Individual Details
William Bancroft
(8 Oct 1824 - 30 Oct 1895)
"One of Uncle [Dyer Bancroft's] boys--William, I think, the one intended for a scholar, at any rate--had given up going to college, and after some consultation it was agreed that he should spend the winter in Lower Sandusky [later Fremont, Ohio] where [John R.] Pease is to use him as a tinker, a peddler, clerk of whatever he pleases, and see what he is good for. He looks like a tolerable sort of boy, but he was as solemn as a gravestone, owing in part doubtless to a stiff neck in consequence of a cold caught in haying..."
