WILLIAM ADAMS,
son of Samuel, married Sarah E., a daughter of Brown Osgood, of this town, Oct. 2, 1834, and has resided on his father's homestead in Brookline. to the present time.

Naturally very fond of children it was a severe affliction to these parents. to bury all three of their boys, thus early in infaney.
Mr. Wm. Adams. although a vigilent farmer all his life, has by his diligent habits and early rising been a man of extensive reading; and being of a legal turn of mind, has devoted much of his attention to legal and political subjects. This together with his great force of character and imflinching fidelity to what he believed to be right. has made him a natural leader in poli- ties, and a vigilent defender of his adopted town. In short, he has been Brookline's free lawyer; and for many years, he has drawn up most of the legal papers for the town and its in- habitants, has settled several estates. etc. His official record will appear with his townsinen.

BENNETT FAMILY.
BY DR. LEMON BENNETT.
The ancestors of the Bennett family came early from England, and settled in Rhode Island, and for several gen- erations were mainly seafaring men.
Samuel Bennett, the grandfather of the writer, with three of his brothers. served as soldiers during the Revolu- tionary war. He held the office of drum-major.
Soon after the close of the war, he with his wife, whose maiden name was Rebecca Shaw, and several of his con- nections came to Putney. Vt .. and he was one of the first settlers on Putney West Hill. Here. he raised a family of 5 sons and 7 daughters. His son, SAMUEL BENNETT.
my father, married Sarah Read, daugli- ter of John Read, of West Putney, a woman of most excellent mind and eharacter. They lived on the home- place, and took care of grandfather and grandmother. He was a man of great industry and economy. and accu- mulated considerable property.
He was one of the worst sufferers in the accident that occurred at the rais- ing of the Baptist church. at Brook- line. The bones of his legs were very badly broken and erushed, and ever after, he was very lame,
About 1839. he bought the Dr. Perry place in Brookline, to which he moved his family. and where he lived till his death in 1849.
He had a family of 4 sons and 5 daughters, one son died in infancy.

In the fall of 1849, a terrible ca- lamity came upon the Bennett family, a most malignant type of typhus dysentery (ship-fever) was brought into the neighborhood from the sea- board, and my father and mother and brother and sister Kingsbury, and their three beautiful children, the entire family, seven in all, took it, and died in the short space of six weeks. Other members of my fathers family had it, but recovered, though with broken constitutions, and Mary only survived a few years.
JANE BENNETT, married Sam'l. Cutler, of Brookline, then a merchant of Boston, Mass., where they have since lived. He is a deacon in the Baptist church, and a man of some wealth. They have 2 sons and 2 daughters.
ELLEN BENNET, my youngest sister, married Rev. Luman Keney, who is now pastor of the Baptist church, at East Dover, Vt. They have no children.
Of the three sons :
WALTER married Vashti E. Stebbins, daughter of Rufus Stebbins, and he still lives in this town.

Mary Bennett was a good scholar. so esteemed at the old Acade- my, and we had excellent teachers there in those days. Never has that old school come up to so high a mark before or since as then. Mary Bennett was an estimable young lady. Even to-day. we regret her death in the fresh flower of young womanhood,- and she stands in memory before us as we write - as onee, one exhibition eve, - a young court-maid in the

ed with names, not all plainly written, and in order to preserve the histories of Brookline and Wardsboro as best now we might to the volunie in hand, unable in the distance, and Brookline having but a semi-weekly mail to await return proofs, with what, in the adverse cur- rent must be done rapidly or not at all, we have worked at disadvantage, but, beleive, us, Vermont, hard for you this time. so in the midst of otherwise de- served criticism remember merey.
