married, October 16, 1735, for his fourth wife, Eunice Dickenson, who was born July 22, 1708, and died May 21, 1770, and was the daughter of Eliphalet Dickenson. He was born in 1676; married November 24, 1697, Rebecca, daughter of Jacob Brunson, of Farmington. He died Sep- tember 9, 1733, and his widow on May 2, 1755, aged seventy-six. His estate was appraised at six hundred and thirty-three pounds, one shilling, and one penny. His father, Sergeant Obadiah Dickenson, was born in 1641; went to Hadley, Massachu- setts, with his father in 1650; served in King Philip's War. His hotel was burned by the Indians; he was wounded, and with his children, held captive by the Indians. Eventually, however, he escaped, in Canada, and in 1679 returned to Weth- ersfield, where, with his second wife, he joined the church in 1694. In 1687-88, he received a grant of land ; he was con- stable at that time. His second wife was Mehitable Hinsdale, of Hadley, or Hatfield, Massachusettts. She died prior to 1702, his decease occurring on June 10, 1698. His estate was valued at six hundred and seventy-eight pounds, eight shillings, and eight pence.


His father, Nathaniel Dickenson, who settled in Wethersfield at an early date, was the son of William and Sarah (Stacey) Dickenson, of Ely, Cambridge- shire, England, where he was born in 1600. He married Anna Gull, and in 1634 came to Watertown with his wife and three children. Subsequently, two or three years later, he removed to Weth- ersfield, where he became a prominent member of the community. He was juryman, October 14, 1642; was ap- pointed town clerk, December 1, 1645. The first town vote, in the first Wethers- field records, is in his handwriting. He was deputy to the General Court, in John Francis, who married Eunice 1646-56; townsman, 1647-48. His home- Dickenson, was the owner and landlord


stead was recorded to him in 1649. In October, 1654, he was one of three ap- pointed to constitute a committee to con- sider and advise with the constables of the three river towns regarding "press- ing men for the expedition into the Nine- gret Country," in the Narragansett War. He was one of the founders of Hadley, and a leader of the movement which consumated in the establishment of that place, and in the ultimate settlement held many administrative offices of import- ance. He was the first town clerk, was town assessor and magistrate. He joined the Hampshire troop, in 1663, when it was organized under Captain Pyncheon. He was one of the projectors of the Hop- kins Academy, and was on the first board of trustees. As one of the two repre- sentatives of the planters, he signed, on October 29, 1663, the final settlement with Major Pyncheon, for the Hadley tract. Stiles says of him: "In both com- munities, Wethersfield and Hadley, he was justly esteemed as an upright, intel- ligent, active and capable citizen, bearing well his share in the labors, privations and dangers incident to a frontier life. Worn out at last by these, especially those incurred in the defence of Hadley, and the Indian War of 1675-76, and de- pressed by the tragic loss of his three sons in that strife, he died June 16, 1676, a noble example of Puritan godliness and manly loyalty to duty." The genealogy of Nathaniel Dickenson is clear for four- teen generations to Walter de Caen, a kinsman and companion of William the Conqueror. Walter de Caen married the daughter of the last Saxon lord of Ken- son, and was afterwards known as Wal- ter de Kenson. The family bore a coat- of-arms, with the motto, Esse quam videri, i. e., "to be, rather than to seem to be."

of the "Wethersfield Inn." Famed for his hurculean strength and physical en- durance, be became a factor of prom- inence in the community. He died on September 19, 1749. He was the son of John Francis, and grandson of Robert Francis, who was recorded in Wethers- field annals in the year 1645 (see Stanley line hereof).


Deacon Ebenezer Stillman, who mar- ried Rhoda Francis, was a prosperous and industrious shoemaker. He was choir- master of the Wethersfield church, from 1813 until his death, December 11, 1854. "He was a genial and lovable man."


