For reasons not now fully understood the Legisla- ture did not charter the bank provided for in the foregoing articles of association, nor was there any bank chartered and established in this town until 1822, when the Stonington Bank was chartered and located at Stonington Borough. Col. William Ran- dall was in the Senate that year, and it was mainly through his influence that the charter for the bank was obtained. He was elected its first president, and held the office until his health compelled him to re- sign. He was succeeded in the presidency by Gen. William Williams, who in turn was succeeded by the Hon. Ephraim Williams, followed by Francis Amy, Esq., and James J. Day, Esq. The bank com- menced and carried on business successfully until after the close of the Rebellion, when heavy losses compelled it to suspend, and its affairs soon wound up by receivers, paying forty per cent. on the dollar of the original stock.
Mystic National Bank .- This bank was chartered by the General Assembly in June, 1833, with a capi- tal of fifty thousand dollars. The stock was assigned, and the officers elected were as follows, viz .: Elias Brown, Elisha Faxon, Elisha Haley, John Hyde, Asa Fish, Latham Hull, Nathan Daball, Stephen Haley, Silas Beebe, George W. Noyes (2), Elias Hewitt, and William H. Woodbridge, directors, who elected Elias Brown, president, and George W. Noyes (2), cashier.
In 1865 this bank was changed into a national in- stitution, under the laws of Congress. The officers at present are John S. Schoonover, Mason Manning, Stephen H. Wheeler, Erastus J. Williams, Nehemiah M. Gallup, and Allen P. Williams, directors ; John S. Schoonover, president; Jabez Watrous, Jr., cashier.

The first board of directors were Charles Mallory, Charles H. Mallory, David D. Mallory, George W. Mallory, and Benjamin E. Mal- lory ; Charles Mallory, president; Elias P. Randall, cashier. The present board of directors are Charles Maliory, Thomas S. Greenman, John E. Williams, Gurdon Gates, and George W. Mallory ; Charles Mallory, president ; Elias P. Randall, cashier.
Stonington Savings-Bank .- This bank was char- tered in 1850, incorporating Charles P. Williams, Gurdon Trumbull, William Hyde, Jr., Ephraim Wil- liams, John F. Trumbull, Stiles Stanton, Hiram Shaw, Oliver B. Grant, Jesse N. Brown, Benjamin Pomeroy, Francis Pendleton, Joseph E. Smith, and Horace L.

Grant, president ; D. B. Spalding, secretary and treasurer.
Railroads .- The first railroad in Stonington was incorporated in May, 1832, under the name of the
"New York and Stonington Railroad Company," with the following-named persons as corporators, viz. : Charles H. Phelps, Gurdon Trumbull, Peter Crary, William H. Woodbridge, William W. Rodman, Geo. E. Palmer, Charles H. Smith, William C. Denison, Courtlandt Palmer, N. A. Norton, Joseph Goddard, and their associates, successors, and assigns. The first board of directors were John S. Crary; S. F. Denison, Charles H. Phelps, Gurdon Trumbull, Court- landt Palmer, F. A. Norton, and Joseph Goddard.
The May session of the General Assembly of this State, in 1833, passed a resolution merging the New York and Stonington Railroad Company in the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company, a corporation previously chartered by the State of Rhode Island, to take effect on the 1st day of July, 1833, on condition that the Legislature of that State would before that time pass a similar act of merger of their company with ours; which, when accepted and adopted by such aforesaid corporations, the railroad from Stonington to Providence should be known and oper- ated under the name and title of the "New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company." The State of Rhode Island passed such an act, and both corporations accepted and adopted the merging acts of both States, and the railroad has been so known and operated ever since.
The next and only other railroad company in Ston- ington was chartered in 1852, under the name of the " New London and Stonington Railroad Company," embodying as corporators Charles P. Williams, Thomas Fitch (2), Charles Mallory, Asa Fish, Frederick R. Griffin, Henry L. Champlain, Nathan G. Fish, Charles C. Griswold, Belton A. Copp, E. E. Morgan, B. C. Bax- ter, Henry Hotelikiss, William P. Burrall, N. S. Per- kins, Jr., F. W. Lawrence, J. Hammond Trumbull, Benjamin F. Palmer, Isaac Randall, Louis Bristol, Matthew Morgan, John W. Hull, John P. C. Mather, and Ralph D. Smith, et al. This road was to ex- tend from the river Thames easterly. to a junction with the track of the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad in Stonington. It was not built for several years, nor was it finished until it was con- solidated and merged with the New Haven and New London Railroad Company in 1856, under the name of the New Haven, New London and Ston- ington Railroad Company, with authority as such to establish a ferry across the river Thames. This consolidation resulted in the completion of the road from Stonington to New London. This exten- sion road, as it was sometimes called, though furnish- ing the last link of railway communication between Boston and New York, did not prove successful. It became embarrassed, and in the year 1858 the Legis- lature authorized the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company to lease this road from New London to Stonington for a term of two years, provided such a lease would be acceptable to such corporation.

STONINGTON.
The next year the General Assembly authorized and empowered these railroads to extend their lease or contract for twenty years, provided it was accept- able to both corporations. The leasing operations did not result in a financial success to the new road, nor were they able to pay the interest on their bonded indebtedness. So the bondholders petitioned for a foreclosure of their mortgages, and while they were pending the aid of the Legislature was invoked to enable the trustees of the bondholders to run, lease, or sell the road for their benefit.
The Legislature finally, in 1864, reorganized the New Haven, New London and Stonington Railroad Company, giving a new charter to the holders of the first mortgage seven per cent. bonds of the old New Haven and New London Railroad Company, under the name of the Shore Line Railway, extending from New Haven to New London. The Legislature the same year also reorganized the old New London and Stonington Railroad Company, embracing the railroad between New London and Stonington, by associating seven corporators to form a new company and buy out the bondholders, and authorizing the trustees to sell or lease their interest in the road ; dissolving the connection between the old New Haven and New London and the old New London and Stonington Railroad Companies, formed by the merging act of 1856.
The New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Company purchased this railroad, ferry property, and franchises on the 1st day of December, 1864, and has operated it ever since.
In 1875 the Legislature amended the charter of the New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Com- pany, so as to enable them to form a connection be- tween their tracts west of the borough of Stonington, and as so arranged it is now in successful operation, being one of the best ballasted, best equipped, and best managed railroads in the United States.
