This Silas was mentioned in the will, but his ultimate career is not known.^{175 {69, 71}}

iii: Martha HOW [QQ119468], born 14 May 1742, (February per Rice Gen'l Register) at Rutland, MA^{98,2 {106, 186}}.

She married Ephraim DAVIS Jr 7 Oct 1762 at Rutland^{98,2 {106, 186}}. He was born 11 Mar 1740/41 at Bedford, MA¹⁴⁸, son of Deacon Ephraim DAVIS and Rebecca DANFORTH.
iv: Elizabeth HOW [QQ119470], born 19 Jun 1744, (10th per Rice Gen'l Register) at Rutland, MA^{98,2 {106, 186}}. She died 9 Oct 1829 (under the name Stone), according to unofficial records^{98,2 {p186}}.

She married Jeduthan STONE 11 Jan 1773, (June per Rice Gen'l Register) at Rutland, listed as Elizabeth of Paxton^{98,2 {106, 186}}. He was born 13 Feb 1748/49 at Rutland^{98,71 {p304}}, died 8 Mar 1829 at Rutland, according to unofficial records and to Bartlett. The Rice Genealogical Register reports the year as 1825^{98,71 {p304},2 {p187}}, son of Nathan STONE and Mary ROBBINS. He was in the military serving in the Revolutionary War, first as a private in Capt. Thomas Eustis' company of Rutland minutemen, then in Capt. Adam Wheeler's company, and finally in Capt. David Bent's company. He marched to Cambridge on the Lexington alarm in 1775 and to Bennington, VT, in 1777^{71 {p304},159 {15:99}}. He made a will 23 Jan 1819 at Rutland, mentioning wife Elizabeth, sons Willard and Augustus, daughters Patty Stone, Elizabeth Bassett, Lucy Foster, and Sally Estabrook, and son Calvin to be executor^{71 {p304}}. Administration on his estate was granted 7 Jul 1829, to Jeduthan's son Willard, since the nominated executor Calvin was dead^{71 {p305},20 {docket 56659}}.
v: Deacon Jonah HOW [QQ119472], born 2 Jul 1746 at Rutland^{98,2 {106, 187}}. He died 11 Nov 1832, (10th per gravestone), aged 86y at Paxton, MA (under the name Howe)^{178,250,2 {p187}}. He was buried at Paxton, in Paxton Cemetery²⁵⁰.

He married Sarah NEWTON. She was born 25 Nov 1751 at Rutland, MA^{98,2 {p187}}, died 21 Aug 1839, aged 88y (under the name Howe)^{250,2 {p187}}, was buried at Paxton, MA, in Paxton Cemetery²⁵⁰, daughter of Lt. Jonas NEWTON and Rebecca.
vi: Delia HOW [QQ119474], born 24 Sep 1748 at Rutland, MA, registered as Dille^{98,2 {107, 187}}. She died 10 Feb 1783, aged 34y at Paxton, MA (under the name Newton)^{178,250,2 {p187}}. She was buried at Paxton, in Paxton Cemetery²⁵⁰. She was also known as Deliverance, registered as Deliverance on the birth records of her first five children. It is not entirely clear that Deliverance and Delia were the same person. Although the death record of Silas's next wife Matilda explicitly calls her his second wife, there is a four-year gap between the last child registered to "Deliverance" and the first to "Delia". Still, there is no record at Paxton of the death of a Deliverance Newton in that gap. One possible explanation would be that there were actually two Silases (and, indeed, Hezekiah Newton of Southborough, Leicester, Rutland, and Paxton had a son Silas of very nearly the same age), but there is no death record at Paxton for an extra Silas.

She married Silas NEWTON, Silas of Paxton^{2 {107, 187}}. He was born 10 Dec 1744 at Southborough, MA⁵⁵, died 25 Jan 1816 at Paxton, MA¹⁷⁸, son of Hezekiah NEWTON and Eunice BRIGHAM. Although this Silas Newton was born in Southborough, his family moved soon after his birth to Leicester and then to the part of Rutland that was set off as part of the new town of Paxton in 1765. He remained there and was thus evidently the Silas of Paxton who married Delia How.^{175 {p552}} He made a will at Paxton, mentioning sons Silas, Horace, and Winsor, grandson Larkin Buckley Newton, granddaughters Emily Grosvenor Newton and Deborah Hall Newton (daughters of deceased son Larkin), heirs of deceased eldest daughter Persis Davis, and daughters Lucretia Bullard, Phebe Earle, Delia Harrington, and Patty Grosvenor^{175 {p552}}. His will was proved 5 Mar 1816 in Worcester County, MA^{175 {p552},20 {docket 43416}}.

Lois CUTLER

i: Thomas GOODENOW [QQ275776], baptized 1 Oct 1732 at Rutland, MA (under the name Goodeno)⁹⁸. The identification of this Thomas as the son of Nathan and Lois (Cutler) Goodenow rests partly on circumstantial evidence: three of his first five children were named Nathan or Lois. The 1732 baptism record in Rutland does appear to refer to this Thomas, but the location is somewhat surprising and needs explanation.

He married Abigail. She was thinly documented.

He married Eunice GOODENOW 15 Jan 1767 at Sudbury, MA^{11,2 {75, 147}}. She was born about 1745, as calculated from her death record.

Phineas settled at No. 4 (Charlestown) NH; Capt, &c, and distinguished himself by his defence of that infant settlement, and otherwise rendered in important services about 1733¹⁰⁶.
