COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

Barnstable: (I) (Gov.) Thomas married (first) Mary Richards, and (second) Mary (Smith) Glover. (2) Susanna married Rev. John Smith. (3) Sarah married Elder Henry Cobb. (4) Mary married James Haughton. (5) Elizabeth, baptized Sept. 6, 1635, married Elisha Parker, who settled in New Jersey, and was an ancestor of the late Hon. Joel Parker, of that State, a governor and United States Senator, and of Courtlandt Parker, the eminent lawyer. (6) Samuel was buried March 22, 1645, at Barnstable, aged three years. (7) A daughter, unnamed, was buried July 8, 1640, at Barnstable. (8) and (9) Twins, unnamed, were buried Feb. 6, 1640, and March 19, 1640, at Barn- stable, respectively. (10) Samuel (2) was born July 24, 1642, and married (first) Mary Goodspeed, daughter of Roger Goodspeed, and (second) Mary Fitz-Randolph. (II) John, born May 24, 1644, is mentioned more fully below.

"Gov. Thomas Hinckley was born in 1621, and came to New England soon after his father and mother had made a settlement at Barnstable. The mere recital of the various public duties he was called upon to perform, some of which were the most arduous and responsible, as well as the high- est in the government, is sufficient to show that he was a man of more than ordinary ability and in- fluence. In 1645 he was elected a deputy from Barnstable, and he was again elected in 1648, and at several subsequent periods. In 1658, when Mr. Cudworth and Mr. Hatherly, two of the most ex- cellent men in the Colony, were proscribed and driven from office, on account of their opposition to the rash measures against the Quakers, Mr. Hinckley, falling into the popular current, was chosen one of the assistants, and continued in that office by successive re-elections until the year 1681. At the election of 1680 Mr. Hinckley was especially designated as deputy governor in consequence of the ill health of Gov. Winslow, and the extreme age of Mr. Alden, who, as first assistant, would have succeeded to the chair when vacant. In June, 1681, following the death of Josiah Winslow, Mr. Hinck- ley was chosen governor, in which office (except for the short period of the rule of Andros, when he was a counsellor) he was continued until the sep- arate existence of the Colony of New Haven was terminated by its incorporation with Massachusetts, under the charter of 1692. Upon that event he was named one of the counsellors of the province of Massachusetts, under the new charter." [Moore's "Governors of New Plymouth," etc. ]

(II) John Hinckley, son of Samuel and Sarah Hinckley, was born in Barnstable May 24, 1644, was baptized May 26, same year, by Rev. John Lothrop, and died in Barnstable Dec. 7, 1709. aged sixty-five years, six months and thirteen days. "En- sign" John was married (first), in Barnstable, in July, 1668, to Bethiah Lothrop, daughter of Thomas Lothrop, of Barnstable, and granddaughter of Rev. John Lothrop. She was born in Barnstable July

23, 1649, baptized July 23, 1649, by her grandfather, Rev. John, and died in Barnstable July 10, 1697, aged forty-eight years. "Thomas Lothrop was born in England, probably at Egerton, Kent, about 1621. At about the age of thirteen he came with his fa- ther, Rev. John, to Scituate, Mass., and removed to Barnstable, Mass., about 1639. He married Sarah, daughter of William Learned, and widow of Thomas Ewer. His fifth child, Bethiah, born July 23, 1649, was married to John Hinckley, a son of Samuel." ["The Lothrop Family."]

Rev. Mr. Lothrop was educated at Oxford, as appears from Wood's Athenae Ovoniensis. Four sons came with him from England: Thomas, who settled at Eastham, where his son Thomas was born in 1640; Samuel, at Norwich or New London, Conn .; Joseph, at Barnstable; and Benjamin, at Charlestown, Mass. Barnabas and John were born in this country, and settled at Barnstable. Rev. Mr. Lothrop died in Barnstable Nov. 8, 1653. His descendants are numerous.

