On his mother's side Mr. Fitch W. Burwell was descended from Capt. Thomas Tibbals and Thomas Welch, who were among the first planters of the town of Milford, the second settled in the county. "Most of the pioneer settlers of Milford came from Essex, Hereford and York counties, in England, and rendezvoused in New Haven in 1638 and 1639, preparatory to taking up their abode in the We- pawaug country. After the purchase of the lands in the spring of the latter year active preparations were made to occupy and improve them; the body

of planters moved by land from New Haven, fol- lowing the Indian footpaths, driving their domestic animals before them. Sergeant Thomas Tibbals piloted the company through the woods to the destination, 'he having been there a number of times before.' For this service the town, in 1670, voted him as a free gift two parcels of land lying in West- field, 'both parcels containing ten measured acres.'' The names of both Capt. Tibbals and Thomas Welch appear on the first list of the forty-four freemen or pioneer planters of Milford. "Matters had so far progressed by Nov. 20, 1639, that a meet- ing for civil organization and regulation was held, when forty-four persons, by reason of being ac- cepted church members, were recognized as free planters, having a free voice in the town's affairs."
Thomas Welch was one of the founders of the Milford Church in 1639, was a freeman in 1665, and a representative to the General Court that same year. He had married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Buckingham. Mr. Welch died in 1681, and his widow in 1684. Captain Tibbals died in 1703. The memory of both is perpetuated in the stone bridge at Milford, erected and dedicated in 1889, on the occasion of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of the town. Savage says that Thomas Tibbals, aged twenty, had embarked in the "Trulove" in 1635, the last ship in that year from London. He was a soldier in the Pequot war, 1637.

WILLIAM D. RICHARDSON, manager of the Hellmann Brewing Co., Waterbury, was born in Ansonia, Conn., March 6, 1865, a son of Charles J. and Grace ( Parmelee) Richardson, the former of whom was born on shipboard, and the latter in Ansonia.
When a young man Charles J. Richardson lo- cated in Ansonia, where he followed the trade of brass roller. He married Grace Parmelee, of English descent, who bore him two children, Will- iam D. and Mae L., the latter of whom is mar- ried to Rowland Greenwood and resides in New Haven. Charles J. Richardson and his wife are now living in quiet retirement in New Haven.
William D. Richardson passed his boyhood days in Ansonia, and was educated in the public schools. At fifteen years of age he entered a clothing store as clerk, and held that position until 1883, when he went to San Francisco, Cal., and there for two and a half years filled a similar position. Return- ing to Connecticut, he clerked in a clothing store in Danbury two and a half years, and then came to Waterbury and formed a partnership with F. E. Hartwell, in the clothing trade, at No. 113 Bank street. They carried on a lucrative business at that locality for two years, and then for a like period were located in another part of the city.
On Nov. 27, 1889, Mr. Richardson married Miss Emilie Hellmann, a daughter of Martin Hell- mann, the head of the Hellmann Brewing Co., and to this union have been born two children, Lillian and Gladys. Not long after this marriage took place Mr. Hellmann was called away by death. and his widow, with the assistance of her son William and Mr. Richardson, conducted the busi- ness tintil 1895, when a joint stock company was formed, of which Mrs. Hellmann became presi- dent ; William Hellmann, vice-president ; and Mr. Richardson, secretary and treasurer. Since the creation of the stock company the output has in- creased from 17,000 to 45,000 barrels per annum, and is shipped all over the State of Connecticut, as well as elsewhere. The plant is immense, and turns out three varieties of ale, and five of lager beer, in the manufacture and handling of which about fifty men are employed.
In politics Mr. Richardson is a Democrat, but has never been an office seeker. He is a man of splendid physical appearance, and is extremely popular. and, being of a free and generous dis- position, is a general favorite in the community, and is a member of all the local fraternal and so- : cial societies, including Nosahogan Lodge, I. O.

