HON. SYLVESTER DAVID ROCKWELL, a prominent business man of Warehouse Point, is deservedly popular among his fellow townsmen, and has served on the board of selectmen longer than any other man in East Windsor town, being first selectman for fifteen years.

Mr. Rockwell comes of good New England stock, his ancestors having settled in Massachusetts at an early day. Jabez Rockwell, his grandfather, was born and reared in Massachusetts, where he learned the cooper's trade, and on coming to Hart- ford county, Conn., he located at Warehouse Point. He was a man of excellent standing in the commun- ity, and for many years was a leading member of the Episcopal Church.

Samuel W. Rockwell, our subject's father, was born in Warehouse Point Jan. 2, 1799, and died in 1857. As he grew to manhood he became an ex- pert cooper under his father's instruction. His es- timable wife, whose maiden name was Harriet Hitchcock, passed away April 23, 1883. They had a family of five children: (1) Harriet E., born March 29, 1822, married George Filley, and died Feb. 28, 1850. (2) Samuel A., born April 26, 1824, was a sea-faring man and died at sea in June, 1846. (3) Mary I., born Aug. 7, 1826, married Christopher B. Pelton, and died April 15, 1872. (4) John J., born April 17, 1829, is a resident of Springfield, Mass. (5) Sylvester D., our subject, is the youngest.

Sylvester D. Rockwell was born Nov. 21. 1833, in Litchfield county, Conn., but has lived most of his life in the town of East Windsor. At nine years of age he began working for his board and

clothes, spending three years on a farm in Windsor and four years in East Windsor. He was then employed at ten dollars per month by Edmond Watson, of East Windsor Hill, with whom he re- mained six months, and from that time until he reached the age of twenty-two he was engaged in raising tobacco by the pound. Going to Wiscon- sin, he spent six months in that State, and after his return to Warehouse Point he began raising to- bacco for Buckley P. Barber at three cents per pound. He continued with Mr. Barber six years, being superintendent of the farm during the last three years, and for two years was employed by Col. Phelps. By that time he had accumulated sufficient capital to warrant his venturing into busi- ness for himself, and he bought sixteen acres of land in Warehouse Point village, where he has since been successfully engaged in growing tobacco. I11 1869 he opened a coal yard, which he still con- ducts, and he is regarded as one of the most suc- cessful self-made men of his town. For many years he has been an active worker in the local Repub- lican organization, his ability and popularity mak- ing him a leader in the party councils. The first office he ever held was that of grand juror; for sixteen years he has served as selectman ; was col- lector of taxes in 1891 ; and in 1880 and 1896 he was elected to the State Legislature, his efficient service in that body reflecting lasting credit upon him. Mr. Rockwell has always taken an interest in edu- cational matters, and was for about fifteen years treasurer of School District No. 5, town of East Windsor. In religious faith he is a Methodist, and for thirty-five years he has been a class leader in the church at Warehouse Point.

On Jan. 9, 1859, Mr. Rockwell for his first wife married Miss Lydia Hendrick, who died July 17, 1863, and their only child, Dexter Hendrick, died in infancy. On Sept. 20, 1865, he married Miss Chloe G. Phillips, who died July 18, 1866. On March 17, 1868, he was again married, this time to Miss Flavia Pease, by whom he has had three chi'- dren : Olin S., born Feb. 24, 1869, is superintendent of the Chucy Mills at Windsor Locks; Raymond S., born Feb. 15, 1877. is a resident of Enfield ; and Alice, born Jan. 18, 1879, is the wife of Ralph M. Weston, of Springfield. Massachusetts.

Hezekiah Case, grandfather of Elihu B. Case, was a native of Simsbury, Conn., and some time prior to 1799 settled in the eastern part of that town, which is now known as Bloomfield. He first mar- ried Miss Cynthia Eno (grandmother of our sub- ject), and to this union were born tivo children : Hezekiah Hart, father of Curtis Hart and William G. Case, of whom mention will be made farther on, and Elihu Hiram, father of our subject. By his second marriage, to Susan Adams, he had two

daughters and one son. Hezekiah Case was a highly-respected farmer and influential citizen, was warden of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church at North Bloomfield, in politics was a Democrat, and at one time served as representative in the State Legisla- ture from the Simsbury district.