John Hinckley married (second), in Barnstable, Nov. 24, 1697, Mary Goodspeed, widow of Benja- min Goodspeed, of Barnstable, and daughter of John and Hannah (Linnell) Davis, of Barnstable. She was born in Barnstable Jan. 3, 1653. His children were all by his first wife, and all born in Barn- stable: (1) Sarah was born in 1669; (2) Samuel, born Feb. 2, 1670, married Mary Lothrop; (3) Bethia, born March, 1673, died unmarried; (4) Hannah, born May 15, 1675, married Benjamin Lewis; (5) Jonathan, born Feb. 15, 1677, married Elizabeth Edwards, in Hartford; (6) Ichabod, born Aug. 28, 1680, is mentioned below ; (7) Gershom, born April 2, 1682, married Mary Buel in Lebanon, Conn. (ancestor of N. G. Hinckley, of Hartford) ; (8) Mercy died unmarried; (9) Mary married John Crocker; (10) Abigail was living in 1718 (further record of her uncertain) ; (II) Job mar- ried Hannah Lombard. "Ensign" John was one of the substantial citizens of Barnstable, a large land- holder ; four of his five sons settled in Connecticut- Samuel in Stonington, Jonathan in Hartford, Icha- bod in Tolland, and Gershom in Lebanon.

(III) Ichabod Hinckley was born in Barnstable Aug. 28, 1680, and died in Tolland, Conn., May 10, 1768, aged nearly eighty-eight years. He was married (first), in Barnstable, Jan. 5, 1702, to Mary Goodspeed, daughter r of Benjamin and Mary (Davis) Goodspeed, of Barnstable. She was born in Barnstable Jan. 10, 1677-78, and died in Barn- stable Oct. 1, 1719, aged thirty-two. On Aug. 3, 1721, in Sandwich, Mass., Ichabod Hinckley mar- ried, for his second wife, Mary Bassett. By the first marriage he had eight children: (1) Mary, born May 27, 1704, died March 2, 1718; (2) Ben- jamin, born June 19, 1707, is mentioned below ; (3) David, born March 1, 1709, died in Tolland in 1796, unmarried ; (4) John, born Jan. 4, 1710-II, died probably in infancy; (5) John, born March 7, 1712, married Susannah Harris; (6) Ebenezer,

born July 7, 1714, died young, and is mentioned in his father's will; (7) Thankful, born Aug. I, 1716, died young ; (8) Mary, born Sept. 26, 1718, married Dr. Samuel Cobb, of Tolland. The chil- dren by the second marriage were: (9) Thankful, born Dec. 2, 1723, married ( first) Jonathan Hatch, and (second) George Nye; and (10) Mercy, born Nov. 22, 1726, probably died young, as she is not mentioned in her father's will.

On Dec. 3. 1730, Ichabod Hinckley, being then a resident of Barnstable, bought 390 acres of land of Josiah Goodrich, the land being partly in Tolland and partly in Willington, Conn., an adjoining town. In 1732 he removed from Barnstable to Tolland, with all his family. He was selectman of Tolland for several years. His will is dated Nov. 18, 1757, and probated Feb. 1, 1774.

(IV) Benjamin Ilinckley, born in Barnstable June 19, 1707, died in Willington, Conn., Oct. II, 1749, aged forty-two years. He was married, in Tolland, Nov. 6, 1733, to Deborah Palmer, of Wind- ham, Conn. Mr. Hinckley was admitted a towns- man in Willington Dec. 17, 1735, and by occupa- tion was a farmer. He and his wife had children as follows: (1) (Capt.) Ichabod, mentioned more fully farther on; (2) Betty, born Jan. 24, 1737; (3) Mary, born Dec. 11, 1738; (4) Anne, born May 14, 1740, died Oct. 9, 1749; (5) Deborah, born Oct. 23. 1743; (6) Benjamin, Jr., born March 18, 1745, died Sept. 19, 1747; and (7) David, born Oct. 29, 1747, died Dec. 16, 1747.

