He subsequently occupied and tilled two different farms in Antrim, and moved to Nashua in 18.1O, dying in that town May 30, 1850. He held a captain's commission in the cavalry militia in 1819, and was familiany called by the title. In 1808 he was married to Sally S. McO.uley, who died in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1854.

Sally S. McCauley in 1808 ; was familiarly called " Captain," holding that commission in the cavalry in 1819 ; lived for some time* with his father, afterward moved into a house then standing northeast of J. G. Flint's, (built by Francis Stuart just within the town line, because he wanted the honor of living in Antrim, — wise man !) moved thence to Whitney place, and from there to Nashua in 1836, where he d. May 30, 1850. His widow d. in Holyoke, Mass., in 1854. Their children were: — Esther M., (b. June 24,1809 ; m. Joseph Atwood of Bedford, Feb. 11, 1834, and lives in Hamilton, 111. One old resident says : " She was as smart a woman as was ever raised in Antrim." She was a fine scholar and teacher.) -Sarah, (b. Dec. 14, 1811; d. at the age of 3 months.) -David, (b. in 1813 ; d. at the age of 5 months.) -Mary D., (b. April 25,1815 ; d. in Nashua, Oct. 26, 1836.) -Sutheric J., (b. July 28, 1816; m. Elizabeth Porter of Manchester, and now resides in San Francisco.) -David M., (b. May 22, 1818 ; m. Mary Jane Carter of Hollis, and now lives in Boston. Was one of the donors of the Center vestry; is a man of large means, and a generous giver to all the charities. Is a man full of faith and full of good works. Mr. Weston is the inventor of the machine for drying sugar in process of manufacture, now used all over the world. This invention is simply the application of centrifugal motion to useful purposes. The same principle appears in his " laundry-machine." " centrifugal clothes- wringer," and in his " cream-machine." The latter effects the mechanical separation of cream from the milk in less time than is occupied in milking, and promises to revolutionize the dairy business in all large establishments. Mr. Weston holds several patents, both in the UnitedStates and Great Britain, of inventions highly useful to the world and profitable to himself. He is a thinking, practical man, — one of the ablest and best that have gone out from Antrim; a Christian, enjoying the confidence of men and living in the fear of God.) -Rebecca J., (b. April 8,1820 ; m. Lawson E. Russell of Bethel,Me.; d. in that place, Sept. 10, 1855.) -Harriet N., (b. April 2,1822 ; m. Sidney Alden of Troy, N. Y., in 1838, and now lives in that city.) -Eliza A., (b. May 15, 1824; m. Hon. Charles Williams of Easton, Mass., in 1846. They now reside in Nashua. She is a woman widely known, gifted, devoted, charitable, and a leader in the missionary work of the N. H. Woman's Board. Mr. Williams has been several times mayor of the city, — is a man affable, efficient, and with hosts of friends. Their son, Dr. Seth W. Williams, just dead at the age of30, was a graduate of Yale, a young man of most finished education and most noble character, and had begun life's work with much promise in New York City. He was under appointment to a position of heavy responsibility in Bellevue Hospital, but was taken down suddenly with congestion of the brain and d. on his way home from an excursion, at Portland, Me.) -Leonard, (b. April 28,1826. Graduated at Phillips Academy, class of 1846. Was a talented young man, from whom the family had many hopes. He entered Dartmouth College with the intention of studying for the ministry, but d. in his Freshman year, Sept. 1, 1848. Thus dying at the age of 22, the work which his piety prompted* was not done, but its reward was reached early and triumphantly.) -Sarah J., (b. July 7, 1833; m. Benjamin P. Crocker of Cambridge, N. Y., and lives in that place.)]
