BENJAMIN HALL, dairy farmer of East Wal- lingford, warden of the Episcopal Church, and one of the leading spirits of his community, was born on the farm which is now his home Oct. 30, 1830. A descendant of one of the old families of New Haven county, he has worthily sustained the family honor by a clean and upright life.
Jolin Hall was the first of this family to settle in New Haven county. Coming from England to Boston prior to 1650. with his family, he located in this region. In 1669 his three sons, with others, came to Wallingford. and were signers of the Plan- tation Covenant. On this interesting document John Hall's name appears in 1672. In 1675 he was chosen selectman of the town, as was also liis son Jolm, and here the remainder of his life was spent ; he died in 1676, at the age of seventy-one years.

1752; and ( II ) Abel, the date of whose birth is now unknown.
John Hall (4), son of John (3). born Dec. 28, 1712. was a lifelong farmer in his native town of Wallingford, where he died May 13. 1795 : he was buried in Guilford. Abigail Russell became his wife June II, 1739, and they had the following children: - (1) Elias, born March 10. 1740; (2) Jared. July 19, 1741 : (3) Abigail.

July 6, 1751 ; (9) Anna C., Aug. 15, 1755: ( 10) Benjamin, July 2. 1757.
Benjamin Hall, the grandfather of our subject proper, was born as noted above in the town of Wallingford, and like his father was an extensive land owner and farmer. He owned and cultivated the farm where his grandson now lives, and the handsome house which is the home of the Hall fam- ily was built by him. In politics he was a Whig. and in religion a member of the Congregational Church. Mr. Hall married Lydia Cook, and they had four children: (1) Lyman was born March 20, 1798; (2) Mary, born June 12. 1799. married Joel Curtis; (3) Emeline married Miner Harrison ; (4 ) Orrin was born March 2, 1803.
Orrin Hall, father of Benjamin, lost his father by death while he was still very young, and ob- tained only a district-school education. From an early age he was engaged in farm labor. When he was twenty-eight years old he settled on the old homestead, where he became engaged in farming and stock raising, and he remained on the farm all his life, dying there at the ripe age of seventy-two years. His remains rest in the Center street cem- etery at Wallingford. In religion he was a mem- ber of the Congregational Church, and in politics a Whig in early life, and in later years a Demo- crat. Abstemious and temperate in his habits, and a hard-working man, he was a good citizen and a kind father. Orrin Hall and Mary Todd were mar- ried in Wallingford, where she was born, in the Society of Northford. daughter of Thelas Todd. Four children came to this union: (I) Benjamin is mentioned below: (2) Gloson is living retired in New Haven : (3) Mary is the widow of Ranson Baldwin : (4) Elbert resides in western Missouri. The mother died in Meriden. at the home of her daughter, and was buried in the Center street cem- etery, Wallingford. A member of the Episcopal Church, she was a good Christian woman, and was highly respected in every relation of life.
Benjamin Hall began life as a poor boy, and had only the advantages of a common-school educa- tion. He worked at farm labor from a very early age, and continued thus until his marriage, when lie settled down to farming on his own account. and has ever since been engaged in general agri- culture and stock raising. To-day he is one of the most extensive dairymen of Wallingford, keep- ing a herd of sixty cows. Many improvements have
been wrought on the farm since it passed into his hands, and he is one of the largest land owners in the town of Wallingford, accumulating this ex- tensive property very largely through his own ef- forts. A genial and affable man, he is pronounced a good neighbor, and a kindly-hearted and upright member of the community by all that know him. He resides on the old homestead where five genera- tions of Halls have lived. Twice appointed post- master at East Wallingford during the Mckinley administration, he filled that position until the of- fice was abandoned for the rural delivery.
Benjamin Hall was married, in 1857, in East Haven, to Miss Martha Todd, daughter of Jonah H. Todd. She died in 1862 in East Wallingford, and was buried in the Center street cemetery. A member of the Episcopal Church, she was an ex- emplary woman in every respect. For his second wife Mr. Hall married, on April 11, 1866, Clarissa C. Porter, who was born in Farmington. Conn., a daughter of William S. Porter. Two children were born to the first marriage: (1) Jane Elizabeth, who married Alson B. Bartholomew, of Walling- ford, and died April 23, 1892; and (2) Martha Todd. who married Hon. Henry C. Wooding, of Yalesville, a dairy farmer. Mr. Hall is now serving his sixth year as senior warden of the Episcopal Church, of which he has been a vestryman for many years. He is also a member of the Wallingford Grange, and is highly respected in the community. Domestic in his habits, he has led a clean and wholesome life, and believes that the noblest ideals may be largely carried out in our daily acts. He is singularly free from the petty vices that mar social life, has never used tobacco, and has never been under the influence of intoxicants; he has never taken a drink at a bar.
RICHARD MANSFIELD EVERIT, a retired merchant, formerly of the old firm of Hotchkiss Bros. & Co., of New Haven, but more recently of the firm of Burdett & Everit, of New York, who were extensively engaged in foreign trade with Europe, the West Indies and South America, has long been one of New Haven's leading citizens.
Born April 9. 1824, in the old Mansfield home- stead-the home of his maternal ancestors, which stood in Grand avenue, a little east of the Mill river bridge and which was purchased by his father- Mr. Everit is the son of the late Capt. Richard and Sarah ( Mansfield) Everit. The former was a son of William Everit, a soldier of the Revolution and a descendant of one of the earliest settlers of Long Island, while the latter was descended from one of New Haven's early planters.
William Everit. seeing the British land on Long Island. immediately went with two others to the house of the commanding officer. Capt. Woodhull. to notify him of the landing. While they were in the house it was surrounded by British troops, and the captain of the British demanded the surrender

