, sister to John, Victor, Emma (Mrs. Max Christianson), Mary (Mrs. Axel Kalstrom), and others, bought the place. They were residing there in 1893. The death of Mrs. Jacobson, with subsequent poor health and finally death of Mr. Jacobson soon, again closed the home. It was purchased by Henry I. Muzzy, the present owner. It is seldom occupied and but for short periods.
At the hill top next south, Thomas Martin built a small house (No. 31). Only the well, 40 feet deep, with the nearly filled cellar are left of the former home. Thomas Martin married first a sister of the wife of Wm. Ward, who died leaving the children: Catharine (1), James (2), Mary (3), Patrick (4). The second wife had a daughter Margaret (Maggie). Only Patrick is known to be a resident of Bristol in 1907. When the house burned after 1860, the family moved to the Austin Wilcox house on Farmington Ave., on the mountain opposite the spring. Thomas Martin died Feb. 8, 1890, age 73.
SECOND DIVISION.
In 1829, the town voted that the northeast school district be ex- tended south as far as the south line of the house lot of Wm. Jerome on the west side of the highway. 1830 the town voted that the north- east district be extended south to the south side of the dwelling house of David Steele.
October 6, 1828, is the date of a deed given to Asa Bartholomew by Selectmen of Bristol, Hartford Co., of land in two pieces of old high- way. The lower piece called in the papers "Mill Road" was closed by

Mr. Bartholomew but reopened later when it was known as "the new road." When the first Bristol Directory was published, 1882, it was named Warner St., from its one factory owned by H. A. & A. H. Warner, (afterward burned). This piece was said "to contain all the old highway running easterly and westerly, beginning on the west line of the north and south highway a little north of the dwelling house of Polly Jerome" (now owned by Mr. Lockenwitz) (No. 35), "and from there running westerly a part of the way 212 rods wide and the remainder of the way being 2 rods wide, until it runs to the east and west highway near the house now occupied by David Steele" (No. 46) [in 1907 by Alice M. Bartholomew as a studio], "reserving to Polly Jerome the privilege of a passage to and from her barn."
"The other piece is 2 rods wide and begins on the west line of the north and south highway, a little north of the house now occupied by Isaac Gillett (No. 58), and to extend west and south of the house of Moses Pickingham." The latter piece of old road has not been reopened. It came out on Jerome Ave., a short distance south of Jerome B. Fords' house on the west roadside. Asa Bartholomew then opened Edgewood St. from Jerome Ave. west to south of Moses Pickingham's place.
In March, 1833, an attempt was made to annex to the North School District the resident inhabitants of No. 7, south and southwesterly of the north dwelling house of Asa Bartholomew (No. 55), including that dwelling, or if best, to unite the two school districts in one.
The school meeting of March 11, 1833, to consider the subject in the Baptist "meeting house" adjourned till 3 o'clock, p. m., in the base- ment of the Congregational Church, and "Voted, that the petition of George W. Bartholomew and others, be referred to Joel Truesdale, Tracy Peck and Philip Gaylord, Esqs., as a committee to fully view and examine North and Northeast Districts with regard to 'scholars, dis- tances, etc., and report to a future meeting their opinions; and if thought
251
OR "NEW CAMBRIDGE."
best to unite the two districts, to recommend a location for a school- house." On April 1, 1833, the committee who were appointed at the last meeting, made a written report that in their opinion it would be expedient to unite the two districts, which report was not approved. Instead, it was "Voted, that all that part of the Northeast School Dis- trict lying southeast and west of the north side of the red dwelling house of Asa Bartholomew (formerly the Upson house)" (in 1907 the residence of Augustus H. Warner) "be annexed to constitute a part of the North School District." October 3, 1836, at the annual meeting, "Voted, that all the inhabitants of that portion of this society upon which they reside be established and made a school district by the name of the Middle North to wit: beginning at the run of water passing the highway westward of the dwelling house of Lauren Byington and thence extend- ing eastward to the north and south highway, North to include the red dwelling house owned by Asa Bartholomew and South to include the dwelling house of David Steele," (No. 32).
No. 7, called Northeast District.
No. 8, called North District.
No. 9, called Middle North.
