COLTON FAMILY.

A considerable part of the following Genealogical record was taken from a manuscript left by Rev. George Colton, of Bolton, Conn., who was a greatgrand-son of George the Ancestor, or Pilgrim.

The record is principally confined to the descendants of Ephraim, the second son of the Pilgrim, through Benjamin, his fifth son.

The account of this branch, in the original manuscript, is brought down to the time of George, who was the son of Benjamin, and gives the names of Benjamin's children, with those whom they married, where the account

ceases.

Three or four generations have since appeared, and the descendants of Benjamin are numerous. Their names and alliances, as many as could be ascertained, have been here recorded, taken principally from the recollections of one who has been familiar with their history. The part thus added occupies about one-third of the succeeding pages. Much difficulty was found in transcribing some portions of the manuscript of Rev. George Colton, owing to the apparent endeavor of the author, (no uncommon thing we believe with writers of that day), to crowd the greatest number of words into the smallest quantity of space, the faculty of doing which he seems to have possessed in a good degree, and to have exercised, ad libitum. Consequently many abbreviations occurred not to be found in the list in Webster's Spelling Book, and not a little puzzling, making the exercise of copying often slow and perplexing.

Such care however has been taken that very few mistakes, it is believed, have been made, and the copy may be considered mostly correct.

It is much to be regretted, that this history is so defective in regard to dates and localities, and yet, imperfect as it is, it will be highly valued by all who feel an interest in the Colton Family.

GEORGE COLTON, the first of the family, of whom we have any record, came from Sutton Cofield, England and settled in that part of the old town of Springfield, called Long-Meadow, where he is known in the records as Quartermaster Colton. He came first to Windsor, and married Deborah Gardner, of Hartford. They had five sons and four daughters, viz: Isaac, b. Nov. 21st, 1646, d. Sept. 3d, 1770; Ephraim, b. April 9th, 1648, d. 1715; Mary, b. 1649; Thomas, b. 1651, d. 1728; Sarah, b. 1653; Deborah, b. 1655, d. 1733; Hepzibah, b. 1657; John, b. 1659, d. 1727; Benjamin, b. 1661.
