At this time there were but a few houses at the Narrows, most of the trade cen- tering at the old village of Derby and at Hawkins Point, and hence the trade was not sufficient at the Narrows to sustain a store. After this he engaged more entirely in the West India trade, and in which " he had gained a modest competency a second time, when the sinking of a brig, the cargo of which belonged to him, brought him to poverty once more ; after which he made a living, in his old age by trading in a small way in the towns about Derby."15 Children :
