Excerpt from Calvin Selden, of Lyme, and His Children: An Address Delivered at a Meeting of the Selden Family, at Fenwick Grove, Saybrook, Conn;, August 22, 1877

A few persons present at this gathering of the Selden family, who have long been residents of Lyme or the neighboring towns, and whose memory goes back of the year 1820, my venerable friend )ir. Matthew Griswold, for instance, may remember Calvin Selden, a life-long resident of Lyme.

He was of the fourth generation in descent from the emigrant ancestor of all of us, Thomas Selden, of Hartford; the line of descent being, Thomas Selden, Joseph Selden, who came to Hadlyme in 1696, Samuel Selden, of Lyme, and Ezra Selden, of Lyme, the father of Calvin.

Calvin Selden was, I am told, a man of thought and of extensive reading, for the time in which he lived, and, withal, a man of singularly pleasant and amiable disposition. He was commonly known as Squire Selden. He was born March 14, I 763, and was married Sept. 20, I 790, to Phebe, daughter of Elijah and Kate Ely. Their home was in North Lyme, and, like their children after them, they were fond of entertaining company. Scarcely any person of education or distinction passed through Lyme without stopping at their house. He died October 28, 1820, and his wife, whom I knew and loved as the kindest of grandmothers, survived him many years, dying at the home of her youngest daughter, October 15, 1853. Their children were six in number.
