John P. Griswold was born Aug. 25, 1869, at the old homestead near his present residence, and his education was begun in the schools of District No. 7, of Windsor town. Later he studied for one term at a grammar school in Poquonock, and three terms at Windsor Academy, his bright and active mind enabling him to take full advantage of these opportunities. On the death of his father he was appointed guardian of his younger brothers, and took charge of the farm, a fine estate of 154 acres, the business being conducted under the firm name of Griswold Bros. In 1897 Allen M., having at- tained his majority, had his share set off, but the others have kept their shares together. Our sub- ject is a scientific farmer, his progressive manage- ment seeming to secure good results under almost any circumstances, and he is justly regarded as one of the substantial citizens of his locality. Politic-

ally he is independent, but previous to 1896, when he voted for Mckinley, he gave his support to the Democratic party in National issues. In local elec- tions he selects the "best man," and while he is not an office seeker he does not shirk his duties as a citizen, and for some time served acceptably as treasurer of School District No. 7.

In 1897 Mr. Griswold married Miss Mary J. Brown, of Hartford, daughter of George T. and Augusta (Fox) Brown, well-known citizens of that place.

SETH VINTON. In every community there are a few men in whom the people have trust. These individuals are named by men of property as the executors of their wills; they are selected by heirs or courts to administer estates, and for positions requiring business capacity and fidelity of trust these exceptional men are usually selected. To say that Seth Vinton has often been called upon to assume fiduciary relations with his fellow men, to assume for minors. legatees and other bene- ficiaries the management of their property, is to strike the keynote to his character. There is the ring of the true metal. He has passed the third quarter of a century and is hale and hearty ; has lived all this time in the town of South Windsor, and has established a character that stands out mas- sive and clear in the annals of the town.

Mr. Vinton was born July 7, 1824, on a farm in what is now the south part of Wapping, where his father, William Vinton, settled about 1808. When the Vintons came to this property it was the south section of East Windsor. Two wood-cutters, named Hitchcock and Mckinney, had cleared off the tim- ber, and the tract became the Vinton homestead. John Vinton, who settled at Lynn, Mass., prior to 1643, was the founder of the American family. The descent to our subject is as follows: (1) John, of Lynn; (2) John, of Woburn; (3) Samuel; (4) David; (5) Seth; (6) William; and (7) Seth, our subject. William Vinton, the father, came to South Windsor from the town of Willington. He mar- ried, April 11, 1822, Miss Esther Crandall, a na- tive of Tolland. He was a prominent member of the Third Congregational Church in East Windsor, now the Congregational Church at Wapping, and served as deacon. He died in 1847, leaving eight children, as follows: William; Seth; Chelsea Crandall; Samuel ; Esther E., Mrs. Little ; Clarissa, Mrs. Wil- son ; Mary C., Mrs. Page; and John Randolph.

Seth Vinton received his education at the Sev- enth District school, and in his youth assisted in the work of the farm. Agriculture was then quite differently conducted from present methods. The principal crops were rye, corn, oats, buckwheat and potatoes, and stock was raised extensively. William Vinton raised a crop of twenty acres of rye, reap- ing it with a sickle. Neighboring farmers in win- ter conducted a small bootmaking shop at Wapping. A brick yard or two flourished in the neighborhood. Tobacco raising became general about 1852. Prior to that year few farmers raised over two acres in

one season. But the industry grew rapidly, and when the Civil war opened it had become one of the heaviest in the town. From 1862 to 1865 the acreage doubled.

Our subject was intimately connected with these shifting developments. He had as a boy assisted his father on the farm, and when his father died the boys assumed the management of the farm, but Seth soon took the principal charge, gradually purchased the interests of the other heirs, and has ever since occupied and cultivated the home place. Under his careful management it has been brought to a high degree of efficiency, and now includes more than eighty acres, thirty-three of which are devoted to pasturage. Mr. Vinton still devotes considerable attention to general farming, and raises several acres of tobacco cach year.