(V) Capt. Ichabod Hinckley, son of Benjamin Hinckley, of Willington, Conn., was born in Will- ington Oct. 13, 1735, and died Feb. 23, 1807, aged seventy-one years, four months and ten days, in Tolland, Conn. In the "Early History of Tolland," by Judge Lorin P. Waldo, we find the following : "He was a captain in the Continental army, and per- formed several tours of duty, besides being other- wise very active in the Revolutionary contest. He was twice a member of the General Assembly, and fourteen years a selectman. People who remembered him spoke with admiration of his integrity and abil- ity as a selectman, and of the dignity with which he used to preside in town meetings." His first wife, Mary, died in Willington Jan. 8. 1769, aged thirty-seven years. He was married ( second), in Tolland, Dec. 12, 1769, to Ilannah Kingsbury, daughter of Deacon Nathaniel Kingsbury, of Tol- land. She was born in Tolland, and died there March 8, 1823, aged eighty-five years. Capt. Icha- bod and his second wife are buried in Tolland, and each have memorial stones. The children by the first wife were: (1) Hannah, born April 23, 1756, died May 20, 1756; (2) Anna, born May 9, 1758; (3) Betliia, born Dec. 10, 1759, mentioned below ; (4) Temperance, born Aug. 25, 1762, died Oct. 17, 1762; (5) Ichabod, Jr., born Sept. 19, 1763, mar- ried Jeruslia Thompson; (6) Benjamin, born Dec. 27, 1765, died Aug. 1, 1780: (7) Daniel, born March 17, 1768, died April 22, 1768. By his sec-

ond marriage were four children: (8) Mary, born Nov. 20, 1770; (9) Hannah, born March 16, 1772; (10) Sarah, born Nov. 15, 1773, died Dec. 28, 1860, unmarried ; (II) Deboralı, born March 15, 1775. These children were all born in Tolland except the first, who was born in Willington.

STEPHEN BALL (deceased), who died at his home in Hartford Feb. 20, 1900, was for many years prominent in business and social life, and worthily represented an honored pioneer family. He was born Oct. 20, 1839, in New Haven, Conn., son of John Scott Ball, and was of the seventh generation in direct descent from Allen Ball and his wife Dorothy.

(II) The line of descent was continued in this generation through Sergt. John and Sarah ( Glover) Ball.

(III) Ensign John Ball, son of Sergt. Jolın, mar- ried Mary Tuttle.

(IV) Deacon Stephen Ball married Abigail At- water. He was among the early settlers at New Haven, and for many years was deacon of the Cen- ter Church. He became the owner of land upon which the Yale College buildings now stand, and his homestead occupied the site of the present Art Building.

(V) Col. Stephen Ball married Nabby Scott. a daughter of John and Lucretia (Warner) Scott. He lived in the trying times of the Revolutionary war, and his grandson, our subject, was fond of re- lating the manner in which he at one time foiled the enemy. As deacon of the church he had charge of the communion service, and when British raiders were searching the house he had a young daughter stand on a ledge in the chimney of the fireplace with the service, which thus escaped observation.

(VI) John Scott Ball, our subject's father, was a merchant in New Haven. He married Laura Ann Miller, who is still living at New Haven, at the advanced age of eighty years.

(VII) Stephen Ball, the subject proper of this review, was sent when six years old to the Glenden- ning school at Stamford, a private school of much importance at that time. After a few years of study there he returned to New Haven, and gradu- ated from the Hill House High School. After grad uating, and when seventeen years of age, he entered the employ of the Townsend Savings Bank, and was there until 1861, when, at the age of twenty-two, he enlisted for the war in Company I, 12th Conn. V. I. On account of his popularity he was made second lieutenant, but after serving about a year in the 12th he went into the signal corps, and remained there until mustered out, at the close of the war.

Just before enlisting Mr. Ball married Ellen Vir- ginia Bradley, of Southington, who survives him. After the war Mr. and Mrs. Ball went to New Or .. leans, where he was in the government employ, being

in the quartermaster's department about three years. At that time Gen. George R. Davis, general manager of the World's Fair, was in the same service, and the two became warm friends. While in New Or- leans Mr. and Mrs. Ball lost an infant son. In 1867 they removed to Hartford, Mr. Ball entering the em- ploy of the State Savings Bank, but remaining only a short time. In 1867 he became identified with the affairs of the Hartford Life & Annuity Co., which had been chartered the previous year, and was still in an unsettled condition as to its business plans. Mr. Ball, although a young man, instituted several forms of life insurance which were immediately adopted, and attracted attention for their stability and cheapness, combined with a systematic rate of premiums. He was elected actuary, a position which he held for two years, until advanced to the position of assistant secretary. This office he held for several years, or until 1874, when he was elected secretary, succeeding James P. Taylor, now presi- dent of the Charter Oak National Bank, and he con- tinued in this office until in April, 1897, he resigned to accept the presidency of the National Life As- sociation, which he held until the company closed its existence, about a year and a half later.