Mrs. Nancy Case was called away in 1840, and Mr. Case afterward married Emeline Evans; she bore him one son, Hezekiah E., who married Mary Fagan, and has a family of three children, Harry, Louise and Nellie. Mr. Case was in politics a Democrat. He died June 23, 1872, a faithful member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, and a highly-respected citizen.

Hon. Elihu Burr Case was reared in Bloomfield and was educated in the district school, the Sims- bury Academy, the Suffield Institute and the El- lington Institute; he began his business life as a teacher in the home school and also taught in West Hartford and in Canton, Conn.

In politics Mr: Case is a Demo- ocrat, has held most of the town offices, and in 1874 was the choice of his party to represent it in the State Legislature. He has been clerk of St. An- drew's Episcopal Church for thirty-seven years, and stands very high in the esteem of his immediate friends and the public in general.

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

Case was in politics a Democrat, held all the minor town offices, and was in every way a useful citizen. His wife was called away from him May 15, 1864, and he himself passed away May 29, 1876, a con- sistent member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.

Hon. Curtis H. Case passed his early school days in the Duncaster District of Bloomfield, and also attended school at Granby and Suffield, Conn., and Westfield, Mass. He was reared to manhood on his father's farm, and married, June 10, 1851, Eliza Hoskins, daughter of Noah Hoskins, and granddaughter of Asa Hoskins. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Case have adopted, as their own son, Alfred C., who married Abigail Hoskins, and has five chil- dren, Eliza N., Emma J., A. Curtis, Edmund E. and John Asa. To Elva M., the adopted daughter of Curtis H. Case, and wife of Everett Kenyon, were born seven children: Elva Estelle, Mabel A., Everett Seth, Lottie, Nettie, Jessie and May. Mr. and Mrs. Case are members of the Congregational Church of Bloomfield, and in politics Mr. Case is a Democrat. As such he has served as selectman and in the minor town offices, and also one term in the State Legislature. His social standing is nec- essarily high, as he and family are classed among the oldest and most respected residents of the town.

William G. Case, M. D., the younger brother of Hon. Curtis H. Case, was educated elementarily in the Duncaster District of Bloomfield, and early be- came a school teacher in his native county. In 1861 he entered the medical department at Yale, and in 1862 entered the hospital at New Haven, and further pursued his studies under Surgeon Jewett. He has confined his practice to the vicinity of his home farm, however, on which he has lived the greater portion of his life. To his marriage, at Wallingford, with Miss Venelia H. Todd, have been born three children: George H .; Venelia R., wife of Frederick W. Mack, and Delia A., who died at the age of seven months. Mrs. Mack, a highly accomplished lady, has published a volume entitled "Grange Poems," which contains forty-five of her exquisite productions, and which was copy- righted in 1891 and issued in 1892. The Doctor is a member of Hiram Lodge No. 98, F. & A. M., at Bloomfield. He has a large collection of antiques and historical works, and is considered one of the best read men of the county.

The Case family is classed among the oldest settlers of Simsbury, as John Case, the progenitor of this family, resided there over two centuries ago, and his remains were interred there in 1633.

GEORGE WATSON HUBBARD (deceased), late assistant secretary of the Ætna Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, was for the long period of twenty-eight years closely and efficiently identified with the growing business of that corporation.

Born March 24, 1841, in the town of Bloomfield. Mr. Hubbard was the only son of Joab Hiram and Fidelia (Cadwell) Hubbard, and a descendant of a sturdy New England family. (I) George Hubbard,

the emigrant ancestor of the Bloomfield branch of the Hubbards, to which our subject belonged, was born in 1601, probably in southeastern England. His name first appears of record in this country in 1639, in a list of early settlers of Hartford, who came over- land from the vicinity of Boston during the years 1635 and 1636, and located the towns of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfield, Conn., and Springfield, Mass. George Hubbard married, in 1640, Eliza- beth Watts. He moved to Mattabessett (afterward called Middletown) in 1650, and died there in 1684. From him our subject is a descendant 11: the eighth generation, the line of his descent being through Samuel, John, John (2), John (3), Joab and Joab Hiram.

