George Washington TERRETT

1800 - 1876  (76 years)

• Name	George Washington TERRETT  [1, 2]
  	In early spring 1823, less than five months after his marriage, George W. Terrett of Granville bought his uncle John Terrett's half interest in a 130-acre farm in Colebrook, Connecticut, which the uncle had owned in common with his brother Charles; other purchases there followed. About April 1826, George returned to Granville, where he remained. A Hampden County history depicts him thus: GEOGE W. TERRETT, late a prosperous farmer and prominent citizen of Granville...sent his boyhood days in Stonington. His first attempt at earning a livelihood was in his father's store, but the removal of the family to the farm at Granville caused a change in his occupation. At that time, he took up farming and, finding himself adapted to it, adopted it as a life vocation. He was one of the most successful farmers in this part of the town and added to the old farm so that at one time he owned 460 acres. Mr. Terrett was a loyal republican and was selectman of Granville for some time and also held minor offices. he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he was an ardent worker and to whose support he liberally contributed. He died...while on a visit in Pittsfield at his daughter's home. [1]
