NANCY.
NANCY BARNES, daughter of Selah (41), b. April 5, 1808; m. Oct. 17, 1832, Isaac Burritt. They live on what is known as the Allen Barnes place.
Mr. Burritt was born in New Britain, May 30, 1808, and is the son of Elihu and Elizabeth Hinsdale (Bidwell) Burritt. When a youth he sat under the ministry of Rev. John Smalley, D.D., whose teachings he well remembers, and was at his bedside when he died. He attended the common school, but his desire for knowledge was not satisfied in this narrow sphere. While learning and working at his trade, he steadily improved himself by reading and study. He became an apprentice of his brother-in-law, Warren Williams, at shoemaking, removing to Southington for this purpose, when nineteen years old. Here he met Jesse Olney, and the "twain " were instrumental in estab- lishing and sustaining, for years, a Lyceum. He soon began teaching, and had schools for successive seasons in Southington, Bristol, and Kensington. August 10, 1834, he united with the Congregational church in this town, and was for many years on the Standing Com- mittee. In the town he has served as School Visitor, Selectman, and Justice of the Peace. On public occasions he is often called out for addresses, and probably has spoken in public more frequently than any one else in the town, the clergy excepted. His "medicine " he claims

1. BRONSON (BROUNSON, BROWNSON).
JOHN BRONSON, of Farmington, was probably born in England, and was an early emigrant to New England. It is thought he was of Mr. Hooker's company, that came from Cambridge to Hartford in 1636, and was a member of Mr. Hooker's church. He was a soldier in the Pequot war of 1637. In 1639 he is not named among the hundred and twenty-seven proprietors of Hartford in the divisions of land made that year, but is mentioned in the same year in the list of settlers who, by the "town's courtesie," had liberty "to fetch wood and keep swine or cowes on the common." His house lot was in the "soldier's field," so called, in the north part of Hartford, on the " Neck Road," where he lived in 1640. When Farmington was settled, about 1640, he soon afterward followed and located there, and was one of the original members of the church organized in 1652, and one of its "seven pillars." His house lot was on a road running out of the village in an easterly direction, and a half mile distant. He was a deputy to the General Court in 1651, and also in later years, and was constable for Farmington, who collected the rate for "ye Fort at Saybrook," in 1652. He died Nov. 28, 1680, leaving an estate of £312.
