America's Successful Men of Affairs: An Encyclopedia of Contemporaneous Biography Volume I P Henry Bradley Plant page 508 In these enterprises, it was the purpose of Mr. Plant and his associates to extend and add to the various properties, and they believed this could best be accomplished under a single organization with ample powers. With this object in view, several of his associates being residents of Connecticut, the birth place of Mr. Plant, a charter was obtained in 1882 from the Legislature of that State and The Plant Investment Co. organized. Mr. Plant became president and remains such to the present time. Among his associates were W. T. Walters and B. F. Newcomer of Baltimore, E. B. Haskell of Boston, Henry M. Flagler and Morris K. Jesup of New York, and Lorenzo Blackstone, Henry Sanford, Lynde Harrison, H. P. Hoadley and G. H. Tilley of Connecticut. Since the formation of The Plant Investment Co., several properties have been acquired by purchase. In 1885, they bought The South Florida Railroad, at the time running only between Tampa and Kissimmee, which was changed from narrow to broad gauge with an extension of the line to Port Tampa, Fla., which is the port of entry for the West India fast mail steamers (Plant Steamship line) between Port Tampa and Havana, Cuba. Subsequently, the line was extended north from Lakeland to a connection with the Gainesville division of The Savannah, Florida & Western Railway at High Springs, thus completing the line from Charleston, S.C., to Port Tampa, Fla. Thereafter, the company acquired, in 1887, The Brunswick & Western Railroad between Brunswick and Albany, Ga., via Waycross, which road was rebuilt; in 1889, The Alabama Midland Railway from Montgomery, Ala., to Bainbridge, Ga.; and in 1892, The Silver Springs, Ocala & Gulf Railroad, extending from Ocala to Homosassa and Inverness, Fla. In 1893, The Tampa & Thonotosassa Railroad was constructed from Tampa to Thonotosassa, and The Winston & Bone Valley Railroad purchased to accommodate the people of the phosphate mining districts. In 1894, The Abbeville Southern Railway from Abbeville, Ala., to a junction of the line of the Alabama Midland Railway was built. The system has been extended in 1895 by purchase of The Florida Southern Railway and The Sanford & St. Petersburg Railroad, both narrow gauge roads. Preparations are being made to change them to standard gauge. [p.508] America's Successful Men of Affairs: An Encyclopedia of Contemporaneous Biography Volume I S Charles A. Schieren page 576 WILLIAM HENRY SCHIEFFELIN, merchant, born Aug. 20, 1836, in New York city, died in town June 21, 1895. His family traces its ancestry for seven centuries back to Norlingen, Germany. One branch of the family became conspicuous in Switzerland as owners of land and Syndics of Geneva. The pioneer in America, Jacob Schieffelin, sailed from Germany to Philadelphia in 1740 and returned to the fatherland, but his son, Jacob, came to Philadelphia in 1745 and remained in the new world. Jacob, son of the latter, served on the staff of Gen. Henry Hamilton and won the affection of a beautiful American girl, whom he married. He settled in New York city in 1780 and here established on Pearl street, after a time, what subsequently became the famous wholesale drug business of the Schieffelins. His wife was Hannah, daughter of John Lawrence, land holder of Queens county, and Mr. Schieffelin took John B. Lawrence, his wife's nephew, into partnership in the drug business. Mr. Schieffelin wished to own ships as well as sell drugs and a disagreement on this point resulted in a separation of the partners. After the retirement of Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Schieffelin carried on business on his own account. In 1813, his son Henry Hamilton Schieffelin succeeded to the management under the name of H. H. Schieffelin & Co., to be in turn succeeded, in the '50s, by the four sons of the latter, Samuel Bradhurst, Sidney Augustus, James Lawrence and Bradhurst Schieffelin, as Schieffelin Bro's & Co. In 1849, the stock and business of Hoadley, Phelps & Co., were acquired by purchase. William H. Schieffelin was the only son of Samuel B. and Lucretia Hazard Schieffelin. He grew up in his father's firm and was early admitted to partnership, but enlivened his career with early exploration and adventure. In 1860, he crossed the Rocky Mountains in Montana with a party of men, who, being captured by the Indians, came near losing their lives. In 1862, Mr. Schieffelin went to the front with the 7th N.Y. militia, received [p.576] a commission while in Baltimore as Major of the 1st N.Y. Mounted Rifles, and served until July, 1863, under General Wool, near Suffolk, Va., being often in action. He then returned to New York in time to aid in suppressing the draft riots and thereafter applied himself to the wholesale drug business of his firm. Since 1854, the house has occupied a site at the corner of William and Beckman streets. A large laboratory has been developed there and the firm make a specialty of synthetic drugs, in which they have an extended trade. Mr. Schieffelin had been senior partner since 1865. Originally a Republican and a member of the Union League club, Mr. Schieffelin became a supporter of President Cleveland in 1892. He belonged to the Century and City clubs and the Loyal Legion. Oct. 15, 1863, he married Mary, daughter of the Hon. John and Eleanor Jay.

