Amasa J.
Parker, of Albany, who was then a little boy four or five years old.

I often saw him at meeting with his mother.

He is a first cousin of F.S.

& J.Parker of this city, two highly respectable men engaged in the paper business.
In the fall of 1811, I made a bargain with the man that I was bound to, that if he would give me four months in the winter of each year when the business was dull, I would clothe myself.

I therefore went to Waterbury, and hired myself to Lewis Stebbins, (a singing master of that place,) to work at making the dials for the old fashioned long clock.