His father, Captain Joseph Stillman, was born October 21, 1739; married (first) in 1760, Sarah, daughter of Timo- thy and Sarah (Walker) Wright. He resided in the hotel he had inherited from his father, and grandfather, George Still- man. In 1714, it was known as the "Man- sion House," and was destined to become prominently historic, as having housed General Washington when, during the Revolution, he came to Wethersfield, and at this house (referred to by some as Stillman's Tavern) he gave a dinner to his friends. Captain Stillman died Janu- ary 17, 1794. His wife, Sarah, died De- cember 21, 1780, aged forty.


Captain Nathaniel Stillman, father of Captain Joseph Stillman, was born July I, 1691. His second wife was Sarah, daughter of Captain Joseph and Sarah (Doty) Allyn, formerly of Plymouth. Sarah Allyn was a granddaughter of Edward Doty, of the "Mayflower." Cap- tain Allyn was a successful merchant, possessing a business of much volume. His daughter, Sarah, was born in Weth- ersfield, August 17, 1708. In 1740, Cap- tain Stillman was appointed quartermas- ter of Connecticut Troop, and in the same year became its captain. He died Janu- ary I, 1770, leaving an estate appraised


at seventeen hundred and ninety-three pounds. His widow died March 4, 1794, aged eighty-five.


His father, "Mr." George Stillman, the progenitor of the American lines of this family, was born probably in Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England, about 1654. Before his immigration, he was by trade a merchant tailor, and the first American record relating to him is in the annals of the Hadley settlement, where he was one of three men who were tendered the dis- tinctive appellation of "Mr." Well edu- cated, enterprising, and possessed of some wealth at the outset, he is reputed to have eventually become the richest man in Hadley. He was elected several times to the office of selectman. and in 1698 represented the town in the Massachu- setts General Court. He is stated to have kept a hotel, which probably was that owned by his wife's father, Lieutenant Philip Smith. It was a stockaded house, and had a hiding place behind the chim- ney. There the regicide judges, Goffe and Whalley, were secreted during their stay in Hadley, at the time of King Philip's War. Owing to the dangers to which his family were exposed, and possibly because of his wealth, he was persuaded that Wethersfield was a more desirable place of residence. So, to Wethersfield he went, a factor of some importance in this connection probably being the fact that the relatives of his second wife lived in Wethersfield. In that town, shortly after his removal from Hadley, George Stillman established himself in mercan- tile business, which soon expanded into a considerable volume of trading by him, not only locally, but internationally. He developed an extensive trade in horses, rum, molasses, et cetera, shipping these to buyers in the West Indies. His store was stocked much more completely than were the majority of country town stores

in those days, his inventory including such items as dress goods, velvets, silks, pins and hardware. He owned some Indian slaves which he gave to his daugh- ters when they married. He served as juror in 1705, and as selectman in 1706. He died in 1728, leaving an estate of four thousand, four hundred and thirty-six pounds, twelve shillings, and six pence. His second wife was Rebecca, daughter of Lieutenant Philip Smith. She died October 7, 1650, aged eighty-two.


The family name is of much antiq- uity, originating in England, where the branches of the family became known under names deviating somewhat from the original; among the variations were Styleman and Stileman. On May 6. 1652, the Stillmans, of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England, were granted a coat- of-arms, as follows: Sable, a unicorn, passant, or; on a chief of the second, three billets of the first. Crest, a camel's head erased, azure billette, muzzled, col- lared, lined and ringed, or; on the collar three harts. Supporters, Dexter, a stag argent, with a lion's forepaws and tail, collared ; sinister, a lion, gules. Motto, Milii parta tueri.


CLARK, Horace,


Agriculturist.


The surname Clark is representative of one of the oldest families of New Eng- land and the early Massachusetts Bay colonies, and is very frequently encount- ered in the early Colonial records of Con- necticut. The name itself is of great antiquity, having been used in Great Britain as early as the eleventh century.


