Biography
Rufus was born about 1780. Rufus Pinkham ... He passed away in 1858. [1]
parents, birth date and location [Madbury, N.H.], spouse, death date [ Apr 25 1828], and “farmer . . .'Deacon Rufus Pinkham had the reputation of being a man of few words, but one whose every word told. He had the same quiet, even disposition possessed by the other members of the Pinkham family, and his faithful Christian character as deacon of the church made his words prevail with a double sway. His recog- nized good judgment in temporal matters gave a great weight to his opinions in town affairs. He was early afflicted with a disease of the spine which rendered all heavy work impossible, and placed him continually under medical treatment. But by careful man- agement he was yet able to carry on his farm, with the aid of hired labor, and supported his large family and educated his sons In distant schools. He also lived generously among his neigh- bors and was unhampered by debt.'” in Sinnett [2]
Parents, name with middle initial, birth date and location,[3] spouse and marriage date and location,[4] five children, death date and location in Hollick.[5]
