Eliphalet (1773-1866), a Presbyterian clergyman known as a gifted pulpit orator, served churches in state before becoming president of in 1804. He remained president for 62 years, building the school's academic reputation and providing for a secure endowment fund. His brother Samuel (1754-1852) served the Franklin (Ct.) as for 70 years.

His younger brother Eliphalet was one of the students he instructed. Biography (cont.)

Roxana Peck (1785-1876) spent her childhood in Franklin, Ct. Before her marriage to Samuel (1787-1869) in 1812, she had taught school at various places in Connecticut and . Shortly after their marriage, Roxana and Samuel went to as part of the first group of commissioned by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. They were compelled to return to the United States in 1816 because of ill health, and were released from Board service at that time. For several years Samuel taught in . In 1823 the family moved to Galway, NY, where he became pastor of a Presbyterian church there; and in 1829 he became pastor of the Congregational church in Wareham, Ma. Samuel returned to teaching in 1849; and the family moved to Hartford in 1866.

Little is known about the lives of three children of Roxana and Samuel: Eliphalet, Harriet, and Sarah Maria (1826-1910). Regarding four other children, Gordon Hall (d.1903?) and Samuel (1815-1899) were civil engineers whose professional work was with various railway companies. William (1817-1890) was a seaman; and John Wade (1822-1911) was an Episcopal rector.
