Excerpt from Records of the Governor and Council of the State of Vermont, Vol. 7 Mr. Dana died June 22 1848. Judah Dana, U. S. Senator from Maine, was a brother, and Gov. John W. Dana of Maine a nephew. Charles S. Dana, present U.S. Collector of internal revenue in Vermont, is a son. - Vt. Historical Magazine, title Danville; and Deming's Catalogue. Jabez Proctor was born in Westford, Mass., April 22, 1780, and came to what is now Proctorsville, Vt., with his father's family, in February 1784, his father being the first settler there. During minority he was employed in agriculture, merchandizing, and hotel keeping; but on becoming of age he entered into an universal partnership, as it was called, with a brother, doing a large and successful business, with no separate accounts between the partners, but paying all family and other expenses out of the common fund - a fact which attests the perfect confidence of each brother in the integrity of the other. He was Councillor five years, 1822 until 1827; Judge of Probate for the District of Windsor four years, 1830 until 1834; and Presidential elector in 1824, and again in 1836, heading the list and being the messenger to carry the vote of the state to Washington. When Councillor, he boarded in a family with which the editor of this volume is connected, and the tradition is that he was a safe Councillor, careful in coming to his conclusions, and firm in his adherence to them. He was father of Gov. Redfield Proctor, the present [1878-'9] executive of the state. Uriel C. Hatch represented Cavendish in the Constitutional Convention of 1814, and in the General Assembly eleven years, 1809 until 1818, and 1819 and 1821; was Judge of Probate in 1821, and Councillor in 1822. In the election of 1822 it happened that Rutland County failed of having a Councillor by reason of too many candidates, and Windsor County received a double portion, in Messrs. Proctor and Hatch, who were residents of the same town. In the succeeding election a Councillor was restored to Rutland County, in the place of Mr. Hatch. Eben W. Judd was Delegate from Middlebury in the Constitutional Convention of 1822, Assistant Judge of Addison County Court 1825 until 1829, and Councillor one term. - Deming's Catalogue.
