His de- scendants were identified with the town of Taunton, Massachusetts, where they were proprietors of iron works, and but few definite records of them remain, since the town records of Taunton prior to 1800 were burned in 1838, although some were preserved with the proprietors' reports and a few extremely early accounts with the Plymouth Colony records.

THAYER, George Gershom, Esteemed Citizen.
The late George Gershom Thayer was a quiet citizen of Middletown, who never sought for public office, nor any sort of notoriety, but was widely respected for his sterling character. His ancestry was of the best, and in his life he exemplified the precepts handed down by those who preceded him. The name of Thayer is derived from an occupation, and was early spelled "Tayer, Tawier and Taw- yer." It is a trade name for one who dresses skins, and there was no letter H in it until after descendants came from England. The English home of the fam- ily was at Thornboro, in the western part of Gloucestershire, eleven miles north of Bristol, near the river Severn. The name is now extinct at that place. The Thorn- boro Parish register begins in 1538, but there are several breaks subsequent to that time in the records of baptisms and other vital statistics.
(I) Thomas Thayer, founder of the family in this country, was born in Thorn- boro, and came to America before 1639, in which year he had a grant of seventy- six acres at Braintree, Massachusetts. At that time there were nine persons in his family. He was a shoemaker by trade, was admitted a freeman in 1647, and died June 2, 1665. He married, in England, April 3, 1618, Marjory Wheeler, who died February II, 1642.
(II) Shadrach Thayer, third son of Thomas and Marjory (Wheeler) Thayer, was baptized May 10, 1629, and died October 19, 1678. He married Deliver- ance Priest, daughter of James and Lydia Priest, of Weymouth, Massachusetts, born in 1644, died January 17, 1723, the mother of a large family.
(III) William Thayer, ninth child of Shadrach and Deliverance (Priest) Thay-
er, was born August 1, 1675, and settled in Braintree, Massachusetts, where he married, September 27, 1692, Widow Hannah Haywood.
(IV) Jonathan Thayer, eldest son of William and Hannah (Haywood) Thayer, was born May 2, 1703, died in 1805, at the age of one hundred and two years. The baptizmal name of his wife was Tabatha, and they were married in 1728. They probably resided somewhere in Middlesex county.
(V) Gershom Thayer, son of Jonathan and Tabatha Thayer, was born in 1747. He resided in Haddam, where he mar- ried, September 19, 1765, Susanna Hazel- ton, of that town.
(VI) Gershom (2) Thayer, son of Ger- shom (1) and Susanna (Hazelton) Thay- er, was born February 3, 1773, in Middle- town, and died November 25, 1834. He married Sarah Arnold, born August 10, 1779, daughter of Ambrose Arnold, of Haddam, and she lived to a good old age. In early life he was a Whig and took an active part in political affairs.
(VII) Gershom (3) Thayer, son of Gershom (2) and Sarah (Arnold) Thayer, removed to Postenkill, Rensselaer county, New York, where he died. He married Mary Ann Wheeler, and they were the parents of George Gershom, of whom fur- ther.
(VIII) George Gershom Thayer, son of Gershom (3) and Mary Ann (Wheeler) Thayer, was born June 19, 1854, in Pos- tenkill, New York, and died February 15, 1920, in Middletown, Connecticut. He was educated in the public schools, and Eastman's Business College of Pough- keepsie, New York. Soon after coming to Middletown, he became a clerk in Gardner's grocery store, where he con- tinued several years. Later, he was a partner of Joseph B. Seers in the grocery business, subsequently conducting a store

