Notes - Charles,6 (John,5 Charles,4 John,3 Robert,2 Walter,1) b. in Colrain, July 15, 1763.

Barnabas Sear's Regt. in 1781, m. Mary dau. of John Hulbert, the Indian fighter of Colrain. A separation followed and a second marHannah Gates, b. in Leyden about 1777. He is said to have been a carpenter by trade and erected the house in which he lived at Leyden about 1793. The house is still standing. He lived in the immediate neighborhood of the originator of a religious sect known as Dorrillites and seemed to have been a follower. In the summer of 1795 ne went to Truxton - then Fabins - Onondaga Co., N. Y., his family joining him the following winter, the journey being made with an ox team and occuping six weeks. He became a prosperous man in his new home, prominent and active in building up the new town, giving the new community transportation, through a line of teams to Albany, and having built for himself a spacious house, then popularly known as the " big red house," he entertained emigrants free of charge. He erected a sawmill and gristmill, and gave the land for the cemetery, and was at one time the second wealthiest man in Onondaga County (the county has since been divided) but reverses came ; a big lawsuit was waged year after year for water privileges until both parties spent most of their property.
Between 18 19 and 1827, he visited his relatives at Middlebury, Vt., taking the journey on horseback, sitting erect and stately in the saddle, his long white hair done up in a queue making ariage, then a final separation.
