The New London Aqueduct Company obtained a charter in May, 1800. Capital, $4,000 ; increased in 1802 to $20,000. The earliest proprietors were George Hallam, Benjamin Butler, Robert Allyn, David Frink and Isaac Treby. This company entered with zeal into the project of supplying the whole city with water, and threaded all the principal streets with subterranean logs and pipes. The spring which afforded the supply of water is situated a little north of the town limits, on the west side of the road to Norwich. The un- dertaking was not sufficiently patronized to render it remunerative and after the trial of about a quarter of a century, it was abandoned.
The Lewis Female Cent Society was incorporated in May, 1819, upon the petition of Mary Perkins, Sarah Brainard, Elizabeth Den- ison and their associates, for the purpose of affording relief to indi- gent persons in New London and its vininity. This society had al- ready been a number of years in operation, having been formed in 1810, but at the period of organization, had received a bequest of $500, made by Mrs. Harriet Lewis. The same amount has since been bequeathed to the society by Miss Matilda Wright. It is still in operation, a judicious and efficient society.
The Young Men's Library Association was organized in Decem- ber, 1840. Dr. Isaac G. Porter was the first president. This asso- ciation was presented with a complete Encyclopedia, and an entire set of Niles' Register. The library soon amounted to several thou- sand volumes, and was lodged in a new brick building on Bank Street, owned by Joseph Lawrence. This building, in January, 1848, was entirely consumed by fire, and the library of the young men was in- volved in its destruction. The books were all burnt, but the society had an insurance upon them of $1,000, and having since resumed its operations, is gradually collecting a new library.

HISTORY OF NEW LONDON.
The old jail and the land belonging to it, which stood by the water- side on the Parade, were sold May 1st, 1845, for $4,900. The same year, a city and county prison was built, of stone, between Hemp- stead and Franklin Streets, with a keeper's house attached, at a cost of $7,500.
Railroads.
In May, 1847, the legislature incorporated the New London, Willimantic and Springfield Railroad Company. The charter was subsequently altered, to enable the company to construct the road from Willimantic to Palmer, instead of Springfield. Thomas W. Williams was chosen president of this corporation, and continued in office till the completion of the road. The first ground was broken in July, 1848, a little north of Norwich : the first trip to Williman- tic in the cars, was made Nov. 15th, 1849. The road was opened to Stafford Springs in March, 1850, and to Palmer in September of that year.
The New Haven and New London Railroad Company was incor- porated in 1849. Frederick R. Griffin, of Guilford, president. The work on the road commenced in March, 1851, and the route was opened through the whole distance, July 22d, 1852. This road passes through a number of fine country towns, and pleasant villages, and has Long Island Sound in sight during a great part of the route. A connection has been formed through the city with the railroad running north to Palmer, which completes the line from New York to Boston.
A telegraphic company was formed in November, 1847, by an association of citizens in New London and Norwich. It went imme- diately into operation.
A Cemetery Association was formed by a number of the citizens in 1850, Francis Allyn, president ; having for its object the purchase of a rural cemetery, at such convenient distance from the prospective growth of the city, as might furnish security that the remains of the dead would never be disturbed. This association purchased a tract of forty-five acres of land, about a mile west of the city, mostly cov- ered with cedars, but with considerable variety of surface, and capa- ble of being improved into ornamental grounds. It was laid out with

artistic skill and taste by Dr. Horatio Stone; appropriately named the Cedar Grove Cemetery, and consecrated to its sacred use, Oct. 8th, 1851. Some removals from other places of sepulture were made immediately afterward; but the first remains not previously interred, which were deposited in this ground, were those of an esteemed citi- zen, Joseph C. Sistare, who was here laid to rest, Nov. 23d, 1851.
This beautiful resting-place for the dead has already become a hallowed retreat. The high ground, affording a noble prospect of the harbor and surrounding country, the gradual slope of the surface toward the east, the lakelet and the solemn grove beneath, are fea- tures of great natural beauty. It is easy of access, yet seated in deep seclusion, and the ideas of security and permanence attached to it-that here while time endures, the graves and monuments of the dead will be secured from removal-are pledges that this cemetery will take a strong hold upon the affections of the inhabitants, and henceforth become their chosen place of sepulture.
" I would not bury the good, the beloved, upon the bleak and desolate sand- plain, where no tree can cast its shade, and no flower blossom : 1 would rather lay them beneath the boughs of the goodly cedar-trees, which of old were dedi- cated to a sacred use in building a temple to the Lord, and which speak a prayer for perpetual remembrance in their foliage of unfading green. I would rather lay them here, where the winged songsters make their nests in these over- hanging boughs, and chant a requiem to the dead buried beneath."I
The whole number of freemen qualified to vote at the election in April, 1848, was 1,527; the number of votes given, 957.
In 1852, the whole number on the list was about 2,000, and the number of votes deposited, 1,050. The list includes all absent free- men, whether on the ocean, in California, or elsewhere, and about 240 new voters, who were qualified previous to the election.
The present number of inhabitants is estimated at 10,000.
Population at different periods.
In 1756, 3,171. Montville and Waterford then included. In 1774, 5,366 whites, 316 negroes, 206 Indians.
In 1800, 4,955 whites, 195 colored. Males, 2,378; females, 2,577. Waterford was not then separated.

