Mr.Thomas died two years ago at the age of seventy-five.

He was born in West Haven, about four miles from New Haven, and learned the joiners' trade in Wolcott, and worked in that region and in Plymouth five or six years, building houses and barns.

I waited on him when he built a barn in Plymouth, carrying boards and shingles.

He soon after went into the clock business in which he remained during life.

Mr.Terry died in 1853, at the advanced age of eighty-one..
