son of Daniel (b.1751) married Myra Ingersol
Julius Hitchcock, who was born in Connecticut, December 20, 1777. The last-named, when thirteen years old, began to learn the trades of shoemaker, tanner, and currier, at which he served an apprenticeship of three years, at the end of that time going to Canada, where he engaged in farming and in working at these trades. In March, 1812, he started in a sleigh to visit friends in New York, and while on his way happened to read in a newspaper that war would certainly be declared by the United States against Great Britain. Thereupon he returned to his home in Canada, sold off his personal effects as quickly as possible, and again started for New York, crossing the line between the United States and Canada the day before the declaration of war was promulgated, his removal to Madison County being made with teams. Upon arriving in Madison County, he purchased a tract of land in the town of Lebanon, a few acres of which were cleared, and whereon a log cabin was already erected. Upon this farm he lived during the rest of his life, following agriculture and his trades, dying in 1850.