He was a son of Frederick Winston, a Virginian, and of Susan Seymour, of Connecticut, who settled early in life in Saratoga county, N.Y. The Winstons came originally from Wales and settled in Virginia. Patrick Henry's mother was a member of this family. Educated in the academy in Utica, Mr. Winston began life at fifteen as clerk for Halsted, Haines & Co., wholesale dry goods merchants of New York. A breezy vigor and purity of character greatly enhanced his success, and led the firm to take him into partnership. In a few years' time, he opened a store of his own on Pine street, opposite the present building of The Mutual Life Insurance Co. While at one time among the most prominent wholesale dry goods merchants of the city, he finally failed. In 1846, he was elected a director of The Mutual Life Insurance Co., organized four years before, settled the [p.731] affairs of his firm, and thereafter gave his undivided attention to the insurance company. In 1853, he succeeded John B. Collins as president, and held this position till his death, a period of over thirty years. In 1864, he transferred the offices from the Trinity Building on Broadway to a home at the corner of Liberty street and saw the assets increase under his administration from $2,000,000 in 1853 to $100,000,000 in 1885. Mr. Winston was a staunch Union man during the Civil War. In 1866, he became a Commissioner of Emigration for five years, discharging this duty from conscientious motives. A member of the Protestant Episcopal chinch, he was also vice president of The American Bible Society and of The Protestant Episcopal City Mission Society, and otherwise an active influence in philanthropic work. A thick set, genial, man, with ruddy face, heavy iron gray hair and side whiskers, he was a notable figure. In 1833, he married Lucy Cotton, of New York, who died March 14, 1886.

With a small company of Saints passage was taken on the ship "David Hoadley" in the spring of 1865, and after a long and tedious sea voyage and wearisome journey across the plains with ox-teams, the family arrived in Salt Lake City in November of said year. March 21, 1867, Thomas was baptized, and on Feb. 15, 1875, he was ordained an Elder by William J. Smith. He attended the district schools of Salt Lake county and the University of Deseret, and at the age of sixteen years commenced teaching in the 19th District school, Salt Lake City, as assistant to Lucius W. Peck. When eighteen years old he accepted the position of principal of the Hoytsville school, in Summit county, Utah. Dec. 26, 1878, he married Miss Mary Ellen Holt, of Hoytsville, by whom he has had thirteen children. In 1883 he was elected county clerk of Summit county, which position he held until 1888. He was ordained a Seventy by Thomas Copley. In the winter of 1888-89 he worked in the office of George M. Cannon, recorder of Salt Lake county. In April, 1889, he was called to take a mission to Great Britain, where he labored in the Liverpool conference and office for two years, under the direction of Apostles George Teasdale and Brigham Young; he acted as president of the Liverpool conference for about six months in the latter part of 1890. Upon returning from his mission he entered the office of President Wilford Woodruff as assistant to Secretary George Reynolds and remained there two years, when he was transferred, in May, 1893, to the Salt Lake Temple and labored as assistant recorder therein until 1898. Nov. 1, 1891, upon the organization of the 105th quorum of Seventy, in the Sugar House Ward, he was chosen a member of the council of said quorum and held that position until he was ordained a High Priest in 1900. When the Granite Stake was organized in January, 1900, he was chosen and set apart as Stake clerk and clerk of the High Council, which position he still holds. At the regular election in November, 1900, he was elected county recorder of Salt Lake county, in which position he is giving general satisfaction.[p.790] Sons of the American Revolution Description: This work contains the entire list (thousands of members) of the membership of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution to December 31, 1901, including deceased members, with their line of descent from their Revolutionary ancestors.