The public service of our subject has been long and honorable. He was the first voter "made" in the town of South Windsor after it was set off from East Windsor in 1845 .. Since the formation of the Republican party he has been a stanch adherent of its principles. During the Civil war he was chair- man of the Republican town committee. He was also one of the town committee for raising volun- teers, and three of his brothers, Chelsea C., Sam- uel and John Randolph, were volunteers. In 1860 and 1861 he served as constable; from 1860 to 1862 and again in 1875 he was chosen collector ; in 1865 he was elected to represent his town in the State Legislature ; from 1858 to 1894 he served continu- ously as justice of the peace.

In school work Mr. Vinton has always been deeply interested. For over forty-five years, or ever since the establishment of the Sixth School District, in 1853, he has been its clerk and treas- urer. For many years he has been chairman of the district committee. When the Wapping high school was built he served as chairman of the building committee. For three years he was chairman of the high school committee, and for the past four years he was chairman of the school board of South Windsor.

Mr. Vinton has also been active in church work. At the age of twenty-three he became a member of the Second Ecclesiastical Society, and has ever since been prominent in its history. For six years he was the society's collector, and he has repeatedly served on its committees. In the Sunday-school he was for many years librarian.

In 1866 Mr. Vinton married Miss Ann Risley, who lived on an adjoining farm, and who is a ·lineal descendant of Elder Brewster, of the "May- flower." To our subject and wife have come four children: Esther M., who was born Jan. 27, 1867, married Clinton Williams, of Manchester, in 1895, and has one son, Frank V., born Feb. 21, 1897 ; John Randolph, born Dec. 26, 1868; Mary Brewster, born March 25, 1871 ; and Annie Louise, born Feb. 10, 1874. Mr. Vinton has always been a great reader, and is the possessor of one of the finest libraries in the town of South Windsor. This in-

cludes over 200 choice volumes, and is especially rich in authoritative works upon American his- tory, a study in which Mr. Vinton is profoundly interested and thoroughly versed. He has won an enviable success in life's battle, and ranks as one of the most highly esteemed citizens of South Windsor.

WOLLENBERG BROTHERS is the name of a well-known hrm of Farmington, composed of Gustav A. W. and Paul F. W. Wollenberg, dealers in flour, feed and grain. They are wide-awake, energetic business men, of known reliability. and are meeting with well-deserved success in their un- dertakings. Natives of Pomerania, Prussia, Ger- many, the former was born Dec. 30, 1856, the latter on June 21, 1861, and in that country the elder was educated. In 1871 they accompanied their parents, Christopher Wilhelm and Caroline ( Hageman) Wollenberg, on their emigration to America, and located first in Ft. Lee, N. J., where the father en- gaged in flower gardening for a time. Since 1875, however, he has made his home in Farmington, Hartford Co., Conn., and followed general farm- ing for a time: In 1895 he retired froin business. In his family were six children, namely: Gustav A .; Paul F. W .; Olga A., now the wife of Louis Horn, of Philadelphia, Penn .; Ida A .; Linda A .; and Elizabeth, who died in infancy.

During the residence of the family in Ft. Lee, N. J., Paul F. Wollenberg attended school, and he has acquired a good education in the public and private schools of this country. He is active in church work, being superintendent of the Farm- ington Congregational Sunday-school and presi- dent of the Plainville Sunday-school Union. As manager, he had charge of a creamery in Wake- field, R. I., for five years, having served an ap- prenticeship of two and one-half years in that busi- ness in Farmington, and later returned to the crean- ery for four years and a half. On Feb. 5, 1895, he and his brother, Gustav A., bought the mill at Farmington belonging to J. E. and Edmund Cowles, and he has since devoted his entire time and at- tention to the milling business, while his brother carries on market gardening with good success. At Peacedale, R. I., Sept. 14, 1897, Paul F. W. Wollenberg married Miss Edith M. Fison, a na- tive of England, and they have one son, Christopher Herbert, born May 7, 1899.

