| Misc. Notes |
Seth was the first person laid in the Long Plain grave yard in Darmouth.
He learned the weaver's trade, and lived on his father's place, which he inherited, until by standing surety for his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Sheperd, he lost his homestead. He then by deed dated June 25, 1743 purchased a farm at the Long Plain (in Acushent) from Joseph Taber, Jr. with one acre only of clearled land. Here he lived in a log house, until late in life, when he was taken into the family of his grandson, Hon. Alden Spooner, who built on the same site. He was, during his latter years, insane and sometimes violently so. According to tradition, he was of an enterprising and adventurous disposition, very fond of tradiing and often losing propery by this propensity.
He was a man of usefulness and highly esteemed by his townsmen. He served many years in various Town Offices.492, p54 |