An Enduring Legacy An Enduring Legacy: Volume Four American Clocks Types of Clocks Mr. Terry beught a gristmill near Plymouth, Massachusetts, and with his partner, a former apprentice-Heman Clark (1783-1838), converted it into a clock factory. In 1807 he was asked by two Waterbury clockmakers to produce for them four thousand wooden tall clock movements, delivery to be made in three years. He took the contract and fulfilled it in the specified time, thus ending the period of handcrafted clocks as a major part of the clockmaking business, although handcrafting has continued as a specialty through the years. Terry sold his business at that time to Heman Clark, Seth Thomas and Silas Hoadley, but later went into business again. Several sons and other descendants also entered the trade. Apprentices of Connecticut 1637-1900 Description: The apprenticeship records in this database were created by abstracting the original indenture document for Connecticut during the time period from 1637-1900. There are approximately 2,700 individuals in the index, and each record includes, when provided, the name, age, and town of residence of the indentured individual, the name of the person they are indentured to and the town, the trade to be learned, date indentured, and the age they will be released from the contract. It also lists cases of runaway indentured servants, and a list of trades with a brief definition. The database consists primarily of Connecticut people, but does contain references to New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Ireland, Amsterdam, England, and Cuba.

Volume 1 page xi A very extensive catalogue of gentlemen, that might be graced by one of more than half a dozen ladies, could here be supplied, were it useful to mention the smaller as well as the greater contributors to these sheets. To Goodwin, Bond, Harris, faher and son, Kingsley, Abbot, Day, Shattuck, Lunt, and Kilbourne, of the respectable file who have passed out of active service, it would not be casy to state the respective proportions of indebtedness; nor could I specify the ratio of benefit derived in m pages from benevolence of the living Babson, Boltwood, Brayton, Budington, Clapp, Day, Edwards, [p.xi] Felt, Field, Herrick, Hoadley, Jackson, Judd, Kelly, King, Kel logg, Lincoln, Locke, Otis, Paige, Patterson, Riker, Sargent Sewall, Shurtleff, R. D. Smith of Guilford, Staples, Vinton Wentworth, Whitmore, Willard, Wyman, and twice as many more. Not one of the living or dead could complain of my dec. laration, that from the distinguished antiquary of Northampton the acquisition exceeds that of any other te contributors. Early in 1846 I had solicited the benefit of uniting his name with mine in producing these volumes; but while he shranl from the responsibility of such unbroken labor, I can offe several hundred pages of letters to vouch for his sympathy, and encourage my perseverance.

Serutiny has been applied, and Vinton, 296, could find two ws. Eliz. and Mary, but ment. no ch. JONATHAN, Boston, blockmaker, of wh.

Rebecca, Dorcas, Mary, and Lydia. His w. was d. of James Andrews of Falmouth, driv. up by the war. JONATHAN, Medfield, eldest s. of Edward of the same, m. 20 Mar. 1678, Mary Ellis, d. prob. of Thomas of the same; but my acquisit. reach no further. JOSEPH, Braintree, perhaps youngest s. of the first Henry, b. in Eng. a. 1626, was a maltster, freem. 1653 or 5, his name appearing on both years, as the wonderful carelessness of Secr. Rawson admits thirty, if not thirty-one (if we include Dwight), out of thirty-two of the earlier yr.to be reinsert. two yrs. later with the sole addit. of one name at the top and one at the foot of the list, m. 26 or 29 Nov. 1650, Abigail (not Mary, as Alden has it), d. of Gregory Baxter (not, as is giv. by Thayer, of John, wh. was her br.), had Hannah, b. 13 Nov. 1652; Joseph, 24 Dec. 1654; John, 13 Jan. 1657, or 11 Feb. it being uncert. wh. date is prefer. on the rec.

JOSEPH, Braintree, eldest s. of the preced. m. 20 Feb. 1682, Mary Chapin, perhaps d. of Josiah, had Mary, b. 6 Feb. foll. and Abigail, 17 Feb. 1684. This w. d. 14 June 1687, and he next m.

NATHANIEL, Newport 1639, may be that one of Weymouth 1642, wh. had Abraham, b. 16 Jan. 1643. NATHANIEL, Boston, turner, m. 24 Nov. 1652, Eliz. d. of Philemon Portmort, but whether she d. soon, and he had ano. w. Sarah is wholly uncert. for one Nathanicl of B. d. Oct. 1675, and his w.

