(III) Elisha, fifth son of John and Eliza- beth (Cooke) Doten, was born in Plymouth, July 13, 1686, and died there before 1756. He wrenched a living from a hard soil and harder sea. March 11, 17II, he was granted a house lot provided he build thereon during the year. In 1716 he united with his brothers Isaac, Samuel and Joseph in a deed to their sister Elizabeth, as they knew it was their father's intention to do before he died. The forename of his wife was Hannah. Children: Elisha, Samuel, Hannah (died young), Edward, Han- nah, Paul, Lois, Stephen (mentioned below) and James.

(IV) Stephen, fifth son of Elisha and Han- nah Doten, was born in Plymouth, January 24, 1726, and spent his life there. He married Anna, daughter of John and Sarah ( Cobb) Bartlett. She was born in Plymouth in 1727. He married (second) the widow Josie Don- ham. Children : Mary, Stephen, Sarala, Mercy, Hannah, Esther, Joseph, and John, whose sketch follows.

(V) John (2), youngest son of Stephen and Hannah ( Bartlett) Doten, was born in Plymouth, in 1766, and died in Sheffield, Mass- achusetts, in August, 1825. It was not till this generation that the Dotens drifted from the family altars and firesides of their forefathers. John went to Sheffield in 1814. He married.

Chandler, John, Bartlett (sketch below) and Caleb.

(VI) Bartlett, third son of John (2) and Faith ( Wright) Doten, was born in Plymouth, February 16, 1797, and died in Bridgeport, Connecticut, August 16, 1867. He was a mer- chant and manufacturer, residing in Sheffield and Bridgeport. He married, November 14, 1833. in Sheffield, Augusta, daughter of Col- onel Darius and Sarah ( Root) Mason. Chil- dren: Martha Ellen, Frederick Bartlett, sketch below; Edward Mason, who was cashier of the First National Bank, of Chicopee ; Charles A., educated at Yale, a lawyer and judge at Bridgeport.

(VII) Captain Frederick Bartlett Doten, eld- est son of Bartlett and Augusta ( Mason ) Doten, was born in Sheffield, Massachusetts, Decem- ber 9. 1841. and died in Chicopee, Massachu- setts, April 9. 1903. He was educated in the public schools of Sheffield and Bridgeport. As a young man he went to New York, where he took a position as clerk in a carriage manu- facturing concern. He remained there until the outbreak of the civil war, when he returned to Bridgeport and enlisted as a corporal in the Fourteenth Connecticut Regiment. For his bravery and excellent service he was promoted to first lieutenant, February 3, 1863, and to caj tain, October 20, 1863 ; and he served by detail on the staffs of General Hays and Gen- eral Barlow. He participated in various of the most bloody battles of the war. At the battle of Fredericksburg the state flag borne by his regiment was picked up by Captain Doten and Major Hicks, after the color bearer had been shot down. It remained in their keeping all day, and they brought it safely from the field at the close of the engagement. At Morton's Ford he was captured, and sent to Libby Prison. This was the most trying experience of all, but by his uncomplaining submission he won the respect of his keepers, and was consequently trusted beyond his other comrades. After three months he was ex- changed through the intervention of Secretary Mallory, of the Confederate cabinet, who knew his friends in Connecticut.

The war over, he returned to his okl Bridge- port home and settled down to the pursuits of peace as a matter of course, as if nothing extra- ordinary had happened. He never boasted of what he had done. He then returned to New York and entered the employment of Wood Brothers, carriage manufacturers. In 1871 he went to Chicopee and entered the firm of Jerome Wells & Co. About this time he took

the position of cashier of the First National Bank. He cared little for politics, less for office, and was in no sense a politician. He discharged his duties as a citizen at the polls. Twice he was induced to hold minor offices in the municipality-alderman and school com- mitteeman- and he brought to the discharge of these duties his varied business experience and uncompromising honesty. He was a con- sistent member of the Unitarian church; also a charter member of the Nayasset Club, and a companion of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, Massachusetts Commandery. He was a lover of music, and sang in the Unitarian choir, and was a member of the Orpheus Club, and a musical atmosphere pervaded the home circles. He was conservative in business affairs, and was frequently consulted by those in need of advice and his judgment was rarely wrong. He was intimately connected with the business growth and life of Chicopee and saw it grow to a large manufacturing city and he grew with it. Somewhat reticent of nature, he was at his best in his home, among those he loved.

