Capt. David Ellsworth

The title of captain "was not an empty one, for he served in the War of the Spanish Succession, known in America as the Old French War, and in 1745 commanded a company from Windsor at the famous siege of Louisburg. Returning in safety from that expedition, which was by no means a holiday affair, he lived to the eve of the recognition of the colonies' independence, and nearly all his life he was selectman of his native town. Inheriting a hundred pounds, he had the industry and the shrewdness to accumulate a considerable estate, and to win the reputation of an excellent farmer. A grandson has recorded that he had much 'cunning, or quick-turned wit,' and 'sound judgment.' " -- Brown, p. 11
