  • Notes 
    • Samuel Backus was the second s/o Joseph Backus. He was a quiet, enterprising farmer, prosperous in his own business, but having little to do with public affairs. He was an affectionate father, and kind husband. “The family had removed from the original home lot nearer the Landing, to what is now known as Yantic. Here he erected a grist mill — the second one in the settlement — receiving special grants from the town, and commenced the erection of the iron works.