of Capt. Woodhull ; the latter gave up his sword to the British officer, who thereupon ran him through with it. During the excitement William Everit and his companions escaped through the window and hid under the floor of the barn. They were located by the British and made prisoners of war, being confined where the old post-office was in Nassau street. New York. Mr. Everit made his escape from the prison through the aid of his wife, who was in the habit of bringing him provisions each week. The day of his escape she brought him a suit of clothes instead of provisions, and after donning them he mingled with the visitors, and so escaped, rejoining the Colonists.
Capt. Richard Everit was born in New York City Dec. 23, 1772. He became a ship master, com- manding packet ships trading between New York and Holland, London and Bristol, England, and also made voyages to other European ports, the West Indies and South America. The second American vessel which visited Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, now a great hide exporting place, was com- manded by him. Capt. Everit's life in some respects was remarkable. He began going to sea at the age of eleven years, and followed a sea-faring life until he was fifty, when he retired to New Haven and lived there for forty years. During his whole life he never drank a glass of rum, gin or brandy, a remarkable circumstance considering his occupation and the habits and customs of his class and the times. Being of a kindly and genial disposition, he had many friends, and few, if any, enemies. He died March 4, 1863. in New Haven.
On March 31, 1811, Capt. Everit was married to Elizabeth Mansfield, who was born Jan. 27, 1780, daughter of William Mansfield, of New Haven. She died March 28, 1818, and Capt. Everit mar- ried, Feb. 6, 1820, her sister Sarah, who was born April 4. 1791. Mrs. Sarah Everit died July 23, 1875. One son came to the first marriage, Phineas, born Dec. 7, 1812, who died unmarried Sept. IS, 1854, in New York. The children of the second marriage were: Elizabeth, born Jan. 15, 1822, died July 7, 1822: Richard Mansfield is mentioned be- low; William Lyon, born Oct. 21, 1826, married July 28, 1853. Adelaide Prescott Frink ; Mary Mer- cein, born Feb. 7, 1829, married. Aug. 4, 1851, John H. Coley, who for many years was a leading dry-goods merchant in New Haven.
Richard Mansfield Everit was educated in the schools of New Haven and vicinity, attending the John E. Lovell Lancasterian School, the school kept by S. A. Thomas, and the old Fair Haven Academy, an excellent institution, then kept by Joshua Pearl. Young Everit prepared for college, but sickness at the time prevented him from com- mencing a college course, and he entered upon his business career, beginning Feb. 1, 1841, as a clerk under the late Charles H. Oaks. After remaining with Mr. Oaks a little less than five years, and going, during the latter part of his stay, on business for
the first time to the West Indies, he became the agent of the Peck Bros .- Nathan, Wyllys and Henry E .- of New Haven, for three years. After this experience he associated with J. A. Bishop, and entered upon his first business venture on his own account. For seven years he spent a large part of his time in the West Indies, where nearly all the New Haven trade was then concentrated. In 1851 he became associated with Russel, Henry O. and Edward Hotchkiss, who were the successors of their father on Long Wharf. Early in that year he embarked for Brazil on a business inspecting tour, to ascertain what might be done in a business line. At Para, on the Amazon, a place then but little known to Americans, he remained some eighteen months, and there established a good trade. This enterprise was the means of introducing into that region many articles of American growth and pro- duction, which were before wholly unknown. On returning from Brazil, Mr. Everit became a part- ner in the house of Hotchkiss Bros. & Co., which relations he continued until 1860. Desiring a larger field of operation than New Haven afforded, and for other reasons, he went to New York City, and there with Charles P. Burdett formed a partnership under the title of Burdett & Everit, which continued for nine or ten years, the firm building up a large and profitable business with Brazil, the West Indies and Europe.
In 1869 in the very prime of life and in the full tide of prosperity, Mr. Everit, at the early age of forty-five, retired from business, solely in con- sequence of ill health. Returning to New Haven, he established for himself a beautiful and charming home, located on a level plateau, on the east side of Whitney avenue, only half a mile distant and in full and grand view of the precipitous front of East Rock, the park itself extending nearly to his grounds. Here he is enjoying with his family the fruits of a well-spent life, and dispenses a generous hospitality to his many friends. Mr. Everit is en- terprising and public-spirited, as is evidenced in the appearance of his commodious grounds and resi- dence. which add great beauty to the "City of Elms." In 1869 he purchased a large farm about twenty-two miles west from Boston, in what is now the flourishing town of South Framingham. This land is laid out for the building of a city, and Mr. Everit has spent a great amount of money and time on the property.
On Feb. 5, 1861, Mr. Everit was married to Miss Mary Talman Lawrence, daughter of Watson E. Lawrence, of New York, and Augusta Maria ( Nicoll) Lawrence, of New Haven, and children as follows have been born to them: Richard Law- rence, of South Framingham, Mass .; Emma Au- gusta, deceased; Arthur Mansfield, of Buffalo, N. Y .: Annie Coley. wife of Dr. L. S. De Forest ; and Edward Hotchkiss, at this writing superintendent of Equipment of the Southern New England Tele- phone Co.

