" He left this people on a call to the Presidency of Dartmouth College, when thirty-nine years of age. He nominated his succes- sor at their request, who was accepted with unanimity ; and it is safe to say that his successor could not have found a more harmo- nions and vigorous church, or more agrecable parish in the State.
"He was connected with Dartmouth College six years from 1822 ; associated with a faculty of excellent men, whom he greatly respected, and with whom his relations were eminently happy. In addition to the labors belonging to his department in the college, for a large share of the time, (owing to the impaired health of the Professor of Divinity,) he officiated as preacher to the students and the village church. It was during this period that the revi- val of 1826 occurred, which is a memorable event in the history of the college and the village.
" An unanimous invitation of the Second Congregational church and society in Portland, to enter the pastoral office made vacant by the removal of the lamented Payson, revived the memory of his early successful ministry, and confirmed the impression that had been growing upon his mind, that his talents better fitted him for usefulness in the pulpit and pastoral work, than in the Presi- dency of a college.
" He parted painfully with the Trustees and Professors, some of whom were venerable for age while he was but a youth-one of whom yet lives, patiently waiting his turn to be called to the fel- lowship of kindred spirits-and took up his residence in Portland. Here he found a large, intelligent, and harmonions church and people. He had laid upon him heavy demands for study and labor, but he also enjoyed health and vigor, and cheerfully undertook

and performed what he found to do. His ministry in Portland was a success. Scarce a communion season occurred at which some persons were not received into the church, and, as the fruits of one revival, he was permitted to gather into the church more than one hundred souls.
" In the fall of 1833, the Theological Institute of Connecticut was founded, and he was appointed President, and Professor of Christian Theology. It need not be said that now for a season, his mind was deeply moved. He could not dismiss this call with- out deliberation, urged upon him as it was, by men who were his tried friends from his youth, with whom he had been accustomed to take counsel. He was happily laboring in a field where the bles- sing of God had been with him, and the prospect for the future seemed only fair and promising. The institution to which he was invited was new-unprovided with funds-an experiment. He would leave a certainty for an uncertainty as regards support. The result is known. He decided to come to Connecticut ; and in this place it should be recorded that he never saw an hour after this decision was formed, in which he felt any distressing doubts as to its correctness. So he has recently written. On the ques- tion touching the wisdom of the course pursued by him in taking the stand he did, and connecting himself with the Theological In- stitute, men will form a different judgment, according to their po- sitions and sympathies in the theological world. It is just that the writer (who knows) should say in his behalf, that it was not only his conviction that the seminary was needed at the time he assumed the duties of a professor, but that he believed to the last that it had been instrumental of great good to the church, by the cheek it had given to the progress of dangerous errors.
" Of his merits as a preacher, of his theological opinions, of his writings in the form of books, sermons, tracts, &c., the writer will not speak, His relatives and friends cheerfully trust his memory to posterity. They respected him for his talents and wisdom, his zeal and ardent, though safe, enthusiasm in every work in which he engaged ; but for large and generous charity, for his paternal interest in their welfare, they loved him with a love that can never die. He was the Christian grandfather to the children of his own sons and daughters; and not only so, but grand- father to all children that knew him. Though his final sickness was brief and distressing, yet his mind was clear to the last ino-