HISTORY OF NEW LONDON.
In 1810, 3,022 whites ; free colored, 147 ; slaves, 13 ; total, 3,182. Another enumeration of the same year, made the total number 3,238, probably including the garrison of Fort Trumbull.
In Waterford, the same year, 2,191. 1n Montville, 2,187.
In 1820, 3,330. Males, 1,419 ; females, 1,652 ; free colored, 168 ; slaves, 6; garrison of Fort Trumbull, 82.
In Waterford, 2,236. In Montville, 1,952.
The increase from 1810 to 1820, was very small; it may be ac- counted for from the depression of business caused by war, the loss of many persons at sea, and in the West Indies, and emigration to other states.
In 1830, 4,356.
In 1840. The census returns made June 1st, furnished the fol- lowing statistics in regard to New London :
Population, 5,519.

Engaged in commerce, 44.
Engaged in manufactures and trade, 784.
Engaged in navigation of ocean, 848.
Learned professions and engineers, 48.

Deaf and dumb, 1. Blind, 2. Insane and idiots, 3.
Scholars in academies and grammar-schools, 131.

A city census was taken in November, 1845, which showed a popu- lation of 8,850.
In 1850, 1,000 houses, 1,525 families, 9,006 inhabitants.
The average annual proportion of deaths since 1800, has been about one in fifty.