(of which he was Exalted Ruler one year), and all the sing- ing societies-in fact about twenty associations in all. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Rich- ardson for the success he has made for himself, for he has proven that "life is worth living." He began without a cent at the bottom of the hill on the summit of which stands the temple of fortune, and he has proven his ability as a business man, setting an example to the impecunious of the rising generation well worthy of emulation.
LEWELLYN DEANE, whose death in Garfield Hospital, Washington, D. C., Sept. 17, 1894, at the age of sixty-six, removed one of the able patent attorneys of the Capitol City, was one of those who pass untarnished through the business world, their characters strong enough to overcome the tempta- tions that beset their paths. He was one of nine children born to his father, who was a lawyer, and to his mother, daughter of Judge Paddlefoot.
Mr. Deane was born in Brunswick, Maine, and received his education in Bowdoin College. After leaving school he went to Washington, where he engaged in the Patent Law Business, and for the re- mainder of his life was thus employed. He took a deep interest in religious matters, and was a prom- inent worker in the Church at the corner of Tenth and G streets, Washington-a church that is now in a most flourishing condition.
Mr. Deane was twice married. His first wife, formerly Mrs. Rich, died leaving a son, Dr. F. G. Deane, now a leading citizen of Williamsport, Penn. On May 17, 1894, Mr. Deane wedded Sarah M. Benedict, who was born in New Haven, a daughter of Henry W. Benedict. No children were born of this union.
Truman Benedict, grandfather of Mrs. Deane, was one of the early coal merchants in this section of the State, in which line he engaged as early as 1830. He died at the age of eighty years, a highly esteemed citizen, and of the large family of children | born to himself and wife, but one is now living- George, who is in the coal business in New Haven.
E. Hemingway, of East Haven, a daughter of Capt. John Hemingway, who ran the first packet from New York to New Haven. Four children were born of this union: Henry, in the wholesale coal business in New Haven; Mrs. Deane; Frank, of the firm of Benedict & Downs, coal merchants; and! Mrs. George I. Fowler, whose husband is engaged in the real-estate business on Long Island. The mother of these passed away at the age of seventy- one.
Mrs. Deane is one of the popular ladies in her social set in New Haven, and is greatly beloved by all who know her. Beautiful in character, and humanitarian in tendency, she has been the fairy godmother to many a struggler on life's pathway. In her religious belief, she is a member of the Con- gregational Church.

JOHN ALONZO LEEDS is one of the solid and substantial citizens of Meriden, where his hon- orable and industrious career and his well-estab- lished integrity have given him an enviable standing. For nineteen years he was a machinist in the em- ploy of the Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Company, and since 1880 has served as constable and city sheriff of Meriden, and has been a special policeman for twenty-four years.
John A. Leeds was born in Vernon, Tolland county, Conn., Aug. 20, 1841, and is a son of Don Alonzo and Eliza Ann ( Minard) Leeds, natives of Connecticut. On the paternal side he is de- scended from one of the first families of Stoning- ton, Conn., whose ancestors came from Leeds, England, and on the maternal side he is a repre- sentative of the Gates family, a long-lived race of people, the emigrating ancestor of whom located in Salem, Connecticut.
Don Alonzo Leeds was in his earlier life super- intendent of a woolen mill in Talcottville, and later was engaged in the same capacity in Rockville. In 1856 he removed with his family to Yalesville, where he was employed by Charles Parker in the spcon department of his factory, and at a later period was with G. I. Mix, in the same line. In 1857 he came to Meriden to take a position with Edward Miller as a brass turner, and two years later entered the employ of Stedman & Smith, as a machinist in their sewing machine factory. For seven years he was employed by Charles Parker as a machinist. He retired in 1806, and died two years later. His children were two in number, Mary, the deceased wife of Russell Williams, and John A., whose name introduces this review.
