ENJAMIN L. SAYLES was born in Lysander, Onondaga county, N. Y., August 16, 1830, where he resided until 1838, when his parents, George W. and Sarah Ann Sayles, emigrated west and settled in Gorham, Fulton county, Ohio, where a farm was purchased about .one half mile south of the Michigan State line. Benjamin L. resided in Gorham until he was thirty years old, and followed farming. In the spring of 1860 he went to Morenci and formed a partnership with D. M. Blair, and engaged in the wagon, carriage and blacksmith business, continu- ing two years. In the fall of 1862 he went into the livery busi- ness in Morenci, remaining there until the 1st day of March, 1866, when he purchased the Exchange Hotel in Clayton village, estab- lishing a livery and stage line in connection. He carried the U. S. mail between Morenci and Clayton for about fifteen years. He kept the hotel at Clayton until the fall of 1880, when he leased it to David Tubbs for one year. Since his residence in Clayton he has taken an active part in the growth and prosperity of the vil- lage. He has been trustee and president of the village, and served as deputy, under Sheriff's William R. Tayer and John G. Mason five years, and was appointed under sheriff by Sheriff James R. Cairns, serving four years.
Previous to his first going to Morenci he owned and carried on a farm in Gorham, Ohio. Sep- tember 5, 1855, Benjamin L. Sayles married Elmina Holiday, daughter of Abram and Nancy Holiday, of Union City, Branch county, Mich. They never have had issue. Mrs. Elmina Sayles was born in Onondaga county, N. Y., February 23, 1833, and came to Michigan in 1839, first settling in Medina, this county, but her parents subsequently purchased a farm near Union City, Branch county, where they resided many years.

OHN G. MASON was born in Richmond, Ontario county, N. Y., July 9, 1835, where he resided until he was five years old, when his parents, Gardner and Olive P. Mason, came to Michigan and settled on section 12, in Fairfield, this county, in the spring of 1840. Gardner Mason was born in Bris- tol, Ontario county, August 3, 1808, and was the son of John and Sally Mason. John Mason was born in Swansea, Mass., in 1767, and died in Bristol, N. Y., in 1836.

owner of a vessel trading between Boston and Newbern, N. C. In 1801 he settled in Bristol, Ontario county, N. Y., where he purchased land in an unbroken wilderness, which he cleared and improved, and where both he and his estimable wife died. Gardner Mason was born on this farm, and was the sixth child in a family of seven children. He " purchased his time" at the age of eighteen, and commenced for himself and purchased a farm after he was married in 1831, in Bristol. He owned three differ- ent farms in Ontario county previous to his coming to Michigan. The land he purchased in Fairfield, this county, was entirely new, being covered with heavy timber. He lived on it until the winter of 1854-5, building good buildings and improving about eighty acres. In the summer of 1855 he purchased an improved farm on section 5, in Ogden, where he resided until his death, which occurred October 15, 1865. He married Olive P. West, daughter of Nathan and Sally West, of Richmond, Ontario county, N. Y., by whom he had only one child, John G., the subject of this biography. Mrs. Olive P. Mason was born in Richmond, July 9, 1808, and died in Adrian, at the residence of her son, January 3, 1880. Her parents were natives of Massachusetts and pioneers of Ontario county, and died on the farm they improved there. Gardner Mason was a man of many virtues, being blessed with good intellect, discernment and judgment, and was honored and respected by all who knew him. In fact he was a good man, endeavoring at all times to do the right thing. He was a man of large stature, weighing 210 pounds, and when young was an ath- lete, and was noted for his strength and athletic powers. John G. Mason came to Michigan with his parents in 1840, and has resided in Lenawee county ever since. He was reared a farmer, and was educated at the district schools, closing his school days in the fall of 1855, at the Adrian public schools. He lived in Ogden until 1872. During his residence there he filled the offices of postmaster three years, school inspector three years, supervisor three years, deputy sheriff under Col. S. B. Smith two years, under sheriff under William R. Tayer four years, and was elected sheriff of Lenawee county in the fall of 1872, holding the office two years, and was renominated by acclamation in 1874, but was defeated by Col. N. B. Eldredge. He removed to the city of Adrian in January, 1873, where he has ever since resided. In January, 1875, he engaged in the drug business in Adrian, which he is still successfully carrying on. Mr. Mason has always been an active man in Lenawee county, and is perhaps as well known as any man within its limits. February 3, 1856, John G. Mason married Amanda D. Carter, daughter of Norman B. and Mentha

