(VI) Willard Sears, the father of our subject, and the next in direct descent, was born Sept. 8, 1760, and died Aug. 23, 1838. He was a lifelong resident of Chatham, Conn., where he followed the cooper's trade, and was also a soldier in the Revo- lutionary war; and fifty years after the close of that struggle he drew a pension of about twenty-three dollars and sixty cents per annum. On Nov. 23, 1785, he married Rhoda Bailey, who was born in

March, 1766, and died Feb. 17, 1794. To that union three children were born. Willard Sears was again married, May 22, 1796, his second union be- ing with Mrs. Betsey (Clark) Strong, who died Jan. 9, 1831. To them were born seven children, of whom our subject is the youngest. Elijah C., another son, was born June 23, 1805, and is still living, making his home in South Dakota.

( VII) Seldon P. Sears was reared and educated in Chatham, and as soon as old enough began to assist in the labor of the home farm. He started out in business for himself by working in the quar- ries, before he had attained his majority, continuing his residence in Chatham until 1855, when he came to Elmwood, West Hartford, and there made his home until his death, being engaged in general farming and the culture of strawberries. During his latter years he lived retired. Mr. Sears was a consistent and faithful member of the Congrega- tional Church, and was highly respected by all who knew him. In Marlboro, Hartford county, Nov. 29, 1843, he was united in marriage with Miss Eve- line Dickinson, who was born May 6, 1812, and they became the parents of four children: Prescott A. and Newman E. are both mentioned below ; Alida A., born June 2, 1852, died Feb. 2, 1877 ; and David Edward, born May 23, 1854, died Feb. 23, 1879. Mr. and Mrs. Sears had a happy wedded life of over fifty-six years. She is still living at this writing ( 1900). On May 22, 1899, Mr. Sears joined the Sons of the American Revolution as an original SO11.

(VIII) PRESCOTT ARNOLD SEARS was born at Chatham Oct. 16, 1846, and was educated in the schools near his home there and at Elmwood. In early life he was engaged in farming and the milk business, but for the past fifteen years he has de- voted his attention principally to market gardening in West Hartford, and due success has not been denied him. He, too, is a member of the Con- gregational Church, and commands the confidence and esteem of all with whom he comes in contact, in either business or social life. On March 12, 1878, he was married, in South Hadley Falls, Mass., to Miss Julia, daughter of Nathan and Julia A. (Barrett) Roberts, and to them have been born three children : Charles Edward, who died in childhood ; Sarah, born June 2, 1886; and Clara, born May 18, I889.

(VIII) NEWMAN ELIADA SEARS was born in Chatham Sept. 16, 1848, and during his boyhood pursued his studies in the schools of West Hartford. Since attaining man's estate he has been interested in stock breeding and the poultry business. He, too, holds membership in the Congregational Church of West Hartford. On Oct. 21, 1884, he was united in marriage with Miss Florence Smith, a daughter of Henry and Helen ( Niles) Smith, of East Hamp- ton, Conn., and by this union five children have been born, their names and dates of birth being as follows: Helen Alida, Sept. 12, 1886; Selden

Philo, May 10, 1888; Dan Niles, July 18, 1891; Charlotte Strong, May 4, 1893; and Ruth Willard, July 31, 1894. Dan Niles died at birth, but the others are still living.

GEORGE FRANKLIN WOODFORD, a prom- inent dairyman of Bloomfield, senior member of the firm of Woodford Bros., was born in the dwelling which is still his home, Sept. 8, 1862. His grand- father, Jeremiah Woodford, was a native of the town of Avon, Hartford county, and married in Bloomfield, Miss Hannah Latimer, daughter of Capt. George and Hannah (Loomis) Latimer, the former of Bloomfield, and the latter of Windsor, Conn. The children born to this marriage were Jeremiah, Hannah, George, Harriet and Lester, all now deceased.

