the sea, and was master of a vessel. While serving
in the revolutionary war he was wounded, and captured
by the British, who sent him a prisoner to
Halifax, Nova Scotia, but with others he made his
escape by digging a hole in the wall with an old
bayonet found in their cell, and finally reached home.
The hardship and exposure suffered while a prisoner
and during the long journey through the wilderness
were the direct cause of a rheumatic affection, from
which he never recovered, and in his latter years he
was a helpless invalid. He was married January
5. 1805. to Abigail Allen, of Wcnham, Massachusetts,
who was born October 20, 1776. and died January
