William WALWORTH

Abt 1726 - Abt 1810  (84 years)

• Name	William WALWORTH  [1, 2]
  	William's father wanted his son to become a farmer, but he did not like farming, and chose rather to be a silversmith. His father yielded at last to his desire and sent him to learn the trade. He did not learn much of it in the regular way, for his master died before his apprenticeship was ended. William, however, clung to the trade and was devoted to his work. William was living at Bennington, VT. during the Revolutionary War, and, during the battle on Aug. 6, 1777, he was taken prisoner by the British twice, and twice escaped. From Bennington, he later removed to Easton, Washington Co., NY, where several of his children were born. Around the turn of the century, he removed to Utica, NY, where he died. His wife, Sarah, and her youngest child, Daniel, moved westward to Alabama, Genesee Co., NY, an lived with her son, James, "the pioneer." [1]