Lester Woodford, the youngest son of Jeremiah and Hannah (Latimer) Woodford, was born on the homestead in Bloomfield Sept. 22, 1821, in the house erected by his father in 1820. He was edu- cated in the Old Farm school where his mother, before her marriage, had been the first teacher. In Westminister, Vt., he married Miss Clarissa A. Peck, daughter of Shubael Peck. Miss Peck had been a teacher in the West Hartford (Conn.) schools, and was well qualified for the profession. To this marriage were born five children: Mary Josephine ; Harriet E., who married R. W. Barrett, of Hartford, and became the mother of four chil- dren, Marion L., Fred W., Edward L. and Robert E .; George L., deceased; George F .; and Sidney J. The father of this family continued to farm in the town of Bloomfield until he died, March 21, 1887; his wife survived until Jan. 11, 1897.

George F. Woodford spent his school days in Bloomfield, and also attended a business college at Hartford. He is extensively engaged in dairying, selling cream to the Windsor creamery and milk to peddlers.

To the marriage of Mr. Woodford, March 26, 1890, with Miss Helen A. Wilcox, daughter of John Wilcox, have been born five children: Lois Wil- cox, Edna Almeda, Harriet Jennette, Ruth Wright, and an infant son. Mr. Woodford is a member of Hiram Ladge, No. 98, F. & A. M., and also of the Grange at Bloomfield. A Republican in politics, he in 1897 and 1898 served as selectman of the town, filled the office of justice of the peace four years, and is at present town collector. He is a member of the Congregational Church.

JOIIN WILCOX, of Bloomfield, Conn., was born Aug. 24, 1825, in that town when it was included in the town of Simsbury. His great-grandfather, Eli Wilcox, was born in East Granby, Conn., in 1744, and died in 1836, and Daniel Wilcox, his grandfather, lived for some time in East Granby, later in Hartland, and died in Bloomfield, also in 1836. Daniel Wilcox was twice married: (first) :o a Miss Phelps, of Granby, and ( second) to Mehitable Webster; he was a blacksmith by trade,

and made guns during the Revolutionary war. Eli Wilcox, son of Daniel, and father of John Wil- cox, married in January, 1809, Miss Lois Eno, daughter of Sergt. Reuben Eno (who served in the Revolutionary war), and to this union were born nine children : Jane C., Homer, Emily, Gad and Amanda, all deceased ; and Asher, Jeannette, Cyrus and John. In politics the father was a Democrat. He died in Bloomfield Sept. 20, 1862, aged eighty- six years; his wife, Lois Eno Wilcox, died Sept. 8, 1875, aged ninety-one.

John Wilcox was reared on his father's farm, and was educated in the public school of the Dun- caster District, also at the select school in Granby. He still resides on the old homestead, and for many years has been engaged in farming, in asso- ciation with his brother Asher. On March 22, 1857, he married Miss Susan M. Wright, daughter of Orimel B. Wright, of Westbrook, Conn., and to this union have been born four children : Helen A., wife of George F. Woodford ; Benjamin Wright ; John Asher, who married Miss Ellen Morton, at Redlands, Cal., Oct. 31, 1894; and Emily J.

Mr. Wilcox is a member of the Congregational Church. In politics he is a Democrat, and for thirty years has held a town office, and in 1864 was elected to the State Legislature. At present he is one of the selectmen of the town, and has always taken a deep interest in its prosperity. Mr. Wil- cox has been a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 98, F. & A. M., at Bloomfield, since 1866, and is one of the most respected residents of Bloomfield.

WILLIAM HUTTON, of the firm of Hutton Brothers, prominent merchant tailors, clothiers and dealers in gents' furnishing goods, Southington, was born in Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland, Oct. 3, 1852, a son of James and Ann ( McCowan ) Ilutton. The father, a joiner by trade, came to America in 1882, and located in Southington, Conn., on what is known as the Spring Lake property, where he died in the fall of 1893. His children were Peter, John, William, James, Duncan and David.

