Below is given a list of the soldiers credited to Ellington in the Record of Connecticut Men in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865. The whole number is one hundred and forty-three. Of these, six re- önlisted, one was killed in battle, six died of disease, eight died of wounds, and eighteen were wounded but recovered.

[ Merchants, -- A. Meloan was the first in Ellington, and had a store on the old road formerly leading to Job's Hill, and about west of the former residence of Daniel Warner. He failed in business. however, and his principal creditor was the celebrated John Hancock, of Boston, to whom he had mortgaged his farm, which thus passed into Mr. H.'s hands, and has since been known as the Hancock farm. ]
Capt. Sessions then traded near where Mr. Shippey lives, and carried on the potash business. Dr. James Steele traded where Rodol- phus Taft now lives.
[JOHN HALL, a native of Lyme, Conn., was for many years a success- ful merchant in the southeast part of the town. His house and store stood a little south of a house built by Lyman Ransom, and lately owned by Nathan Doane. In those days a merchant did not seek a village, or central portion of a town, for business, but relied on his own energy to command trade, rather than npon any favorable location. To this store farmers brought their beef, pork, and grain. Mr. Hall had many persons employed in packing meat, transporting it to market, and carrying on some mechanic arts. Wrought nails were made here. At one time Nathan Hall, a brother of the merchant and father of Rev. Gordon Hall (graduate Williams Coll. 1808), one of the first missionaries from this country to heathen lands, had the care of the blacksmithing department. He afterwards removed to Tolland, Mass. The varied business carried on by Mr. Hall was very exhausting to the physical energies of one who had the oversight of so much, and who carried it on under all the ditli- culties of transportation and exchange of those days. Heavy loads were drawn by ox teams, and exchange was in " hard currency." Goods were purchased at Boston instead of New York, in those days, by mer- chants in this region. Mr. Hall went to Boston on horseback, and car ried his "hard money " in saddle-bags thrown upon the horse. . The weight of the specie was often greater than the weight of Mr. Hall, who was of medium size. ]
