(IV) Charles Porter, son of Hopkins Por- ter Moore, was born in Towanda, Pennsyl- vania. August 29, 1842, died there January 6, 1889. He was educated in the public schools of his native town and at the Eastman Busi- ness College at Poughkeepsie, New York. For ten years he was associated with his father in the management of his general store, and for ten years he was in the mining business. having been superintendent of various mines. The last years of his life were spent in asso- ciation with his son in the general store at Towanda. He married, May 4. 1865, Eliza- heth McCabe. of Philadelphia, daughter of George McCabe. Children: 1. George Hop- kins, mentioned below. 2. Jeannette, married John Dayton, of Towanda : children : Mary, Harry.
(\') George Hopkins, son of Charles Por- ter Moore, was born April 17, 1866, at St. Paul, Minnesota, in a house on the site now occupied by the postoffice. He came with his parents to Towanda, Pennsylvania, when a small boy and was educated there in the pub- lic schools. He began his business career as clerk in a dry goods store, owned by a Mr. Fitch at Towanda. Afterward he was en- ploved for a year by Blight & Garrett, at Ber- win, Pennsylvania, and with Patch & Packer, in a general store at Sayre, Pennsylvania, for
a year and a half. In 1882 he engaged in business for himself in Towanda, dealing in groceries, wholesale and retail, and he has continued in this business with marked suc- cess to the present time, the business being conducted under the name of the George H. Moore Fruit and Produce Company. In 1902 he established a wholesale store in Waverly and conducted it until October 25. 1906, when it was incorporated as the George H. Moore Company, of which he is president and general manager. Since 1907 he has made his home in Waverly. He is a member of Free and Ac- cepted Masons of Towanda, Royal Arch Ma- sons, Royal and Select Masters, and Knights Templar. He attends the Presbyterian church of Waverly.
He married, October 15. 1800, Isabelle Spaulding, of Troy, Bradford county, Penn- sylvania, daughter of John J. and Ancissa (Angell ) Spaulding. Children : Elizabeth. born December 31, 1891 ; Agnes, October I, 1893.
William Hone, of London,
PARSONS one of the judges of Guild- hall, had two sons, Thomas Hone, gentleman, and John Hone, doctor of civil law. Thomas had a son William, counsel- lor at law, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Parsons, gentleman, of Stortford. Essex. John Hone had a son Bartholomew who married Jane Pynchon, sister of Sir Ed- ward Pynchon, knight, of Writtles, Essex, and first cousin of William Pynchon, of Spring- field, Massachusetts. Thus Elizabeth, daugh- ter of Thomas Parsons, of Essex, was sister- in-law of William Pynchon's first cousin, Sir Edward and Jane Pynchon. William Pynchon must have known of this connection. He was a Puritan. Among the pilgrims of the congre- gation of Rev. John Robinson at Leyden. prior to the sailing of the "Mayflower." was Joseph Parsons, of Colchester, Essex, perhaps father or uncle of Cornet Joseph Parsons. At Spring- field, Massachusetts, William Pynchon was a fur trader, and Cornet Joseph Parsons also be- came a fur trader and Pynchon's successor in the trade. At the same time there is re- corded in Essex the marriage of Abigail. daughter of John Parsons. Cornet Joseph and Benjamin Parsons, of Springfield, and Thom- as Parsons, of Windsor, Connecticut, all had daughters named Abigail. and both Cornet Jo- seph and Thomas had sons named John, while

