STILLMAN BASSETT DOOLITTLE, a suc- cessful farmer of Pond Hill, Wallingford, was born on the old family homestead on Pond Hill Nov. 15, 1841.


Abraham Doolittle, our subject's emigrant an- cestor, was the progenitor of all who bear the name in this country. He and his brother John were in Massachusetts at a very early day. John died child- less. Abraham Doolittle was in New Haven before 1642, and was the owner of a house. In 1644 he took the freeman's oath, and was made the chief executive officer (or sheriff) of the county. He was chosen by the people of New Haven as one of the committee to superintend the affairs of the new settlement, then ( 1669) just commenced at the village. The name of the village was changed to Wallingford, and it was incorporated May 12, 1670, by an act of the General Court, then sitting at Hart- ford. Abraham Doolittle was one of the first to set- tle in the place, and was there some two or three years before the incorporation. He died Aug. 1I, 1690, aged seventy.


Abraham Doolittle (2), son of Abraham, was born Feb. 12, 1649, and died in 1732, aged eighty- three years.


Samuel Doolittle (I), son of Abraham (2), was born March 14, 1698.


Samuel Doolittle (2), son of Samuel (I), was born Feb. 28, 1725.


Samuel Doolittle (3), son of Samuel (2), was born April 11, 1749.


Chauncey Doolittle, Sr., son of Samuel (3), was born in 1777 in Wallingford, and died May 17, 1833, in his fifty-sixth year. He was a wagon-maker by trade, had a shop at Pond Hill, and supplied the surrounding country for a wide extent with his wares. His trade included joiner work, and he also farmed his estate, continuing in the active perform- ance of his duties until his death. Mr. Doolittle was well known, and no man was more highly re- spected. His political convictions made him a Dem- ocrat, and he was one of the pillars of the M. E. Church in Wallingford.


Chauncey Doolittle, Jr., son of Chauncey, Sr., was born July 2, 1810, at Pond Hill, and lived out his exemplary life in this quiet village, dying Feb. 15. 1854. Like his father. he was a member of the Democratic party. He worked as an apprentice un- til he became of age ( 1831). and was subsequently employed at his trade by Jared Mansfield, in North Haven, until about the time of his marriage, when he returned to the old homestead. On Dec. 28. 1834, he married Betsey Bassett, of North Haven, daugh- ter of Joel and Betsey Bassett, and they became the


parents of three children: Jannette, born Oct. 17, 1836, died Jan. 1, 1837. Stillman Bassett is our subject. Sophronia, born July 2, 1844, died July II. 1860. Mrs. Doolittle made her home with her only son until her death, on June 1, 1894, when she was aged cighty years, eleven days.


As a loving and tinselfish mother, as a Christian woman and a kind sympathizing friend, she set an example worthy of record. Her religious con- nection was with the Congregational Church.


Stillman Bassett Doolittle was educated in the common schools, and grew to manhood on the farm, to which he has devoted the greater portion of his time during many years. Agriculture inter- ests him, and he has found a general line of farming quite profitable. He has also been quite successful in breeding good cattle from poor stock.


The death of his mother was a severe blow to Mr. Doolittle. as, beyond everything, he was a de- voted son. Her last years were made comfortable through his loving care. Probably there is no more highly esteemed citizen in his part of Wallingford than Stillman Bassett Doolittle.
