(VIII) JOHN ANDERSON DEWOLF was born April 5, 1832, in the 6th district of the town of Old Lyme. His early education was received in the schools of that district. The death of his father in 1847, however, threw upon the shoulders of the boy of fifteen the management of the home farm, and the brave lad also had a newspaper route through the town. At the age of eighteen years he engaged in a mercantile business in his home dis- trict, and in the carly sixties built a store at Black Hall, where he continued business for twelve years. He is probably the best known cattle dealer, and one of the most extensive real estate dealers, in this part of the county. Mr. De Wolf has held all the promi- nent offices within the gift of the people of his town, and was representative from Oldl Lyme in the ses . sions of 1866, 1867. 1874, 1877 and 1888.

ASAHEL ROWLAND DEWOLF was born at Black Hall, Conn., June 16, 1857. His early days were spent on the farm in Old Lyme, where he attended

school, and he was also a student at the Morgan school, at Clinton, Conn. After leaving school he worked upon the farm until he was twenty-three, and then spent five years in the store of his uncle, J. A. Rowland, in Old Lyme, after which he engaged in a lumber business with his uncle. George W. De Wolf, at Old Lyme, who in May, 1885. established a lumber yard at Niantic, under the firm name of G. W. DeWolf & Co., thus continuing until Nov. 7, 1891, when A. R. DeWolf succeeded to the busi- ness.

Asahel R: DeWolf was married in Old Lyme, Nov. 24, 1885, to Mary Elizabeth Morley, daughter of Charles L. Morley, of Lyme, who was a native of Feeding Hills, Mass., and for many years was a painter of Old Lyme. One child, Clara Irene, was born to Mr. and Mrs. DeWolf March 15. 1891.

Mr. DeWolf is a member of the A. O. U. W. and of the American Mechanics, and politically is a Democrat. He has held the office of selectman in East Lyme. He is treasurer of the Congregational Church Society in Niantic, and is a very enterprising and progressive man, highly respected by all.

GEORGE WINTHROP DEWOLF was born Jan. 26, 1841, in the house built by Gen. Stephen DeWolf, of the fifth generation. His school days were spent in the 6th school district of Lyme, and after he com- pleted his education he entered mercantile life, being so employed for a quarter of a century at Lyme and Black Hall, and also engaging in farming. Several years ago he established a lumberyard in Niantic, which he conducted from 1885 until 1891, when he turned it over to his nephew. He has been clerk of the Congregational Church Society for eight years, and has been town treasurer since 1877 : during 1880 and 188t he represented the town in the Legislature.

On Sept. 25. 1867. Mr. DeWolf was married in Lyme to Lena Champion, daughter of Calvin Burn- ham Champion.

ROGER WILLIAMS DEWOLF was born Feb. 11. 1837, in the 6th district of Lyme, where his school days were passed. At the age of fourteen years he began clerking for his brother John and thus con tinned for five years, and then bought out the store at Black Hall. continuing the business for thirty years, also farming and engaging in stock dealing. He also conducted a store in East Lame for three years. He now keeps thirty head of cattle and 130 head of sheep, in addition to other stock. Mr. DeVolt has been active in town att urs all his life. serving as representative in the State Legislature in 1883.

On Nov. 10, 1802, he married, in East Lyme. Julia M. Smith, who died Ang. 20, 181.

mond and Isabell. (3) Roger W., Jr., died at the age of six years. * (4) Agnes J. married James S. Beebe, of East Lyme,and their children are (X) Arthur and Julia.

This family, as before stated, is one of the oldest and most representative in the county, and its pres- ent members are men of influence and high stand- ing in their several communities. The tenth genera- tion is well represented by sturdy, intelligent chil- dren, who give promise of upholding the honored name in a manner worthy of it.

WILLIAM S. FLETCHER. No country in the world furnishes so many opportunities for ad- vancement as the United States. Nowhere else on the globe can a poor boy, by the use of honest means and industry, rise to important influential position and receive the honor and respect he so justly merits. The term "self-made" is much abused, but there are countless cases when it is most aptly used. Among the business men of Norwich who have hewn their own fortune without the aid and influ- ence of friends, and have made the long journey from poverty to comfortable competence, may be mentioned William S. Fletcher, a successful mer- chant at the Falls, Norwich, where he carries a fine line of dry goods and groceries.

