(VII) Charles Edwards, son of John (4) and Martha (Dickinson) Barrett, born North- field, Massachusetts, January 4, 1804, died Portland, Maine, January 2, 1894, aged ninety years. At the age of twelve, his parents hav- ing died, he was taken by his guardian to Portland, Maine, where he fitted for college. Graduating from Bowdoin in 1822. and sub- sequently reading law, he was admitted to the bar and practiced for a short time. But his forte was finance, and he gradually became known as one of the most eminent financiers of his day. He was president of the Canal National Bank for many years and treasurer of the Atlantic & St. Lawrence railroad, being one of the original corporators named in the charter and the survivor of all the others. Many of the best years of his life were de- voted to the affairs of this road. He was also a director of the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth road, now a part of the Boston & Maine, for many years, becoming interested in the road in 1839, when it was in process of construc- tion. He was likewise active in the councils of the corporation which built the canal to Sebago Lake. In politics he was a Federalist, then a Whig, and lastly a Republican. Though not an aspirant to office, he served for a while on the board of aldermen of Portland. Had
he lived two days longer he would have reached the ninetieth anniversary of his birth. He was married March 6, 1826, by Rev. Ed- ward Payson, to Elizabeth Mary Baker, born Portland, November 11, 1804, died Portland, December 27, 1875. She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth ( Bickford) (Hale) Baker (see Baker VI). The children of this marriage were: Charles Woodbury, Mary Elizabeth, John Henry, Franklin Ripley, George Potter and Joseph Baker. I. Charles W., born 1826, married Hannah V. W. West- brook and they had three children: i. Mary, who marriel Henry A. Mariotte and had two children, Charlotte and Gertrude; ii. Charles W., who died May 7, 1866; iii. Elizabeth, married Alexander E. Macdonald, M. D., and had two children, Charles Douglas and Evelyn Blunt. 2. Mary E., born April 29, 1829. died a spinster, May 16, 1904. 3.

Joseph B., born 1840, died in infancy.
son (VIII) Franklin Ripley, third s of Charles E. and Elizabeth M. ( Baker) Barrett, was born in Portland, January 21, 1835. After attending the public schools and the old acad- emy of Portland, he entered Brown Univer- sity, from which he graduated with the class of 1857. His first employment after gradua- tion was in the office of the treasurer of the Grand Trunk railroad, from which he subse- quently went into partnership with F. K. Swan under the firm name of Swan & Barrett. They engaged in banking and brokerage, which they carried on from 1875 to 1897, when both partners retired from business. Mr. Barrett's only employment since has been in connection with certain financial corporations as trustee and director. His position in the financial circles in Portland has been con- spicuous and as successful as it has been prominent. In 1891 he was president of the Portland Savings Bank, the largest institution of its kind in the state and the eighth in rank in New England. At the present time he is a trustee of the Portland Trust Company, and a director of the Canal National Bank, each an important monetary institution. For years he was a director of the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth Railroad Company, succeeding his father. He is a trustee of the Portland Public Library and a member of the New England Historical Genealogical Society, the Maine Historical Society, and the Maine Gene- alogical Society. He was also for some time

secretary and treasurer of the Maine General Hospital and treasurer of the Portland Society of Natural History. Mr. Barrett is also a member of the following organizations: The Cumberland and the Country clubs of Port- land, the University of New York City, and the Union of Boston. In politics he is an Independent, in religious faith a Unitarian.

(Dwight) Boyd; (second) Lucia Wadsworth Longfellow, born Portland, December 4, 1859, daughter of A. W. and Elizabeth (Porter) Longfellow, and niece of the poet, Henry W. Longfellow (see Long- fellow ).
BAKER Second to no other trade in im- portance to the human family is that of the baker; and from the trade which from the dawn of civilization has given employment to a multitude of laborers, continuously, comes the surname which has been the appellation of some of the most prominent and useful men among the English speaking people. The Baker family of this sketch came early and the qualities of the early Bakers are still prominent among their descendants.
(I) Edward Baker was of Lynn, Massa- chusetts, in 1630, and was a farmer. March 14, 1638, he was made a freeman. He re- moved to Northampton about 1650, and sub- sequently to Lynn and there died, March, 1687. His will was dated October 6, 1685.

He married Persis Brigham, who was born July 10, 1703. Her grandfather, Thomas Brigham, of Watertown and Cambridge, embarked in the "Susan and Ellen" April 18, 1625, was a freeman 1629, and selectman. His will dated 17, 10, 1654, was probated 25, II, 1654. He married, about 1637, Mercy Hurd, who survived him. She married ( second) Edmund Rice, and (third) William Hunt, and died at Marlboro, December 23, 1693. Samuel Brig- ham, father of Persis, removed from Sudbury to Marlborough, where he was town treas- urer 1699-1703, and selectman 1723. He was born January 12, 1653, died July 24, 1713. He married Elizabeth Howe, of Marlborough. She was born April 5, 1665, died July 26, 1739, daughter of Abraham and Hannah (Ward) Howe. Abraham Howe, of Marl- borough, 1660, was probably first of Roxbury. He died June 30, 1695. He married, March 26, 1658, Hannah Ward, born about 1639, died November 3, 1717 or 1718. They had eleven children. The children of Edward and Persis were: Samuel. Solomon, Persis, Abigail, Hepsibah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Lavinia, Ezra and Mary.
(IV) Joseph, third son of Edward (3) and Persis (Brigham) Baker, born Westborough, Massachusetts, May 19, 1736 ( ?), died Lim- erick, Maine, November 19, 1811, aged sev- enty-five.

