1Rev. William Belden, eldest son of Capt. Azor and Hannah C. (Smith) Belden, was graduated at Yale College in 1803 and, after being ordained to the ministry, settled in Greenfield, Conn., where he filled the pulpit of the village church and also established a boarding school. In this school many eminent men were fitted for college, among them President Wool- sey and John C. Calhoun being probably the most distinguished. He removed to New York and was the originator of the "Public School Society," which afterwards became the "Board of Education." He was the Principal of one of the Public Schools for

nearly forty years, and during that period examined most of the applicants for the position of teacher. The Normal School, which has since become the Nor- mal College, was also a product of his creation. His interest in the development of the school system which New York now enjoys was absorbing, and in order to devote himself to it he declined the Presi- dency of two Colleges. He was a man of great in- tellectual power and most extensive learning. He married Miss Abigail Frances Hatch of Kent, Conn., who bore him three sons and three daughters. His line is an extended one.

1NATHAN MARVIN BELDEN.

Nathan Marvin Belden, son of John A. and Bet- sey C. Belden, was born in Wilton, Conn., August 17, 1826. He was the grandson paternally of the Rev. David Belden, and maternally of Nathan Marvin, of Wilton. He passed his boyhood in Wilton, and was noted among his companions for his physical activity as well as for his quick wit. After preparing in his native town he entered Trinity College at Hartford in 1844 and graduated in 1848 with high honors, being the Latin Salutatorian and second in his class, the late Bishop Paddock, of Massachusetts, being first. In 1850 he was called to the position of Greek tutor in Trinity College, which position he held for two years, and afterward engaged in teaching in South- port, Conn., and Orange, N. J. In July, 1856, he married Sarah Jane, daughter of Serenius S. Stock- ing, then residing in Orange with her uncle, the Rev. Sabura S. Stocking, with whom he was associated in St. Mark's Hall. In the fall of that year he became the first principal of the Free Academy at Andover, Mass., and in 1857 removed to White Plains, N. Y., where in company with his brother, Samuel B., he opened a select boarding school for boys, which was maintained for four years, with great success. Among the patrons of this school were numbered some of the most prominent families of the country. In 1862, owing to poor health, he temporarily relinquished his work as a teacher, and both he and his brother went back to their native town, where they purchased farms and engaged in agricultural pursuits for a number of years. To the end of his life Mr. Belden lived upon his farm, even when engaged in other pur- suits.

In 1867, his health being restored, he resumed teaching, and was for two years principal of one of the public schools of Ansonia, Conn. From 1872 to 1874 he was in charge of the classical department in the Military Institute in Weston, Conn., and in 1875 and 1876 conducted the Trinity School in Southport, Conn. Returning to Wilton, he maintained for some years a private school in his own home, giving par- ticular attention to the education of Spanish stu- dents, of whose language he was an accomplished master. His reputation as a linguist extended far be- vond his native town. There was probably no man in the state whose mastery of languages, both an- cient and modern, was more thorough or extensive. His favorite tongues, in which he was most thorough- ly at home, were Greek, Latin, Spanish and French.

Mr. Belden, however, was a man whose rare clever-

ness was not confined to one department of knowl- edge. Hismathematical abilities seemed to be equally signal, and for many years he exercised them in the profession of surveyor and civil engineer. He held the position of County Surveyor, and during the last twenty years of his life his services were in frequent demand. The painstaking accuracy which characterized his work in every other department was noticeable also in this.

In public affairs he took a warm interest, and his conscientiousness, honesty and good judgment were so fully recognized that he was chosen again and again to offices of public trust. For many years he held the office of First Selectman of Wilton, for six years he represented that town in the Legislature and for five years he was County Commissioner. He held many other positions of responsibility, and his integrity, combined with his intelligence and general familiarity with the law, made his services in con- stant demand in the settlement of estates and other trusts of a semi-legal character. In everything he performed his duties with a strict fidelity that ex- tended to the minutest detail.

