Lived in Brookfield, and marched from there in Capt. John Wolcott's
Company in the " Lexington Alarm." Served 8 months in Capt. John
Cowles' Co. of Woodbridge's Regt., being stationed at Cambridge. This
regiment served at Bunker Hill. He is supposed to have re-enlisted at
the expiration of his term, about Jan. 1, 1776, as he was in service in August
of that year, at Ticonderoga and Fort Edward, as a Corporal in Hamilton's
Co. of Brewer's Regt. In Feb., 1777, he was at Brookfield as a member of
the 1st Co. of " Matross" (Artillery), at which time he enlisted for three years
in Capt. Noah Nichol's Co. of Gen. Knox's Artillery, in which he was commissioned
2d Lieut. June 11, 1778, having before that date served 16% months
in the army. In Jan. and in Feb., 1779, he was in command at Brookfield
of a company of volunteers guarding military stores. Soon after this he
resigned from the service. He removed to Hartland; in 1792 to Lyman, N. H.
and came to this town about 1780. He was a Carpenter and was employed on
the "Old Court House" in 1801, as appears by Col. Johnson's account. He is
said to have used the "square rule" in framing the timber, the first time it was
used here. He died at the house of Joseph Prescott; buried in Rogers Hill
Cemetery. His descendants were usually connected with the M. E. Church.
