{NOTE: I didn't transcribe their names here, because I know them; the eldest three were Hannah Ruaney, Orsemus Marvin, and Mary Augusta, and the youngest four are mentioned again below}
In the Spring of 1829, we think it was, they began housekeeping in this little log house about one mile due North of Windsor Mills, and here were born their first three children: Hannah, Orsemus, and Mary. In 1843, he built on the North East corner of the farm, near the frame barn before spoken of, a large wood residence. In this house were born their four youngest children: Lucy Emerette, Frederick Gleason, Emily Francina, and John Francis.
Sarah never enjoyed the best of health. After Chauncy's death in 1863, Sarah, remained on a portion of the old place in Windsor, with the remaining members of the family then with her, for a number of years, finally leaving it in the spring of 1873, and residing with her daughter Mrs. Gray [Mary], for one year or so in Harpersfield, O., then building apartments for herself adjoining the house of her daughter, Mrs. Brigham [Hannah], in Trumbull, Ashtabula Co., O., in 1874, where she lived the remainder of her life, and died Nov. 1st, 1882, being 71 years old.
The funeral services were held at Trumbull Center, Rev. Hammon preaching the sermon. The remains were taken to Windsor Corners, and buried in the cemetery there by those of her husband.
