ENOCH WOODBRIDGE was in the Continental serv- ice in 1779, as Commissary of Issues. Soon after the close of the war he became a citizen of Vermont, residing at Vergennes, of which city he was the first Mayor. He was a member of the Assembly from 1791 until 1795, and again in 1802; a dele- gate in the Constitutional Convention of 1793; Judge of the Supreme Court from 1794 until 1801, and Chief Justice for three years of his service. He died May, 1805.


DAVID WING, JR., was born in Rochester, Mass., June 24, 1766, came to Montpelier about 1790, and for twelve years served as Town Clerk, Town Representative, and Judge of the County Court, and then was elected to the Secretaryship and was reelected to that office annually until Sept. 13, 1806. By his capacity, integrity, and gentlemanly manners he became one of the most popular of the public men of the State; he was a Federalist in politics, but the Republican Legislature of that day retained him constantly in office-this was proof of his popularitv.


STEPHEN WILLIAMS of Rutland entered upon the duties of a Councillor without any previous legislative experience, and held that office only one year, but he was a valuable officer of his town. The hospitality of his disposition towards strang- ers would alone be sufficient to endear him to all who knew him; but the same generous turn of mind led him to noble exertions of benevolence,-to cheer the broken-heart, to wipe the tears from the

pale cheek of poverty, and to bid the friendless wid- ow and orphan look up and smile. These are the actions that crowned his days, and gave to his temper that sweet serenity which only goodness can bestow.


DOCTOR JAMES WITHERELL was born in Mans- field, Mass., June 16, 1759; he descended from an English family who came to Massachusetts soon after the voyage of the Mayflower. When 16 years of age le volunteered to serve in the Revolution- ary service, and continued in that service through the Revolutionary war, was engaged in many bat- tles, once wounded, and received a commission in the 11th continental regiment of Massachusetts. When he was discharged he had seventy dollars in Continental money as the avails of eight years of military service. With this he treated a brother officer to a bowl of punch, and set out penniless to fight the battle of lite. He prepared himself for the medical profession with Doct. Billings of Mans- field, Mass., and in 1789, commenced practice at Fairhaven. In 1790, he married Amy Hawkins, a lineal descendant of Roger Williams; he represented Fairhaven from 1798 until 1802, and was elected again in 1802, but left the House and served in the Council. He was Councillor in 1802, until 1807, when he was elected to Congress, but in 1808, before his Congressional term expired, he was appointed by President Jefferson, as one of the Judges of the Territory of Michigan, an office embracing a variety of legislative and executive duties as well as judicial, and to which Witherell added important military services in the war of

1812. On the fall of Detroit, he refused to surren- der a corps which he commanded, but permitted his men to disperse, while he and his son-in-law, be- eame prisoners. On being paroled, the three re- joined the family at Fairhaven, and there remained till they were exchanged. Judge Witherell then re- sumed his office in Michigan, and held it until he was permitted, by President John Quincy Adams, to exchange the judgeship for the office of Secretary of the Territory. He was Assistant Judge of Rut- land County Court from 1801 to 1803, and Chief Justice from 1803 until 1806. He died at Detroit, Jan. 9, 1838, in his 79th year.


JUDGE ELIJAH PAINE was born in Brooklyn, Conn., January 21, 1757. While fitting for Col- lege, he abandoned his studies to serve for several months in the army of the Revolution. He grad- uated at Harvard University in 1781, and af- ter studying law for three years, he came to Ver- mont in 1784, and purchased a cultivated farm in Windsor, and afterwards, the same year he com- menced the opening of a large farm in Williams. town, which soon became, and through his life re- mained, his homestead. Much of his time, talents and money from 1786, nntil his death in 1842, was given to his farm, manufactures, various public improvements, educational and benevolent insti- tutions in which he was foremost in central Ver- mont. He was honored with the degree of Doctor of Laws by two universities, Harvard and the Ver- mont University, and he was a member of a num- ber of several societies for the advancement of arts and sciences. On the sabbath he was a constant

attendant at public worship at the Church at East Williamstown four miles from his dwelling. He represented Williamstown in the General As- sembly from 1787 until 1791; he was one of the Commissioners to settle the controversy with New York in 1789 and 1790; Delegate and Secrc- tary in the Constitutional Convention of 1786; member of the Council of Censors in 1792; Judge of the Supreme Court from 1791 to 1793; United States Senator from 1795 until 1801, to which of- fice he was reelected but declined it for the purpose of accepting from President Washington the office of Judge for the U. S. District of Vermont. This of- fice he held from 1801, until a few weeks before his death, which occurred on April 28, 1842. He was a tall, well-proportioned gentleman, dressed in the style of President Washington, of a grave countenance and dignified bearing, scornful to none and affable to all. He married Sarah Por- ter, daughter of John Porter of Plymouth, N. H .;


and had four sons and four daughters. All of the sons who reached middle age, were distuin- guished for ability and usefulness. Martyn Paine, A. M., M. D., LL. D., and member of va- rious societies in Europe and America, was born July 8, 1794, and made his residence in New York City. His reputation as the author of various medical books was high. In 1841 Martyn united with five other medical gentlemen in establishing the Medical Department of the University of New York, in which he was professor for a long time. ELIJAH, another son, was born April 10, 1796. who also made his residence in New York City,

and was author of law books, and from 1850, un- til his death, October 6, 1853, was a Judge of the Superior Court. CHARLES, was born April 15, 1799, was Governor of Vermont from 1841 to 1843, and greatly distinguished for his services in manufactures, railroads, and other public im- provements, until his death, July 6, 1853. These three sons were all graduates of Harvard. GEORGE, the other son, was a graduate of Dartmouth, and a lawyer; he died October 3, 1836, in the 29th year of his age.


Boast not these titles of your ancestors Brave youths : they'r their possession, not your own : When your own virtues equall'd have their names, 'Twill be but fair to lean upon their fames, For they are strong supporters; but, till then, The greatest are but growing gentlemen.
