Lydia Peters of Coventry, Conn., March 2, 1775. He followed the war that "tried men's souls;" was in the battle of Bunker Hill, the battles on Long Island, Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Yorktown. He was in service nearly, or quite, the entire time of the war, and while he lived was fond of relating incidents which came under his observation. After peace was declared and he had obtained his discharge, in 1783, he traveled from Windham, Conn., to Poultney, and bought a place of one James Smith, a mile or so north of East Poultney, and settled on it. He gave Smith a horse, saddle and bridle as part payment, ( no inconsid- erable amount in those days,) and after some improvements lost the whole by a failure of title in Smith. He then bought the place where Noah Fenton now lives, where he lived until his death. This he bought of Dea. Silas Howe; four years time was given him for payments which were to be made in barrels, to be delivered at the whipping post on Poultney Green, a cer- tain number each year ( Mr. Manning was a cooper). He made his payments, cleared up and improved his farm, and raised a family of ten children. One, Esther, was b. in Connecticut, the others in Poultney. Capt. Dan. lived to be an old man; the date of his death cannot be given.

Merritt now lives in. Wisconsin. He had four sons in the war of 1861, Rollin E., Albert E., Pulaski and Egbert. Rollin E. was an officer in Harris' Light Cavalry, and fell while leading a charge.

Robert E. is a graduate of Middlebury College, and has had considerable experience as a teacher; he has been a teacher of languages in' Castleton Sem- inary the last year.
MARSHALL-Ichabod and Joseph Marshall, brothers, were among the earliest settlers of the town. Both raised large families, and that part of their history connected with the early settlement of the town, is one of much interest. Some portion of that history before appears in this work, and, necessarily, some portion that would be of interest must be omitted for want of space.
Ichabod Marshall was born in New Marlboro, Mass., in Aug. 1741. Of his ancestors but little is known, except that they were of English descent, and came to this country in the carly

part of its history. He married Lydia Stearns, Nov. 1760. She was born in Mendon, Mass., Feb. 20, 1744. She was of English descent; the coat of arms of her family was presented to her grandson Ichabod Marshall, who recently died in the State of Wisconsin. From the date of old deeds that have been pre- served, it is evident that Ichabod Marshall arrived in Poultney with his family in December, 1772. Mr. Marshall was then 31 years old-his wife 28. They had six children when they came. The journey was through an almost unbroken wilderness for 60 er 70 miles; it was made with one horse, which brought upon its back, Lydia, a feather bed, two infant children, and all the furniture the family had for keeping house. Ichabod made the journey on foot, as did four children, aged respectively, ten, eight, six and four years. They drove a cow, and thus they came to Poultney. They settled where Horatio Marshall now resides, and this farm has to this day been in the ownership and possession of members of the Marshall family.
Ichabod and Lydia Marshall had fourteen children; all lived to grow up-all but one married. The following are their names, dates of birth, and names of persons whom they married:
Jonathan, b. Dec. 23, 1762; m. Rhoda Ashley.

chandize for his son-in-law, Hollenbeck, who kept a store at the "dug way," where Charles Beals recently lived, he fell from his wagon, the wheels passed over him, and gave him his death wound. His wife hearing the sad news arrived at his bed side in time to listen to his expiring groans and close his eyes in death. She remained his widow until Oct. 1836, when she died. A year or two before her death, there were together at her house five persons representing five generations of regular de- scent; they were herself, Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Harvey Finel, Mrs. Charlotte Dewey, with her son Edwin S. Dewey, sitting in the lap cf his oldest grandmother.
The descendants of Ichabod and Lydia Marshall have been numerous, and it is impossible, with our limits, to trace them all out; so far as we are able to do this, we shall confine ourselves mainly to those who have lived in Poultney.
Paul, the second son of Ichabod, was killed Feb. 25, 1788, by a loaded sled running over his body. Rollin, who until recently resided in Poultney (now resides in Hampton), was a son of Timothy Marshall. Ichabod, 2d, who died recently at Winona, Wisconsin, was a brother of Rollin; he was much engaged in teaching in his early life, and a man of intelligence. Stearns Marshall succeeded to the homestead, where he lived until his death. He had a family of ten children; their names, dates of birth, and the names of whom they married, are as follows: Lydia, b. July 22, 1811; m. Stephen Scott; d. Aug. 11, 1853. Harvey, b. Jan. 22, 1814; m. Angeline Brown, Sept 14, 1837. Amanda, b. May 23, 1816; m. S. II. Marshall, Sept. 19, 1838. James, b. March 20, 1819; m. Calista Austin, Sept. 19, 1838. Mary Ann, b.

The Morse family or families which sprang from Joseph and Anna (Coleman) Morse, have been numerous, and from the early history of Poultney, have been identified with the inter- ests of the town. The Congregational Church has drawn largely from the Morso families for its support; and these families have contributed much to sustain the many and varied interests of the town during a period of almost a hundred years. The vener- able Joseph Morse, second son of Joseph, Sen., now about 83 years old, and his sister, Mrs. Dewey, still remain with us.
