He is buried at the Ox-bow cemetery. 7 children. Hannah died age 85. Seved for a short time in the Revolutionary War. The account of the family is fragmentary at best and is made from such records as remain and the recollections of older people.

8 children: Polly, married Willoughby Corliss; Mindwell, never married; Sarah, b 1783, married Thomas Eames of Northumberland NH; Benjamin; Write; Amity (1788-1860), married William Page; Tural; Abigail, married Joseph Kimball Page of Ryegate.

[Newbury 695] Horace Stebbens, born 1774, married Hannah [Eaton], born 1774 in Newbury and died 21 July 1847.

[Newbury 588] John (Thomas-2, John-1) Johnson, born 2 April 1776, married 2) Abigail Eaton, who died 18 April 1849.

Conjecture: Widow Hannah Eaton could not be the mother of Polly as her own daughter Hannah was born the same year and Abigail more than likely born after Polly. This must have then been a second marriage for both.
