General Notes: Husband - Euphrastus Carrier


He removed with his parents, from place to place, and about 1811 was living in Oswego, New York. In 1813 or 1814 his parents were living in Freeport, Pennsylvania, and throughout these wanderings he and his twin brother Nathan seem to have been inseparable, and of active and material assistance in the support of the family. They remained in Freeport from 1814 to 1820. In 1818 they, with their father, had the contract for the woodwork of the county bridge across Buffalo creek, near Freeport, and owned a saw and grist mill in that locality.
His father died in 1821 while the family were living on the old "Hulet Smith" place, and the duty of caring for the mother and younger children devolved upon Euphrastus and Nathan. Euphrastus went to Connecticut in 1827, where he married and lived for two years, and then returned to Clover township, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, where he eventually became a prosperous farmer and lived until his death.

He was born in Connecticut and settled in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, in 1828, on the farm thereafter known as the old homestead and continuously occupied by members of the Carrier family into the middle of the twentieth century. Soon after his arrival in Jefferson County, he made the trip to Connecticut and brought back with him his wife of a few months, Harriet R. Buell, of Colchester, Connecticut. Having purchased fifty acres in Clover (then Rose) Township, he subsequently purchased seventy more acres and developed it until he had a valuable farm and comfortable home. In his youth, he learned the millwright's trade, adopted by many other members of this family, and acquired a high degree of proficiency in his craft, which led to many demands upon his services. In addition he lumbered on the Clarion River and on Red Bank Creek and successfully operated the homestead farm. [HNWP, 578]
