His wife soon followed him, dying Nov. 4, 1805. When he settled he supposed his farm was within the limits of the town of Plainfield, but afterward when the lines were established, it was found that it ran about 20 rods north of his house, thus placing his home outside of Plainfield, and in the town of Cornish. This was a great grief to him. Children:
