youngest member of the House. At that time the members were biennially chosen, and from 1787 to 1812 he was elected a member thirty times, attended as many sessions and two more special sessions. His last term was in 1826, he then being the oldest member of the House. During his term in the House in 1795 he was one of the committee of eight members which sold to the Connecticut Company for $1,200,000 the strip then called New Connecticut, but now known as the Western Reserve of the great State of Ohio. He held the office of State's attorney until May, 1807, when he was appointed Chief Judge of the County Court, and Judge of Probate, which offices he held until 1825, when he arrived at the age of seventy years, and was exempted by law, having reached the age limit. He was chosen a member of the XVth United States Congress in October, 1818, and served one term.

From the commencement of his law practice until 1810 Judge Gilbert always had one or more law students in his office, and in that year he began to read lectures to a number of pupils, and continued at this business about seven years, having generally from six to ten students in his office. This school became a famous institution and it drew students from all over New England and several came from the South. Among his scholars was the famous Henry Clay. His students settled in different parts of the country and five of them became members of Congress.

Judge Gilbert devoted the latter years of his life to superintending his large farm, and his death occurred at his home in Hebron, Jan. 2, 1846; his remains were deposited in the old cemetery on the Andover road, near Hebron Green. Judge Gilbert was a strong opponent of slavery, and when his former pupil, Henry Clay, was a candidate for the Presidency his former teacher wrote him a char- acteristic letter informing him that he would not support him because he was a slave owner. Judge Gilbert was a consistent member of the Congrega- tional Church, having united at the age of eighteen years, when at Dartmouth College, and transferred to the Hebron Church. In 1828 he presented to the church in Hebron a site for the church which was erected on it. He was a deacon for many years. He amassed considerable property.

The wife of Judge Gilbert was Patience Barber, born in April, 1757, daughter of David Barber, Esq., and his wife Abigail. Mrs. Gilbert died May 13, 1838, after a happy wedded life of sixty-three years. Their children were: (I) Samuel, born Jan. 13, 1775, was the father of Nathan S. (2) Abigail married Josiah Barber, and they were among the early settlers of what is now Cleveland, Ohio.

The bank, which is the largest in the State, had Joseph Langdon, son of Reuben, for its vice-president many years. They had nine children, Gilbert, Abby, Ann, Joseph, George, Elizabeth, Ellen, Charles and Reu- ben. (8) William Pitt, who was a cabinetmaker, died in Hebron unmarried.

( VI) Samuel Gilbert was born in Hebron and learned the trade of goldsmith in Hartford, whither he went when a young man. After learning his trade he returned to Hebron and followed that busi- ness the rest of his life. He made a specialty of gold and silver knee buckles, repaired watches and clocks, in fact, did everything in the line of his trade, and he also conducted a small farm. His establishment was on the north side of the Green at Hebron, and in busy times he employed several men. In the lat- ter years he was not so active in his business, but yet was engaged at it until his death, which occurred in Hebron quite suddenly while he was sitting in his chair, Oct. 23, 1850. Politically he was a Whig, but never would accept political office. He was a member of the Methodist Church and was active in its affairs. Samuel Gilbert married Anna Good- speed, of East Haddam, Conn., daughter of Nathan and Mary (Kellogg) Goodspeed. She passed away on Nov. 26, 1850, aged seventy-one years. To her marriage with Samuel Gilbert came one child, Nathan Samuel, born July 16, 1815, in Hebron.

The first Goodspeed to come to this country was Roger Goodspeed, who came to America in 1639, settled at Barnstable, Mass., married Alice Layton, and died in 1685. His sixth son, Ebenezer, was born in 1655, and he married Lydia Crowell, of Yar- mouth, by whom he had thirteen children, the young- est of whom, Moses, was the direct ancestor of our subject. Moses Goodspeed was born Nov. 24, 1704, at Barnstable, Mass., married Hannah Allen in 1726,

and had six children, his fifth child, Nathan, being born March 7, 1735. Nathan Goodspeed moved from Barnstable, Cape Cod, Mass., to East Haddam in 1758, and "Goodspeed's Landing" in that town was named after his descendants.

Nathan S. Gilbert attended the district school of Hebron until the age of fifteen years, when he decided to learn a trade. Being the only child, his parents were at first much opposed to his going away from home, but his wishes finally prevailed, and he came to Norwich to learn the trade of cabinetmaker, with Henry Allen. Mr. Gilbert remained with Mr. Allen until that gentleman met with business re- verses, and then bought the business. Soon after- ward Deacon Horace Colton and Henry Ruggles were taken into the firm, undertaking was added, and the firm was known as Colton, Gilbert & Rug- gles. They had one store on Broadway and another on Shetucket street. During the war the business was divided, Mr. Gilbert keeping the furniture fac- tory and the partners a store each. The undertaking business was sold to Henry Allen and is now con- ducted by Henry Allen & Son. Mr. Gilbert soon afterward formed a partnership with James Lane, and they opened a furniture store on Main street under the name of Gilbert & Lane, and so con- tinued until the death of Mr. Lane, when Mr. Gil- bert purchased the interest of his partner's heirs. and conducted the business alone until his two sons were taken into partnership, and the firm assumed its present name, N. S. Gilbert & Sons. The estab- lishment, which handles furniture, house furnishings and carpets, is one of the best known in its line in castern Connecticut, the firm being the leading deal- ers in Norwich. They do both a wholesale and re- tail business.

