Notes:

Consider operated a farm and small store, presumably in Lyme, Connecticu t . In 1760, Consider moved to the village of Center Hill on the west Mou nt ain in Hartland, Connecticut and brought a farm that straddled the lin e b etween the towns of Barkhamst and Hartland, He was supposed to be a w rite r of prose and poetry, though none of his compositions seem to hav e survi ved.

Until after the birth of his first Child, Consider Tiffany lived in Lym e . He was a farmer and also carried on a small business as a storekeepe r . At Hartland, where his other children were born, he was engaged in t h e same business, but on a much larger scale. Many interesting document s o f his have been preserved. He was a vigorous man, transacting a grea t dea l of business and was always careful to enforce his right. H e w a s a mem ber of the Church of England and had little patience with t he dissentin g sects. He was at one time a schoolmaster, and when he ente red upon thi s work, it was said, it was the first time he had ever bee n in school, bu t he was a good teacher.

During the Revolutionary War, he was not only loyal to the Church of Eng l and, but also loyal to the English crown. He was something of an astron om er, and was supposed to have calculated an almanac, but no copy of i t ha s been found. He kept diaries, in which he recorded his daily advent ures , one of which covers the period of one of the French and Indian War s i n 1756. While this diary in many places is illegible, enough has bee n dec iphered to make it of interest. It begins on July 28th, when the co mpan y marched from Lyme, where it was recruited to Wallingford, Connecti cu t a distance of thirty-six miles. Here the company lodged at Mr. Cuthb ert ’s. On July 30th the men marched from Wallingford to Waterbury, throu gh C hester, and on the 31st to Westbury.
