(VII) Albert Charles Chandler, born Nov. 15, 1822, was educated in the public schools of Pom- fret and Woodstock Academy, and subsequently taught school in Windham county (principally in the town of Killingly) and in Holland, Mass. Later he settled down to farming in Pomfret, occupying a part of the Chandler homestead which had been handed down from David, Silas and Charles Chand- ler in direct line, and was owned by David's father, Joseph Chandler, who had it of his father, Deacon John Chandler, to whom it was set off in the divi- sions of the original proprietors, Albert. Charles be- ing of the sixth generation in possession. He re- mained there until 1867, and in 1868 he located on a farm in Woodstock, near the Putnam line, where he passed the rest of his life. His death occurred in 1898, and he is buried in the family lot in Pom- fret cemetery.

On March 10, 1850, Mr. Chandler married Ma- rissa Phebe Davis, who was born July 18, 1824, in East Granby, Conn., and died Jan. 3, 1902, on the farm in Woodstock ; she is buried in Pomfret ceme- tery.

Stanton, civil engineer on city yand general civil engineering. On the death of the latter, in 1877, Mr. Chandler purchased the business. For twenty-five years he acted as city engineer for Nor- wich, and is still engineer for the board of water commissioners. During the whole of this time he has acted as civil engineer for many towns, corpora- tions and individuals in Connecticut and adjoining States. He has been connected as engineer in some way with most of the engineering works and suits- at-law requiring expert testimony in eastern Con- necticut during the past twenty-five years.

Mr. Chandler is a member of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers, the Boston Society of Civil Engineers, the New England Water Works Association, the Connecticut State Board of Engin- eers having supervision of dams and reservoirs, and of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution. He is now (1904) president of the Norwich Board of Trade and a director of the Chel- sea Savings Bank. Since 1897 he has had as a part- ner Mr. Shepard B. Palmer.

On Oct. 30, 1876, Mr. Chandler was united in marriage with Francis Eugenie Brown, of Gris- wold, Conn., and they have one child, Albert Rich- ard, born May 25, 1884, who is at present a student in the Norwich Free Academy. A daughter, Alice, was born July 6, 1882, and died Feb. 5, 1883. Mrs. Chandler's parents were Squire Richard Brown and Lucretia Tracy. The former was son of Richard Brown and Zeruiah Buttolph, of Griswold, and grandson of George Buttolph, a Revolutionary sol- dier, and Nabby Dye. Lucretia Tracy was daughter of Archibald Tracy and Mary Perigo, and grand- daughter of William Tracy and Mary Burnhan and of Ebenezer Perigo and Polly Rood. Ebenezer Perigo and six brothers served in the war of the American Revolution.

LADD. This old settled New England family, members of which still hold prominent positions in the business world of New London county, Conn., traces its American ancestry to Daniel Ladd. Ed- ward Wilds Ladd, of London, says that his an- cestors, "first Ladds came to England with William the Conqueror from France, settled at Deal, Kent County, where a portion of lands were granted them, eight miles from Dover Downes. Name spelled Lad, Lade, Ladd. His remote ancestors were seafaring people, Government pilots at Margate."

(I) Daniel Ladd on March 24, 1633-34, took the accustomed oath to pass to New England in the "Mary and John," of London. He is first of record in New England in 1637, on Feb. 5th of which yea he was granted land at Ipswich, and in 1639 he is o record at Salisbury. He removed from the latte place to Haverhill, Mass., of which town he was on

MARVIN LADD, born May 2. 1831. in Franklin. Com., received his education in the district schools in his native town. Leaving school when between fifteen and sixteen years old, he went into the mill (woolen) at Baltic, where he worked for about seven years, the last two years having charge of the "carding" department.

went with the King Woolen Co., who had a mill at Eagleville, now Versailles, where he remained in charge of the carding for about eight months, until the mill changed hands. Then he came to Mont- ville and took charge of the carding in the Pequot Woolen Mill, where he remained about six years. At this time he took up his residence in Montville, where he resided until January, 1905, when he re- moved to New London, and is now living retired. After leaving the Pequot mill Mr. Ladd went to Stafford Springs and had charge of the carding in the Julius Converse mill, where he continued for about eight months, at the end of that time re- turning to Montville and taking charge of carding and spinning in the R. G. Hooper & Co. mill at Palmertown, where he remained for ten years, in 1887 retiring from the mill work. He conducted a small farm of fifteen acres until his removal to New London. Mr. Ladd is a Republican in political sentiment. He attends the Methodist Episcopal Church of Uncasville, of which his wife is a mem- ber, and he serves as trustee of the church.

