      1833. (???). He graduated at Yale college 1764 and the catalogue says d. in 1790. He became a lawyer and settled at Amenia, Dutchess Co., N. Y., and there two of his sons certainly and probably all his children were born. He sent his oldest son to Yale. After his death his widow was cared for at Lansing on Cayuga Lake where all her children but Silas seem to have resided, with or near her, till her death. Silas who was interested in soldiers' claims, gave to his brother John and sister Elizabeth a farm in Lansing of 200 acres on condition that they care for their mother. Thomas had a son born there and Fanny m. a Mr. Goodwin of Ludlowville in that township of Lansing. We can seem to see that widow in serene old age looking out upon many a sunset reflected in Cayuga lake, but we are sad to think that none of her many descendants seem able to tell the date of birth or marriage or death or even the maiden name of the widow of one who was an A. M. of Yale in 1780, and owes to Yale catalogues the preservation of the date of his death in 1790
