William Claflin
William Claflin (March 6, 1818 – January 5, 1905) was an industrialist and philanthropist who served as the 27th Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from 1869–1872 and as a member of the United States Congress from 1877–1881.
==Early years and business==
William Claflin was born on March 6, 1818 in Milford, Massachusetts, to Lee and Sarah (Adams) Claflin.〔Hurd, p. 163〕 Lee Claflin was a self-made proprietor of a tannery and shoe factory in Milford, and a politically active abolitionist. William was educated first in the local schools and then at Milford Academy, before he enrolled in Brown University in 1833. His mother died in 1834 and his health was poor, so he left school and entered his father's business. After three years, with his health not improving, he traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, where from 1838 to 1844 he worked in the wholesale leather goods business. He then returned to Massachusetts, where he rejoined the family business and settled in Hopkinton.〔Ensign, p. 112〕
Claflin's father had begun his shoe manufacturing in partnership with Nathan Parker Coburn, and William continued that partnership.〔Hurd, pp. 671, 801〕 They expanded the business Lee Claflin founded, eventually building one of New England's largest boot factories in South Framingham in 1882.〔Hurd, p. 671〕 Claflin and Coburn would remain in active partnership until 1878, when Claflin withdrew from active participation, and their partnership was finally dissolved at the end of 1891 with Coburn's retirement.〔〔Davis, p. 293〕 The company assets, including plants in Framingham, Hopkinton, and Milford, were then taken over by younger partners.〔''Annual Report on the Statistics of Manufactures'', p. 306〕
