Mr. Mackay is a man noted for his upright char- acter. He was one of the charter members of the Meriden Post, No. 6, G. A. R., and is affiliated with Meriden Lodge, No. 77, A. F. & A. M., Keystone Chapter. No. 27, R. A. M., and St. Elmo Com- mandery, No. 9. K. T. He was one of the charter members of the Home Club. In politics he is a Re- publican, and represented the First ward in the city council, where he served on the Fire and Police committees.
In 1879 Mr. Mackay married in Meriden, Miss Minnie E. Billard, daughter of the late John D. Billard, of Meriden. Mrs. Mackay died in 1880. and is buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery. For his second wife Mr. Mackay married in 1883 Miss Matie E. French, of New Haven, daughter of the late Capt. William French. The two children which have brightened this home are William Robertson, Jr., born Nov. 6, 1884, now a student, and Stanley F., born July 20, 1888, a student in the Grammar School.
Mrs. Mackay is a woman of culture, and, like her husband, is libera! in her religious views. She is domestic in her tastes. and profoundly devoted to the interests of her family, a keen observer of men and events; with her husband and others she has traveled to Europe, visiting many places of interest in France and Germany. Mr. Mackay is a man deeply interested in the comfort and welfare of his wife and sons, and is justly proud of their standing and character.
John Rait Mackay, a brother of William Rob- ertson Mackay, was born in New York City. and secured his primary education in the schools of

Jersey City, where his parents were living before their removal to Dorchester. At the latter place he also attended school, and completed his education in Wallingford. In 1865 he came to Meriden, and for years held a position with the Meriden Silver- plate Company. His death occurred at the home of his brother, William R., Dec. 15, 1901, and he was buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery. Mr. Mackay united with Company I, National Guard, in 1872, under Capt. Dexter W. Parker, and was promoted to corporal, and later to sergeant. He was made second lieutenant, Jan. 11, 1876, under Theodore Byxbee, and served as a commissioned officer until he was honorably discharged, February, 1878. In 1876, Lieutenant Mackay commanded his com- pany on the occasion of its journey to Philadelphia to participate in the Centennial exercises in that city.
Mr. Mackay was a strong Republican, but no politician. He was one of the best known citizens of the town, and was noted for his genial dis- position and upright character. He was one of the best informed men of the city, keeping himself posted on all the leading events of the day, and on most subjects he was regarded as authority. He was an upright citizen, and was much beloved by those who knew him best.
THE FRENCH FAMILY, of which Mrs. Mackay is a notable representative, are old settlers of New England. David French, her great-grandfather, was a resident of Vermont, and bore an important part in the War of the Revolution, as did also his brother, William, who was the first man to shed his life blood in that great struggle in New Hampshire, in which state a stone monument is erected to his memory.
David French, son of David, and grandfather of Mrs. Mackay, was a resident of Andover, Windsor Co., Vt., where he married, and became the honored sire of a family of thirteen children. Removing with his family to New York, he located at Cox- sackie, Green county, where he became a large land owner and successful merchant, and died ten years after settling in that locality.
William French, the son of David, and the father of Mrs. Mackay, was born Oct. 10, 1819, in An- dover, Vt., and was but three years old when he removed with his parents to New York. Left an orphan when thirteen years of age, the remainder of his youth was spent on the farm, and he was given a good common school education. He was a man of much reading and wide observation. When young, he became a steamboat man on the Hudson river, working under his brother-in-law, Capt. Harry Squires, and in time was made captain of a schooner. After this nautical experience he was extensively engaged in the manufacture of brick at Hudson, N. Y., where he had one of the largest kilns in that section, and in connection therewith owned several schooners and sloops employed in the transportation of his products to New York and
other points. For many years he carried on this business very successfully, and after disposing of his brick interests became engaged in the coal trade. From Hudson he came to New Haven with his family, and undertook the management of the canal wharf for the Canal Railroad Company, and was thus employed for three years. He then began a wholesale coal business, which was carried on until 1895, when he retired from active business. While on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Mackay, at Meriden, he died May 24, 1898, and he was laid to rest beside his wife in Evergreen Cemetery, at New Haven.
The Methodist Church had a stanch supporter and helpful member in Mr. French. Domestic in his habits, he was much devoted to his wife and family. In early life he was a Whig, but on the formation of the Republican party, united with its fortunes, and though no office seeker, was always an earnest worker in that organization. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was noted for his honorable and upright character.
