BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HON. SAMUEL L. CROCKER.
Samuel Leonard Crocker was born in Taunton, Mass., on March 31, 1804. He is the second son of William Augustus Crocker, who was the second son of Josiah, the eldest son of Rev. Josiah Crocker, the sixtlı minister of Taunton, and successor of Hooke, Street, Shove, Danforth, and Clapp. The mother of Mr. Crocker was Sally, daughter of Capt. Jonathan Ingell, who, as a widow, was the first wife of Charles Richmond, the partner of Samuel Crocker, of the well-known business firm of Crocker & Richmond. The grandmother of Mr. Crocker, on his father's side, was Abigail, daughter of Hon. Zephaniah Leonard, judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and grandson of James Leonard, who was concerned in the early Taunton Iron-Works.
At an early age the subject of this sketch was put to school with Rev. Edward Richmond, of Stough- ton, and Rev. Pitt Clark, of Norton, finishing his course of preparation for college in the Bristol Acad- emy at Taunton, when Mr. Simeon Daggett was prin- cipal. With his elder brother, William, he entered Brown University in 1818, under the presidency of Rev. Dr. Messer, and graduated in 1822, at the age of eighteen.
from their ancestry on both sides a business turn of mind, the sons, two years after their graduation, de- termined on starting copper-works at Norton. This was in 1824, although their aet of incorporation as the Taunton Copper Manufacturing Company was not obtained till 1826. A younger brother, George Augustus, was associated with them as a member of the firm.
The business in Norton had a steady growth, which led to the enlargement of the works, creating a branch of them at the Weir in Taunton in 1845. Mr. Samuel L. Crocker has always been the active man- ager of this large business, which consists in smelt- ing and the manufacture of copper and yellow metal. - These works are not only among the oldest, but the largest and most prosperous in the country, and their success is due in a great measure to the skill and careful oversight of Mr. Samuel L. Crocker.
He associated himself with others in starting the Taunton Locomotive-Works, of which he is president, and the Old Colony Iron Company, of which he.has always been a director, and for many years president, and who have built up a large business in East Taun- ton, a rolling-mill and shops for the manufacture of shovels, nails, etc.
The railroad interests of Taunton have not been overlooked by Mr. Crocker. He was interested in securing the Taunton Branch Railroad in 1835, the

ton, Providence, and New York ; and the accommo- dations of the Old Colony Railroad, connecting Taun- ton with Fall River, New Bedford, Cape Cod, the South Shore, as well as with New York and Boston, were brought about very much through the wise man- agement of Mr. Crocker, one of its directors.
