He lived on the south side of the old post road, near the entrance of the road to Holden. When he came here is un- certain, but probably with a family, as the births of his children, except the last, appear to have been entered on the record here, at one and the same time, and are as follows, viz: Abigail, b.

* He was Selectman, Rep., &c., and one of fifteen Grand Jurors, who, in April, 1774, refused, and, in a writing by them signed and presented to the Associate Jus- tices of the S. J. Court at Worcester, protested against being empanelled, if Chief Justice Oliver should be present on the bench ; " because (said they) we ap- prehend it would be highly injurious to subject a fellow countryman to a trial at a bar, where one of the Judges is convicted, in the minds of the people, of a crime, more heinous, in all probability, than any that might come before him." The pro- test was publicly read by the Clerk ; the Court (four Judges then on the bench) deliberated, and, at length, informed the jury, that it was not probable that the Chief Justice would attend to take his seat. They retired and consulted, and, after some delay, returned and were empannelled. The Chief Justice did not appear at Court. His " crime" was political ; he carried matters with a high hand, and for a short time, buffetted the tempest he had helped to raise. The other Judges, in the meantime, were conciliatory.
He was also one of the town's Committee of Correspondence in 1774 and 1775, but lived only to enter upon that perilous contest that soon after followed.
