He entered the American army soon after the breaking out of the Revolution, and before he was seventeen years of age, as a substitute for his employer, and remained in the service a year. Soon after his discharge, he reenlisted, and remained in service five years. He participated in the battle of Bennington, and was one of the guard which escorted Burgoyne, a prisoner of war, from that place to Cambridge. He removed to Hancock, N.H., about the year 1782, and the next year removed to Washington, and settled on a tract of land at the south-west part of the town, which he purchased of Charles Barrett of New Ipswich, and which was then an unbroken forest. He at once set about clearing the land, and erected a rough house in which to live. He was married, March 10, 1785 to Patty Reed of Marlborough, Mass. His wife died Apr. 22, 1800 [her gravestone says 1830] and he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Howard) Davis at Fitzwilliam, in Nov. 1830.