Henry W. Benedict, son of Truman, and father of Mrs. Deane, was reared in the city of New Haven, and received his education in the common schools. He was early thrown upon his own resources, and with practically no influential or financial backing, became one of the prominent men of the times, and was for many years the most extensive coal dealer in the city. He took an active part in Church af- fairs, being a communicant of St. Paul's Episcopal John A. Leeds was educated in the public schools and in the Meriden Academy, from which he was graduated in 1860. In 1859, while still in school, he began his apprenticeship at the ma- chinist trade, but his progress therein was inter- rupted by the troubled times of the Civil war. He enlisted in the Union Army, Sept. 6, 1861, and Church, of which he was for some time a most ef- ficient warden. Through his instrumentality St. Paul's Mission was started, and he did much good work for that branch of his own parish. He was an extensive dealer in real estate, and from time to time a number of important pieces of city prop- erty passed through his hands. He married Sarah , was mustered into the service as a member of

Company C, 7th Conn. Vol. Infantry. He par- ticipated in the battle of Port Royal, the bombard- ment of Fort Pulaski, the battle of Pocataligo, and other important events, and in December, 1863, before his term had expired, he re-enlisted as a veteran in the same company and regiment. He was in the front of battle at Drury's Bluff, and June 2, 1864, was taken prisoner on the picket line at Bermuda Hundred, and sent to Andersonville, where he remained three months, and was then re- moved to the Stockade at Florence, S. C. Three months later he was paroled, and reached home Dec. 16, 1864, weighing only ninety-six pounds. March 26, 1865, he was exchanged, and hastened to rejoin his regiment, from which he was dis- charged July 25, 1865. After the war Mr. Leeds at once applied himself to the completion of the trade so capably applied in the succeeding years.
Nov. 28, 1867, Mr. Leeds was married to Edith L., a daughter of John L. and Hannah ( Kenworthy) Kinder, of Meriden, and to them was born two sons, Fred A. and Frank H. Mrs. Leeds died March 18, 1895, and tender memories of her af- fection and devotion as a wife and mother remain in the hearts of her family and friends. Mr. Leeds belongs to the Episcopal Church of Meriden, and fraternally he is a member of Meridian Lodge, No. 77, A. F. & A. M., at Meriden, of which he was master in 1882; and of Columbia Lodge, No. 5, O. U. A. M .; and, as might be expected, when his long and creditable military experience is consid- ered, of Merriam Post, No. 8, G. A. R. In his polit- ical relations he is a decided Republican.
JUDGE EDWIN BAKER GAGER, lawyer, of the firm of Williams & Gager, at Birmingham, in the town of Derby, and instructor in Yale Law School, New Haven, has throughout his practice, covering a period of twenty and more years, been a member of one of the strongest and most suc- cessful law firms of the State, successively Wooster, Torrance & Gager, Wooster, Williams & Gager, and, since the recent death of Col. Wooster, Williams & Gager.
Mr. Gager was born Aug. 30, 1852, in the town of Scotland, Windham Co., Conn., son of Lewis and Harriet (Jennings) Gager, farming people of that town, whose lives and character were such as to command the respect and esteem of the com- munity in which they lived, each descending from old English families of the Colonial period of New England.
William Gager, the progenitor of the New London and Norwich family of the name, from which descended the subject of this sketch, came to New England in 1630, in the fleet with Win- throp. He was elected a deacon in the church at Charlestown, but died in September of the same year from a disease incident to the diet on the voyage, as did also his wife and two of his chil- dren. He seemed to be reckoned by Gov. Win-
throp as one of his family, a Suffolk man, and the former in his will remembered by bequest the lat- ter's son. William Gager is characterized by con- temporary journalists as "a skillful surgeon, a right goodly man, and one of the deacons of the Congre- gational Church."
