Apparently he came to New Ipswich somewhat later than his brother Timothy, and was associated with that brother until his removal from town. Some years later he built the house afterward well known as the ''Estabrooks tavern," at the corner of the old Ashby road, (187, N. L. O.) He was deeply interested in military affairs, and he rendered excellent service in the Revolution, being in command of the New Ipswich company on Apr. 19, 1775, serving as lieutenant-colonel on two or more expeditions to Ticonderoga, and leading the two New Ipswich companies to Royalton, Vt., at the time of the raid from Canada in 1780. He received a colonel's commission in due time, and that title is
borne upon his gravestone.