The Hon. Daniel Clark, son of Joseph Clark, was born in England, September 5, 1622, and when seventeen years of age came to America with his uncle, the Rev. Ephraim Huit. He was a first settler in the town of Windsor and of great prom-


inence there, and held many town offices. He was appointed to sit in "ye great pew," wainscoted for the sitting of mag- istrates. In 1654 he was tax assessor ; secretary of the Colony, 1657 to 1661 ; member of Court of Assistants, 1658 to 1662; commander, 1662, and captain of Colonial Troops, 1664. Daniel Clark may be rightfully called "the grandfather of Governors." His stepson, Roger Wol- cott, became Governor, and married the granddaughter of Mr. Clark. Their son, Oliver Wolcott, was Governor of Con- necticut, and in turn his son, Oliver Wol- cott, was Governor, 1817 to 1827. Roger Wolcott, a descendant of the aforesaid, was Governor of Massachusetts, and an- other descendant, Clark Bissell, was Gov- ernor of Connecticut, 1847 to 1849. Ursula Wolcott, daughter of Roger Wol- cott, married Matthew Griswold, Gov- ernor of Connecticut, and no less than ten of their descendants were governors in their turn. Daniel Clark died August 12, 1710. He married, June 13, 1644, Mary Newberry, born in 1626, daughter of Thomas and Jane Newberry, of My- pen, Devonshire, England, and she died August 29, 1688, in Dorchester.


Their fourth son, Samuel Clark, born July 6, 1661, in Windsor, died October 10, 1736. He married, in 1687, Mehit- able Thrall, born in March, 1664, daugh- ter of Timothy and Sarah (Allyn) Thrall, died in August, 1723.


Their eldest son, Samuel Clark, born in East Granby, November 10, 1688, died November 6, 1749. He married Abigail Owen, born in Simsbury, December 8, 1681, daughter of Josiah Owen.


Their eldest child, Joel Clark, born March 19, 1717, in East Granby, died their October 15, 1777. He married, April 7, 1742, Lydia Forbes, born in 1720, in Simsbury, and died November 15, 1796.


Their second son, Captain Joel Clark,


133

born August 15, 1747, in East Granby, died there January 29, 1809. He married, February 28, 1771, Martha Pinney, born 1747, in Simsbury, and died January 21, 1808, daughter of Abram and Elizabeth (Butler) Pinney.


Their second son, Horace Clark, born in East Granby, October 24, 1781, died December 21, 1842. He married, in 1802, Hannah Forward. She was born April 4, 1785, in East Granby, daughter of Samuel and Susanna (Holcomb) For- ward, and died in 1882. The ancestor, Samuel Forward, came from Devonshire, England, about 1666, and settled in Dan- bury, Connecticut, and two of his sons settled in Granby, Connecticut. His son, Samuel Forward, was born July 23, 1671, and died May 3, 1738. He married De- borah Moore, born May 31, 1677, daugh- ter of Andrew and Sarah (Phelps) Moore. of Windsor, and died August 29, 1734. Their son. Abel Forward, was born November 4, 1710, at Belchertown, Massachusetts, and died in 1766. He married Hannah Phelps, daughter of Ezekiel Phelps. Their son, Samuel For- ward, married Susanna Holcomb, and were the parents of Hannah Forward, who became the wife of Horace Clark, as previously noted.


Their son, Horace Dryden Clark, was born May 22, 1805, in East Granby, Con- necticut, and was a lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio. His death occurred in Smyrna. Delaware, March 21, 1887. He married (first) Cassandra Henderson, of San- dusky, Ohio, and she died May 20, 1839.


