The Newberry Family were from Devonshire, England.t ." Thomas New- berry," says the History of Dorchester, Mass , "one of earliest settlers and largest landed proprietors of Dorchester, received from the General Court a grant of 100 acres on Neponset, March, 1624, and many grants from the Dor- chester proprietary. He laid out a large farm in Squantum, and built a house there. * * * * Mr. Newberry lived on the Rock in 1634, when he be- came freeman and selectman. In 1635 he was appointed to oversee works at the Castle. He was early engaged in the Connecticut enterprise ; sold his Dorchester property, and prepared to remove to Windsor ; but his death, which took place in 1636, prevented # His family, however, removed. His farm passed into the possession of John Glover, and was situated in that part of Dorchester now Quincy, and known as " The Farms." His widow, HAN- NAH, removed to Windsor in one of the earlier emigrations, accompanied by her two sons, BENJAMIN,1 and THOMAS,2 and two daughters, MARY, who m. Daniel Clark June 13, 1644, and SARAH, who m. Henry Wolcott, in 1642. Thus well descended, possessing abundant means, and connected by marriage with some of the first families of Windsor, the Newberrys assumed a promi- ment and honorable position among the first settlers of the Connecticut Colony.

JOHN MILTON,*3 m. 1, Sarah (dau. of William Robinson, and wid. of Lewis
JOHN MILTON NILES, an editor, author, politician and statesman of eminent ability, and long and varied public service, was horu in that part of Windsor which retains the Indian name of Pognonnoc, on the 20th of August, 1787. His father, Moses Niles, was a native of Groton, in the county of New London, who emigrated to Windsor previous to the Revolutionary war, and married iuto the ancient family of the Marshalls. Both the Niles and the Marshall families were of the old Puritan stock, and cach, with some intellectual peculiarities, had marked traits of men- tal vigor and capacity. Losing his father in early childhood, John Milton's educational advou- tages were limited to the opportunities afforded by a common district school-such as the schools were at the close of the last century. The family was not affluent, and his youth was one of severe and unremitting manual labor upon the little farm which he and his eldest brother cul- tivated. Though possessing an ardent thirst for knowledge, he had but slight opportunities for its gratification until after he was twenty years of age, when, prompted and encouraged by others, whose opinions he respected, and who saw and appreciated his tulents, he resolved to acquire a more thorough education. Restricted, however, in his means, and deeming himself too old for collegiate advantages, he entered at once upon a course of systematic and laborions study, which he followed up with such assiduity as for a time to impair bis health. With an inqui- sitive and keenly discriminating intellect, fond of statistics, and a memory that retained every incident and event that came within his reading and observation, his mind hecame a great store house of facts, that were always at command, and made him always formidable to political or legislative opponeuts. He was an earuest and close reader, thoroughly masteriug the subject of every hook he perused. This was of service to him not only while a student, bnt during his whole after life. Few men associated with him in the public councils were more conversant with history, better understood the science of governmeut, or had more deeply iuvestig ated tle poli- tical and civil institutions of our owo and other countries.