Elijah Kel- logg, to Mrs. Elizabeth Hale, formerly Eliza- beth Bickford, of Salem, Massachusetts. She was born about 1767, and died April 14, 1819, aged fifty-two. Bradstreet Hale, of Glou- cester, and "Betsy" Bickford, of Salem, were married November 30, 1792. The children of Joseph and Elizabeth were: Elizabeth Mary and Joseph Danforth. Elizabeth Bickford was descended as follows: (1) John Bickford, of Salem, married, about May, 1699, Rebecca Pinson, and they had George, John, Rebecca, William, Bethiah, Benjamin, Ebenezer, Pris- cilla, Mary and Sarah.

CONANT Few families in this country can trace a longer authenti- cated line than the Conants, for it extends two generations beyond Roger, the immigrant ancestor who landed on Ameri-
can shores in 1623. The name appears to be primarily of Celtic derivation, and in its early form of Conan, or Conon, is found among various races of Celtic origin, including the Britons, Welsh, Irish, Gaels and Bretons. Etymological research indicates that the word is the equivalent of the Welsh cun, Irish cean, Saxon cuning, German konig, Dutch koning, Swedish konung and the Oriental khan-all meaning head, chief, leader or king. Whether the family came from the Breton or Cornish branch of the Celtic race it is impossible to say. At all events, they were settled in Dev- onshire as early as the beginning of the four- teenth century. In England thirty-two ways of writing the name have been found, and there are nine others in America, making forty-one in all. Some of the American forms, which in- clude nine also used in England, are: Con- nant, Cannant, Connont, Connott, Connanght, Connunght, Connaught, Conet, Connet, Con- nentt, Conat, Cunnet, Cunnant, Conit, Connit, and Connitt. In Devonshire, the old home of the family, though the name is written Conant, the common pronunciation is Connet or Cun- net. The earliest example of the name with the final t yet found, occurs in the Patent Rolls of England in the year 1277 when there was litigation between Robert Couenannt and Filota, late wife of Richard Couenaunt, touching a tenement in Alveton, Staffordshire. Four years later, a Robert Conet was a tenant of the manor of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. In the year 1327 Alexander Conaunt was living in the Hundred of Exminster, Devonshire.
(I) John Conant, with whom the authentic genealogy of the family begins, lived in the parish of East Budleigh, England, but was probably born about the year 1520, at Gittis- ham, some ten or twelve miles northeast of Budleigh. In the thirteenth year of Queen Elizabeth (1571), he was assessed for goods of the yearly value of four pounds. In 1577 John Conant and Edmond ffowler held the office of church-warden at East Budleigh, a post of considerable importance in those days. John Conant was buried at East Budleigh, March 30, 1596. The marriage registers of this parish lack the names of women down to 1605, so it is not possible to tell whom John Conant married, and the only child recorded is Richard, next mentioned.
(II) Richard, son of John and Co- nant, was probably born in the parish of East Budleigh about the year 1548. In 1606 Rich- ard Conant and Henry Cowden were church- wardens of the parish, and in 1616 Richard Conant again filled the office. In 1630 he was
247

rated at two shillings sixpence, next to the highest rating in the parish. It is interesting to remember that Sir Walter Raleigh was born at Hays House in East Budleigh, and his father was one of the church-wardens in 1561. Sir Francis Drake was also connected with the parish, and the tales of these two explorers must have had an important influ- ence in leading two of the sons of Richard Conant to embark for the new world. The marriage of Richard Conant took place at Colyton, a market town of Devonshire, eight miles from East Budleigh. The quaint record reads : "Rychard Counnett, the sonne of John Counnett, of Easte Budleye, was wedded unto Agnes Clarke, the daughtr of John Clarke, senior, of Collyton, the iiij daye of ffebruary, 1578." Agnes Clarke was born May 16, 1548, and her mother was Anne, daughter of Will- iam Macye, of Colyton. After a married life of nearly fifty years, Richard and Agnes Co- nant were buried the same day, September 22. 1630, and both are spoken of as persons of "exemplary piety."
The inventory of the estate, which amounted to one hundred and twenty-nine pounds four- teen shillings and four pence, contains some interesting items as showing how an English cottage was arranged in those days. In the Hall, among other things, were "one long. tableborde, I square tableborde, 2 formes, 3 chairs and 6 joynt stools." The "new parlour" contained a feather bed, "2 feather boulsters, I yard of Blankett and coverlett," while the "old parlour" was rich in "I standing bedsted and I trundle bedsted."
