BIOGRAPHIES.


GEN. RUSSELL CATLIN ABERNETHY,


Son of Doctor William Abernethy of Harwinton, was born Feb. 9, 1780. In the record which he made of his own family on the town records, he says he was from Washington, Ct., when he came to Torrington. He had been clerk in a store in New Preston village where he learned his trade as a merchant. He married Orrel, daughter of Elisha Smith, Esq., Sept. 17, 1803, and about the same time started a store near the Meeting house, at Torrington green ; Mr. Hodges's store being at that time on the hill north of the green. He continued this store until about 1830, when he gave up the mer- cantile business, removed to Wolcottville and engaged in manufac- turing enterprises, and interested himself more than previously in the general interests of the town. In removing from Torrington, he took down his dwelling house which stood a little north of the green, and transported it to the village, locating it where it still remains, across the street from the Congregational church, north, and which is now owned and occupied by Mr. J. F. Calhoun. As near as can be ascertained he was justice of the peace about thirty-five years, continuing in the office until 1850, when having arrived at the age of seventy years he was thereby disqualified for holding the office longer, and in that office maintained the honor of a faithful admin- istrator of law, and an honorable, upright citizen. He was town clerk a number of years, the competition for that office seeming to be between him and John Gillett about twenty years, each being elected several years, and then the other, the change being made a number of times, but finally Mr. Gillett won the race by several years. General Abernethy was quite a military man, being well qualified for such position by his personal appearance and character, and the town had more pride in him in this character than any other, though he was highly respected in all others. His personal appear- ance was very symmetrical ; being of good height, full form and erect, His manners were always those of a gentleman, inherited by
