Selden Connor, son of William and Mary (Bryant) Connor, was born in Fairfield, Somerset county, Maine, January 25, 1839. The father of William was brought to this country when a small boy by his father, who was master of a vessel, and who left him with a family at Bath, Maine, went to sea, and was never heard of afterwards. Owing to the youth of the son, only this meagre record was handed down to the family, and no attempt could be made to trace Captain Connor's an- cestry. His son died in Bath in 1842. His great-grandson, Selden, was educated at St. Albans Academy, Hartland, Maine; West- brook Seminary, Westbrook, and was gradu- ated from Tufts College in 1859 (LL. D. in 1877). He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. Soon after his graduation he began the study of law in the office of Washburn & Marsh, of Woodstock, Vermont, but in 1861 his studies were interrupted by the first call of President Lincoln for voltin- teers, and he laid down his law-books to take up arms in his country's cause. He was one of the youngest to win high rank early in the civil war, and it is well known that his pro- motions were due to his active, intelligent service and in recognition of disabilities re- ceived in the line of duty. His military record, a matter of justifiable pride to all citizens of the state of Maine, is as follows: Enlisted as private, First Vermont Volunteers, 1861. On expiration of enlistment returned to Maine and was lieutenant-colonel of the noteworthy Sev- enth Regiment of Maine Infantry, and went with his regiment through all the battles of the peninsula campaign under General McClellan from Williamsburg to Malvern Hill. In 1863
he was commissioned colonel of the Nineteenth Maine Regiment Volunteers, and as senior colonel was acting commander of the brigade to which it was assigned, attached to the sec- ond division of the Second Army Corps under General Winfield Scott Hancock. After the reorganization of the army of the Potomac, under General Grant, in the battle of the Wil- derness, May 6, 1864, Colonel Connor received a serious wound in the thigh, a bullet shatter- ing the bones. For a time his life was in danger and he suffered great agony for more than a year, lying on his back at the hospitals in Fredericksburg and Washington. In June, 1864, President Lincoln, in recognition of his eminent services and conspicuous valor, ap- pointed him brigadier-general. After the heal- ing of his wound, General Connor returned to his Fairfield home, August, 1865, but his health remained shattered for several years. In 1868 he was appointed United States assessor of in- ternal revenue for the Third Division of Maine, which office he held until its abolishment two years later. In 1870 all the districts were con- solidated under one head, and General Connor was appointed collector for the state, in which position he remained until 1875, when he re- signed, to accept the nomination for governor. His election followed in September, and his popularity was such he was twice re-elected to this highly responsible position. In 1882 General Connor received from President Ar- thur the appointment as United States pension agent for the state, and for several years held the office, till he resigned to enter business. In 1893 he was elected adjutant-general, and served as such under the administration of Governor Henry B. Cleaves, his military ex- periences making him a model officer. In 1897 he was again appointed United States pension agent, with headquarters at Augusta, Maine. General Connor commands the ad- miration and respect of all who are acquainted with his history. He is of strikingly com- manding appearance, over six feet in height, with regular features and iron-gray hair. Gen- eral Connor was married in Washington, D. C., October 20. 1869, to Henrietta W. B. Bailey. Their children are Mabel and Rosa- mond.
The name of Wallace was WALLACE one of the most numerous among the immigrants to this country during the first half of the seven- teenth century. George came from London in 1635, and settled at Rumney Marsh, now Chelsea, Massachusetts. Robert was in Ips-