Mr. Ladd was married, Nov. 19, 1856, to Abby Jane Church, of Norwich, Conn., daughter of Al- fred and Abigail (Coon) Church, and to this union have come children as follows: (1) John Edwin died aged one and one-half years. (2) Frank M. is mentioned below. (3) Arthur James, born June 5, 1872, in Montville, attended the Uncasville schools, then went to Norwich Free Academy for four years, graduating in 1891, and subsequently entered the Scientific School of Yale University, whence he was graduated in 1894. He then became assistant superintendent of Booth Bros. quarries, in Waterford, later became superintendent, and after a time went to Senora, Mexico, where he was assistant manager of the Melczer Mining Co. He remained there about one year, when the mines were shut down, and has since been associated with his brother, Frank M. In May, 1904, at the organization of the F. M. Ladd Construction Co., he was elected secretary of the company. He has immediate charge of the mechanical drawings of the company. He is unmarried.

FRANK MARVIN LADD was born in Hanover, town of Sprague, New London Co., Conn., Oct. 7, 1865. When he was about seven years of age his parents removed to Montville, Conn., and there his schooling was begun. He later entered the Nor- wich Free Academy, from which he was graduated in 1884, after which he became a student of the Institute of Technology, of Boston, Mass., from which he was graduated in 1888. He then became superintendent of the Millstone Quarries, in the town of Waterford, remaining in that capacity for twelve years, a portion of which time was spent in New York in the interests of his firm. In 1900 he started in business on his own account, purchasing the monumental business of the late Charles F. Stoll, on Bank street, which he has since very suc- cessfully conducted. He also branched out in the

general contracting and construction business in 1903, and in 1904 was incorporated the F. M. Ladd Co., general contractors and builders, with a cap- ital stock of $50,000, of which Mr. Ladd was elected president and treasurer. This company is prepared to take contracts for construction of any size. Its first contract, and one that will stand as a monu- ment to its ability for doing fine work, is the New London Savings Bank building on North Main street, one of the very finest bank structures in Connecticut. Mr. Ladd gives employment to about forty hands in his monumental business, and about sixty are engaged by the construction company, about 100 in all. His success is another evidence of what can be accomplished by a young man with pluck and perseverance, who is willing to work hard for good returns. The concern of which he is the practical head is the foremost one of its kind in eastern Connecticut.

Socially Mr. Ladd is a member of several fra- ternal organizations. He is affiliated with Brainard Lodge, No. 102, F. & A. M .; Union Chapter, No. 7, R. A. M .; Cushing Council, No. 4, R. & S. M .; and Palestine Commandery, No. 6, K. T., of New London. In the Chapter he has served as Captain of the Hosts, and in the commandery he has been Captain General. He is also a member of Pequot Lodge, No. 85, I. O. O. F., of New London ; of the B. P. O. Elks, of New London; and of the Thames Club, of New London, of which in 1904 he was elected president. Mr. Ladd is a stanch Repub- lican, and has served the city of New London as alderman from the Fifth ward, and was water com- missioner of the city for two years. In 1904 he was the Republican candidate for mayor of the city, but was defeated by a small majority.

Mr. Ladd was married, Nov. 19, 1889, to Ida L. Church, daughter of Norman B. Church, of Montville, and they have had four children, Mer- rill (who died young); Marian (who died young), Herbert and Stanley.

NOYES. The Noyes family is one of the oldest in Lyme, New London county, where Rev. Moses Noyes was the first pastor of the Congregational Church. Lyme was incorporated as a town in 1667, and the year previous Rev. Moses Noyes settled there as spiritual director of the people. His first church was a rude log cabin, but he preached the gospel in its purity, and laid a strong and deep foun- dation of religious teaching in the hearts of the people.