In 1841, when the School Society's Committee were instructed to settle and define the boundaries of several districts agreeable to the law, it was done, and all written out in 1842. It was "Resolved, that all the territory within the following lines and boundaries shall form and con- stitute one school district, viz: Beginning at the center of the highway between the houses of Noah Lewis and David Steele, opposite the north- east corner of said Lewis' land, lying on the west side of the highway, and thence west on said Lewis' land north to his northwest corner, thence north in a direct line to the southeast corner of Rensselaer Upson's east line, and on the east line of land of David A. and Franklin Newell to the northeast corner of the ancient Newell farm, and thence across the lots and pond in a direct line to the bridge, across the small brook (or sluice) a little east of Byington and Graham's Factory, thence north across the lots to the original line between the old Byington and Camp farms, and thence east, following said line to the highway, and thence east across the highway and continuing east on the line between lands owned by Joseph Byington and Allen Winston to the center of the North Branch Stream and thence south in the center of said stream to the dividing line between the farm of Noah Lewis and the farm of the late Mark Lewis, deceased, and thence west on said original line to the highway and place of beginning. And all persons now residing within said lines and bounds, and all who may hereafter reside therein, shall be, form, and constitute one school district and be known and called District (No. 9) with all the rights, privileges and immunities that school districts by law enjoy."
Soon after this change. in the districts was effected and supposed to be amicably settled, some of the residents of School District No. 8 urged that the "grist mill" be left in their district as they wished the income from the property tax; though considering its location, it seemed properly to belong to No. 9. A meeting was called, when a good man from No. 8 made a speech advocating the change. He requested No. 9 to remember the Golden Rule and do as they would be done by. "Fugh! Fugh!" said "Uncle" Asa Bartholomew, in reply, "we go by the Wooden Rule. Do as you agree," which seemed to settle the argument.
Having canvassed the north part of District No. 7, to the line as defined in 1842, to be the division between No. 7 and No. 9, making two districts of the one, No. 7, the record locates the remaining families now of No. 9, beginning with the southern-most house, (No. 32), which was early built by Josiah Lewis for his youngest son, Mark. It is said, if the date of Mark Lewis' marriage were known, it would correspond with that of the house building. The "house, with the farm of one hundred acres, a barn, a cow, a hive of bess, and a "Waterbury Sweet apple tree" being the marriage gift expected from the indulgent father, Josiah Lewis. Mark Lewis married Sarah Root, who died 1843, age 76. The children
252

of Mark and Sarah (Root) Lewis were: Adna (1), who married Eunice Dutton and moved to Meredith, N. Y .; Theodore (2), married Phebe Rich, moved to Ohio; Sophia (3), born 1796, died 1827; Romeo (4), married George Lewis' widow; (5), Harry moved to Ohio; Willis (6), born 1800, married Lavina Bradley, died 1826; George (7), born 1802, married Miss North of Farmington, Conn., studied medicine and died of consumption in Florida, 1833, aged 31 years.
In 1830, David Steele, who married Nancy Wilcox, daughter of Benjamin, and sister to Chester, moved from his former home on the Mill Road to possess the Mark Lewis house. He brought his children, Samuel (1), Lucina (2), and Franklin (3), but Jane (4) was born in this second home. At that time the Hartford and Litchfield stages brought parcels of United States mail to the Noah Lewis corner south, which were thrown off without ceremony. Franklin Steele, then a young lad, would run down for the Weekly Courant. One time in particular he does not forget, when he hurried in without knocking, called out "I've come after the paper," and surprised the worthy people at family prayers. Mr. Steele removed the "lean-to" roof of the house and made other changes, so that frequently it is not recognized as one of the ancient Lewis homes. David Steele died Sept. 18, 1853. His widow became Mrs. Wm. Root and resided in Plainville, Conn. She died 1869, age 75. Afterward the Mix family owned and occupied the place the greater part of the time, until quite recently Judd Mix, son of Asahel of Ashbel of Timothy, with his wife, Anne (Palmer) Mix of Farmington, Conn.
Before there was an Advent Church in Bristol, meetings of that denomination were held often and regularly at this house, from 1860 to 1870. Worshipers from Hartford, including the wife of the mayor of the city, and from neighboring towns helped to swell the numbers in attendance. They were then called Millerites. When Judd Mix sold his place recently, an auction sale of household goods afforded to lovers of "the antique" an opportunity to secure some desirable articles. The children of Judd and Anne (Palmer) Mix were Arthur, David and

Electa, who cared for the home chiefly after the death of the mother more than ten years past. The sons established gardens and built greenhouses which have developed into the Edgewood Gardens of today, owned and continued by E. W. Holmes.
Mr. Judd Mix and sons are in Bristol Center, 1907.
WILLIAM JEROME (JEROM).
