BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES:

28th year, when he married Sarah M. Harring- ton, who was born July 18, 1817, in Benniug- ton Co., Vt., and daughter of Henry and Sarah (Manchester) Harrington. He was boru Feb. 14, 1770, in Exeter, Washington Co., R. I., and was a son of Henry Harrington .. Sarah Manchester was born July 24, 1800, near the " Whiteside Church," in West Cambridge, Washington Co., N. Y. Her father's name was Elias, a native of England, and a soldier iu the war of the Revolution, and participated iu the battles of Bunker Hill aud Lexington, and was at Valley Forge, and afterward died of camp dysentery. Mr. Cole's grandfather, Harrington, was a commissioned Captain, and, during the war, had charge of the mail and attended to the transportation of the provisions for the soldiers. At one time during the war, the French fleet, having left on shore a large quantity of flour in barrels, and, not being able to convey it away with them in their haste, piled the same up in a circle and built a fire iu the center, leaving it to burn. Capt. Harrington discovered it in time-put out the fire, and saved the flour for a better use. The Man- chester family were of Quaker origin, Mrs. Cole's grandmother's maiden name was Boyce. After the marriage of Mr. Cole, he located on land which he had purchased in Jackson of Squire Clark, where he remained until his re- moval to this county, which occurred in the spring of 1853, and made a purchase of 64 acres of Edward Starr, the original settler. He has since made additions to the same, until he now has 87 acres in all. Of eight children born to him, but five are living-Sarah, now in Granger Township, the wife of Albert Codding ; Jane, unmarried ; Mary, Mrs. Charles Warren ; Lewis, at home, and married to Cora B. Witter ; and Henrietta, wife of Griffin Foote. Mr. Cole is a true representative of that sturdy, indus- trious class of New England farmers, so noted for their thrift and enterprise.

WILLIAM A. CARLTON, farmer ; P. O. Whittlesey ; is among the pioneers of this township, and is now residing on the farm he settled on in 1834. He was born Feb. 7, 1812, near Santa Cruz, twenty miles up the river from Cornwall, Lower Canada, and son of Solomon and Nabbie (Haven) Carlton, both natives of Old Groton, Mass. His birth occurred in No- vember, 1773, and he died June 13, 1856. The family of Carltons are of Scotch origin. Will-

iam A.'s grandfather had five children --- Solomou, Eri, William, Rebecca and Betsey. Solomon Carltou removed to St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., when W. A. was 11 years of age, remain- ing there until 1827, when he removed to Port- age Co., this State, purchasing a tract of land in the woods, where he settled, and remained upon it until his decease, June 13, 1859. Will- iam was, early in life, inured to hardships and the inconveniences incident to the settlement of a new country, and, with the experience fresh in mind which he passed through while a member of his father's household, he was fully prepared to undertake the task of pioneering on his own account. In 1834, he first came to this town- ship and bought 1083 acres where he now owns, and for which he paid $3.75. After locating his land, went to Medina, where he spent the winter, returning to his place the spring following, and began clearing up his land by cutting down six acres. He then worked out by the month until the time arrived for him to begin logging, pre- paratory to sowing it in wheat that fall. The ensuing winter, he cut seven acres more, a por- tion of which he planted in corn. Keeping bachelor's hall became rather irksome, and he sought the hand of Miss Lydia A. Thomas in marriage-one of his old schoolmates. Their nuptials were celebrated Nov. 11, 1836. She was boru in Adams Township, Jefferson Co., March 1, 1818, daughter of Benajah C. and Nabbic (Sanger) Thomas, both natives of Con- necticut-he of Roxbury, she of Norwich. His father's name was David Thomas, while her pa- ternal ancestor was Abijah Sanger. The Thomas family are of Welsh and the Sanger's of French descent. Mrs. Carlton's family came to Portage Co. in 1818, and located in Hudson Township, where they lived until she was 13, when they removed to Streetsboro Town- ship. There were twelve children in the fam- ily, eight sons and four daughters. Eleven lived to grow up. There are now living Calvin, in Ft. Wayne, Ind. ; Marviu R., in Columbiana Co., Wis .; Laura, widow of David Hall, and Nancy, Mrs. Audrew Wilson, both of Summit Co. After Mr. Carlton's marriage, he started the next day for his cabin home, which was 18x24 feet, and which he had previously built for her reception. They lived in this until 1844, when they built the residence they now occupy. Their union has been blessed with a family of twelve children, ten of whom lived to
