			DEARBORN, THOMAS, Lieut.,

Came from Chester, not far from 1764, and bought his farm where Mr. N.B. 
Hall now lives. He married Mary Morrison, who was brought up in the family 
of Major Baker.  They had four children:  David, John, Thomas, Samuel.  
David died in the State of New York, John in Sandbornton, N.H.  Mr. Dearborn 
enlisted into the army in 1778, and was made a Lieutenant in Col. Peabody’s 
Regiment, in Rhode Island where our forces were waiting to cooperate with 
the French fleet. 
	On the 28th of August, 1778, he was killed by a British cannon ball,
while effecting some movement with his men.  The gun which he carried at 
the time is in possession of Hon. Abraham Emerson, and the sword is at the 
house of Mr. Isaac Fitts, on High Street, relics more interesting from the 
associations connected with them, than from any real worth.
