WILLIAM R. CONE.
William R. Cone, of Hartford, son of Joseph W. and
Mehitabel Cone, was born at East Haddam in 1810.
He became a student at Yale College in 1826, studied law in
that institution, and was admitted to the bar at New Haven
in 1832. He then became a partner in practice with
William Hungerford, Esq., and the partnership continued
till the death of the latter, though after 1860, he refused
further retainers.
Besides his professional business, Mr. Cone had
been largely connected with many of the important
enterprises of the day, a list of which cannot be given for
want of space.
His wife, to whom he was married in 1833, was
Rebecca Brewster, seventh in descent from the Puritan
Elder, William Brewster.
