When a young man he removed to Connecticut, residing in Plainfield, and also in Hartford, but eventu- ally returned to his native state and died in Providence, January 7, 1886. In early life he united with the Baptist church in Warwick, of which he was a deacon a number of years, and he was similarly connected with the Friend- ship Street Baptist Church in Providence and the South Baptist Church in Hartford. He was also active in philanthropic work, having la- bored diligently in behalf of the Hartford Home for Boys, of which he was for years the superintendent and he evinced a profound in- terest in various other objects of charity and benevolence. He married, July 4. 1830, Mrs. Sarah Carpenter Johnson (nee Weaver), widow of Clarence Lindsley Johnson, of Cov- entry, Rhode Island. She was born in Scitu- ate, Rhode Island, March 2, 1805, daughter of Silas Weaver, and died in Southington, Connecticut, November 26, 1893. Silas Weaver, born in Coventry, April 12, 1775. died at Scituate, October 10, 1830, married, November 15, 1795, Dinah Stone, born in Scituate, May 1, 1778; died in Providence, April 25. 1836.

(III) Captain Joseph Langford, fourth son and fifth child of Deacon Joseph L. and Sarah C. (Weaver-Johnson) Bennett, was born in Plainfield, Connecticut, June 27, 1838. He was educated in the public schools, and at the age of eighteen years entered the merchant marine service at New London, Connecticut, making his first voyage from that port via Cape Horn to Honolulu in one hundred and eighty days. His advancement was rapid, and he became a shipmaster in the unusually short space of three years, but after attaining that position he abandoned the sea. At Lincoln's first call for troops in 1861 he enlisted as pri- vate in a three months' Rhode Island regiment ( First Regiment, Rhode Island Detached Mili- tia ), and at the expiration of his term of service re-enlisted in the Tenth Regiment, Rhode Island Volunteers. He subsequently received a lieu- tenant's commission, and was mustered out at the close of the war with the rank of brevet captain for efficient and meritorious service. After the war Captain Bennett was appointed assistant adjutant-general of Connecticut, and served in that capacity under three consecu- tive administrations-those of Governors Hawley, English and Jewell. He was after- ward engaged in mercantile pursuits, which he relinquished to enter the federal civil service ; was for many years connected with the Hart- ford (Connecticut) stamped envelope agency, and later with the Hartford post-office. He was next appointed chief clerk of the patent office at Washington, which position he finally resigned. After retiring from the public serv- ice he established himself as a patent attorney at the national capital. He died in Washing- ton, March 11, 1898, and was buried in the national cemetery at Arlington Heights. In politics he acted with the Republican party. He was a comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a member of the Baptist Church. November 29, 1866, Captain Bennett married, in Providence, Rhode Island, Carrie, daughter of Colonel William and Emma C. (Williams- Brannigan) Ross. (See Ross.) Children : I. Maud Ingersoll, born in Hartford, August 28, 1868; married Addison L. Green (q. v.) of

Holyoke, Massachusetts, December 10, 1890; died in that city, June 17, 1901, leaving four children : Addison Bennett, Donald Ross, Con- stance, and David Loomis. 2. Fred Fox, see forward.
(IV) Fred Fox, younger child and only son of Captain Joseph L. and Carrie (Ross) Ben- nett, was born in Hartford, Connecticut, Feb- ruary 24, 1870. His early education was ac- quired in the public schools of Hartford, and after leaving the high school he was for three years in the banking business. He then en- tered Yale College with the class of 1896. After graduation he became a law student in the office of Addison L. Green, at Holyoke, Massachusetts. In December, 1897, he was admitted to the Hampden county bar. He has since been engaged in the general practice of law, and is a member of the firm of Green & Bennett, having offices in Holyoke and Spring- field, Massachusetts. In politics Mr. Bennett is a Republican, and in 1902-03 was a rep- resentative to the general court. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and the Delta Kappa Epsilon (college) fraternities, affili- ates with the Knights of Pythias, and is a vestryman of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, Holyoke. November 10, 1903, Mr. Bennett was united in marriage with Miss Alice Elizabeth Whiting, born in Holyoke, Oc- tober 27, 1877, daughter of Edward G. and Hannah A. (Higginbottom) Whiting. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett have had two children: I. Frederick Whiting, born August 31, 1904; died September 21, 1904. 2. Alice Ross, born March 7, 1908.
The immigrant ancestor of the Whiting family was William Whiting, who arrived in New England from the mother country about 1633, and settled at Hartford, Connecticut, in 1637. He was a merchant, having a trad- ing house at Westfield, Massachusetts, and others on the Delaware river, which he visited frequently. He was a member of the first (Connecticut) house of representatives in 1641 ; subsequently served as an assistant, and was treasurer of the colony from 1643 until his death, which occurred in 1647. In the records he is called "major." The Christian name of his wife, whom he married in Eng- land, was Susanna, and their two son, William and John, were probably born there. In 1650 his widow married Samuel Fitch, of Hartford, whom she also survived, and married for her third husband, Alexander Bryan, of Milford. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Mary Collins, in Middletown, Connecticut, July 8, 1703.
Daniel Whiting, Mrs. Bennett's great-grand- father, was born in Abington, Connecticut, Jan- uary I, 1778. He resided in Willington, same state, and married Elizabeth Potter, born in that town June 6, 1778. Their son William B., Mrs. Bennett's grandfather, was born in Willington, February 14, 1817, settled in Holy- oke, Massachusetts, and became a prominent wood and coal dealer. April 2, 1840, he mar- ried, in Dudley, Massachusetts, Miss Elizabeth Murphy, of New York, born January 1, 1818, died January 21, 1878. She bore him children : i. William; ii. Elvira F .; iii. Albert Whitfield, accidentally drowned at age of six years; iv. Ellen M., married P. A. Underwood, of Bos- ton : v .- vi. Edward G. and Edwin A. (twins), last named of whom died at Pomona, Califor- nia, in 1886; vii. Mary Elizabeth; viii. Frank Albert ; ix. Charles Henry; x. Harriet N ; xi. George.
Edward G. Whiting, Mrs. Bennett's father, who became associated in business with his father, married, December 9, 1874, Hannah Amelia Higginbottom, daughter of Allen Hig- ginbottom, and granddaughter of Samuel Hig- ginbottom. The senior Higginbottom, who was born in England, in 1796, married Hannah Lee, who was born in 1794. He was a cot- ton manufacturer, and came to the United States with his family in 1842. They had children: Samuel; Elizabeth; Allen, died young ; Allen; Hannah; Ann. Allen Hig- ginbottom was born in Oldham, Lancashire, England, January 15, 1826, and died at Holy- oke, March 12, 1897. He accompanied his parents to America when sixteen years old. He settled in Holyoke, and was for many years in the mercantile business in that city. He married Lavinia Worswick, of New Bruns- wick, New Jersey, but a native of England, born June 3, 1824, died July 28, 1882, and had children : i.

