Biography

He spent his life in Newington. He was a farmer, and a man of excellent character and standing in the community. Though he did not make a profession of religion until later in life, he was of undoubted piety and especially strict in his regard for the Sabbath. It is said that he forbade even " the cracking of nuts " on the Lord's day, and a grove of butter nut trees near his house gives a probability to this story. With him regular attendance at Divine worship was one of the chief concerns of life, and he would face the fierce snow storms of the winter, which blocked even the good Parson Beldon, who on occasion, discovered Mr. Churchill in front of the parsonage, on horseback, floundering in the snow drifts, and shouted the question, " Where are you going Mr. Churchill ? " " To meeting " replied the sturdy parishioner. " Well come in here , then, " answered the parson, " as I am not going out in this storm ". His grandson, Leonard Churchill-Hubbard, in 1903, describes him as thus, as he appeared about 1820: " He was a stocky-man, round face, kind spoken, and jovial for one of his years. "

They had 5 children.
