In 1882 Mr. Weed began to practice alone, continuing until 1889, in which year the law firm of Weed, Henry & Meyers was organized. Their practice was a general one, and Mr. Weed continued a member of this firm until his death.


In politics Mr. Weed was an independ- ent Democrat, and although he gave much time to public speaking and took an ac- tive interest in affairs of civic importance, he did not seek to hold public office.

MARSHALL, Alfred Wilkinson Walton, Banker.


The qualities of sound principle and singleness of purpose are revealed in the life of Alfred W. W. Marshall, vice-pres- ident of the Greenwich Trust Company. He has devoted his interests to one line of work, and as a result now holds an im- portant executive position in that work. Mr. Marshall is a man worthy of confi- dence, and of strong personality. He was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, April I, 1875, son of Joseph Hoyt and Mary Louise (Marshall) Marshall.


The surname of Marshall is one of the most ancient. In fact, we find mention of it in "Canterbury Tales," which also gives an inkling of its origin :


And with that word, he gan unto hyme calle A squier, that was marchal of his halle.


It is formed from the word (old Eng- lish) marah, meaning horse, and scalh, signifying keeper or caretaker. It is a name, then, belonging to the class known as occupational, and was early assumed by one who was in charge of the king's horses, or in some way connected with the royal hunts.


(I) Gilbert Marshall, the ancestor of this family, was, according to family tra- dition, one of three brothers who came to America from Scotland in 1750. His name is first found on Greenwich, Con- necticut, records, in the tax list of 1769. On December 30th of that year, land in Coscob, Connecticut, is conveyed by Ste- phen Marshall to Andrew and Gilbert Marshall of the same place. The names of these men appear on the tax lists for a number of succeeding years. Accord- ing to the probate records in Stamford, Connecticut, Gilbert Marshall died in 1795; he married Sarah Brown. Gilbert Marshall was known as "Captain Jack," and ran a boat between Coscob and New York. He served in the Revolution as corporal in Captain Abraham Mead's company (the Sixth) 9th Regiment, Con- necticut Militia.


(II) Stephen Marshall, son of Gilbert and Sarah (Brown) Marshall, was born April 22, 1783, and died June 30, 1835. He married, November 1, 1807, Pamelia Bush Mead, daughter of Captain Mat- thew and Mary (Bush) Mead (see Bush and Mead lines). She was born January 21, 1784, and died February 8, 1857.


(III) Gilbert (2) Marshall, son of Ste- phen and Pamelia Bush (Mead) Mar- shall, was born in Greenwich, Connecti- cut, November 3, 1809, and died March 8, 1892, at Port Chester, New York. For a time he was engaged in the retail shoe business with his cousin, Matthew Mead, under the firm name of Marshall & Mead. He was one of the founders, November

14, 1843, of the Greenwich Methodist Episcopal Church. He was active in church work until the end of his life. He removed to Port Chester, and there en- gaged in the shoe business with his son- in-law, under the firm name of Marshall & Betts. He married (first), October 22, 1834, Deborah Bouton Hoyt, born July 13, 1813, died January II, 1876, daughter of Joseph Bouton and Thankful (Bene- dict) Hoyt, of New Canaan, Connecticut (see Hoyt line).


(IV) Joseph Hoyt Marshall, son of Gilbert (2) and Deborah Bouton (Hoyt) Marshall, was born in Greenwich, Con- necticut, February 6, 1839. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Greenwich, and on completing his courses there en- tered a dry goods store as a clerk. For several years he was thus occupied, but an opportunity presenting itself to pur- chase a bakery Mr. Marshall took advan- tage of it, conducting it very profitably in partnership with his brother, Stephen Marshall, for several years. About 1870 Mr. Marshall accepted a position as book- keeper with Russell, Burdsall & Ward, manufacturers of nuts, bolts, etc., of Greenwich. He later became paymaster, which position he now holds. He has been associated with this company for almost half a century, and is one of their valued and trusted employees.


Mr. Marshall married, September 10, 1860, Mary Louise Marshall, daughter of John Ennis and Susan Morgan (Covert) Marshall, who was born at West Farms, New York, May 12, 1841 (see Marshall line). The children of Joseph Hoyt and Mary Louise (Marshail) Marshall were: Howard Ellsworth, born March 11, 1862, married Mary E. Melville: Mary Edith, died in infancy ; Jessie Amanda, born No- vember 3, 1866; Susan Mary, born March 15, 1869, married June 5, 1901, Joseph Haight, Jr .; Alfrew W. W., of further


mention ; Joseph H., died in infancy ; Ze- tella Josephine, died in infancy ; Chester Arthur, died in infancy.


(V) Alfred W. W. Marshall, son of Jo- seph Hoyt and Mary Louise (Marshall) Marshall, was educated in the public schools of Port Chester, New York. In 1890 he entered the First National Bank of that city as a messenger, remaining in the employ of this institution for six- teen years, rising through the various grades until he was made teller. He held that position until 1906, and in the latter year resigned to accept the position of secretary of the Greenwich Trust Com- pany, which office he still holds. Later, Mr. Marshall was made vice-president of this institution, and he is discharging the duties incumbent on these two offices in a most commendable manner. Through- out the early years of his bank service he was always alert to learn every detail of the business, and retained his knowledge. As time went on and positions entailing greater responsibilities were offered him, he was able to accept them and fill them creditably.


