Notes

From "One Bassett Family in America":

"Ira Buell and Prudence Deming were married January 29, 1767 by Revd Stephen Johnson Minister at Lyme. Lyme was over 60 miles from Litchfield by road and we wonder how the match came to pass. Ira was 22 and four years younger than Prudence, a circumstance very unusual in this book. This was nine years before the Declaration of Independence but troublous times were beginning. The Stamp Act had been passed and repealed. This year, however, Parliament imposes a tax on tea, glass and paper; passes an act for quartering troops in Massachusetts and establishes a custom house in Boston. When the Revolution broke out, Ira Buell, like his two brothers, would probably have been a soldier, had he not sickened and died early in the struggle. Mrs. Mary Bassette Mumford says that Ira Buell owned and ran the public hotel at Milton, but we could find no reference to this in the public records at Litchfield. His dwelling, erected on the plot below, was an expensive one for those days, as were the furnishings also, and could well have served as an attractive hostelry."
