Napoleon Bonaparte [Roundy] was born January 22, 1801. His early life was spent in Rockingham which he represented in the Vermont Legislature of 1832 and 1833; he was postmaster at Rockingham from 1833-1834. He removed soon afterward to Perkinsville, Vermont, a village in the western part of Weathersfield, Vermont, where he lived for the remainder of his life in the house used in recent years for the post office. While never a member of the Windsor County Bar, he was for all practical purposes an attorney for all who sought his advice. Though strictly a layman, he was elected by the people of Windsor County as Assistant Judge of the County Court, 1856-1859. A man of thrift and integrity, his own personal inventory of mortgage and other notes held by him amounted in 1866 to $23,497.88.
He married Mary Boynton of Rockingham, Vermont. Their one son, Royal Benton, lived also in Perkinsville and followed in the footsteps of his father as legal advisor to those who sought his advice. A member of the class of 1859, he spent the two years of 1855-1857 in Williams College. He had the reputation of an educated man in a small Vermont village. The later years of his life were spent in Saratoga Spring, New York, where he died May 11, 1895. The following paragraph is from the 25-year report of his class:
Royal Benton Roundy came to college from Perkinsville, Vermont. He was fitted for college at Kimball Union Academy (Meriden, New Hampshire), and spent freshman and sophomore years with the class. He then returned to his native place, read law, and has been in practice in that town.
Napoleon Bonaparte died August 13, 1871; his wife died November 19, 1889. Along with their son, they are buried in the Plains Cemetery two miles east of the village of Perkinsville. A red Scotch granite monument seven or eight feet high, at the left of the main entrance, marks their burial place.
