GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.

brick structure east of the Neptune building. After he had been with them about two years his father bought for him from Washington Smith, the store at No. 42 Coit street, where he was afterward lo- cated, he himself being too young to sign the papers. There he remained for a period of fifty-seven years, continuing to carry the same line of goods, dry goods, shoes and paper hangings. He subsequently started a grocery in an addition which he built, and conducted same for about twenty years, but this was long ago disposed of. In 1878 he opened a dry goods and sewing machine store in State street, which he sold after some time to W. P. Benjamin & Co., and he also ran another store on lower Bank street, but he came to the conclusion that the extra demands on his time and attention were greater than the extra profits, and gave them up. continuing his original business without interruption. He was called the "dean of New London merchants" his record of business activity being unequalled in New London, perhaps in Connecticut. He was what is termed an old-fashioned business man, his prestige depending as much upon his personal character as upon his business methods, and both were irreproach- able. No resident of New London was held in higher esteem, either personally or in business cir- cles.

Mr. Morgan was married, Feb. 23, 1851, to Lucretia P. Loomis, of Salem, who was born Sept. 6, 1831, daughter of Hubbel and Sophronia (Strickland ) Loomis, of Salem. Their wedded life covered a period of over fifty-three years. They had one child, Kate Louise, who lives at home. The family belonged to the Second Congregational Church of New London, and in politics Mr. Mor- gan was a stanch Republican. Though strictly a business man, he found time to give Ins town two terms of service as member of the board of select- men, and one term as assessor. He died July S. 1904, and was buried in Cedar Grove cemetery.

JOHN DOLBEAARE, now deceased, was a worthy descendant of one of New England's prom hent early families and a well known agr.culturist of the town of Ledyard. He was born Jan. 3. 1828. in Montville, Connecticut.

(1) John Dolbeare, the emigrant ancestor of the family bearing the Dolbeare name, came from Wales to the Colonies with his wife, whose name It not been ascertained, and settled at Boston, Mass, about 1720, where some of his descendants resided 101 a number of years, and where some of then part i pated in the famous "Boston Tea Party, dommp their part in tossing the tea overboard mto the any Tradition says the Dolbeare coat of arts how th family once to have been the fourth tanul in the kingdom of Great Britain. It is reported that les. the emigrant, had twenty fom chililien, twentys two sons and two daughters. Lorenzo Des "George Dolbeare, the youngest, was the twogt fourth child."

John Dolleare purchased a tract of land of James Harris, situated between Gardner's Lake an ! Oxoboxo Pond. and including the latter, in the town of Montville, Com. This tract contained ale ut 1,000 acres, and perhaps more. After the death of John Dolbeare, which occurred in Boston June 17, 1725, all the real estate purchased by him in the North parish of New London, now Montville. appears to have come into the possession of his son. George Dolbeare, who occupied and improved the land during his life. After his death, it was dis- tributed among his children. No records have been discovered, that clearly indicate the miniber of chij- dren that John Dolbeare had, nor have any nanes of his children, except John and George, been re- covered.

( II) George Dolbeare, born about 1;15. young- est son of John Delbeare, the emigrant, married about 1740, Mary Sherwood, who was born about 1710. There were two large portraits of George Dolbeare and his wife Mary, exambited at the late Groton Centennial Sept. 0, 1831. winch belonged to Miss Lockwood, of New London, a descendant. Mr. Dolbeare was a large landhe Hler, and also owned four sawmills. His death occurred March 27. 1772. aged fifty-seven years. His wife del Jan. 1. 1700). aged eighty years.

(V) George Fellows Dolbeare, born Feb. 23, 1802, married (first) March 6, 1825, Abby Church, daughter of Peleg and Mary (Leach) Church, of Montville, a sketch of whom is given elsewhere. On July 26, 1846, he married Hannah A. (Church) Matthews, widow of Alpheus Matthews. George F. Dolbeare was a farmer and located in Mohegan, town of Montville, where he died Oct. 29, 1887, aged eighty-six years. In early life he was an old line Whig, and later became a Republican. He was an industrious, hardworking man, and possessed a genial, kindhearted nature. For several years, he was troubled with rheumatism, and was conse- quently somewhat lame. This disease was the im- mediate cause of his death. By his first marriage, George. F. Dolbeare had children as follows: (I) Mary Abby, born in 1826, married Thomas B. Woodworth, of Norwich, Conn., who was a stone contractor early in life, but later became a farmer ; their children were Chauncy B. Woodworth, who married Sarah Huntington, of Norwich, and is con- nected with the Norwich Savings Society ; and Abby Jane, who is unmarried. (2) John, our subject, was born Jan. 3, 1828. To the second marriage were born the following: Anson G., born in 1847, died in 1871, being lost from the schooner "Era," off Montauk Point; Anna; George; Irene E. ; Charles died aged fifteen years ; Edwin L., born in 1852, was drowned in 1888; Henry H.

