(11]) Andrew L., son of Jehiel (2) King. was born in Vernon, Oneida county, New York, May 19, 1807. He received the limited education that could be obtained at the dis- trict school. He was apprenticed to learn the trade of cabinet maker, and after serving his apprenticeship he came to Binghamton, New York, to work at his trade. He started in business on his own account as a chair mant- facturer, but in a time of financial stringency failed, and after turning his property over to his creditors he moved to Kirtland, Ohio, and worked as a journeyman cabinet maker, sav-


ing his wages and sending money back to Bing- hamton until he had paid every dollar of his indebtedness. From Kirtland he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, which was then the prin- cipal city of that state, and started in busi- ness again as a manufacturer of chairs. After several years he became junior partner in the wholesale dry goods firm of King, Corwin & Company, of which the senior partner was his younger brother, J. W. King. In the fall of 1861 the firm was reorganized and he with- drew. Early in 1862, in partnership with two others, he opened a wholesale dry goods store at Leavenworth, Kansas, under the name of Fairchild, King & Higinbotham. The partners were not harmonious, and Mr. King sold his interest and became a partner in the whole- sale dry goods firm of Thompson & Woodruff, the name becoming at that time Thompson, Woodruff & Company, of which Mr. King was buyer, and the business was flourishing and the prospects very promising when Mr. King was attacked with pneumonia and died March 25, 1865. He was of untiring industry, devoted to his family, perfectly upright in all his dealings, and of most exemplary character. He was held in high esteem in the community in which he lived. His widow returned to Binghamton after he died, bought a house at the corner of Chenango and Warren streets, and lived there the rest of her days. He married, June 10, 1833, in Binghamton, New York, Eliza L. Congdon, born July 8, 1814, daughter of Jo- seph and Sarah ( Hinds) Congdon. Her father was a son of John and Betsey (Crary) Cong- don. Joseph Jr., father of John Congdon, married Susan Turner. His father, Joseph Congdon Sr., married Martha Wells. Benja- min Congdon, father of Joseph Sr., was a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth ( Albro) Congdon, the first settlers. Children of Andrew L. King: I.

(IV) Eugene Frederick, son of Andrew L. King, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, July 28. 1847. He attended the public schools of his native town until 1863, when the family moved to Leavenworth, Kansas. By that- time he was nearly through the second year in the high school. The trip to Leavenworth was by steam- boat from Cincinnati to St. Louis, Missouri, where a change was made to another steam- boat, which took them to Leavenworth. It was a pleasant way to travel, and the recollec- tions of the trip have always been a pleasure to him. Being desirous of earning his own living, he became clerk in a small country store at Farley. Missouri, six miles from Leaven- worth, in the employ of John R. Swain, and stayed there from September, 1863, to July I, 1864. It was so short a time after the border warfare over the admission to the Union of the state of Kansas that there was still much bitterness, and while there he saw many bush- whackers and many scenes of violence. Upon returning to Leavenworth he became clerk in the dry goods store of Daniels & Millington. In October, 1864. the Confederate General Price made a raid into Missouri and threatened Kan- sas City and Independence. The militia of Kansas and Missouri was called out in defence. Mr. King was then but seventeen years old and could not be enrolled in the service with- out the consent of his father, but he secured the necessary consent and joined Company H. Captain Scott, First Regiment of Home Guards, Colonel Robinson commanding. The regiment marched out to Seven Mile Creek. October 8, and to Olathe the next day, a dis- tance of thirty-five miles. As the men were not accustomed to hard marching, being just out of stores and factories. and as they had to carry a heavy musket, ammunition, blankets and other impedimenta, the experience was severe and long to be remembered. When the regiment reached the state line between Mis- souri and Kansas, the men were informed that


the colonel could not order the regiment into another state, but that every man who loved his country could volunteer to defend her, and, asking all who would to follow him, he drew his sword and advanced into Missouri, but only thirty-two out of eight hundred men followed him, the others returning to Leavenworth. The colonel and his small following proceeded to Kansas City and thence to the scene of the battle, arriving in time to see some of the fight- ing, and to see the Confederates retiring pur- sted by Union cavalry. Many dead were left on the field. Mr. King and his brother George were with the colonel's band, and were on duty two weeks, returning on a steamboat from Kansas City to Leavenworth.


