Fought in the Revolution with his father & his son. All three were in
Allen's Regiment of Vermont.

In about 1780, owned most of the land in Factory Point, which the proprietors
gave him as a reward for erecting the first grist-mill. He also built a
fulling mill, a saw mill, a distillery, a store and houses which he rented
to employees.

He donated the land for the first Baptist Church to be built in Factory Point.

He set up Martin Mead in the first hotel in Factory Point at Manchester
Center because "he liked a soft bed and swig of rum as well as the next man"
(which of course would be his due as owner).

After Phebe died in 1780, Timothy wed Sarah Howes Burton. Apparently no
children from this marriage. All 13 children were from the first marriage.

Was gored by an ox, and died a year later due to the injuries. Listed as
a member of the Congregational Church of Pittsford, Rutland, Vt. as having
died while a member.