Mr. Gilbert at his advanced age is as well pre- served as most men of fifteen years his junior. He enjoys perfect health, and every day, when possible. is at the factory and personally looks after that branch of the business.

Mr. Hovey continued actively engaged in the prac- tice of law until 1876, and in the latter few years of that period was associated in the practice of law with Hon. John M. Thayer.

The public career of Mr. Hovey began in 1841, when he was appointed general assignee in bank- ruptcy for New London county, and while so em- ployed he settled in the neighborhood of 160 bank- rupt estates. In 1842-43 he was executive secre- tary under Gov. Cleveland. He was senior alder- man from 1849 to 1853, and also served

WILLIAM H. TERRY, a successful farmer and dairyman, residing in the northern part of the town of Lebanon, was born Feb. 6, 1850, in Exeter, R. I., a son of Seth W. and Dorcas (Crowell) Terry. The Terry family is an old one in New England, the ancestor, from whom Mr. Terry is in the seventh generation, having been among the early settlers at Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Seth W. Terry was in his active years a farmer and lumber dealer, and did a large business in ship timber, which was cut, and then delivered at the docks. He was the father of nine children, of whom three boys and four girls lived to reach mature life. One of these children, Clark O., is the general man- ager of the J. A. Lewis vegetable and fruit farm at Willimantic, Connecticut.

William H. Terry attended the district school in his native town until he was fourteen years of age, although his summer seasons were spent in hard work upon the farm. When he was fourteen he began working out by the month, his first em- ployer being the late William S. Breed, of Sprague,

Conn., and though he was able to do almost as much work as a man he only received $12 a month. Often his day's work began before the sun was up and continued until long after dark. In these more enlightened times the young people have but little idea of the hardships suffered by their forebears, which were then considered very ordinary things, unworthy of any special notice. Mr. Terry con- tinued working in this manner until the age of twenty-one years, in the towns of Sprague and Plainfield, in Connecticut, and in Jamestown, R. I. Later he was employed by Peter Gadbois, in Mont- ville, Conn., and from there, in 1869, he went to Willimantic, Conn., and entered the employ of J. A. Lewis, a market gardener. After leaving his employ the young man went to Providence, R. I., and drove an express wagon for a short time.

On Feb. 14, 1870, Mr. Terry began to learn the trade of molder in the foundry of A. C. Barstow & Co., receiving $4.50 per week the first year, and $5.50 per week the next year. After he had mas- tered the trade he continued with this firm for a short period, and then went to Boston, where he was employed in the foundry of Pratt & Wentworth, remaining there for a year. Returning to A. C. Barstow & Co., he continued there until 1883, having a number of apprentices under him. His health failing, he was obliged to give up his trade, and on Dec. 12, 1883, purchased his present farm from William F. Gates, the property being known as the "John Tew place." It consisted of sixty acres, and later Mr. Terry purchased the "Brewster place," which held about forty-eight acres, and later the "Brown place," now having a farm of 172 acres. In 1893 he erected upon this property his house, and he has also put up nearly all of his farm build- ings. In 1886 Mr. Terry began devoting particular attention to dairying, and in September, 1888, he established a milk route in Willimantic, and con- tinued it until 1891. He is also engaged in general farming, dealing in wood, and market gardening, and since Feb. 1, 1903, has been agent for the Oak- dale Manufacturing Company, of Providence, R. I., dealers in all kinds of dairy products, looking after their extensive interests in this section ; he has entire charge of their affairs here.

On June 8, 1871, Mr. Terry was married in Providence, R. I., to Adeline G. Rounds, who was born Sept. 12, 1856, a native of Providence, and a daughter of Philip and Adeline G. (Remington) Rounds. Mrs. Terry is a worthy helpmeet, a kind wife and mother. The children born to this union are as follows : Estella Gardner, born Feb. 9, 1873, married Alfred Lathrop, and resides in Willimantic ; Annabelle, born Nov. 5, 1874, married Wentworth Allen, resides in Providence, R. I., and has two chil- dren, Wentworth H. and Verabelle; Ezra Crowell, born March 19, 1876, was for several years a tele- graph operator at Willimantic, but is now attending Yale Law School, educating himself by his own efforts ; Adeline Gertrude, born Dec. 15, 1877, mar-

In politics Mr. Terry is a Republican ; he has never cared for office. He is a member of the Wood River (R. I.) Baptist Church, with which he united when sixteen years of age. Mr. Terry has always been a hard working man, and as he is entirely self- made the success which has attended him is such as to gain him the confidence of all who know him.
