GILLETTE, Charles Stanton, Financier, Honored Citizen.
The family of Gillette has been long identified with bankers and banking, and Charles S. Gillette was widely known and respected as a sound and successful busi- ness man.
His family is an old one in Connecticut and the name has been spelled through many generations, Gillett, but in later times another letter has been added. The name was taken from France to England whence it came to this country. The pioneer in this country was Jonathan Gillett, who was one of a company of one hundred and forty Puritans who came from the counties of Devon, Dorset and Somerset, England. They sailed with the Rev. John Warham and Rev. John Mav- erick, as pastors, in the ship, "Mary and John," March 20, 1630, and arrived off Nantasket, May 30th following. They settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where Jonathan Gillett was admitted free- man, May 6, 1635, and was granted vari- ous lands and privileges in that town.
He accompanied Rev. John Warham and his associates to Windsor, Connecticut, about 1636, and had a lot seventeen rods wide near that of the pastor and opposite Alexander Alvord's. Thirty-seven years after the settlement, Matthew Grant made a list of the twenty-one members who came with Mr. Warham from Dorset and were still residents of Windsor, and this list included the names of Jonathan and his wife, Mary. Having paid six shillings for the privilege, they were per- mitted to sit in the long seats in church. Jonathan Gillett was one of the com- mittee of distribution and contributed four and one-half shillings to the fund in aid of sufferers from the Indians at Sims- bury and Springfield. He died August 23, 1677, and was survived more than seven years by his wife, who passed away January 5, 1685.
Their second son, Jonathan Giliett, born 1634-35, in Windsor, resided in that part of the town which was later Sims- bury. He was a farmer and purchased the farm formerly owned by Joseph Phelps. In 1676 he contributed one shilling and three-pence to the fund for the relief of the poor in other colonies. He married, December 14, 1676, Miriam Dibble, who was born February 19, 1645. second daughter of Thomas Dibble, who was a pioneer in the settlement of Dor- chester and Windsor, and a member of the church in both towns.
Thomas Gillett, third son of Jonathan Gillett, and eldest child of his second wife, Miriam (Dibble) Gillett, was born May 31, 16-8. and died June 11, 1708. He married, February 26, 1704, Hannah Clark, born August 15, 1686, and died February 20, 1709, the daughter of John and Mary (Crow) Clark, and grand- daughter of Daniel Clark, born about 1622, an early settler of Windsor, where he filled many offices. He was admitted

to the church in June, 1643, and was secretary of the colony from 1658 to 1664. He married, June 13, 1644, Mary New- berry, who died October 29, 1688. She was a daughter of Thomas Newberry, who came from England and died in Dor- chester, as he was preparing to remove to Windsor. His widow, Jane, married (second) Rev. John Warham, the first pastor at Windsor, and removed thither with her children. Her third son, John Newberry, born April 10, 1656, was ad- mitted an inhabitant of Simsbury, Decem- ber 24, 1686, and died there in February, 1715. He married, in 1685, Mary, daugh- ter of Christopher and Mary (Burr) Crow, born 1665. She married (second) about 1720, William Randall, of Enfield. Chris- topher Crow lived first in Hartford, later in Windsor, and again in Hartford. His father, Benjamin Crow, was one of the founders of Hartford, one of the original proprietors in 1635, and a soldier of the Pequot War.
Jonah Gillett, the posthumous son of Thomas Gillett, was born October 18, 1708, in Simsbury, and resided in what was called Wintonbury Parish of Wind- sor, now the town of Bloomfield, and was sergeant of militia. He married Elizabeth Hoskins, born 1708-09, died May 28, 1758, and several of their children were bap- tized in Wintonbury.
Their eldest child, Captain Jonah Gillett, was born about 1728-29 in Bloom- field, and was a soldier of the Revolution in command of the Second Company of the Second Battalion in Colonel Gay's regiment in 1776. This regiment was raised to reinforce General Washington's army at New York, and participated in the movements on Long Island and at White Plains. He died March 14, 1792, in Bloomfield. He was married, Novem- ber 9, 1752, by the Rev. Hezekiah Bissel, first pastor of the church at Wintonbury,
to Sarah Goodrich, who was born October 31, 1733, in Windsor, daughter of Jacob and Benedicta (Goodwin) Goodrich, de- scended from William and Sarah (Mar- vin) Goodrich, who were early in Wethersfield. Their son, John Goodrich, born May 20, 1653, lived in Wethersfield, and married, March 28, 1678, Rebecca, daughter of Captain John Allyn, of Charlestown, Massachusetts, born in Feb- ruary, 1660. Their youngest child was Jacob Goodrich, born November 27, 1694, and lived in Wethersfield and Windsor, and died May II, 1746. He married, Sep- tember 12, 1717, Benedicta Goodwin, daughter of Nathaniel and Mehitable (Porter) Goodwin. Their fourth daugh- ter, Sarah Goodrich, born in 1733, became the wife of Captain Jonah Gillett, as above noted. She was also a descendant of Ozias Goodwin, the ancestor of all of that name in the vicinity of Hartford, and his wife, Mary (Woodward) Goodwin, the daughter of Robert Woodward, of England. Ozias Goodwin and wife were residing in Hartford as early as 1639, and there he died before April, 1683. His son, William Goodwin, was born about 1629, and died October 15, 1689, and mar- ried Susanna Fruen. Their second son, Nathaniel Goodwin, was a shoemaker, deacon of the First Church of Hartford, and died in November, 1747. He married Mehitable Porter, born September 15, 1673, daughter of Samuel and Hannah (Stanley) Porter, of Hadley, Massachu- setts ; she was the granddaughter of John Porter, who came from Felsted, County Essex, England, and was in Windsor as early as 1639. He married, October 18, 1620, Anna White, of Messing, England. baptized July 3, 1600, daugliter of Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White. The latter was a daughter of William Allgar, of Shelford, Essex.

