(III) Jonathan Slawson, second son and third child of John and Sarah (Tuttle) Slawson, was born July 25, 1670-71. At his death, November 19, 1727, he was called ensign. He married (first) Febru- ary 4, 1699-1700, Mary Waterbury, daugh- ter of John Waterbury, of Stamford. She was born March 20, 1679, and died May 12, 1710. He married (second) July II, 17II, Rose Stevens, born October 14, 1683, daughter of Obediah and Rebecca (Rose) Stevens.
(IV) David Slawson, son of Jonathan
and Rose (Stevens) Slawson, was born December 28, 1713. He married, in April, 1735, Eunice Scofield. David Slawson was in service sixteen days in 1757, in a militia company under Captain David Hanford, of Norwalk, Colonel Jonathan Hait's regiment, on alarm for relief of Fort Henry.
(V) Jonathan (2) Slawson, son of Da- vid and Eunice (Scofield) Slawson, was born February 28, 1736-37, and died Au- gust 31, 1820, in New Canaan. He mar- ried, December 2, 1762, Lydia Lockwood, born February 9, 1741-42, daughter of Robert Lockwood.

He married, June 3, 1802, Hannah Wright, born December 9, 1785, daughter of Dennis and Lois (Newel) Wright. Dennis Wright was born April 19, 1761, and married, March 14, 1781, Lois Newel, born July 9, 1756. They apparently lived at one time in Nor- walk, and also owned land in New Can- aan. Research has thus far not disclosed the immediate antecedents of Dennis Wright, but it is supposed that he came from the Long Island family of that name.
(VII) Betsey M. Slawson, daughter of Jonas and Hannah (Wright) Slawson, born September 20, 1814, died February 20, 1876. She married Wakeman Whit- lock, and was the mother of Sarah J. Whitlock, who became the wife of George Gregory.
(The Lockwood Line).
Lydia Lockwood, who married Jona- than Slawson, December 22, 1762, was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, February 9, 1741, according to the Lockwood gen- ealogy; the family Bible, however, gives the year 1742.
Robert Lockwood, father of Lydia (Lockwood) Slawson, was born in Green- wich, Connecticut, in 1714. He married,

in June, 1739, Rachel or Jane Stevens, and soon after removed to Norwalk, Connec- ticut. He was in Salem, New York, be- tween 1746 and 1750, and was of New- burgh, in 1775.
Still John Lockwood, father of Robert Lockwood, was born about 1674, in Greenwich, Connecticut, and died in 1758.

1634, in Watertown, Massachusetts. On October 16, 1660, he was of Stamford, Connecticut, and five years later sold his estate there, removing to Greenwich, Con- necticut, where he was one of the twenty- seven proprietors. In 1671 he served as assistant. His death occurred May 12, 1688. He married Mary (Marah) Ferris, daughter of Jeffrey Ferris, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work.
Robert Lockwood, father of Jonathan Lockwood, came from England about 1630, and in 1641 was settled in Fairfield, Connecticut. There he died in 1658.
GREGORY, Henry Whitmore, Judge of Probate.
Henry Whitmore Gregory, son of George and Sarah Jane (Whitlock) Greg- ory (q. v.), was born in New Haven, Con- necticut, November 24, 1867. He attended the grammar schools of New Haven, and prepared for college at the Stamford High School. In 1891 he was graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School with the degree of Ph. B. Subsequently he read law under the preceptorship of J. Belden Hurlburt, of Norwalk, and was admitted to the bar in 1893. Under the firm name of Hurlburt & Gregory, he practiced law until March, 1900. In the latter year Mr. Gregory was elcted judge of probate and he has held this office continuously since that time.
The voters of both parties are respon-
sible for Judge Gregory's long service in the public interest. They have recognized his special fitness to administer probate matters. He knows the law; his mind is logical, and his sense of fairness strong. Among his fellow-citizens he is held in the highest esteem. Other interests of Judge Gregory include: Director of the Fairfield County Savings Bank ; president of the Lounsbury & Bissell Company, felt manufacturers. Fraternally, he is a mem- ber of St. John's Lodge, No. 6, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons ; Washington Chapter, No. 24, Royal Arch Masons; Council, Royal and Select Mas- ters; the Norwalk Club; the Norwalk Country Club.
