According to Burgess Starr, he was a farmer in Bethel, Connecticut and "was drowned on his way to church in D." (probably Danbury) in Feb 1821.
According to the Genealogical & Family History of Southern New York, Matthew, son of Matthew and Jane (Dibble) Barnum, resided in Bethel, and married Rhoda Star. His property was valued in the grand list of 1793 at £37, 2s, 6p.