(Porter) Goodwin, married, about 1659, Hannah, daughter of Thomas and Bene- dicta Stanley, who were in Hartford as early as 1636. Benedicta, second daugh- ter of Samuel and Hannah Goodwin, bap- tized February 25, 1694, became the wife of Jacob Goodrich, and the mother of Sarah Goodrich, who married Captain Jonah Gillett.
Their second son, Jonah Gillette, bap- tized April 17, 1757, in Wintonbury, served as a drummer in the Revolution, enlisting July 6, 1775, and serving until December 8th following, as drummer of the Fourth Company, commanded by Captain Elihu Humphrey, of the Eighth Regiment of Connecticut Militia, Colonel Jedediah Huntington. This regiment was located on the sound until September 14, 1775, when it was ordered to Boston and served at Roxbury in General Spencer's brigade. Jonah Gillette lived in Bloom- field where he died September 18, 1825. The Wintonbury records do not show his marriage and the family name of his wife, Elizabeth, born in 1764, died December 30, 1825, is unknown.
Their son, Justus Gillette, born Sep- tember 28, 1783, in Bloomfield, was bap- tized at Wintonbury, October 10, 1793, and died October 17, 1825. He married Sylvia Hubbard, born June 14, 1787, bap- tized September 28, 1788, daughter of Oliver Hubbard, of Bloomfield, descend- ant of George Hubbard, the ancestor of a very large family in this country. The name seems to be identical with Hobart, Hubert and Herbert, all personal names, and is found under some fifty different spellings in the early Colonial records of America. The family was prominent and ancient in England where it bore coat- armor, and there is record of a John Hub- bard, born about 1235 in Norfolk, Eng- land, who was the patriarch of very nu- merous posterity. George Hubbard, born
about 1601 in England, was a resident of Hartford, Connecticut, before 1639. He came overland with the first travellers from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and was given six acres of land by courtesy of the town, and resided near the South meadow, on a road running parallel with the Connecticut river. In March, 1651, with some fifteen others, he settled in what is now Middletown, Connecticut. In 1650 he was listed as an Indian agent and trader, and in 1654 was admitted a freeman at Middletown. There he owned lands on both sides of the river, and he had a residence on both sides of Main street. With Thomas Wetmore and two others he gave land for the Second Meet- ing House, March 18, 1684, "highly re- spected and of marked integrity and fair- ness." In 1640, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Watts, at which time he was living on the east side of the Connecticut river. His third son, Samuel Hubbard, born in May, 1648, in Hartford, was reared by his uncle, Cap- tain Thomas Watts, who was childless, and on the death of the latter, inherited his property and removed to Hartford, where he died November 4, 1732. He married, August 9, 1673, Mary Kirby, who was born January 16, 1654, in Middletown, the daughter of John and Elizabeth (prob- ably Hinds) Kirby, of Hartford, Wethers- field, and Middletown, formerly of Row- ington, near Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England. Their fourth son, Lieutenant John Hubbard, born in August, 1691, settled in Simsbury in that portion annex- ed in 1643 to Bloomfield. About 1740 he removed to Windsor, and died there February 14, 1775. The house in which he lived remained in possession of his de- scendants as late as 1859. He married, in October, 1717, Agnes (Spencer) Humphries, born 1669, died April 11, 1773, the daughter of Samuel and Sarah