William French was married in Coxsackie, N. Y., to Lydia A. Briggs, who was born in Coeymans, N. Y., and was a daughter of John Benjamin and Nancy (Hempsted) Briggs. The Briggs were an old family in Coxsackie, and the Hempsteads founded Hempstead, Long Island. Mrs. Lydia A. French died in New Haven, Sept. 24, 1893, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, of that city. She was a devout and consistent member of the Meth- odist Church, a notable Christian woman, and a de- voted wife and mother, whose many virtues and graces of heart and character are long remembered by those who come after. She was the mother of six children : (1) William F., of New Haven; (2) George, who died young; (3) Anna, deceased ; (4) Charles I., of New Haven, who has three children, Donald, Walter and Charles I., Jr .; (5) Matie E., who married William Robertson Mackay; and (6) Grace, who married E. Z. Dow, of New Haven, and is the mother of three children, William French, Arthur Kimball and Gardner.
HENRY GLEASON NEWTON, residing in New Haven, where he is the senior member of the law firm of Newton, Church & Hewitt, was born in Durham, Conn., June 5, 1843. He is of Colonial descent, numbering among his ancestors Roger Newton, first minister of Farmington, Conn., and second minister of Milford, and Rev. Thomas Hooker, first minister of Hartford, Conn.

tered Yale Law School, and by diligent study com- pleted the course there in 1872, winning the prizes for essays in civil and common law. The same year ยท he was admitted to the Bar, and in New Haven, entered upon the active practice of his profession, in which he has taken high rank. He has taken an active interest in the administration of public affairs, and in 1885 was a representative in the General Assembly from Durham, and became House chair- man of the Judiciary committee. The following term he was declared elected, but a miscount being claimed, Mr. Newton, as attorney for his opponent, contested his own election and succeeded in unseat- ing himself. In 1895 he again became a representa- tive in the General Assembly, this time, however, from New Haven. During this term he drew sev- eral important laws, as well as a revision of the Constitution recommended by the House. At the present time he is serving as a member of the State Board of Health, and is referee in Bankruptcy for New Haven county. He is also a director in and attorney for the Yale National Bank. He is the author of the work on Probate Law in the Con- necticut Civil Officer ; article on the Bankrupt Law of 1898 in Encyclopedia Britannica : article on the Blue Laws of New Haven in the New Haven His- torical Society; and the History of Durham in History of Middlesex county.
In 1885 Mr. Newton was united in marriage with Sarah Allen Baldwin, of Cromwell, Con- necticut.
HON. JOHN P. STUDLEY, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the County of New Haven, is a representative of a family that has long lived in New England.
Born May 15, 1846, in the town of Sharon, Conn., Judge Studley is a descendant in direct line from Benoni Studley, who lived in Sandwich, Mass., and was in that part of Scituate now called Han- over, in 1702, in which year his house was built in Hanover street. In 1701 he married Abigail, daughter of John Stetson, of Scituate. He died suddenly in 1746.
The name Studley is an old English one, found in the County of Kent, and also in Yorkshire. Sav- age in his Genealogical Dictionary, in referring to Benoni Studley, says that perhaps he was a son of John, who was a son of John Studley, of Boston, who had by his wife, Elizabeth, a son John, born in 1659. This John and Elizabeth were in Boston in 1659.
From Benoni Studley of Sandwich, Mass., Judge Studley's line is through his son, Joshua, who was born in 1707, and married in 1735 Lydia Pratt. Joshua died in 1759 or 1760, and his wife in 1759.
Joshua Studley (2), son of Joshua, the next in line, born in 1742, married Ruth Allen, and in 1771 settled in the town of Sharon, Conn. He was a carpenter by trade, and a man of successful enter- prise.
Ichabod Studley, son of Joshua (2), was the father of children as follows: Joshua, Gidcon A, Enoch and Calvin.
