Trott, of Hebron, Ct., and afterwards was at Trenton and Monmouth, also at Prince- ton and White Plains. He was in the army 6 yrs., and was in the celebrated winter encampment at Valley Forge.

Abbot, of " Lebanon Crank, Ct.," ( a shipmaster, who was shot on the deck of his own vessel in an engagement, ) and bro. of Dr. Walter Abbot, of Salem, Mass.

In person, he was of a medium size, with a " Roman face and nose ;" a large, high, broad forehead ; a head of fine brown hair, which flowed down and curled around his neck ; and at the age of 60 he had not one grey hair. He was exceedingly athletic and nimble ; and at the age of 70, stood upon a level piece of ground, and sprang upon the back of a wild colt that had never been ridden. At the age of 84, he mowed in the field all the forenoon, with his hired man. He received a pension from Gov't., for many years previous to his decease. "The prominent traits in his character were courage and piety ; and he died as he had lived, a Christian soldier, and an honest man." ch .: 1. Wm .; 2. Henry; 3. Chas. 4. Thomas ; 5. Nancy, d. ; 6.

thy daughter's daughter hath a daughter." She is bright, and intelligent, and takes the charge of her own household, and of her invalid son, doing much of the labor herself, and is a highly worthy and respectable lady. She was m. at the early age of 16. Her husband was chosen Dea. of the Ch., in C., in 1802, and his religious character is ably set forth in the interesting Tract, No. 112, rub. by the Am. Tr. Ass'n. He was of a cheerful disposi- tion, liberal to the poor, upright in all his conduct, and a " con- sistent Christian." His death was peaceful, and the consolations of Christian hope attended him to the last. ch .: 1. Lydia, Dec. 13, 1782, m. Dea. Benj. Lyman, of Columbia. 2. Elvira, Nov. 4, 1784, m.
