- Hiel Hollister, Pawlet One Hundred Years, J. Munsell: Albany, NY, 1867, 265: "born in England, 1765; came to this country during the revolution, a soldier in the British service. He deserted while the army lay on the Hudson, and being hotly pursued, swam the river. When his pursuers came up, they fired upon him, but to no purpose. He waved his hat in triumph and exclaimed, "Boys, you are too late." He joined our army and continued in it to the end of the war. He settled in the southwest part of the town, the only guide to his place then being marked trees. He died in 1815, aged 60. He raised a family of ten children, all of whom lived to marry and settle. John Wiseman, Jr., married a daughter of Nehemiah Bourn, and succeeded to the homestead, but afterwards built a house across the line in Rupert. He raised a large family of children John, Milton B., Josephine, and others. Milton m. Ann, da. of James Whedon; Josephine m. Dewitt C. Wait."
