He bought land and settled west of the river opposite his father's farm, and lived near the river, southeast from the house now owned by Orlin Allard, H. 71. His first house was burned 1786; Jacob, his son, re- built on the same spot, and there the father died. He was captain of an Oxford company in the French and Indian war. His commission as lieutenant in John Foy's Company, Ist Regt. Worcester Co. Militia, was dated 24 Sept., 1756, in 1757 he was promoted to captain, in 1751, was con- stable and collector of the State tax. A descendant relates an incident of Capt. John's experience, showing the strifes in early times as to land titles. He bar- gained for a lot of land, which included H. 69, near his own, but before the pur- chase was completed learned that there was another claimant to the premises. The seller informed him that the pretended owner would perhaps try to get pos- session and desired he would prevent it if possible. As was predicted the claim- ant appeared and cut down and hauled together a quantity of logs for a house. As soon as he left, Larned sent his son John to the spot with orders to split every log into fence rails, which was done after a very hard day's work. Soon thereafter, the claimant, who was in fact the owner, came upon the ground with two teams, one loaded with materials for a shanty, and the other with house- hold goods ; the shanty was erected, the goods set up and full possession of the property established. Larned thought he had run a narrow chance of losing his money, but as it was Continental currency his saving in that case did not avail him much. . . . Children : SARAH, b. 14 April, 1738, m.