Our subject was reared in his native land, re- ccived a fair common-school education, and served a four-years' apprenticeship at the tailor's trade in Auchterarder and Perth. In 1872 he emigrated to America, and located in Hartford, Conn., where he worked at his trade until the spring of 1873, when he came to Southington, and in the fall of the same year embarked in business for himself, in which he has since continued, taking his brother Peter as a partner in 1879. Since then the busi- ness has been conducted under the firm name of

Hutton Brothers. They carry a high class of goods, and have built up an excellent trade.

On Aug. 12, 1875, Mr. Hutton was united in marriage with Miss Isabella M. Cowans, a daugh- ter of William and Isabella ( Moncrieff ) Cowans, of Perth, Scotland, and two children have been born to them: Esthel Irene, born April 19, 1882, died Jan. 15, 1896; Ruby Isabella was born Nov. 25, 1886. Mr. Hutton is an active member of the First Baptist Church of Southington, of which he is a trustee, and is also treasurer of the Sabbath- school. He is a prominent member of the Masonic Fraternity, belonging to Friendship Lodge, No. 33, F. & A. M .; Triune Chapter, No. 40, R. A. M .; and St. Elmo Commandery, No. 9, K. T.,of Meriden ; and is also a member of Eureka Lodge, No. 75, I. O. O. F. His political support is always given to the men and measures of the Republican party. Mr. Hutton is now vice-president of the Oak Hill Cemetery Association, a member of the school board and served two years as a member of the board of burgesses of Southington.

PETER HUTTON, of the firm of Hutton Brothers, was also born in Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland, Dec. 31, 1847. Both his paternal and maternal grandfathers were named Peter. In his native town he grew to manhood, and in 1870 crossed the broad Atlantic, first locating in Colchester, Delaware Co., N. Y., where he spent five years. In January, 1876, he came to Southington, and was employed in the clothing store of his brother William until 1879, when he was taken into the business as a partner. He was married, Sept. 19, 1879, to Miss Christiana Lindsay, daughter of Thomas Lindsay, of Dela- ware county, N. Y., and to them have been born five children: Lindsay, Bessie, Hazel, Leslie and Douglass. Peter Hutton is also a prominent mem- ber of the First Baptist Church of Southington, of which he is now a deacon and trustee, and in poli- tics is a Republican.

JAMES PALMER has had a career since com- ing to America which has been, in many respects, exceptional. An Irish immigrant, without either money or mechanical training, and working as an unskilled laborer for small wages, he has made for himself a competence by the mere force of his own industry and thrift, aided by sagacious foresight.

Mr. Palmer was born in 1827, in County Down, in the northern part of Ireland, and was raised upon a farm. He is one of six children born to Thomas Palmer and Ann Milligan, and worked as a farm laborer in the "old country" until he had reached his twenty-first year. In 1851 he embarked at Bel- fast, in a sailing-vessel for New York. The voy- age proved long and tempestuous. When about three weeks out of port the craft encountered violent storms, which carried away her mainmast and did other serious damage, in consequence of which it was forty-five days before she reached her destina- tion. From New York Mr. Palmer came to Man-

chester, Conn., and for a year worked upon a farm, at the scanty remuneration of fifty cents per day. At the expiration of that period he found em- ployment as driver with David D. Hubbard, of Glastonbury. The original agreement provided for a term of fourteen days only, but some idea may be formed of the mutual satisfaction between the contracting parties when it is told that their connection extended over twenty-one years. Early in the 'seventies Mr. Palmer returned to Manchester, where he has resided ever since. Through hard work, sobriety and economy, and by dint of sav- ing, joined to judicious investment, he is at present the owner of three houses there, besides his own handsome home. He has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Lizzie McOubery, by whom he became the father of three children: Lucy J., James T., and Mary A. His second union was with Miss Annie Moffett. There is no issue of the latter marriage. Mr. Palmer is an active and carnest member of the Second Congregational Church.

