FOREWORD

THE genealogy of Littleton was compiled by GEORGE C. FURBER in 1896 and printed in 1897-8.
A fire destroyed the work in 1898 and made necessary a reprint,
which was prepared under the supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS.
The extent of the errata is chiefly due to incorrect material furnished by individuals concerning their ancestry.

M.) was established at that place, and both firms have been continued from the dates above named to the present time, although Mr. Bingham has been less active in his law business in his later years, having given his time and attention more and more largely to recreation, travel, and literature. In his legislative service, covering a longer number of terms than any of his contemporaries in this State, he often participated in debate with carefully prepared arguments, and not unfrequently contributed formal reports, embodying the results of careful research and reasoning.

Caperton, and widow of Judge James F. Patton. He was educated at the public schools, at Peacham, Vt , Academy, and at Marietta, Ohio, College, but did not graduate. He read for his profession with Judge Joseph Miller at Chilicothe, Ohio, with his brother Harry Bingham at Littleton from May, 1848, to Sept. 1849. He returned to Ohio and studied with Judge Miller until he was admitted to the Bar in Georgetown, Ohio, May 21, 1850. Immediately he opened a law office at McArthur, the county-seat of the then new county of Vinton, where he remained in an active and successful practice eleven years. During a portion of this period he was a member of the law firms of Hewett & Bingham and Bingham & Hamilton. In November of the first year of his practice a vacancy occurred in the office of Prosecuting Attorney, and he was complimented with the appointment, and was re-elected in 1851 and 1853. He represented Vinton and Jackson Counties in the House of Representatives (Democrat), 1856, 1857, and refused a reelection. In 1858 he was a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the Judicial District, and with the remainder of the ticket he was defeated. He was a delegate from the Eleventh Congressional District to the memorable Democratic National Convention of 1860, held at Charleston, S.C., and by adjournment at Baltimore, Md. The activity of the young lawyer surpassed the growth of the new county in which he labored. He sought a more extended field for the practice of his profession. In 1861 he removed to Columbus, Ohio. From 1863 to 1868 he was a member of the Board of Education of Columbus, and from 1867 to 1871 the Solicitor of the city. In 1868 he was an efficient chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee, and was again a delegate to the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis in 1876. In his professional labors at Columbus he was successively a member of the law firms of Bingham & Hewett, Wilson & Bingham, Bingham & McGuffy, and Bingham & Smith. These were years of professional activity and reward, and his promotion to the bench was not long deferred. In April, 1873, he was elected without opposition Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial District, and by re-election was continued on the bench of that court until 1887, when he was appointed by President Cleveland Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, which position he holds at the present time. His published works of greater moment are his opinions appearing in the Reports of the court over which he presides. Ch. by w. Susannah. i. Lucy, b. McArthur, Ohio, 1852, d.