No small part of this may have confirmat. in his will of 22 Mar. 1690, pro. 8 May next, in wh. his w. Mary, and s. Joseph and Isaac are well provid. for, as also d. Mary, wid. of Joseph Hipdich; Sarah, w. of Richard Hunnewell, and Eliz. w. of Ebenezer Chaffin, but all subject to the discret. of their mo. and he takes notice that his s.

PETER, Medfield, s. of Henry the first, b. in Eng. freem. 1650, by w. Rachel had Peter, b. 20 July 1653, wh. was a physician at Medway, of wh.

"apprehended a gent. not many yrs. ago (suppos. him to be the K.) resolv. to send him for Eng. had not Sir Henry Moody and others better kn. His Ma.tie." We may read in Hutch. I. 215 that Capt.

These stories have been preserved in this database. The material in each chapter contains many true Pioneer stories as well as historical dates and facts. Realizing that nothing is preserved that is not written and that to forward a great cause they must have an organization, they formed in 1901 the historical society of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. It is the purpose of every daughter of this organization to write the history of her pioneer ancestry and also to record what has been told and what is still being told by the survivors of these conquerors of the West.

The society, through the efforts of General Brinkerhoff, received an appropriation from the legislature of two thousand five hundred dollrs, to be expended in making an exhibit at the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia. Professor John T. Short, of the Ohio State University, was secretary of the society, and it fiourished under his secretaryship until his death, November 11, 1883, when th society became practically inoperative. Governor Hoadley Suggested a revival of the society. A meeting for this purpose was called to convene at the secretary of state's office. February 12, 1885. A number of prominent gentlemen, including leading citizens, scholars and professors from various parts of the state, responded to this call, and decided to extend to all persons in the state interested in the formation of such a society an invitation to meet, March 12, 1885, at Columbus. In response to the circuars sent out, some sixty gentlemen from all parts of Ohio, representing the various departments of scholarship, convened on the day specified in the library room of the state capitol. This convention continued in session two days, perfected an organization known as The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society, which was incorporated March 13, 1885. Hon. Allen G. Thurman was made president and Mr. A. A. Graham elected secretary, Mr. Graham occupied the office of secretary until December, 1893, when ill health compelled him to remove west. He died in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in February, 1896. page 322 he was nominated for governor of Ohio against Senator Foraker and was delegate at large to the Chicago convention which nominated Grover Cleveland for the presidency and also placed Governor Hoadley in nomination. He pos- page 765 Charles N. Allen, deceased, was born in Denton, Maryland, on the 7th of September, 1824, his parents being Joseph and Rebecca (Tucker) Allen, who were natives of Maryland. In May, 1834, they removed to Wheeling, West Virginia, and in the followin year took up their abode in Freeport, Ohio. Charles N. Allen was one of a family of five children and in 1836 was sent to Wheeling to learn the printer's trade. Removing to Freeport in 1838, he there worked for two years with his father, who was a tailor y occupation. From 1842 until 1845 he resided at Meadow Farm near Zanesville, Ohio, while the year 1847 found him in Cincinnati. On the 10th of May of that year he enlisted for service in the, Mexican war as a member of Company I, Fourth Ohio Infantry, and was honorably discharged in Cincinnati in 1848. Subsequently Mr. Allen worked as a printer at Cadiz and in December, 1849, returned to Freeport, Ohio, where he published a paper called the Stillwater Valley. In 1850 he went to West Chester, Butler county,Ohio, there publishing the West Chester Times until April, 1851, when the plant was destroyed by fire. Afterward removing to Cadiz, he purchased the Cadiz Sentinel in partnership with Messrs. Giles and Blaine, and in 1852 bought the interest of his partners, conducting the paper until September 1, 1865. At that date he began the publication of the Steubenville Gazette, which he continued until 1875, when he sold out. He was elected justice of'the peace in 1876, and in April, 1880, began publishing the Bellaire Democrat, with which he was connected until 1884, when he came to Columbus, Ohio, and was appointed superintendent of printing and librarian at the penitentiary by Governor Hoadley.

