ton, Washington Co., where he engaged in farming. In 1806 he came to LaFayette, then a part of the town of Pompey, and purchased a farm of Joseph Rhoades. Here he built the homestead which is now occupied by his grandson, Mr. George H. Green. One acre of the farm was donated for church and school purposes, and on it now stands the Presbyterian church.

Mr. Green died March 29th, 1817, aged 63 years. His wife died Feb. 6, 1828, aged 73 years.

Y.; Sally, wife of Minot Hoyt, of Harmony, Chautauque Co., N.Y.; Turpin, who succeeded to his father's estate in LaFayette, and where he died Dec. 20, 1851; and Ransom, the only surviving member of the family, now in the 76th year of his age, who resides in Cleveland, Ohio.

HON. DANIEL GILBERT.

Daniel Gilbert was born in Sheffield, Mass., Sept. 12th, 1786. He was the youngest son of Rev. Joseph Gilbert, who was at that time pastor of the Congregational Church in that place. In 1790, he moved with his father's family to Waybridge, Vt., and thence, in 1799, to Pompey, Onondaga County, N. Y., and settled on Lot No. 66, on the farm lately owned by Albert H. Butterfield, where his father died in 1806, and was buried in Pompey Hill Cemetery. Of his childhood we can learn but little; but very likely he was reared in the industrious and christian manner of such families in those times, and hence the virtue and stability of his riper years. He studied law in Cazenovia, N. Y., and in 1812 was admitted to practice, at which time he moved to

Salina, now the First Ward of Syracuse. He was soon appointed Justice of the Peace, which office he held for twelve years in Salina, and afterwards for about the same length of time elsewhere. In September, 1817, he was married to Miss Harriet Clarke, eldest daughter of the late Dr. Hezekiah Clarke.

In 1832 he removed to Fayetteville, N. Y., where he remained only one year, moving then to Gaines, Orleans County, N. Y. While there, he was appointed Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for that County, which office he held for five years, being at the same time Justice of the Peace and Postmaster.

In 1844, he moved to Coldwater, Mich., whither his sons had preceded him. There his infirmities were such as to prevent his engaging actively in business; the only office which he held there was that of Circuit Court Commissioner.

He was a patriot as well as a christian. When traitorous hands sought to rend the country, to destroy the glorious unity of a nation born in the agony of his fathers, and paptized in the blood sweat of his brothers, old political lines and shibboleths were of but little note in the presence of the question, whether we shall be, or shall not be, as a nation; whether we shall have and maintain a national government

or not.

Too old and infirm to bear arms, he gave his first-born, (Henry Clarke Gilbert, Colonel of the Nineteenth Michigan Regiment, who fell at the battle of Resaca, gallantly leading a successful charge upon a battery); and when that son was borne home and laid in the tomb, leaving him sonless, he calmly said: "He was dear to me, but our country is worth the life of many such."

He died at the city of Coldwater, Mich., Feb. 15th, 1865. Having faithfully "served his generation, by the will of God he fell asleep," and was laid by the side of kindred dust, to rest until the morning of the resurrection.

ALLEN WILLARD HAYDEN.

HAYDEN FAMILY.

Allen Willard Hayden, a direct lineal descendant of the English baronet, William Hayden, (who came to this country in 1630 and settled in Dorchester, Mass., and who served in the early Pequot Indian War with some little distinction and notoriety,) was born at Harrington, Litchfield County, Conn., in June, 1783, and, together with his father, Allen Hayden, and his three brothers, Zora, Harvey and Allen, Jr., came to Pompey, Onondaga County, N. Y., in Sept., 1800, and settled on what was since called the Todd Farm, about one mile east of Pompey Academy. They cleared about three acres of land and sowed it to wheat that fall. The spring following they cleared the land and set out the orchard west of the house, where it now stands. Four years after, Allen Willard married Abigail Castle, sister of Gen. Jabez and Philo B. Castle, and with his father bought Lot No. 94, situate about two and one-half miles south of the village of Pompey, on which he lived about fifty years. In personal appearance he was commanding, standing six feet in height and very heavily built, being well calculated to bear his part in the hardships of those early times, and many stories are told of his great strength and courage. A man well liked by his neighbors and of a kind and genial disposition. By profession a farmer, he did his work well and was successful, having a large and fine tract of land under good cultivation. He reared a family of eleven children, seven boys and four girls, who all lived to a good age, and to see both father and mother close their earthly career. When the father died, in June, 1858, in his seventy-fifth year, and the mother in January, 1864, in her seventy-ninth year, the whole family, in an unbroken circle, gathered around their remains as the last few words were said before depositing them away from sight forever. Then that united circle of brothers and sisters, all of whom had reached the years of maturity, and some of whom were verging upon old age, and were themselves the heads of families, could feel, as perhaps they had never before felt, that in each they
