   [86]

        COL. CHARLES E. WALBRIDGE, founder of the well-known house of
     WALBRIDGE & Co., represents a high type of American business charact-
     er, citizenship and patriotism.
        The ancestors of COL. WALBRIDGE were among the settlers of New
     England.  HENRY WALBRIDGE lived in Norwich, Conn.  In 1760 he removed
     to Bennington, Vt.  He was a member of the Committee of Public Safety,
     and with his three sons was engaged in the battle of Bennington.  His
     wife, ANNA SAFFORD, was a granddaughter of CAPTAIN SAMUEL ROBINSON,
     the founder of Bennington. DAVID, son of HENRY and ANNA SAFFORD WAL-
     BRIDGE, married RUTH BRUSH.  About 1819 or 1820 the family removed to
     Byron, Genesee County, N.Y.  Shortly afterward they came to Buffalo.
     Finally the family removed to Erie, Pa., where, in 1829, DAVID WAL-
     BRIDGE died.
