From the book - The Livermore Family of America, published 1902 by Walter Eliot Thwing, Pg. 46 :
"He lived for many years in Pelham, and was a town officer there in 1778. In the winter of 1775-76 he was a private in the company of militia under the command of Elijah Dwight of Belchertown, doing camp duty in Roxbury and vicinity. The records of Pelham say that he carried provisions to the army in Cambridge, in 1777. After the close of the Revolution he lost his property by the depreciation of the Continental currency, and in 1795 left Pelham and emigrated to New York state, taking with him his family, which consisted of his wife and nine children. He halted for a few months in Paris, N.Y., where he left his family while, in the spring of 1796, with an axe, he made his way, through the forest, by means of marked trees, to what was then the township of Brackel, but afterwards renamed German, where he took up the whole of Lot No. 92, containing 153 acres and 36 perches. He received a deed for this farm from the proprietors (Dutchmen), who were then living in Amsterdam, Holland, dated Jan. 13, 1816, the consideration being $383.00; Feb. 20, 1826, only a short time before he died, he sold this farm to his son Martin. He was one of the first settlers in the town, and his family joined him as soon as he built his house. That part of the town was afterwards known as Livermore's Corners, on the old State road, much travelled by emigrants to western New York. From their isolated position in the wilderness, remote from any settlement, the Cleveland and Livermore families suffered great privation and hardships during the first years of their settlement. He kept the first inn in German, and by industry and economy accumulated a respectable property and reared a large family".
