HISTORY OF FITZWILLIAM.
1
ABIJAH STOWELL and w. Mary came to F. prob. late in 1795 or early in 1796, as a poll tax is first set to him in the latter y., though he had paid a property tax here for several y. previous. In 1789 he was taxed on L 20 R 4, which had been taxed in 1788 to Nedom (Needham) Maynard. It is supposed that he came here from Natick, Mass., as in the town tax-list of 1793* he is described as of N. He had previously lived in Fram- ingham. The old Hist. of Fram. gives the dates of 6 ch. bapt. in Fram., and quotes from Dea. Bnekminster's Journal : " Mr. Stowell moved away Apr. 10, 1786." The late IJist. of Fram. adds : " though he remained in town for two years." Mr. S. d. in F. Sept. 6, 1800, but his age is not given. His "heirs" were taxed in 1801, 2 and 3 and his wid. in 1803 and 4. Ile had, per- haps, more than one ch. younger than Isaac.