wich, Massachusetts, in 1638, and William in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1642. James Wallace came somewhat later to Warwick township, Pennsylvania, and Peter Wallace to Virginia. There were other early immigrants bearing the name of Wallis. In fact, the two spellings seem interchangeable, but all came from the same Scotch ancestry. The New Hampshire Wallaces did not settle here till the eighteenth century, but they were among the pioneers of the state. They came in the Scotch-Irish migration, which founded the town of Londonderry. Among the sturdy settlers there were no less than four men by the name of Wallace. The people of the fam- ily herein traced have been distinguished in America for nearly two centuries by their sterling worth and successful business careers. The name is among the oldest of those brought to New Hampshire from northern Ireland, which came originally out of Scotland to that island. Its bearers were distinguished in the old country for their bravery, fortitude, in- dustry and firm adherence to principle.
(I) James Wallis was a weaver and farmer, and was found in the colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants who gathered at Worcester, Massa- chusetts, in 1718, and the years immediately following. His homestead for forty acres was in the adjoining town of Leicester, and is described in an ancient deed as bounding on Worcester. In 1758, while in the possession of his son, this farm was annexed to Worces- ter. James Wallace died in Leicester in 1746, or early in 1747. His widow, Mary, declined the administration of the estate and requested the appointment of Hugh Thompson. She alleged that he had then no relatives in this country. A brother, Oliver, who was a wheel- wright, lived near him, but died about 1735- His widow resided with her son James in Colerain, where she died in February, 1769, aged seventy years. Their children were: Agnes, James and John.
(II) John, younger son of James and Mary Wallis, was born in 1736 in Leicester, Massa- chusetts, and settled in Colerain, where he was a farmer and a good citizen. He is credited upon the Massachusetts revolutionary war rolls with several years of service under various enlistments. A considerable part of this service was performed by his eldest son and namesake. In the muster-roll of Captain McClellan's company of Colonel Wells' regi- ment of nine months' recruits, in 1777, the senior John is thus described: "Stature five feet and six inches ; hair gray, age forty-one." There is a tradition related by his descend-
.
ants that he came to New Hampshire at the age of sixty years, with four of his children, and ultimately died in Franconia. Nothing can be discovered in the records of either Colerain or Franconia to establish or refute this. He was married in Pelham, Massachusetts, Oc- tober 31, 1761, to Agnes Lindsey. No account of his children can be found except the four who came to New Hampshire, but is quite probable that there were others. They were John William, David and Nancy. The last named was the wife of David Bronson, and re- sided in Landaff. About the time the spelling of the name began to be changed to its pres- ent form.
(III) David, third son of John and Agnes (Lindsey) Wallace, was born April 18, 1770, in Colerain, Massachusetts, died April 1, 1853, in Littleton, New Hampshire. He was one of the original proprietors of Franconia, this state, where he resided a few years and removed to Littleton about 1800. By occupa- tion he was a farmer, and he was a useful and esteemed citizen. He married, September 5, 1709, Nancy, born April 15, 1774, a daughter of Aaron and Mary ( Reed) Palmer. She died in December, 1851, and was survived by her husband about sixteen months. Their children were : Linzey, Daniel, Mahala, David, Hiram, Mary Ann, Solomon and Nancy.
(IV) David (2), fourth child of David and Nancy ( Palmer) Wallace, was born in Little- ton, New Hampshire, January 15, 1806. He was reared to agricultural pursuits, left home at the age of eighteen years, subsequently set- tling in Bristol, Maine, where he devoted the active period of his life to that occupation. He attained the ripe old age of eighty-four years, and his death occurred January 21, 1890. In 1844 he married Mrs. Margaret Jones, nee Perkins, daughter of Solomon Per- kins, of Bristol, Maine, and widow of Deacon J. Jones of that city. She bore him three chil- dren : Lorana, Alonzo S., M. D. and Maria E., now all living.
(V) Alonzo Stewart Wallace. M. D., only son of David (2) and Margaret (Perkins) (Jones) Wallace, was born in Bristol, Maine, February 17, 1847. His early education was acquired in the public schools, the Lincoln Academy, New Castle, Maine, and the East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucks- port. At the age of thirteen years he began to follow the sea during the summer season, and when seventeen years old was second mate of a bark. It was his firm intention, however, to first prepare himself for educational pur- suits and then to earn a sufficient sum by

teaching to defray his expenses through col- lege. He therefore devoted his winters to study, and so earnest was he in his endeavors to obtain rapid advancement that at one time it was his custom to travel on foot ten miles to school on each Monday morning and return in the same manner each Friday evening. At the age of eighteen he began to teach in his home town, teaching two terms a year, from early fall to late spring, for a period of about three years. At the age of twenty-one he was elected superintendent of Bristol schools. In 1869 he secured a position as instructor at the city reformatory on Deer Island, Boston har- bor, where he attracted the attention of Dr. S. H. Durgin, then port physician and now chairman of the board of health of Boston, who advised him to enter the medical profes- sion. In 1872 he was a medical student at Bowdoin College. He was subsequently, how- ever, by an urgent request of the reformatory management, induced to return to Deer Island, but shortly afterward resigned in order to re- sume his studies, and entering Dartmouth Col- lege was graduated in 1874. Accepting a posi- tion at the Insane Hospital in Northampton, Massachusetts, he remained there some eight months, at the expiration of which time he was appointed assistant port physician at Boston and subsequently became chief port physician. Resigning that post in 1879, he engaged in private practice in Brookline, New Hampshire, and after remaining there for a period of nine years removed to Rochester, New Hampshire, where he practiced one year and some months. In 1889 he located in Nashua, New Hampshire, where he found a mnuch wider and far inore interesting field of operation, and he is now conducting an extensive practice in that city in both medicine and surgery. In addition to his regular practice he is connected with tlie Nashua Emergency Hospital and also with St. Joseph's Hospital. Dr. Wallace's professional society affiliations are with the Massachusetts State, the New Hampshire State, the Hills- borough County and the Nashua Medical so- cieties. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, belonging to Ancient York Lodge, Meridian Sun Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Israel Hunt Council, Royal and Select Masters, and St. George Commandery, Knights Templar; he is also a member of the local lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, being major of the local canton, Pa- triarchs Militant. In his religious belief he is a Congregationalist. He married Mary Frances, of Lowell, Massachusetts, daughter of
Charles Maynard. Dr. and Mrs. Wallace are the parents of four children : 1. Arthur Lowell, M. D., who took his degree of bachelor of arts in 1900, and that of medicine in 1903, at Dart- mouth College. He is located in Nashua, New Hampshire. 2. Edith Maynard, a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, was an instructor two years at Western College, Oxford, Ohio, and is now one of the faculty at the University of Maine, Orono, Maine. 3. Edna June, who is residing at home. 4. Ina, who is attending the high school at Nashua, New Hampshire.
The surname Hawley seems to
HAWLEY , have had a Norman origin. At any rate it is used by a Nor-
man at the time of the Conquest and appears. in the Battle Abbey. The family has been prominent in Derbyshire since about A. D. I200. We have six generations of an old pedigree in that county. Doubtless many of the families branched off from this line. John Hawley (5), of Banbridge, had an only daugh- ter and heir, Anne, who married Thomas Blount. He was the son of Thomas Hawley, of Ersby, and grandson of Sir William of Ersby. Sir William's father was also Sir Will- iam and his grandfather was Robert de Haw- ley.

Motto: Suivezmoi.

The surname Burbank, BURBANK spelled Bowerbank, is found in the Domesday Book. At a later date the spelling is Bowbank. Some of the American lines have preferred the spelling Burbancke.
