Individual Notes
• 9th of 12 children. Married three times.3033, p 50

• James Congdon, born July 20, 1779, came to Wallingford in 1804 from North Kingston, RI. He had three wives: Lorenza Ives, Lorana Phillips, and Lydia Brock. He settled on the Sugar Hill section of town and there raised a goodly family of children. It has been said that during the haying season it was quite a sight to see ‘Uncle Hadley,’ as he was called, walking toward the hayfield, followed by nine sons, each over six feet in height, with scythe upon shoulder. ‘Over fifty-four feet of Congdon was the common way of expressing it.’
[Thorp’s “History of Wallingford” 1911]

• His 14 children, by three wives.3033, p 159

• His home was on Sugar Hill in the town of Wallingford, Vt.3033, p 159
