Notes

!S.P. may p.61 All of the ten children except Simeon died in 1765-6 of small-pox, imported in a package of clothing, sent form the West Indies, and washed in the house. Another account says the disease originated in the family of Dea. Paul Crowell, a wealthy citizen who lived near Ryder's Mill; in all 65 persons took the infection; the town expended L 901 7 0, besides individual contributions. Mr Ryder, his wife and ten children were stricken down with the disease at once. At that early day the science of medicine was comparatively in its infancy: but few of the doctors knew anything practically about the malady. The two resident doctors died of the disease; finally a physician was brought from Boston to see the family, who pronounced the disease to be small-pox, of the most virulent and ,alignant type. The father, mother and nine children died of the foul disease. Simeon, a child of eleven years, was the only survivor, and the only heir of a large landed property. The bodies were buried on the farm, in a row of eleven mounds, where they remain to this day, an object of sad curiosity to the passer by. There were buried in this spot, in all about twenty, connected with the family. A sister of Mrs Ryder, Rebecca Howes, died of the disease; also Nehemiah Doane, who m. Hope Sears. Simeon Ryder, the surviving child, was born in 1755; he lived and died on the place he inherited. He married 1st, Mercy Godfrey; 2d, in 1788, Patience Crowell, and had several children, of whom were Stephen and Simeon; the latter a noted shipmaster, and for many years a prominent railroad man and citizen of Alton, IL, where he died in 1877, aged 82 years.
