It was in that Avinter, I think, that he resigned his deaconship. After
coiniiiuniou, Avhon this fact was announced, Mr. Preston moved that the
church give liiin a vote of tlianks for his 40 jears of dutj\ during whicli
time lieliad not been absent a single service; Avliicli motion, in a few
apijrcciative remarlcs. my graiidfatlier deprecated as unusual and improper,
Avhercupon it Avas Avithdrawn. In 1776 he A\as drafted into the army and
served about eight months as a priA'ate and sergeant, acting as clerk of
his company, lie Avas at the battle of 8tilh\'ater and at the taking Of
Burooyne. I delight in recalling his narrative of incidents of the cam]>aign
as th'aAvn from him by the questions of neighbors and friends, some of
Avhoui sat around his Avalnut fire nearly every Avinter evening. I Avell
remember a boyish question of mine: 'Grandfather, did you ever shoot
a red-coat V" and the A'ery solemn answer, Avhich 1 did not then understand :
• I hope not.' Also, I recall hoAv Avith moistened eye he told of taking
deliberate aim and tiring at that famous scout, Harvey Birch; the hero
of Cooper's 'Spy/ hut happily Avithout effect. Hoav he numaged to get
an education. I neA'ei" kncAV, but he Avas Avell versed in mathematical
science. — I knew of his calculating eclipses. — and became Mr. Pemberton's
assistant at his academy as instructor in the English branches. One of his
jjupils, Hon. Thomas (i. Carj% spoke of him at the Bi-('entennial, in 1855,
as 'that brave old soldier of the Revolution and servant of God, Deacon
â– \Vhiting, Avho hnd practised the hand-Avriting Avhich he taught us. in
makiuii" out rolls and i-eturns Avith benumbed fingers on the drum-head.'
Like ifis ancestor, Jonathan Danforth. he became a surveyor, and niauj^
of his plans of Billerica farms are noAV preserved among the records
at East Cambridge. 1 have in my possession a barometer, marked as
" made by W. & W. Jones, ]^o. 35, Ho'lbron, London,' Avhich hung beside the
tall clock in the family room for 1 don't know hoAV many years ))efore my
time. 1 doul)t if there are many older in the country still in "going order.'
There was also an improvised sun-dial upon the AvindoAV-sill arranged
scientifically so as to indicate 12 o'clock u. at any season of the j-ear.
Fo;- him I had and have the greatest veneration as a thoroughly good
man, living a simple and blameless life, and doing kindness Avliere\^er
it was in his poAver. Xot less do I revere the sainted name of his eldest
daughter, my aunt Harriet, then a maiden lady of fifty-one, and the good
aiigel, it seemed to me. of the Avhole town. Were any seriously ill. she Avas
always readv and first called to 'Avatch' Avith them and furnish those
.ittle comforts and delicacies which sick people are supposed to require ;
and if any died, it Avas she Avho Avas expected to prepare tenderly the
remains for the last solemn rites.
The actual money paid for living by a family of such few Avants and
simple tastes as my grandfather's could have been little compared Avith
Avhat are noAV con'sidered necessary expenses. Flour, coffee, tea, taxes,
church-rates, and clothing, I believe, Avere the chief items which Avere paid
for in money. 1 do not recall any visits to dress-makers or tailors,
and nmch of" the bedding was of home manufacture, made, perhaps,
in the house a half century before. The table was largely supplied from
the farm. A hog Avas killed in the fall and prepared for present and future
use; a calf m the spring, and foAvl and turkeys, as occasion required,
AAhich, with nnik and eggs, furnished the animal food, Avhile the common
veoetables, AA'ith Indian and rye meal, cranberries, barberries, shagbarks,
apples, and a fCAV other fruits, supplied a sulficient variety to make the
changes of one's daily food conducive to good health. In my time at
Billerica there Avas no settled clergyman, the pulpit being supplied every
â–ºSunday by candidates, Avho ahA'ays, as I recollect, dined at my grand-
fatlier's, invariably on baked beans, baked potatoes, brown bread, suet
pudding, and apples, Avhich I Avas led to believe, by the praises jiut upon it
by the polite clergymen, Avas a repast worthy of a king. But I have
rambled enough. Of my grandfather's personal appearance I cannot

with white hair worn in a cue tied up in a l^laek sillc rlbl)on, not an eel-
