(VI) Lovisa Terry, daughter of John Gridley Terry, married Dositheus Humphrey.

(VII) Benajah Humphrey, son of Dositheus Humphrey, and the father of our subject, born Dec. 4, 1805, was educated in the district schools of Simsbury. He learned the trade of carpenter and joiner, and for a number of years was repairer for the Farmington Canal Company, from New Haven to the Massachusetts State line, building many of the bridges across the canal. He also engaged in farming and spent his entire life in Simsbury, where he lived in the house now occupied by John C. E. Humphrey. This house was built about 1825, and is a good example of the so-called Colonial style of architecture. Benajah Humphrey was captain in the State militia, and in politics was a Whig. He married Olive Goodwin (a native of a part of Simsbury now belonging to Bloomfield), who was born April 15, 1811, daughter of Hezekiah and Hannah Kingsbury Goodwin, and granddaugh- ter of Joseph Goodwin, who was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary army, serving at New York when it was captured by the British in 1776.

The Goodwin family, of Hartford, Conn., is one of the oldest in the United States. It has given many distinguished citizens to the country, among whom may be mentioned George Goodwin, a pio- neer editor of the Hartford Courant; Judge Daniel Goodwin, United States district attorney at Detroit ; Stephen Austin Goodwin, United States district attorney of Chicago; James Goodwin, the million- aire; and James J. Goodwin, formerly the partner of Pierpont Morgan. The family in America traces its descent from Ozias Goodwin, who came to Hartford as early as 1639, from England, prob- ably with the Braintree company. It is probable, though not certain, that he came from England to Massachusetts, and thence to Connecticut, as did most of the other settlers of Hartford. His name is on the Hartford monument to the founders of the town. The English ancesry is traced directly to the Goodwins of East Anglia, whose names appear among the records of Norwich, England, as early as 1238. Ozias Goodwin was born in 1596, and married in England, Mary, daughter of Robert Woodward, of Braintree, County of Essex, and they

had three children : William; Nathaniel, whose first wife was Sarah Coles, his second being Elizabeth Pratt ; and Hannah, who married William Pitkin, a school teacher of Hartford. Ozias Goodwin re- mained in Hartford county from the date of his arrival until his death, in 1683. His brother, Will- iam Goodwin, was a ruling elder of the Hartford Church.

William Goodwin, son of Ozias, was born in England about 1629, and came with his parents to Hartford. His wife's name was Susanna, and to them were born children as follows: Susanna mar- ried John Pratt, Jr .; William, who was born about 1658, married Elizabeth Shepard; Nathaniel, who was deacon in the First Church of Hartford, and died in November, 1747, married Mehetable Porter, daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Stanley ) Porter, of Hadley, Mass, and their children were: (I) Mehetable married Joseph Goodrich; (2) HIcze- kiah, baptized March 20, 1692, married Hannah Pantry, and for his second wife Lydia Barnard; (3) Benedicta, baptized Feb. 25, 1694, married Jacob Goodrich ; Isaac, baptized Nov. 10, 1695, mar- ried Hannah Morgan, and for his second wife wedded Ruth Gaylord ; Abraham, baptized July 30, 1699, married Mary Bird; Stephen, baptized Aug. 24, 1701, married Sarah Gillett ; Eleazer, baptized Dec. 19, 1703, married Hannah Easton ; Joanna, baptized Jan. 20, 1706, married Abiel Smith ; Ruth, baptized March 7, 1708, married a Bird or a Stod- dard ; Alice, born May 19, 1710, married a Mr. Cad- well ; Nathaniel was baptized Sept. 24, 1712.

Mehetable Porter, who became the wife of Na- thaniel Goodwin, was one of the cleven children of Samuel and Hannah ( Stanley) Porter, of Hadley, Mass. She was born Sept. 15, 1673, and died Feb. 6, 1726. Samuel Porter's parents, John and Rose Porter, of Windsor, were born in England. Their daughter Mary married Samuel Grant (eldest son of Matthew Grant, whose daughter Priscilla mar- ried Michael Humphrey), and from them Gen. Grant is descended.

Ilannah Stanley's father, Thomas Stanley, came from England, and settled in Lynn, Mass. He was made freeman March 4, 1635; deputy to General Court, Sept. 2, 1635 ; constable, 1636, in which year he probably removed to Hartford, where he was an original proprietor, his home lot being next the present Center Church ; was several times constable ; removed to Hadley, Mass., 1659, and was buried there Jan. 31, 1663.

