    Notes 
    • When eighteen years of age he built his log cabin on the east side of the road now called High street, where he cleared five acres of land, being part of the homestead where he and his posterity have since resided. Chestnut rails, split by him one hundred and ten years ago, are now [1878] in a good state of preservation on the farm. Although his principle occupation was the care and improvement of his land, he had a fondness for mechanical labor, and framed many of the buildings in town, including the churches. The first bridge across the Merrimack, at the Plain, was built by him. He had a love of military parade, as his title indicates. During his life he was chosen to fill the offices of moderator, selectman and representative to the general court. A man strictly religious, he joined Dr. Wood's church in 1781, and was elected deacon in 1783, an office which he held until his death.

      Military: As a Lieutenant, he was called in 1776 for the defence of Ticonderoga.
