Carran, Thomas G., Litchfield, was born in this town and owns a dairy farm of
160 acres.  He was collector of the town in 1874.  He is a son of Henry and
Philenda Carran, who had four children, of whom two are living:  Thomas G. and
Mary E.  Two died:  Francis M., who enlisted in Company B., 121st New York
Volunteers.  He was first corporal of his company, he was wounded in the battle
of Chancellorsville May 3, 1863, and died in the hospital June 5, 1863.  The
other son was William H., who died September 16, 1874, in his twenty-eighth
year.  He was educated at the Winfield Academy, read law with R. O. Jones, of
Utica, and was admitted to the bar.  After that he taught the Boonville Union
school nearly three years, and then went to New York city, in practice first
with the Gazzan Collection Company, after which he formed a co-partnership with
Mallory & Ritter, which firm existed until his death.  The father, Henry Carran,
was a native of the Isle of Man, and came to this town and settled near Cedar
Lake, about 1830.  He died December 1, 1852, in California, aged about thirty
four years, after being there only ten days.  The mother, Philender Carran, was
a native of this town, having been born on the same farm where the son and
daughter now live.  She was a daughter of Thomas Goodier, a son of Rev. Aaron
