The Vermont Historical Gazetteer, vol. 2:
Born in Hampstead, N. H., Oct. 5th, 1767; married Rachel Nettleton of Killingsworth, Ct., Jan. 6, 1794. Previous to his marriage he had located himself in Newport, N. H. In the year 1813 his wife died, and for a second wife, he married Betsey Carr, who was born in Goffstown, N. H., in 1784.
In the year 1816, about the time of his marriage to his second wife, he moved to this town, locating on a farm on the northerly side of what was originally known as the governor's right, and at one time owned by John Baldwin, the first inhabitant of the town. Deacon Heath was the occupant of this farm during the remainder of his days, after which it came into the hands of Calvin Coburn, Esq., son-in-law of Deacon Heath, and subsequently into the possession of Harvey S. Colton, son-in-law of Mr. Coburn. Deacon Heath's family consisted of 10 children, seven by the first, and three by the last wife. He died, Sept. 22, 1841, in his 74th year.
His oldest son, William, was educated a clergyman of the Baptist persuasion, and, at the time of his death, which occurred within the present year, he was a resident of Reading, Mass. His youngest son, George W., commenced business as a farmer, but that calling not being adapted to his taste, he soon abandoned it for mercantile pursuits,—first on his own limited capital,— then as salesman for the firm of Anderson, Sargent & Co. ; and subsequently became one of the firm, known as that of Anderson, Heath & Co., of Boston, and by strict and diligent attention to businesss has acquired the reputation of a wealthy man. He recently contributed a donation of $100 or $200, in books, to the Sabbath School Library of this, his native town.
