Two or more of his nephews also settled there. Aaron Way was a proprictor of Dorchester in 1640; freeman. May 7, 1641 ; bought a farm at Rumney Marsh, jointly with William Ireland, February 19. 1651, and removed to Boston ; gave bond for his brother, Richard Way, 1657 ; was dismiss- ed to the new church at Boston, with his wife and William Ireland, February 3. 1660-61 ; his will is dated August 25, and proved Septem- ber 26, 1695. Richard Way was a cooper by trade, lieutenant of the Dorchester company, was admitted to the church, May 5, 1643, and freeman, April 27, 1657; removed to Boston and was admitted townsman, April 27, 1657 : deposed, in 1666, that his age was forty-two. There was a Widow Way in Dorchester, Feb- ruary 23, 1646, perhaps mother of Aaron and Richard, and sister-in-law of Henry. There is reason to believe that her husband was George Way, mentioned in the Dorchester records, January 2, 1637-38, as having had a grant of land formerly. Henry Way is digni- fied with the prefix Mr., which, at that time, indicated some rank or social station. He came with the first company of pioneers, and carried on a fishing business. His boat saved three shipwrecked men off the coast, July 26, 1631, and two other boats of his were lost. five men being killed by the Indians, and two drowned in 1633. He was admitted to the church, May 5, 1643. His wife Elizabeth died June 3, 1665, aged eighty-four. Children : George, mentioned below : Samuel ; Henry Jr .; Richard; Elizabeth; another son was lost in the winter passage of the ship "Lion," charter- ed by the governor and council to go to Bristol, England, for food for the colonies, December or January, 1650-51.
(II) George, son of Henry Way, was born in England, about 1620, died at Saybrook, Connecticut, about 1690. While he was living in Boston, with the remainder of the family, mentioned above, he supported Roger Will- iams, and, though not among the original twelve founders of Rhode Island, he soon followed, about 1657, and, after the town of Providence was burned, he settled in Saybrook. He mar- ried, in Boston, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Joanna Smith. While in Boston he shared
in a division of the Neck Lands, now South Boston, in 1637. He took the oath of allegiance, May 31, 1661. Children : Elizabeth, born March 19, 1651, Boston ; George, settled in New Lon- don, died February 23, 1717; Thomas, men- tioned below.

(V) Thomas (2), son of David Way, was born at East Haven, October 25, 1729 (town records). Another date given, November 5. 1728, is evidently obtained from his age at death, the change of the calendar, in 1752, dropping eleven days, accounting for the dif- ference between October 25, and November 5. It frequently happens that the age on grave- stones or death records is a year too great. He married Zillah -- , born July 25, 1734. Chil- dren, born at Northfield, Connecticut : Titus.

(IV) George Howard, son of Martin Mar- icle, was born at Cincinnatus, New York, June 1, 1862. He received his early education in the district schools of his native town. His first business experience was a year as clerk in a general store, at Harford, New York. He came to the town of McGraw, New York, in 1876, and has made his home there since. For several years he worked as clerk in a store. and, in 1891, engaged in business on his own account, in partnership with Holland C. Jolin- son, under the firm name of Maricle & John- son. Besides conducting a general store, the firm had coal and wood yards connected with the Cortland & Homer Traction Company, and was the largest buyer of country produce in the town. In 1904 the junior partner sold his interest to Mr. Maricle, who has continued the business alone since that time. A recent publi- cation described his business thus : "He does a large business, his trade extending through a wide area, including many families in Mc- Graw, who purchase nearly all of their house- hold supplies from him. This activity in the store is due largely to the fact that anything needed in staple and fancy dry goods, dress goods, notions, boots and shoes, house furnish- ings, groceries, fruits, vegetables, etc., can be had there at prices a little bit less than are charged by competitors. No retail merchant makes the profits some people imagine, par- ticularly in these times of the high cost of liv-
ing ; hence we say 'little less'in prices, compared with those other merchants get." Four clerks are employed by Mr. Maricle, there is a well regulated free delivery service, telephone con- nections, and the premises are lighted evenings by gas generated in the basement. The store occupies all the buildings, except the front room on the second floor, which is used by the telephone company as a local exchange.
In politics Mr. Maricle is a Republican of prominence. He has been a member of the board of trustees of the incorporated village of McGraw, of the board of education and is now treasurer of the village and of the water board. For six years he was town clerk and he is now serving his second term as super- visor of the town. He is a prominent member of the board of supervisors of the county. Ile is a member of Cortlandville Lodge, No. 470. Free and Accepted Masons ; of McGrawville Lodge, No. 320, Odd Fellows, and of the En- campment and Canton in Cortland. He is keenly interested in music and his voice has been well trained. He has been, for many years, leader of the Corset City Band, and a member of the Male Quartette, of McGraw. which has made more than a local reputation. Mr. Maricle is a self-made man of the finest type, a substantial and useful citizen, whose integrity, enterprise and public spirit have made him known throughout the county and brought to him, especially in his own town, the esteem and confidence of the community. In religion he is a Presbyterian.
He married, January 18, 1883. Cora E. Graves, born in McGraw, daughter of Walter and Emma (Giles) Graves, of McGraw. They have one daughter, Goldie Emma, born Octo- ber 16, 1888.
LOUNSBERRY This name, written also Lounsbury, is not given in "Patronymica Brit- tanica," or any other commonly used work on British surnames, and books of Heraldry do not mention it. It seems to be an English local name, although not common. The immigrant, Richard Lounsbury, settled at Rye, New York. which was an English settlement, and he is believed to have been an Englishman. There is nothing to support the theory that it is an Anglicized form of a French surname, except the fact that New Rochelle, an adjoining town. was settled by French Huguenots. Richard Lounsbury, as he spelled his name, settled first
