Tryphena Booth, on the 31st of July, 1775, and during the same year removed
to Conway, Mass., making the journey on horseback, carrying his wife on the
horse behind him and, upon his arrival in that place, had but twenty-five
cents in money with which to commence business and housekeeping. He was a man
of great courage and physical strength, and very frequently, after working
all day on the farm, would spend the greater part of the night in hard labor
at his trade, which was that of a blacksmith. He was also scrupulously honest
in all his dealings, but he believed in being just to himself as well as to
other, and required prompt payment of what was due him. Besides physical
endurance, he possessed considerable financial ability for, commencing with
nothing, he accumulated what in those days was considered quite a fortune.
