COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

the blacksmith's trade in Durham, and going to New Haven established a very successful business in the manufacture of carriage hard- ware. He died in March, 1891, leaving the business to his son Frank and other heirs, who still conduct it. He married Clarissa Col- burn, a teacher of Hamden. (3) Harvey, who married Harriet Ramsell, was in the em- ploy of his brother, Moses. (4) Augustus was the father of our subject.

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Sally Seward returned to Durham and made her home with her sister, who lived in a house on the site of one now occupied by Henry Page. She married, for her second husband, a Mr. Ames, of Fair Haven, by whom she had one daughter, Adeline, who married Ebenezer Culver, of Wallingford, a brother of the late Moses Culver, of Middletown. Mrs. Sally Ames died at the home of her son, Moses Seward, in New Haven, at the age of sixty- four years.

Augustus Seward, the father of Stephen A., was born March 16, 1819, in Pompey, N. Y., one month after his father died. He came to Durham with his mother when an in- fant and lived with her for a few years, and later with John Hart, until he was about seven years old, when he was bound out to the grandfather of Gen. Lee, of Guilford, with whom he lived until he was sixteen. He then came to Durham, making his home with Elah Camp, a farmer on the west side of Durham, attending school and working for his board. His only education was that received in the district school. Later he went to Haddam, and was employed as a teamster in Hazleton's quarries for about two years. He then re- turned to Durham, was married, and bought of Joel Ives the nucleus of his farm, a tract of fifteen acres, to which he added from time to time, working very hard and improving the property continually. He built all the barns, remodeled the house, and engaged extensively in farming and also in buying and selling sheep. He was, at that time, one of the very few in the town who owned sheep. At the time of his death he owned nearly 270 acres of land, in Durham and Guilford. Mr. Sew- ard passed away November 4, 1886, after a gradual decline of several years, and was bur- ied in Durham. He was married February 27, 1840, to Alpha M. Bailey, who was born

September 16, 1820, and they had five chil- dren, as follows. (I) Stephen A. is our sub- ject. (2) George D., born October II, 1844, married Alice Smith. He was a farmer, and lived in Durham, where he died November 3, 1876. (3) Henry B., born October 14, 1847, died August 28, 1851. (4) Alice M., born June 16, 1850, married Frank Brainerd, and lives in Durham. (5) Mary E., born Sep- tember 5, 1852, married William Birdsey, a farmer of Northford. Augustus Seward, the father, was a Democrat. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as is his widow, who is now a resident of Durham, and an active and well-preserved lady.

Stephen A. Seward was born September 8, 1842, in the house on the west side of Dur- ham then occupied by his parents. His early education was received in the district schools, and for two winters he attended the Durham Academy, under Prof. Henry S. Jewett, and also a select school located on "the Green" in Durham, kept by George Webber, of Maine, a student of Wesleyan University. Mr. Sew- ard remained on the home farm until he was twenty-seven years old. He then rented the Ives place, near the home farm, where he re- mained one year, after which he rented the farm on the west side now occupied by Elli- ott Warner, and there remained twenty years, carrying on general farming. In March, 1891, he purchased his present residence from the heirs of Edwin Priest, the "Phineas Meigs place," located at Durham Center, where he now carries on light farming.

Mr. Seward married January 22, 1884, in Durham, Emma L. Ives, a native of Durham, daughter of Heber and Louise (Mead) Ives. They have one son, Arthur I., born November 29, 1884. Mr. Seward is an at- tendant of the M. E. Church, of which his wife is a member. In politics he is a Demo- crat. He prefers business to a public life, and has on numerous occasions declined local of- fices, though serving in a few; he is now a member of the school board. Mr. Seward is a man of superior judgment, and is most worthily esteemed by a wide acquaintanceship for his sterling traits of character.

GILDERSLEEVE. This notable family has been intimately associated with the social and commercial life of the town of Port- land for more than a century and a quarter, and with the affairs of Connecticut and Long Island for nearly three centuries. The first of the name of which up to this time we have any record was Roger Gyldersleeve, who lived in England nearly a century previous to the be- ginning of the following record, and it is re- ported that there was a Baron Gildersleeve in Sweden. We have at present no record that either Roger or the Baron was connected with this branch of the family.

(I) Richard Gildersleeve, born in 1601, is first mentioned in Colonial records in 1636 in Wethersfield, Conn., as the owner of 255 acres of land ; that town was settled by the migration from the town of Watertown, Mass. In 1641 he was one of the first settlers of Stamford, Conn., which town he represented as deputy in the General Court at New Haven. In 1644, under the leadership of Rev. Richard Denton, he was of the company that settled Hempstead, L. I., and was one of the leading men of that town for nearly fifty years. He was a magis- trate under the Dutch governors of New York, 1644 to 1664, when New York was captured by the English. He was one of the first to take allegiance to the English, being admitted a freeman of Connecticut at Hempstead in 1664. In 1657 he was called "Sarjant" Gildersleeve. He was on various committees, and was a wit- ness to many deeds with his wife, Dorcas (born in 1601, died after 1698), up to his death, in 1691. He was supposed to have emigrated from Hemel-Hempstead, Hertfordshire, Eng- land, with Rev. Richard Denton's Company, to Watertown. Mass., then to Wethersfield, Conn., Stamford, Conn., and Hempstead, L. I. Ac- cording to his will, dated 1690, probated April 30, 1691, at Jamaica, L. I., he left the follow- ing children : Richard, Jr., born in 1637; Thomas ; Dorcas, who married Thomas Lester ; and Elizabeth.

(II) Richard Gildersleeve (2), Jr., (Rich- ard I) born in 1637, was brought by his father to Hempstead, and was town clerk there, 1665, 1668-1670, 1678-1682; constable, 1678; town

FERDINAND GILDERSLEEVE (Syl- vester VII, Philip VI, Obadiah V, Thomas IV, Richard III, Richard II, Richard I), sou of Sylvester and Emily Shepard ( Cornwall ) Gildersleeve, was born August 20, 1840, in that part of the Town of Portland called Gil- dersleeve. Through his mother he is related to the Shepards of Portland and the Lelands and Warrens of Massachusetts, prominent Revolutionary families.

Mr. Gildersleeve's education was received at the district school in his native village and at boarding school. He was an active member of the famous Portland, Lyceum from which he derived great benefit. In 1855, at the age of fifteen, he began his business career as a clerk in his father's store, and was admitted a part- ner in the well known shipbuilding and mer- cantile firm of S. Gildersleeve & Sons, soon after becoming twenty-one. This firm, first established in 1821, was at this time composed of his father and brother Henry, both men of large experience, marked ability and integrity. Under these wholesome and progressive in- fluences his business qualities developed early, and he soon made himself felt in the active affairs of his firm and the community. The firm name of S. Gildersleeve & Sons has been retained since the death of Sylvester and Henry, and the business continues to be con- ducted under the old title. Ferdinand is now the senior member, and largely interested in all its branches. He has associated with him his eldest son, William, manager of the store de- partment, and assistant postmaster at Gilder- sleeve; Oliver, who has general oversight of the shipbuilding at Gildersleeve and vessel owning interests in New York ; and Oliver's son, Alfred, manager of the shipyard depart- ment. Oliver's son, Louis, is manager of the fleet of boats in New York. The business con- tines prosperous, and when activity in any branch lessens more energy and attention is given to the firm's many other or new enter- prises.