In the public life of his community, Mr. Marshall has ever been interested. He is a member of the Republican party, and has several times been honored with po- litical office. For two terms he served as clerk of the town of Rye. During the World War, 1917-18, when men of ex- ecutive ability and keen minds were in such demand, Mr. Marshall freely gave of his experience and time in the Liberty Loan work. He served as chairman of four of the five drives, which in itself is sufficient warrant of his ability. He was also actively identified with many other phases of the war work.


Socially, Mr. Marshall is a member of Mamaro Lodge, No. 653, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, of Port Chester, New York, of which he is past master; is a


413


ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY


member of the Past Masters' Association of the Twelfth Masonic District; and is past high priest of Anmour Chapter, No. 292, Royal Arch Masons, of Port Chester, which he helped to organize. He is also a member of the New York Consistory and the Mecca Shrine; the Azim Grotto; and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Port Chester ; he was organ- izer and served as treasurer of the latter organization for several years. Other social activities of Mr. Marshall's include membership in the Greenwich Country Ciub, which he serves as treasurer; is a member and secretary of the Indian Har- bor Yacht Club; and the New York Ath- letic Club. His chief recreation is found in hunting and fishing, and he is a mem- ber of several rod and gun clubs, includ- ing the Red Spot Fishing Club, of Upton, Maine; and River Hill Fishing Club, of Greenwich, Connecticut.


Mr. Marshall married Edith B. Walsh, daughter of Hon. Robert Jay Walsh. They were the parents of a son, Robert Jay Walsh Marshall, born August 20, 1906. Mrs. Marshall died February 4, 1910.

SHERWOOD, Harry R., Lawyer, Public Official.


There is a half-way point in life where every man hesitates, and it is one of the most difficult moments of decision, for very often success is just around the next turn in the road. Harry R. Sherwood, a leading lawyer and esteemed citizen of Westport, Connecticut, was engaged in various employments before he realized that his career was to be a legal one. The Sherwood family is very old in the annals of Fairfield county, Connecticut, and also has a prominent place in English litera- ture.


(I) David Sherwood, the great-great- grandfather of Harry R. Sherwood, is buried at Greenfield, Connecticut.


(II) Ruel Sherwood, son of David Sherwood, probably settled in Weston from Greenfield, Connecticut, and mar- ried Rachel Beers. The father of Mrs.


Sherwood and her seven brothers were in the Revolutionary War. Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood were the parents of Charles E. Sherwood, of whom further.


(III) Charles E. Sherwood, son of Ruel and Rachel (Beers) Sherwood, was born March 29, 1807, died March 18, 1897. He was engaged in farming, and married Ann Beam. Their children were: I. Henry M., a school teacher early in life and later a furniture dealer in Chicago, Illinois, where he specialized in school furniture ; he married Eliza Gray. 2. Charles W., of whom further. 3. James S. 4. Mary, wife of James Punzelt. 5. Harriet, married James Smibert, of Chicago. 6. John B., who became associated with his brother in the furniture business in Chicago.


(IV) Charles W. Sherwood, son of Charles E. and Ann (Beam) Sherwood, was born in what is now part of the town of Westport, Connecticut, but which was then included in Weston, in July, 1833, and died June 22, 1892. He learned the trade of carpenter, and also was a very thorough mechanic; he did a lot of high grade work in the way of interior finish. A large part of the interior finish of Trin- ity Church was his handiwork. He en- listed in Company C, 28th Regular Con- necticut Volunteer Infantry, in the Civil War, and was in service a year. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Port Hud- son, and taken to Libby Prison, where he was confined for about forty days and then paroled. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Sher- wood married Lois A. Osborn, daughter of John and Anna (Banks) Osborn, and they were the parents of four children, only one of whom grew up. The family were attendants of the Methodist Episco- pal church and contributed to the support of its good works.

ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY


W. and Lois A. (Osborn) Sherwood, was born January 31, 1873, in Westport, Con- necticut, and was educated in the public schools there and in the South Norwalk High School. After three or four years spent in various employments, Mr. Sher- wood entered Yale Law School, from which he was graduated in 1899 and ad- mitted to the bar in June of the same year. He engaged in general practice of his profession, and for two years was in the office of Davenport & Banks, at the same time maintaining an office of his own in Westport.


Mr. Sherwood has actively entered into public matters, and has several times been honored with public office. He was a member of the Legislature in 1915, serv- ing on the judiciary committee. In 1917 he was reëlected, which in itself is suffi- cient warrant of his ability and the con- fidence reposed in him by his constitu- ents, and he again served on the judiciary committee. Two years later he was for a third time honored by his fellow-citi- zens, and was House chairman of the committee on cities and boroughs. In 1921 he was again reelected Representa- tive and served on the judiciary com- mittee.
