When the township of Goshen was divided into shares and sold, Deacon Buell bid off one share, for 150 pounds, in the currency of the colony (old tenor). This was probably for his son Jonathan, who was then in his 21st year. The first meeting of the proprietors was held in his dwelling-house and he was chosen moderator. He super- intended the laying out of his lands here, and at the time of his death a very considerable portion of his real estate was held by him, both in L. and G. Shortly after his death all of the lands he owned in both these towns were divided by quitclaim deeds between his children.
Of his children, Mary, m. Col. Ebenezer Marsh of Litchfield. John, who was of age when his father left Lebanon, remained and lived and died there. Isaac, d. young. Peter, Ebenezer, and Solomon resided in Litchfield. Elizabeth, m. Ezra Plumb, March 29, 1739. Rachael, m. - Fitch of New Milford.

m. Lydia Landon of Litchfield, Dec. 10, 1741; b. at Southampton, L. I., about 1722; d. at Goshen Jan. 12, 1812. He d. at G. Aug. 20, 1796.
He was known as Captain Jona. Buell. He lived in the southern part of the town, on the line of L., about 70 rods south of the home, long known as the Brooks Place, his house painted red, now gone. When he built he supposed his house was about eight rods north of the Litchfield line, but later it was found that the line passed through his house, but he was always accounted a resident of G. They were both members of the Congregational Church in G., were ex- emplary in their lives, and left behind them good reasons why their posterity should call them blessed.

He d. at Litchfield, -, 1776. He was the first settled minister in Litchfield, and because of that became the owner of one proprietor's right, which iu this instance was one-sixtieth of the township. It is probable that it was through the influence of Dea- con John Buell, also from Lebanon, that he was called to the pas- torate. He was ordained in June, 1723, and continued in the min- isterial office until his dismissal in 1752. In 1753 he was appointed justice of the peace. While in the ministry he was well known as a practicing physician, and he made that his business after his dis- missal. He held the office of justice for a term of years and so united in his practice the three professions of theology, medicine, and law. (See physicians.)

Rev. Timothy Collins had purchased from Samuel Towner, 110 acres of land on the west side of East St., March 4, 1745. In July, 1759, he deeded 50 acres of this to his son Cyprian. The first pur- chase made by Cyprian was four acres on the west side of East St., of Benoni Hills, and upon this the house long occupied by his son Timothy was built. At the time of the purchase the house had been begun to be built by Hills, and it was from this, with additions, that the house now owned by Franklin Burton was built. So far as can be ascertained, this is - with a single exception - the oldest house in the town that is now, 1895, used as a residence.
Cyprian Collins was industrious and his large family were trained to similar babits. When he came to Goshen nothing had been done

He had sons, Isaac, John, Henry, and Samuel. Isaac is supposed to have remained at Plymouth, and John to have settled at Middle- town. Henry and Samuel settled at Wallingford, and are the an- cestors of most of the name of Cook in Connecticut, and of many in various parts of the country.
