Short, rector of the Episcopal Church at North Salem. When old enough he learned the trade of hatter with his father, and in course of time con- ducted the business for him. At the age of twenty years, his father having given up the business, our subject entered other hat factories, and worked therein as a journeyman until Oc- tober, 1866, when he went to Millburn, N. J., and with Edgar Northrop, of Newtown, engaged in the manufacture of hats under the firm name of Northrop & Shepard, doing a commission busi- ness. This arrangement continued until April 1, 1867, and May I following Mr. Shepard com- menced the manufacture of hat leathers, later taking up the making of wire and other hat sup- plies, starting in business at Danbury in the Benedict hat shop on West street. At the end of six months he located in an old tannery on the spot where J. H. Baird's hat factory now stands, thence after two or three years remov- ing to the building now occupied by Joseph Brotherton, in Bethel, and remained there three years. At the same time he was associated with James D. Baldwin in a comb factory on Center street, but sold out his interest to Mr. Baldwin.

1 ANFORD N. HAYES (deceased.) This well-known resident of Bridgeport, who passed to the unseen life October 6, 1883, was a man whose sterling qualities of mind and heart won for him the esteem and confidence of all who knew him. During the Civil war he made an honorable record, serving as quartermaster, and for many years he was successful in business in Bridgeport as a cabinet maker. Although he never sought prominence in public life, he took keen interest in all that concerned the welfare of

his country, and throughout his life he was a stanch supporter of the principles and policy of the Republican party.

Mr. Hayes was a native of Brookfield, this county, and always made his home in this sec- tion. In 1880 he married Miss Mahala B. Banks, a member of a highly esteemed family that has been identified with Greenfield Hill, this county. from an early day. Her grandfather, Nathan Banks, a Revolutionary soldier, was a native of that locality, and passed his life there in agricult- ural pursuits.

BRADLEY BANKS, the father of Mrs. Hayes, was born and reared at Greenfield Hill, and his wife, Polly Banks, was a native of the town of Weston, and a daughter of Daniel Banks, a pros- perous farmer of that town. Bradley and Polly Banks had children as follows: (1) Nathan B. (deceased) was a farmer at Greenfield Hill. Conn. ; he married and had two children-George H. and Harriet M. (2) William E. (deceased) was a farmer in Fairfield, Conn .; he married and had one son, William B. (3) Henry B. (deceased) was a carpenter at Bridgeport; he married and had two children-Charles H. and Frances U. (4) Rufus B. (deceased) was a farmer at Green- field Hill: he married and had four children- Henry B., Frederick S., Rufus W. and Carrie L. (5) Sarah M. died unmarried. (6) Mahala B. (Mrs. Hayes) comes next in the order of birth. (7) Catherine A. married Albert B. Hull, and re- sided at Hulls Farms, now deceased; they had five children-Martha J., William H., Mary B. and Albert B., and Amelia Catherine. (8) Miss Mary E. resides in Bridgeport. (9) Berzillia B. (de- ceased) was a merchant at Greenfield Hill, where for some time he also held the office of postmas- ter; he married and had six children-four sons: Edgar B., William H., Frank S. and Jesse L .- and two daughters: Georgie A. and Mamie Elizabeth. (10) Harriet B. married Henry E. Andrews, of Weston, now deceased; they had one daughter, Sarah Elizabeth. (11) Martha and (12) Daniel died in infancy. (13) Amelia S. married Capt. Merritt W. Davis, of Long Island. (14) Edwin J., a resident of Bridgeport, married a sister of Capt. M. W. Davis; they have one son, Herbert B.

T THE NORTHRUP FAMILY comes of good old Colonial stock, and is numerously rep- resented in this section. According to early deeds and records and inscriptions upon tomb- stones, the name was sometimes spelled North- rup, and it appears that about the time of the Revolutionary war several branches of the family

changed the spelling to Northrop, which has since been retained.

1. Joseph Northrup, the head of the family in America, came from England, probably from Yorkshire, and was one of the first settlers at Milford, Conn. The first planters of that town were enrolled November 20, 1639, but as this worthy pioneer was not then in fellowship with the Church, his name appears with others in a Jist immediately after those of the "free plant- ers." It is further recorded that he united with the First Church at Milford on January 9, 1642, and his death occurred in that town September 11, 1669. Some of the settlers were members of the company, all possessing "good character and fortunes," who left England in charge of Eaton and Davenport, landing at Boston July 26, 1637, whence they went to New Haven in April, 1638. Others of the settlers belonged to Sir Richard Saltonstall's company, and having become attached to their pastor, Rev. Peter Prudden, from Egerton, Yorkshire, England, they accompanied him from Watertown, Mass., to Wethersfield, Conn., and later to Milford. To this company belonged Francis Norton, whose daughter Mary became the wife of Joseph North- rup. Eight children were born of this union, viz .: Joseph, Jr., baptized August 9, 1649; Sam- uel, baptised in 1651; Jeremiah, who is men- tioned more fully below; John, born September -, 1656, who probably died before 1683; Zophar, born June 21, 1661; Daniel, born in August, 1664; William, born June 2, 1666, and Mary, born in January, 1670. The descendants of Jer- emiah only are traced in this sketch, the list ex- tending to the ninth generation.

Il. Jeremiah Northrup was born in January, 1654. at Milford, where his baptism occurred in the same month, and he died April 11, 1734. He and his wife, Phoebe, had five children, all 'born in Milford. They were John, who is men- tioned in the next paragraph; Jeremiah, who was baptized January 16, 1695, and died July 4, 1771, at the age of eighty-two; Phineas, born January 16, 1695, who married Elizabeth Brinsmade; Benjamin, baptized in October, 1696, who is mentioned more fully below; and Phoebe, born in November, 1705. Two lines of descent are :traced below, and for convenience we will follow 'first that of John, leaving the descendants of Benjamin to be mentioned later in the sketch.

III. Lieut. John Northrup was born in 1687, and baptized January 16. 1695. For some years he followed the weaver's trade at Milford, but in 1712 he and his brothers, Jeremiah and Ben- jamin, had home lots assigned to them at New- town, then a new settlement. In 1720 ten acres

more were allotted to John and Benjamin. All of the brothers were prominent in the affairs of the town, and the office of town clerk was held by John and his son of the same name, during a period of twenty-five years. Here also resided Thomas Northrop, a son of William and a grandson of Joseph; he married Abigail Terrill, of Newtown, and after her death removed to New Milford and lived with his sons-his descendants residing in Sherman and New Milford. The name of Thomas is also on record with those of his cousins, John Jeremiah and Benjamin, in 1712, and his chil- dren were born in Newtown. On January 7. 1713 or 1714, Lieut. Northrup married Mary Por- ter, of Milford, who died March 19. 1786, aged ninety-seven years, and he himself died very suddenly January 9, 1767, at the age of eighty.

She died May 28, 1804, and her husband in 1795. aged eighty-one. Their three children will be mentioned here, as the line is not continued far- ther. (1) Capt.
