Jedediah NORTH [1] |
- Jedediah North was a very religious man. He was remembered by his grandchildren for his strict observance of the Sabbath Day. On Sundays, when they went according to their custom, to his house to spend the noon hour between church services, they always found him seated at a table with his Bible before him. Once he appeared at his back door and caught them in the act of picking pears under a tree; he called out: "Children, there are plenty of pears in the house that you can have, but you must not pick them up from the ground on Sunday."
He joined the Kensington Church in 1758 and was a charter member of the Second Congregational Church in Berlin, founded in 1775, of which his father was the first deacon. His house, on the east side of the way at the north end of Berlin village, has been moved back from the street and is now used as a barn. He bought land of Josiah Burnham, in 1786. Recorded as of Berlin in the first Census of 1790. He had eleven children and over eighty grandchildren. [1]
