BANJAMIN FOREST HOSLEY, the eldest son of our subject, was born in East Haven Aug. 1, 1852. Reared at East Haven and in Branford, he received a good common-school education, and learned the carpenter's trade, beginning his apprenticeship at the age of eighteen. In Branford he had his first building contract, the erection of a bakery, and since that time he has led a successful career as a con- tractor and builder in that city. In 1891 he put 11p the four-story building known as the Hosley block. In the upper three stories of this building is con- ducted the "Deleven Hotel," which is pronounced the leading hotel of the place. He has successfully carried out a large number of other important build- ing contracts, including many private buildings in Branford and adjoining regions. Besides his home in Branford Mr. Hosley owns several buildings in that place, as well as a cottage at Sunset Beach, In- dian Neck.
Mr. Hosley has been married twice, his first wife being Idella Pond, of Branford, who died Jan. 5, 1893. His second wife to whom he was married Jan. 17, 1895, was Louisa A. Zink, daughter of Dr. Walter and Carrie Zink, of Branford. By this union he has two children, Carrie and Flora.
Mr. Hosley is a member of Woodlawn Lodge, No. 39, K. of P., and also belongs to the K. H., the N. E. O. P. and the Woodmen of the World. In politics he has taken an independent position, and on the strength of his personal character and well- known business ability was elected warden of Bran- ford in 1900.
FREDERIC B. HOADLEY, a retired business man of Waterbury, was born in Sheffield, Mass., Sept. 30, 1839, the eldest of a family of four chil- dren born to Henry H. and Jane (Callender) Hoad- ley.
Hial Hoadley, grandfather of our subject, was a farmer in Naugatuck, Conn., and was in all likeli- hood born in that town. He married Sena Benham, and they at once settled on a farm in Naugatuck, where were born to them four children, in the fol- lowing order: Henry H., father of Frederic B .; Mary, who married Jolin Coe, the proprietor of a tannery at Beacon Falls, Conn. ; Augusta, who was married to Isaac Coe, superintendent of the Amer- ican Pin Co. at Waterbury at the time of his death : and Eben, deceased, who was a lumber dealer in Waterbury, and had been a yard superintendent for many years.
Henry H. Hoadley was born in Naugatuck Aug. 19, 1816, and was reared in Sheffield, to which place he had been taken when ten years of age. He be- came a farmer and surveyor. To his marriage with Jane Callender, who was born in Sheffield, daughter of Aaron and Nancy ( Keep) Callender, were born four children, towit: Frederic B., the subject of
this sketch ; Mary E., who became the wife of A. N. Cowles, of Sheffield; George A., who is a professor of physics in Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania; and Alfred H., a physician in Northampton, Mass. The father of this family died in Sheffield. Sept. 6, 1880, and the mother survived until Feb. 7, 1891.
Frederic B. Hoadley remained on the Sheffield farm until twenty years of age, and was educated in the meantime in the district and high schools. On March 12, 1860, he came to Waterbury from Massa- chusetts and entered the American pin factory, where he remained twenty-four years, working up to the responsible position of foreman of the stick- ing department. In 1884 he ventured into the fire insurance business. Some time afterward he was appointed foreman of the pin department in the Plume & Atwood factory, but did not relinquish his insurance interests, and for twelve years continued in both. About that time Mr. Hoadley was ap- pointed president and treasurer of the Washburn Manufacturing Co., which position he filled with consummate ability until called upon by the New England Pin Co., at Winsted, who wanted an expert to aid in the sticking department and offered the position to Mr. Hoadley. He.accepted and held the situation eighteen months, at the end of that time retiring to Waterbury to care for his rents and other private interests.
On Jan. 1, 1867, Mr. Hoadley married Miss Elizabeth C. Cowles, a daughter of Corral Cowles, of Sheffield, and they have had five children, viz. : Carroll, who died in infancy; Mary L., who also died young ; Henry A., who is a teller in the Fourth National Bank of Waterbury; Bessie N., still under the parental roof ; and Miriam G., who passed away at a very early age.
Mr. Hoadley has always taken an active and deep interest in religious and fraternal societies. In 1860 he joined the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, of which he was treasurer for many years and president one year. He was treasurer of the First Congregational Benevolent Contributions for thirty years, and in 1889 was elected a deacon of the church. He is a member of the A. O. U. W., for two years in succession was master workman, has filled all the offices, and was for eight years financier. He is also a member of the Royal Arca- num, and has been or is prominent in work in all these orders and societies. In politics he is a Re- publican.
