She was a naturally smart, intelligent woman, but a somewhat woeful misprint in her case was a defectiveness of one limb, which necessitated her always to use a crutch or cane.

She married Daniel Moore
Originally of Stafford, CT., came thence to this Town {Wales} in 1827 after that he resided mostly here till 1840; then returned to Stafford, subsequently he removed to Sturbridge; died there, buried in this Town. He was always borne down by the crushing, overwhelming weight and awfulness of poverty, which was the effect of a combination of causes: First, he lacked in sagaciousness, ambition, enterprise; second, he made himself too familiarly acccquainted with the whisky battle: these causes combining, setting aside others, are sure to burden a man with lifes everlasting (J)unury. He was also strongly addicted to the nasty, vulgar practice of profane swearing. After all, he was no malignant, wrathful, quarrelsome, noisy, but peaceable, unoffending, generally. The puzzle is - why this excessive, ruinous drinking?
