  Founded and served as the first president of the Detroit Anti-Slavery Society. Shubael Conant was the son of Eleazar Conant (1751-1819) and Eunice Storrs (1750-1790). He never married. He left his estate (valued at $234,603.42 in 1867) to his nephews and his nieces. "Merchant [and silversmith], Detroit, Michigan, was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, August 1, 1783. He was apprenticed to the business of watch-making, at North Hampton, and became thoroughly familiar with that trade. When twenty-six years old, he engaged in mercantile pursuits, and July 5, 1810, came to Detroit with a stock of goods and opened a store on Jefferson avenue. Mr. Conant remained in business there until the surrender of the city of the British in 1812. He was a sergeant in Captain Solomon Sibly's company of militia at that time, and was one of those who vigorously protested against the surrender. Amid the confusion which ensued upon the occupation of the city by the British and Indians, business became very insecure, and, at the suggestion of his partner, Mr. Conant packed and stored their stock of goods, and left for New England. He remained there until the victory of Perry on Lake Erie, September 10, 1813, rendered it evident that the American rule would be permanently and securely established over the North-west. Mr. Conant returned to Detroit in 1813, and became connected with Colonel Stephen A. Mack, under the firm name of Mack & Conant. For several years this firm did as large a business as any house west of Albany, and contracted with the Government for supplying the different posts on the frontiers. In the prosecution of this trade, they made large advances to the Government, as well as to persons holding claims against it; and, owing to the delay and losses occasioned by the action of the Government in connection with these claims, they were finally compelled to make an assignment for the benefit of their Eastern creditors. Mr. Mack dying insolvent, the duty of paying the debts of the firm devolved on Mr. Conant; who, after years of toil and personal sacrifice, discharged every claim in full. After closing his commercial career, Mr. Conant acted as agent for the noted firm of Davis & Centre, of Albany, New York, in the purchase of furs. By his business skill, he managed to amass considerable means, and, at his death, left a large estate. He was the builder of the "Michigan Exchange" hotel, the block on Jefferson avenue, which bears his name, as well as other buildings of less prominence. He was a firm believer in the Christian religion, and a member of the Presbyterian denomination. At the time of his death, which occurred in 1867, he was connected with the Fort Street Presbyterian Church, and, in his daily life, bore witness to the faith which he professed." His life and conduct furnishes an example to young men of what the practice of industry, integrity and frugality in the affairs of life can accomplish, and if permitted to live to the age of eighty-four years may it be said of them, as of him: "Age sits with decent grace upon his visage. And worthily becomes his silver locks. He wears the marks of many years well spent, Of virtue, truth, well tried and wise experience."