It would be scarcely possible at the present day, to prepare a cata- logue that would be complete and accurate, of the members of vari- ous collegiate institutions, that have made New London their home, but were not natives of the town. The following list comprises all that have come to the knowledge of the author, who became inhabit- ants and died in the place.
Simon Bradstreet ; Harvard, 1660; ordained at New London, 1670 ; died, 1683 ; family removed.
Gurdon Saltonstall ; Harvard, 1684; ordained at New London, 1691 ; chosen governor of Connecticut in 1708; died, 1724.
Eliphalet Adams ; Harvard, 1694; ordained, 1709; married Lydia, daughter of Alexander Pygan, of New London.
Jeremiah Miller ; Yale, 1709; settled in New London, 1711;
Joseph Hurlbut, (Tutor,) 1849.
Robert Coit, 1850.
670
HISTORY OF NEW LONDON.
married Mary Saltonstall, second daughter of the governor ; died, 1761.
Daniel Hubbard ; Yale, 1727 ; tutor in college two years ; settled as an attorney in New London, 1731 ; married Martha, daughter of John Coit; died in 1741, aged thirty-five.
David Gardiner ; Yale, 1736 ; native of Gardiner's Island, in the Sound ; merchant in New London for many years ; died, 1776.
The above were probably all interred in the old burial-ground. This is known to be the case in all the instances except the first ; and there can be no reasonable doubt but that Mr. Bradstreet's re- mains were also deposited in that inclosure, but there is no record that speaks of it, and no inscribed stone to mark the spot.1
Samuel Seabury ; Yale, 1748 ; D. D. at Oxford; Bishop of Con- necticut and Rhode Island ; died, 1796.
Richard Law ; Yale, 1751. M. C. and Judge of Connecticut District. Born in Milford, and youngest son of Jonathan Law, gov- ernor of Connecticut. He married Ann Prentis, of New London ; died January 26th, 1806.
Stephen Babcock ; Yale, 1761 ; attorney in New London ; died, 1787.
Ephraim Woodbridge ; Yale, 1765; ordained over the Congrega- tional church in New London, 1769; died, 1776.
Jedidiah Huntington ; Harvard, 1763; et Yale, 1770. Born in Norwich, Aug. 15th, 1743; died in New London, Sept. 25th, 1818.
Amasa Learned; Yale, 1772. Born in Killingly, Conn., Nov. 15th, 1750. He came to New London soon after leaving college, and was one of the earliest preceptors of the Union School. In 1773, he married Grace Hallam, and in 1780, fixed his permanent residence in New London, where he died May 4th, 1825. His re- mains were deposited in the Hallam tomb, in the old burial-ground.
1 There are two large, flat granite stones, partly imbedded in the earth, near the center of the ground, which are supposed to have been laid as temporary memorials over the remains of some distinguished persons. The author is of opinion that one of these indicates the grave of Mr. Bradstreet, and the other of John Still Winthrop. The former died in 1683, at a time when engraved stones were procured with difficulty; and the latter in 1776, just at the opening of the war, which made New London the seat of desolation. In both cases, it was undoubtedly the intention of surviving friends, to replace the rough granite, with more fitting monuments, as soon as it should be- come practicable. But years elapsed, and it was not done : until it has become a sub- ject of question, where these persons were buried. It is, however, rendered tolerably certain, from the traces of letters yet remaining, that had been picked in the granite, that one of the stones covers the grave of a Winthrop.
671
HISTORY OF NEW LONDON.
David Wright ; Yale, 1777 ; a native of Saybrook, Conn .; attor- ney of New London; died in 1798, of the malignant fever, which then prevailed. His wife was Martha, daughter of Russell Hub- bard, of New London.
Jeremiah Gates Brainard; Yale, 1779; a native of East Had- dam, Conn .; came to New London soon after leaving college, and engaged in the practice of the law. He had an office in the old court-house, on the Parade, at the time it was burnt by the British in 1781. He was for many years judge of the superior court ; died Jan. 7th, 1830, in the seventieth year of his age. His wife was Sa- rah Gardiner, of New London.
Elias Perkins ; Yale, 1786; married, in 1790, Lucretia Shaw, only daughter of Rev. Ephraim Woodbridge, deceased. His twin- brother, Elijah, (Yale, 1787,) died at Philadelphia in 1806.
William Pitt Cleveland ; Yale, 1793 ; a native of Canterbury, Conn .; settled in New London as an attorney, before 1800; died, Jan. 3d, 1844, aged seventy-four. Hon. Roger M. Sherman, his fel- low-student at the law-school of Judge Reeve, in Litchfield, and through life his intimate friend, died four days before him at Fair- field.
Jirah Isham ; Yale, 1797 ; a native of Colchester, Conn., but long in the practice of the law at New London; he died Oct. 6th, 1842, aged sixty-four.
Elisha North, M. D., a native of Goshen, Litchfield Co., Conn. He studied with Dr. Lemuel Hopkins, of Hartford, and afterward, under Dr. Rush, at the medical college in Philadelphia. Settled in New London in 1812 ; died, Dec. 29th, 1843.
Archibald Mercer ; born in Newark, N. J., Dec. 1st, 1788 ; grad- uated at Princeton, about 1807 ; M. D. at Philadelphia, and at New Haven, 1827 ; died, Oct. 3d, 1850.
These all died in New London, and most of them left their fami- lies here. We may add to the list a few living residents, who, though not natives of the town, belong to it in all but birth. Thirty years are reckoned a generation, and wherever thirty years of active life have been spent, there we may confidently say, the person belongs.
Jacob B. Gurley ; graduated at Dartmouth, in 1793, and was in- troduced at New London the next year, as preceptor of the Union School; was admitted to the bar in 1797, and is now one of the old- est attorneys in the county.
Ebenezer Learned ; Yale, 1798. Born in Killingly, Conn., March 27th, 1780, but from early infancy a resident in New London.
672
HISTORY OF NEW LONDON.
Abel Mc Ewen ; Yale, 1804; a native of Winchester, Conn .; or- dained over the Congregational church in this place, Oct. 21st, 1806, and now in the forty-sixth year of his ministry.
This list might be considerably enlarged, by introducing other and younger names from the professional ranks. It would be a pleasure to the writer to gather up many honored names from all the depart- ments of active life ; but the pen of history has extended its details far enough into the bosom of the present. Let the names of the gifted and the mature, as well as of the young and the ardent of the present generation, be left for the future to record. They are stamp- ing the impress of their genius and measures on the character of the town ; they have it in their power to mold its future history, and to win for themselves an honorable distinction among its sons and citi- . zens. May their deeds be such, that later generations shall enroll their names in grateful remembrance, and some future historian find as much pleasure in recording them, as the writer of the present vol- ume has experienced in reviewing the fortunes of their ancestors.
