power, which is improved by a variety of manufacturing inte- rests.
At Rainbow, Charles W. Denslow has a mill, wire works, which employs about 20 hands.
Hodge & Co. have two paper mills, eight engines, and two machines, employing about 30 hands.
Denslow & Chase have a machine shop, employed principally in millwright work and paper machinery.
At Poquonnoc are the Franklin Paper Works, consisting of two mills, one of which is now owned by Buckland & Co., con- taining seven engines, one 62-inch Fourdrinier machine. The other mill has been recently sold to E. T. Goodrich of Hartford, and A. C. Goodman of New York, and has six engines, one 84 inch Fourdrinier machine.
A. M. Hathaway & Co. have a cotton mill, manufacturing cotton warps for carpets.
Harris & Co. have a cotton mill, with about 30 looms, manu- facturing printing cloths.
Alexander Clapp has a grist mill for custom work.
Much of the land about Poquonnoc is what is termed plain . land - sandy, partly covered with wood; when new, good for raising rye, well supplied with muck1 holes, and needs only energy to cart the muck on to the sandy parts to make them capable of bearing good crops.
This muck, according to the experience of Mr. Daniel Buck, Jr., of Poquonnoc, on the upland, " is equal to barn-yard manure, load for load." We herewith present an elaborate analysis, made by Prof. S. W. Johnson, of Yale College, of this muck, and also of the compact peat underlying it, which Mr. Buck employs for fuel. Both were examined in the air-dried state.

HISTORY OF ANCIENT WINDSOR.
The Congregational Church
at Poquonnoc, known as the second in Windsor, was formed several years since, mostly by the labors of the Rev. T. H. Rouse, and with the aid of the Home Missionary Society. The field was hard to cultivate and discouraging to look upon. Universalism and infidelity had not only killed the ancient church of Poquonnoc, but had sown the seeds of a moral and religious lethargy, which had rendered this beautiful portion of the town a reproach to the cause of Christ, and it was familiarly spoken of in the surrounding country as Sodom. But through the labors of a few, and the blessing of God, the scene has changed. In 1853, a handsome church edifice of brick was erected, and soon after, a parsonage. In 1857, the Rev. H. J. Lamb became the pastor, and new improvements were under- taken upon the church and parsonage, which were temporarily checked by the financial crisis of 1857. Soon after an exten- sive revival commenced in the society, and resulted not only in a manifest spiritual increase of strength, but in a determined and successful effort to clear off the debts and incumbrances on the church.

INTRODUCTION.
The ground-work material for the genealogical portion of this volume, was the Ancient Windsor Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths, from 1635 to 1858, which were copied for me by my brother, William L. Stiles, with rare patience and accuracy .* The filling-in material has been drawn, Ist, from private family records, ancient documents, wills, etc., kindly placed at my disposal by their owners ; 2dly, tombstone inscriptions collected from over fourteen graveyards within the limits of the towns which were formerly com- prised in Ancient Windsor ;t 3dly, from probate, state, church, and pastoral records, printed volumes, newspapers, etc., etc., too numerous to mention. In short, every means have been employed to render this portion of our history as interesting, reliable and complete as possible - for such an undertaking can never be complete, and must always fall far short of the ideal and desires of him who undertakes it. Two circumstances have principally prevented the work from being as full as I could have wished. First, that I was not a resident of the town, and thus did not possess the advantages of acquaintance, and traditionary knowledge of its inhabitants, which I should otherwise have enjoyed. I have therefore been obliged to go by the written record, and where that failed me, to rely on others. Secondly, others, especially the actual residents of the towns, who could and ought (for their own interests) to have aided me with those bits of personal and family history which public records fail to preserve - were strangely apathetic and indifferent to the matter. Out of over 1200 printed circu'ars containing genealogical inquiries, addressed by name to the residents of the six towns once comprised in Ancient Windsor, I have received answers to about one dozen ! The questions which these circulars contained were such as every intelligent man - who knew the name
* Also the similar records of the town of East Windsor, from 1768 (the date of its separa- tion from the old town) to 1835.

of his grandparents, parents, his own brothers and sisters, &c. - could have answered in five minutes - without (one would suppose) any very alarming expenditure of thought, time, or effort. But indifference reigned supreme - and if in the following pages, which present all that authentic written records, correspondence and unwearied personal effort could gather, these persons shall find serious gaps, and faults of omission, they may thank themselves ! I speak thus plainly because I am very well aware that these very persons will be foremost and severest in their criticisms of this my " labor of love." An- other class, however- an almost infinitesimal minority - have treated the matter quite differently. They have furnished me every facility ; have an- swered my letters fully and promptly ; have confided to me valuable and treasured documents ; have stirred up their friends and relatives to do like- wise - in short, have manifested a lively rational interest in their own an- cestry, and an appreciation of my labors for the gratification of that interest.
They have my most heartfelt thanks, and in these printed pages, methinks they will have a still greater reward, in the greater fullness of detail which their family records present. For, in a work of this kind, the value and in- terest of a genealogy must necessarily depend to a large degree upon the labor and assistance bestowed upon it by individual members of the family. They alone can give those little touches and incidents, which clothe and beautify the otherwise dry skeleton of dates.
Except in these cases, the genealogies which are here present must be con- sidered merely as approximations to, or material for genealogies. The im- mense amount of debris - the membra disjecta - the odds and ends which could not be fitted in to their appropriate niches, have been preserved under the head of Miscellaneous. There they will - by the kindly agencies of types - be preserved, until the right time, when the right hand shall fit them each to their right place. It is believed that the forms of arrangement em- ployed, are so simple and plain, as to need no elaborate explanation.
I might also add, that every genealogy has passed under my own eye- has been carefully collated with my large store of information and mann- scripts, has been arranged and rearranged, and is now presented to the pub- lic, with a reasonable confidence that it will be found correct and trust- worthy.

ALLEN and ALLYN. Among the original families of Ancient Windsor, there are three distinct families of this name. The ALLEN, from Enfield, who settled in East Windsor, and two families of ALLYN, one of Scotch and the other of English extraction. Owing to the peculiar disregard of orthogra- phical correctness displayed by town clerks, and grave-stone cutters, as well as individnals themselves, it has become a difficult and almost impossible task, in many cases, to distinguish to which family an individual belonged. This consideration will sufficiently account for any errors which may here- after be detected in the arrangement of this genealogy.
ALLEN (Allin, Alling - also Allyn). The descendants are very numerous in Enfield and East Windsor - there being about 50 tax payers of the name .* SAMUEL was chosen a juror of the Town of Windsor, March 5, 1644. He