John P. Studley, the subject proper of this sketch, in his early boyhood removed with his par- ents to Ansonia, and from the town of Derby, when but sixteen years of age, enlisted Aug. 4, 1862, in Company B, 20th Conn. V. I., the fortunes of which he shared and in which he bore an honorable record for three years, being mustered out with his com- pany June 13, 1865. The 20th saw much active service from start to finish. For a period in its early history it formed a part of the 12th Corps, Army of the Potomac, under Gen. Hooker, and was engaged at Chancellorsville May 1, 2 and 3, 1863, losing some eighty-five in killed and wounded, and as many more in prisoners. The regiment was among the first to arrive at Gettysburg, under Gen. Meade, where for a time it was on the defensive, awaiting the arrival of other troops. The 12th Corps occupied a position at the extreme right of the line at Culp's Hill, pitted against Ewell's Corps (formerly Stonewall Jackson's), and after seven hours, fighting, drove the enemy back with great loss. The following fall the regiment, with the 12th Corps, joined the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, and on Jan. 20, 1864, were engaged at Tracy City, Tenn. In April, 1864, the 11th and 12th Corps became the 20th, and in this corps the- 20th regiment thereafter remained. The regiment was in action at Boyd's Trail, Tenn., May 9, 1864, and bore an honorable part at Resaca, Ga., May 15, 1864; Cassville, Ga., May 19; and at Pumpkin Vine Creek. The 20th also took an active part in. all the marches and skirmishes and battles for the two months following, the regiment doing proudly at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, July 20, 1864, by a gallant charge which drove the enemy. back from the field, and capturing prisoners and arms. Again,. the 20th regiment was the first to enter the city after the siege of Atlanta, from July 21 to August 7, 1864. It was afterward engaged at Silver Run, N. C., March 15, 1865, then at Bentonville, on March 19, losing thirty-six enlisted men. The regi- ment was at Raleigh, N. C., in the fight of April 13,. and thence started homeward by land, passing through Richmond, Va., May 11, and on the 20th. reaching Washington, where it participated in the Grand Review. It was mustered out June 13, 1865.
On the close of the war our subject began anew his school days, entering Phillips Academy, at An- dover, Mass., taking the college preparatory course, and graduating in 1868. The same year he entered Yale College, where he pursued his studies for two. years, then temporarily accepted a position in the Navy Department at Washington. He held this appointment nearly three years, resigned and re- turned to New Haven, entering Yale Law School, from which he was graduated in 1875. After his graduation he was immediately admitted to the Bar in New Haven, began the practice of law in the

office of the late Hon. George H. Watrous, and was soon, owing to his energy, habits and perseverance, on the road to usefulness as a citizen and success in his profession. For the past twenty years the former soldier boy has occupied a prominent place in the citizenship of his adopted city, and has filled a number of positions of honor, trust and responsi- bility, and, to his credit be it said, the duties of each have been most efficiently and ably performed. In 1878 he was elected to the common council of the city and served therein two years, the last year as its president. In 1880 he was elected a member of the board of aldermen, and served for a term of two years. In 1881 he was elected by the State Legislature as Assistant Judge of the New Have City Court, and in January, 1883, he was made Judge of the same court, his term of office expiring in March, 1895. Two years later he was elevated to the Judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas for New Haven County, a position he has since held. He has also held by appointment the office of as- sistant city attorney.
Socially Judge Studley is prominent in the Knights of Honor. He was initiated into Roger Sherman Lodge, No. 323, at New Haven, Feb. 26, 1878, and has since served the lodge in various official capacities. In 1880 he was chosen to repre- sent the Grand Lodge. In 1881 he was elected Grand Vice Dictator, and in May, 1883, he was promoted to the Grand Dictatorship of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut.
FREDERIC SPRING, M. D., is the senior member of the well-known firm of Spring & Bull, prominent physicians and surgeons of Naugatuck, Conn. The talent and culture of these gentlemen have gained them an honorable position in the med- ical profession, and they enjoy an extensive practice.
Dr. Spring was born in New York City, April 25, 1858, and on the paternal side is of English de- scent, though the family was founded in this country in the early colonial days. His great-grandfather, Rev. Samuel Spring, pastor of a church at New- buryport, Mass., was a Revolutionary chaplain, and went with Benedict Arnold to Quebec. The grand- father, Rev. Gardinar Spring, was born in New- buryport, Mass., and for over half a century was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at the corner of Thirty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, New York City. A part of this time he also preached down town where the Times building now stands. He married Susan Barney, of New Haven, Conn., a daughter of Hannibal and Phoebe (Wolcott) Barney and granddaughter of Gov. Wolcott of this State. She was born Sept. 1, 1781, and died Aug. 7, 1860. Lucius L. Spring, the father of our sub- ject, i's the youngest in their family of fifteen chil- dren, two of whom were lawyers, one a doctor and some merchants. Nearly all settled in New York.
