17. Lieut. Jabez, son of James and Abigail (Hickox) Prichard, married Eunice, dau. of Samuel and Hannah (Prindle) Botsford, Oct. 31, 1764. Jabe: enlisted in Captain Carris' Co., July, 1777, and Col. Enos' regiment, who wa: in command of the guards at Horseneck, who were afterwards transferred to Major Humphrey's command, near Fort Independence. In the conflic at the fort he was with others taken prisoner. They were first confined a King's Bridge, New York, and afterwards they were confined in a prison ship on the North river. His captors took from him his commission and treated him with such brutal and inhuman treatment that he lived but a short time after his capture. It is evident that he was a man with a very generous and honorable character, from the fact that he might have escaped being taken prisoner, had he deserted a poor wounded comrade; but this he would not do and when he saw his comrades dying about him for want of food, he divided with them the money he possessed, which Capt. Bradford Steele says was the means that saved his life. Lieut. Jabez died on prison ship, 1777. Eu nice, his widow, married Elisha Steele.

His early education was that afforded by the public schools. He was engaged in the woolen busi- ness until 1865. In that year he began the study of medicine. He commenc- ed practicing in Royalston, Mass., continuing there until 1876, when he re- moved to Seymour, where he resided until his demise in June, 1893, at the age of sixty-six years. He was the oldest practitioner in the town and had a larger practice than any other physician there.
In politics he sided with the Republican party. He was a member of Morning Star Lodge, F. & A. M., of Seymour, and a member of the State Medical society. He married Sarah A., dan. of Chester Leonard, a lumber dealer of Dunkirk, who lost his life on Lake Erie.