During Mr. Ball's connection with the Hartford Life & Annuity Co., the concern underwent several changes of business plans, including the adoption of the safety fund system of assessment insurance, which gained unbounded popularity during his regime. This plan was introduced by Henry P. Duclos, a well-known insurance man of Burlington, \'t. The system was brought to the attention of Mr. Ball, who, after careful investigation, found it fitted for the needs of the concern, and it was adopted by the company Jan. 20, 1880. Through the persevering efforts of Mr. Ball the company ad- vanced rapidly in the insurance world, and for sev- eral years held the distinction of being the largest life assessment company in the country. Mr. Ball's reputation for honesty, integrity and determination of purpose, and his advanced ideas of life under- writing, were recognized throughout the country. The company soon outgrew its quarters in the brown stone building in the rear of No. 230 Asylum street. and several additions were erected, but the business of the concern so increased that the present impos- ing structure was erected in 1896. After resigning his position with the company, in April, of the fol- lowing year, Mr. Ball was unanimously elected pres- ident of the National Life Association. He found this concern in a not over prosperous condition, and worked incessantly to build it up and put it on a firm basis, but in spite of his efforts the company was forced to wind up its affairs.

Mr. Ball's interest in military affairs never waned, and he was one of the committee on the State monument which was dedicated at Winchester, Va., Oct. 19, 1896. Past Department Commander Will- iam Berry, of this city, who died here a number of years ago, was an officer with Mr. Ball, and the com-

pany was under the command of Capt. John W. De- Forest, the novelist. His associate officers in the regiment, now living. include Gen. L. A. Dickin- son, of the Ætna Insurance Co .; Capt. James E. Smith, of the Hartford Fire ; and Ex-Mayor Hen- drick, of New Haven. Mr. Ball was a member of Robert O. Tyler Post, G. A. R., and belonged to the Loyal Legion in Boston. He was widely known throughout the State on account of his Masonic associations. He was a member and past master of Lafayette Lodge, No. 100, A. F. & A. M., and was one of the past eminent commanders of Washington Commandery, No. 1, Knights Templar; was also a thirty-second degree Mason, and was identified with Pyramid Shrine, of Bridgeport, and later with Sphinx Shrine of this city. His funeral services, held at St. James' Church, Hartford, were conducted by eight past commanders of Washington Com- mandery, No. I, K. T., assisted by the rector, Rev. J T. Huntington.

On Oct. 26, 1861, Mr. Ball married Miss Ellen V. Bradley ( daughter of Charles and Delia Stedman Bradley), of Southington, who, with one son, Fred- erick W. Ball, born Aug. 26, 1867, at Southington, survives him. Mrs. Ball is the half-sister of Walter A. Cowles, who was formerly the assistant secre- tary of the Hartford Life & Annuity Co., and of Mrs. Julia A. Parmalec, Mrs. R. Calvin Mix and Miss Fanny Maud Cowles, of this city. William H. Cowles and Charles B. Cowles, of Plantsville, are also half brothers of Mrs. Ball.

Mr. Ball had a summer residence in Plantsville, and spent some time there each year, on the Cowles homestead, which he owned and improved at con- siderable expense. He enjoyed the country thor- oughly, and was a great admirer of its scenes and in- terests, being a great lover of nature, and it could be truly said of him that he was of that class who find "tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything."

The personal life of Mr. Ball was deserving of the greatest emulation, as his kindness of heart and depth of sympathy made him the friend of thousands.

