Asa, b. Aug. 31, 1788; m. Rebecca Babcock, at Framingham. Bereft of his mother at the age of nine years, and of his father at the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to a trade, and set up business for himself at Lunenburg, where he rose to the rank of Major in the militia. Having the misfortune to be burnt out, he was induced to remove to Louisiana, in 1816. Subsequently he went to Texas, to which place he moved his family in 1831. In the war which en- sued between Texas and Mexico, he took an active part, and served as commissary to the army. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Texan Independence, and afterwards became Treas- urer of the Republic ; an office which he held up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1844. A Texan paper, at that period, pays this just tribute to his memory. "Few men of such un- imposing bearing, and modest, unpretending demeanor, ever filled a larger share of public confidence than the subject of this notice. Holding the keys of the Treasury of the Republic, almost from its commencement, we presume no man can be found who would dare to question his integrity. As a private citizen, in all the relations of friend, neighbor, relative, husband and father, his life was beyond reproach." He had a family of three children, the youngest of which, Benjamin, was slain in the battle of St. Jacinto, on his 21st birth-day. Sukey, b. April 12, 1790; m. Stephen Howe, Jan. 29, 1809.