Their eldest son, Horace Clark, was born in Elyria, Ohio, August 31, 1836. His early education was obtained in the public schools of his native town, and at the age of nine years he removed to Suf- field, Connecticut, where he lived with his grandmother. There he continued his common school education and later was


a student at the Connecticut Literary Institute in Suffield. Previous to his graduation, at the age of twenty years, he removed again to the West, and con- tinued his studies in his new home, Cleve- land, Ohio. When still very young, he entered his father's office to read law, and in 1860 was admitted to the bar. For a period of three years he practiced law in Cleveland, and at the outbreak of the Civil War, he went to Canada and opened a business college, known as the Bryant & Stratton Business College, and for three years he was resident principal of the school. He then returned to the United States and settled in East Granby. There he purchased a large farm. and engaged in the occupation of farming for the next three years. He then sold his Granby farm and purchased the old Israel Harmon farm in West Suffield. For a quarter of a century Mr. Clark lived on this farm and followed agricultural pur- suits. In order to be nearer to Hartford, he removed to Windsor where, apart from his farm work, he found time to devote to literary pursuits, which he fol- lowed extensively. He wrote and pub- lished a work, "The Life of Jesus Christ." In political affiliations Mr. Clark was a Democrat, and was several times nom- inated by his party for various offices, among them that of State Senator. But the town of Windsor was Republican in a very large majority, and for this rea- son Mr. Clark was not elected. He was a member of Washington Lodge, No. 70, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. Mr. Clark died August 14. 1908.


Mr. Clark married, in East Granby. May 9, 1872, Edna Snow Alderman, born October 28, 1851, daughter of James Har- vey and Sarah Jane (Snow) Alderman. Mr. Alderman was born January 3, 1825. in Chester, Massachusetts, and Sarah Jane (Snow) Alderman, January 24. 1831,

RUSSEGUE, Henry Elmore, M. D., Physician.


"But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which as- sail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises it with caution and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor."


Henry Elmore Russegue, M. D., a member of the estimable profession referred to in the quotation from Vol- taire, was born August 11, 1850, in Franklin, Massachusetts. He received his elementary education in the public schools of that town, and later became a student at Dean Academy, which was a preparatory school for Tufts College located in his native town. At the age


of seventeen, he gave up his academic courses at Dean Academy and went to Boston, Massachusetts, to take a busi- ness position which had been offered him and which he continued to occupy until the advent of the "Boston Fire" of No- vember 9, 1872, when it became necessary for him to seek new employment, as did many hundreds of other young men. Thus in the period following the dis- aster, he was in the employ of one of the Boston wholesale dry goods houses, during which period of service he was daily thrown in contact with a number of the professors, lecturers and students of Boston University School of Medi- cine, and through his association with them he became very much interested in medicine as a profession and occasionally attended some of the lectures at the Med- ical College, and on almost all occasions of his meeting with his college friends and acquaintances he was importuned to study medicine and make its practice his life work. To this suggestion, after advising with his parents, he finally yielded and matriculated at Boston Uni- versity School of Medicine in 1874, tak- ing the full three years' course. At the termination of this three years' course, however, instead of graduating with his class in 1877, he made application for the position of "interne" at the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital, which position was open only to senior under-graduates, and after a competitive examination he received the appointment of resident phy- sician and surgeon to that institution for the school year of 1877 and 1878, at the expiration of which term of service he was awarded a diploma from the insti- tution. At the Commencement exercises of Boston University School of Medicine in March, 1878, he was graduated as Doc- tor of Medicine, receiving his degree with the graduating class of 1878.

Dr. Russegue then took up his resi- dence in South Framingham, Massachu- setts, where he practiced his profession most successfully for six years. He began to notice that the strain and expos- ure incident to a widely distributed coun- try practice was making inroads upon his health, and he decided to remove from that center and get into a more concen- trated city practice. In keeping with this decision he removed to Hartford, Con- necticut, in 1884. After locating in that city, Dr. Russegue soon drew to himself a large clientele and was most success- ful in his profession, becoming one of Hartford's prominent physicians in a remarkably short time, ingratiating him- self not only into the good will and effec- tion of his patients, but also into the kindly and fraternal feelings of his brother physicians of all schools of med- ical practice. With the exception of one comparatively short intermission (when away from the city for a time) Dr. Russegue continued in the practice of his profession in Hartford and its suburban towns until 1910, when the city of Hartford requisitioned his residential property, in which was located his office and his place of business, for its own uses, and since his removal from that location he has not been actively engaged in practice, although he still continues to reside in Hartford.