ment, and he died with words of kindness on his lips to all that came near his bedside, and with peace in his own soul.
" Who shall live his life again."
"In some accounts which have been printed, errors appear in relation to his family. He was the father of twelve children, six of whom, with a widow of 72 years, survive. Rev. J. E. Tyler, now resident at East Windsor Hill, with whom he has lived sinee he resigned his place in the Seminary; Mrs. Greely, widow of the late Hon. Philip Greely, Jr., Boston ; Mrs. Goddard, widow of Rev. John Goddard; Edward Tyler, Esq., Cashier of the Suffolk Bank, Boston ; Mrs. Prof. Gale, and Rev. Josiah Tyler, Mission- ary in South Africa."
HON. ISAAC TOUCEY.
Isaac Toucey was the son of Thomas Toucey, one of the foun- ders of the ecclesiastical society of South Britain, in Southbury. He lived in a house a little easterly from the present residence of Bethuel Russell. Thomas Toncey afterwards removed to New- town, Conn., where the subject of this sketch was born, Nov. 3, 1795 ; so that he was a grandson of Ancient Woodbury. He studied law with Hon. Asa Chapman, of Newtown, afterwards a Judge of the Supreme Court of Errors of this State. Mr. Toucey commenced the practice of his profession in Hartford, in 1818, and soon obtained a high rank at the bar. He held the office of State Attorney for Hartford County from 1822 to 1836. In the latter year he was elected a representative to Congress, and continued to represent his distriet in that capacity for four years. In 1846, he was elected Governor of the State. During the latter part of President Polk's administration, Mr. Toncey filled the office of Attorney General of the United States. In 1850, he was a mem- ber of the Senate of his native State. In 1851, he was elected to the Senate of the United States, and held that office through his term of six years. When Mr. Buchanan became President of the United States, Mr. Toncey went into his cabinet, and held the office of Secretary of the Navy during that administration, at the close of which he went back to private life. In addition to the publie stations which he filled during his long life, there were others which he was offered and declined. Among these was a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States.
1465
HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
From his admission to the bar till his election to U. S. Senate, in 1851, Mr. Toucey was constantly devoted to the duties of his pro- fession, with the exception of the four years during which he rep- resented his distret in the lower house of Congress.1
ARTHUR B. WARNER,
Son of Sherman B. Warner, Esq., of Southbury, where he was born. He was educated in Woodbury ; studied law with Hon. James Huntington, and was admitted to the bar of Litchfield County, in the spring of 1872. He continues in the office of Judge Huntington, as his assistant, and is also Clerk of Probate for the District of Woodbury. He thus casts in his lot with us, "for better or for worse."
COL. SETH WARNER.
On page 411 of the last edition, the author criticised the inhab- itants of Roxbury, for the shameful neglect in which they had allowed the remains of Col. Warner to lie. It is not to be sup- posed that that criticism had any effect. But the fact is so, that a movement was soon after set on foot, which resulted in an appro- priation by the State of $1,000, on certain conditions to be per- formed by the inhabitants of Roxbury, which were fulfilled, and a beautiful monument of Quincy granite was erected on the Centre Green, in Roxbury, April 30, 1859, to the memory of the brave deceased. To this place the remains had been removed, from their ancient resting place in the "Old Burying Ground," about a mile from the center, on the 20th of the preceding October. There are historical inscriptions on each of the four raised panels of the die. Some of the dates differ from those given in the for- mer edition of this work, which were those given by Mr. Chip- man, of Vermont, in his work. But the matter of dates was care- fully investigated by Ex-Gov. Hiland Hall, of Vermont, George W. Warner, Esq., of Bridgeport, Conn., a descendent of Col. Seth Warner, and the writer, and the dates put upon the monument are believed to be correct.
On the east (front) side is inscribed :- " Col. Seth Warner, of the Army of the Revolution, born in Roxbury, Ct., May 17, 1743;
1 Hon. Wm. D. Shipman, U. S. District Judge.

a resident of Bennington, Vt., from 1765 to 1784; died in his native parish, Dec. 26, 1784." On the north side appears :- " Cap- tor of Crown Point, Commander of the Green Mountain Boys in the repulse of Carleton at Longneil, and at the battle of Hub- bardton, and the associate of Stark in the victory at Bennington." On the south side is inscribed :- " Distinguished as a successful defender of the New Hampshire Grants, and for bravery, saga- city, energy and humanity, as a partisan officer in the War of the Revolution." On the west side appears :- " His remains are de- posited under this monument, erected by order of the General Assembly of Connecticut, A. D., 1859."
HON. WARREN W. GUTHRIE.
Mr. Guthrie was born in South Britaia, Southbury. He is a great-grandson of Judge William Edmond, late of Newtown. After receiving an Academic education, he entered the law office of William Cothren, where he pursued his studies with diligence and fidelity for three years, when he was admitted to the Litch- field County bar, in 1855, and immediately opened a law office at Seymour, Conn. He remained there a year, and had more than the ordinary success of a young lawyer. Desiring a wider field, he removed to Kansas, where he has since remained, and is now in a large and lucrative practice, at Atchison, Kansas. Soon after his settlement in Kansas, he was elected to the office of Attorney General, and held it for four years.
Thus the just criticism of the former volume is removed. And here we close our list of the worthy ones whom Woodbury de- lights to honor.

