    Sixth born child to Noah & Katherine Webster, the 2nd to be named Asahel, he is the 4th living son. Born in 1739 in Lebanon, he married Mary Lawrence about 1760. Church record of Vernon(formerly N. Bolton), CT shows him and his wife admitted to the Church there in 1762. About this time, Asahel's father left Lebanon & went to Tolland county. Presumably Asahel & the other children did likewise.

    He served in the French & Indian War, as follows:1) in Edmund Wells' Company of CT troops as a private for 3wks in 1757 receiving as wages 12shillings. 2) in Capt.Henry Champion's Company 3rd Regt of CT troops in 1758 for 32 wks earning just over 14pounds. The Company was called "A Company of Foot in his Majesty's Service, Raised for the Reduction of Canada". 3) in Capt.Azel Fitch's Company, 2nd Regt.CT troops, as a Corporal, from April 10 to Nov 21, 1760. 32wks and 2days receiving for his wages 17pounds 9shillings & 6pence.

    From the Bolton, CT Town Records various land transactions involving Asahel Webster, buying & selling land. Much of his land in Bolton, CT. is now part of Vernon, CT. Bolton records show that Asahel took the Oath of Fidelity at Bolton in Aug 22, 1777 and again in Sept 16, 1777..about the time of the Revolution....but the Genealogy does not tell of his service. Records show that there were 2 Asahel Webster's that served with CT units.

    Probate Records of Columbia,Tolland Co.,CT show the will of Asahel Webster, late of Vernon, dated 11 Mar 1805 and exhibited in Court 1 May 1810. He appointed his wife Executrix, and gave her all of his estate and after her death, to Asahel W. Lawrence (prob her brother) & in case of his death before her, then to the heirs of Asahel Lawrence. Inventory is dated 19 Apr 1810. The Vernon Church shows he died at Vernon, CT in 1810 age 71. A Hartford newspaper, dated 16 Apr 1810, notes her death at Vernon at age 71yrs. They had no Children. The End.
