After the war he came to Springfield, Vt., in 1763, with a bed of sea fowl feathers and a few cooking utensils strapped to his horse. He crossed the Connecticut River at the Ferry and passed on up Crown Point Road, settling near the North Line of the Town on land afterwards owned by Joshua Durrant and Luther G. Boynton. Shortly after his arrival, he married Mary Hall. She was a resolute and courageous woman as shown by her conduct during the Indian Wars.
