• Notes

  From FindaGrave: It is said he was a soldier of the Revolution and participated in battles of Bunker Hill and Bennington. After his settlement in Cornish he helped organize the Cornish Baptist Church in 1789 and was one of its first Deacons. He later became popular as a Baptist preacher. Later his views changed and he became a Universalist and as such settled as pastor in Shewsbury and Wallingford, Vt. and finally in Clarendon, Vt. where he died. His remains were brought to Cornish and buried beside those of his first wife, Phoebe in a lot, then a pasture belonging to Freeman A. Johnson. After leaving Cornish in 1800, he married his second wife, Caroline Lathrop, by whom he had six more children all born in Vermont. All eight children by Phoebe said to have been born in Cornish, NH.