Mr. King came to Binghamton with his mother August 1, 1865, and in September that year he became a clerk in the dry goods store of D. M. & E. G. Halbert, remaining until July 1, 1869, when he went west to visit his brother at Leavenworth, and remained there about a year. He bought a share in the store of his brother-in-law, A. P. Woodworth, at Robinson, Illinois, and continued in the part- nership until 1874, when owing to ill health he withdrew from the firm and returned to Binghamton. After his marriage he entered into partnership with J. W. Berkeley and his brother G. H. King in the retail dry goods trade, with a store at Lexington, Kentucky, under the firm name of Berkeley, King & Com- pany. After a time, too close attention to business again affected his health and he was advised, if he wanted to live, to engage in some business that would keep him out-of-doors. In partnership with his brother, Lewis C. King, in the firm of E. F. & L. C. King, in the spring of 1879 he erected a plant for the manufacture of acetate of lime, wood alcohol and charcoal, in Sullivan county, New York. A small vil- lage grew up in the vicinity of the works, and it was named Acidalia. Mr. King is post- master of this village, appointed first in Janu- ary, 1882, and serving continuously to the present time. In this business his health im- proved, though he never has enjoyed good health since. He has always been an advocate of clean politics and of temperance. Within a circle of twenty-five miles of this village there were some thirty factories of the same kind. and the workmen in all of them were much addicted to drink. Mr. King used every means in his power to induce his men to keep away from liquor and urged them to save their

money. As a consequence, no less than twen- ty-five of his employees own their homes. None of the other factories can make so good a showing, largely for the reason that liquor was so easily obtainable in the other factory villages. In 1890 Mr. King bought the inter- ests of L. C. King, exchanging for it his share in the business of L. C. King & Company, of New York City. He admitted to the firm Albert Holcomb, and the name became King & Holcomb. In 1900 the business was incor- porated as the Sullivan Chemical Company.


Mr. King married, June 2, 1875, Louise E. Pratt, daughter of Hallam E. and Elizabeth Ripley (Lathrop) Pratt (see Pratt). She is clescended from Mayflower ancestry in the Rip- ley line. Elizabeth Ripley Lathrop, who mar- ried Hallam E. Pratt, was daughter of Horace and Eunice ( Ripley) Lathrop, granddaughter of Captain Ralph and Ruth ( Huntington ) Rip- ley. Joshua Ripley Jr., father of Ralph, was a son of Joshua Ripley and grandson of Joshna and Hannah ( Bradford) Ripley, Hannah was a granddaughter of Governor William Brad- ford, of the Plymouth colony, a "Mayflower" immigrant, governor of the colony. John Rip- ley, father of the first Joshua, was a son of the immigrant William Ripley.

Tradition has it that he came from Wales or the south of England, taking refuge there, but it is more likely that his parents of grandparents left France on account of relig- ious trouble. He was evidently English-speak- ing, and must have been educated in England. He became one of the leaders of the town and church. He was a miller by trade.

laid, in memory of the Bartlett ancestors, show- ing a regular lineage from John Barttelot, who died in the year 1428, to Colonel George Bart- lett, who died in 1872.

The coat-of-arms is: Sable three sinister falconer's gloves argent, arranged triangularly two above and one below, pendant bands around the wrist and tassels or. About the close of the fifteenth century the castle was granted as a crest to John Barttelot, and in the sixteenth century the Swan crest was grant- ed in commemoration of the right granted the family by William the Conqueror to keep swans in the river Arun.