In religious matters he was no less prominent and faithful. Of Churchly descent-line, he was brought up in the Episcopal Church, and was always a devout, carnest, loyal member of that com- munion. For over thirty years he represented St. Matthew's Church, Wilton, in the Diocesan Conven- tion, serving also as Senior Warden and Treasurer for twenty-three years, and acting as lay reader in the vacancies of rectorships and at other times. While his loyalty was given to his own Church, he was free from bigotry, and probably no man in the county was more deeply loved and respected by all classes. The widow and the fatherless found in him a sympa- thetic adviser and helper, and his parish the strongest lay pillar it ever had.

Personally, though naturally somewhat re- served, "He was genial and sociable among his friends, and a rare conversationalist. He always had some apt quotation from the classics, some appropri- ate anecdote, or some close comparison to make his meaning clear, or to clinch an argument." His un- usual mental gifts appeared all the more attractive by virtue of the unobtrusive modesty which charac- terized his entire career. The retired life which he chose to lead so many years upon the Wilton farm could not hide his engaging personality or his singu- lar gifts of mind and character from the community at large, and at his funeral the tributes of respect

Here ends the male line of the third generation of William and Margaret (Arms) Belden.

The town of Wilton is a rewardful field for Belden Genealogia, and the author has collected much data in this direction. The matter, however, of investigation in the William and Margaret Belden line more properly belongs to Wilton, and every effort put forth for its accomplishment is deserving of support.

In recognition of an important Norwalk and Stamford Webb constituency the story- thread of the early non home-lot proprietors is here briefly broken in order to text-introduce, in connection with the Webb family note which closed on page 389 and in consonance tenor with the lineage preface, page 81, the submitted collected and contributed

WEBB GENEALOGY.

Gen. I. Sir Henry and Grace (Arden) Webb, 1533.

Gen. II. Alexander and Margaret (Arden) Webb.

Gen. III. Alexander Webb, Jr.

Gen. IV Richard Webb1- of Norwalk, 1650. (See page 149.)

In miscellaneous Genealogia et Heraldica, by Joseph Jackson Howard, LL. D., F. S. A., Vol. II., Third Series, page 156, is found thus :

"Henry Webbe of the city of London, Gentillman, is descendyd of a Hovse vnde- famed and ben one of ye Gentleman Vshers vnto the late Kyng of most famous memory, Henry ye Eight." etc. The wife of this Sir Henry Webb was Grace, sister of Robert Arden, of Warwickshire.

Alexander, the oldest son of Sir Henry and Grace Webb, married Margaret Arden, and had Robert, Margaret and Alexander Jr. This last son had a family of six children, the oldest of whom, Richard, born 1584, is said to have been the Norwalk Webb foreparent.

According to this pedigree Richard Webb14 was approaching three score years and ten when he cast his lot among the Norwalk pioneers. His age and child-unaccompaniment when he arrived in this town may account for the early disappearance of the family. Mrs. Webb (second wife, probably,) was Elizabeth, sister, it would seem, to settler John Gregory. To her was bequeathed the entire Webb property. Thomas Butler and wife Sarah, of Hart- ford, claimed, and apparently successfully so, Webb heirship, but the two eventually (May 16, 1671) relinquished all rights by virtue of "deeds, gifts or otherwise," and the estate fell to the widow, and finally to John Gregory. There was evidently no issue by the second mar-

and affection paid by all classes were eloquent wit- nesses of the influence of his true and noble life.

He died very suddenly, of apoplexy, the result of overwork, on Sunday, July 28, 1895, while preparing, as usual, to attend the services of the Church, and was buried in St. Matthew's Churchyard, Wilton. His widow and two sons survive him also his ven- erable mother, at the age of ninety-two, as well as two sisters and a brother.

1This thorough Belden and true woman has taken an intelligent and indefatigable interest in the work of collecting Belden data. During the closing years of her honored mother's life she with daughter- ly devotion ministered faithfully to her aged parent, and still made time to gather valuable family facts. The large Belden household is her debtor. The home of Mrs. Dr. Warren is in the neighborhood of the "Rock House Woods " of early Norwalk story.

riage, and only one child, it is conjectured, by the former union, viz, Richard Webb, Jr., of Stamford in 1651.