He married Hannah Cadwell, born 1729, died May 5, 1796, the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Cad- well. She married (second) January 19, 1764, Jonathan Palmer, of Bloomfield. Oliver Hubbard, youngest child and post- humous child of John and Hannah (Cad- well) Hubbard, was born April 16, 1761, and lived in Bloomfield. His wife was Sylvia (Pennoyer) Hubbard, whose father was John Pennoyer, probably of Hudson or Newburg, New York. The baptisms of his children are recorded in the Wintonbury church. The eldest of these was Sylvia, baptized September 28, 1788, in Wintonbury, and who became the wife of Justus Gillette.
Their son, Norman Hubbard Gillette, was born December 24, 1808, and bap- tized at Wintonbury church, September 3. 1815. At the same time were baptized three other children of Justus Gillette, namely, Justus Pennoyer, Anson Center, and Sylvia Permelia. He removed to Hartford when a boy, and in early life was a merchant there. In 1831 he re- moved to Russia, New York, and was a member of the mercantile firm of Stan- ton & Gillette, until 1834, when he be- came a merchant miller at Odgensburg, New York. Here he was head of the firm of Norman H. Gillette & Company. Nine years later he built a flour mill at the foot of Bridge street, Brooklyn, where he carried on an extensive milling busi- ness for a period of five years. From 1848 to 1853, he kept the Syracuse House at Syracuse, New York. Later he was in the real estate commission business at Hartford, and in the summer of 1859, con-
ducted the Fairfield House at Fair- field, Connecticut. He was appoint- ed inspector of customs at New York City, July 10, 1861, and continued in that position until his retirement on account of ill health in 1876. He died in Hartford, July 5, 1881. He married, April 28, 1834, Jane Shepard, who was born August 24, 1808, daughter of Phineas and Mary (Webster) Shepard, descended from Edward Shepard, who was a mariner and came from England to New England and settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Violet Shepard, supposed to be his wife, died there January 9, 1649. His will was proved August 20, 1680, and a year later his son John sold the homestead. The lat- ter was born about 1627, in England, and lived in Hartford on what is now known as Lafayette street, a short distance south of the new State House. He owned lands extending to Wethersfield bounds, was a man of consequence in the colony, known as Sergeant John Shepard. He married, October 1, 1649, Rebecca Greenhill, daughter of Samuel Greenhill. Their fourth son, Thomas Shepard, was born November 12, 1666, and was admitted to the First Church of Hartford, March I, 1695, and died between February 2, 1742, and March 6th of the following year. He married, September 5, 1695, Susannah Scott. She was probably Hannah Scott, born August 11, 1679, daughter of William and Hannah (Allie) Scott, of Hatfield, Massachusetts. Their eldest child was Thomas Shepard, born April 2, 1697, in Hartford. He resided in West Hartford and in that part of Windsor which is now Bloomfield, and died in West Hartford, May 25, 1775. He mar- ried Mary Eggleston, born July 20, 1697, and died March 22, 1736, the daughter of Isaac and Mary (Stiles) Eggleston and granddaughter of Begat Eggleston, a pioneer settler of Windsor.

She was the daugh- ter of Samuel and Huldah (Skinner) Webster. Their sixth daughter, Jane Shepard, born August 24, 1808, married, April 28, 1834, Norman Hubbard Gillette, as previously noted. Mary Webster, wife of Phineas Shepard, was descended from Governor John Webster, of Connecticut, one of the original settlers of Hartford. He was magistrate of the Colony twenty years, from 1639, a deputy governor in 1655, and governor the following year. He became one of the fifty-nine signers of the agreement to settle at Hadley, where he died April 5, 1685. He retained his estate in Hartford, the use of which he gave to his wife, Agnes, during her life. Their eldest child, Robert Webster, born about 1639-40, was representative to the General Court at Hartford in 1658-59. He signed the agreement to go to Had- ley, but remained in Hartford and was executor of his father's will. He died in 1676, and his wife, Susanna, died about 1705; the inventory of her estate having been made November 17, of that year. The first child mentioned in her will was John Webster, probably the eldest son, born November 10, 1653, in Hartford, and died in 1694.

Charles Stanton Gillette, second son of Norman Hubbard Gillette, was born Oc- tober 10, 1843, in Odgensburg, New York, and died in Hartford, Connecticut, Jan- uary 10, 1887. In youth he attended what was known as the South School, now the Chauncey Harris School, of Hartford. He was subsequently a student in the Hart- ford High School for one year, and at the age of seventeen years was recommended for a position in the old Merchant and Manufacturers Bank of Hartford, which became in 1860 the First National Bank. After twelve years of faithful service he was made cashier, and in 1883 became
13
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
president of the bank, being at that time the youngest bank president in the city. He continued in this position until his death soon after the beginning of his forty-fourth year. He enjoyed in marked degree the confidence of his associates and of the community-in-general, and was called upon to administer several estates which were large for the time. His busi- ness judgment was recognized by all, and many well-to-do people in Hartford to- day are grateful for the sound advice given them by Mr. Gillette in business matters. He was deeply interested in church work and was junior deacon of the South Congregational Church for many years. He served in the Veteran City Guard, of which he was sergeant. A thorough Republican in politics, he was ever eager to advance the public interest, but was prevented by his business con- nections from giving any time to official services. Very fond of his home life and the society of his family, he did not affiliate with any fraternal bodies. A man of keen sympathies and warm heart, he was the friend of mankind, and died widely regretted.
Mr. Gillette married, October 10, 1867, Emma Frances Tiffany, of Hartford, born December 31, 1845, daughter of Edwin D. and Julia (Camp) Tiffany, of that city. She died January 13, 1887, in Hartford.

