t Hon. FRANCIS GILLETTE was born in that portion of the town of Windsor now included in Bloomfield, Dec. 14th, 1807. At the early age of six years, he lost his father, and his mother marrying again some two or three years later, a man who felt no sympathy or kindness for the fatherless boy, his childhood was a drear and chilling orphanage. Yet, though he could bardly be said to have a home, and was made to feel the bitterness of his loss full often, there were in bim, even in childhood, the same elements of truthfulness, honor and fearlessness, which have

marked his manhood. Even his harsh stepfather, whose hatred of him seemed almost insane io its malignity, acknowledged, that he had never kuown him to utter a falsehood, or use a profane word. Yet, uotwithstanding this testimony, he lost uo opportunities of endeavoring to prejudice his friends, and even the boy's own mother, against him. When a little more than fifteen years of age, young Gillette attended an academy at Ashfield, Mass , where his mother was then residing. Here, the latent love of learning in his heart first began to develop itself; he soon determined that be must have a collegiate educatiou ; and, with almost unexampled industry, fitted himself to enter Yale college, in one year. Ilis step-father said little, while he was busily acquiring his preparatory education; but when the time had come for him to go to New Haven for examination, his wrath burst forth, and kuowing the dutiful disposition of the son to his mother, he prevailed on her to interpose and prevent his going. But he had mistaken the force of will in that quiet hoy. Suspecting the source of her objectious, (which might have had more force, had he not possessed the means of acquiring an education, inde- peudent of her), the young student reasoned with her, and sought to obtain her approval. Fiuding, however, that she was too much under her hushend's influence to he readily moved, and feeling that he must have an education, he at last said, " Well, mother, I must and will go to college, in spite of father or the devil." Aud he did go. In college, he was studions, emulative, yet social and popular with his fellow students. In the classics, in philosophical studies and Belles Lettres, he ranked high. The mathematics were not favorite studies, but he maintained a fair stauding in them. He was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and chosen unanimously by his classmates Class valedictorian.


After his graduation, Mr. Gillette entered a law office, hut his health having become im- paired, and without applying for admission to the Bar, he relinquished his legal studies, and settled upon his patrimony, as a farmer. Upon taking the electoral oath in 1832, he was chosen to represent the town of Windsor in the General Assembly. Again, in 1838. he received the same appointment from the town of Bloomfield, which had, three years before, been incorporated by the legislaturo. In hoth eases he acquitted himself as a fearless aud eloquent legislator. It was in 1838 that questions touching the subject of slavery were first pressed upon the attention of the legislature. Mr. G. did not hesitate to range himself on the side of freedom, aud advocate the claims of justice and humauity. Ilis spcech on the proposition to erase the word " white" from the Constitution of the state made a deep impression upon the legislature. He now became thoroughly and prominently identified with the anti-slavery party, and in 1841, at the organization of the liberty party in Connecticut, was nomineted for governor, a nomination often repeated, notwithstanding his earnest declinatures. In IS54, Mr. Gillette was elected to fill the long term in the U. S. seuate, and it is doing no discredit to the mauy emiuent men who have occupied a seat in the senate from our state, to say, that during his brief term of office, uo Connecticut seuator ever deported himself with more of dignity and propriety, none kuew hetter when to speak aud when to be sileut, while by his votes, not less than in his speeches, he evinced that capacity for statesmanship, which caused his retirement

from the senate to be regarded as a serions loss, by the ablest statesman in it. But it is not alone as an anti-slavery writer and speaker that Mr. Gillette has acquired a reputation. Ho early identified himself with the canse of temperance, and no man in Connecticut has been more active, consistent and earnest in its advocacy. Some of his most eloquent addresses, and most powerful written appeals, have been directed against the traffie in intoxicating drinks. The earnest temperance men of the state, however they might differ from him on the subjeet of slavery, yet ever welcomed him as a true yoke-fellow in the cause of temperance. Nor has he heen less active in the promotion of education. From 1838 to 1842 he most heartily sym- pathized with, and aided Hon. IIenry Barnard in his zealous labors for educational reform ; and during the years of gloom that succeeded, his faith never faltered, nor were his efforts wanting, to do all that a private gentleman might do, to hasten a better time for the improvement of education in the state. In 1849, at the organization of the Normal School, he was named one of its trustees, and soon after chosen chairman of the Board, an office which he has ever since filled to great acceptance. In 1857 he was chosen Aeting Visitor of the Board of Visitors of schools in Ilartford, and regarding any service in the canse of education as honorable, he accepted the appointment, and has filled it with rare fidelity and ability. Mr. Gillotto removed to Hartford in 1852, and in connection with John Hooker, Esq., his brother-in-law, purchased the Nook farm estate, in the management of which, in literary pursuits, in leeturing, and in the performance of his publie doties, he finds ample employment, and a happy life.

(1635-50) assumes a value which can scarcely be over estimated ; in short, he was a pious, hardworking, conscien- tious Christian man, and a model town clerk ; his first wife's name is unknown ; he m. 2, Susannah Rockwell in W., May 29, 1645 ; " Matthew Grant, Re- corder," d.

" In State Archives, in vol. of MSS., relating to Private Controversies, p. 138, in a matter con- cerning lands in dispute between Joseph Loomis, Jr., and Senr., April 21, 1675, Matthew Grant testifies :


" And if any question my uprightness and legal acting about our town affairs, that I have been employed in a measuring of land, and getting out of lots to men which has been dooe by me from our first beginning here, come next Sept. is 40 yere. I never got out land to any man, until I knew he had a grant to it from the townsmen, and town's approbation or about recording after the Book was turned to me, which is near 23 years since. I can suy with a cleare couscience, I have been careful to do nothing upon one man's desire," &c.
