General Notes: Husband - Capt. William Thayer

---

His Revolutionary war service began in Taunton, Massachusetts, at the age of sixteen years in Captain Jacobs Hoskins' company, Colonel Isaac Dean's regiment.
After the Revolutionary war he purchased a thousand-acre estate in Springfield, Vermont, which remained in the family until 1908. "In the spring of 1788 he with his wife removed
to their new home; he driving a pair of oxen hitched to a two-wheeled cart, which held their household goods, the wife riding a small horse and carrying their valuables. For seven years they lived in a log house, while the new one was building, which was a fine large mansion, and which was standing in 1914, perfect in every respect. The nails were handmade; the trees were felled, the timbers and material for the entire structure prepared by men employed for the purpose, in the same primitive manner - the shingles were made from the hearts of old pine trees, and lasted for seventy years. He hired the best masons and carpenters at fifty cents per day (or less), and in summer they worked eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. (The night before they left the old house one log rolled out and one rolled in). He was for many years justice of the peace, selectman, captain of militia company, surveyor, and surveyed most of the land in the state of Vermont.
