WINES.
ABIJAH WINES, D. D., s. of Abijah ; b. in Southold, Long Island, May 28, 1766. At the age of fifteen he came with his father's family to Newport. At the age of twenty he married Ruth, dau. of Hon. Benj. Giles. Both inheriting considerable property, they built the house now known as the Fred. Aiken house, where they commenced farming on a somewhat exten- sive scale. After a brief period, and after two children had been born to them, he experienced a change in his religious views, and determined to enter the ministry. He accordingly commenced his preparatory course of study, entered Dartmouth college as a sophomore, and graduated in 1794. He studied theology with Rev. Dr. Emmons, of Franklin, Mass., then one of the most eminent divines of New England. Completing his theological course, Mr. Wines returned to Newport, where, the Congregational church being vacant, he was invited to supply the pulpit. Contrary to the proverb that a prophet is not with- out honor save in his own country, he proved so acceptable that he was invited to become their pastor. He accepted the invitation, and was ordained in 1796, continuing its pastor for twenty years. The church prospered under his ministry. He was one of the founders and a trustee of the N. H. Mission- ary Society, and also trustee of Kimball Union Academy. He fitted several young men for college, and aided others in their theological studies. In 1816 he was appointed Professor of Theology in the Bangor Theological Seminary. At the end of one year he closed his connection with this institution, and commenced preaching at Deer Island, where he continued for the space of twelve years. He d. Feb. 11, 1833, aged 67 years.

HISTORY OF NEWPORT.
We have received the following additional particulars in re- lation to the life of Gov. E. O. Stanard, of St. Louis, which we also append, and which we regret could not have been inserted in its legitimate place in the Genealogy :
EDWIN O. STANARD, S of Obed and Mary Ann (Webster) Stanard ; b. Jan. 5, 1832, at Newport, N. H .; removed in 1836 with his parents to Iowa, where he was engaged at farm- ing during his minority. In 1852 he went to St. Louis, with- out friends and without money, his father being a farmer in moderate circumstances, and there spent several years attending school, teaching in the winters to defray his necessary expenses. In 1856 he became a clerk in a produce store at Alton, Ill. In 1857 he opened a commission and produce store at St. Louis, where he has since resided. Shortly after, he opened a branch house at Chicago, with C. J. Gilbert, and at about the same time, another at New Orleans with Mr. Slayback, a former clerk. In 1868 he sold out to his partners, and has since been engaged with his present partner, J. W. Kauffman, in the flour- ing business, having one of the largest establishments of the kind in the country. He has accumulated a large fortune.
