ployed at the Brooks Locomotive Works, Dun- kirk, New York, going from there to a clerk- ship in the offices of the Lake Shore & Michi- gan Southern railroad, remaining two years. In 1892 he established a gentlemen's clothing and furnishing store in the village of Brocton, continuing until 1894, when he founded his present lumber and hardware business. He continued alone until 1901, when he formed a partnership with W. I. and F. M. Thayer, trading under the firm name of the Brocton Hardware & Lumber Company. The business was incorporated, with Charles F. Crandall as president. In 1906 he purchased an interest in the business of his cousin, Jay E. Crandall, now the Crandall Panel Company, manufac- turers of panels and baskets ; Charles F. Cran- dall, secretary and treasurer.

The Partridge family of
PARTRIDGE Jamestown, New York, trace to an American an- cestor, John Partridge, of English birth and parentage. The origin of the family in Eng- land is thus given :
In the year 1066, at the historic battle of Hastings, William, Duke of Normandy, defeated Harold, then King of England, and ascended to the English throne, and, to his new possession, he soon added his own little duchy of Normandy, To those of his countrymen, who had assisted him in his work of conquest, William made grants of lands in the con- quered kingdom, the number and size of which de- pended upon the value of the service rendered. After the death of William his successors carried out this

same policy, during the wars of the next century. All land of value was soon disposed of, and the estates of the British nobles were seized, confiscated and turned over to the intrepid Normans, who thus became the landed gentry of England. Among those who thus received grants was one described, by Eng- lish antiquarians, as "Partridge, the Norman." He is said to have emigrated during the reign of Stephen (1135-54), and, in recognition of his military service, to have received, from Henry II. (1154-89), estates in Essex, though the family afterward settled in Gloucestershire. Certain it is that, in the next cen- tury (1254), "Richard de Pertriche" (that being the Norman and original spelling of the name) is in- disputably recorded as the head of the family, with manors in the county of Gloucester. These royal grants not only proved the family to have been in high favor at court, but at once marked it as one of ancient distinction.
Concerning the English birth and home of John Partridge there is little definite informa- tion, but a great deal that may help to prove his identity. In volume ii., state records of Connecticut, on file in the state house at Hart- ford, is the will of John Beebe, dated May 18, 1650, made on shipboard, while coming to New England from England. The will is witnessed by John and William Partridge, whose signa- tures are identical with those of John and Will- iam Partridge, of Medfield, Massachusetts. The name of the ship is not mentioned, nor is it known from what port in England they sail- ed, nor where a landing was made in America. The testator describes himself as "John Beebe, husbandman, late of Broughton in the county of Northampton." The "Visitation of Essex," made in the year 1634, gives (xiii part, page 465) the children of Captain John Partridge, of Navestock, as: John, aged about fourteen years; William, Jane and Margaret. From further information obtained from the vicar of the parish of Navestock it appears that of these children William was born in 1622; Margaret. 1628. In his will, made August 4. 1692, Will- iam Partridge, of Medfield, states his age as "about seventy years." This would agree with the parish records, and indicates the same William given in the "Visitations," as the son of Captain John Partridge, of Navestock. An- other coincidence is in the age of Margaret Stacy, of Medfield, relict of Thomas Mason, who in her will, made 1695, gives her age as about "sixty-seven years." Again the birth date of Margaret Partridge, born 1628, agrees. John and William Partridge, of Medfield, were brothers, and the conclusion seems strong that they were the sons of Captain John Partridge. of Navestock, England.
John Partridge, with William, his brother, and sister Margery ( Margaret), came to Med- field, Massachusetts, from Dedham, in 1653. He was in Dedham at least a year earlier, for, on "ye 7 ye 1 month, 1652," he shared, with others, in the division of five hundred acres of land (see Dedham town records, vol. iii., p. 211). John and William took up their house lots in Medfield, in "Bachelors Roe," now North street. Their lots were near each other, and another near neighbor was Thomas Mason, who married Margery ( Margaret) Partridge, April 23, 1653, the first recorded marriage in Medfield. John and William both signed the "proprietors agreement." drawn (it is sup- posed ) by Ralph Wheelock, founder of Med- field. They appear to have been good and useful citizens, both serving a term as select- man, and John being chosen clerk of the market in 1672. In 1676, when Medfield was burned by the Indians, John's house and barn were destroyed, with a quantity of grain and sev- eral head of cattle. William Partridge was twice married and had a large family. John Partridge married, December 18, 1655, Mag- dalen, died in Medfield, December 27, 1677. daughter of John and Magdalen Bullard, early of Watertown, later of Medfield. He died May 28. 1706. In his will, proved June 25. 1706, mention is made of sons John, Eleazer. Samuel. Zachariah ; daughter Rachel, wife of Theophilus Clark ; and three of his grandchil- dren, Eleazer and Obadiah Adams and Han- nah Rockwood. Children : 1. John, of further mention. 2. Hannah, born April 15, 1658, died March 8, 1680. 3. Deborah, born August 16. 1662, died November 8, 1736. 4. Abiel, born June 13, 1667, died July 2, 1667. 5.

(II) John (2). son of John (1) and Mag- clalen ( Bullard) Partridge, was born in Med- field, Massachusetts, September 21, 1656. He settled in what was later known as Millis, that portion of Medfield lying west of the Charles river. He was one of the first to settle in that section and was active in having it set off as the town of Medway. In 1710 he was chosen master of the school established for the resi- dents of the west side. He was a deacon of the Medway church and quite prominent in

the town. He was present at Deerfield when the news came of the return of the captives taken at the Deerfield massacre, and is said to have made a copy of Benjamin Waite's letter, announcing their arrival at Albany, New York, which, in company with John Plimpton, he brought to Medfield and delivered to Rev. John Willson, by whom it was forwarded to the governor of the colony. He married (first). December 24, 1678, Elizabeth Rockwood, born in Medfield.
