Dec.23,1753, died Jul.30,1833 a.79, gs., Old Cem., Williamsburgh (a.79yrs. 10mo. Town Rec.), dau. of Josiah & Ruth (-) Hunt. He was elected hogreave 1775 & 6 (Middle Precinct). Was a Revolutionary Soldier 1776; removed to Williamsburgh in 1783 (Old Hampshire Deeds 23-621). Although all his children are recorded at Williamsburgh, the first five were undoubtedly born at Braintree before he removed. The Williamsburgh record has been damaged by having part of the page clipped off in rebinding the book and is now incomplete on that account. Oliver Thayer & wife Ruth admitted to Church there Mar.11,1787 and the first seven children were baptized Jul.1,1787. [S114] Braintree Births 1640-1793 (Reliability: 2). p. 865
