According to my best present light, Deacon
Cony moved to Augusta in 1878. His sor
Samuel must have preceded him in the
settlement here, at least one year. Mrs
Daniel Cony came with the Deacon, and it il
understood that her husband accompanied
her, but returned subsequently to Mass.
where he remained till the next spring ir
the further pursuit of knowledge in the
profession which he had chosen. He, Judge
COny, said that he came here in 1878.
Deacon Samuel Cony married a second wife
Mrs. Anna Fletcher, with whom he lived
few years.
Lieut.. Samuel Cony (2) was born May Is.

died on an island near the mouth of the
Kennebec, not far from the scene of the
conflict with the Boxer in which he was en-
gagged.
Gen. Cony's third child (3o) was named Dan
iel Cony Cony. This was admirable and
cal exactness which prominently belonged
to Judge Cony, and was inherited without
diminution by some of his descendants. As
is evident, it was intended to name this
child for him; and it was faithfully done,
in spite of the child's family name, which
might seem to less exact minds to render
the repetition unnecessary. In this name
seem to hear the emphatic knocking OF
Judge Cony's cane upon the floor; and
those who used to hear it will understand the
meaning of this remark.
The maiden name of the wife of DIR. Robert
A. Cony (29) is spelt Whittier.
His fourth child (3s) is Robert Alonzo.
His daughters name is Isabel.
Gov. Cony (3D studied law first with Reuel

tiers, two of whom were twins and died in
infancy, about 1879.
His daughter, Susan Bowdoin, 05) married
Nov. "a. Correct in History in account of
her husband).
His daughter Abigail Guild (ls) married Jan.

HOWARD.
OF James Howard. (6) Judge Towards son
by second wife, Susanna (Cony), / have
heard the romantic story from my father
who was his contemporary, that he married
extremely young, went South in few years
and wasnerer more heard from but find
from some papers written by his con- in-law
West, that there was once a rumor that he
died on board a vessel bound from Norfolk
to Savannah, in the fall of 1907.
Isabella, his daughter, (5) previous to her
marriage with West, married first Mr.. Nor
rison an editor in Alexandria, La, son of
Capt. Morrison of Hallowell and secondly,
according to one account, Mr.. Howard a
merchant of n. o.
Adeline L. (l6) l find married secondly Capt.
James Trathen.
William Howard (and his brother Samuel,
if they were in company went into partner
ship with Davidson of Bath, who had been
an officer in the British army and was proba-
bly, Scotchman,- and lost heavily by him.
My authorities are impressed that Col.
William Towards son Samuel, OO) called
MAJOR Howard, never was in trade with
his father at the Fort or had anything to do
with Davidson. He was in business eight
or ten years with Gen. Cony

1878, as knew it must be. She died in
her 89fh gear.