A comrade-in-arms said of him at his death : "It is with a sad heart that I note in The Re- publican of the 10th, the news of the death of Captain Fred. B. Doten, of Chicopee. He was a fellow-officer with me in the old Fourteenth Connecticut Infantry during the civil war, and was one of the best and bravest of the remark- able and dashing young fellows who worked their way up from the ranks to a commission. Death got in its work very frequently in the ranks of the Fourteenth, and hence promo- tions were quick and recurring ; but in Captain Doten's case, at least, it was well deserved and acceptable to all concerned. At the battle of Morton's Ford. in 1864, when a staff officer of the old Second Corps, and engaged in carrying orders, I stopped for a chat with the old regi- ment. } especially noted his gallant bearing * and pleasant greeting. * Our ranks % are thinning fast of late years, but Fred Doten will be one of the most missed, for he was not only a brave and efficient soldier, but, in those days and since, ever and always a gentleman."

Captain Doten married, October 4, 1866, Georgiana 1., daughter of Jerome and Louise (Rice) Wells, of Chicopee (see Wells). Mrs. Doten is a member of the Unitarian church, and has served on the parish committee. She be- longs to the Cosmopolitan Club, a woman's club of Springfield ; the Chicopee Falls Woman's Club, and the Travelers' Club of Chicopee ; she has served on the committee on aids and char- ities of the Springfield Hospital. She is a

member of Mercy Warren Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, deriving member- ship therein through her ancestor, Lieutenant Seth Rice. Children of Captain and Mrs. Doten : I. Jerome Wells, born September 9, 1869, died December 14, 1905 : married (first) Mary Whiting Groce, of Roxbury, Massachu- setts ; (second) Bessie Henderson Taylor, of New York City. 2.

WELLS Wells is from Wellan, to spring

up as a fountain, or water. It is a place name in England. It also has a Norman stem in Val, Vals, Vaux and De Vollibus. Three sons of Harold De Vaux, a Norman baron, came over to England in 1120 and settled in Cumberland. One of these was named Robert, and his grandson Adams Vaux, in about 1194, holding the manor of Welles, took the name of DeWells. Bishop Hugo De Welles became one of the most important men in England. Advanced to the see of Lincoln as archdeacon and lord chancellor of the realm, his power became very great. He was chief of the Barons, and was instrumental in obtain- ing from King John, at Runnymede, in 1215, the Magna Charta, the bulwark of English liberties, prepared by his own hand. The family have had two United States senators, three congressmen, three governors of states, and one held a cabinet portfolio-the Hon. Gideon Welles. The Hon. Roscoe Conklin was a Welles descendant.

(I) Hugh Wells, of Essex county, England, born in 1590, came to America in 1635, in the ship "Globe." and landed at Boston. He re- moved to Connecticut in 1636, and his first stop was at Hartford, where he was one of the pioneers. He soon removed to Wethers- field, and was one of the founders of that town. He died there in 1645. He married his wife in England, and her name was Frances. After her husband's death she married Thomas Coleman, of Wethersfield, who was originally from Evesham, near Bath, England. They removed to Hadley, Massachusetts, where she lived the residue of her life and died in 1678. She bequeathed her property to her grandchil- dren, to her son John, and daughter Mrs. Gilbert. Her son-in-law, Jonathan Gilbert, ad- ministered. Children of Hugh Wells: Thomas (of whom later), Hugh, born 1625; Mary, 1626; John, 1628.

(II) Thomas, eldest son of Hugh and Fran- ces Welles, was born in Colchester, England, in 1620, and died in Hadley, Massachusetts, 1676. He was taken to America as a mere child in 1635, and thence to Wethersfield, Con- necticut. His name was on the agreement of the "withdrawers," who went with Parson Rus- sell to Caponoke Meadow, afterward called Norwoottucke, now Northampton, on account of a religious schism in Wethersfield, October 8. 1660, and was one of the twenty-eight "en- gagers" to sign the engagement to become an inhabitant of the new settlement on the Con- necticut. He was made a freeman March 26, 1661. His lot was number eight from the river, between Samuel Porter and John Hub- bard. His lot in Hockanum meadow was num- ber forty-five, of six acres. In 1663 he was on a petition to the general court for an en- largement of the township. February, 1668, Thomas signed a petition directed to the gen- eral court to revoke the duties on imported goods and merchandise which the general court had imposed. This was perhaps the first free trade propaganda in the United States.

"This morning was received sad intelligence from Hadley ; that upon Saturday last, Captain Lothrop with about sixty men, being appointed to conduct from Deerfield to Hadley with carriages and cattle, they were surprised by abundance of Indians that lay in ambushment and received a dreadful blow ; insomuch that above forty of Captain Lothrop's men with himself were slain. Captain Mosely being not far off, engaged with the Indians and fought several hours and lost eleven men ; others also were slain that belonged to the carriages (carts) so that the next day they buried sixty-four men in all. The Indians were judged to be near five hundred."

