* The following sketch of this individnal is from the pen of the late John M. Niles: "Mr. Wolcott possessed a highly original character ; a gigantic stature, marked with prominent and intel- ligent features, with a mind not less gigantic, gave him a commanding personal dignity, inspiring respect withont exciting awe, of which there are few examples. Ilis mind was profound rather than brilliant, and althongh slow in its operations it possessed great energy and strength, hnt a striking peculiar originality was its characteristic feature. In independence of character and unshaken firmness of purpose he has been surpassed by few, and such was the clearness and forco of truth on his mind, that he could never resort to any other means than fair argument and conviction to advance any canse he espoused. Always frank in his purposes, he was equally direct, in his means, despising chicanery and artifice, the constant resource of feehle minds.
Alexander Wolcott, more than any other individual, deserves to be considered as the father and founder of the Jeffersonian school of politics in this state. For many years he was regarded as tho leader of the Republican party in Connecticut. Ile was the Atlas against which the shafts of his political opponents were constantly directed, hut amidst all the rage of the political storm, ho remained unmoved, firm in his integrity, nnshaken in his purposes, nntiring in his efforts, until the wrath of his political enemies having spent itself in vain, was constrained to pay hom- age to his iuflexible integrity and stern Republican virtues. Such was Alexander Wolcott, the early, the enlightened and the faithful disciple of Jefferson, who drauk from the same fountain of political wisdom and labored in the same glorions cause-the cause of the rights of man -- the implanting deep in the public mind, the primary, elementary principles of Republicanism, with. ont which the forms of our constitution would be bnt feeble barriers against the inroads of power and constant tendencies to aristocracy to which all free institutions aro exposed,

Mr. Wolcott was a native of Windsor, the seat of the original family of that name, which has given three governors to Connecticut. For many years he was a representative of that town in the state legislature. He was appointed collector of customs for the port of Middletown, Ct., by Mr. Jefferson, and held the office uutil his death. In 1809 Mr. Madison nominated him to the senate for one of the judges of the supreme court of the United States, but through the influence of the senators from this and the other New England States opposed to him in polities, this nomioation was not confirmed hy the senate. The place was then tendered to John Quincy Adams, who declined to accept it, and was ultimately conferred on Joseph Story.
He was a delegate from Middletown to the convention of 1818, which formed and adopted the constitution. But the deliberations and conclusions of a majority of that body were not such as to commend themselves to the enlarged comprehension, the progressive republicau miud, and high expectations of Wolcott. The constitution as presented, he discovered as defective, as unjust as founded ou no basis of republicau equality, as avoiding in important particulars accountability and responsibility, as a mere embodiment of the charter of 1660, which though liberal in its day was not adapted to preseut circumstances and the changed condition of the country and times in 1818. He d. at Middletown, Ct., June 26, 1828."

CHAPMAN, Capt. SAMUEL,* of the 9th Connecticut company at Louisburg, in 1745-6, was a grandson of Edward Chapman, who was slain in the battle of Narragansett Fort, December, 1675. He was apparently a native of Wind- sor ; at any rate he came to Tolland from that town. He was a large land- holder, a justice of the peace, and, except the minister, was probably in higher standing than any other man in Tolland. His house was situated about half a mile east of the house occupied by Sidney Stanley, and con- tinued in the possession of his descendants until within a few years ; and, having always been kept in excellent repair, is still standing.
SAMUEL CHAPTAIN, Captain in 1758, eldest son of the preceding, was born in 1720, probably in Windsor, shortly before his father's removal to Tolland. He resided in the house mentioned above, until his death in 1803. Before and during the Revolution he was the leader in the truly patriotic town of Tolland. He was colonel of the 22d Regiment of Connecticut militia, during that struggle, and as such made several campaigns. He was at New York in 1776, with his entire regiment, diminished, however, by the many previous enlistments. On the evacuation of that city ; that " shameful day," as Marshall calls it, the conduct of Col. Chapman was deemed peculiarly honorable by those who had the opportunity to observe it. He was the most wealthy man and the greatest business man in Tolland ; he also owned seve- ral slaves. He was elected to the Assembly at forty-five annual elections (see State Records), and is recorded among those present at fifteen special sessions. He was also a justice of the peace for twenty- six years, continuing in office until he arrived at the age of seventy-seven. He also retained com- mand of the regiment until above seventy, the business on field days being performed by a sprightly adjutant. He was, in many respects, a remarkable man. In hardihood he was as if made of iron; in the army he not only endured, but seemed to thrive upon, the loathsome food which too often constituted the subsistence of the soldier; he never, in the coldest weather, wore any covering to his hands, and worked out of doors barefoot in March, when above eighty years old. One who, during the first twenty-eight years
# His name was Samuel, and not Daniel, as erroneously given in Trumbull's Hist. of Conn. These biographical notices of Chapmans are from the notes of our friend SIDNEY STANLEY, Esq., of Hartford, Ct.