Granting the preceding generation table to be correct there is opened an inviting Old and New World Webb, Arden and Shakespeare family investigation.

There were at least two well known branches of the Arden family in England. It has been broached that the Arden-Webb branch may be of Norman invasion date, and that William the Conqueror may have been an ARDEN FOREST1 patron. The right of Mary Arden, of Mrs. Sir Henry Webb blood, to vital connection with the principal Arden limb of that day was maintained, in 1699, by such British authorities as Sir William Dethick and Camden.2 Said Mary having been the wife of John Shakespeare and mother of William Shakespeare, the Stratford on Avon poet, it would follow (note, pages 387-389) that Richard Webb1st of Norwalk was kin to the master of the English tongue, "on whose forehead climb the crowns of the world."

Another connection of Richard Webb1st of Norwalk is of interesting mention. Lucy Webb, of Sir Henry Webb consanguinity, married, first, Hon. Jno. Robinson, and second, William Laude, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was executed at Tower Hill in January, 1645.

Richard Webb, Jr., born January 9, 1611, settled in Stamford. His children are thus reported :

William, born May 10, 1632, settled in Weymouth, Mass .;

Joshua, born March 15, 1634 ;

Joseph, born March 30, 1636;

Richard, born April 14, 1638 ;

John, born April 12, 1640;

Sarah, born October 16, 1653 ;

A child, born October 5, 1655, died January 1, 1656;

Samuel, born March 30, 1662;

Caleb, born March 20, 1664;

Jonathan, born April 12, 1675.

Richard Webb, Jr., died March 15, 1675-6.

Jonathan, son of Richard, Jr., and Margery Webb, married Judith Chamberlain and had Richard, born January 12, 1722, who married Abigail Hoyt and had Silvanus, born October 5, 1745, who married Mary Wood and had Silas, born July 31, 1784, who married Mindwell Hoyt and had Silas, Jr., born November 9, 1815, who married Rachel Sherman and had George Francis (Dr. G. F. Webb of Cleveland, Ohio), born August 20, 1851, who married Nancy Allen Hill and had, Leroy Arthur, Pearl Edith and Faith Eva. Dr. George F. Webb of Cleveland, Ohio, has distinguished himself as a Webb genealogist.

Silas Webb, the son of Silvanus and Mary (Wood) Webb, had eleven children. Matilda,

1It is stated that young Wm. Shakespeare fre- quented the forests of Arden and therefrom drew some of the pictures which his genius so wonderfully por- . trayed. The wood lay but a short distance from Stratford-on-Avon.

2It is strict truth to say that Dethick and Cam- den supported this claim because of the strong pre- sumptive evidence in its favor, not because of posi- tive proof. The argument, however, in defense of the claim is not easily challenged.

his youngest daughter but one, married John Johnson and was the mother of Henry Webb Johnson, D. D., of South Bend, Indiana, 1899.

OF WEBB GENERATION.

At the lower end of the road leading from the center of the present city of Stamford to the seat of the Sachem Wascussue at peninsular and Indian Shippan stretched, in early New England history, a fine piece of territory, a goodly section of which was appropriated by some of the former members of the large Scofield family. Daniel Scofield appears to have been the Stamford founder of this influential household, and his granddaughter, Hannah, to have taken to herself, the year after the decease of said Daniel, the name of Mrs. Joseph Webb. Joseph Webb, the husband of Hannah Scofield, was a son of Richard Webb2nd (Richard1st was the Norwalk resident), and named his first born for himself. The junior Joseph Webb, born January 5, 1674, was probably cradled near the sheet of water which is now approached by Broad Street in Stamford. At the age of twenty-four (February 23, 1698,) he married Mary, born September 20, 1673, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah Weed Hoyt. Mrs. Benjamin Hoyt (Hannah De Grasse anciently) was the youngest child of Jonas and Mary Weed. Her sister, Mrs. George Abbott, (so believed,) resided in Norwalk, and her father was of Huguenot extraction. It was this parent whose house in 1651, (while the family worshipped "on a Sabbath Day in the meeting time") was entered by an Indian servant and despoiled. The Weed grandfather of Mrs. Joseph Webb, Jr., came (see Genealogies and History of Watertown, page 963,) with Sir Richard Saltonstall to this land and (see Winthrop's Journal, page 340) accompanied Sir Richard to Watertown, where he was admitted, May 18, 1631, as freeman, and from which place he was church-dismissed May 29, 1635, to Wethersfield. He sailed from Yarmouth April, 1630, arrived in Salem June 12, 1630, and appears in Stamford in 1642. The Hoyt blood of Mrs. Joseph Webb2nd coincides with that of the Norwalk Hoyt family. She was a niece of Walter Hoyt of Norwalk and second cousin of Zerubbabel, grandfather of James, from whom the families of Goold, Jesse and Isaac Hoyt, and also the Shermans (Gen. W. T. and Hon. John) sprang. (See pages 354-361.)