John Dolbeare was born Jan. 3, 1828, in Mont- ville, Conn., in the Mohegan district, in which he received his education. Leaving school, when about fifteen years of age, he immediately set sail from New London before the mast on the "Isaac Wal- ton," Capt. Daniel Fitch commanding, and spent his sixteenth birthday near Cape Horn. Thirty months were spent on this whaling voyage. He was then engaged in the coasting trade on different vessels for about three years. He next sailed on the "Julitis Cæsar," Capt. Ebenezer Morgan, known as "Rat- tler" Morgan, commanding, from New London, on a whaling voyage to the Desolation Islands, on which voyage about twenty-one months were spent. During this time, young Dolbeare steered one of the small boats under Capt. Simeon Church, of Montville. He then made a voyage from Fair Haven, Mass., on the "Northern Lights," under Capt. William Stott, to the Ochotsk Sea in search of whales. Thirty months were consumed in this voyage, during which time he was fourth mate, and

again on the same vessel under Capt. Thomas B. Norton, he went to the same sea on a voyage of eighteen months as second mate. A third voyage to the Ochotsk Sea was made from New Bedford, Mass., on a whaling voyage on the "Alice Mandell," Capt. Stephen Dennis commanding, and they re- mained about eighteen months. When he left the vessel at the Sandwich Islands, he bought one-fourth interest in the "United States," and sailed to the Japan Sea as mate. This voyage was a year in length, and from it he returned to the Sandwich Islands, and sold his interest in the vessel to C. A. Williams, of New London. He then left the Sand- wich Islands as a passenger on the barque "Yankee," under Capt. James Smith, of New London.

Mr. Dolbeare returned to New London, but after a few months, he went coasting in the employ of J. W. Huntington & Co., of Norwich, and thus continued for about a year. He then shipped as mate of the barque "Leonidas," from New Bedford, sailing on the Atlantic Ocean, and he was gone on this voyage some twenty months. Next, he became mate of one of the vessels of the "stone fleet," which dumped stone into the Charleston Harbor, S. C., during the war of the Rebellion. At this time he was in the employ of the late Richard Chapel, of New London. He was then engaged with Converse & Whittaker, of Norwich, on transports carrying provisions to the Union soldiers in the South, for about eighteen months. Buying the schooner "Liz- zie M. Stacey," in Boston, he was engaged in trad- ing with the soldiers and sailors of Charleston for about eighteen months, after which time he sold the vessel. 1. Converse & Whittaker, of Norwich, again employed him on the transport "Decatur," and he continued with them until the close of the war. The next engagement of Mr. Dolbeare was with J. B. Huntington & Co., of Norwich, who were the first to engage in running steamboat lines from Philadelphia to Charleston, and Philadelphia to Providence, in the coal trade. Mr. Dolbeare made the first trip on the newly organized "Dominion Line" from New York to Richmond, Va., on the "Whirlwind," as mate of the same. He remained in the employ of this firm for several years, when he retired from a sea-faring life, and on March 4, 1868, he purchased the "Avery Hill" farm, in Led- yard, Conn., near the Preston line, consisting of 100 acres and was there successfully engaged in farming until his death. Mr. Dolbeare was a mem- ber of Somerset Lodge A. F. & A. M., of Norwich. He was a Democrat in political faith, and served his town as a member of the board of selectmen, of the board of assessors, and of the board of relief.

On Nov. 30, 1862, Mr. Dolbeare was married to Ann Elizabeth (Guile) Clark, widow of Jo- seph Sheldon Clark, of Norwich, and daughter of Albert and Melissa (Simms) Guile, of Preston, Conn. The children born to John Dolbeare and wife were: (I) George W., born Nov. 29, 1863, in Norwich, is a pattern maker and carpenter by

(3) Abby Woodworth, born Aug. 18, 1871. in Ledyard, married Walter L. Frazier, of Westerly, R. I., where he is engaged in farming, and they have a son, Earl Dolbeare. Mr. and Mrs. Dolbeare were highly respected eitizens of Ledyard and were charitable and benevolent, earning for themselves the highest esteem of all who had the honor of their aequaintanee. He died Dee. 18, 1903, in Ledyard. and his wife passed away March 18, 1904.

ELIHU H. POTTER, one of the leading citi- zens of Noank, belongs to an old New England fan- ily, which is traeed back to England.

Church, formerly being a member of that body at Noank, but being excluded he is not a member at present of any denomination, but attends meetings at Poquonock Bridge, where he is the teacher of the Bible class, a position for which he is eminently qualified, as few men are better Bible scholars. For a long period Mr. Potter has made the study of Holy Writ a matter of the closest attention, having de- voted three years to the Book of Revelations alone.

