Notes
Individual:
James Stewart, of whom mention has before been made as having been subjected to contributions made of him, found his situation so unpleasant that he with his family left his place in the Town Brook valley and moved to or near Catskill, where he remained until the close of the war, and where he done service for the colonies, after which he returned again to Stamford and commenced anew the labors of subjugating the forest for the sustenance of life. The author remembers the statement made by the early settlers that Mr. Stewart and his wife made four hundred pounds of maple sugar in one season by working both night and day in boiling the sap in a small dinner pot and a dish kettle, and did not undress or go to bed for three weeks. He raised a reputable family and lived to see them established in the honorable and useful pursuits of life, and on the twenty-fourth of February, 1823, he entered the sleep of death at the age of 75 years.
