m. Hepzibah Brown of Concord [b. Feb 5, 1746; d. Jan 12,1814].

He settled west of the summit of the mountain, (151,A.D.) on the Rindge road of that time now abandoned, but later the Turnpike road was built passing just west of his home. He was an inn-keeper, as well as a farmer.

He was rendered much Revolutionary service, responding to the Concord alarm, fighting at Bunker HIll and afterward in the companies of Capts. Archelaus Town, Stephen Paker, Josiah Brown, and Robert Fletcher, and held the office of lietenant in the later times of service.

In his later years he was a major in the militia. He removed to Enosburg, Vt., a few years before his death.
