He was the golden link that connected the present with the past; the War of 1812, the organization of the cantonment in Pittsfield, and the establishment of the Berkshire Agricultural Society were occurrences of his boyhood; his especial interest was in the agricultural society; for seventy-five years he missed attendance upon their annual farmers' festivals but once; his reminiscences of the long past were most valuable to the present rising generation; he died where he lived, lamented by all who knew him."²

     Note: Obviously there is a problem with Erastus here. The dates don't make any sense. Married at 9 and having children at 10 years of age? I don't believe that for a minute.
The most logical explanation is that his birth date is in error. If that date is accurate then all the other dates associated with this family have serious issues.
If anyone has any information that would help clear this up, I would love to hear from you.³
