Terrill/Turrill (see #9). After the war,
he removed to Middletown Springs, Vermont, where he carved out a farm and home
from the virgin forests in a beautiful spot among the Green Mountains. It is now known as Oatman Hill, a place well
worth visiting.

Unfortunately, the
town records of Middletown Springs for those early years have been destroyed by
fire and the information here recorded is taken from Vermont Gazetteer, Frisbie's History of Middletown, and the Vermont
Revolutionary Rolls, together with some records found in the families.
