Individual Notes
• 2nd child and 2nd son3785
• [excerpts] He was extensively engaged in agriculture. He owned at the time of his decease not less than 2,000 acres of land, in Say-Brook, East Haddam, and Hebron, as appears from the probate records at New London. The town records, as well as the records of the secretary of state, abundantly show, that he was a man of extensive influence, in civil affairs. He was for many years, clerk of Oyster River Quarter, and commissioner and surveyor for the town of Say-Brook. But a short time after his father’s decease, her was elected representative to the state legislature, which office he filled, at eighteen sessions.
But his highest encomium is, that he “walked with God.” He, early in life experienced a change of heart, and connected himself with the church.3785, pp 68-9
• His tombstone stands in the old burial-ground, in Hartford, in the rear of the Center church, about a rod north of the monument, on which are inscribed the names of the first settlers of Hartford. Several of his numerous children died in infancy. But four of them married and raised families, and yet his descendants number more than the aggregate of both his brothers, John and Nathaniel.3785, p 69