HENRY ALONZO CASE has, with the ex- ception of a brief period of four years, been identi- fied with the interests of Hartford county through- out life, and has made for himself an honorable rec- ord well worthy of perpetuation. Years of quiet usefulness and a life in which the old-fashioned vir- tues of sincerity, industry and integrity are ex- emplified have a simple beauty that no words call portray. Youth has its charms, but an honorable and honored old age, to which the lengthening years have added dignity and sweetness, has a brighter

radiance, as if some ray from the life beyond al- ready rested upon it.

The Case family is one of the oldest in New England, and was founded here by John Case (I), a native of England, whence he came to America, making his New World home first in the town of Windsor, Hartford Co., Conn., whence, in 1669, he removed to the town of Simsbury, settling at Weatogue, where he engaged in farming and stock raising the rest of his days. He died there Feb. 21, 1703-4. He married Sarah Spencer, who was born in 1636, a daughter of William Spencer, and died March 3, 1691. The children born to John Case (I) and his wife, Sarah, were as follows, their names and dates of birth being given: Eliza- beth, 1658; Mary, June 22, 1660; John, Nov. 5, 1662; William, June 5, 1665 ; Samuel, June 1, 1667 ; Richard, April 27, 1669; Bartholomew, October, 1670; Joseph, April 6, 1671 ; Sarah, Aug. 14, 1676; and Abigail, May 14, 1862. The mother of these dying, Mr. Case for his second wife married Mrs. Elizabeth Loomis, daughter of John Moore and widow of Nathaniel Loomis. She died without issue July 23, 1728, aged ninety years. Of the above family,

William Case was born at Windsor, Conn., and came to Simsbury with his parents. In 1685 he married Elizabeth Holcomb, daughter of Joshua Holcomb, who was a son of Thomas Holcomb, the emigrant, who settled in Windsor. Seven chil- dren came to this union, as follows: Elizabeth, born September, 1687; William, March 22, 1690; James, March 12, 1692; Rachel, Dec. 10, 1694; Mary, Aug. 23, 1696; Joshua, June 1, 1698; and Mindwell, March 21, 1700. Of these,

James 'Case was born in Simsbury, and was a lifelong farmer, dying in 1759; his remains were interred in Simsbury cemetery. He married Esther Fithen, of Simsbury, a native of Jersey, one of the Channel Isles, and the names and dates of birth of their children are as follows: James, March 5, 1716; Josiah, April 1, 1718; Esther, March 14, 1720; Rachel, Aug. 14, 1722; and Amasa, Oct. 18, 1731. Of these,

Amasa Case, great-grandfather of Henry A. Case, was born at Weatogue, town of Simsbury. He was married five times, his hrst wife being Elizabeth Hoskins, by whom he had children as follows : Amasa, born Oct. 29, 1753, married Mercy Hillyer ; Aaron, born June 16, 1755, was the grand- father of our subject ; Elizabeth, born Aug. 5. 1756, married Roger Wilcox; Stephen was born Oct. 6, 1758; Mercy, born Jan. 2, 1760, married (first) Gideon Case, and (second) Daniel Bacon; Mehit- abel, born March 8, 1762, married Abram Pinney ; Apollos, born Aug. 1, 1768, married Polly Frazer ; Ruth was born Sept. 30, 1770; Julius, born Feb. 20, 1773, died May 17, 1777 ; and Enoch, born May IO, 1774, died July, 1797. The other wives of Amasa Case were. respectively, Mrs. John Viets, Mrs. Griswold, Mrs. Cornish and Mrs. Graham, by whom he had no children.

Aaron Case, the grandfather of our subject, was born in the town of Simsbury, and received but a limited education. He followed farming, and was a large land owner in what is now the town of North Bloomfield, where he spent his entire life. He was prominent in political and church affairs, being a stanch supporter of Jeffersonian principles in his later days, and an adherent of the Episcopal Church. He served as warden and vestryman in St. Andrew's Church, North Bloomfield, and was widely and favorably known in the community. He died in 1811, and was buried in Scotland cem- etery, North Bloomfield town. His wife, who bore the maiden name of Margaret Meacham, was born in 1763, and died in 1835, being laid to rest by his side in Scotland cemetery. To them were born seven children: Margaret Lodemia, wife of Ebenezer Sheppard ; Lydia, wife of William Moore; Newton, who married Laura Roberts; Betsey, wife of Aurora Case; Aura, wife of William Griswold ; Sophia, wife of Johnson Brace; and Zelah, father of our subject.