William Jerome 4th, with his sister Mrs. Louisa Blood, and his brother Daniel with wife and daughter Harriet, reside at the next house north (No. 33), on the west side of the way. Their first ancestor in America was Timothy Jerome, who came from England in 1710, and became one of the first settlers of Wallingford, Conn. He purchased a large tract of land in Farmington which he gave to his son William, who had also a sale of land from Ebenezer Hawley of Farmington in 1741, and one from Benjamin Bronson in 1742, while yet he was William Jerome of Wallingford. The records and deeds show his first appearance in New Cambridge (Bristol) 1747, when he traded land with Caleb Palmer, who lived where the house of H O. Miller now stands. It is certain that William Jerome was admitted to the church in New Cambridge in 1750, and his brother Zerubbable, who settled in or near Pequabuc, in 1755, In 1752 the town of Farmington exchanged land with William 1st for a highway, the description of which in the papers, deeds, etc., indicates the location as that of the present thoroughfare appropriately named Jerome Avenue. It extends from Lewis' Corners to Burlington town line. William 1st, and his son William 2d, added to their landed property until it extended easterly as a continuous tract to nearly the present town of Farmington, and northward into Burlington.
William Jerome 3d married Charity Hotchkiss, daughter of Elisha and sister to Elisha, Jr., the clock maker of Burlington. In 1818, with David Steele, they built the house on Warner St. (now owned by A. M. Bartholomew) (No. 46) where the oldest child of Mr. Jerome was born. Soon after they left this place to spend a few years with the aged parents of Mrs. Jerome, in District No. 8. They returned to No. 7 about 1827, when they built the house (No. 33) in which the family have lived to the present time. It is thought to be 80 years old. William Jerome 3d died June 23, 1848, aged 56. Charity (Hotchkiss) Jerome died July 10, 1868. Children: Louisa (1), married Wm. Blood of Charlton, Mass. She has been a widow many years; William (2), not married, a farmer and fruit grower; Daniel (3), a farmer and fruit grower, married Mary Parker of Meriden, Conn. They have one daughter, Harriet Louisa Jerome, 6th generation from Timothy. While there were inany of the older members of the Jerome family who were admitted to the First Congre- gational and only Church of Bristol at that time, this family are loyal members of the Prospect Methodist Church. The fervent prayers of Daniel Jerome have comforted many who have "passed away." They are not forgotten by those remaining as heard in the little schoolhouse of the village,
At the hilltop, north of the Jerome's, is a one-story house (No. 34) in which Simeon Curtiss, son of Joshua, was living before the middle of the last century and probably built. He was born 1816, and died April 3, 1882. He married Maria Hoskins. She brought a letter from Farmington, Conn., 1853, to Bristol Congregational Church. They had two daughters, Adeline (1) who died of consumption, 1862, aged 16. and Alvina (2) who married Julius B. Smith, son of Nelson. She died in Whigville, leaving her son Ernest, born 1874, a cripple from a fall when a babe. At Simeon Curtiss' death in 1882 the proceeds from his little farm were used in New York City, in medical treatment for the benefit of his grandchild and only living descendant, Ernest Robert Smith, who was a sturdy child to all appearances except for inability to walk. Though helped and able to attend school he was never cured of lameness. He went with the family when they removed to Geneva, Ohio, where he died of consumption Jan. 11, 1900, aged 26. A sister younger lived to the age of six years. For some years Simeon Curtiss.

1856 to '63, lived on the Martin Hart farm. He was in occupancy of the Hart house when it burned. While away, one of the tenants of his own house was Augustus H. Warner when living with his first wife, Eugenia (Smith) Warner. Their children were Henry D. and Fannie Warner, who married William Hart, son of Calvin 2d, living in Bristol Center.
The place then passed into the hands of Peter J. Lawson (Larson), who with his wife and youngest child, Carl Peter (Peterson), came from Sweden to America in 1882, and for the 26 years since has been with the Bartholomews in the factory. The father died March 14, 1907, aged 78 years. Carl Peter Peterson married Hilda E. Danielson (in America since 1891). They have two children, Mildred and Valdemar. Christina A. Peterson, oldest child of Peter J. Lawson, was the first of the family
to cross the Atlantic. She came to America, 1879; lived in the family of the late H. S. Bartholomew until 1886 or 1887, when she married Charles Neilson of Bristol, Conn. They have a daughter and son living in Bristol. Her sister, Annie C. Peterson, came with the brother John August in 1880. She married Peter Neilson (dec.) brother of Charles. She has been a patient at the Middletown Hospital some years. Of her four children Albin and Elmer died, Ruby and a younger sister are in Hartford.
WILLIAM JEROME 1st
The ancient but well preserved house of William Jerome 1st (No. 35) is next north, on the west roadside also. Its last occupant to bear the name of Jerome was Polly, mentioned in the deed of old highways to Asa Bartholomew 1828, when a passage to her barn was reserved. The house once painted red is now looking youthful in a coat of white, un- mindful of the burden of lives it has protected during its more than century and half of existence. There is no one to state the exact year of its building. From all the traditions of the continuous family it is learned that it is one of the oldest houses in Bristol built by the great-
