He was a farmer, a man of excellent character and standing in the community. Though he did not make profession of religion until late in life, he was of undoubted piety and especially strict in his regard for the Sabbath. It is said that he forbade even "the cracking of nuts" on the Lord's day and a grove of butternut trees near his house gives a touch of probability to the tradition. With him regular attendance on divine worship was one of the chief concerns of life, and he would face the fiercest snowstorms of the winter, which blocked in even good Parson Belden, who, on one occasion, discovered Mr Churchill in front of the parsonage on horseback, floundering in the snow drifts and shouted the question, "Where are you going, Mr Churchill?" "To meeting," replied to sturdy parishioner. "Well, come in here, then," answered the parson, "as I am not going out in this storm." His grandson, Leonard Churchill Hubbard, in 1903, described him thus, as he appeared about 1820: "He was of medium height, a rather stocky looking man, round face, kind spoken, and jovial for one of his years." He died June 16, 1842. He married first to Lucretia Marsh, daughter of Job Marsh, of New Hartford, on October 28, 1789. She died November 2, 1811 at age 48 years. He then married a second time to Chloe Deming a maiden lady of 50 years. Children of Solomon and Lucretia (Marsh) Churchill: 1. Julia, born May 31, 1792 2. Nancy, born March 17, 1795 3. Chester, born Mary 6, 1798 4. Cynthia, born Oct 30, 1801 5. Jemina, born Nov 19, 1805 [Original data: Churchill, Gardner Asaph,. The Churchill family in America.
