Note for: Noah Chittenden, 1753 - 1835 Index

Individual Note:
Noah Chittenden, Hon:
Oldest son of Governor Thomas Chittenden, born in 1753 had entered public life previous to his coming to Jericha, as we find him sheriff of Addison County in 1785. He married a daughter of John Fasset of Bennington, and had two children: Thomas, born in 1791, and Hannah wife of Hon. Truman Galusha, born 1795. His son Thomas, or as he was commonly called, Judge Thomas, after his father’s death, removed to Ohio, where his son Thomas Jefferson still resides. Most of the original titles to land were lost by sheriff’s sale for taxes. By this means: “Judge Noah” became the owner of nearly or quite 2000 acres, by far the most opulent landholder in town. He had, therefore, a great influence, and was much employed in public business in town and county. We remember him well - a hale, stout, vivacious old gentleman. He died rather suddenly of apoplexy in 1835. From Hemenway’s Vermont Historical Gazetteer. Pr 832, Jericho, Vermont. (In land records it is noted that Noah Chittenden did a lot of selling and buying of land in Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont). President Elector from Vermont 1812.

Note for: Ebenezer Chittenden, 11 SEP 1726 - Index

Individual Note:
Ebenezer Chittenden:
2nd, great-great-grandson of Lt. William Chittenden, was born 11th Sept 1726, in East Guilford, whither his father had removed. His mother was a sister of Dr. Samuel Johnson of Stratford. He settled in New Haven. Possessing great mechanical genius, he invented, among other curious machines, one for bending and cutting card teeth in a single movement. It is said some unscrupulous person obtained knowledge of this invention and patented it in England as his own. Eli Whitney had an exalted opinion of Mr. Chittenden’s skill and judgement as a mechanic. He died 11th May 1812. (p. 493).