JEWELL, Lyman Beecher, Merchant, Manufacturer.
The name of Jewell is a distinguished one among the honorable names of the sons of Connecticut. The immigrant an- cestor, Thomas Jewell, was born in Eng- land about 1600, and it is believed that he was of the same stock as Bishop John Jewell, who was born in the north of Devonshire in 1522, died in 1571. Former- ly the surname was written Jule, Joyell, Jewell and in various other ways. Thomas Jewell came over in the ship "Planter" in 1635, at which time he was twenty- seven years old. He settled at what is now Braintree, Massachusetts, and was

granted land there April 24, 1639. He died in 1654, and his widow, Grisell, sub- sequently re-married four times.
Their son, Joseph Jewell, was born at Braintree, April 24, 1642, and died be- fore September 2, 1736. He settled in Sudbury, Massachusetts, and bought land there, July 17, 1694. He conducted a ferry and grist mill. He married (first) about 1670, Martha
Their son, Joseph Jewell, was born in June, 1673, and died in 1766, at Dudley, Massachusetts. He was married in Boston, Massachusetts, September 14 1704, to Mary Morris, by the famous Rev. Cotton Mather.
Their son, Nathaniel Jewell, was born April 8, 1716, at Plainfield, Connecticut, and died of smallpox at Dudley, Massa- chusetts, December 26, 1777. He married, January 6, 1741, Rebecca Leonard.
Their son, Asahel Jewell, was born August 2, 1744, and died at Winchester, New Hampshire, April 30, 1790. He was a tanner and farmer. He married, Novem- ber 5, 1767, Hannah Wright.
Their son, Asahel (2) Jewell was born in Winchester, May 16, 1776, and died there August 29, 1834. He followed the trade of tanner. He married, February 21, 1797, Hepzibah Chamberlain.
Their son, Pliny Jewell, was born at Winchester, September 27, 1798, and died August 28, 1869, at Hartford, Connecti- cut. During his youth he attended the district schools and local academy, and for some years taught school during the winter terms. At an early age he learned the trade of tanner, and step by step learned the details of his father's business. He succeeded to the business established by his grandfather at Winchester and continued by his father, and he manufac- tured leather there until 1845, when he sought a larger field for his industry at Hartford. In 1848 he added to the tan-
ning business a shop for the making of leather belting. At that time were asso- ciated with him his two sons, Pliny, Jr., and Marshall, under the firm name of P. Jewell & Sons, and subsequently two other sons, Charles A. and Lyman B., were admitted to the firm. The shop was on Trumbull street, Hartford, and the business prospered and grew to large proportions. It was incorporated April 16, 1883. The founder and senior part- ner of the firm retired in 1866, three years before his death. About 1856, the firm established a tannery at Detroit, Michi- gan, where for twenty-five years the leather was prepared. At present the company has large tanneries at Rome, Georgia, and the leather manufactured there is used largely in the belt factory at Hartford. Mr. Jewell lived to see the industry he established grow to be the largest of its kind in the country. To his great executive ability, sagacity and indefatigable industry, the success of the business is largely due. He had great strength of will, force of character and decided convictions. In religion he was a decided Calvinist of the stern old-fash- ioned type. He was active in the Con- gregational church of his native town and when he came to Hartford joined the South Congregational Church, of which he was a member until a few years be- fore his death, when he united with the Center Church of Hartford. He was sec- retary and treasurer of the Windsor Theological Seminary and a prime mover in securing its removal to Hartford.
He was a lifelong student, especially of the history of his own country, of France and England, and few men of his day knew more about the politics and political history of the United States. He left very voluminous notes upon English his- tory with characteristic criticisms of historical personages. He read old Eng-
15
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
lish literature and studied Shakespeare, especially the historical plays, with scholarly method and care. "He was not a mere reader of history but he studied the philosophy of it, the motives and animus of the characters who figure in it, and the action and re-action of events upon the actors in the great drama. He talked well on such subjects, showing always a memory tenacious of facts and a clear grasp of principles. He had a fondness for rare books upon the subject in which he was interested, though he was not a collector." And when he re- tired from business he had a pleasing and stimulating avocation in his studies, such as too few of the men who have led active lives have. Naturally such a man was interested in the government of his coun- try. He took an active part in politics in Winchester in the old Whig party, serving several terms in the State Legis- lature, but he voted for Fremont for president and was a Republican the re- mainder of his life.
