DENTON.
Eugene C. Denton, well known in legal and business circles in the state of New York, is the son of Stephen E. and Ann E. Denton, both natives of Orange county, New York, the former having been a paper manufacturer in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, until his death in 1868.
Eugene C. Denton was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Decem- ' ber 10, 1865. He was a pupil in the public schools of Canandaigua, New York, 1875-79, then attended the Canandaigua Academy, from which he was graduated in 1883. He next matriculated at the University of Rochester, New York, and was graduated from the classical depart- ment of that institution in 1887 with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Having made a choice of the legal profession for his life work, he com- menced the study of law in the office of Martin W. Cooke, and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1889. He was then for a time managing clerk in the office in which he had prosecuted his studies. In January, 1891, he opened offices on his own account in Rochester, and in 1895 asso- ciated himself in a partnership with George F. Slocum, practicing under the firm name of Slocum & Denton, this relation being maintained until April, 1900, since which time Mr. Denton has practiced alone. He is a man of large and diversified activities, and is trustee of the People's Rescue Mission, vestryman of Christ Episcopal church, and a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, the State and Rochester Bar As- sociations, Rochester Chamber of Commerce, and the University Club of Rochester.

HART.
Stephen Hart, who came to this country from Braintree, Essex county, England, with the company that settled at Braintree, Massachu- setts, was the progenitor of the Hart families of Massachusetts and Con- necticut. He was one of the fifty-four settlers at Cambridge, Massachu- setts. 1632, and married there. In 1634 he was admitted a freeman, there, and was a member and deacon of the church of which the Rev. Thomas Hooker was pastor. He went to Hartford in 1635 with a com- pany led by Mr. Hooker, and was one of the original proprietors of that place. His house lot was on the west side of what is now Front street, near where Morgan street crosses it, and there is a tradition that

the town was called from the ford he discovered and used in crossing the Connecticut river when the water was low, and the transition from Hart's Ford to Hartford was a simple one. It is also said Mr. Hart with several others discovered the Farmington river valley, which was at that time occupied and cultivated by a powerful tribe of Indians, the Tunxis. An arrangement was made with them by means of which the land was purchased in 1640, and the white men settled there with their cattle. In 1652 the place was incorporated under the name of Farming- ton, Mr. Hart having been especially active in the settlement, and a man of prominence generally. He bought a large tract of land on the border of the present town of Avon, which was known as Hart's Farm. His house lot, which was on the west side of Main street, opposite the meeting house, consisted of fifteen acres, this large plot being granted him on condition that he continue to run the mill situated on it, which had originally been erected by the Bumsons. He and his wife were members of the first church of Farmington, of which he was elected the first deacon. He represented the town at the general court for fifteen ses- sions from 1647 to 1655 and once in 1660, and died in March, 1682, aged seventy-seven, leaving large landed possessions: Children : Sarah, married Thomas Porter; Mary, married (first) John Lee, (second) Jebediah Strong ; John, married Sarah -; Stephen, married Mehitable, married John Cole; Thomas, see forward.

(THE BUELL LINE).
The earliest record of this family is in 1270, when one William de Beule witnessed a charter granted by Henry III. for the protection of ambassadors. In 1327 the king sent a petition to the Court of Rome by "our beloved Walter de Beule." In 1373 John de Beule was appointed by the king to be commander of Calais in France, with the title "Cap- tain of Calais," with supreme power, both civil and criminal, and au- thorized him to conclude a truce with the envoys of Charles, King of France. From this time, through the reigns of the first three Edwards, the Buells held offices of honor and trust. In the "Rolls of Hundreds," of England, made by George III. in 1812, is contained an account of members of the Buell family as holding manors and public offices in many of the counties of England.
The Buell coat-of-arms has upon its shield three disks, which in heraldy indicate the number of crusades in which the family had been represented. Also, as its crest, a winged horse rampant, upon an ermine- trimmed cap, and carrying in its mouth an olive branch. The ermine- trimmed cap was in early days given to untitled men, but only in ac- knowledgment of distinguished service. The olive branch is a symbol of diplomatic service. Motto: Prodesse quam conspici. We read in ancient records that one Robert Buele was made knight of the shire for Huntingdonshire in 1440 under Henry IV. Descending two hundred years through a line of knights and baronets to 1610, there was born :
