He married Hephzabah Mather November 27, 1799, and soon thereafter settled on what was then a wild west fami, at what is now known as Cold Springs, in the City of Buffalo, N. Y., where three children were born: Elisha E., born September 2nd, 1800, and who died December 9, 1802; Richard M., born May 30,1803, and who died at Mansfield, Ohio, December 5, 1861, leaving two sons and one daughter, all of whom died without children.
