He was two years old when his father died and the family returned east. He passed his boyhood in Cattaraugus county, and with the exception of a few years in the army all his adult life was also spent there.

He carefully laid aside his sur- plus earnings until he had sufficient capital to start in mercantile life.

He enlisted as a private in Com- pany C, One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Regi- ment, New York Volunteer Infantry, which went to the front as part of the Army of the Potomac. He was a brave soldier and was rapidly promoted to the rank of corporal, ser- geant, orderly, second lieutenant and finally,
for meritorious conduct, was made captain. Before he could be mustered in, however, as captain, the battle of Gettysburg was fought and Lieutenant Winters was badly wounded in the arm, was taken prisoner, sent to a Con- federate hospital, where his arm was ampu- tated.

He was born in Grossfal, in that kingdom, in 1814, died in the town of Busti, Chautauqua county, New York, Octo- ber, 1875. He was a farmer in Sweden and kept an inn for the entertainment of travelers. He came to the United States in 1850, landing in New York City and making his way west by the Erie canal to its western terminus; Buf- falo. He did not long remain there, but went to Erie, thence to Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania. After two years there he located in Busti, Chautauqua county, New York, where he pur- chased a small farm of nine acres on the plank road, north of and near Mayville. He cleared this tract and on it made a comfortable liv- ing the remainder of his days. He was a member of the Swedish Lutheran church, and a regular attendant. Andrew Gron had broth- ers, Peter and John, who came to the United States a year or so later than he and settled in the same locality.

He re- mained in Chautauqua county working with his fathers and others until June, 1861, when he enlisted in Company F, Ninth Regiment New York Cavalry, as a private. His brother Frederick enlisted at the same time in the same company. Their terms expired together, and both at once re-enlisted and served until the close of the war. Charles left his company for a short time, volunteering for sixty days to help fill up the Eighty-fifth Regiment United States Artillery, served ninety days, then re- turned to his regiment. The brothers served through the war without injury, and on re- turning home located in Jamestown and en- gaged in the livery business, and had all their business enterprises in common. They were together in business for twenty-four years and accumulated considerable property in city real estate and farming land. When they decided to dissolve and divide their property, it was all done in ten minutes, each taking that which best suited him, the other assenting. There was no friction, and death only interrupted the lifelong devotion and association of these brothers. Charles retained the livery business and continued it in Jamestown until 1907, when he sold out and removed to Lakewood. where he continues the same business on his farm of twenty acres on Lake Chautauqua, having an extensive barn and a most desirable location.

He was fifteen years of age when he came to the United States with his father, and for many years father and son were associated in business. They first settled in Vermont, then came to New York state, set- tling in Fowlerville, Livingston county, where they engaged in farming and operated boats on the old Genesee canal from Westons Mills to Rochester. Henry then started for himself. He went to Scottsville, where he learned black- smithing, and after mastering his trade lo- cated in Kendall and opened a blacksmith shop.

He is a member of the State and County Bar as- sociation, and attends the Presbyterian church. He married, March 5, 1888, Mary Brower, born in Albion, Orleans county, New York.
The surname Brunson is BRUNSON identical with Bronson and Brownson, different branches of the family clinging to the various forms of spelling. It is not clear who Barnabas Brun- son, father of Abel, the founder of the fam- ily in Chautauqua county, descends from, but he was undoubtedly a grandson of Roger Bronson, who was born in Farmington, Con- necticut, 1692, settled in New Milford, Con- necticut, in 1703, was one of the first twelve settlers there, was treasurer and justice of the peace. He had nine children. Roger was a son of Jacob Bronson, born in Farmington, Connecticut, 1641. Jacob was a son of John Bronson, the emigrant, born in England, one of Rev. Hooker's company that settled Hart- ford, Connecticut, in 1636. He was one of the

seven founders of the church in Farmington, Connecticut, in 1652; deputy, 1651. Had four sons and two daughters.
(V) Barnabas Brunson lived in Connecti- cut during the last quarter of the eighteenth century, with his wife and family, consisting of four sons and one daughter. His wife died while the children were young, and he mar- ried a second time. Later he removed to Can- ada, one son, Orsamus, and his daughter, La- vina (married Reuben Mallory), going with him. Amasa, a son, died in Pennsylvania. Philander, another son, settled near Pitts- burg, Pennsylvania. Nothing more is known of Barnabas and his family except the fourth son, Abel.
(VI) Abel, son of Barnabas Brunson, was born in Connecticut, March 25, 1786, died at South Stockton, Chautauqua county, New York, September 30, 1861. He was but five years old when his mother died. At the age of nine he went to live in the family of Abner Ives, remaining until the death of Mr. Ives. January 15, 1809, he married Sally, the seven- teen-year-old daughter of John Love. He re- mained in Connecticut two years after his marriage, then about Christmas, 1810, with his wife and two children, started west, their ob- jective point being Chautauqua county, New York. All their worldly possessions were packed in a sleigh drawn by an ox team, with two cows tied behind the sleigh. They were about six weeks on the journey, arriving in February, 1811. They milked the cows while on their journey and put the milk into a churn, where it was churned to butter by the constant motion of the sleigh. Their first home on arriving at their journey's end was at the "Red Bird," with the family of William Barrows. Soon after they went to Pickard street, where a small colony of six or seven families had set- tled, remaining there until Abel could build a home for his family. He purchased a farm of one hundred and twenty acres in the dense woods, now South Stockton, being the first settler in that section. He built a log house, and there being no sawmill near, used split lumber for flooring and other places where boards were needed. He lived in this log home for many years, working hard, as did his wife, to clear and pay for their farm and sup- port their increasing family. As fast as he could obtain the money he would go on foot to Mavville to make payments at the land of- fice, of even the smallest sums. The difficulty
of his undertaking may be judged from the fact that he was unable to complete his pay- ments and receive his deed until twenty years after the purchase, the original debt being but three hundred dollars, and he was one in a hundred of the early settlers who were able to pay for their lands according to contract. There was no grist mill nearer than the Ken- nedy mill at Conenwango, and the only way to reach that was through the forest on foot by a trail of blazed trees, a trip taking two days. In 1818 he built a frame house and soon afterward opened a tavern, which he kept until 1838. When his sons, Alfred and Oliver, grew to manhood they assumed the responsi- bility of the farm and family, Abel and his wife spending their last years on the farm where they settled, having lived there together fifty years. Children: 1. Horace, born Sep- tember 22, 1809, died April 28, 1882, in Ar- kansas; married Mary Travers. 2.
