"JEREMIAH, b. 30 April 1743; living at Goshen 4 Feb. 1777 when he sold all of his property there to Major (later General) John Sedgwick, his neighbor across the town line in Cornwall Hollow (Goshen Deeds, 6:144). Calvin Duvall Cowles (p. 62) stated without source that Jeremiah m. Esther Cowles, b. at Canaan 30 Sept. 1744, eldest child of Joseph and Ruth (Woodruff) Cowles of Southington and Canaan. This marriage, probably about 1764, is abundantly supported by later familial associations in Connecticut and Smithville, Chenango Co., N.Y. At age 19, Jeremiah served with his brother Daniel in the 1762 campaign. He had built a house before September 1772 on property which his father had given him that January, located almost on the Goshen-Cornwall line and just north of his father's home (Goshen Deeds, 5:126; 6:108). During 1772 and 1774 Jeremiah sold parts of this land to his brother-in-law Samuel Oviatt Jr. (no v.) and bought the remaining part of his father's property (ibid., 5:170, 172; 6: 14, 15). Jeremiah and Esther had at least six unrecorded children (surname Harris): 1. Eunice, b. ca. 1765. 2. Rebecca, b. ca. 1771. 3. Elisha, b. August 1773. 4. Joseph, b. ca. 1775. 5. Alanson. 6. Woodruff. All but Rebecca settled in New York and Ohio."