Zelah Case was born on the old homestead in North Bloomfield town Oct. 22, 1799, and received a good practical education in the schools of the neighborhood. He became the owner of over 500 acres of land in that section, and in connection with general farming engaged in the culture of tobacco and in stock raising. He was an enterprising and successful business man, and one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of the town, where his entire life was passed. In political senti- ment he was a stanch Democrat, but being quite domestic in his tastes he cared nothing for the honors or emoluments of public office. On March 13, 1823, he married Miss Jennette C. Benton, who was born Oct. 31, 1802, a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Bunce) Benton, and the children born of this union were as follows: Mary Jennette, born Feb. 23, 1824, became the wife of Edward P. Thompson, of East Granby, and died Jan. 1. 1899; Henry A., the subject of this sketch, is next in the order of birth; Edward Benton, born Feb. 9, 1828, is a resident of Hartford; Kate H., born June 19, 1830, was married, Aug. 29, 1852, to George T. Aitchison ; Charles Z., born Jan. 20, 1833, is a salesman and auctioneer, living in Hartford: Jennie S., born Jan. 0, 1836, was married, Nov. 24, 1859, to Frederick Allen, and died April 14, 1899; Wat- son G., born July 17, 1838, died Oct. 11, 1857 ; Hat- tie S., born May 1, 1841, was married, Nov. 17, 1864, to Walter C. Goodwin, who died Oct. 30, 1899; Margaret, born Sept. 1, 1843, was married, Oct. 6, 1870, to William W. Bartholomew. The father died on his farm April 14, 1872, the mother on March 8, 1891, at the ripe old age of eighty- eight years and four months, and both were laid to rest in Scotland cemetery. They were consistent Christian people, holding membership in the Episco- pal Church, and they reared a family in which they took a just pride.

Henry A: Case, whose name introduces this re-

view, was born on the old homestead in North Bloomfield town Dec. 1, 1825, and there spent his boyhood days, working on the farm during the sum- mer season and attending the local schools during the winter months. As the teachers in those days were not always well qualified for their labors his opportunities for acquiring a good education were not of the best, but being a close student and pos- sessing a retentive memory, he made the most of his advantages. He can relate many interesting in- cidents that happened seventy years ago, and has an excellent memory for dates. On attaining his majority he left home and started out to make his own way in the world, working the first year as a farm hand. In 1849 he commenced learning the miller's trade in the Ellsworth mill at Spoonville, where he remained two years, and in 1851 went to New York City, where he obtained employment as head miller at the Sanderson Mills, corner of Twen- ty-ninth street and Eleventh avenue. Four years were thus passed, and the following year he was employed in the same capacity by the firm of Seeley & Close, after which he rented a mill at Nos. 221- 223 West Twenty-sixth street. He put in a port- able engine, and operated it for seven months as a flour and feed mill, grinding feed principally for the New York Consolidated Stage Co. Returning to Connecticut in the spring of 1855, Mr. Case lo- cated in East Granby town, Hartford county, and purchased the mill at Spoonville, together with 115 acres of land. For twenty-seven years he devoted his time and attention to grinding flour and feed. He also added a sawmill to his plant and engaged in the manufacture of lumber, and in the mean- time operated his farm, on which he made extensive and valuable improvements, including the erection of a fine residence, good barns, tobacco sheds, etc. He sold his gristmill in 1882, but still retains the sawmill, which is now carried on by his son, who also operates the farm. Mr. Case was one of the first to grow tobacco to any extent in Spoonville, and in most of his business enterprises he met with well-merited success, becoming quite well-to-do.

