Joseph Gerrish 6/16/1802-11/22/1827 m. 1/10/1822 Mary,
dau of Simeon and Eunice (Gammon) Edwards, was thrown from a horse on
his way home from Portland and died in a few hours. His widow married
Daniel Witham 10/3/1830.
Daniel Witham son of Ichabod Witham and Hannah Scribner
4/26/1801-1/4/1855 m 10/3/1830 Mrs. Mary Edwards Gerrish dau of Simeon
and Eunice (Gammon) Edwards. One day Daniel got his neighbor, Borden
Jillson to help him butcher a hog. As it was a cold day they had some
liquor to help them keep warm. They had a few drinks and then stuck the
hog. While waiting for the hog to die they had a few more drinks and
went to the barn and thought they would lay down on the hay until the
hog was ready to dress. They went to sleep and slept all day. Meanwhile
the hog laid there just as it was stuck. About night, Daniels son Sam,
who was a little boy, came into the barn; his father roused up and
said, "Sam, you go and tell your mother to cook some of thet ere
yaslet."
David ...was insane and kept in a cage on the townfarm.