Mr. Potter is noted for his public spirit, for which has been shown a marked lack of appreciation. A recent act of his was the placing of thirty vol- umes of the Encyclopedia Britannica and other standard works for the use of the public, gratuit- ously.

While the object of a volume of this character is to preserve the life history of individuals who have been prominent in the general affairs of their re- spective communities, it cannot be denied that it is inadequate in many instances to fully record the distinctive work and value of the various types of mankind to be found herein. Numerous as they may be, we find in each one some particular feature of their life's work that stands out more prominent than any other. This feature in Mr. Potter's long and useful life is certainly that on Christian lines, a work that has been to him most pleasant, and ever marked by zeal and sincerity. Successful much beyond the ordinary in a business sense, his life has not been marked by a seeming desire to enrich him- self with earthly possessions. His success has been brought about in the pursuance of honorable meth- ods and after a long business career. In business life he has long been a prominent figure.

POTTER. This branch of the family has many representatives in Noank and vicinity, and the line of Joseph Potter, son of Thomas and Lurena (Fitch) Potter, is as follows :

Thomas, father of Joseph, was a son of Will- iam Potter, who emigrated to America in 1748.

Joseph Potter, born March 19, 1791, died Aug. 13, 1870. He was a fisherman by occupation and made his home in Noank. On Aug. 29, 1813, he wedded Mercy Barrow. Their children were : Lucy, born May 23, 1814, married, Aug. 9, 1832, Servil- lian Perkins, and died Aug. 31, 1856; Joseph, born May 24, 1816; Prudence, born Sept. 28, 1818, mar- ried, Jan. 5, 1844, Charles Chesebro, and died June 18, 1881 ; Eliza S., born Oct. 3, 1826, married, Dec. 31, 1854, Josephus F. Potter, and died Feb. 12, 1878; Ellen R., born Sept. 5, 1829, died July 23, 1860; Harriet, born Nov. 12, 1833, died in 1834; and Andrew J., born April 30, 1839, married (first) Celestia Searle, and (second) Mary E. Harrigan.

Joseph Potter, son of Joseph, was born May 24, 1816, and his death was caused by accident, being run over by a train near Noank, March 16, 1889. On June 1, 1840, he married Mary Fowler, and the children of this marriage were as follows: Harriet Jane, born May 8, 1841, married, Dec. 3, 1862, Ben-

jamin Franklin Andrews, and they reared these children, Charles B. (born Dec. 17, 1863, died Sept. 8, 1865), George E. (born Aug. 30, 1865), Sadie P. (born Dec. 3, 1867), Carlotta (born June 2, 1874) and Mary Jane (born May 8, 1881) ; Sarah M., born July 13, 1842, married William Wilbur Latham, Dec. 7, 1865 ; Mary E., born Aug. 5, 1845, married Charles H. Smith, Dec. II, 1872; and J. Walton, born Nov. 10, 1854, married Mary A. Rogers, and resides at Noank. Joseph Potter fol- lowed fishing as his main vocation, having large fishing interests in this locality for many years. Fra- ternally he was a Mason. Like other members of the family, his religious connection was with the Baptist Church. His death was the source of great grief to his family and the community.

ALBERT B. MILLER, who died Aug. 7, 1899, in Stonington, Conn., was born in October, 1838, in Providence, R. I., son of Charles D. Miller, who was a foundryman, and prominent in the mechan- ical life of that locality, he having been the sole founder of the New England Butt Company of Providence, Rhode Island.

Albert B. Miller spent his boyhood days in Providence, and then went to California, Oregon and other western states, but was drawn back to the East. For several years he worked at Norwich, Conn., in the Scranton Printing Press Works, and then located in Stonington, in 1868, purchasing of John T. Trumbull the Joslin Arms Company, an iron and brass foundry, and for some years worked there in connection with the Atwood Machine Com- pany. In about 1880, he sold the foundry to the Atwoods, and built the foundry on Miller street, and there continued in active business until the time of his death. In 1891, he was burgess of the borough of Stonington, acting as a strong Dem- ocrat.

In about 1861, Mr. Miller married Margaret Gough, a native of Bath, Maine, who spent her early life at Providence, where she was married. Her death occurred in April, 1896. The children born to them were: Charles William, born at Norwich, Conn .; Susie M., born at Norwich, Conn., who married Dr. C. E. Maine, of Stonington; Hattie, teacher of music in the public schools of Provi- dence ; Albert B., of Stonington.

CHARLES W. MILLER was born in Norwich, Conn., July 13, 1863, and spent his school days in Stonington, where he came when four years of age, and later attending Eastman's Business College at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he graduated in 1883. Returning, he learned the iron and brass foundry business with his father in Stonington, and since the latter's death, has carried it on very successfully. From 1892 to 1898, he was at Chicago, engaged in a foundry business there, which he ran success- fully, and in .October, 1892, while in that city, he was married to Miss Margaret Carter. The fol- lowing children have been born of their marriage:
