atrocious act stirred him deeply and with many others he aided in driving the
enemy out of the neighborhood. He lived

grandson’s biography He removed to Canada, where he owned a large farm, which
during the trouble between England and the United States was confiscated by the
British government. He then returned to
Vermont, there spending the remainder of his life. Elkanah appears in the 1790 census living in
