Mass., in 1753. He married Mehitabel Haven. He came to Croydon in
1775, and died in 1840, at the age of eighty-seven years. He settled
in the wilderness and cleared up what was long known as the " Wheeler
farm" in the southerly part of the town, since occupied by H. Jacobs.
He was an extensive and thriving farmer, and a soldier in the
Revolutionary war. He was mainly instrumental in building the once
flourishing Church at Northville, in Newport, and was a consistent and
worthy deacon of the same for many years. He was decided in his
religious views, and gave much time and money for the support of the
gospel. His strict integrity, singleness of purpose, and devotion to a
religious life, gave weight to his word and example.

Jonathan Chase's regiment of militia which marched to Ticonderoga from Croydon, NH, were he was born - (Sutton vital records show Seth born in Sutton, possibly the register of birth was made in Sutton and he was indeed born in NH).