Judge Gregory married Eleanor Ida Miller, daughter of Christian Miller, of Stamford. With his wife, Judge Gregory attends Grace Episcopal Church and aids in the support of its good works.
GREGORY, William Harvey,
Dentist.
William Harvey Gregory, son of George and Sarah Jane (Whitlock) Gregory (q. v.), was born June 18, 1875, in New Haven, Connecticut. He was educated in the public schools of Darien. In 1894 he graduated from the South Norwalk High School, and subsequent to this time was engaged for a year in teaching school. He entered the New York College of Dentis- try and was graduated from there in 1898 with the degree of D. D. S. In July of the same year Dr. Gregory engaged in prac- tice. His work is of a general nature, al- though he makes a specialty of treating teeth. Dr. Gregory is among the leading citizens of Stamford, and is much inter- ested in all that pertains to the welfare of that city. He is a member of Puritan Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows; St. John's Club. He is also a mem-

ber of the Connecticut State Dental Asso- ciation and of the National Dental Asso- ciation.
On December II, 1904, Dr. Gregory married Harriet Martha Post, daughter of Nicolas Post, of Staten Island, now residing in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The mother of Mrs. Gregory died when she was eleven days old and she was reared by an aunt, Mrs. Eben Bouton, of South Norwalk, Connecticut, and she as- sumed the name of Bouton. Dr. and Mrs. Gregory are the parents of two children : Lois Harriet, born November 13, 1905, and Henry William, born January 16, 1915.
GREGORY, Ira Oswin, Lawyer, Useful Citizen.
Ira Oswin Gregory, youngest son of George and Sarah Jane (Whitlock) Greg- ory (q. v.), was born May 21, 1881, in Weston, Connecticut. He was educated in the public schools of Darien and Nor- walk, Connecticut, and graduated from the Yale Law School in the class of 1904, with the degree of LL. B. For six years following his graduation, Mr. Gregory was associated with the legal firm of Walsh & Hubbell, of Norwalk, and subse- quently engaged in practice on his own account. His practice is a general one with a large proportion of real estate law. He has met with success in his profes- sion and this has been well deserved, the just reward of diligence and attention to details. In the public life of Norwalk Mr. Gregory has taken his place as an alert and public-spirited citizen, and all matters of public interest are his interests. It seems especially fitting to find the scions of the oldest Colonial families oc- cupying places of prominence and pres- tige in the communities. He was one of the first to become interested in the Boy
Scouts, and was first president of the Norwalk Council, serving for several years, and has held many other offices, evincing a decided interest in that move- ment. Mr. Gregory is a Mason in fra- ternal affiliation, and is a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 6, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks; and of the Royal Arcanum.
Mr. Gregory married Edna Baker, daughter of Edward V. and Carrie E. (Duncan) Baker. Mrs. Gregory is a granddaughter of Tallmadge Baker, ex- treasurer of Connecticut.
JENNINGS, Stanley T., Lawyer, Public Official.
Stanley T. Jennings, son of James Stanley and Harriet Emily (Ritch) Jennings, was born January 9, 1873, at Greenwich, Connecticut. Mr. Jennings graduated from the New York Law School in 1894, and was admitted to the Connecticut bar at Bridgeport, in July, 1894, and ever since has practiced law, first in Greenwich, his native town, for three years, and afterward in Stamford. For more than twenty years he was a partner of the late Edwin L. Scofield, under the firm name of Scofield & Jen- nings. Since the death of Mr. Scofield he has continued the practice of law alone. He has held the following public offices : Deputy judge of the City Court of Stamford for two terms; corporation counsel of the city of Stamford for two terms; and town counsel of Stamford for two years, and also for the town of Da- rien. At present he holds no public office, and does not enter actively in politics as he did in former years.
The ancient family of Jennings is of English-Saxon origin, having been seated in Yorkshire prior to the Norman Con-

quest. The name has been variously spelled Jennyns, Jennes, as well as in the modern form, Jennings.
