EPAPHRAS LORD, fourth son of Richard and Abigail (Warren) Lord, of Hartford, Connecticut, was born in Harford, December 26, 1709. His elder brothers were graduated in 1718 and 1724.

He was probably a lawyer, and resided at first in Wethersfield, and then for a short time in Hartford. He was married in Middletown, Connecticut, March 17, 1730/31, to Hope, daughter of Captain George Phillips. She was born March 17. 1710, and died Decemher 1, 1736, having borne him two sons and a daughter. Before her death he had removed to Colchester, Connecticut, where he was married, November 25, 1742, to Lucy, daughter of the Rev. John Bulkley (Harv. 1699), the first minister of the town. He reprsented Colchester in the General Assembly at six sessions between 1743 and 1754. In 1747 he headed the list of petitioners for the erection of a new parish in the northwestern part of the town, which was called Marlborough, and was set off as a distinct townsbip in 1803.

He died at his residence, in Marlborough Parish, November 25, 1799, in his 90th year. His wife died on the 10th of the following May, in her 81st year. By his second marriage he had six sons and nine daughters; five of these sons, and one by his first marriage, survived their father.
