In the American Revolution he took an early and decided part, representing the town in the Provincial Congress, in the first General Court, and in the Convention for forming the Constitution of this Commonwealth. In domestic life, the tender passions were as conspicuous in that circle as his manly virtues were on the public stage. In his death, the family have to lament an affectionate husband, and an indulgent parent; and the public to regret the loss of a useful member of society.’ His w. Lucy survived. 11.
