| Biographical Information |
He inherited from his father an extensive farm in the east part of Northborough, the value of which he lost through the depreciation of Continental money after its sale. In extreme old age he was supported by the town. Although poor, he was received with profound respect, and entertained with free hospitality, wherever he called during life. In 1764 he was selectman of Westborough; in 1777, after the division of the town, selectman of Northborough. |
