Hezekiah Blaisdell came from Amesbury, Mass., about 1795, and located in the extreme south part of Sutton, near Bradford. He built a small house of two rooms, such as most people built at that date, got his farm in good condi- tion, and then erected a saw-mill on his own premises, after which it was easy for him to build his large, two-story house, which has been occupied by his descendants ever since, till within a few years. He was an industrious, use- ful man, and accumulated a good property. The Blais- dells, in all their generations, in Amesbury as well as in Sutton, have been known as very capable, honorable, relia- ble men and women.
