Notes for ABRAHAM
JAQUITH IV:
Abraham was given instructions from his father-in-law, Ebenezer Farley, to make gifts of money to Benjamin and Samuel Farley, sons of Ebenezer's brother Samuel who had died in 1717. Evidence indicates that Ebenezer was the guardian of these boys and another boy, Nathaniel Ranger, after his bro- ther's death, and that Abraham assumed this responsibility when Ebenezer died in 1728. When Benjamin came of age , he took over the guardianship, and in 1738/39, when Samuel reached the age of twenty-one, he quitclaimed his interest in the Farley homestead to Abraham.
Myrl Jaquith, email 29 Mar 2004: As far as the Farley-Jaquith house is concerned, I haven't been there since 1986 but I remember it is at 161 Concord Road, a short way east of Rt. 3 which is a major north-south divided highwayin Billerica. As you drive east from Rt. 3, it is on your left. When I was there, Joseph Jaquith Casey lived in the house. In 1994, Reader's Digest published an article about a Union soldier from Massachusetts named Jerome Peirce who died at Spotsylvania Courthouse, VA and is buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. He married a Jaquith woman and they lived in that house. It mentioned that the current (1994) occupant was Peter Jaquith Casey, Joe's son.

JAQUITH:
Ebenezer was one of the Jaquiths at the Battle of Lexington at the beginning of the Revolution in 1775. His son Ebenenzer II served in the same unit, and his brother Timothy was reportedly there, but was not included in the same muster roll (see below). The town of Hollis was the first town to set up a monument on which can be read the names of all who responded to the alarm of April 19, 1775. Included in the list of names... Ebenezer Jaquith. The Battle of Lexington, which resulted as part of "the alarm of 19 April 1775", was a brief skirmish that marked the first military clash in the American Revolution (1775-1783). It took place on April 19, 1775, between some 70-77 colonial minutemen commanded by Captain John Parker, and about 700 British soldiers marching on Concord, Massachusetts, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith. The American militia, warned of the British approach by the patriot Paul Revere and others, had assembled to halt the British. Inspired by the words of Captain Parker, " Stand your ground; don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here", the Americans refused to disperse when ordered to do so by the commander of the British advance units. Gunfire was exchanged and eight Americans were killed before the minutemen retreated. Source: http://americaninsuranceagency.com/wilmington.html On the fated morning of April 19,1775, two companies of Minute Men started out on the road to Lexington very early in response to the "alarum," one of them commanded by Captain Cadwallader Ford, the other by Capt. Timothy Walker. Later another went out, commanded by Capt. John Harnden. They fought at Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill. The number of Wilmington men who fought in the Revolutionary War was 260, including 24 captains, several of whom rose to higher command. This indicates that nearly all the able-bodied men of Wilmington were engaged in the struggle for liberty. From the Muster Roll of Capt. Timothy Walker's Co. of Wilmington, Mass. which marched in reponse to the alarm of Lexington 4/19/1775 were the following members of the Jaquith family. Sgt. James Jaquith (Promoted to Capt.)

Notes for Benjamin
Jaquith:
Lehtinen, History of Jaffrey: "Benjamin, younger brother of Ebenezer . . . was the first of the Jaquith name to come to Jaffrey. He was in Fitchfurg, Mass., which was set off from Lunenburg in 1764, as early as 1766, when his oldest child Phebe was born. He was highway surveyor in Fitchburg in 1776, and came to Jaffrey soon after, and continued to live here for ten or twelve years. He owned 100 arces of land in Jaffrey, lot 18, range 6, north of the present village of East Jaffrey and south of the so-called Baldwin farm. He served on committees to lay out highways, 1779-81; was fence viewer and grand juryman in1782, and field driver in 1785. On Aug. 11, 1786, he sold his Jaffrey farm to Thomas Brattle, a prominent citizen of Boston . In February, 1787, with his wife 'Pheby,'... he returned to Fitchburg where he was promptly warned out of town, against the friendly interposition of Doctor Marshall, presumably a relative of 'Pheby'". Whatever the reason --possibly something that went back to his previous residency in Fitchburg, the selectmen of the town made it clear he and his family were not welcomed. History of Jaffrey continues, "After giving expression to their official desires, no further action appears to have been taken by the selecmen and Benjamin continued to abide in Fitchburg until his deatrh, Feb. 11, 1810." Children
of Benjamin Jaquith and Phebe Marshall are: Dry Hill, Redman Co. NY. He married Elizabeth Spalding; born ca. 1770 in
NY; died 10

More About Joseph
Jaquith:
Military service: Joseph marched on the Lexington Alarm, 19 Apr 1775.103,104 Susan Jaquith
Abbott (quoted in ):
"It was my grandfather, Joseph Jaquith, who joined the patriots on the arrival of the message from Lexington. He was ploughing in 'The Old Field' in the rear of our home when the word of danger reached him. He hastily un- hitched his oxen from the plough, ran for the house, took his gun from the wall over the door in 'Aunt Abigail's room,' saying, 'The redcoats are coming. He was not a member of an organized company previous to the alarm, but started off as many others did at the call of need. When he returned with other Billerica soldiers, there was but little military precision; their guns were slung over their shoulders in an easy-going manner."
