TIFFANY, AMASA, came to Walpole, from Ashford, Conn., in some of the last years of the 
eighteenth century. He married Sally, the sister of Dr. Stephen Johnson, and had three sons and one 
daughter, who came with their parents. He was born in 1764, and died April 17, 1850. His wife was 
born in 1771, and died Feb. 8, 1868, being 97 years old. He was a butcher, it is said, and lived at one 
time in the Walton Mead house, and owned the rabid dog that bit David, the son of John Livingston, 
mentioned heretofore, in 1815. Stephen, the oldest of his children, was born Feb. 22, 1792, and died 
Aug. 19, 1877. He married Maria, dau. of Dr. Stephen and Percy (Webber) Johnson, Oct. 18, 1818, 
who was born April 13, 1795, and died March 31, 1872. Stephen Tiffany was a soldier in the war of 
1812, and went to Portsmouth, N.H., in the company that went from Walpole with Col. Josiah Bellows; 
he was also captain, at one time, of the rifle company organized here. He lived to be eighty-five years of 
age, possessing a robust constitution, although he never in his lifetime ate but a very small quantity of 
meat. His course of life was smooth and even, and he died without an enemy. Ch. 1st, Harriet M., b.