HE.CURTIS
HE recording of the history of the generations of men is always an interesting, though most laborious work. It recalls us to all that is tender and affecting in the several relations in life. The man who does not " care who his father was," and has no curiosity to know from what branch or stock he has derived his existence, in the line back towards Adam, is a confessed boor, who should be closely watched in all the transactions with which he is connected. The views of the writer on this interesting branch of human inquiry, were fully given in the first volume of this work.
.
Doubtless many, in looking through this part of the work, will wonder why their family histories have not been recorded. The answer is brief. Though the author has importuned them for
40

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
eighteen years, they have not furnished the material. Everything has been introduced that could be obtained. But now the " sum- mer is past and the harvest ended." Nobody will ever have the courage to write the history of our town the next two hundred years.
In writing such extended genealogies as were introduced in the first volume, with its myriad of facts and dates, it was to be ex- pected that errors would occur. Where such have been brought to the writer's attention, they are here corrected. But instead of writing the genealogies over again, which would require much space, the writer has simply re-written certain portions of the genealogies in which the corrections occur. So that in giving the account of any particular family, in this volume, it will be under- stood that where it differs from the former account, the present account is the correct one. Any one interested in a particular family, can, by an examination, make the necessary corrections.
In this part of the author's work, he has been most kindly and effectively aided by Rev. Benjamin L. Swan, of Oyster Bay, N. Y., one of the most careful and laborious historical and genealogical investigators in this country. If anywhere the writer has differed with him, it has been after the most careful investigation of the facts. At the time the former edition was written, little attention had been given this branch of inquiry. But since then, it has en- gaged the time and attention of multitudes, and a much more just appreciation of the matter has become prevalent. Works of this kind have become numerous, and, it is believed, the new in- quiries have been vastly beneficial.
In recording the following families, the author has followed the plan adopted by the several persons who have furnished him the family records, and not that plan which he deems best for all fam- ily records, explained on page 484.
1469
HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
ALLEN FAMILY.1
SAMUEL ALLEN was a petit juror at Windsor, Conn., March 5th, 1644. The inventory of his estate was £76 18s. 8p., as presented in the settlement of it, Sept. 8th, 1668. He died at Windsor, Conn., April 28th, 1668. It does not appear whether he was of the same family as Hon. Matthew Allyn, of Hartford and Windsor, which family had a leading influence in the latter place, and a high standing in the Colony. The orthography of the name is not conclusive upon this point. Deacon Thomas Allen, of Middletown, being regarded as a brother of Hon Matthew Allyn, and the common form of spelling used by him, and more usual in English, and equally nearer to the foreign form, Allyn, which may have been the original name. Nor would the personal circumstances of the parties be conclusive on the same point.
Stiles, in his History of Ancient Windsor, states from private authority, that Ann, the widow of Samuel Allen, removed from Windsor to Northampton, Mass., having three sons, Samuel, Nehemiah and John, and then married William Hurlburt.
Nehemiah Allyn and Sarah Woodford, are recorded as having been mar- ried at Northampton, Sept. 21st, 1664. Their son Samuel, was b. Jan. 3d, 1665
The record of marriages at Northampton, between 1685 and 1695, is miss. ing, but the births of children of Samuel and Mercy Allca, appear in order : Nehemiah, b. Sept. 21st, 1693 ; Mercy, b. June 29th, 1695 ; Nehemiah, b. Sept. 19th, 1697; Mary, b. Oct. 22d, 1699 ; Hester, b. Feb. 26th, 1704.
At Deerfield, Mass., first appears the death of IIester, dau. of Samuel and Mercy. Allen, Dec., 18th, 1707. Then follow births of Joseph, their son, b. Oct. 14th, 1708 ; and Ebenezer, b. April 26th, 1711. One or two intervals in the family record may have to be supplied from some other town. A name or two in the examination of records may have been overlooked. An inter- val of time occurred after the latest date found at Deerfield, during which the movements of the family are lost sight of. The birth of the youngest child, and the death of Samuel Allen, the father, are not found.
The lineage of Mercy Allen is given in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for 1850, (Vol. IV, p. 355), in a notice of the descend- ants of Dea. Samuel Wright, of Springfield, Mass. Ilis name is first men- tioned there in 1639, three years after the settlement was commenced. He re- moved to Northampton in 1655, and died there Oct. 17th, 1665. Of the eight children of Samuel and Margaret Wright, Judah, the seventh in order, was b. in Springfield, May 10th, 1662. Judah Wright m. Mercy Burt, Jan. 17th, 1667. They had eight children, the second of whom was Mercy, b. 1669. The father of the distinguished Senator, Silas Wright, who removed from Am- herst, Mass., to Weybridge, Vt., when his son was an infant, through an older line of descent, was in the sixth generation of the same family.