Stephen Goodwin, son of Nathaniel, born in Hartford in 1701, there engaged in farming. He married June 27, 1727, Sarah Gillette, daughter of Joseph Gillette, of Hartford, and prior to February, 1731, settled on a tract of land in Bloomfield granted him by his father. To Stephen and Sarah Goodwin were born five children: Mary, born Oct. 4, 1729, married Samuel Stone Butler; Stephen born Sept. 16, 1734, married Abigail Gillett ; Joseph, born Dec. 28, 1736, is mentioned below ; Hezekiah, born Feb.

The LAWRENCE family, to whom our subject is related through his maternal grandmother, IIannah (Kingsbury) Goodwin, is a well-known one in east- ern Massachusetts-Amos Lawrence, the philan- thropist ; his brother, Abbott Lawrence, minister to England; Amos A. Lawrence, founder of the Epis- copal Divinity School at Cambridge; and his son, the present bishop of Massachusetts, being all mem- bers thereof. The Lawrence genealogy traces the line through seventeen generations to Sir Robert Lawrence, of Ashton Hall, Lancashire, England, who was knighted by Richard III, on the third crusade, for bravery at the siege of Acre.

John Lawrence, born at Wisset, Suffolk, Eng- land, baptized Oct. 8, 1609, came to New England about 1630, and settled at Watertown, Mass., later (about 1660), at Groton, Mass. About 1635 his fa- ther, Henry Lawrence, came over and settled in Charlestown. John was twice selectman of Groton. His wife, Elizabeth, died Aug. 29, 1663. They had thirteen children. On Nov. 2, 1664, he married Susanna Batchelder, daughter of William Batchel- der, of Charleston, and by her had two daughters. He died at Groton July 11, 1667, his widow on July 8, 1668.

Enoch Lawrence, born Jan. 5, 1648-9, settled in Groton. On March 6, 1676-7, he married Mrs. Ruth ( Whitney) Shattuck, widow of John Shat- tuck, daughter of John and Ruth (Reynolds) Whit- ney, and granddaughter of John and Elinor Whit- ney, and of Robert Reynolds. Enoch Lawrence died at Groton, Mass., Sept. 28, 1744, leaving four sons.

(III) Daniel Lawrence, son of Enoch, born at Groton, Mass., March 7, 1681, died about 1778, and was buried at Canaan, Conn. It is supposed that he died at the home of his son John, in Norfolk, Conn., as his son Isaac gave the use of a farm to this half-brother as compensation for care of their father. By his first wife, Sarah, Daniel Lawrence had children, Daniel, Isaac, and several children by second marriage.

(IV) Capt. Isaac Lawrence was born in Gro- ton, Mass., Feb. 25. 1704-5. It is supposed that his parents removed to Plainfield, Conn., when he was a child, and that he removed to Canaan from there. "In the spring of 1738, with a team composed of a yoke of oxen, and a horse, he started with his fam- ily and goods in a cart for his new home in what was then called the new and western country." There were no settlements west of New Hartford, and he was obliged to cut his way through the woods, and bridge streams. The distance beyond New Hartford was about thirty miles, and the jour- ney occupied nine days. On one of the nights there was a fall of snow (in May), and in the morning bear tracks could be seen. His destination in what is now Canaan, Conn., was reached June 2, 1738. During his life in Canaan Capt. Lawrence built three different houses, the last, the old Lawrence tavern, erected in 1751, still standing, a fine exam- ple of the substantial building of that day. He was a tall, erect man, "of pleasing countenance, sociable, intelligent, excellent character, and active, correct business habits. He accumulated a valuable prop- erty, owned several large farms, and twenty slaves -a very large number for any one man to own in New England-to whom he gave freedom before his death, with the exception of one who was freed by his heirs. He made provision for the infirm and needy. He held many town offices, and was repre- sentative to the General Assembly in 1765. His extensive business transactions necessarily bringing him in contact with a large number of persons, his

