Gen.] GENEALOGY. 97
[334-1]. Asahel 6 Earle (Thomas? Roberts Ralphs
William? Ralph 1
), son of Thomas and Hannah (Wait)
Earle, b. Dec. 21, 1761, in Leicester, Mass. ; m. Persis
(b. 1769; d. Oct. 18, 1856), dau. of Phinehas and Lydia
Newhall, of Leicester; d. April 9, 1837.
He lived on what is now Marshall street, in the second house west
of the Worcester line. The house has since been taken down and a
smaller one erected upon its site. Asahel inherited his father's
mechanical ingenuity, and learned the art of gunsmithery ; but for
many of his last years, he worked only at repairing watches, at which
he was very expert.
