His oldest daughter is the widow of Justus Rice, of Eldred. She has four children living (pub. 1896). - One of her sons was drowned the past winter, and was brought to Myrtle, making the fifth generation of his mother's people buried there. - The second daughter is the wife of G.W.

She has eight children; - his son, Brice B., has five, and - the youngest daughter, Harriet, wife of Alvah HALL, of Allegany, has three. Few have left a larger circle of descendants, and if they prove as worthy as they now give fair promise of being, his name will long be honored through them. His wife is now in her eighty-second and shows the infirmities of age."