alone, and after that with Wilbur F. Ack- ley, under the style of Ackley & Com- pany. At one time he engaged in farm- ing on Farm Hill, and retired about 1917. He was a prominent member of Christ Church, South Farms, was at one time a member of the Royal Arcanum, but with- drew from that order. A man of superior intelligence, he read much, was always actively interested in human progress, and was a strong adherent of the Repub- lican party in political affairs. Possessed of a good memory, he accumulated a large store of information, and was a most interesting conversationalist.
Mr. Thayer married, October 18, 1876, Alice M. Sears, who was born April 23, 1856, in Middletown, daughter of Joseph Badger and Adaline C. (Blatchley) Sears, of Middletown and Killingworth. Their children were six in number: Joseph Sears, employed by the Russell Manufac- turing Company; Ethel May, died De- cember 29, 1921, at the home of her widowed mother; Harry Smith, residing on Durham avenue, Middletown, is a painter by occupation; George Gershom, a printer, employed in Middletown; Rob- ert Edwin, a farmer, resides in that town ; and Alice Adaline, a telephone operator, resides with her mother.
The Sears family is one of the oldest in Middlesex county, and was very early established in England. Thomas Sayre was born in 1590, in Bedfordshire, Eng- land, and was one of the eight "Under- takers" (promoters) who came from Eng- land to America in the early part of 1630. He and his son were allotted sixty acres of land in Lynn, Massachusetts, and he was among the large company which went from that town to settle Southampton, Long Island. The dwelling which he erected there in 1648 is still standing and in possession of his descendants. He died in 1670. His second son, Daniel Seers,
located at Bridgehampton, Long Island, where he died in 1707. He married (first) Hannah Foster, (second) Sarah Robin- son. Presumably his children were born of the first marriage. The youngest son, Daniel Seers, was a yeoman of Southamp- ton, Long Island, whence he removed to Middletown, Connecticut. On November 25, 1720, he received from William Bailey a deed of one hundred and fifty (150) acres in the Maromas district of Middle- town, upon which he soon after made his home. About this time the spelling of the name was changed to Sears. He mar- ried Mary Atwood, and their fifth son, Stephen Sears, was baptized February 29, 1724, in Middletown, and dwelt on the paternal homestead on the banks of the Connecticut river, extending from Maro- mas to Higganum. He married, July 10, 1766, Mary Chapman, of East Haddam, and their eldest son was Stephen Sears, born December II, 1768, died November 16, 1807. He married Phoebe Knowles, who died in March, 1807. Their second son, Elisha Sears, born January 26, 1801, was reared upon the farm, and for many years in early life taught school in the Hubbard and South Farms districts of Middletown, and engaged in agriculture in later years. He married, November 28, 1822, Esther Southmayd Hendley, born August 4, 1802, daughter of Henry and Esther H. Hendley. The eldest of their children was Joseph Badger Sears, born August 16, 1823. He attended school in the South Farms district and, later, the high school of Middletown. As a youth he passed several years before the mast at sea, made several trips to the East Indies and along the American coasts. Before attaining his majority, he assisted in the conduct of a grocery store operated by his father at South Farms, and later became a partner in the business, which was conducted several years under the
120

name of Elisha Sears & Son. He next engaged in contracting for painting and paper hanging, and for a long time em- ployed a considerable force of men. Sub- sequently, he was a partner in the grocery of G. G. Thayer & Company, on Main street, Middletown. Late in life he dis- posed of his interest and spent his last days in retirement at his pleasant home on Farm Hill. He was a regular attend- ant and supporter of the South Church in Middletown, and though a staunch Democrat in politics, took no part in pub- lic affairs. He died August 7, 1892, after several years of declining health, and his body was laid to rest in Pine Grove Ceme- tery. He married, September 15, 1851, Adaline C. Blatchley, who was born Octo- ber 13, 1830, in Killingworth, daughter of Leander and Hulda (Wilcox) Blatchley. Her father was a joiner and contractor. Alice M. Sears, senior daughter of Joseph B. Sears, was born April 23, 1856, and be- came the wife of George Gershom Thayer, as above noted.
CONNERY, James Francis, Business Man, Public Official.
Identified throughout his active life with business affairs of Middletown, Mr. Connery has gained the respect and esteem of his contemporaries, who have honored him with the highest office in the city, and his conduct of this office justifies the confidence placed in him. He was born February 28, 1870, in Rockyhill, Con- necticut, son of Michael and Catherine (McCarthy) Connery. Michael Connery was born about 1837, in County Water- ford, Ireland, and when a boy of eight years joined his uncles in America, resid- ing in Windsor. He married, in Hart- ford, Catherine McCarthy, a native of County Cork, Ireland. Previous to his marriage, he had purchased a farm in that
portion of Wethersfield which is now Rockyhill, where he had been employed as a coachman by Silas Robbins, and his wife was employed in the family of Deacon Edward Robbins. The farm in Rockyhill, which he tilled from the time of his marriage, is still in possession of their children. Mr. Connery died March 6, 1875, at the age of thirty-eight years, and his wife died in March, 1904, at the age of seventy-two years, in Rockyhill. They were the parents of a daughter and two sons. The daughter resides in Rocky- hill and the sons in Middletown.
James Francis Connery attended the schools in Rockyhill and pursued a course at Huntsinger's Business College in Hartford. After leaving school he was employed for six years by the Pope Manufacturing Company, of Hartford, becoming thoroughly familiar with the manufacture of bicycles. In 1896 he made a contract with the Worcester Cycle Com- pany to build bicycles in its factory on Hamlin street, Middletown, where the Westinghouse Electric Company is now located. This continued for two years till March, 1898, when he entered into a
partnership with William Campbell and purchased the business of Ryan, Barrows & Parker, and has since engaged in the sale and repair of bicycles. Within a few months Campbell retired and for many years Mr. Connery has conducted the business alone. He also deals in auto- mobile supplies, sewing machines and victrola graphophones, and conducts a very successful business, handling a large number of musical instruments.
Of genial nature and social instincts he has become identified with many of the societies of Middletown, including Mid- dletown Lodge, No. 771, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Forest City Council, No. 3, Knights of Columbus ; and St. Aloysius Total Abstinence and Benev-
I2I

