He married Tabitha WARREN, of his native town, lived in Conway about three years after his marriage, and then emigrated to Waterbury, in February, 1807, and settled on a farm on Loomis hill in the eastern part of the town. The farm of 106 acres contained a log house so poorly constructed that the foxes ran through openings between the logs. There was only fifteen or twenty acres of cleared land. He was young and industrious, and at once set to work with a good will and soon erected a comfortable frame house and other buildings, cleared up his farm, and placed himself and family in comfortable circumstances. As his finances increased he added to his farm from time to time until it contained 300 acres. He was not an office seeker, but by the votes of his townsmen, he reluctantly held the positions of selectman and lister several years. He was a reliable, honest, and trusted citizen, and a kind and obliging neighbor. He died on the farm where he settled, January 3, 1863, at the advanced age of eighty years. Mrs. STEARNS survived until April 11, 1863. They were parents of nine children, viz.: Diantha, born November 30, 1804, who died July 31, 1843; John, Jr., born August 15, 1806, who married Abigail TOBEY, of Conway, Mass., was a farmer, and resided in Waterbury until his death, February 26, 1855; Cynthia, born September 17, 1808, unmarried, resides with her brother O. W., in Waterbury; Palmer, born July 25, 1810, went to Illinois in 1883, married Polly REYNOLDS, and settled permanently in Rock Island, Ill., where he now resides; Elizabeth, born May 13, 1812, who married Leonard L. MORSE, of Waterbury, and removed with her husband to Illinois in 1833, where she died in December, 1842; George W., born April 26, 1815, married Mary MARSHALL, in 1841, and settled in Waterbury, where he was a farmer; Samuel F., born August 12, 1817; Keziah, born June 29, 1820, who married Caleb SIMMONS, in June, 1842, and settled in Waterbury, where she died March 17, 1851; and Orren WARREN, born August 23, 1828.
