Matthias Rust married in Coventry, Ct, where his first two children, Mary and Rebecca were born, from there he removed to ancient Windsor. 18 June 1754. The Town Records of ancient Windsor shows that Matthias' third child, Phineas, was born in that town. From thence he evidently removed to Norwich, Ct, where his next three children were born, after which he removed to Mansfield, Ct, where his last daughter, Mercy, was born; he then returned to his native town, Coventry where he appears to have remained, but a short time before he went to Vt and settled permanently at North Hartland, which his descendants think was about 1765. Their last two children were born in Hartland. He settled near the mouth of the Quechee river, near the Hartford line, where for several years he had charge of a grist mill, built and owned by Capt Oliver Willard. This was the first mill in town. From this Matthias and Lucy (Fitch) Rust has sprung a very large and prosperous family that has scattered over many of the states. Their headstones are of very dark, old style iron slate stone and bear the following inscription: In Memory of Matthias Rust, died May 31, 1805, aged 77 years; In Memory of Lucy Rust, died Jan 1, 1804, aged 73 years." (then lists 9 children).
