In married life, he first had his home upon the"Cyrus Munger Place". After that he was some years domiciled on the "Hall Place". He built the dwelling house now standing upon this Hall farm in 1796, which was during his occupandy of the same; afterwards still, he was domiciliated for a few years upon what we designate as the "Hodges Place" and here again he built the dwelling house now standing upon this farm. In 1811 he made his last removal, that was, from this Town to Stafford, CT, there he remained and died. His remains lie in this Town (Wales, MA) interred in the old Burying Ground in this Town. He was among the first class of active, enterprising, respectable, and substantial men of the Town. The venum and the slime of the slanderer's tongue never disturbed or molested him; this means that he was one who seems never to have been evilly spoken of.
