- Biography Consider Tiffany
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 bought a farm that straddled the lin e be tween the towns of Barkhamsted and Hartland. He was supposed to b e a writ er of prose and poetry, though none of his compositions seem t o have surv ived. (Ella Wright book.) Until after the birth of his firs t children, Co nsider TIFFANY lived in Lyme, Connecticut. He was a farme r and also carri ed on a small business as a storekeeper. At Hartland, wh ere his other chi ldren were born, he was engaged in the same business, b ut on a much large r scale. Many interesting documents of his have been p reserved. He wa s a vigorous man, transacting a great deal of business an d was always car eful to enforce his rights. He was a member of the Churc h of England an d had little patience with the dissenting sects. He was a t one time a sch oolmaster, and when he entered upon this work, it is sai d, it was the fir st time he had ever been in school; but he was a good t eacher, so traditi on states, and he was a close student. During the Revo lutionary War, he w as not alone loyal to the English church but loyal t o the English crown . He was something of an astronomer, and is said to h ave calculated an al manac, but no copy of it has been found. He was a wr iter of prose and poe try. He kept diaries, in which he recorded his dail y adventures, one of w hich covers the period of one of the French and In dian wars, in 1756. Whi le this diary is in many places illegible, enoug h has been deciphered t o make it of interest. It begins on July 28, whe n the company marched fro m Lyme, where it was recruited, to Wallingford , Coon., a distance of thir ty-six miles. Here the company lodged at Mr . CUTHBERT's.
