Notes
Baptism
Probably a typo in the date... see p. 176 of same article.Birth
Death record shows birthplace as "Absbury" which seems to be a corruption of "Abbotsbury", and about 74 years of age.Miscellaneous
Ober said that he could not attend a fishing trip because Samuel Walton held back his chest and "wearing clothes", so did not receive payment. Walton answered with a claim, a week later, against Ober for not joining the fishing trip.Election
Quoted from https://www.cowhampshireblog.com/2007/04/05/new-hampshire-glossary-tithing-man/by Janice Bowman, 5 April 2007
It was the tithing man's duty to detain and arrest Sabbath travelers, unless they were going to or from church, or to visit the sick and do charitable deeds. His job was also to keep the boys from playing in the meeting-house, and to wake up any who might fall asleep during meeting.
...
Tithing men also collectd the taxes mandated for the support of the church ... They were expected to report on idle or disorderly persons, profane swearers or cursers and Sabbath breakers.