(The Ross Line).
The surname Ross has long been famous in Scotland, both for its antiquity and the nu- merous celebrities who have borne it. The several distinct American families of this name, all of Scotch descent, were established on this side of the ocean during the colonial period. The earliest immigrants of the name were Daniel and Ezra, who were in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1648. James Ross, of Sud- bury, Massachusetts, served in King Philip's war (1675-76). Owing to the fact that the Rosses as a whole have received but little at- tention at the hands of genealogists, the rec- ords of the different families have never been collected and brought together. It is quite probable that the Rosses mentioned in this article sprung from an old Boston family.
(I) William Ross and his wife Eliza were residents of Boston in the latter part of the seventeenth century, and traces of them are to be found in the colonial records.
(II) William (2), son of William (I) and Eliza Ross, was born in Boston, in 1708.
(III) James, probably a son of William (2) Ross, resided in Harvard, Massachusetts. The baptismal name of his wife was Rosanna, and the records of Harvard contain the birth of their two sons : John, July 5, 1776; William, born three years later. James Ross appears to have been a seafaring man, and is said to have died in Boston Harbor from the effects of severe exposure suffered in a shipwreck. Rosanna, his wife, died in Harvard, in 1795.
(IV) William, youngest son of James and Rosanna Ross, was born in Harvard, July 9, 1779. He was a mariner, and his certificate of description as an American citizen is still in existence. He married at Charlestown, Massachusetts, March 8, 1806, Nancy Holman, who died in Boston, December 31, 1821. They are known to have had three sons : Elisha Nor- cross, who disappeared from his home when a young man, and never returned; George ; William.
(V) Colonel William Ross, son of William and Nancy ( Holman) Ross, was born in Bos- ton, July 25, 1811 ; died in Providence, Rhode Island, February 22, 1879, and is buried in Grace Church Cemetery. His educational op- portunities were limited, but his natural abil- ity and keen intelligence enabled him to over-
come this deficiency, and he became a highly cultured and sagacious man of affairs. Set- tling in Providence at a time when progressive ideas concerning public utilities were begin- ning to assume tangible form, he immediately identified himself with various problems rela- tive to internal development, and through his instrumentality several important public en- terprises were carried into successful opera- tion. Among the chief problems of that period, and one in which the entire public as well as the merchants in particular were deeply interested, was the absolute necessity for im- proved transportation facilities between the principal centers of trade, and in this im- portant movement Colonel Ross attained his most notable achievements. His initial step in this direction was the establishment of the first pony express between Boston and Provi- dence, an enterprise which was destined to become the nucleus of the present Adams Ex- press Company, and with the advent of rail- ways he turned his attention enthusiastically to their introduction. He was one of the prin- cipal promoters and organizers of the Boston & Providence railroad, and not only figured prominently in constructing the line but served as its first superintendent and acted as con- ductor of the first train to run between the two cities. His progressive ideas were still further displayed by his active participation in the establishment of a line of steamboats for passengers and freight between Providence and New York. One of these boats, the "Lexington," was burned in Narragansett Bay, in 1840, and in this disaster forty lives were sacrificed. Although constantly occupied with important business affairs, he availed himself of every opportunity for healthy amusement, especially of an intellectual character, and his musical tastes were highly artistic. When the famous Swedish prima donna Jenny Lind came to the United States under the management of the late P. T. Barnum, he assisted in inducing her to appear in Providence. Choices of seats for the concert were sold at auction, and Colonel Ross's bid of five hundred and thirty- seven dollars secured for him the first choice. Colonel Ross married, October 20, 1839, Emma Caroline, daughter of Frances Reeves and Emma ( Williams) Brannigan, the former of whom is said to have been the first Irish Protestant to settle in Salem, Massachusetts. Emma Williams, born in Salem, died in Bos- ton, was a daughter of John Williams, a na- tive of Wales, who married Mary Webb, of Salem, and died in that town in 1837. Chil-