olent Society, of Middletown. He is also a member of the Young Men's Christian Association and of the Middletown Yacht Club. He has ever been active in com- munity service, and is a member of the Social Service League and the Chamber of Commerce. He is a director of the Middletown Home Corporation and treas- urer of the Knights of Columbus Home Corporation. In political affiliation, Mr. Connery has always acted with the Demo- cratic party. In 1907-08 he was a member of the City Council, and in 1910-II, of the Board of Aldermen. In 1920 he was elected mayor of the city for a term of two years.
James Francis Connery married, Octo- ber 4, 1893, Alice M. Botsford, who was born August 22, 1875, in Plainville, Con- necticut, youngest child of James and Frances (Barrows) Botsford.
Mrs. Alice M. Connery is descended from Henry Botsford, who was in Mil- ford, Connecticut, in 1639, and died there in 1686. His wife, Elizabeth, joined the church in 1640, and their eldest child and only son, Elnathan Botsford, was bap- tized August 14, 1641. He joined the church, February 17, 1669, and died Sep- tember 10, 1691. He married, October 14, 1667, Hannah Baldwin, who was bap- tized in August, 1644, in Milford, daugh- ter of Timothy and Mary Baldwin, of Guilford, later of Milford. Moses Bots- ford, born about 1680, was undoubtedly a son of Elnathan (since the latter was the only male of his generation in Milford), and was residing in Newtown in 1712, with his wife, Sarah. Their eldest son, Theophilus Botsford, was born March 23, 1730. His son, Theophilus Botsford, born in 1758, died February 19, 1841. He mar- ried, April 10, 1781, in Middletown, Dolly Bidwell, born June 8, 1759, eldest daugh- ter of Samuel and Juana (Hubbard) Bid- well, of that town, descended from Rich-
ard Bidwell, an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut, where he died December 25, 1647. The name of Bidwell is of Norman origin, and had many forms in early Eng- lish records. One of the oldest castles in England is Biddulph Castle, in Norfolk, built about 1066. John Bidwell, son of Richard Bidwell, was born in England, and was an early settler of Hartford, where he had a house on the east side of Trumbull street, in 1640. He received lands in the allotment of 1639, and in 1666 received an allotment in East Hart- ford. In association with Joseph Bull, he received two hundred acres in the com- mon lands, with privilege of cutting tim- ber on the common, to encourage them in the operation of a saw mill. His will was dated February 10, 1680, and mentions his wife, Sarah. She was a daughter of John and Mary Wilcox. John and Sarah Bidwell were members of the Second Church of Hartford, organized in Febru- ary, 1672. He died in 1687, and she, June 15, 1690. Their son, Samuel Bidwell, born 1650, settled in Middletown, where he was married, November 4, 1672, to Elizabeth Stow, daughter of Thomas and Mary Stow. Thomas Stow was born in England, son of John and Elizabeth Stow, early in Middletown, coming from Con- cord, Massachusetts. Samuel Bidwell, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Stow) Bid- well, was born June 10, 1677, in Middle- town, and died there April 5, 1715. His second wife bore the baptizmal name of Abigail, but his marriage to her is not of record. Her eldest child and his second son, Moses Bidwell, born January 9, 1698, married, May 20, 1729, Dorothy Ward, born July 25, 1711, fourth daughter of Sergeant William and Abigail (Collins) Ward, granddaughter of John and Mary (Harris) Ward, of Middletown.

CALEF, Arthur Benjamin, Lawyer, Public Official.
The late Judge Arthur B. Calef, of Middletown, Connecticut, a descendant of an old Massachusetts and New Hamp- shire family, bore forward worthily the record of a family which has been distin- guished for integrity, industry and initia- tive.
The founder of the family in this coun- try was Robert Calef, born about 1648 in England, who came to Boston, Massachu- setts, in 1688. In 1707 he removed to Roxbury, where he died April 13, 1719. He was active in opposition to the Witch-
craft delusion, and in 1700 published a book entitled, "More Wonders of the In- visible World." He held various offices in Boston and Roxbury, and was recog- nized as a man of intellectual force and executive ability. His wife, Mary, died in November, 1719, surviving him less than a year.
