"John Jones died of ye small pox at Crown Point, July 4, 1776. Having had command of Company in ye service of ye United American States ever since ye 19th of April, 1775."

(From History of Princeton, Mass.)

Israel Loring, father of Calista, was descended from Deacon Thomas Loring, born at Axminster, Eng., who came to America in 1634 and joined the church colony at Hingham, Mass. One of his sons was cured of a malignant sore by "a doctress" -- who beat your Aunt Doc as a pioneer in the medical profession by about 300 years. A grandson was graduated from Harvard in 1701 and took his Masters degree there in 1704.

Ari and Calista Boynton had two daughters besides your grandmother -- Louisa who married William French and Mary who married Martin Davis. Mary and her two daughters came to Waverly to take care of your grandfather Angell's children after their mother died. The children found her a thorn in the flesh and were happy and relieved when she left after about a year. Your Aunt Mami then became the "mother" of the family.
