His children, as far as known, were b. in Plainfield, Conn. Here we have the connection between the Vermont and Connecticut families. Capt. Adam Larrabee always claimed Judge John S. Larrabee, of Shoreham, Vt., as his cousin, and the two were accustomed to visit each other. John d. in Shoreham, June 7, 1818. Names of children with Vermont branch.

LARRABEE FAMILY.
CHILDREN OF FREDERICK AND ABIGAIL:
I. CAPT. ADAM,6 born March 14, 1787; m. Hannah G. Lester, Sept. 21, 1807 ; second wife, Susan E. Allyn, to whom married Aug. 6, 1837. He entered the United States Military Academy at the age of twenty-one and graduated Mar. 1, 1811. At the termination of his course of study at West Point he was appointed second lieutenant of light artillery, and two months afterwards was promoted to a first lieutenancy; was then serving on the Atlantic coast. He participated in the campaign on the northern frontier in 1812; was in the engagement under General Wilkin- son, at La Colle Mills, on the St. Lawrence, March 30, 1814, and was seriously wounded by a bullet, which passed through his lungs and lodged against the shoulder-blade; this missile was removed from the back and thus passed through his body. He was supposed to have been killed. He was hauled about twenty miles in an open sleigh and left at the home of Chancellor Walworth, where he was faithfully cared for and nursed back to health by the kind family ; was soon after promoted to a captaincy, but resigned his commission in 1815 ; was elected to the Connecticut Legislature in 1822; appointed by President Jackson a member of the board of visitors to the military academy in 1828; was a presidential elector in the Tippecanoe campaign of 1840. He was appointed railroad commissioner in May, 1841. His favorite pursuit was farming and he made it successful. He was for more than fifty years continuously a trustee of the old savings bank of Norwich; also connected with other leading banks; was a careful and vigilant manager, punctual, orderly, frugal, always present at the meetings of the bank trustees. To the cause of religion and deserving objects of charity he always extended a liberal hand. The rigid discipline and systematic training at West Point were observable in all his business transactions; the scars carried down to his grave, evidence of his faithfulness as a soldier upon the field of battle. He was a man possesed of strict in- tegrity and fearless truthfulness; of simple, abstemious habits and an intense despiser of shams. He d. Oct. 24, 1869, aged 82. Nine chil- dren, b. in Ledyard, New London county, whose names will appear with seventh generation.

CHILDREN OF CAPT. ADAM AND HANNAH:
I. CAPT. NATHAN F.,7 b. Oct. 11, 1818, and d., unmarried, Sept. 13, 1879. He followed the sea for forty years, being one of the oldest master mariners who sailed out of New York.
2. HON. CHARLES,7 b. June 20, 1821 ; m. Mary A. Burnham, Mar. 23, 1846; second, Emeline Fillmore, in 1865. When twenty-one he went to sea in a whale ship; afterwards made a voyage to England. He set- tled on his father's farm of 600 acres in Windham, where he remained as an extensive and successful cultivator of the soil until 1886, when he purchased a fine place in town, situated on the main street, about one-half mile from his former residence, which is now occupied by his youngest son. Mr. Larrabee is a man of sterling integrity and upright- ness, held in respect by his compatriots. Children, all b. in Windham, with eighth generation.

6. HENRY,7 b. April 15, 1830; m. Maria S. Allyn, Mar. 17, 1853, and set- tled in Windham, Conn., where he now resides. Nine children.
7. HON. WILLIAM,7 b. Jan. 20, 1832; m. Anna M. Appleton, Sept. 12, 1861, and resides in Clermont, Ia. He was educated in the common schools of his native town; though not a graduate, he has always been a diligent student, and has thus made good what was wanting in his early scholastic training. In early manhood he settled in the then far West and engaged in agricultural pursuits, but after three years of hard work on the farm he engaged in milling and manufacturing, a business in which he did much to develop the resources of the state. He soon became known as a man of enterprise, foresight, and reliability. He was active in promoting the organization of several railroad companies, and aided by his influence and liberality in the construction of several lines of railway in Northern Iowa. Being a warm friend of public education, he has been liberal in the establishment of schools, seminaries, and colleges, and has fostered, by his persistent effort and money, every good cause brought to his notice. Although retaining his interest in manufacturing enterprises, he has been quite extensively engaged in banking: and his known ability, integrity, and financial responsibility have largely aided commercial enterprises over an extensive area of country, and while aiding others he has himself acquired a fortune.
He was one of the founders of the Republican party in Iowa, and from that time to the present has been one of its most constant and

honored members. Though very decided in his political opinions, he has always conceded to his opponents their right to hold conflicting views. He has exhibited his spirit of independence by differing with a majority of his own party and by fearlessly speaking and voting for what he believed was right, regardless of all attempts of others to dictate. In 1867, contrary to his declared wishes, he was induced to become the Republican candidate for state senator, and was elected by a handsome majority. In January, 1868, he took his seat in the senate and began his long and honorable service as a member of that body; a length of continuous service unprecedented in his own state and sel- dom, if ever, equalled in any other. Five times was he nominated by acclamation, in regular succession, and elected to the senate, making eighteen years in the state senate of Iowa! Again and again he asked his political friends to permit him to retire, but without their consent.
Upon his nomination for governor, in 1885, he resigned the office of senator, after being chairman of the committee of ways and means sixteen years. He was elected by a flattering majority as governor, in 1885, and re-elected in 1887, by a majority of over 16,000 votes.
In 1861, at the breaking out of the Civil war, he was a leader in organizing a company. He gave pecuniary aid to the Sanitary Com- mission and looked well after the wants of families of Union soldiers, and in many ways promoted the success of the Federal army in which he was prohibited from bearing arms in consequence of physical disability.
He has devoted much study to the great question of transportation and railroad management. In 1893 he published an exhaustive treatise on this subject, in a volume entitled "The Railroad Question." Eight children, whose names will be found with the eighth generation.
8. FRANK,7 b. Sept. 10, 1834; m. Sarah M. Copp, Aug. 7, 1802.

* It seems probable that brothers of John Larrabee removed from Connecticut to Pownal and other towns in Vermont about the same time of his settlement there for I find record of members of other families there with contemporary dates and corresponding christian names; names peculiar to the Connecticut branches, as will appear by reference to sketches that will follow. 1 apprehend that a thorough search in the Connecticut and Vermont vital records would reveal all the " missing links."-Author.
