From http://www.thacherfamily.org/tng/getperson.php?personID=I104541&tree=thacher:

Thomas Anthony Thacher was a professor at Yale College; he graduated Yale College 1835; studied in Germany 1843 - 1845.

On Sept. 16, 1846, he married Olivia Day, better known as Livy, the daughter of President Jeremiah Day [q.v.] of Yale. She died on May 18, 1858, leaving five sons, and on Aug. 1, 1860, he married her cousin Elizabeth Baldwin Sherman, who with three sons and one daughter survived him. Both wives were granddaughters of founding father Roger Sherman.

His son Thomas Thacher was a prominent lawyer. His sons Sherman Day Thacher and William Larned Thacher were the founder of the Thacher School in Ojai, California; and his daughter Elizabeth Sherman Thacher married William Kent (U.S. Congressman). He was also the paternal grandfather of US Solicitor General Thomas D. Thacher and Molly Kazan, and the great-great-grandfather of actress and writer Zoe Kazan.

Thomas A. Thacher was born in Hartford, Conn., the son of Anne (née Parks) and Peter Thacher. His first American ancestor on his father's side was Thomas Thacher who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1635, and later became minister of the Old South Church in Boston; on his mother's side he was descended from the Rev. Thomas Buckingham of Saybrook, one of the founders of the Collegiate School of Connecticut, since known as Yale College. He had his preparatory training at the Hopkins Grammar School, Hartford, and graduated from Yale with the class of 1835; where he was a member of Skull and Bones.

Thomas married Elizabeth Baldwin Sherman on 1 Aug 1860 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. Elizabeth (daughter of Roger Sherman and Susanna Staples) was born on 27 Oct 1823 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut; died on 10 Mar 1917 in Nordhoff, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: 23 Aug 1860, Ripon, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Notes:

From The Stowell Genealogy (citation details below):

There are so many of the Stowell name who have been Communicants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and who have held prominent positions in it, that a short history of how they became members may be interesting.

They are all descendants of Augustus Oliver Artemas Stowell who was the first one of the name to join. He was a prominent lawyer of Westfield, N.Y. which place with Palmyra was the first center of the new faith founded in 1830. The following account of the way Augustus O.A. came to join the Church was written by his son William Rufus Rogers Stowell and has been taken from his family records.

"In Feb. 1833, when Augustus O.A. and his oldest son Dan were going to Westfield, N. Y. they overtook a Mrs. Brewster and invited her to ride. He remarked 'It is a very cold day.' She replied, 'Yes, it is exceedingly cold, nevertheless, it did not prevent five persons from being baptised today. He expressed surprise and inquired, 'Of what denomination?' She replied. 'Mormon.' He remarked he had never before heard of such a religion. She replied, 'They are a new sect of religionists and I am now on my way to attend one of their meetings.' She extended to him an invitation to be present which he accepted, sending his son Dan home with the team to inform his family."

"About eleven o'clock A.M. next day he arrived home accompanied by a Mr. Higbee who came with him to the saw mill of Augustus O.A. to buy a load of lumber. An important feature was that Augustus O.A. brought home with him a 'Book of Mormon' which had been loaned him by a neighbor, Mr. John Gould. He told his family what he had seen and heard, read the book, became absorbed in it and studied it intently, but made no comment until after he had twice carefully read it through, when he closed it with emphasis and said with conviction, 'That book is as true as the Bible.' This copy was of the first edition, printed in Palmyra, N.Y. in 1830 and is still in possession of the family."

"Augustus O.A. was baptised in his own mill pond by Elder James Higbee, the same man who accompanied him home from that first meeting. Soon after this his wife, his eldest son Dan and some of his daughters joined, but the second son William Rufus Rogers did not join until Aug. 1834, a year later."

"At this time the Mormons who were actively proselyting were also being subjected to violent persecutions, their property destroyed, and their persons assailed by hostile mobs, so they were forced to move from place to place, gradually gravitating West into what was then a new and sparsely populated country. They finally selected Jackson County, Missouri, as their prospective central headquarters."

"In 1834 a military body called 'Zion Camp' composed wholly of Mormons was organized and marched from Ohio to Missouri to defend their brethern, while the Elders strove to prevent the disintegration of their Church, already commenced, because of apostacy through fear and persecutions."

