6. Phineas, son of Nathaniel 5, blacksmith; moved to Sturbridge with his father, whence he removed to Woodstock, Ct.
He bought a large tract of land in Stafford, Vt., commenced clearing it, built a saw-mill, intending to remove his family there, which was then a frontier settlement. But his brother-in-law, Asa Hyde, who owned a farm in Woodstock, exchanged it with him for a part of his Vermont purchase, and removed there, Mr. Walker re- maining in Woodstock. His patriotism was illustrated by the fact that when he was making his purchase in Vermont he had in his saddle-bags a thousand silver dollars, for which he was offered the whole town of Peacham; but, knowing that the colo- nies were in almost "perishing need " of money, and in as much as he was not then actively in the field, he chose to serve his country by loaning to it the thousand dol- lars; for which he only received, long after, a piece of land worth about fifty dollars.
He had previously been in the French war, and also in the battles of Crown Point and Ticonderoga. A man of sterling principles, prominent in all the reforms of the time; a strong temperance man ; a humble and devout Christian. He lived re- spected, and died lamented.

wards owned and occupied by his son Amasa, who improved the place by add- ing a front of more modern style of architecture to the house, beautifying the grounds, planting trees, etc. The place is now owned by Mrs. A. II. Batcheller, daughter of Hon. Amasa Walker.
Here Deacon Walker lived over thirty years, and died Dec. 14, 1835. He was appointed deacon of the Second Church in Brookfield, now the First Congrega- tional Church of North Brookfield, in 1806, which office he held till his death. He was a prominent citizen for many years, or during his entire residence here. His whole character is justly described by Rev. Dr. Snell in his fortieth anniver- sary sermon in 1838 :-
" Deacon Walker, who continued in office nearly thirty years, was a very useful man in church as well as in society. His influence was uniformly in support of order, peace, and religion. He aided in works of benevolence at home and abroad, and wished that to be done which would promote the cause of Christ, while he af- forded his personal service in the prayer-meeting, the religious conference, and the Sabbath school."