Joshua Jennings, founder of the Amer- ican branch of the family, was born in England about 1620 to 1625, and emi- grated to the New England Colony about 1645 to 1647. In the latter year he was in Hartford, Connecticut, and later re- moved to Fairfield, where he passed the remainder of his life.
The grandfather of Mr. Jennings was Orin S. Jennings, and his gradmother was Mary Esther Partrick, both born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and later re- moved to North Wilton, where they both died.
The mother of Mr. Jennings was Har- riet Emily Ritch, who at the time of her marriage to James S. Jennings lived in Greenwich, Connecticut. Her father was Rufus Ritch, and her mother was Ma- haley Lockwood. Mr. Jennings had five sisters, all of whom are living and named as follows: I. Sarah O., widow of J. B.
Hendrie, of Stamford, Connecticut. 2. Mary Emma, widow of Thomas Newton, a contractor of Hartford. 3. Alice D., widow of Thomas Lilly, of Norwalk, Con- necticut. 4. Lizzie, who married Edward F. W. Gillespie, of Stamford. 5. Mar- garet Eugenia, unmarried, of Stamford.
Stanley T. Jennings married, in No- vember, 1894, Lucy Holmes Hendrie, daughter of Joshua B. Hendrie, of Stam- ford, Connecticut, and by her had three children, now (1921), all living: Adrian Hendrie, Laurence Ritch; and Margaret Isabel, who married Harry Murray of Stamford.
PERDUE, Robert E., Physician, Specialist.
No list of the leading physicians, not of Norwalk alone, but also of Fairfield
county, would be complete without the name we have just written at the head of this article. Dr. Perdue has a record of honorable service in the late war, and is prominently identified with the profes- sional and fraternal organizations of his community.
The name Perdue, which is variously written Purdew, Purdey, Purdie, Purdy, and Purdye, appears to be a corruption of the old ejaculatory expression derived from the French "perdie," used thus in Spenser's "Fairie Queen": "That red- cross knight, perdie, I never slew."
Loren O. Perdue, father of Robert E. Perdue, was born in Carroll county, Ohio, and was a man of superior education. At an early age he became a teacher, and later a professor at Purdue University. In the latter part of his life he retired to a farm in Louisiana, where he died in 1912. Prof. Perdue married Isabel Aiken, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Van- derhoof) Aiken. Robert Aiken was a na- tive of Scotland, and at the age of twelve years came with a sister to the United States. He became a very successful farmer, removing in 1838 from Coshocton county to McArthur, and owning one of the first sawmills ever built and operated in Ohio. His marriage took place in Mc- Arthur, Ohio, and he and his wife became the parents of two daughters and a son : Alice, married Ira Wood, of Webster, Ohio, and is now deceased; Martha, mar- ried D. A. Engle, of Logan, Hocking county, Ohio, and is also deceased; and Robert E., mentioned below. The family were all members of the Presbyterian church.
Robert E. Perdue, son of Loren O. and Isabel (Aiken) Perdue, was born in Mc- Arthur, Ohio, June 7, 1875. He received his preparatory education in public schools of his native town, passing thence to the
I57
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
Ohio State University and then entering the Starling Medical School at Columbus. From the latter institution he graduated in 1895 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
After a year spent in gaining experience in St. Francis' Hospital in Columbus, Dr. Perdue removed to Southport, Connecti- cut, in 1896, where he remained nine years. In 1907 he established himself in Norwalk, where, as a general practitioner and also specialist of children's diseases, he has built up a large and profitable clientele. He has for some years served on the staff of the Norwalk Hospital, of which he was in 1920 vice-president, and president in 1921.
During the World War Dr. Perdue was in service from August, 1917, to Febru- ary, 1919, being appointed medical officer of the Engineer Officers' Training School at Lee and Camp Humphries, serving al- so at the latter place as camp surgeon. Enlisting as captain, he was advanced shortly after enlisting in the service to the rank of major, and still holds that rank in the Reserve Corps of the United States army.
