The photograph from which the above engraving was made was taken June 15, 1898, at the residence of C. E. Fairchild, on the occasion of the gist birthday anniversary of Mrs. Sarah C. Fair child, widow of Ebenezer Fairchild, and daughter of Job Candee a soldier of the Revolution. Eight other elderly ladies were invit ed, the average age of the nine being 85 years, and all, with the hostess, Mrs. C. E. Fairchild, were photographed as above. Near ly all the ladies were representatives of families which for more than two centuries and a half had been landed proprietors in this im mediate vicinity, families which had shared in the perils and priva tions of the War of the Revolution, and had borne well their par in shaping the destinies of the Republic.
PART III. GENEALOGY.
BY FRANK G. BASSETT.
PREFACE.
In writing the genealogies of the families who live or have lived within the limits of the town of Seymour. it has been the intent and purpose of the writer to rescue from utter decay the names of those men and women who lo- cated in this beautiful valley and from whom many of us have descended.
I trust the public will appreciate my labors, for it has been the purpose of the writer to have this part of the work as nearly complete as possible; but for the want of time and space he has been obliged to omit many dates for some future writer to find and add. One object sought in writing the genea- logy of the families of this town was to place the names of those early settlers on record, that they may be known to future generations, as the old records which have been handed down to us are fast decaying and soon will be lost: the names of those. from whom we descend, and in whom we should be in- terested.
The Rev. Samuel Oreutt, the historian, speaks of those who have no in- terest in their ancestors, or the past. as follows: "The person who is indiffer ent to the past is too selfish to be of much benefit to the world in the present and too heedless of wisdom to accomplish much for human good in the lu- ture."
I would be very remiss in my duty if I did not at this time acknowledge the assistance rendered in this work by many of the citizens of the town, as well as those who have removed from here to other towns, and especially do I extend my thanks to Mrs. N. G. Pond, of Milford, and Miss Katherine .1. Prichard and Emma S. Tomlinson, of Waterbury, for the very valuable in- formation which they have given, and which has very much aided me in my work.
Very respectfully. FRANK G. BASSETT,
Author of the Genealogical History of Seymour.