William Fletcher, the grandfather of William S., was born July 26, 1774, son of Thomas Fletcher. In middle life he came to Norwich, Conn., and was engaged at teaming. He died at the advanced age of eighty-four years, and his wife, Sarah Young, daughter of James Young, born Feb. 18, 1776, whom he married Nov. 17, 1796, survived him, and died at the venerable age of ninety-five. Their chil- dren were: Abigail Smith, born Aug. 19, 1797; Freeborn Olney, Dec. 28, 1799; Mary Ann, Dec. 17, 1801; Susannah Dyer, Feb. 19, 1804; William Henry, March 28, 1806; Joseph Thompson, Aug. I, 1808; and Sterry Young, who was a steamboat captain on the Mississippi river, lived at Paducah. Ky., and is now dead.

Joseph Thompson Fletcher was born in Warren, R. I., where his father at that time was an operative in the old Slater mill. At the age of sixteen years he shipped as a cabin boy on a sailing-vessel, and made a trip to Europe. Later he was a sailor on vessels engaged in the West Indian trade, and before he was twenty-seven he became captain of a steam- ship owned by James L. Day, of Norwich. This vessel ran between New Orleans and Galveston, Texas, and Mr. Fletcher gave promise of fulfilling all the golden expectations of the owner for his young captain. At the end of the first trip, however, he was taken ill, and died of colic at Mobile, Ala., Aug. 19, 1835 ; he was buried at Dog River, that State. His wife, whom he married July 4, 1829, was Eliza Lamphere, born Nov. 1, 1811, in the town of Plainfield, Conn., daughter of Russell Lamphere. She later became the wife of Asahel A. Parkerson, whom she survived, and she died in Norwich at the

home of her son, William S., in 1896, at the age of eighty-four years. By her first marriage she became the mother of three children: Charles H., born March 8, 1831, was drowned at The Falls, Norwich, at the age of six years. William S. was second in the order of birth. Joseph E., born March 4, 1835, was a carpenter by trade, served during the Civil war in the 8th Conn. V. I., and was wounded at Antietam ; he married Ellen McDavid, who bore him two sons and one daughter, and he died at Clinton, Conn., in 1903. By the mother's marriage with Mr. Parkerson was born one son, Charles A., who for twenty-five years was a policeman on the New York force, and now lives retired in Freeport, New York.

William S. Fletcher was born Jan. 29, 1833, in Norwich, and was but two years old when his father died. His mother worked in a factory to support her little ones, who in early years became accus- tomed to hardships and self-denial. Until the. age of fourteen young William lived with relatives, doing such work as he could while he gained a meager education in the district schools. Leaving school in 1847, he began clerking in the store of the Falls Co., and remained there for two years, his wages at this time being $50 per year and board. The love of the sea was inherited from his father, and at the end of his engagement with the Falls Co. he went from Norwich on a scow loaded with ship timber for Noank, and then for two years was on various schooners in the coast trade, after which he shipped from Noank on the schooner "Lion," a fishing vessel from that place. Later he sailed on the "Colby Chew," of Niantic, engaged in halibut fishing along the Banks, and he was also on several other vessels, spending about four years altogether on the water. He returned to Norwich, and for four years was employed in the pistol factory of Cobb & Bacon, and for two years in the Manhattan Arms Co., the successor of the other firm. In 1858 he again became a clerk in the store of the Falls Co., and remained there for twenty-two years, or until 1880, when he purchased the store now owned by N. A. Bingham, and was there located until 1884. In that year he erected his present store. During all the years he was in the employ of others he applied himself assiduously to whatever task was before him. He had few leisure moments, for his is a nature that must be busy, a characteristic that soon made him indispensable to his employers. In his own store he gives every detail his personal attention, and his customers speak in high praise of the courteous attention they receive. He has built up a good trade, and carries a strictly first-class stock.

On Sept. 2, 1860, Mr. Fletcher was married in Norwich to Sarah L. Jewett, who was born Oct. 15, 1842, in Norwich, daughter of Eleazer and Sarah (Sherman) Jewett, and died May 15, 1899, aged fifty-six years. Three children came to bless their happy home: (1) William L., born March 8, 1862,

He married Ida Ogden, and has three children, Robert William, William Leslie and Hazel. (2) Cora E. is at home. (3) Bertha G. is the wife of William G. Browning, a traveling salesman, residing in Providence, R. I., and has one child, Gladys E.

Mr. Fletcher is a firm believer in Republican principles, but would never consent to run for office. He and his family attend the Methodist Church, and are interested in its many undertakings for the uplifting of humanity.

[There were several persons bearing the name of Fletcher who came early to America, one in the "Mayflower," but none left descendants excepting Robert Fletcher, who came from Yorkshire and set- tled at Concord, Mass., 1630. He had three sons, Luke, William and Samuel. Luke died probably unmarried. William married Lydia Bates and set- tled at Chelmsford. Samuel settled in that part of Chelmsford that became Westford. Another son, Francis, born at Concord in 1636, married Elizabeth, daughter of George and Katherine Wheeler ].
