His son had the degrees AB, AM, LLB. Her second husband, Edwin David Sanborn, LLD was Professor of ancient classic at Dartmouth College. She has furnished the world with much prose, poetry and written a book entitled "Dante and his Be- loved Florence."
We find the Fenton's as leading citizens in Rutland, Vermont, Washington, New Braintree, Mass. God fearing and law abid- ing as well as many other sections in which they have settled. This is a bit about them in this country. As I have noted there seems to be a lost link in the chain, which perhaps some- day may be connected. Some day possibly from some tomb stone in Urney Church yard, and the links which are lost after their arrival in those early Colonial days here in this country perhaps may be learned also. From those traits and characteristics which "Foote" in his genealogy of the Conn. Fenton's speaks of, it would seem to apply to my families as I have known them.
"Thomas Actlay Aikins" in his, says "That the Shaw's and Fenton's not only seem to settle near each other, but are allied by marriage." As we find Shaw's at Gouldsboro and Steuben, so do we find them near that branch of the Fenton Family of which my grandfather descended.
This fine line of genealogy of the Fenton family was contri- buted by Miss Geneva May Fenton a daughter of Adoniram and Lillian Olive Hooper Fenton, of Sullivan.
The Sullivan Fenton's follow:
The first Fenton who came to Maine was either a descendant of Robert Fenton who first heard of at Woburn or a descendant of William Fenton maybe. However the first Mr. Fenton was a tailor and when he came to Maine he and his wife settled in Gouldsboro or Steuben, where they had a family of five chil- dren. The first child Joseph W. Fenton b. June 30, 1825 d. April 23, 1897.
Katie Fenton
Thomas Fenton
Priscilla Blackstone Fenton
and another daughter who m. Joseph Crowley of Corea, Maine.

Their father died when they were young, leaving Mrs. Fenton with five small children. Joseph was taken into the home of Mrs. Eliza Tracy Chilcott on Ironbound Island. Mr. and Mrs. George Chilcott Jr. also took another homeless, fatherless child when very young. Samuel Cleaves whose father, Joshna Cleaves of Kennebunkport was drowned while moving his family goods to Stuben by vessel, was cast away and never heard from.
Joseph Fenton was taken into the Chilcott home when very young where he lived until a young man where he was very happy and had great affection for them. On April 7, 1849 he married Mary Sophia Whitten of Steuben, daughter of John Whitten, born September 5, 1829. Joseph Fenton and his wife then came to Sullivan (now Sorrento) where he built a house where their six children were born.