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WOODBURY.
By the records of Litchfield, Conn., it is found that widow Mercy Allen removed to that place from Coventry, Conn., about 1720. She had with her, Nehemiah, an adult son, and Daniel, Joseph, Ebenezer, Lydia and Lucy, minor children. She d. Feb. 25th, 1728. The family had land at Litchfield, a third part of which was conveyed by Daniel Allen, as executor upon his mother's death, to Joseph, his brother, March 1st, 1729; one hundred acres was conveyed by the latter to his sister Lydia, in 1732, and the same quan- tity to Paul Peck, Jr., the following year.
Joseph Allen, b. as above, at Deerfield, Mass., in 1708; m. Mary Baker,t dau. of John Baker, of Woodbury, Conn., March, 1737. Their chli. were Gen. Ethan, b. Jan. 10th, 1738 ; Heman, b. Oct. 15th, 1740; Lydia, b. April 6th, 1742 ; Heber, b. Oct. 4th, 1743; Levi, b. Jan. 16th, 1745; Lucy, b. April 2d, 1747 ; Zimzi, b. Dec. 10th, 1748; Ira, b. 1751.
Of this family, most of whom were born in Cornwall, Conn., Lydia, Mrs. Finch, lived and died in Easton; Lucy, Mrs. Beebe, in Sheffield, Mass. Heman was in business in Salisbury, Conn., a man of vigorous mind and solid judgment, only temporarily engaged in the local affairs of Vermont, Zimzi and Heber were not concerned in public affairs ; the former d. in Shef- field, Mass., the latter in Pultney, Vt. Levi Allen was pervere and eccentric ; took the wrong side in the War of the Revolution, and d. at Benington, Vt., in 1801. The oldest and youngest of the family exemplified its peculiar qualities of energy and intellect ; the latter more particularly in private en- terprise ; but both in the public affairs, momentous and critical of the new State, alike in personal vengeance, perhaps, in patriotic ardor; the elder, a leader of the masses, both in counsel and in action.
Gen. Ethan Allen in. first, Mary Brownson, of Roxbury Parish, in Wood- bury, June 23d, 1762. The chh. of this marriage were Lorane, Joseph, Lucy, Mary Ann and Pamelia, born, it is said, before the family removed to Ver- mont. His second wife was Mrs. Fanny Buchanan, whom he married at Westminster, Vt., Feb. 9th, 1786. The chh. by this marriage were Ethan Voltaire, Hunnibal and Fanny. The first wife died in Sunderland, Vt. The second m. Hon. Jabez Penniman, of Colchester, Vt., and died there about 1832. The dau. Lucy, m. Hon. Samuel Hitchcock, a distinguished man in Vermont ; Pamelia m. Eleazur W. Hayes, Esq. Both resided and died in Burlington, Vt. Ethan V. and Hannibal Allen became officers of the United States army. The latter died at Norfolk, Va .; the former at the same place, Jan. 6th, 1845, leaving a son of his own name, who has resided in New York. Fanny became a nun of the Hotel Dieu, at Montreal, Canada, where she was distinguished sometimes by visitors from curiosity, for a peculiar dignity of person, as well as by the prestige of her family. Gen. Ethan Allen d. at Burlington, Vt., Feb. 12th, 1789.2

BUCKINGHAM GENEALOGY.
I. THOMAS, the first of the name in this country, belonged to the company that first settled New Haven. They arrived at Boston, June 26th, 1637, and the next Spring came to Quinnipiack.
His house-lot was in "Mr. Gregson's Quarter," and about where Mr. Mur- dock lived. He had a family of four persons, and an estate of £60.
He removed to Milford in the Autumn of 1639, with Rev. Mr. Prudden and his company, who settled that town. His house-lot there was a little above the 2d Congregational Church, on the corner where the old Bergen House stood a few days ago. On the old church records at Milford, his name stands among the seven who first consented to walk together as a church (the " Seven Pillars " as they were called) and to these the others were added among them, Hannah, his wife.
Upon the death of Minister Prudden, he was sent to Boston to procure another Minister, and d. there 1657.
He left five children : (1). Hannah, b. 1632, mn. Welsh ; (2). Daniel, called
