He bought some land on the north part of lot 217, and in March, 1802, began to trade there, in a small building. According to his account- book, nails were then one shilling and six pence per pound ; 7x9 glass, ten cents per pane ; and six yards of purple calico, at 6s. 6d. per yard, or $4.88 for the whole, was enough to make a dress for Josiah Balls's wife ; while Elisha Wilson bought seven and a half yards of chintz, at 6s. 6d. per yard ; but whiskey was one dollar per gallon, and lump sugar thirty-nine cents per pound. He married in Jan., ISO8, with Mary Waldo, daughter of Dr. Joseph Waldo, and about that time built his house, which has since been occupied by the Rev. Marcus Ford, Lewis Smith, Harvey B.

Linus Gaylord, a brother of Horace Gaylord, and probably several years younger, had a wife Sarah, and they settled on the west side of the creek, on lot 59; in a log house which stood just northwest of the bridge which crosses the race of Sidney Belcher's saw mill. The new road up the west side of the creek covers the ground on which it stood, and a very handsome elm tree, which grew up in the southeast corner of the house still marks the spot. On the twenty-ninth day of June 1820. he went out after supper to cut a few more trees, to make his work for the day look a little better ; after a while his wife failed to hear his ax, and on going out to look for him found him senseless and bleeding with his skull broken by a falling limb. She made an alarm, and soon the neighbors came and carried him into the house. Dr. Waldo was called, and trepanned the skull but he did not rally from the shock, and died the next morning. Mrs. Gaylord returned fo Connecti- cut after a few years, with her children, three sons and two daughters, all of whom were less than ten years old at the father's death, and the youngest was born 6 Jan., 1820.