CHARLES LYMAN JENCKS, a member of the firm of Jencks Brothers, lumber dealers of East Hartford Meadow and Manchester, is probably as fair an example of the practical and successful busi- ness man as can be found in East Hartford Meadow, or, indeed, elsewhere. In his case, good sound sense, combined with unerring judgment, has pro- duced effects that no collegiate education could have brought about, as essential as the latter is deemed to be for the attainment of success in any of the multifarious vocations in life ; yet the education of Mr. Jencks was not altogether meager.

Charles L. Jencks was born in Agawam, Mass., Aug. 18, 1864, a son of John H. and Caroline (Ris- ley) Jencks, the latter a daughter of Lyman Risley, a biography of whom will be found elsewhere. He was a child when brought to East Hartford Meadow by his parents, attended the local schools, and then the Brown school in Hartford, from which he grad- uated with the class of 1879. He then became a bookkeeper for S. Marston & Co., lumber dealers of East Hartford Meadow, whose business at the death of Mr. Marston was continued by Lyman Risley, the surviving partner, and the maternal grandfather of Mr. Jencks. Under the new owner- ship Mr. Jencks became salesman, buyer and gen- eral manager. He had applied himself diligently from the beginning of his connection with the busi- ness, had mastered its every detail, and was quite well fitted for his new responsibilities. On April 2, 1888, Mr. Jencks and his brother, John L., became partners with their grandfather, under the firm name of Lyman Risley & Co., and this was the style until Jan. 1, 1894, when it was changed to Jencks Brothers.

The firm of Jencks Brothers is one of the push- ing, energetic, hustling business concerns of the town. They have introduced many new up-to-date

features and methods in its conduct, and although it is the oldest in its line in the town it is always ahead in its processes. Both of the brothers are keen and farsighted, keep well abreast of the wants of the trade, and more frequently in advance of them, always being prepared to meet any possible demand, and generally anticipating it. They not only supply the demands of the local trade, but draw from every direction, and their stock con- stantly on hand is so complete that it surpasses that of many of the large yards of larger cities. They are among the most prosperous business men of the town, and deserve to be, as none give closer at- tention to the details, or are more prompt in filling orders.

As their business increased the Jencks Brothers found it necessary to increase their facilities for meeting its demands, and in 1899 established a branch yard at Manchester, in order to relieve the pressure at the home office, and the combined busi- ness of the two yards exceeds that of any one firm in the same line in Hartford county. They have also recently purchased some manu- facturing land, and added to their business that of manufacturing lumber. The brothers are yet in the early prime of manhood, and their excellent busi- ness judgment furnishes abundant evidence of this fact. In addition to their lumber business the brothers' investments in real estate have been ex- tensive. They have erected houses on their prop- erty, which in some instances they have sold, and in others still hold, but altogether they have done much to build up and increase the prosperity of the village.

Charles L. Jencks first married Carrie G. Ris- ley, who bore him four children: Harold E., Her- bert L., Miriam E. and Lillian A. Later he married Mamie D. Mikklesen, who has borne him one child -Dorothy E. In politics Mr. Jencks is a Repub- lican, but beyond regularly casting his vote for his party's candidates he takes no further interest in politics than keep posted in his country's progress.

Charles L. Jencks has for years been an admirer of fine horses, a trait probably inherited from his grandfather Risley, by whom he was practically reared. He is a member of the Gentlemen's Driv- ing Club of Hartford, and as a means of recreation and of gratifying his admiration and tastes has devoted considerable of his spare time to the breed- ing and raising of the noble animal, and has had some of the best and speediest ever owned in the town. His well-equipped stable has a string of animals that would delight the eye of any horse- man, and among the speedy ones are "Bowgun," 2:141/2, "Mockingbird," 2:15'4, and "Handy Girl" -the latter probably the most renowned mare in Hartford county. Mr. Jencks is an expert driver, and at matinees at the Gentlemen's Driving Club has been adjudged to be the best amateur whip in East Hartford.