Thomas was in this engagement at Muddy Brook, and received wounds there. He owned land in Hadley, Wethersfield, also England. His will was dated September 30, 1676, proved December 19, 1676. The inventory was seven hundred and thirty-two pounds. He married Mary, daughter of William Beardsley, of Eng- land. She was born in 1631, and at the time of the marriage was of Wethersfield. She married after her husband's death, Samuel Bel ling, of Hatfield, and she died there in 1690. Children of Thomas Welles: Thomas, born January 10, 1652; Mary, October 1, 1653 (died) ; Sarah, May 5, 1655 ; John, January 14, 1657 (died) ; Jonathan, in 1659: John, April 3. 1660; Samuel, 1662; Mary, September 8,

(III) Ebenezer, eleventh and twin child of the fourteen children of Thomas and Mary (Beardsley) Welles, was born in Hadley, July 4, 1668, and died in Hatfield, Massachusetts. He had a grant of twenty-eight acres on Green river on condition that he occupy it. He drew lot number twenty-two, south of Fort river, in the general division of land at Hadley. Home lots were laid out according to one's estate, a pound drew forty-six rods of land. The eleva- tions were selected for houses such as Chileab's Hill, Cold Hill and Sandy Hill. Their fuel ground was at the growth at Falls Woods Field, called so because it was a wood lot near the falls. He married Mary, daughter of Sergeant Benjamin Waite, of Hatfield; (second) Au- gust 15, 1705, Sarah, daughter of Samuel Smith, widow of John Lawrence.

This was given to his son Abner. He sold to Oliver Cooley, in 1819, and Cooley to Gould in 1827. Gould sold to Henry W. Clapp in 1834, and he to Arthur D. Potter. He was scaler of weights and measures. Sixteen aeres was laid out to him as his "pitch," number ninety. August 25, 1725, he was with a party surprised by a band of Indians in ambush near Green river. One Indian was killed and one of the whites wounded. An army of two hundred and eighty men was raised in the Connecticut valley towns (VII) Patrick, eldest child of Obed and Caroline (Grinnell) Wells, was born in Green- field, December 17, 1779, and died in Burling- ton, New York, 1839.

years he was a clerk in his uncle's store. In 1835 he removed to Chicopee and engaged in the dry goods trade with Moses Younglove. In 1854, upon the establishment of the old Cabot Bank (later the First National Bank of Chicopee), he was elected president, and re- mained in that office till 1880. He was a director in and president of the Cabot Bank, chartered January, 1845, succeeding John Wells in 1854. He was a stockholder and director in the Gay- lord Manufacturing Company. He was elected a representative from Chicopee to the legisla- ture in 1869, and was chairman of the com- mittee on banks and banking. His practical knowledge of business affairs and of banking was of great value to his associates, and no legislative measure received his approval until it had been carefully looked into and found in his judgment to be in the best interests of the majority of the people of the commonwealth. His own little city found in him a persistent and conscientious advocate of its interests at the state capitol. From conversing with those who knew Mr. Wells, we learn that he was a kind and obliging neighbor, a friend to the friendless, that his business acumen was of a high order, and that in his family relations he was kind and indulgent.

He married Louise C., daughter of William Rice, of Northboro, Massachusetts, who was from Edmund Rice. One child crowned the union -- Georgiana L., married Captain Fred- erick B. Doten (see Doten, above).

Samuel Webb, immigrant ancestor, WEBB was born in Redriff, near London, England. December 25, 1696, son of Captain Samuel Webb, who was in the ser- vice under the reign of Queen Anne, and who was lost at sea in 1706. Samuel was left an orphan, his mother having died in 1704, two years before his father, and he was bound out to learn his trade. His master or guardian did not allow as much liberty as he desired, and in 1713 he ran away, taking passage on a ship for America. Where he went first on reaching this country is uncertain. It is likely that he followed the sea for a time. In an account of him written by his grandson, Seth Webb, it is stated that he landed in Rhode Island, and was taken into the family of Mr. McIntyre, a black- smith of Tiverton, and there learned the trade. While his name is not found in the town rec- ords of Tiverton, there is no reason why it should be there, for he was a minor. The town records contain only records of birth, marriage, death, elections to public office, etc. The first

public record of him is in Braintree and Wey- mouth, giving his marriage, September 13, 1721, to Susanna Randall, born in Weymouth, Janu- ary 14, 1702-3, died there December 22, 1724, daughter of John and Susanna ( Porter) Ran- dall. He married (second) August II, 1725, Bethiah ( Farrow) Spear, born at Hingham, November 29, 1704, died at Little Isle of Holt, Maine, November 30, 1770, daughter of John and Persis ( Holbrook) Farrow, of Hingham, and widow of David Spear, of Braintree. These marriages were performed by Rev. Ne- hemiah Hobart, of the Cohasset parish, and are recorded in the Weymouth town records.