(II) Moses Noyes was born in Newbury, Mass., Dec. 6, 1643, son of (I) Rev. James Noyes, who came from England in 1634, with his younger brother, Nicholas, and his cousin, Thomas Parker. James Noyes was educated in Brasenose College, Oxford, and then became assistant to Mr. Parker in his school. He married Sarah, eldest daughter of Joseph Brown, of Southampton, and soon after- ward came to America, where he was associated with

Mr. Parker in the pastorate of the Newbury Church. He was a man of singular gifts, of great piety and unswerving truthfulness, and was an implacable enemy of all heresy and schism. He had a rarely tenacious memory, and profound judgment, and was known and honored for his great resolution and courage. Mr. Parker, who was a bachelor, and made his home with Mr. Noyes, was a graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, and under his instruc- tion Moses and James, sons of Rev. James Noyes, were fitted for Harvard. They entered college at the very early ages of twelve and fifteen, and grad- uated in 1659. James Noyes was called to the Church in Stonington, in 1664, and accepted and became its pastor in 1674.

At the age of nineteen Moses Noyes was invited to preach in the North Church in Boston, and sev- eral of his sermons delivered in that church are in the possession of the family of one of his lineal descendants, the late Mrs. Ellen N. Chadwick, of Lyme. He came to Lyme in 1666, and for over twenty years taught and guided the people, en- couraging them to form a church society, and build a place of worship. It was not until 1693, however, that the church was formally organized, and Mr. Noyes elected as pastor. The place selected for the meeting-house was on the brow of one of the beautiful hills overlooking Long Island Sound, and at the mouth of the Connecticut river. Why the church was not organized earlier, in a place where public worship was maintained and the minister sup- ported, is an unsolved problem, the early records of both church and town having been lost. In the same year as that in which the church was organized Mr. Noyes had the honor of preaching the election sermon, which was printed in Boston and distributed through the Colony. In 1708 he was deputed by the council of New London to attend the meeting of the Synod in Saybrook, in September, of that year. for the purpose of forming the "Saybrook Plat- form." At this meeting his brother James was senior moderator.

Rev. Moses Noves was a man of mark among the clergy of the Colony, a man of extensive learn- ing, a judicious divine, a strict Calvinist in doctrine. and withal an excellent Christian. His duties as both preacher and pastor were faithfully performed. and he left to Lyme the memory of a highly culti- vated and dignified Christian minister, He married Ruth, daughter of John Pickett, of New London, and great-granddaughter of Elder Brewster, of "Mayflower" fame. They had four children. Moses, John, Ruth and Sarah. Rev. Moses Noves died in 1729, at the age of eighty-six. The house in which he lived stood until 1814. when it was taken down ind a new one built near the old site, The house and lands have remained in the possession of the family, being at present the property of Walter Chadwick Noyes, who is also the owner of the staff used by his venerated ancestor.

From Rev. Moses Noves the line is continued

through (III) Moses, who married Mary Ely, of Lyme; (IV) Judge William Noyes, son of the forc- going, who married Eunice Marvin ; and (V) Capt. Joseph Noyes, son of Judge William, who married in 1786, Jane, daughter of Capt. Enoch and Hepzi- bah (Marvin) Lord. Capt.

Y., after which he entered Cornell University. In 1883 he began the study of law with Hon. Daniel Chadwick of Old Lyme, and Samuel Park of New London, and in 1886 was admitted to the Bar in New London county. On Feb. 1. 1895, he was elected judge of the court of common pleas, being re-elected in 1899, and again in 1903. He is a mem- ber of the well-known law firm, Brandegee, Noyes & Brandegee, established in 1801, and is president of the New London Northern Railroad Company. . \ work by Judge Noyes entitled ".A Treatise on the Law of Intercorporate Relations" was published in 1902 by Little, Brown & Co., of Boston. This trea- tise has won the encomiums of Bench, Bar and press, and has already run through three editions.

His early school days were passed in Lyme, and later he attended the famous Bacon Academy at Colchester. In 1820 he built the home now occupied by his son Charles R., the tim- bers of the house and barn having been blown down in the September gale of 1815. He was an old line Whig, and later a Republican, but was not an office- seeker. His only public position was that of con- stable, which he held for a time, during which he was obliged to punish an offender by whipping him at the post, under the old Connecticut law.