To Joseph211 and Mary (Hoyt) Webb was born, January 26, 1700, Joseph Webbard (Lieutenant), who married, first, August 23, 1726, Sarah, born November 7, 1702, daughter of Samuel and Abigail (Finch) Blachley. These had a son Joseph, born December 8, 1727, who married, February 2, 1749, Mehitable Nott of Wethersfield, and had a son, Samuel Blachley, born December 13, 1753.

Samuel Blachley Webb (General)1 married, second, September 3, 1790, Catharine,

1General Samuel B. Webb, an elite-leader and an elegant man, was not alone Norwalk related, but his name is here well recalled, and is Norwalk incident- associated. Heis alluded to to-day as an acquaintance of the Broad Street Willinks, so many of the valuable effects of which family have been sent from this town to England. The family library of his intimate friend, Gouverneur Morris, was, for a season, preserved in this town. The exact duplicate of the chair to which

he aide-conducted Washington at the ceremonies of April 30, 1789, and which belonged, originally, to the grandfather of the late Rear Admiral Francis H. Gregory, now stands in the Dr. John Cannon hall on Norwalk Green. The General's striking feature-fine- ness singularly accorded with that of several of the same Cannon connection-Kortright-Pintard- Brasher. (Note, page 303.) There is no ground, however, for affinity-supposition in this direction.

daughter of Judge Hogaboom, and had, February 8, 1802, James Watson1, who became the Hon. James Watson Webb, of editorial renown. Hon. James Watson Webb married, first, July 1, 1823, Helen Lispenard Stewart, and had Robert Stewart, born August 12, 1824, who married Mary Van Horne Clarkson of old Norwalk family association (see notes pages 17-23).

General Alexander Stewart Webb, born February 15, 1835, son of Hon. James Watson and Helen L. S. Webb, married, November 28, 1855, Anna Elizabeth Remsen. William Seward Webb, half brother of General Alexander S. Webb, married Lilia Osgood, daughter of William H. Vanderbilt of New York. Mr. William S. Webb is President of the Wagner Palace Car Company, and Secretary of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. His brother, Henry Walter Webb, is Third Vice President of the New York Central railroad.

George Creighton Webb, born December 4, 1853, is a younger son of Hon. James Watson Webb.

WEBB-HAVENS.

It is barely possible that Richard Webb, Sr., whose settler home was erected close to the corner of the ancient Stamford-Fairfield path, was visited ere his death (1656-60) by John Webb (son of Richard, Jr.) of Stamford. This younger Webb, born April 12, 1640, was still a young man when the oldest Norwalk Webb was carried on a July day to his burial, one of the earliest of the pioneers of this old plantation to be removed hence. John Webb lived in New Haven. His wife was Sarah Bassett. John is not mentioned in his father's will because, perchance, of his New Haven citizenship, but his mother-in-law, Mrs. Robert Bassett, testamentarily remembered him. He married early and by his first and third wives had fourteen children.

