James Carr for the term of three years. He was stationed at Ticonderoga, but on the retreat from Burgoyne at the battle of Hubbardton he was wounded and taken prisoner. He, however, escaped in a few weeks and returned home. Recovering from his wounds, he returned and served the remainder of his time under Gen. Sullivan against the Indians in the Genesee country. He wrote a narrative of his army experience, the demand for which was sufficient to cause the issue of four editions, and in one edition the story was rendered in verse. He bought the mills of his father-in-law, which he managed for a considera- ble period, and in his later years he was occupied in the man- ufacture of trunks. He was one of the original members of the Baptist church of the town. Children :

He lived with or near his father in Davis Village, building and occupying as a store about 1785 the house afterward used as a bakehouse by Joseph Davis. He also built and carried on about ten years later probably the first of the little structures for the manufacture of potash, which for more than half a century gave value to the ashes left by the huge fireplaces of early days.