In East Granby town Mr. Case was married, in 1859, to Miss Almira Antoinette Holcomb, a na- tive of the town of Simsbury, and a daughter of Amasa and Almira Antoinette (Rice) Holcomb. She died Oct. 13, 1871, and was laid to rest in Scotland cemetery. She was a good Christian woman, a member of the Episcopal Church, and an affectionate wife and mother. Four children were born of that union: Harry W. is mentioned below ; Hattie May, born April 10, 1863, is now the wife of Arthur S. Campbell, of New York City; Nor- wood Thompson, born Jan. 30, 1866, is a stock dealer ; and Antoinette Margaret, born June 4, 1868, is at home. The children were all well-educated, and the younger daughter is a young lady of cul- ture and refinement, who takes a deep interest in lit- erature and art. Mr. Case was again married, Ang. 20, 1872, his second union being with Miss Laura S. Hopkins, a native of Rensselaer county, N. Y., and a daughter of Alexander Hopkins.

On the evening of Dec. 10, 1890, Mr. Case retired seemingly in his usual health, with his faculties unimpaired, but on awakening next morning found that he had been deprived of his sight, the optic nerve being decayed. With the hope of recovering his sight, he spent thousands of dollars, and visited the leading specialists in Hartford, New York and Boston, but all to no avail. He bears his misfortune with Christian fortitude, however, is very cheerful, and of a genial, social disposition. He is a good conversationalist and entertaining companion, and in his wife has found a faithful helpmeet-one will- ing to share all of his misfortunes and trials. He is noted for his upright character and honesty of pur- pose, and his friends are many throughout the county. Politically he is a stanch Democrat, and in early life took quite an active and prominent part in local politics. In 1869 he was elected to represent East Granby town in the State Legislature, which he did in a most able and satisfactory manner. He has been a lifelong member of St. Andrew's Episco- pal Church, and for several years served as vestry- man.

HARRY W. CASE, the eldest son of our subject, was born in East Granby town, Jan. 6, 1861, attend- ed the public schools of the locality, and completed his education in the Hartford grammar school. He has spent his entire life upon the home farm, and under the able direction of his father early became a thorough farmer and miller, and a successful busi- ness man. He now has charge of the farm and sawmill, and is making a specialty of tobacco rais- ing. He is much devoted to his father, as are also the other children. He was married, May 3, 1893, to Miss Annie M. Whitehead, who was born Jan. 6, 1875, in Simsbury, a daughter of Samuel White- head. Two children bless this union: Marie An- toinette, born Feb. 27, 1894; and Harry White- head, born Sept. 3, 1898. Harry W. Case is also a stalwart supporter of the Democracy, and a mem- ber of the Episcopal Church, in which he is now serving as junior warden. He has served as second selectman in the town of East Granby, one term, and takes an active interest in public affairs.

GEORGE H. MINER. Few citizens of the United States can trace their ancestry through six centuries, and the genealogy of the subject of this sketch, a prominent resident of Hazardville, is of more than usual interest.

Mr. Miner is of the eighteenth generation in direct descent from Sir Henry Miner, of Somer- setshire, England, who died in 1359, leaving four sons, Henry, Edward, Thomas and George. There are two accounts preserved as to the knighting of this ancestor, whose name was originally Henry Bullman, and at this late day it is impossible to make definite choice between them. According to one, he resided at Mendippe Colles Minerarij, Men- dippe Hills, in the County of Somerset, and would appear to have been a man of wealth and influence, for when King Edward III passed through the place in 1346, on his way to make war against the

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

French, Henry Bullman proffered his services, with those of a hundred domestics and other menials, all armed with battle-axes. In recognition of his loy- alty and valor the King knighted him, conferring upon him a coat of arms, and changed his name to Miner. The other tradition is to the effect that some silver mines of the King had been mismanaged by the different officials placed in charge, and he had been defrauded of large revenues. Henry Bullman proved faithful and successful in their management, and as a reward was given the name of "Miner" and a coat of arms. The shield of the coat of arms was "armorial gules," or according to another state- ment it had "perpendicular gules (or red lines), and a fesse between three plates argent." The crest was a Knight's helmet and a hand grasping a battle- axe, the battle-axe at one end, and a javelin at the other. The coat of arms is said to have been con- ferred in 1339, which was seven years previous to the war with the French, and hence does not agree with the statement that it was conferred because of valor displayed in that war.

