"We next come to Asbell Lamont, who first settled on the farm where Charles Curtice now lives, and where he lived until his death many years since. He was a farmer and worked his own farm, but in addition to farming he took delight in hunting for deer and other game, which was plenty in those olden times. I recollect being with him one day hunting for deer, when he brought down one, by shooting it through the head, when it was going at a fast run.
Lamont had a number of children. I will give them as far as I can remember. Of the sons there were David, Smith, Niles, Isaac, Ira, Lyman and Hiram; two daughters, Phoebe married to Willam Winfield, and Charlotte married to Stephen Monk."
Asbell Lamont appears in an 1820 census as living in Canadice, Ontario, New York.
