in the Campbellite church, then in other churches. In 1849 the cholera came. No one had thought of this being contagious, but it proved so to an alarming extent and with ap- palling results. The streets were in a terrible condition, all business was suspended, the water in the Ohio river was very low, and as no one had ever heard of boiling water to kill the germs, this added greatly to the spread of the disease. Physicians had no knowledge of how to deal with it, and the ravages and death rate were fearful. The schools were closed and I came home to Vermont. I had hoped for a vacation of three months, but conditions improved more rapidly than expected and I had only six weeks. I returned and taught in Cincinnati two years longer, when I was asked to go to Dayton, Ohio, a small city of ten thousand inhabitants, sixty miles away, and teach in a ladies' school called Cooper Seminary. I went, and while in Dayton I became engaged to Mr. Wheeler, whom I had
met in Cincinnati, and at the end of the school year I went home to Vermont, and on the 8th of September, 1852, we were married."
(VIII) William Egbert
WHEELER Wheeler, son of William F. Wheeler (q. v.) and his first
wife, Flora Atkins, was born in Mayville, now a part of Portville, Cattaraugus county, New York, November 21, 1843, died at his home in Portville, April 28, 191I.
His boyhood was spent in Portville, and his early education obtained in the public schools of that village and of Olean. Later he attended school at Deposit, New York, the home of his Grandfather Wheeler, and his father, finishing his preparatory studies at Cortland Academy, Homer, New York. He entered the sophomore class at Hamilton Col- lege, but after a year there entered Yale Uni- versity, from whence he was graduated with honors with the famous class of '66. While at Yale he was interested in athletics, and in his senior year rowed on the University crew in the annual Yale-Harvard race. Re- turning from college he engaged in business with his father and brother Nelson and the Dusenburys, who were heavily interested in and around Portville and Western Pennsyl- vania in the lumber business established in 1834 by William F. and Henry Dusenbury, and which is still carried on by their descend- ants. In 1870, he and his partners established a tannery which they operated for thirty years until its sale to the American Hide and Leather Company. William E. Wheeler was the active manager of this department of the firm's business, which for the greater part of the time traded under the firm name of the Portville Tanning Company. He was also for many years active in the management of a tannery owned by the same interests, lo- cated at Hickory, Pennsylvania, near the lum- ber mills of Wheeler & Dusenbury. In 1878 oil was found on the lands of Wheeler & Du- senbury. Wells were bored and the firm pro- fited largely through the production of oil. Shortly after 1880 Mr. Wheeler became a stockholder of the Chicago Lumbering Com- pany of Michigan, and of other companies operating at Manistique, in the upper penin- sula. He was elected a director and was ac- tive in the management of these companies, and at the time of his death was president of the Chicago Lumbering Company. In

1900, having disposed of his tanning inter- ests, he visited the Pacific coast, spending sev- eral months. The fine timber of that section attracted his attention, and soon afterward he began making purchases in California and Oregon. He invested largely, and at the time of his death was president of the Lagoon Lumber Company, the Rogue River Timber Company, the Wheeler Timber Company and the Manistique Lumber Company-corpora- tions owning timber in the west. He was also prominent in the world of finance. He was elected vice-president of the First National Bank of Olean, holding that office until his death. He was one of the incorporators of the Commonwealth Trust Company of Buf- falo, serving on the board of directors from its organization until his death. He was president for several years of the Acme Mill- ing Company of Olean. He was always deeply interested in the welfare of his native town ; he was president of the school board when the new school building was erected. and was always a warm friend of the cause of public education. He donated liberally toward the erection of the postoffice and op- era house, and could always be counted on for financial aid for any worthy cause. He was an active Republican all his life, served six terms as supervisor from the town of Portville, 1882-86 inclusive, and in 1888. He was president of the village corporation of Portville, and a member of the school board. In 1892 he represented the first district of Cattaraugus county in the state assembly, and the following year was elected from the whole county. In 1900 he again represented the first district. He served with honor in the legislature and left a record for energy and zeal in behalf of his constituency. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church, which he joined in boyhood. After the death of his father he was elected to succeed him as an elder of the Portville church. He was for many years a trustee and for several years president of the Western New York Society for the Protection of Homeless and Dependent Children, which society maintains the children's home at Randolph.

