Father Winter
Conant, father of our honored Secretary of State, graduated at Middlebury college in 1813, studied medicine, and joined his brother at Maumee, about 1816, and removed to Monroe about 1818, where, in 1820, he married Maria Stewart, (who is now living—1885) and resided there till his death, in 1851. Shubael and Horatio died several years ago.
These names are ample indorsement of the high social standing of the lady who was won by the self-made young man. He would tip the beam at two hundred, while she was a little body of some ninety pounds. But her history shows that she had a soul large enough for several bodies, could it have been divided.