The professional organizations in which Dr. Perdue is enrolled include the Nor- walk Medical Society, the Fairfield Coun- ty Medical Society, the Connecticut Med- ical Society, and the American Medical Association. He affiliates with St. John's Lodge, No. 6, Free and Accepted Masons ; Butler Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, all of Norwalk. He also affiliates with the Improved Order of Red Men of Norwalk, and his only club is the Nor- walk.
Dr. Perdue married Mary Bernard, daughter of David F. and Catherine Ber- nard, of Norwalk.
The record of Dr. Perdue, now covering a period of nearly a quarter of a century,
gives him high standing in his chosen profession, and as he is now in the prime of life it conveys assurance that further distinction awaits him in the years to come.
TENNY, Robert Mack,
Manufacturer.
It is safe to say that the business men of South Norwalk have no more aggres- sive representative than the one they possess in the citizen whose name stands at the head of this article. Mr. Tenny is actively interested in all that concerns the welfare of his community, and is well known in its fraternal and social circles.
The Tenny family is of English origin, and the name is probably an abbreviation of Tennyson, or Tenison, perhaps the same as Tynesende. Albert S. Tenny, father of Robert Mack Tenny, was born in Winchester, New Hampshire, and was reared on a farm. As a young man he went to Boston, where for some years he was employed in the wholesale dry goods business. He then entered the service of W. W. Lewisohn & Son, umbrella manu- facturers, and before long became a mem- ber of the firm. He was a man of ability and energy, and continued to be active in the business as long as he lived. He affi- liated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Tenny married Sadie E. Nelson, born in Foxboro, Massachusetts, daughter of Robert and Louisa (Dill) Nelson, and they became the parents of one child, Robert Mack, mentioned be- low. Mr. and Mrs. Tenny were members of the Warren Avenue Baptist Church, Boston. The death of Mr. Tenny occurred November 15, 1895.
Robert Mack Tenny, son of Albert S. and Sadie E. (Nelson) Tenny, was born May 6, 1880, in Boston, and received his education in the public schools of his na-
158
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
tive city. His first employment was in a Well Lodge, No. 108, Free and Accepted hotel, and after a time he became a clerk Masons, of South Norwalk. in the Adams House, Boston, a position which he retained for two years. He was then for several years manager of the old Bowdoin Square Hotel, Boston.
After resigning this position, Mr. Tenny went to New York City, where he became a salesman for William Hegeman & Com- pany, dealers in bulbs and similar prod- ucts. For about ten years he remained with this concern, during the first two years as a salesman and afterward as a member of the firm. He was a factor of importance in the conduct of the business until the death of Mr. Hegeman, but shortly after that event, he disposed of his interest and severed his connection with the establishment.
About twelve years ago Mr. Tenny be- came a resident of South Norwalk. Soon after withdrawing from the bulb business he had associated himself with the auto- mobile industry in Ossining, New York, dealing in Dodge and Buick cars, but on coming to South Norwalk he turned his attention in another direction. In No- vember, 1919, with his two brothers-in- law, Dr. L. M. Allen, of South Norwalk, and J. R. Wrigley, then of Bridgeport, but now of South Norwalk, he organized a company under the name of John R. Wrigley, Inc., the object being the man- ufacture of paper boxes. The firm pur- chased the Luther Wright building in South Norwalk and equipped it as a fac- tory, with every modern facility for mak- ing paper boxes. They employ on an av- erage about fifty persons, and their prod- uct is sold to manufacturers in every part of the State of Connecticut.
One of Mr. Tenny's dominant charac- teristics is love of music, and for years he has found in playing the cornet a means of rest and relaxation from the cares of business. He affiliates with Old
Mr. Tenny married, in June, 1919, Amelia Becker, daughter of Frank C. and Amelia (Grupe) Becker, of Norwalk, and they are the parents of one child, Robert Mack Tenny, Jr., born April 3, 1920.
Mr. Tenny is now enjoying the well- earned fruits of his energy and progres- siveness, and as he is in the prime of life there is reason to expect that the record of the coming years will be one of pros- perity and accomplishment.
JOHNSON, Newton Samuel, Business Man, Public Official.
That this is the name of one of her most progressive business men no citizen of Greenwich needs to be told, for while Mr. Johnson's place of business is in Port Chester, New York, he has been a resi- dent of Greenwich for more than a third of a century, and for eleven years has filled continuously and in the most satis- factory manner the office of first select- man.