He was engaged in the practice of his profession in Buffalo, New York, until January 1, 1910, with the law firm Moot, Sprague, Brownell

John Mersereau was a native of France, and a Protestant. In his youth he was pos- sessed of great physical strength. He stud- ied law, but, disliking the confinement of study, learned the trade of saddler. He was captain of a military company armed with pikes, the members of which attained great skill in the use of that weapon. One evening he met three men habited as friars, whom he saluted, saying "Good evening. gentlemen." They immediately charged him with being a Protestant. otherwise he would have said "Good evening, fathers." He replied, "I know of but one Father, who is in Heaven." They then drew their sabres, which were con- cealed under their cloaks, and attacked him. In defending himself he killed one and

(The Hubbell Line).
The Hubbell family, of Wales and Eng- land, is of Danish origin, not improbably de- scended from Hubba, a Danish invader of Britain in the ninth century. From this fam- ily the American Hubbells are presumably descended.

In 1662 he was tried for sedition against the colonial government, hav- ing joined Dr. Bray Rossiter in the signing of two political papers, which were offensive to the authorities of the colony. He after- ward removed to Fairfield county, Connecti- cut, where in 1685 he was one of the proprie- tors of the town of Fairfield. His final place of residence was within the present limits of Bridgeport. He was a planter and extensive landowner, a leading citizen, and apparently had some knowledge of surveying. He mar- ried (first) in 1650, Elizabeth, daughter of John and -- (Fry) Meigs, who died before 1673. Her grandfather, Vincent Meigs, was

CROWLEY The founding in America of this branch of the Crowley family is at once romantic and tragic. The founder of the family and captain of a sailing vessel, about 1720, put into the harbor of Newburyport, Massachu- setts, for the purpose of having much needed repairs made to his vessel. During the two months required to make the repairs he wooed and married a farmer's daughter about two miles distant. After their marriage hie re- sumed his voyage. Nothing further was ever heard of vessel or crew; presumably they were all lost at sea. The young wife remained in Newburyport, where she gave birth to a son, Abraham.
(II) Abraham, Crowley, only child of the foregoing, married, in 1741, - Capen, a descendant of the emigrant, Bernard Capen, of England. Children: 1. Royal, born 1766; enlisted from the town of Attleboro, Massa- chusetts, at the age of sixteen years. April 11, 1782, for a term of three years. He died
in Mt. Holly, Vermont, 1856, in his ninety- first year. 2. George, the second son was a Quaker. 3. Walter, of whom further. 4. John, of whom further. 5. Ellis.
(III) John, son of Abraham Crowley, mar- ried Butterworth. Children: William; Noah ; Martin ; Rufus, of whom further ; Mil- ton ; Newton : John, and one daughter. They moved from Mt. Holly, Vermont, to Massena, New York, about 1826. He was a farmer, and lived there until his death. He was very prominent in Masonic circles, and during the Morgan trouble, anti-Masonic feeling becanie so strong in Vermont that Mr. Crowley de- cided to move to New York state.
(IV) Rufus, son of John Crowley, was a resident of Mt. Holly, Rutland county, Ver- mont, 1800, died 1872. He was a clerk in early life, then became a merchant. He was a prominent man in his town, captain of mi- litia, member of state assembly, and a leader in the church. In 1841 he removed to York- shire, Cattaraugus county, New York, where he formed a partnership with L. D. Cobb, and established a general store. He also owned a farm and a hotel in the town. In 1846 he was elected to the state assembly from Yorkshire. In 1848 he removed to Ran- dolph, same county, purchased a half interest in the firm of A. & A. Crowley, which he sold in 1852 and engaged in business alone, and in 1858 he sold all his business interests and retired. In 1857 he was again elected to the state assembly. For many years he was justice of the peace and in politics an ardent Whig, later a Republican. He was a member of the Baptist church and a good man in every sense of the word. Among his treasures was a sword carried in the revolutionary war, by Royal Crowley, who died in Mt. Holly, Ver- mont. He married his cousin, Permelia Crow- ley, born 1800, died 1851, daughter of Walter Crowley. Children, all born in Mt. Holly, Vermont : I. Marcella, died in 1848. 2.
