Elmore and Northrop

This 1762 listing of the rolls of French and Indian war has 2 Northrops and some other familiar names.

I have looked for family connections -- there are several with Benedicts and others, but it may be a tribute by those who served with Captain Elmore.

There is William Northrop and Daniel Northrop. From the age, this is probably either the William of Greenfield line

While is seems sensible to search for a connecticut Elmore connection, It is also possible that the connection is with Elmores AFTER a move to Vermont. Elmore is a town in Vermont.

ELMORE, Samuel Edward, President of the Connecticut River Banking Company, Hartford, was born in South Windsor, Connecticut, November 3, 1833, son of Captain Harvey and Clarissa (Burnham) Elmore. One of his ancestors was Edward Elmer, one of the party who with the Reverend Thomas Hooker began the settlement of Hartford in 1636. Edward Elmer is thought to have been the great-grandson of Bishop Elmer, of London, and to have come from Braintree, England. The name appears with various spellings in the early records. This ancestor, after living in Northampton, Massachusetts, a few years, returned to Hartford, where a tract of five hundred and fifty acres, from the Connecticut River back for three miles, was obtained and improved by him. He lost his life in King Philip's War. From Edward, Mr. Elmore is descended in the following line : 2, John, born 1646; 3, Joseph, born 1678; 4, Samuel, born in 17o5; 5, Samuel, born in 1755; 6, Harvey, his father, born in 1799. Samuel of the fourth generation was one of the first settlers of Long Hill. His log cabin was one of the first two dwellings on South Windsor street, near the present Elmore homestead. His son Samuel was in five campaigns of the Revolutionary War.

SAM L E. ELMORE.

Captain Harvey Elmore represented South Windsor in the Legislature in 1842 and 1844, and was Captain of an independent rifle company attached to the Twenty-fifth Regiment, Connecticut Militia. He married the daughter of Zenas and Thankful Burnham, of South Windsor. Their son Samuel Edward, the subject of this sketch, after studying in the South Windsor High School, Williston Seminary at East Hampton, Massachusetts, and at the Academy at Hinsdale, Massachusetts, was graduated at Williams College in 1857. He was a fellow-student with President Garfield. During his college days he was Captain of a scientific exploring expedition to Florida and the Keys, when a valuable collection was made for the museum of the Natural History Society at Williams. After graduation he taught in the Sedgwick Institute in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and was Principal of the Stowe (Vermont) Academy in 1859. Returning to South Windsor, he was Representative from that town in 186o and 1864. As Chief Clerk in the office of the State Treasurer from 186o to 1865 he attended to a large part of the duty of raising funds for the equipment of the troops during the Civil War. Governor Buckingham sent him to Washington to collect for advances made by the State in aid of the Government, and with Rowland Swift he went to Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Yorktown to reenlist Connecticut men whose terms of service had nearly expired, and to pay bounties. While in the Legislature in 1864 he obtained a charter for the Continental Life Insurance Company, of which he was chosen Secretary the following year and President a little later. In the ten years of his Presidency the assets of the company increased from one hundred and fifty thousand to two million five hundred thousand dollars. He was chosen President of the Connecticut River Banking Company in 1875, which position he now holds. He is also a Director in the Pratt & Whitney Company, the Connecticut River Company, the C. Cowles Company of New Haven, and the Hartford County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and is interested in several other concerns. He is Treasurer of the J. R. Montgomery Company of Windsor Locks, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Utica Cement Company. His ancestral farm, which has been handed down without deed or document through seven generations, from the time of the Indian grant, is his special pride. Mr. Elmore is a member of the Sons of the Revolution, the Hartford Scientific Association, and the Connecticut Historical Society. He was married November 1, 1864,to Mary Amelia Burnham, of Hartford. They have four children : Frank Harvey, Samuel Dean, Charles Burnham, and Henry Dennis Elmore.
