CHILDS, TIMOTHY, m. Nancy, dau. of Seth Wadhams, of South Goshen. He purchased the farm with the new house on it that Gen. Epaphras Sheldon had owned in the southwest corner of the town. He was an eccentric, energetic business man and farmer. He was a drover and brought into the town many cattle from the west. A story is related of this family that is illustrative of family government in those times. The father being displeased with his daughter thought it necessary to inflict chastisement by way of whipping, and started to execute the purpose. The daughter, then nearly grown to womanhood, ran down stairs and ran round the big chimney, the father following, she keeping out of the reach of the parent. Soon he began to weary, and then to scold in a scripture way : "Children obey your parents," " children obey your parents." . Upon which the daughter, having been trained
