4. Moses, b. about 1719 ; settled in New Chester, as stated above, and there d. as late as 1787.
5. Samuel, son of Moses, was b. Southampton, Mass., 1752. He probably came to New Chester with his father, as he was here in 1771, and Sept. 27, of that year, purchased of John Tol- ford the westerly half of Lot 59, the easterly half being owned by his father. In the deed conveying this land he is spoken of as "Samuel Worthen of New Chester, blacksmith." In 1776, he purchased his father's half of this lot, and subsequently became the owner of 400 acres of land east of Bristol village and 160 acres on the New Hampton side of the Pemigewasset river, which later was known as the Robinson farm. He served in the Continental army. Samuel Worthen m. about 1782, Hannah Ingalls, b. 1759. She was distinguished for her great piety. She was one of the seven who composed the first Methodist class in Bristol, organized in 1801, and it was at her house that it had its weekly meetings for seven years. Years later, after listening to sermons by her two sons in the first Methodist chapel, she arose and testified, as was then the custom, and she then said that she had consecrated her children to the Lord before they were born. Samuel d. in Bristol, Apr. 29, 1824; she d. Aug. 28, 1832, both ae. 72 years.