OHN L. HALL was born in Parma, Monroe county, N. Y., December 14, 1813, where he resided until he was about twenty years old. His father, Nehemiah Hall, was a farmer of Monroe county, N. Y., and died in Parma about the year 1820. He married Polly Atchinson, daughter of Bezaleel and Mary (Fuller) Atchinson, of Parma, by whom he had five chil- dren, John L. being the fourth child, and Mrs. Allen Washburn,. of Adrian, being the oldest. Mrs. Polly Hall was born in Tolland, Conn., in 1783, and died in Quincy, Branch county, Mich., November 12, 1860. She was twice married, the second time to William Buel, by whom she had five children. John L. Hall lived in Parma, N. Y., until the spring of 1833, when he came to Michigan and settled in Adrian, which place he called home until the spring of 1840. Early in 1836 he went to Farm- ington, Ill., remaining there nearly two years. During the months of May and June, 1836, he was engaged in running a ferry across the Mississippi river at Rock Island, passengers being carried across in a skiff, while horses, wagons, and all live stock were carried on a flat-boat, propelled by poles and oars. In 1840 he was employed on the Michigan Southern railroad, in its con- struction west of Adrian. In the spring of 1841 he settled on section 14, in Medina, which he located in 1833, where he has resided ever since. At that time he owned eighty acres of new land, without any improvements whatever. He moved into a log house belonging to Amos Knapp, residing there until he could erect a house of his own that summer. He now owns 260 acres of land, has erected a good brick house, with capacious barns and all conveniences. He has cleared 130 acres of land himself, and

has a good farm, having done his share of all there has been to do in improving and developing the township. January 28, 1841, John L. Hall married Clarissa C. Crane, daughter of Turner and Phebe Crane, of Madison, this county, by whom he has had three children, as follows: Caroline, born in Madison, November 5, 1842, now the wife of James E. Drown, of Medina; Harriet I., born in Medina, April 14, 1849, now the wife of Lewis H. Con- verse, of Medina; Phebe M., born same place, November 29, 1858. Mrs. Clarissa C. Hall was born in New Hampshire, December 13, 1819, and came to Michigan with her parents in 1833, and settled in Madison. Her father, Turner Crane, was born in Norton, Bristol county, Mass., January 24, 1789, and died in Madison, this county, July 23, 1843. He married, in 1812, Phebe Arnold, daughter of Asa and Jemima (Hodges) Arnold, by whom he had eleven children, Mrs. Hall being the fourth child. Mrs. Phebe Crane was born in Norton, Mass., November 10, 1796, and died in Madison, this county, March 10, 1868. Mrs. Hall was married in January, and the following March she moved with her husband into the woods, where she has resided ever since, having passed her life in assisting in build- ing up and improving a new country, but looks back with pleasure and pride when she thinks of the part she has taken and the num- ber she has relieved during her life in Medina. She knows what it is to be a pioneer wife.

LMOND L. BLISS was born at Blissfield, Lenawee county, Mich., November 7, 1832. His father, Hervey Bliss, was born at Royalston, Mass., in 1779, and was married October 28, 1815, to Nancy Woodbury, and of their lives more will be said further on in this sketch. It is usually a difficult task to trace family history far back into the past, but John Homer Bliss, of Norwich, Conn., the faithful and painstaking chronicler of the Bliss family, says "'tis supposed they are of Norman descent ; that the name was originally Blois (gradually modified to Bloys, Blyse. Blysse, Blisse, and in America to Bliss); that its introduc- tion into England occurred at the time of the Norman conquest

