James Alcox, son of John and Deborah (Blakeslee) Alcock, married Hannah Barnes, and settled a mile northeast of the old homestead, where his grandson, James, now (1873) resides. His house was built in the Autumn of 1774, and he moved into it while the carpenters were at work upon it. On the 5th of December following, his son James was born. Three weeks from that da)- the house took fire in the night and was consumed. Strangled by the smoke, he awoke, and began some efforts to save the house. His wife, who had not been out of the house during her illness, tried to raise the window, but this could not be done, it being new. She then broke the window with her hands, and gave the baby to his sister outside, and she crept out, the window consisting of only four panes of glass, and went to the neighbors, with no apparel except her night clothes, her hands bleeding by the way from cuts by the glass. Nothing was saved from the house but the members of the family. In nine days the frame of a new one was raised, and it is still standing. People came from far and near to help build this house ; some coming over fifteen miles. He resided in this house until his death, Aug. 9, 1806, ae. 72.

Barnes-15040 and Barnes-5435 appear to represent the same person because: Please agree to merge these duplicate profiles. Thanks! Her correct mother should be Smith-50474, and her birth year should be about 1747, not 1736.

According to Jacobus's 'Families of Ancient New Haven', on page 119, Hannah Barnes was the daughter of Caleb Barnes's 2nd wife, Martha Smith-50474, not his first wife Hannah Sanford. He didn't marry Martha until 28 Jan 1741/2, so Hannah was more likely to have been born about 1747