excellent reputation and the veneration in which he was held afford the best evidence we could have that his general course was honorable, manly and benevolent. He and his wife were members of the First Congregational Church organized in Canaan, later of the Second Church, in North Canaan, and the frequency with which his name appears in the business meetings of the Second Church, and in- formation derived from other sources, affords good reasons for believing that lie was an exemplary Christian." The Captain's first wife was Lydia Hewett, whom he married probably in Plainfield, and who died Nov. 14, 1767. His second wife, for- merly Mrs. Amy Whitney, died in 1819. There were eleven children by the first marriage, six of whom died in youth. The youngest was Hannah, born May 25, 1750, who married Willard Kings- bury, and they had six children: Andrew, who was a physician at Rush, N. Y .; Ardon, who settled at Elmira, N. Y .; Philo, at Oswego, N. Y .; Lydia, at Rush, N. Y .; John, who married Rebecca Griswold May 8, 1794, and died Jan. 19, 1841 ; and Hannah, who married Hezekiah Goodwin, of Bloomfield. Conn., their daughter Olive Goodwin, becoming the wife of Benajah Humphrey, of Simsbury. Wil- lard Kingsbury was a soldier in the Revolution, serving in Capt. John Stevens company, of Col. Burrall's regiment, 1776. This regiment reinforced Arnold at Quebec. Two companies were captured at the battle of the Cedars, forty miles from Mont- real, and Willard Kingsbury, one of the prisoners was exchanged August I.

The CURTISS family, to whom Mrs. J. C. E. Humphrey is related through her mother, are de- scended from Peter Curtiss, who settled in West Simsbury (now Canton) about 1744. He was born in 1712, and died in 1756. He married a Miss Parker, from Wallingford, and their children were: Israel removed to Vermont, and died while serving as a major in the Revolutionary war: Eliphalet, born in 1734, died in 1806; Lucy, born in 1739. died in 1816, married (first) Col.

Capt. Eliphalet Curtiss resided on the place left him by his father. In 1800 he removed to western New York, where he died in 1806, his wife, Mar- garet, dying in 1812, in Canton. She was a daughter of Benjamin and Margaret (Clapp) Dyer, the former of whom, born in Boston, was schoolmate of Benjamin Franklin. He

removed to Hartford in 1735, and in 1745 set- tled in Canton. Eliphalet Curtiss was one of the soldiers who "marched for the relief of Boston in the Lexington Alarm." He enlisted May 4, 1775, as sergeant in Capt. Abel Pettibone's company --- the first volunteer company raised in Simsbury- which served- at the siege of Boston. The next year he served at Ticonderoga, was second lieuten- ant, and was afterward captain in the Eighteenth Connecticut Militia. His company was called out in Danbury and New Haven Alarms. He had ten children, of whom Eliphalet was the eldest.

Eliphalet Curtiss, Jr., born in 1758,, died in 1816. He was a soldier in the Revolution. Hc married Mary Wilcox, and later a Mrs. Holcomb, and Eunice, born to the first union, married Deacon Abram Chidsey. Their son, Deacon Anson Chid- sey, married Mary Goodrich. Their daughter, Eunice Chidsey, married Luke Kimball. Their daugh- ter, Mary E. Kimball, married John C. E. Hum- phrey. "These families that bore the name of Cur- tiss were among the most prominent in West Sims- bury, the latter part of the last century." [Brown's Genealogical History of the Early Settlers of West Simsbury, now Canton. ]

Most of the KIMBALL family in America are descended from Richard Kimball, who came from Rattlesden, near Ipswich, County of Suffolk, Eng- land, embarking with his family at Ipswich, April 10, 1634, in the ship "Elizabeth," William Andrews, master. On the same ship came Henry Kemba !!. who also settled in Watertown, Mass., and who may have been his brother. The Kimball family has been settled in the County of Suffolk, England, for at least four hundred years. The original spell- ing of the name is probably Kymbolde. Just pre- vious to the emigration to Massachusetts it was usually spelled Kemball, and in this country was changed to Kimball. The name was a very common one in Suffolk, and is frequently found in old records.

Richard Kimball settled in Watertown, Mass., was made a freeman May 6, 1635, and a proprietor in 1636-37. Soon after this date he was invited to remove to Ipswich, Mass., where they were in need of a competent man to act as wheelwright to the new settlement. The town granted him a house lot, Feb. 23, 1637, also forty acres of land. His first wife was Ursula, daughter of Henry Scott, of Rattles- den. On Oct. 23, 1661, he married ( second) Mar- garet Dow, widow of Henry Dow, of Hampton, N. H. Richard Kimball died June 22, 1675 (aged more than eighty years) ). his widow on March I, 1676. The inventory of his estate amounted to £737, 35, 6d. He had already given to his children at their marriages. Children: (1) Abigail, born in Rattlesden, died in Salisbury, Mass., June 17, 1658.