(II) Samuel Hubbard, son of George, the emi- grant, born in 1648, in Hartford, married, in 1673, Sarah Kirby. Mr. Hubbard died in Hartford in 1732.

(III) John Hubbard, son of Samuel, born in 1691, in Hartford, married, in 1715, Agnes (Spen- cer ) Humphreys. He settled about 1721 on the east side of Talcott Mountain, in the town of Sims- bury, and about 1740 removed to that part of Wind- sor that afterward became Bloomfield, dying there in 1775.

(IV) John Hubbard (2), son of John, born in 1721, in Hartford, married Hannah Cadwell, and lived in what is now Bloomfield ; he died in 1760.

(V) John Hubbard (3), son of John (2), born in 1748, in Windsor, Conn., married, in 1775, Su- sannah Wells, and lived in Bloomfield. He was a member of the State Legislature in 1810; he died in 1830.

(VI) Joab Hubbard, son of Jolin (3), born in 1777, married, in 1804, Ruth Brown, who was born in 1783. They lived and died in Bloomfield. Their children were: Joab Hiram is mentioned below ; Ruth S., born about 1809, died in 1824; Franklin, born about 1810, was a most highly respected farmer of Bloomfield, and died in Hartford in 1886; Ann E., who never married, died in 1900; Langdon re- · moved to Huron City, Mich., and died in 1892; Marilla (I) and Marilla (2) both died young ; Wat- son is a resident of Sandusky, Ohio; Susan V. and Jeannette are residents of Hartford.

(VII) Joab Hiram Hubbard, son of Joab, and the father of our subject, was born about 1806, in the town of Bloomfield. He married Fidelia Cad- well, and their only son was George Watson. The father during the latter years of his life was a dry- goods merchant in Hartford, and he was an esteemed and respected citizen of the community.

George Watson Hubbard, the subject proper of this sketch, came with his parents on their removal to Hartford, when he was twelve years of age, and here completed his education in the public schools of the city. After his school days were over he passed a period engaged in mercantile life, and in 1865, at the age of twenty-four, entered the employ of the Ætna Life Insurance Co., in whose service he spent the rest of his life-a period of over twenty-

eight years-during which time he proved himself a most capable man in his several departments. For some fifteen years he was chief clerk, and then ad- vanced to the assistant secretaryship of the com- pany-a new office created some years prior to Mr. Hubbard's death, and for which he was particu- larly well adapted, owing to his familiarity with every detail of the large business. The writer of the obituary notice of Mr. Hubbard states that "he was a man of singularly even temperament, of do- mestic tastes, exemplary character and habits, and an earnest member of Christ Church, of which he was one of the vestrymen."

Mr. Hubbard was a good financier, possessing sound business judgment, and by habits of in- dustry, diligence and careful investment accumu- lated considerable property. He carried a life in- surance of about $25,000, in the ÆEtna, Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, Mtuual Ben- efit Life Insurance Co., of Newark, N. J., and other companies. In his political views he was a Re- publican, but he had no taste for public life. For a number of years prior to his death he had been treasurer of the Hartford County Horticultural So- ciety. For years he has resided on Wethersfield avenue, but some two years before he died trans- ferred his home to West Hartford. He was an ex- cellent citizen.

On Dec. 8, 1880, Mr. Hubbard was married to Miss Elizabeth Gay, born Feb. 14, 1865, daugh- ter of Joseph C. and Elizabeth G. ( Wells) Sisson, and the union was blessed with children as follows : Helen May, born May 3, 1882; Elizabeth Fidelia, born May 24, 1884; and Margarie, born Aug. 26, 1890. The father died Oct. 13, 1893, and the mother passed away March 28, 1897.