"These persecutions had an important bearing upon the relationship of Augustus O.A. to the Mormon Church for they served to weaken his faith in his religion. He was a strong patriot and a loyal citizen to his Government which he thought the Church antagonized. These views caused him to sacrifice his religion to his patriotism and he withdrew from the Church. He was doubtless honest in his motives but in error as to his facts. He returned to Westfield, N.Y., resumed the practice of law and became prominent in his profession, having previously been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of N.Y., 11 May 1808. He became intolerant and finally forbid his wife and children from attending Church or associating with the Saints, but his son William Rufus Rogers continued in the Church. He had accompanied them in their migrations to Nauvoo, Ill. and was Captain of a military company in the pilgrimage over the Desert to Salt Lake City and in all their battles with the hostile Indians. He was ordained an Elder and rose through all the various Church offices until he became a Patriarch, the highest of all except the President."

To make the record complete it might be added that none of the brothers or sisters of Augustus O.A. ever joined the Mormon Church. Some of the daughters of A. O. A. however, joined and remained in it. Dan, the eldest son of A.O.A. joined when a boy, but after he grew up lost all interest in the Church and remained in New York and Indiana until 1853 when he started with his wife and family of six children for California, but was killed while on the way by the Indians at the massacre at Provo, 16 March 1854. Some of Dan's descendants are members of the Church and some are not.

Augustus, the third and only other son of A.O.A., remained in New York State and never joined the Mormon Church, nor did any of his children.

Augustus married Mary Stephens Holmes in 1820. Mary (daughter of James Holmes and Milly Rawson) was born on 15 Sep 1797 in Warwick, Franklin, Massachusetts; died on 20 Nov 1885 in Ogden, Weber, Utah; was buried in Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Utah. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From www.ywcasf-marin.org/marin-womens-hall-fame/honorees/elizabeth-thacher-kent:

Elizabeth Thacher Kent, a matriarch in the founding family of Kentfield, is one of the few Marin County women to be elected posthumously to the Marin Women's Hall of Fame. Kent was a distinguished proponent of women's rights and international peace and was instrumental in securing women's right to vote.

Kent took up permanent residence in Marin in 1907 and immediately became a vocal activist in support of women's' suffrage. When her husband, William, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, Kent leveraged her position as a Congressman's wife to support the national suffrage movement. She was a featured speaker at the 1913 and 1914 conventions of the National American Women's Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and shortly thereafter assumed leadership of their Congressional Committee. By 1915, she helped form the Congressional Union (later re-named the Women's Party), which picketed the White House in support of suffrage. Kent was arrested twice for her suffrage demonstrating. However, her cause prevailed and in August 1920 the Susan B. Anthony Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed guaranteeing American women the right to vote.

In addition to supporting suffrage, Elizabeth Kent was committed to the cause of world peace. In the 1930's, she provided leadership to the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. She and her husband were also early supporters of the fledging conservation movement. They donated a large tract of land to the U.S. Government to preserve old-growth redwoods. Their gift, the Muir Woods National Monument, provides a lasting testimony to the Kents' exemplary lives of public service.

Elizabeth married Rep. William Kent on 26 Feb 1890 in Nordhoff, California. Rep. (son of Albert Emmet Kent and Adaline Elizabeth Dutton) was born on 29 Mar 1864 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois; died on 13 Mar 1928 in Kentfield, Marin, California. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Elizabeth 'Bibbs' [sic] Arnold of Los Altos, a mathematician, environmentalist and wildlife advocate who helped crack the Japanese code during World War II, died Friday, Sept. 18, 1992, at her Los Altos Hills home of lung cancer. She was 76.

A native of San Francisco, Dr. Arnold was reared in Marin County and was the oldest grandchild of Rep. William Kent, for whom the city of Kentfield was named.

The daughter of a prominent San Francisco attorney, Eugene Arnold, she attended the Katherine Branson School in Ross and graduated first in her class in 1932. The school later named a day in her honor after she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Vassar College in her junior year.

After graduating from Vassar in 1937, Dr. Arnold earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1941.

During World War II, Dr. Arnold was recruited by the Navy and worked on a team of cryptographers cracking Japanese codes, for which she received a Meritorious Civilian Service Award.

In the 1960s, Dr. Arnold worked on machine language translation at Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. Inc.

After her retirement in 1969, Dr. Arnold helped establish a recycling center in Los Altos and worked with Wildlife Rescue, helping injured animals.

Dr. Arnold is survived by her husband of 46 years, Dr. William Francis Whitmore of Los Altos; four sons, Charles Whitmore of Washington, D.C., Edward Whitmore of San Francisco, Thomas Whitmore of Oakland and Peter Whitmore of Victoria, B.C. Also surviving are her brothers, George Stanleigh Arnold of Kentfield, Peter Arnold of Grass Valley and Anthony Arnold of Novato.

-----

Note that the above obituary is in error in two respects. Her father was George Stanleigh Arnold, not Eugene Arnold; and her family nickname was "Bibba", not "Bibbs."

Her page at the Mathematics Genealogy Project is here, showing her to be a generation of advisors closer to Felix Klein than her husband was.
