GENEALOGIES AND BIOGRAPHIES OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.

America and England, that would have been most unfavorable to the interests of France. On the part of this country, the negotiations and discussions were con- ducted almost exclusively by Judge Ellsworth. While it was found impossible to obtain all the concessions which our envoys demanded, the convention agreed upon in September secured all that, under the actual circumstances, was necessary. France conceded the rights of neutral vessels, agreed to pay indemnity for depre- dations on our commerce, and assured ns peace without at all sacrificing our rights or interests. Although the treaty met with opposition in Congress, time has proved that the honor and welfare of this country could not have been placed in more ca- pable hands. *

Mr. Ellsworth's health had, for some time, been seriously impaired; the voyage to Europe and subsequent travel on the Continent only contributed to increase his malady. The time of his departure for home being delayed until late in the an- tumn, it was thought that his life would be endangered by attempting to recross the ocean at that unfavorable season. He was carried to England on board of the frigate Portsmouth, the vessel which was to bring the ambassadors back to this country. There he tested, with some benefit, the efficacy of the mineral waters at Bath. His son Oliver, who had accompanied him as seeretary, returned home with Commissioner Davie, bringing with him his father's resignation of the office of Chief-Justice. While in England, Mr. Ellsworth was the recipient of marked at- tention on the part of the Court, and of the leading public men, as well as of the Bench and Bar. He sailed from Bristol, England, in the ship Nancy, in April, 1801, and, after a painful voyage, was landed at Boston. + Safely arrived at his home, and freed from the cares of public office, Mr. Ellsworth resolved to pass his remain- ing years in the quiet of private life. In 1802, however, he was again elected a member of the Governor's Council, which aeted as a Superior Court of Errors in Connecticut, being the final Court of Appeals from all inferior State jurisdictions. Here his influence was controlling, for, in addition to the weight of acknowledged talents, he now united the authority of age and long distinguished public service. In May, 1807, the Legislature of Connecticut remodeled the State Judiciary, and Ellsworth was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He accepted this appointment, but, finding that the decline of his health would impair his useful- ness for the duties of the office, he resigned it before the adjournment of the Legis- lature. The nephritie complaints to which he had been so long subject attained a fatal violence this year. He died Nov. 26, 1807, and was buried in the cemetery at Windsor. A monument, erected by his children and suitably inscribed,; marks his resting-place.

" Ellsworth died greatly regretted, as in his life he had been admired for his ex- traordinary endowments, his accomplishments as an advocate, his integrity as a judge, his patriotism as a legislator and ambassador, and his exemplariness as a Christian."

* See, in this connection, and with reference to Ellsworth's share in this convention, a most interesting article in The Century magazine, July, 1887, entitled. " An Incident in the Life of John Adams." by the his- torian, Hon. George Bancroft.

PARIS, August 5, 1800.

+ Dear Mrs. Ellsworth: - I shall leave France next month, let our business, which is yet unfinished. terminate as it may. If it please God that I see my family and friends once more. I shall certainly love them better than ever. OLIVER ELLSWORTH.

THE ELLSWORTH FAMILY.

Mr. Ellsworth is described as having been tall and ereet. His eyes were blue. large, fine. and penetrating, while his brows were arched and heavy; the ordinary expression of his features was pleasant. His manners were plain, simple, and un- affected, yet all in his presence felt the courtliness and dignity of his bearing. He was particular as to his personal appearance, and never hurried at his toilet; in public he always appeared in black silk stockings, with silver knee-buckles, and wore a fine ruffled shirt. While occupying the seat of justice, his silk robe and powdered hair greatly heightened his natural advantages.

" Ile was a lover of the peace and order of society; one that respected the public institutions of Christianity, - a professor of the religion of Jesus from youth. In private life he was regular, and strictly temperate. In his intercourse with men he was social, easy of access, and, from the improvement of his mind and that fund of useful knowledge which he possessed, his conversation was improving and highly entertaining. In learning he was not inferior to his successor, Chief Justice Marshall; in labor he was his equal."

Daniel Webster, on one occasion, in the Senate, referred to Ellsworth as "a gen- tleman who had left behind him, on the records of the Government of his country, prools of the clearest intelligence and of the utmost purity and integrity of character." *

In 1790, Yale College conferred the honorary degree of LL.D. upon Oliver Ellsworth, U. S. Senator. This example was followed by Dartmouth and Princeton Colleges in 1791.

[Reminiscences of Chief Justice Ellsworth, by his grandson, Rev. GEORGE 1. Wood of Ellington. Conn.t

Mr. Ellsworth was an intense and continuous thinker: so much so that he was often oblivious of the presence of those around him. Ilis thinking, too, was gen- erally such as pertained to subjects of national concern, or some important case at court with which he happened to be, for the time, engaged. Whenever he was walking in the hall of his house, as he often did, or sitting by the fireside alone, or with company, his lips would be seen to be moving, and his thoughts were some times distinctly audible.

* That Judge Ellsworth did not escape the virulence of political criticism any more than his compeers of that day is evident from the following (few from many) extracts from the Journal of William Maclay (edited and published by Edgar S. Maclay, A.M., New York: D. Appleton & Company, 1590). Maclay was opposed to the Federalists: indeed he was said to have been the " father of the Democratic party "

April 9. 1790.