John Gager, son of William, the settler, re- moved to Saybrook, Conn., with the younger Gov. Winthrop, and thence accompanying his patron to New London, where his name is found on the old- est list of inhabitants extant. He joined the com- pany of Norwich proprietors and removed to the New Plantation in 1600. At New London he had a grant of 200 acres of land from the town, located east of the river, removed to it soon after 1650, and there dwelt until he joined in the settlement of Norwich and removed thither. His home lot in the new town bears date of the oldest surveys, viz. : November, 1659. He served as constable in 1674 and 1688. His wife's Christian name was Elizabeth, and of his nine children six were born in New London. Three only were sons, namely : John, born in 1647, died in 1691 without issue ; Samuel, born in 1654, married in 1695 Rebecca Lay, relict of Daniel Raymond, of New London ; William died when young. John Gager, the fa- ther, died in 1703, after a residence of more than forty years in the town, and at that time Samuel was the only one of his three sons living. In 1693 a portion of the original house lot of eleven and a fraction acres in Norwich was added to the old burying ground on the river side, established in 1661, and here rest the remains of that wealthy pioneer and others of the family. And though the grounds were seldom used for burial purposes after 1700, Samuel Gager requested that he be buried there, and from his tombstone, which was standing in 1825, was taken the following inscription :
"By the Bodies of his Parents Here lies the body of Mr. Samuel Gager. A steady counsellor, a friend of piety ; was an enemy of vice, a lover of pure ยท public worship, and being blessed with long life left the world with a comfortable hope of life eternal, on the IIth day of June, 1740. In the 86th year of his linage."
William Gager, son of Samuel, born in 1704, was graduated from Yale in 1721, and in 1725 was settled as pastor of the Church in Lebanon. He died in 1739.
So much for the early generations of the Gager family. On the mother's side our subject is de- scended from Jonathan Jennings or Ginnings, an early settler of Norwich, who had land granted hint in that town in 1677 and other grants in 1684. He was made a freeman at the first town meeting ever held in the town of Ancient Windham, and at the tinie when there were but twenty-two freemen in the town. Windham was incorporated a town May

9, 1693, and the first town meeting was held May 30, 1693. Mr. Jennings was a land surveyor, and with Jonah Palmer assisted the legatees of Ungar in surveying and laying out a portion of the lands from the west Canterbury line to the east Mans- field line, when that territory was first surveyed and numbered. He was a wealthy man for that day, owning a number of 100-acre tracts of land. He was born about 1053, married ( first ) Susan- nah, who died in 1700, (second) in 1701 Mary Howard, who died in 1703, ( third) in 1703 Han- nah, widow of John Abbe, who died in 1725, and ( fourth) Elizabeth. A daughter, Hannah, born Feb. 15, 1689, says the late William L. Weaver, in his Genealogies of Ancient Windham, was the first white child born in the town. A son Ebenezer, born Feb. 18, 1601, says the inscription on his tombstone, was the first male child born in Wind- ham. Jonathan Jennings died in 1733.
Edwin B. Gager, the subject proper of this sketch, was reared on his father's farm in the town of Scotland, Conn., and his boyhood was passed much in the accustomed manner of the lads of the general farmer-working on the farm in season and devoting the winters to study in the neighbor- ing district schools. He was thus employed till seventeen years of age, and gathered from farm life a good stock of health and practical sense for use in after years. At seventeen he began to pre- pare for college at the Natchaug School, Will- imantic. He became self-reliant, and taught school in Hampton and Abington to gain funds for further study. After completing his preparation for college he taught school in East Hampton for one year. Following this experience he entered the Academic Department of Yale University, and during his course there taught school two terms. He so distinguished himself in the University that he received several honors open to students. He was one of the editors of the "Yale Courant," one of the Townsend speakers, and class orator of the class of 1877. He was one of the competitors for prizes in English composition in both the Sopho- more and Senior years, and won high honors both years. For four years following his graduation he was principal of the Ansonia public schools. During the first of those four years he pursued post-graduate studies in history at Yale, and dur- ing the other three law studies under the direction of Wooster & Torrance, of Birmingham, in the town of Derby, having been entered in the second year of his public duty as a student at law in the office of the law firm named. In July, 1881, he went into the office of those gentlemen, and was admitted to the Bar of Connecticut in October fol- lowing.
