Notes
a. Note:   Anson married Eliza Catlin, sister of George Catlin who has left some reputation as an author and artist of Indian Life. She was born Apr. 27, 1798 and died Nov. 1, 1865. Anson lived for a time at Delta in Oneida Co., N. Y. He went to Wilkesbarre, Pa., where he met Eliza Catlin. She was a dau. of Putnam Catlin, a lawyer and banker of that city. For years he worked as a jack-of-all-trades. For a time he lived on the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane in New York. Having become a druggist, he is said to have imported the first ounce of quinine from France. Later he purchased a flouring mill at Delta. He then engaged in the lumber business and in land speculations. He organized a land company and purchased lands at Green Bay, Wis. This company failed during the panic of '36 and '37. In 1840 together with his sons he went by canal and the Great Lakes to Green Bay, Wis. He lived here for a number of years enduring the greatest hardships in his attempt to clear a farm. In 1850 he was appointed an Indian Agent in the State of Oregon. He had traveled through some parts of the West with his brother-in-law George Catlin. He was later a member of the official family of the American Minister to Italy. He finally died in the City of Washington. The career of his family in the settlement of Winnebego Co., was so full of adventure and so typical of the experiences of the early settlers that his life has been made the subject of an especial investigation by the Wisconsin Historical Society. His son Richard founded and gave name to the present village of Dartford.

  Hon. Anson DART. For some years Mr. DART was employed as superintendent of Indian Affairs for Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with headquarters at Vancouver. Identified with the far west from the early '40s, he was intimately associated with the development of a state and the building up of a great commonwealth. He gave Major SIMMS the first permit to trade with Indians in Walla Walla, and also introduced the first wheat there. One of his sons, George W. DART, was also a pioneer of Oregon and became a wealthy trader.
