Enfield, Connecticut, in 1845, daughter of Caleb Jones and Chloe (Wolcott) Bancroft, her father a descendant of John Bancroft, who came from London, England, June 12, 1632, and settled at Lynn, Massachusetts. Stewart Northrop Dunning was born at Peekskill, New York, December 7, 1876. He was brought by his parents to Hartford when but six months of age, and that city has continued his home to the present time. He was educated in the public schools of Hartford, Denver, Colo- rado, and Windsor, Connecticut, complet- ing his studies in Hartford High School at the age of sixteen. At that age he secured a position in one of the large insurance offices of Hartford, where he remained for four years. During this time he sup- plemented his education by evening study in various academic subjects and came to a definite determination to make the law his profession and career in life. With this end in view he entered, at the age of twenty, the law offices of Harrison B. Freeman, continuing his studies until 1903, when he was admitted to the Connecticut bar. Since that time, Mr. Dunning has practiced his profession in Hart- ford and has won enviable reputation as an attorney of ability, counted as one of the leaders of the Hartford bar. To natural talent Mr. Dunning has added habits of energy which, combined with ambition, has won him success. He is emphatically a worker and there are no blank periods in his life. Mr. Dunning, besides his professional practice has large business interests and is connected in an official capacity with several important concerns. He is a director of the City Bank & Trust Company, the Northern Connecticut Light & Power Company, the Thompsonville Water Company, the Atlas Sand, Gravel & Stone Company of Farmington, the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BIOGRAPHY 18 Northern Engineering Company, the En- field Construction Company and the In- surance and Title Guarantee Company of Hartford. While in no sense of the word a politician, Mr. Dunning is keenly interested in public affairs and is a Repub- lican in politics. He served for five years on the Common Council and Board of Aldermen of Hartford and has been chairman of the Town Plan Commission and member of the Republican Town Com- mittee and various other public bodies in West Hartford. He is also a prominent figure in the club life of the city, is a member of Wyllys Lodge, No. 99, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, of West Hart- ford, but outside of his profession he finds his greatest pleasure in his home. He has a small farm in West Hartford. The family attend the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Hartford. Mr. Dunning married, January 25, 1905, Hazel C. Case, of Windsor. They are the parents of John Stewart, born March 9, 1906; Harrison Freeman, born August 12, 1908; Richard Bancroft, born May 21, 1910; Dorothea, born August 14, 1913; Hazel, born December 9, 1914; Diana, born April 9, 1916. BELDEN, Charles Rockwell, Business Man, Public Official. Charles Rockwell Belden was one of the most prominent and successful men of his day in his native city of Hartford, Connecticut, where he was born January 24, 1850. and died March 18, 1902. The first English ancestor of the family of whom there is record was Walter Bayldon, who married a daughter of Thomas Gargrave, and their son, John Bayldon, married (second) October 15, 1515, Mary Copely, daughter of Edward Copely, of Doncaster, Yorkshire. He died Decem- ber 22, 1526. George Baildon, their third