Lucius L. Spring is a native of New York City, and there he has made his home throughout life.
For many years he was a manufacturer of railroad iron, such as rails, but is now living a retired life, having acquired a comfortable competence which enables him to lay aside all business cares. He married Miss Martha C. Parson, who was born in New York, a daughter of an editor. She died at the age of fifty-two years. To them were born nine children, namely: Louis, deceased ; Mary E., also deceased; Frederic, our subject; Gardinar, a physician of White Haven, Md .; Edward Walton, auditor of the Erie railroad; Cleveland Winslow, deceased ; Samuel ; Charles, deceased; and Lillian, wife of Howard L. Isbell, of Naugatuck. In po- litical sentiment the father is a Republican.
Dr. Spring passed his boyhood and youth in New York, and was graduated from the Harvard prep- aratory school. For a few years thereafter he en- gaged in business, and then entered the University of the City of New York, where he completed his medical course and was graduated with the class of 1884. He next made a special study of the diseases of Women and Children, and in 1886 came to Nau- gatuck, where he has since successfully engaged in the practice of his chosen profession. He is now associated with Dr. Thomas M. Bull, under the firm name of Spring & Bull, and they have a fine resi- dence and office in Naugatuck. Constant study and close application to the details of their profession have won for them a prominent place in the medical fraternity.
On Sept. 15, 1879, Dr. Spring was united in marriage with Miss Isabel Brockway, who was born in New York, daughter of Oscar F. Brockway. They now have three children: Gardinar, Eliza- beth Paton and Natalia. The Doctor and his fam- ily are members of the Congregational Church, and he also belongs to Centennial Lodge, No. 100, I. O. O. F., the Knights of Pythias ; and the Nauga- tuck, New Haven county and State Medical So- cieties. In his political affiliations he is a Repub- lican.
WALTER WHITTLESEY BRONSON is the son of William Clark Bronson, and grandson of Ira Virgil Bronson, M. D., who was born in New York, and spent most of his life in Washington, Con- necticut.
The Bronson family in Connecticut begins its American history with John and Richard Bron- son (Brownson or Brunson). the former of whom was early in Hartford, and is believed to have been one of the company which came in 1636 with Rev. Mr. Hooker, of whose church he was a member. During the Pequot war he served as a soldier. He was an original proprietor of Hartford. "by cour- tesie of the town," in 1639. About 1641 he removed to Tunxis, now Farmington, and was deputy from Farmington to the General Court in 1651. His ad- mission to the Farmington Church is recorded Oct. 13, 1652, and his death occurred in 16So. John Bronson had the following children: Jacob, John,

Y .; had a son Ephraim, who married Bertha Virgil, of Hillsdale, and had fourteen children," giving Ira V., as the fourth child. According to Hinman's "Puritan Settlers of Connecticut," Moses Bronson moved to Hillsdale, N. Y., about 1755, his son Ephraim at that time being a child of about ten years of age.
Ephraim Bronson reared his family in Hillsdale, Kinderhook, or in Delhi, N. Y., in which places the family resided at different times. They settled last in Groton, N. Y., where Ephraim died.
Ira Virgil Bronson, M. D., noted in a preced- ing paragraph, was born Oct. 18, 1778, in New York, and went, while still young, to Simsbury, Conn., where he read medicine with Dr. Everett. In 1804 he removed to Washington, Conn., where he settled and practiced medicine. Dr. Bronson mar- ried Sarah Ann Moseley, daughter of Capt. Abner Moseley, and granddaughter of Increase Moseley, . who was born in 1738, and was a member of the Committee on Safety during the war of the Revolu- tion. Dr. Bronson was a Whig and a Congrega- tionalist.

Park- er, was a native of Princeton, Mass., a carpenter and owner of a saw mill, and was possessed of con- siderable mechanical genius, which seems to have been inherent in the family. His death, which oc- curred in Princeton, at the age of forty-six years, was caused by cancer of the stomach. He was an old-line Whig and a member of the Congregational Church. His wife, Sylvia A. Moore, who was also a native of Princeton, was a descendant of an old colonial family, and died while visiting a daughter at Plainfield, N. J.
