FRENCH FAMILY.

Vt., Ashby, Mass .. Hollis, Brookline, and Jaffrey, from which last town he came to Wilton. Hle was in the army of the Revolution, and probably at that time his family were living in Rockingham.

5. BURLEIGH (3), b. Nov. 20, 1778; d. July 12, 1832. He came to Wilton with his father, and lived here the rest of his life. He was a miller and farmer. Owing to the frequency of his dam being carried off by freshets, he built, about 1812. a low dam, near where the upper part of the pond flowed, that turned enough of the water around the north side of the island to carry the mill; and also built the canal from the old saw- mill site down across the flat to the new mill which he built, and which has been lately burned. That arrangement continued until after Mr. French's death, when the property passed to other owners who once more rebuilt the dam on the old site, but it has often been carried off. When the last one was thus destroyed, the old plan was resumed of
