(III) James Burdette, son of Charles C. and Jerusha (Dennis) Wright, was born at Coleville, September 4, 1856. There he received a public school education. As soon as he was of sufficient age, he began working for his father in the lumber business, and he worked with him until he was twenty-one. In 1877 he bought sixty acres of timber land at Cole- ville ; from this he cut the timber, had the logs sawed at his father's mill, and sold the lumber in the oil country. Two years later he bought from Henry Hamlin another piece of timber at McCord Hollow, and again he sold his manufactured products in the oil region. After this he bought a much larger tract at Farmer's Valley and another, later, at Rexford. He manufactured the lumber until 1898, when he formed a partnership with D. H. Miller, under the firm name of Wright & Miller. They went to Nansen, Elk county, Pennsylvania, which was named by Mr. Wright in honor of the intrepid Arctic explorer, and here they con- ducted their business until 1910. The busi- ness having greatly increased, they built the Elk and Highland railroad. A large mill which they built was destroyed by fire, but they re- built. They cleared several thousand acres of timber, manufactured the lumber, and in two years shipped over twenty-five million feet of hemlock. Meanwhile, they had erected an- other mill at Springer, Mckean county, which manufactured fifty thousand feet of hemlock per day. There they built about three miles of standard gauge railroad. Their next pur- chase was of nine thousand five hundred acres of timber in Cattaraugus county, New York, and there they built about seven miles of stand- ard guage railroad. This road was incorporated under the name of the Tunasassa and Brad- ford Railroad Company ; Mr. Wright is a stock- holder and vice-president, and he holds the same office, with that of treasurer, in the Elk and Highland Railroad Company. Since 1896 he has had his home at Kane, Mckean county, and in the present year (1912) he has begun
a wholesale lumber business at this place. For thirty-three years consecutively he has now been engaged in the manufacture of lumber. He is a stockholder and president of the Nan- sen Supply Company, stockholder and director in the Quaker Supply Company and in the Wright and Miller Company. He is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, at Bradford, and of the Independent Order of Puritans, in Pittsburgh. He is a Republican and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He married, January 9, 1877, Kate Helen, daughter of Alfred and Sythere (Snyder ) Matteson, who was born at Bradford, Penn- sylvania, July 17, 1857. There she attended public school, and graduated in 1874 from the high school. Her father was a native of Penn- sylvania, a farmer at Bradford. In 1861 he enlisted in the Union army, and he was drown- ed in the James river in 1864. His widow was born at Sardinia, New York, May 27, 1829, and now resides at Coleville. Mrs. Wright is their only child. She is a member of the Lady Maccabees, at Kane. Her church is the Meth- odist Episcopal. Child of James Burdette and Kate Helen ( Matteson ) Wright : Isabelle, born at Coleville, October 18, 1879; married Henry Curtis; they reside in Pittsburgh, and he is superintendent of a telephone company ; they have one son, Lester, born at Kane, June 4, 1900.
HURLEY-BARRY The earliest records obtainable of the Hur- ley family in Ireland are found in county Cork, where Grandfather Hurley in 1785 was thrown from a horse and instantly killed.

They were born Roman Catholics, which is still the family faith. They had two children, one of whom was Jerry, of whom further.

John Barry obtained his education in the public schools, and when he was eighteen years of age immigrated to the United States and was employed on a farm in Rome, New York, for two years, later coming to Erie, Pennsyl- vania, and obtaining a position in the freight department of the Lake Shore railroad. All his savings were invested in the oil fields, so he soon gave up his situation at Erie, going to Westmoreland county, where he was driller and part owner of the first oil well opened in the county. Later he drilled one of the first wells of the "Gas City," a venture which proved to be such a great success that he formed the firm of Barry & Shirk to further develop the resources of that region. His oper- ations were uniformly successful, and he pros- pered to such an extent that at his death the value of his estate was estimated at a million dollars. This was indeed a marvelous achieve- ment for a penniless immigrant and farm hand. The secret, however, of his great success lay not in any lucky turn of the wheel of fortune, but in his frugality and saving habits in early years, his pluck and strength of character, his determination to succeed, characteristics, which if rightly and honestly directed, cannot fail to batter down all obstacles, and enable the pos- sessor to reach those heights which only the most deserving can attain. He was an excel- lent conversationalist, possessed of a keen wit and ready tongue. His power in dealing with and handling men was due largely to his ability to determine their moods, and his tact in deal- ing with them. He belonged to the United Workmen of America, and other societies. Children of John and Ellen (Hurley) Barry : I.

WILLIAMS The name of Williams is very ancient and probably extends throughout the civil- ized world. Most of the original members of the family were doubtless of Welsh extraction. They form a large part of the principality of Wales in England1, somewhat like the O's in Ireland and the Mac's in Scotland. "Burke's Peerage" says of Sir Robert Williams, the ninth baronet of the house of Williams of Penryhn, that "His family is lineally descended from Marchudel of Cynn, Lord of Abergelen in Denbighshire, of one of the fifteen tribes of
North Wales, who lived in the time of Roderic Mann ( Roderic the Great ) King of the Britons, about the year 849. From him was descended the royal house of Tudor. The lineage of Marchudel is traced from Brutus the first King of the Britons."
The family is one of the most notable in New England, where over forty families of the name settled before 1700. The branch herein recorded springs from the Connecticut family located at Lebanon, who descend from Rev. Solomon Williams, D. D., of Lebanon, who was a half-brother of Elisha Williams, of Wethersfield, born in Hatfield, August 24, 1694, son of William Williams. The founder of the family in Pennsylvania is Shuabel Wil- liams, who is the grandfather of George D. Williams, of Bradford, Pennsylvania.
(I) Shuabel Williams was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, died in Ararat, Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, May 14, 1867, after a residence in the latter town of fifty-five years. He was an old man at the time of his death, had been a pillar of the Methodist Episcopal church for over a half a century ; cast his first presidential vote for Thomas Jefferson, and his last for Abraham Lincoln. He was a farmer by occupation, both in Connecticut and in Pennsylvania. He moved to Ararat, Susque- hanna county, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in farming until his death. He set- tled in Ararat, in September, 1812, going there from Lebanon, Connecticut, with his wife and one child. He and his wife were of the num- ber who first united to sustain the gospel there, and for over fifty years nearly every Sunday he could be found in his seat at church. He married , who died in Ararat, October 10, 1871. Children : 1. Samuel, died in Bing- hamton, New York; married and had a fam- ily ; his son, Wellington W., was station master in Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, for twenty years, then was transferred to Bing- hamton. 2.

(II) Ralph, son of Shuabel Williams, was born in Ararat, Pennsylvania, September 8, 1822, died in the hospital at Suffolk, Virginia, February 1, 1863. He was educated in the public school and became a farmer of the town of Thompson, Susquehanna county, Pennsyl- vania. He was a Republican in politics, serv- ing as constable and tax collector of the town- ship. He was a soldier of the civil war, serv- ing in Company E, One Hundred and Seventy- seventh Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry, and was confined in the hospital at Suffolk, Vir- ginia, where he died of typhoid fever.

His parents moved to Susquehanna county, Pennsylvania, in 1856, settling in Thompson township, where he attended the public school. After the death of his mother in 1860 he went to relatives in Napoli, New York, where he completed his education in Chamberlain Insti- tute. After leaving the institute he began work on a farm in Conewango, Cattaraugus county, continuing one year, and working the following two years in the creameries and cheese factories of Conewango. In 1874 he began working in the cheese factory at Elm Creek, Cattaraugus county, and in 1875 in asso- ciation with his brother Chauncey, he purchased the plant. They continued together in success- ful business for two years, then George D. purchased Chauncey's interest and alone con- ducted the cheese-making business until 1888. In the spring of that year he was sent to Kan- sas as superintendent of a creamery and cheese factory there. Six months later he sold his Elm Creek factory, and in the spring of 1890 returned to Cattaraugus county, working as clerk in the store of F. W. Adams, at East Randolph. In the autumn of 1890 he moved to Bradford, forming a partnership with Eu- gene J. Boyle, and until 1900 conducted a suc- cessful grocery business under the firm name of Boyle & Williams.

CAMPBELL A family of this name in Scotland can be traced to the beginning of the fifth cen- tury, and the name has become one of promi- ence, especially in military affairs. At Bal- haldie, Scotland, there is an old church, whose churchyard can never be sold and in which no one not a Campbell can ever be buried.
(I) Prince Campbell, the first member of this family about whom we have definite in- formation, was a Scottish Jacobite, and was therefore exiled with his wife to France. He married Lady Elizabeth Stewart. Children : I. Patrick, commissary for the British army ; bought cattle all over the world to supply the army; stock farmer at Perth, Scotland; re- moved to Australia ; he died, leaving a fortune of half a million pounds in the Bank of Eng- land, besides real estate; although this should belong to the Campbell family, it cannot be claimed, as the letters of proof have been destroyed by fire. 2. Dougall, of whom fur- ther.
(II) Dougall, son of Prince and Lady Eliz- abeth (Stewart) Campbell, was private secre- tary to the Duke of Richmond. He became captain of the old Forty-second Highlanders, known as the "Black Watch." This company was disbanded after the Ashburton treaty, and officers and men received grants of land in New Brunswick, Canada; Captain Dougall Campbell received one thousand acres. He married -- Drummond. Children : Alex- ander, of whom further; Patrick, married Ann Ross Monroe ; Ludlow, married Sarah -; Jacobina, engaged to Sir Colin Campbell ; Ann.