Samuel Webb may have been distantly re- lated to the other Webbs of Braintree and Weymouth. It is a curious coincidence that he should choose for his residence on leaving Rhode Island the same town in which Richard Webb settled as early as 1640, and but a mile or so from the home of Christopher Webb, of Braintree. But a thorough search shows that he was not a direct descendant of any of the pioneers of this name. There is no reason to doubt the family record of his birth in Eng- land. About 1730 Webb moved away from Wey- mouth, leaving his sons Samuel and Thomas with their grandfather John Randall, who was chosen guardian for the son Samuel, March 14, 1736. The history of Deer Isle states that he once lived in the vicinity of Salem, Massachu- setts. He was in that part of Falmouth, now Westbrook, in 1740. The "History of Gor- ham" states that he was in Boston in 1744, moved to what is now Windham, in 1745. and settled on home lot, No. 23. He was chosen a blacksmith there, and the first schoolmaster. He served as a schoolmaster in the Indian wars of 1747-8 and in 1757. He probably moved to North Yarmouth about 1760, and about 1764 to Little Isle of Holt. After the death of one of his sons in 1784, he moved to Deer Isle, where he died February 15, 1785. In the bury- ing ground of North Weymouth is a large granite monument erected by his descendants over the spot where his first wife lies buried, and upon which is the inscription: "Samuel Webb, son of Samuel Webb, was born in Lon- don, England, 1696. Died in Deer Isle, Maine, February 15, 1785." Other family names are inscribed thereon, including that of his first wife. He and his second wife are buried in the old graveyard at Deer Isle. Children of first wife : I. Samuel, born July 31, 1722 ; mentioned below. 2. Thomas, born December 21, 1723, died January 31, 1724. 3. Thomas, born De- cember 1, 1724. Children of second wife: 4.

(II) Samuel (2), son of Samuel (I) Webb, was born July 31, 1722, and died at the North Parish of Weymouth, November 6, 1809. In 1736, when his father left Weymouth, young Samuel was placed in charge of his grand- father, Samuel Randall. who was legally ap- pointed his guardian. He became a highly respected and honored citizen of Weymouth, and was deacon of the first church there.

(IV) Christopher Columbus, son of Samuel (3) Webb, was born at Weymouth, July 12, 1780 ; died July 4, 1831, at Weymouth. He lived in a house built by himself. He graduated from Brown University in 1803. He was ad- mitted to the bar, opened his office in Wey- mouth, and became one of the leaders of the bar in Norfolk county. He was elected to many offices of trust and honor in his native town ; was selectman a number of years, and served his district in the general court for twenty-seven years-a striking evidence of his popularity and value as a citizen. He was a strong and able legislator, and one of the best known men of the state in his later years. He was interested in town affairs and in all public questions, especially in school matters, being for many years on the board, and took an active

part in starting a high school. He was a lead- ing and influential Republican in politics. In religion he was a Congregationalist, and for many years deacon of the Weymouth Congre- gational church. Of strong and vigorous intel- lect, of sterling character, strict integrity and attractive personality, he was for many years the foremost citizen of the town, enjoying to the fullest extent the confidence and esteem of his townsmen. He was a partner in the firm of Whitcomb, Porter & Webb, lumber dealers. He was keenly interested in the history of his native town and state, and gathered much valuable historical data .. He married, Novem- ber 13, 1817, Susanna, daughter of Major John and Nancy ( Babcock) White (see White). Children : 1. Susan. 2. Mary H. Torrey, mar- ried L. Gelett Merrill, of Portland, Maine. 3.

(V) Samuel (4), son of Christopher Colum- bus Webb, was born in Weymouth, in 1822, and died there in 1898. He attended the public schools of his native town and when about fifteen entered upon a mercantile career as bookkeeper in the boot and shoe establishment of Eliphalet Merrill. Later he attended Ober- lin College, after which he returned to Balti- more and was with Mr. Potter in the crockery business, and later started in business for him- self in the same city. When the gold fever broke out in 1849 he went to California with his brother Christopher, in a company of forty men from New Orleans. Not satisfied with the mode of travel of the party, however, they separated from it and continued on their way alone by the difficult and dangerous land route. After following the mining business a few years Samuel opened a flour mill, in connec- tion with a grain, feed and provision store in San Francisco, California, this being the first business of its kind in that town. His wife joined him, going by way of Cape Horn in the long but safer journey by water, taking seven months to make the voyage. Like many others, however, he preferred to live in his native state, and in 1859 returned with his family. He engaged in business in Weymouth and also in Washington, D. C., whither he often went in connection with his business. He was a Republican in politics. He was always inter- ested in the welfare of his native town, and never neglected an opportunity to advance its welfare. He was a prominent member of the