BOOTH. Throughout the last century the name of Booth has been prominent in the com- mercial world of New Haven, and in his day for fifty years no man in the city's history stood higher in business circles than Nathaniel Booth, whose name is still identified with the business he established and built up. Some of his descendants and their families allied by marriage are still resi- dents of the city.
The Booth family is an old and prominent one

in New England. Tradition has it that three brothers, sons of Richard Booth, of Cheshire, Eng- land, came to New England between 1630 and 1640, landing at New Haven. Richard, the eldest, set- tled in Stratford, Conn., in 1640, one year after the settlement of that town ; John settled in Southold. 1. 1. ; and the younger brother went to the North. Of these, Richard was the progenitor of many of the Connecticut Booths. His father, says tradition, was the fifth son of Sir William Booth, Knight, who died and was buried in Bowdon, Cheshire, England, in September, 1578. Richard Booth, son of Sir William Booth, and the father of the three brothers who came to America, died in December, 1628. Richard Booth, of Stratford, Conn., mar- ried Elizabeth, sister of Capt. Joseph Hawley, who was the first town clerk of Stratford, in 1640, and the progenitor of a numerous family. Richard Booth's name appears often in the town records of his day as townsman or selectman and in other commissions of office and trust. He had a large estate. He was probably twice married, his first wife being the mother of his children, who were: Elizabeth, Anne, Ephraim, Ebenezer, John, Jo- seph, Bethiah and Joanna. The last mention of Richard Booth extant is in March, 1688-89, when he was in his eighty-second year.
NATHANIEL BOOTH, of New Haven, was born in Stratford, Conn., and with his family removed to Woodbury at the age of two years. His line from Richard is through ( II) Joseph, (III) James, (IV) James (2), and ( V) Hezekiah. (IV) James Booth was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He formed a company at the time of Tryon's invasion, and the Historical Society at Bridgeport has his pay-roll. Miss Booth, the daughter of our subject, has a photograph copy of same. While yet in his teens Nathaniel Booth came from Woodbury to New Haven, entering as a clerk the drug store of Nathaniel Lewis, in Chapel street, where stands the Lewis building, and there he obtained a thorough knowledge of pharmaceutics. He finally embarked in the drug business for himself in 1825, and, as- sociated with the late John Bromham, established the well-known firm of Booth & Bromham, in State street, which continued until dissolved March 5. 1847, Mr. Booth continuing the business until January, 1849, when he was burned out. Upon the old site he erected a brick building, which later he rented to Cowles & Leete, to whom he sold the drug business. He then built on the corner of Olive and Water street, where he carried on the manufacture of varnish, to which he gave his close personal attention, soon winning for this commod- ity an extensive sale. The output from his estab- lishment stood high, and ranked among the stand- ard products of the kind throughout the country. Mr. Booth was a man of great energy and industry, and applied himself continuously to active business long after he had reached the meridian of life. During the latter years of his active life he asso-
ciated with him in the business his sons, Nathaniel and Lewis, under the firm name of N. Booth & Sons. Later Lyman M. Law was taken into the partnership, the firm becoming Booth & Law, un- der which name the business is still carried on. He was a most excellent citizen, a man of the strictest honor and integrity, one whose business career fur- nishes an excellent example for the young man. He was a regular attendant and member of the Trinity Church, in which he was a vestryman, and gave liberally to church and benevolent work. He was a Freemason in his earlier years, but although kindly to all and sociable in disposition, was most attracted by home life. He was a man of large physique, and a typical gentleman of the old school.
On May 8, 1825, Mr. Booth was married to Ann Bromham, sister of John and daughter of Capt. Jolin Bromham, a sea captain, who was born in Bristol, England. He died Feb. 26, 1866, aged sixty-nine years, and his wife passed away March 27, 1880. Their remains rest in Evergreen ceme- tery. Their children were : Anna, who married Lyman M. Law; Nathaniel, who was in business with his father, and died in 1858; Lewis, who was also engaged in business with his father, and died in 1875: Julia : Emily Bromham, who died in 1896; John ; John (2) ; and Mary Lewis, of New Haven, Conn. Julia and Mary Lewis are the only sur- vivors. They reside in the old homestead, which was built in 1800, and bought by Mr. Booth in 1844. Both sisters are members of the D. A. R.
DAVID L. DURAND, for many years a well- known and highly esteemed citizen of Derby, was born in Birmingham, Oct. 18, 1841, and is a worthy. representative of one the honored old families of New Haven county. Among both his paternal and maternal ancestors we find the- names of many associated with positions of trust and responsibil- ity, both in church and State. They were well rep- resented in the Revolutionary army. His great- great-grandfather and four sons, among them the great-grandfather of our subject, were in that army and did good service for their country. They were also represented in the second war with Great Britain in 1812.