As citizens the Jencks Brothers are useful and

patriotic, and are ever ready to aid with their means and influence any project designed for the public good. As business men their name stands untar- nished.

LUTHER R. MATTHEWS, a trusted employe of Clark Bros. & Co., of Southington, was born in that town, Oct. 3, 1833, a son of Jesse and Huldah (Hitchcock) Matthews, both representatives of old and highly-respected Connecticut families.

His par- ents were Moses and Huldah Matthews, of South- ington, where the former died Oct. 23, 1806, the lat- ter March 3, 1790. Moses was a son of Thomas and Abiah (Parker) Matthews, of Wallingford, Conn. Our subject's father was born in Southing- ton, in 1803, and died July 8, 1860, while the mother was born March 26, 1800, and died Feb. 19, 1875. In their family were seven children: Luanna, wife of Julius Talmadge ; Elizabeth, wife of Moses Chan- dler ; John H .; Luther R .; Franklin L .; Mary J., wife of Norman Winchell; and Fanny, wife of Luther J. Smith.

Caleb Hitchcock, the maternal grandfather of our subject, who held the military rank of captain, was born May 17, 1760, and died March 10, 1828. On April 10, 1809, he married Julia Thorp, who died May 2, 1851, aged seventy-two years. His parents were Samuel and Tamar Hitchcock, the former born April 1, 1730, and died in Southington, May 8, 1798; the latter died Dec. 7, 1816, aged eighty years. Samuel was a son of Benjamin Hitchcock, who was born March 25. 1696, and was married Oct. 1, 1718, to Elizabethi, daughter of Joseph and Esther ( Benedict) Ives. He also held the military rank of captain, and made his home in Cheshire, where he died Feb. 12, 1767, his wife, Aug. 8, 1762, aged sixty-two years. His father, John Hitchcock, was married, Jan. 18, 1670, to Abi- gail Merriman, daughter of Nathaniel Merriman, of New Hampshire. About 1676 John Hitchcock removed from New Haven to Wallingford, where he died July 6, 1716. He was a son of Matthias Hitchcock, who was born in 1610, and in 1635 sailed on the ship "Susan and Ellen" for Boston. He was one of the first settlers of New Haven, and one of the proprietors who signed the civil compact June 4, 1639. He died in November, 1669, at the age of fifty-nine years.

Luthier R. Matthews, whose name introduces this review, was reared in Southington, and received a common-school education. At the age of cigliteen years he entered the bolt factory of Bristol & Morse, and was with them and other bolt manufacturers until the breaking out of the Civil war, when he

offered his services to his country, enlisting Sept. 17, 1861. He became a private in Company K, 8th Conn. V. I., in 1862 was made a corporal, and the following year, while in front of Petersburg, was promoted to the rank of sergeant. lle parti- cipated in nearly all the engagements in which his regiment took part, and at the battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862, was wounded and taken prisoner, but was re-captured a week later and again joined his regiment. He was honorably discharged from the service Sept. 17, 1864, and returned home. Since then he has been employed in the forging depart- ment of the bolt works of Clark Bros. & Co., at Milldale, Southington.

In July, 1857, Mr. Matthews was united in mar- riage with Miss Mary E. Van Horn, a daughter of Charles and Caroline (Consolloy) Van Horn, of Philadelphia, Penn., and to them have been born three children : Louie W .; Cora L., wife of Waldo Stillman; and Eldora L. Mr. Matthews is an honored member of Eureka Lodge, No. 75, 1. O. O. F .; Union Lodge, No. 17, Daughters of Rebekah ; William Berry Lodge, No. 25, K. P. ; and Trumbull Post, No. 16, G. A. R. Politically he is an ardent supporter of the Republican party, and is as true to his duties of citizenship in days of peace as in times of war, when he followed the old flag to vic- tory on many a Southern battlefield.

LEVI CASE. A long and useful life has won for this well known resident of Canton the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens, and has re- flected credit upon a family name which has been associated for generations with the best interests of this section.