(II) Henry Miner, son of Henry (Bullman) Miner, married Henreta Hicks, and had two sons, William and Henry. His wife was the daugh- ter of Edward Hicks, of Gloucester, from whom, as appears by the paling of their arms, have descended the Hicks of Beverston Castle. Henry, the sec- ond son, served in the army of King Richard II, in 1 384.

(III) William Miner, the next in line of de- scent, married a Miss Hobbs, of Wiltshire, and had two sons, Thomas and George.

(IV) Thomas Miner, son of William, married a Miss Gressleys, daughter of Cotton Gressleys, of the County of Stafford, and his children were Lod- ovick, George and Mary.

(V) Lodovick Miner, son of Thomas, married Anna, daughter of Thomas Dyer, of Staughton, in the County of Huntingdon, England. He had three sons, Thomas, born in 1436; and (twenty-two years later) George and Arthur (twins), both of whom served the house of Austria.

(VI) Thomas Miner, son of Lodovick and Anna (Dyer) Miner, married Bridget, daughter of Sir George Hervie de St. Martin, of the County of Middlesex. He died in 1480, leaving two chil- dren, William and Anna.

(VII) William, son of Thomas and Bridget Miner, married Isabella Harcope de Frolibay. He swore to avenge the death of the two young Princes, murdered in the tower of London. At his death he left ten sons.

(VIII) William Miner, eldest son of William and Isabella ( Harcope de Frolibay) Miner, had two children, Clement and Elizabeth. He died Feb. 23, 1585, and is buried in the church at Chew- Magna, in the Priest's Chancell, about four feet from the wall. The coat of arms is engraved on the stone. By the records and registers of the church it is evident that his name was William Myner, and they agree with the stone as to date and

place, and he must have been the head of the fan- ily, as appears by the coat of arms.

(IX) Clement, son of William Miner, suc- ceeded to his father's estate. He married and had four children. His death occurred March 31, 1640, and he is buried at Chew-Magna, in the County of Somerset.

(X) Thomas Miner, second son of Clement Miner, was born April 23, 1608, at Chew-Magna, County of Somerset, England, and died Oct. 23, 1690, at Quiambogue, in the town of Stonington, Conn., being the first of the family to come to Amer- ica. His wife, Grace, daughter of Walter Palmer, was born in 1608, and they were married April 20, 1633. He was called lieutenant, and it is said that he held a commission as such in the Eng- lish army; that he came to America in 1630, re- turned to England the following year, sold his com- mission, and came again to America in the year 1633. Another account says that he came to Amer- ica with Governor Winthrop and his family in the ship "Arabella," arriving at Salem, Mass., June 14, 1630, and with Governor Winthrop settled in Charlestown, Mass. He is said to have removed to Hingham, Mass., in 1635, and to New London, Conn., in 1645. At New London he was given a lot on which he built a house the same year; his seventh son, Manassah, was the first male child born in New London town. In 1652 or '53, he took up a tract of land east of Weguetequock Cove, three miles from Mystic, and built a house. His father- in-law purchased of Governor Haynes, of Connecti- cut, three hundred acres of land in the Colony of New London, which had been granted to Governor Haynes for a farm. This tract included the land on which the house of Thomas Miner stood, and Palmer agreed to give Miner one hundred pounds value, in such cattle as Governor Haynes might se- lect from Palmer's herd, to satisfy him for his claim. The contract is dated July 15, 1653, and in it Miner reserved the right to occupy his house until he should build another at Mistuxet, now called Quiambogue, in the town of Stonington, Conn. This house was built in 1653, and here he lived until his death in 1690. It is said that he held every office in the gift of his townsmen, serving for some time as deputy magistrate, selectman, chief military of- ficer, and he was town clerk for a number of years. This Thomas Miner had twelve children, and is the progenitor of nearly all the Miners in America. (XI) Clement Miner, fourth child and fourth son of Thomas and Grace ( Palmer) Miner, was born in Hingham, Mass., probably in 1638, and liis death occurred in 1700. He married the widow Frances Willey on Nov. 26, 1662, and had six chil- dren.
