in after life. It has been related, that the Elder has often been heard to say that for this education he should have reason to bless God to all eternity. He was first chosen Deacon and afterwards Elder, and was the last who held that office. In those days the office of Elder was one of great consideration. An Elder was regarded as the virtual representative of the church, and on an equality with the Pastor. He was bound to keep a watchful eye over the doctrines preached as well as the princi- ples and practices of the brethren.
The Elder's house stood on the west side of the road near Eel River bridge. His descendants are numerous, and are represented in the names of Kempton, Doten, Paddock and Finney, as well as by his own family name.

He was a Justice of the Court of Com- mon Pleas, and his death was lamented throughout the county. At the opening of the Court, at the next term of the Court after his death, the Chief Justice, Nicholas Sever, and Peter Oliver, an Associate Justice of the Court, both expressed their great grief and sorrow with which the Court and bar were affected by the melancholy event, and observed that Col. Lothrop was held in profound regard as a Judge, and was greatly respected for his moral and Christian virtues. He possessed a large es- tate, and transacted extensive business in the mercantile line, in which he sustained an honorable and upright character. Few men have been more beloved, nor any whose death could diffuse more heartfelt sorrow among the poor, and in every social circle. He had five children, four sons and one danghter.