David Durand, our subject's paternal grand- father, was born in 1790, and engaged in farming throughout life. He married Maria Leavenworth, a native of the town of Huntington, Fairfield Co .; Conn., and a daughter of Edmund Leavenworth. By this union were born four children, namely : William L., father of our subject; Elizabeth MI .. wife of Nelson M. Beach, now of Derby; Martha. wife of Eli Nichols, of Bridgeport, Conn. ; and Frederick, who has been a teacher for many years, and lives in Shelton, Connecticut.
William L. Durand was born in this county in 1814, and in early life went to New Haven, where he learned the harness maker's trade, which he sub- sequently followed in Derby, but was finally obliged

to give it up on account of ill health. He worked in various places, but in 1860 returned to Derby, where he died May 2, 1898. In 1838 he married Miss Ruth Coe, who was born in Beacon Falls, Conn., in 1817, a daughter of John Allen and Grace Coe. Her father was born in Derby in 1792, and was a son of Jolin Coe, Jr., a resident of that town, and a grandson of John Coc, who came to this county from Stratford, Conn. Mrs. Durand died Dec. 10, 1900. She was the mother of four chil- dren : (1) MIary, who died Feb. 27, 1856, at the age of sixteen years. (2) David L. is our subject. (3) Cynthia J. died Feb. 25, 1856, at the age of ten years. (4) William F. was born in 1859, and was graduated at the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1880, second in a class of about eighty ; he served for ten years in the navy and then went to Lansing, Mich., where he was a professor in the State Agri- cultural College for a time. After going abroad he was made professor of naval architecture and marine engineering at Cornell University, with which he has now been connected for about seven years. He married Miss Charlotte Kneen, who is of English descent.
When only a year old David L. Durand was taken by his parents to Beacon Falls, and in that place and New Haven he grew to manhood. He completed his education in the Naugatuck high school at the age of eighteen years, and then served an apprenticeship to the machinist's trade in the Farrell Foundry and Machine Co., of Ansonia, Conn., where he remained a year and a half. In September, 1861, he enlisted in the roth Conn. V. I., and was stationed along the coast much of the time he was in the army. Being a skilled ma- chinist, his services were valuable to the govern- ment, and for a time he had charge of a repair shop for a military railroad at Newbern, N. C. He was in active service on Morris Island, when Fort Sumter was reduced by the Union army, in 1863. He was wounded at Drury's Bluff May 14, 1864, and on the expiration of his term of enlistment was honorably discharged in September of that year. Returning North, he located in Waterbury, Conn., where he was identified with the brass business un- til 1884, and then came to Derby, being made gen- eral superintendent of the Osborn Cheeseman Brass Works. Upon the organization of the Bir- mingham Brass Co. he was made secretary, treas- urer and general manager, which position he held for five years, and under his able management the business steadily prospered. He left that company when the plant came into the possession of other parties, and for a time held a responsible position with the Coe Brass Mfg. Co., of Ansonia. In Oc- tober, 1901, Mr. Durand and family removed to Los Angeles, Cal., where they now reside.
-
In 1869 Mr. Durand married Miss Caroline S. Bishop, who died in 1883, leaving no children. For his second wife he married Miss Mary W. Cheese- inan, of Derby, by whom he has one child, Georgia
C. George Weeks Cheeseman, the father of Mrs. Durand, was born in New York in 1822, a son of George Cheeseman, also a native of New York, who died when his son was a mere child. The lat- ter continued his residence in New York until six- icen years of age, when he came to Stratford, Conn., and completed his education in the schools of that place. Subsequently he served as bookkeeper for Edward N. Shelton, of Birmingham, for two years, and then engaged in the dry-goods and grocery business with John W. Osborn, under the firm name of Osborn & Cheeseman. They also manufactured hoop skirts, etc., and later engaged in the brass business, erecting factories at Shelton and An- sonia. In politics Mr. Cheeseman was a Republi- can. He died in 1891, aged sixty-eight years. He was a leader in the work of the M. E. Church, was liberal to the poor, and always interested in prac- tical benevolences. Mr. Cheeseman married Sarah A. Durand, a sister of Charles Durand, of An- sonia, and to them were born four children: Mary W., wife of our subject; George H., who died at the age of twenty-five years; Charles D., who re- sides in Los Angeles, Cal .; and Wilbur P., who died in infancy.
The Republican party finds in Mr. Durand a stanch supporter of its principles, and during his residence in Waterbury he was a prominent and influential member of the town committee for many years. He was also master of Harmony Lodge, F. & A. M .; eminent commander of Clark Commandery, No. 7, K. T .; and is an honored member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