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
(1066), previous to which time hereditary surnames were not assumed in England." The coat-of-arms, as described in Edmon- son's Heraldry, and also in volume II., of " Encyclopædia Heral- dica," of the Bliss family, was "Gules, a bend vaire, between two fleur-de-lis;" or, it appears that gules (red) is a royal color. The origin of vaire is from the fur of a beast called varus, the fleur- de-lis representing a lily, and as in English Heraldry, the fleur- de-lis indicated the sixth son, it is supposed the original grant of arms to a Bliss was to a sixth son. The motto (on the shield) "semper sursum," translated, means "ever upward." The ancient traditions of the family represent them as living in the south of England, and belonging to that staunch class known as English yeomanry or farmers. From time immemorial they had inclined to Puritanism, detesting the looseness of the clergy and laymen, and the Sunday sports in which they indulged. These Sunday sports had been fostered by Elizabeth, and her successor, James, had reduced them to a system by publishing a book of "Sports on Sunday," and enjoining the practice of them by those of his sub- jects who had attended church in the morning, and it is said that one of the Blisses was fatally injured while passing the scene of these sports one Sunday. The beginning of the misfortunes of this family in England appears to have occurred in this wise, and brought about by the contentions of King Charles I. and his Par- liament. Writs were issued by this King, January 29, 1568, for the assembling of the two Houses of Parliament. There was great excitement throughout the country, and Cassell's History, volume III., pp. 134, shows as one of the causes the court enmity directed against this family (Bliss) a number of foreign troops were about to be brought into the country, and the people were worked up to a pitch of extreme excitement, and sent to the House of Commons men not readily intimidated. Westminster sent up one Bradshaw, a brewer. Huntington elected Oliver Cromwell, a farmer. Two of the men who went up from Devon- shire with their "member" were the brothers, Jonathan and Thomas Bliss. They rode two iron grey horses, and remained in the city long enough to be observed by the spies of Charles the I., and very soon thereafter they were fined £1,000 for nonconformity, and thrown into prison, where they lay for many weeks. Even their old father, Thomas Bliss, was dragged through the streets, with great indignity. At another time the three brothers, with twelve more, were led through the market place in Okehampton, with ropes around their necks, and fined heavily; and Jonathan and his father were thrown into prison, where the suffering's of the former caused his death. They began to think England was no

longer a home for them, and they turned their eyes toward the wilds of America.
First Generation .- The first generation of the Bliss family of which we have any reliable information, is comprised of a single individual, Mr. Thomas Bliss, of Belstone Parish, in the County of Devonshire, England. Very little is known of him, except that he was a wealthy land-owner; that he belonged to a class stigmatized as Puritans, on account of the simplicity and purity of their worship, and that he was maltreated, imprisoned and finally ruined in health (and financially) by the many indignities and hardships forced upon him by the intolerant church party. He is supposed to have been born about the year 1550 or 1560. Second Generation .- The second generation of this family comprises the children of Thomas Bliss, of Belstone, England, two of whom (Thomas and George) removed to America in 1635, while another, Jonathan (the ancestor of the subject of this biography) languished in prison, where he contracted a fever of which he eventually died. Jonathan Bliss, third generation, son of Thomas Bliss, of Belston, England, was born at that village about the year 1575, and, like his father, was doomed to bitter persecution, on account of his non- conformity and opposition to the dominant church party, which had assumed, not only to control the government, but the con- sciences of men. He died about 1635 or '36. Thomas Bliss, fourth generation, of Rhehobeth, Mass., son of Jonathan Bliss, of Belstone, England, was born at Belstone, and upon the death of his father in 1636, emigrated to America, landing at Boston, whence he removed to Braintree, Mass., thence to Hartford, Conn., thence to Weymouth, Mass., from which place he removed in 1643, and commenced a new settlement called Rehobeth, and died there in June, 1649. Jonathan Bliss, fifth generation, of Rhehobeth (son of Thomas), was born in England about 1625, and died in 1687. He was one of the eighty who made the Rhehobeth "North purchase" in 1666, and March 18, 1668, according to " Daggett's History of Attleborongh," drew a lot in said purchase. Samuel Bliss, sixth generation, of Rhehobeth, Mass., son of Jona- than, born June 24, 1660, died February 8, 1705 or '6. Cap- tain Nathaniel Bliss, seventh generation, of Rhehobeth, Mass., born August 28, 1702, died February 21, 1767. Timothy Bliss, eighth generation, of Royalston, Mass., son of Captain Nathaniel, born January 4, 1733, died January 4, 1822. Israel Bliss, ninth generation, a farmer of Royalton, Vt., son of Timothy, born February 14, 1760, died Hervey Bliss, tenth gen- eration, of Blissfield, Lenawee county, a farmer, son of Israel, was born in 1789, and was married .to Nancy Woodbury (as above

