Confirm date/location of his death; I don't believe he would have gone back to Warwick, MA.

Census: 1820: Townshend, Windham Co., VT

1830: Is he the "Samuel" in Winchester, NH?

From O.P. Allen's "The Doolittle Family," p. 19: He had partially cleared the farm, given him by his father, and erected a substantial frame house to which he took his bride from Brattleboro, the same day of marriage, to the music of the old time sleigh bells. The last house they passed befor reaching their future home, was built of logs, and occupied by a colored family, and every pane of the only window was darkened by an ebony face as the couple passed by, much to the bride's amusement. By industry and frugality he accumulated quite a handsome property for those days. Their children were born and reared on the old farm; they removed to the village of Jamaica, Vt., in 1849. There she d. May 25, 1858; he then removed to Wardsboro, Vt., where he resided with his son Oscar until his death which occurred Apr. 14, 1863. They were both members of the Congregational church in Townsend.
