age when his father died. He inherited the mansion house
taken down in 1827, and two-sixths of his father's estate.
The right of his sisters it appears that he bought, for at his
death in 1726, he owned all the lands that were his father's.
He married twice ; first, Elizabeth, daughter of Lieutenant
John Howland, Dec. 1673, who was the mother of his ten
children. His second wife was also named Elizabeth ; but
her maiden name does not appear on recoi'd.
He was a farmer, industrious and enterprising, and died

to his son Joseph.