On the day of Mr. Hubbard's funeral the offices of the Ætna Life Insurance Co. were closed out of respect to the deceased, and his fellow associates in business attended the funeral in a body. The funeral services were held at Mr. Hubbard's late home in West Hartford, Rev. J. P. Faucon, as- sistant rector of Christ Church, officiating. The honorary pallbearers were: Warden George Ellis, representing Christ church : Secretary Joel L. Eng- lish and Cashier Charles F. Gilbert, of the Aetna Life Insurance Co .; and Charles T. Wells, for- merly of the Ætna Life Insurance Co., an intimate personal friend of Mr. Hubbard.

MRS. ELIZABETH GAY SISSON, of West Hartford, comes of distinguished ancestry. Her father, George Wells, was born in Hartford Sept. 18, 1797, and was the second son of Ashbel and Mary (Hopkins) Wells. His paternal grandfather was Ashbel Wells, Sr., and his maternal grand- father was Thomas Hopkins, a prominent sea cap- tain of his day. All were of English descent.

Ashbel Wells, Jr., was a clerk in the commissary department of Gen. Washington's army during the Revolutionary war, and subsequently was a promi- nent and extensive West India merchant of Hart-

ford. He died Sept. 4, 1819, at the age of sixty- one years, and, being very generally respected, his death was looked upon as a public calamity in the community where he had so long been engaged in business.

George Wells, father of Mrs. Sisson, left his native city at the age of seventeen years, and went as far west as Albany, N. Y. He obtained em- ployment as a shoemaker at Little Falls and Utica, N. Y., and finally located in Le Roy, that State, where he worked at his trade for a year and a half. By way of the Great Lakes he traveled from Buffalo to Brownhelm, Ohio, where he arrived June 18, 1818, and there he took up fifty acres of land on the lake shore, later increasing his property until he had one hundred acres. He erected thereon a log house in which he lived for nineteen years, de- voting a part of his time to farming and the re- mainder to his trade. In 1837 he sold that place, with the intention of moving farther west, but finally purchased a farm of 125 acres in the same locality, on which he made his home until his death. He cleared and improved both farms. He was an earnest and active member of the Congregational Church, and was an ardent Republican in politics.

On March 22, 1825, George Wells married Miss Maria Butler, of West Hartford, who was born Feb. 19, 1803, and died June 28, 1866. His death occurred April 11, 1881. Mrs. Wells' father, Jonathan Butler, was a resident of West Hartford, where he followed farming throughout life. He was born Oct. 28, 1769, and died Dec. 3, 1855. His father, Zaccheus Butler, also a resident of Hartford, was born in 1743, and died March 21, 1791. Jonathan Butler was married, Jan. 25, 1795, to Miss Elizabeth Gay, of Sharon, Conn., who was born March 1, 1768, and died Feb. 19, 1843. They had six children, the eldest of whom, Epaphrus, was born Feb. 9, 1796; William Gay, born Sept. 29, 1799, went to Michigan; Eliza, born Feb. 4, 1801, died Nov. 12, 1879; Maria, the mother of Mrs. Sisson, was the next in order of birth; George, born Oct. 6, 1805, resided in West Hartford; and Nathan, born Oct. 13, 1807, died Nov. 8, 1878. To Mr. and Mrs. Wells were born seven children : George Butler, born Feb. 17, 1826; Nathan Porter. Aug. 27, 1828; Elizabeth Gay, our subject, Sept. 7, 1831; Charles Hopkins, Oct. 16, 1833; Mary Maria, wife of Benjamin F. Nye, July 13, 1835; Abigail Skinner, deceased wife of F. H. Bacon, Sept. 13, 1837 ; and Thomas Gallaudet, Feb. 7, 1847. The last named was killed in the battle of South Mountain during the Civil war.

When five years old Mrs. Sisson came to West Hartford to visit her grandparents, an uncle and an aunt, and she remained with them from that time until lier marriage. She began her education in the North Division school, and later attended Miss Cosset's private school, on High street, and a pri- vate school in East Hartford, receiving a good training, such as was afforded by the seminaries and high schools of her day. On March 19, 1857,

His parents, Daniel Lee and Elizabeth (Chapman) Sisson, were born, reared and married in Westerly, R. I., later resided in Bloomfield, Conn., and in 1827, came to West Hart- ford, where they spent the remainder of their lives.