the name of Richard Parsons who went to Windsor and returned to England is that of several first earls of Rosse, originally from Norfolk, adjacent to Essex, England. From these facts it is supposed that Joseph Parsons and Pynchon's younger son left England at about the same time young Parsons joining his Pynchon connections in Springfield, and young Pynchon accompanying or following his Parsons connections to the Barbadoes. Sub- sequently the prospects of Cornet Joseph be- came promising enough to induce his father to come from Devonshire to visit the settlements at Windsor, Hartford and Springfield, bring- ing with him Joseph's brothers Benjamin, Thomas of Windsor and perhaps Samuel, afterwards in Easthampton, Long Island. Their Devonshire connection, Jeffrey Parsons, went first to the Barbadoes and then settled at Gloucester, Massachusetts.
(III) Joseph Stoddard Parsons, a descend- ant of Cornet Joseph Parsons (q. v.), in the sixth or seventh generation, was a son of Col- onel Lorenzo Parsons and grandson of Jacob Parsons.
He was born near the town of Lisle, now Barker, Broome county, New York. He was a farmer and an extensive dealer in lum- ber and live stock. His home was in Barker and he took a prominent part in town affairs and held various offices of trust and honor. For a number of years he was supervisor of the town, was chairman of the board of super- visors of Broome county, and for some years was president of the Broome County Agricul- tural Society. In politics he was a staunch Republican.
Mr. Parsons married Mary Antoinette Hubbard. Children : I. Edward Warner, born April 16, 1858; married Minnie Phillips, one son Joseph. 2. Alma Hubbard, March 28, 1865 ; married John L. Beach ; children : Rob- ert, Edward and Myrta Fannie. 3. Robert Swan, mentioned below. 4. Clara May, April 8, 1869; married William E. Amsbry. 5.
Fannie P., died young.
(IV) Hon. Robert Swan Parsons, son of Joseph Stoddard and Mary Antoinette ( Hub- bard ) Parsons, was born in the town of Bar- ker, New York, on the homestead which he now owns, May 8, 1867. He received his early education in the district schools and at Whitney Point Academy. He studied his pro- fession in the Law School of Cornell Univer- city and was graduated in the class of 1889.
He was admitted to the bar in Syracuse, New York, in May, 1890, and began to practice law in Binghamton, New York, soon afterward, in partnership with Harry C. Perkins, under the firm name of Perkins & Parsons. The law firm continued with abundant success until 1899 when the partnership was dissolved.
His first important case to which the public attention was attracted was the defence of Mary E. Foote, indicted for murder in the first degree. He won the case and his client was acquitted. Subsequently he was appointed upon an order of the supreme court of the state of New York to assist H. C. Perkins, then district attorney, in the prosecution of Mrs. Thurston who was indicted for murder in the first degree. A conviction was secured, but owning to the misconduct of one of the jurors a new trial was granted. He again as- sisted the government. The second trial re- sulted in acquittal. In 1899 he was a candi- date for the office of county judge and surro- gate, against Hon. Taylor L. Arms, who was completing a second term in the office and had the support of the entire Republican organiza- tion, including every postmaster in Broome county, all the county officers and virtually all the former officers of the county and all the city officials. It was said that alone and unaided he had defeated the entire Republican organization, an event unprecedented in the political history of the county. Judge Par- sons has always been a Republican, and the result of the political campaigns in which he has taken part have proved his ability as a political leader and his wide influence among the voters of the county. In 1906 he was given a unanimous renomination in the Re- publican county convention, and he defeated at the polls Jonas DeWitt, the Democratic nominee, having the support of many prom- inent Democrats as well as of the united Re- publican party. His county and Cortland county elected delegates to the judicial dis- trict convention to support him for justice of the supreme court, but he withdrew from the field, because it seemed fair to allow the nom- ination to go to another section of the dis- trict.
As a jurist Judge Parsons has achieved a high reputation for learning, and his decis- ions have stood the test of appeal and have almost without exception been confirmed by the higher courts. He married, May 6, 1903, Mary Elizabeth Terwilliger.

HALL Jonathan Hall was born in Con- necticut. as family tradition states that he served in the revolution and was wounded in the battle of Bunker Hill. A Jonathan Hall from the vicinity of Hart- ford. Connecticut, was in Captain Samuel Wyllis's company, as fifer at Boston, May 6 to December 15. 1775. Wyllis was of Hart- ford. The Hartford records are wanting, and it has not been possible to trace his ancestry to any of the Hall families, which were very numerous in Connecticut. Another Jonathan Hall was in Captain Ezekiel Scott's company in the revolution, and a third was a soldier in a company from Plainfield, Connecticut. In Massachusetts a half dozen Jonathan Halls served in the revolution. In 1790, according to the first federal census, three Jonathan Halls were heads of families and in Connecti- cut no less than five.

He was one of the commissioners to put In- dian children to service in 1675, and the same vear a commissioner to rebuild Lancaster, Massachusetts, after it had been burned by the Indians. He was a friend and counsellor of the converted Indians who in 1691 petitioned the general court that "Captain Thomas Pren- tice may be appointed their overseer and mag- istrate." In 1705 he settled his estate by gift deeds. He died July 6. 1710, "on Sunday, in consequence of a fall from his horse on re- turning from church and was buried under arms by the company of troop, July 8. 1710. in the old burying ground in Newton."
