Notes on Francis Bates Chedsey |
|---|
Mr. Chedsey was born at Durham, Connecticut on July 10, 1846, a son of Charles P. and Sarah Canfield [ Squires ] Chedsey and a member of the old and distinguished Connecticut family of this name. The American progenitor, from whom he was directly descended, was John Chedsey [ Chidsey ], who came from England and became a pioneer settler of New Haven in 1638. He was a deacon of the Center New Haven Congregational Church. On the paternal side Francis Bates Chedsey was a descendant of Private Nathan Chidsey and Private Charles Coe, and on the maternal side of Colonel Camp and Private Phineas Squires, both from Connecticut, all these having served in the Revolutionary War. |
Francis Bates Chedsey, Real Estate Lawyer, for 66 years without interuption, F.B. Chedsey was engaged in the practice of law in New York City. F. B. recieved a good general education in the local schools of North Guilford, Conn. meanwhile assisting his father in the duties on the family farm. At the age of 17, however, in the fall of 1863, he went to work at a dry goods store in Hartford, Conn. where he worked until he reached the age of 19. In the fall of 1865, he removed to New York City and joined his uncle Nathan A. Chedsey, who was engaged in the practice of law. F.B. read and studied law under the guidance of his uncle, and was admitted to the bar in1868, and remained with his uncle until 1888. He then opened his own office in the old Stewart Building, on lower Broadway, which was his headquarters for many years. F.B. was a Republican in politics and a member for many years fo the Dutch Reformed Church and later of the Presbyterian Church, although he was reared in the Congregational faith. He had little interest in social life, as the term was commonly understood, dividing his attention proncipally between his practice and his home. He was a lover of horses and dogs, however, and was fond of hunting, a sport in which he actively participated until his 74th year, he was also a bowling enthusiast. He planted maple switches by the side of the road from where he lived in North Guilford to Middletown. Most of the trees are still standing, old and large now with the shade his wife enjoyed. It was a long way and must have taken a long, long time. |
