Y,, January 15, 1865, aged eigh- ty-seven years, eleven months, five days. Jos- eph Studwell married (first) Sarah Mead. who was born December 15. 1785, at Greenwich, Conn., a daughter of Abel and Phebe R. Mead. Abel Mead was a descendant of John Mead, who emigrated from England in the year of 1642. This John Mead was the ancestor of the Fairfield county and Westchester county Meads. Joseph and Sarah Studwell had but one child, Edwin Studwell, who was born in Greenwich, Conn., November 5, 1803. Sarah Mead Studwell died in Greenwich, Conn., April 15, 1807, aged twen- ty-two years, four months, and was buried at Bedford, N. Y. Edwin Studwell is living at South Salem, now in his ninety-sixth year, being the oldest representative of the family name, and there is no record of any Studwell having reached his great age. The following was written by Edwin A. Studwell, relative to his father Edwin Studwell, to whom James W. Studwell, the com- piler of the Studwell genealogy, is indebted for this branch of the record:

"As to the Studwells and Meads, my fath- er's family, I know of none that were drunkards. I never saw or heard of a single instance where any of his immediate family were under the in- fluence of the intoxicating bowl. Some of the younger or present generation smoke. The Stud- wells and Meads were not only a farming class, but were more of a money-making family, either as manufacturers, merchants or speculators. My father was born early in this century, and has lived .through the major part of our country's prosperity and existence. As neighbor and citi- zen he has always been highly respected; his word was as good as his bond; never aggressive in politics-an Old-line Whig, then a Republican from the organization of the party. As a farmer he excelled, not a farm in the township equalling his. The largest crops were awarded him; not a rock or stone left in the meadows, all the low land being redrained; in fact his farm was his pride. For seventy years he has lived on the same farm where he took his young bride. There

his children were born; there they left him for their several life's work. There his dear part- ner was taken from him after they had lived to- gether nearly forty-eight years; and there he is quietly ending his long life. A life without a blemish, a character unstained. A man respected by all far and near, a watchful father, a faithful and affectionate husband, an esteemed citizen and neighbor, a good man. A man that never uttered an oath; never used tobacco; never used liquor except medicinally; never spoke an unkind word of any one. With a retiring, unassuming disposition, his life has been without guile. His sterling character and manly principles are known to all those to whom he has practiced dealings in life. Exemplified in his life the real, the true, the practical way, the character which constitutes the real Christian."

Edwin Studwell was married by Rev. Steven Saunders, at South Salem, N. Y., October 22, 1828, to Eliza Hull, daughter of Capt. Jacob and Hannah (Bouton) Hull, the latter of whom was the daughter of Capt. Moses Bouton, a Revolu- tionary soldier. Eliza Hull was born in South Salem, September 14. 1805, and died there May 29, 1876, aged seventy years, eight months, fif- teen days.
