Roswell G. Pinney, deceased, formerly a resident on section 8, came to Lyndon township in 1868 and bought a farm of 288 acres located on sections 5 and 8. He also bought 20 acres of timber at Round Grove, and five acres in what was designated the "Big Woods." Mr. Pinney was born March 30, 1809, in Litchfield Co., Conn., and there passed his childhood and youth, and prepared to follow the business of a clothier. He was married Sept. 3, 1835, to Abbie Louisa Strong. She was born Sept. 28, 1812, in Hebron, Tolland Co., Conn. Mr. Pinney was engaged in the prosecution of the business of a clothier in Glastonbury two years after marriage, but, his health becoming impaired, he went to Erie Co.. Pa., to which place his parents had removed. He bought a farm, which he occupied several years, and removed thence to another in Crawford County, in the same State, of which he was the proprietor until 1868, the year in which he sold the place and removed to Lyndon Township, where he resided until his death, which transpired in June, 1882. To him and his wife seven children were born, of whom four are now living: George R. is a resident of Sterling; Emily J. is the wife of George Eiteman, and lives at Round Grove; Jennie L. is the youngest daughter.
Elizur E. is the owner of part of the homestead. He was born July 7, 1847, and was reared on his fathers farm, receiving a good education, which he made available as a teacher before he settled in life. He was married Nov. 4, 1874, to Carrie, daughter of Alexander and Almeda (Galt) Thompson. Francis B., Clara Belle, Nina E. and Earl T. are the names of their children.