Charles Wesley Johnson, father of Newton Samuel Johnson, was born Au- gust 22, 1831, in Concord, New Hamp- shire, and is a descendant of New Eng- land ancestors. He learned the trade of house painter and decorator, and after his marriage moved to Pomfret, Connecticut, where he engaged in this occupation dur- ing all the active years of his life. Mr. Johnson married Elizabeth Griggs, born in Hampton, Connecticut, daughter of Jesse Griggs, and of the eight children born to them, the following reached ma- turity : Elizabeth, deceased ; Harriet, de- ceased ; Anna, deceased, formerly the wife of John W. Curtiss; Albert, deceased ; George, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts ; Newton Samuel, mentioned below. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were members of the
159
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
Congregational church in Pomfret. On November 26, 1902, Mrs. Johnson passed away, and after this sad event, her hus- band retired from business. He is still living, being now in the eighty-ninth year of his age and retaining, to a wonderful degree his physical and mental vigor, reading without the aid of spectacles. His children, with the exception of George and Newton Samuel, are all now deceased.
Newton Samuel Johnson, son of Charles Wesley and Elizabeth (Griggs) Johnson, was born August 7, 1866, in Pomfret, Connecticut, and received his education in the public schools of his birthplace. He learned the business of a butcher and for several years engaged in it, during a por- tion of that time having his own estab- lishment.
In 1882 Mr. Johnson removed to Green- wich and for about ten years thereafter continued to carry on his special line of business. He has always been a man of much enterprise and about this time availed himself, with characteristic alert- ness, of an opportunity which presented itself. He erected a plant for the grind- ing of feldspar for the purpose of supply- ing the potters and glassmakers in the Glenville section of the town of Green- wich, and the manner in which the busi- ness developed proved that the venture had been a wise one, large quantities of crushed stone being shipped to road build- ers. At the end of fifteen years, the sup- ply of raw material being exhausted, Mr. Johnson resumed his former business and for seven years prospered in it, disposing of his interests in 1916.
Two years prior to this he had organ- ized the firm of Eddy & Johnson, in Port Chester, New York, and after about eight- een months had purchased the interests of his partner. Not long after, he asso- ciated himself with Frederick A. Bier-
mann, the firm name becoming Johnson & Biermann. They do a large business in auto accessories, farm implements and general hardware, maintaining three spa- cious warehouses.
In politics Mr. Johnson has always been a staunch Republican, and in Octo- ber, 1909, was elected first selectman. He has ever since received regularly the tri- bute of a reëlection and now has two years of his present term still to serve.
In fraternal affairs Mr. Johnson is very active. He affiliates with Acacia Lodge, No. 85, Free and Accepted Masons, of Greenwich, as well as with the Improved Order of Red Men, the Knights of Py- thias, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, these three organizations being also of Greenwich. He and his wife are members of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church of their home town.
Mr. Johnson married Hattie Pine, daughter of Samuel and Augusta Pine, and a native of New York State. By this marriage Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are the parents of two sons: I. Samuel Eu- gene, born May 2, 1895, now with Wil- liam R. Grace & Company, exporters, of New York; he served sixteen months in France as a member of Company B, Mili- tary Police, Twenty-seventh Division, and was cited for bravery. 2. Charles W., born July 22, 1896; now associated with his father in the hardware business ; mar- ried Beatrice Sherwood, of Armonk, New York, and they have one child, Charles W., Jr.
Newton Samuel Johnson has made a worthy record both as business man and public official, for he is now at the head of a flourishing concern, and has received from his fellow-citizens convincing proof of their confidence in his ability to serve them and his disinterested zeal in doing so.

KNAPP, Nathaniel Augustus,
Legislator, Town Official.
The office now so ably filled by Mr. Knapp does not represent his first ex- perience as a public official, but has come to him in recognition of long and faithful service to his community. His native town of Greenwich, of which he has al- ways remained a resident, has called him to serve her in various capacities, most notably as a member of the Legislature. He has shown his fidelity by his loyal responsiveness, and his effective, disin- terested work.