John Webb, son of Richard Webb, Jr., had a son, John, Jr., who resided in Northamp- ton, Mass., and was brother of Ebenezer and Henry, as per note pages 387-389. The Henry Webb here referred to, and whose name occurs in the Norwalk Town Records, married, October 10, 1695, Mary, daughter of Samuel Hurlbutt, and had a son Ebenezer, born November 20, 1697, who married a Terrell and had a son Orange, Sr., of Southold, L. I., who married Frances Sandyforth. These had a son, Orange, Jr., who was a New York city merchant, having, as old Norwalk bill-heads show, prominent "Gotham" patronage. Orange Webb2nd married Eliza Cebra and his children were: James Cebra, Fanny Maria (Mrs. Rev. Alexander G. Fraser), Augustus Van Horn, Catharine Cebra (Mrs. Renssalaer Havens), David Sandyforth, Eliza Cebra and Sarah Ann (Mrs. James H. Leverich).

Orange Webb, Jr., died, and his widow married, second, William Lockwood (father of William S.) of Norwalk, and dignified the old North Avenue Lockwood mansion (page 441).

The children of Renssalaer and Catharine C. (Webb) Havens were Howard, Frances Maria (Mrs. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell of Norwalk), Sylvester Dering, Charles and Catharine Eliza- beth. The last, Catharine Elizabeth, now resides in Willow Street, Stamford, near the home of her niece, Mrs. LeGrand Lockwood, Jr.

The foregoing submitted Richard Webb, Sr., antecedents are presented as the results of extended investigation. The facts seem to be as set forth and the author, while he

declines to unreservedly vouch for genealogical claims and statements of date prior to that of the settlement of Norwalk, is yet pleased to here (inter-page) recapitulate the inter-topic, Webb lineage. (See inserted sheet.)

JONATHAN CAMPI

Just what brought the founder of this honored Norwalk household to this town is not known. Foot note page 228 furnishes nothing more than a "supposition" in this direction. Jonathan1st, son of Samuel Camp2nd of Milford,1 came, however, and with seemingly a well lined purse, and made, at the age of four and twenty, a handsome Norwalk acreage purchase. The settlement at the date of Mr. Camp's appearance had considerably outgrown its original limitations, so that the Camp farm at "the Rocks" appeared, doubtless, much nearer town to Governor Thomas Fitch than it would have done to Thomas Fitch the planter. What appears to have been the first home of Jonathan Camp1" and his young bride Ann stands to-day, a cottage picture, near the upper end of France Street, to which point2 it was years ago removed from its native foundation at the early Camp farm. There tenanted the two foreparents with their four sons and three daughters who were bred to industry and because so to independence. Even a lad who visited the premises during their occupation by a de- scendant of the third generation was impressed by what he saw. (Note, page 348.)

Mrs. Ann Camp, wife of Jonathan1st and foremother of the large Norwalk family which bears that name, was descent-derived as mentioned on page 350. As inferred from the Nor- walk land records she was probably married quite young and not far from the date of her husband's maiden purchase at "East Rocks." She lost an unmarried sister (Esther) at about the time of her Norwalk-adoption, but had at least one sister and two brothers left. Her grandmother on her father's side was a daughter of Thomas Campfield of New Milford, and a niece of Matthew, of Norwalk, who was the only settler of this town nominated in His Majesty's charter. She had also a Norwalk great-aunt, Mrs. Christopher Comstock of Home lot XIII, page 250. Under the coping of the Milford stone, memorial to her great-grand- father, is cut the following inscription: "GOD SIFTED A WHOLE NATION THAT HE MIGHT SEND CHOICE GRAIN INTO THE WILDERNESS." Her maternal ancestry was also colonially conspic- uous. Her mother was the ninth child and sixth daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Baldwin) Buckingham, and she took the name of a Buckingham aunt, Ann, who, it is believed, never married. Her Buckingham grandmother was Sarah, daughter of Timothy, the old Baldwin settler of Milford. Samuel Buckingham, her grandfather, was son of Thomas Buckingham, the foreparent, and her great-aunt (sister of her grandfather Samuel) was Mrs. Thomas