Nebraska: the Land and the People: Volume 2 page 335 Mr. Shumway was born June 19, 1898, on a farm near Harrisburg, Banner County, Nebraska, and is a son of Alson J. and Jennetta (Rosenfelt) Shumway. His grandfather, Stephen Burroughs Shumway, was born at Spring Hill, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, April 15, 1822, and accompanied his parents to Lee County, Illinois, when he was still a lad. With his father he farmed and hauled wheat to Chicago with ox-teams, and on frequent occasions their loads would be mired down in the mud of State Street, now one of the leading business thoroughfares of that city. In 1848, during his senior year, he left Knox College, where he had been making his own way to an education by shaving shingles, and started on the long and dangerous journey over the plains to California and his supposed fortune in the gold fields. He passed through western Nebraska in 1850, and frequently in later years would tell of the terrific storm which his party encountered the night that they were encamped at Chimney Rock, when they sat up for hours in their tents with their blankets over their heads and the water running beneath their feet. After about a year in California, through industry and thrift Mr. Shumway had accumulated about $2,000 worth of gold, with which he returned to his home by the way of Panama. On the trip down the Pacific Ocean he was impressed with the fact that it was anything but a peaceful ocean. The stokers kept the pipes red hot and several times the vessel took fire. In the storms the ship would crawl up an advancing wave for several hundred feet to the top, when there would be a trough in the water that would seem like the bottomless pit, and down into this the ship would plunge, and when it hit the bottom the water would sweep the decks, carrying away everything that was not lashed firmly in place. Across the isthmus Mr. Shumway rode a mule through a path so deep that the banks on either side were often as high as his shoulders. The verdure of the tropics was matted overhead so thickly that it was fairly dark in places. Upon his arrival in Illinois Mr. Shumway and Alson J. Streeter, who in 1888 was to become presidential candidate of the Union Labor party, gathered together 100 head of cows and in 1852 drove them across the plains to California. This trip was made through the North Platte Valley, on the north side of the river. They had numerous adventures but no serious losses, arriving at the golden mecca with more animals than they had started with, as some of the cows produced calves which were taken into the wagon and carried when they displayed signs of fatigue. On February 28, 1854, Mr. Shumway was united in marriage with Miss Lydia Jane Streeter, a sister of Alson J. Streeter, who was born at Rock Hill, New York, October 1, 1835, and moved to Lee County, Illinois, about the same time that the Shumway family came from Pennsylvania. After his marriage Mr. Shumway went into the mercantile business at Oxford, Henry County, Illinois, and eventually retired to his farm adjoining town. The old farmhouse which was his home and which was destroyed by fire not so many years ago was his residing place for a long period, and it was there that his family of eleven children were born. For about ten years he served as county supervisor in Henry County, being elected as an independent, as he had maintained that kind of a stand since the days of the "Greenback" party. At one time he was independent candidate for Congress. In 1886 he came to Nebraska and filed a homestead in what was then Cheyenne County, and upon the organization of Banner County was elected county judge, an office in which he served two years. He and Mrs. Shumway affiliated with the Congregational Church in Illinois, but there being none of that denomination in Banner County at that time, they attended services at the Methodist Church and occasionally at the Presbyterian Church. He was a thirty-second degree Mason before coming West, and for many years was high priest of the Royal Rach Chapter at Rio, Illinois. After some years the ranch of 960 acres was sold and Mr. and Mrs. Shumway moved to Gering, where Mr. Shumway passed away August 5, [p.335] 1897. His widow lived at Gering, Scottsbluff and Los Angeles, California, and then returned to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Luft, at Scottsbluff, where she died October 22, 1904. Of the children of Mr. and Mrs. Shumway, Clara A., the eldest daughter, came to Banner County and filed upon a homestead in 1887. On December 10, 1890, she married George B. Luft, a pioneer merchant of Scottsbluff, where he died. Mrs. Luft was the first superintendent of schools in Banner County and was elected without opposition, serving two terms. She always has been active in educational, mercantile, lodge, club and civic endeavors. Grace F. Shumway, who was inclined to literary pursuits and prominent in the Women's Christian Temperance Union, was married at Woodhull, Illinois, to C. L. Burgess. She was killed by the accidental discharge of a revolver August 13, 1899. Stephen Roswell Shumway, the eldest son with the exception of one who died in infancy, married Mary E.
