MATILDA'S PARENTS: Samuel and Judith, both of whom were born and died in Danville, shared the same birthdate (January 15), although he was born in 1775 and she was born in 1779. She died 3 April 1849. He died 20 November 1851 (Greeley, GENEALOGY OF THE GREELY - GREELEY FAMILY [op. cit.], 596).

 Two of Elisha's sons, John and Benning, are memorialized in the BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW: Leading Citizens of Rockingham County [op. cit.], 92, 116). In that volume, Elisha is spoken of as being "a well-known farmer" (p. 116). Unfortunately, he did not live to see these tributes to himself and his family.

 Greenleaf was a farmer, tanner and shoemaker, and a Whig in politics (with strong political convictions).

Naphthali was a farmer in Londonderry, New Hampshire, moving there sometime before 1850. Researching this family was a bit confusing because, in the 1850 Census of Londonderry [op.cit.], Naphthali and Nancy listed all of their children, making it appear that they were all together, even though some of the children had already married and moved away.

Joseph was a farmer and a joiner (a carpenter who did interior finish work, and made less expensive items than would a cabinet maker). In his later years, he suffered a splinter in an eye and eventually lost his sight in that eye. At the time of the 1900 Census, he had been widowed twice, was classified as a pauper, and was living with his niece, Frances Ann, and her husband, Sylvanus Bennett. He died from pneumonia. His second wife, Adelaide, died from typhoid fever.