JOSHUA NEWELL OVIATT, who is now practically living a retired life in West Hartford, was for many years prominently identified with the newspaper interests of this section of the country. He was born in Washington, Litchfield Co., Conn., Oct. 27. 1832, a son of John and Caroline ( Mason) Oviatt, lifelong residents of that county, where the father followed the occupation of farming, and died at the age of ninety-two years. Our subject's ma- ternal grandfather, Elisha Mason, of Revolutionary fame. lived to be one hundred years old. The Mason family was one of the oldest in Litchfield county. John Oviatt was instrumental in founding the town of Morris, and was a deacon in the Con- gregational Church at that place for many years. He also represented the town in the State Legis-

lature, and served as selectman with credit to him- self and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. In politics he was a Whig. He had four children : Elizabeth, who married R. G. Reynolds, who died in Boston, Mass .; Mrs. Harriet Clark, of Medina, Ohio; Joshua N., our subject; and Mrs. Fannie De Wolf, of Marion, Indiana.

Joshua N. Oviatt was reared and educated in Morris, Conn. His identification with the "art pre- servative of all the arts" dates back to the time when, at the age of fifteen years, he entered the office of the Waterbury American. Subsequently he was connected with the Springfield Republican for nine years, and in 1865 established the New Britain Record, at that time the only paper pub- Ished in New Britain, Conn. He was editor and proprietor of that journal until 1882, when he sev- ered his connection with it on account of ill healtli, and removed to West Hartford, where he has since lived retired.

While a resident of Springfield, Mass., Mr. Oviatt was married, in 1862, to Miss Martha A. McNary, a daughter of Samuel McNary, of that city, and to them were born two children: Annie McNary, a stenographer in Hartford ; and Edward Mason. During the Spanish-American war the son enlisted in Company K, ist Conn. V. I. ; he is now in New York engaged in business. At the time of his enlistment he was employed in the office of the Hartford Post. Father and son are both mem- bers of Wyllys Lodge, No. 99, F. & A. M., and the former also belongs to Giddings Chapter, R. A. M., and to the Grange. He affiliates with the Repub- ilcan party, and is serving as grand juror of the town at the present time. He has been a deacon in the Congregational Church for many years, and in his daily walk has shown himself to be consistent with the belief which he professes, being generous and charitable in answering the appeals of the dis- tressed.

IRA MILES STANDISH (deceased), wlto during life was one of Wethersfield's most re- spected citizens and prominent agriculturists, was born on the old Standish homestead in Jordan Lane, Wethersfield, July 5, 1832, and was a son of James and Cynthia ( Wells) Standish. Ex- tended mention is made of the family elsewhere, in connection with the sketch of James Standish.

Our subject received a district-school education, and grew to manhood on the home farm, where he spent his entire life engaged in general farming, dairying and stock raising. After the death of his father he took charge of the place, upon which he made many useful and valuable improvements, and which he successfully operated until he, too, was called to his final rest. Ile was industrious, pains- taking and energetic, and generally carried forward to successful completion whatever he undertook.

In Wethersfield Mr. Standish was united in mar- riage with Miss Sarah Warner, a native of that

place, and a daughter of Levi Warner. (A full sketch of the Warner family may also be found elsewhere). She was an earnest Christian, a mem- ber of the Episcopal Church, a good wife and loving mother. She died July 6, 1891, her husband on Dec. 30, 1895, and the remains of both were in- terred in the Cedar Hill cemetery. He was liberal in his religious views, and domestic in his tastes. Politically he always supported the Democratic party, but he never cared for the honors or emolu- ments of public office. His well-spent life com- mended him to the confidence of all with whom he came in contact, and gained for him the respect and good-will of the entire community.

To Mr. and Mrs. Standish were born five chil- dren: (I) Annie Isabelle died when fourteen years of age. (2) Alice Louise married Stephen Lockwood, a house carpenter, who died in 1894. leaving one child, Ethel Rose, a bright girl, who is now attending the Wethersfield high school. (3) Mary Seymour was a school teacher prior to her marriage to Charles A. Parker, a barber of Weth- ersfield. (4) Bertha May, a lady of refinement and good business ability, resides on the old homestead. On Nov. 14, 1899, she married John F. McIntosh, who is engaged on the Hartford Post. She is a member of the Wethersfield Grange. (5) Sarah Rosalia is the wife of Leon C. Leach, of Elling- ton, Conn., and they have two children: Leon Standish and Arline Rose.

SPENCER LEE FLOWER. When after years of long and earnest labor in some honorable field of business a man puts aside all cares to spend his re- maining years in the enjoyment of the fruits of his former toil, it is certainly a well-deserved reward of his former industry.