EDWIN AUGUSTUS HOTCHKISS, who passed away Dec. 16, 1883, ranked among the lead- ing business men and citizens of New Haven in his day, and no man enjoyed to a greater extent the esteem of all with whom he was associated.
Mr. Hotchkiss was born in New Haven Dec. 4, 1835, and was a son of Isaac Thompson Hotchkiss, also a native of that city, where he was long en- gaged in the coal business, becoming a prominent figure in the mercantile circles of the city. He died in 1870. Edwin A. Hotchkiss attended the New Haven schools, also Major Russell's Military Academy-the school in which many of the leading citizens of New Haven have finished their literary training. After reaching his mature years he was associated with his father in the coal business, which after the death of that honored gentleman he carried on with his brother, David T. Hotch- kiss, until his death. He was one of the largest dealers in coal in the city, and took a high position in mercantile circles by reason of his force and strength of character, backed by executive ability, good judgment and the strictest integrity.

The com- fortable and attractive home, which Mrs. Hotchkiss now occupies, at No. 1226 Chapel street, was erected by her father. Col. Joseph Parker, and is one of the most imposing in this city of elegant homes. Edwin A. Hotchkiss, the father, was a man far above the average in qualities of both head and heart. Though an able business man and inflexible in the discharge of his duties. he was kindness itself to all with whom he came in contact in any of the relations of life. and especially in his own home. where he was ever regarded as the model husband and father.
