The following lines of descent have been traced with great care, but it can hardly be expected that they are entirely free from error. It is hoped, however, that the errors are not serious. Apparently two of the emigrant ancestors are represented in New Ipswich, but their descen- dants have intermarried so that it has seemed best to present the two lines together.

He lived for a time in Windsor, Vt., and removed thence in 1795 to Waitsfield in the same state, which was his home for a considerable period. Tradition supported by the still existing remembrance of a few pieces of furniture some- what defaced by fire, said to have been brought to New Ips- wich by his son, gives an account of the destruction of his dwelling by fire, and says that his wife, venturing within the building to rescue some prized article, there perished with a babe in her arms.