Elsworth reported a bill for the government south of the Ohio. It was to be the same as the govern p. 235. ment of the Western Territory, mutatis mutandis. I had some previous discourse with Elsworth on this subject. Lean with truth pronounce him the most meandid man Lever knew possessing such abilities. I am often led to doubt whether he has a particle of integrity : perhaps such a quality is useless in Connectiont.

Jannary 12th, Wednesday. 1791

A bill was now called up respecting consuls and vire-consuls. This bill Was pp. drawn and brought in by Elsworth, and, of course, he hung like a bat to every particle of it. The 368. 369. first clause was a more chaos style. preamble, and enacting clause all jumbled together it wa- really namendable: at least, the shortest way to amend it was to bring in a new one.

This same Elaworth is a striking instance how powerful a man may be in some departments of mind and defective in others. AAl-powerful and eloquent in debate, he is, notwithstanding, a miserable draftsman. The habits of the bar and the list of litigation have formed him to the former; the latter is in a degree the gift of Nature.

GENEALOGIES AND BIOGRAPHIES OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.

As an instance illustrative of this peenliarity, Mr. Jabez II. Hayden of Windsor Locks onee informed the writer that there was a young man engaged in teaching in Mr. Ellsworth's vicinity, to whom the Judge was desirous of showing some attention, and so he invited him to call at his house. The teacher, Mr. A., accord- ingly called one evening, and was ushered into the parlor, where the family was seated before the fire, the Judge himself in front and deeply absorbed, as usual, in his own meditations, talking away in a low voice to himself. The others arose and greeted Mr. A. as he entered, while the Judge never even noticed that any one had entered, but went on thinking for some time. After the visitor had been engaged awhile in conversation with the family, and was beginning to feel somewhat at ease, all at once the Judge happened to look up and espied him for the first time. Supposing he had just come in, he arose and greeted him very cordially, and began to introduce him to the others.

It was his custom often to ride from Windsor to Hartford, in court time, on horse-back, and to take a boy behind him to bring back the horse. This boy, in giving an account of his rides, said that the Judge was all the time talking to him- self about some case in court, and never seemed to know that any one was with him.

His daughter, Fanny - Mrs. Wood - said that her father was accustomed to use snuff, and that, when he was more than ordinarily engaged in thinking, or in writ- ing, he would take out his box at frequent intervals and go through the form of taking a pineh, and would then drop most of the snuff in little piles on the carpet near him. Ilis family sometimes judged of the intensity and depth of his medita- tions by the number of these piles of snuff around his chair. At one time, believ- ing, as well he might, that he was in the habit of taking snuff too often, he carried his box into the garret and deposited it on the top of the stairs, thus obliging himself to ascend and descend two flights of stairs every time he wanted a pinch. But, finding that this consumed too much time, he finally kept his box again in his pocket, and probably never entirely relinquished the habit.

Although he was necessarily absent from home much of the time and engrossed with important public interests, he was strongly attached to his family and to his neighbors, and was always rejoiced when his duties allowed him to return.

lle made but little account of table indulgences. His cating he seemed to regard as simply a means of enabling him to continue his working and thinking. Indeed, the latter process was not often interfered with by his meals. When his meal was ready, and he had been summoned, be usually moved toward the table without delay, saying, " Who eats ? who eats ?" Very little talking was ever done there by the other members of the family. The head of the family was so busy with his thoughts that the rest felt little disposition to interrupt their current.

Among his many excellences he was entirely devoid of any foolish pride or ostentation. llis father had given him a farm and house in Wintonbury (now Bloomfield) before he was married and about the time he began to practice law in Hartford. He was accustomed to walk into the city during court time, and to walk back in the evening, that he might attend to his home cares. One day, as he was walking into Hartford he met an acquaintance riding in his own carriage. His friend jocularly addressed him with, " I am surprised to see a man like you going on foot; why don't you ride ?" " I have observed," answered Mr. E., "that most men have to walk some part of their lives, and I prefer to do my walking while I am young and able to do it."

As a speaker Mr. Ellsworth was rapid in utterance, concise in his language, and deeply in earnest, rather overwhelming his listeners by the force of his argument than winning his way by any artful and pleasing form of words.

lle was a man of majestic and commanding mien. The best likeness of him, by far, is contained in the life-size painting of himself and wife, by Earl, an English

painter of celebrity, whichi still occupies its old position in the family mansion at Windsor. The bust made by Augur of New Haven (from several smaller likenesses, and from one or two sittings of Mrs. Wood, whose brow and forehead hore quite a resemblance to his), which is in the Supreme Court Room at Washington, has some of his looks, but is altogether too stern.

The Emperor Napoleon, who was First Consul of France, when Mr. Ellsworth, with Messrs. Davie and Murray, was sent to negotiate a treaty with that country, was at once impressed with Mr. E.'s looks and bearing at his otlicial presentation, and remarked to some one Dear him, "We shall have to make a treaty with that

The Judge was a devout man and a sincere Christian ; a statesman guided by religious principle. Mrs. Wood told us that, on his return from France, after a period of anxious care and of physical exhaustion, greatly increased by a malady that at last proved fatal. as he alighted in front of his home at Windsor and in a state of great weariness, he was so impressed with a sense of God's goodness in bringing him safety home that he paused at the outside of the gate and bowed his head upon it, there offering up a brief prayer of thanksgiving for his preservation, before speaking a word to his family.
