His house was on the west sided of West Street about 20 rods south of the family graveyard at the place where the road leaves West Street for Town Hill. He had a thriving business, but had weak health and a feeble constitution. From the books of Nathaniel Stanley it appears he was trading as early as August of 1759. [This is Tom Howard's wife’s line.
