Joseph, James, William'), born in Suffield, Conn., May 14, 1756; died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 18, 1834; married in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 27, 1778, Lovisa Adams, daughter of Freegrace and Anna (Kent) Adams, born in Suffield Dec. 20, 1759; died in Marlboro, Vt., Dec. 31, 1834. Her father was the son of. Lieut. Abraham and Joanna (Norton) Adams. Her mother was the daughter of Samuel and Abiah (Dwight) Kent, all of Suffield. Ichabod King was born two months after the death of his father, Capt. Joseph King. The widow, in her bereavement and desolation, christened this child Ichabod, "the Glory has departed" (1 Samuel ch. iv ver. 21) in memory of her husband. Ichabod was a Revolutionary Soldier. Although then barely nineteen years of age he enlisted as a private in a company of the Second Connecticut Regiment, of which his brother, Eliphalet King, was Ensign, and when that regiment was mustered out in Dec., 1775, he again enlisted in a company of the Twenty-Second Regiment of Foot, Continental Army, of which his brother, Eliphalet King, had been commissioned Lieutenant. He fought side by side with his brother Eliphalet at Bunker Hill, in the disastrous expedition against Quebec, at the battle of Long Island, at White Plains and in many other minor engagements. The following is a copy of a paper which is still in the possession of his descendants: "West Springfield April 25, 1818. "This may certify that Ichabod King of Marlborough, State of Vermont, served seven months in the Revolution war in the year 1775 in a Regiment raised by the State of Connecticut. "Also one year and one month beginning the first of December one thousand seven hundred and seventy five until the first day of January one thousand seven hundred seventy seven in the Twenty Second Regiment of the Continental Army Commanded by Colonel Samuel Wyllys in the third Company in said Regiment Commanded by Capt. Ebenezer Huntington in which I serv'd as Lieut. ELIPHALET KING." At one time the British captured a bridge from the patriot forces with which Ichabod was serving. Ichabod was sick at the time and would have been taken prisoner but for assistance that came barely in time to help him across the bridge. His military record will be found in "Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution," compiled by authority of the Adjutant-General of Connecticut. Hartford, 1889. (pp. 45, 51, 92, 107 and 639.) A manuscript history of Marlboro (first spelled Marlborough), Vermont, written by Rev. Ephraim Newton, about 1865, now kept in the Vermont Historical Society Library, Montpelier, states that "Ichabod King came from his native place, Suffield, Conn., to Marlboro in 1776, a young man about twenty, and purchased his farm of Samuel Newton of Marlboro in the county of Cumberland on the New Hampshire Grants, late under the jurisdiction of New York, April 1st, 1877, on which he settled, lived and died and which descended to his son Joseph. He served his country about two years in the American Revolution, and in his last days was placed upon the roll of pensioners." There were 160 acres in the Marlboro farm, and it is intersected by a public road running north and south. In 1880, Ichabod's son Joseph sold the part lying west of the highway, but the part to the east is still in the possession of a descendant. It was on the east side of the road, back on a rise of land an eighth of a mile from the highway, near a spring, that the first house stood, the one in which all Ichabod and Lovisa's children were born. When the youngest child was but a baby in arms the family moved into the new house which had been built just on the west side of the road. This new house, now a trifle over a century old, is still standing. In design it is a typical New England country house of its time. A story and a half in height; two large front rooms separated by a square front entry and the huge chimney; back of the front rooms the long kitchen (this one with its western windows giving a wide view down a long slope and out beyond over miles of Marlboro hills), a pantry, a bed-room, and a stairway to the second story; all under the main roof. At one time the house sheltered the owner, a dignified man approaching his end; his wife, paralyzed toward the last; a daughter and a son in frail health for over forty years; a widowed daughter and two of her children; the son Joseph and his wife and children. It could not have been in the years of much sickness that Lovisa (Adams) King purchased her red broadcloth cloak, lined with pink silk, many pieces of which are now in the possession of her descendants. It may have been first owned when her husband represented the town of Marlboro in the Vermont legislature. Though the exceptionally long years of family illness must have told on the resources of a Vermont hill town farm, nevertheless the acres and the work, the men and the women, did their part, and Ichabod King's gravestone-in the graveyard a mile to the south of the farm-advises us for him that, "Had I a voice so loud and strong, To sound from east to west, I'd tell the honor seeking throng, To be with Christ is best." The family was one of far more than ordinary refinement, character, and mental ability. Nor was it ill to look upon physically. It was religious, yet at least the children were not at all narrowly so. Ichabod King was a dignified, thoughtful, and somewhat reserved man; a town selectman, and the representative of the town of Marlboro in the Vermont legislature of 1798 and again in 1800. His marriage to Lovisa Adams "was the first marriage solemnized by the late Rev. Gersham C. Lyman, D. D., and is the first public record of a marriage in town." (Marlboro Hist.) They lived together before death parted them within nine days of fifty-six years and only thirteen days intervened between the days of their death. All his married life was spent on his farm and all his children were born at Marlboro. ISSUE: 154* i. 155* ii. 156* iii. 157 iv. 158* v. 159* vi. 160* vii. 5 Ichabod King ICHABOD, b.
