Beriah Brastow was born in 1751, and came to Medfield from Wrentham about 1806. His wife, Jerusha Kollock, was a granddaughter of Ephraim Wheelock (36). Her brother, who was a wealthy physician in the South, and who occasionally came north during the summer with his retinue of colored servants, built a house for his sister in Medfield, the same now used for the almshouse. The Brastow family resided there for some time, and from them came the name of "Brastow's Bridge." Colonel Brastow appears to have been a prominent citizen; he died in 1824."
