FISHER, ELIJAH.
D. 1842, aged 83; m. Jerusha Keene; d. 1840, aged 76. He was a Revolutionary soldier and fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. He was a member of Washington's Body Guard, and it is remarkable that beginning with his service in the army and until the close of the war, he kept a journal of all the important events with which he was connected. The War Department at Washington, fortunately secured a copy of this record, for the original was burned in the fire which destroyed the buildings in 1913. The original house first stood about twenty rods to the West, near a large elm tree and on a road leading directly to the old fulling mill on Bog Brook, the dam and foundation of which can still be seen.

FISHER, STEPHEN.
D. 1833, aged 51; m. Anstrus Leavitt, b. 1798. On the bank of the stream which flows into Brettun's Pond, west- erly of the Milton Leavitt homestead, stood a building. Stephen Fisher took it down carefully, made a raft of its timbers and boards, floated it down to the pond bridge, and hauled it to the Bog brook, making it into a "Fulling Mill." The dam and foundation can still be seen on the northerly side of the Strickland Ferry road where it crosses this stream.
At this time he lived in the house mentioned in con- nection with Ebenezer Keith's first residence. A fact well authenticated by Salome and Sarah Fisher and also by others, is that Fisher had a little girl who wandered away from home, in the direction of the swamp between the J. O. Palmer place and Dailey's Mills. Diligent search was made, but nothing found except one little shoe and part of a torn garment. One other fact remembered by the same neigh- bors, was that another little girl of Fisher's choked to death by swallowing an acorn shell which lodged in her throat. It is known that they had a daughter, Sally S., b. 1807, who married Sewell Spencer, familiarly known as "Uncle Jack."

GIBBS, PELETIAH, DEA.
D. 1846, aged 89; m. Anna Littlefield, d. 1816, aged 60. 2d, Mrs. Achsah Barber, d. 1849, aged 69. He was a Revo- lutionary soldier and came from Milford, Mass., to Liver- more in 1784, making his pitch or improvement on the farm now owned by E. H. Gibbs. We find by diligent search that it was the custom of the early settlers to find a suitable build- ing spot, near living water, on which to make a clearing, and if the soil proved productive and the surroundings agree- able, to purchase of the owner the lot on which his pitch was located. Sometime, they abandoned the effort, and these clearings were called "Improvements." This was just what Mr. Gibbs did, only be exchanged "Improvements" with Billy Carver, who had made his pitch on the farm now owned by J. M. Hinds. Mr. Gibbs thought that the land where Carver had made his pitch and built a log cabin was better adapted for pasturage than the "Intervale" and yet, neither had a deed of the land he occupied which was owned by Dea. Liv- ermore. We find several instances like this: One man

made a clearing and then found that it was on the corner of four lots, consequently he abandoned the pitch; a road is located as passing through Othinal Pratt's "Improvement," etc. However, Oct. 14, 1785, Dea. Gibbs bought of Liver- more Lot 33, now owned by J. M. Hinds, and the day before Livermore deeded to Billy Carver Lot 14, where E. H. Gibbs . now lives. Dea. Gibbs gave the land for the Loney grave- yard and requested that in it, his body be laid at rest, and there it is, although the tombstone stands in the Gibbs Cem- etery.