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
stated). He died in December, 1841; she died April 28, 1849, aged fifty-eight. In 1814 Hervey Bliss, with his brother Sylva- nus, moved to the (then) far West, and settled in Huron county, Ohio. In the spring of 1816 he removed to Monroe, then a ham- let of four families, and a year later, with several other families, settled on government land, thirteen miles up the river Raisin, from which, in 1819, with the other families, they were driven from their houses by the Indians, who claimed the land, and which land was subsequently set apart as the "Macon Reserve." He then removed to Raisinville, three miles below, and resided there until the year 1824, when he moved some twenty miles up the river, cutting his way through heavy timber from Petersburg, a distance of ten miles (which was the nearest place from whence supplies could be had), and purchased and settled on government land, now occupied by the village of Blissfield, of which he was the founder, and which was named in his honor. He was ruling elder in the Presbyterian church, which he joined in 1829. In 1827 he was commissioned by Governor Cass, as justice of the peace, which office, with that of township clerk and postmaster, he held at the date of his decease. He left four sons and two daugh- ters, all living (a son, Whiting Bliss, having died in infancy), William W. Bliss, the eldest, being a successful merchant at Bliss- field, having held many offices of honor in his town and county, and is prominent in the religious and social interests of his locality ; Hiram W. and Harvey K. Bliss being worthy men and farmers in this county. The daughters, Emeline E. Printup, and Caroline L. Knight being also residents of this county, and crowned in their old age with the laurels of a life of pure womanhood. Almond L. Bliss, eleventh generation, son of Hervey Bliss, attended the district school in his native village until sixteen years of age, when he entered the employ of Marvin L. Stone, then the leading merchant of Blissfield, and gained the confidence of his employer so rapidly that the second year he was selected from the force of employes as book-keeper of the establishment, and confidential clerk to his employer. At the age of nineteen years Mr. Bliss formed a copartnership with his then brother-in-law, Myron E. Knight, under the firm name of Knight & Bliss, and kept a gen- eral stock of merchandise, the firm continuing business about two years, when a new firm was organized (Mr. Knight retiring,) under the firm name of A. L. Bliss & Co., with Sewall S. Goff as copartner, and the business was continued until 1856, when Mr. Bliss was elected county clerk on the Republican ticket, in the ever memorable "Fremont campaign" of 1856, and his services being so acceptable to his constituents he was reelected in 1858

and again in 1860, a compliment to efficient services then unpre- cedented in the political history of the county. Mr. Bliss was elected clerk of his township as soon as he arrived at his majority, and was continued in said office until 1856, and was twice elected by the Board of Supervisors as one of the county superintendents of the poor. In 1858 (while clerk of the county) Mr. Bliss com- menced the compilation of the records of land titles of Lenawee county, which system has since been universally adopted in all the Western States, and has built up an extensive land business, and acquired a well-merited reputation as an examiner of land titles. Mr. Bliss removed to Adrian in January, 1857, and was connected with the choir of Plymouth church and Sabbath-school most of the time as chorister, for more than twenty years, and until the disorganization of the church and society in 1879, and is identified with the musical interests of this city and county, and has gained much loeal notoriety as a singer, and is active and efficient in all public enterprises of the day. Mr. Bliss, on the 25th of Novem- ber, 1853, was married at Blissfield, to Miss Almira A. Goff, only daughter of the late Sewall S. Goff (his former partner), by whom he has had two children, as follows: Nellie S., born October 6, 1854, died May 1, 1857; Eloise M., born at Adrian, May 27, 1860 (now living with her parents), who graduated with honor, both from the public schools of Adrian, and from the musical department.of Adrian College. Mrs. Almira A. Bliss was born at Blissfield, January 7, 1834, received a good common school educa- tion, and takes a lively interest in educational matters in our city. She is interested in music, and has sung in the church choirs with her husband since her childhood. Her father was born Jannary 29, 1811, at Royalston, Mass., removed to Blissfield in 1829, was supervisor and justice of the peace of his township for many years, and represented his distriet creditably in the State Legislature for one term; was a successful farmer and merchant, and died January 23, 1865, respected and honored by his fellow citizens. The mother of Mrs. Bliss, Esther Margaret Goff, was a woman pos- sessed of all the womanly virtues of her sex, and died at Blissfield, in 1839.
"One generation comes, Another goes and mingles with the dust ; And thus we come and go, Each for a brief moment filling Some little space ; and thus we disappear In quick succession. And it shall be so Till time in one vast perpetuity Be swallowed up."
LENAWEE.
FROM WHAT DID THE NAME OF OUR COUNTY ORIGINATE ?
Abel Whitney, Esq., of this city, who has given the subject study, advances the following theory :
" Lenawee appears to be a compound of the words Lena and wee, the etymology of Lena being 'a sluggard,' as applied to man ; to a stream, small, slow, sluggish, shrunken; and wec, vile, wretched. Therefore, the small, slow, sluggish Raisin, or sluggard men who inhabited the region embraced within the limits of Len- awee county (the Indians); the presumption is that the name was given this region of country by the French from the above reasons, and adopted by the Territorial Council, in giving name to the county."-Adrian Times, June 10, 1878.
