NOTES
1). Ephraim Starr went to sea as a young man and afterwards moved to Goshen, Connecticut, where he clerked in the store owned by Uri Hill. When Hill died, he married his employers widow and took over the business. At the time of the Revolution he supplied the local troops and the minutes of the town meeting of September 25th, 1777, say that he was appointed chairman of a committee with full powers to purchase, at the expense of the town, for each non commissioned officer and soldier required of this town One shirt, either linen or flannel one hunting shirt or frock, one pair of woolen overalls, one or two pairs of stockings, one pair of good shoes, &c, &c. Rev. A. T. Hibbard, in his history of Goshen, says that After the close of the Revolutionary War his facilities for business were greatly increased. Before the British troops had left New York he went to the city and purchased of persons who were connected with them and who wished to leave there a large quantity of goods at a very low price. These goods were brought to his store, and it is safe to say that they were not sold at a low price just give the facts please! Just at that time there was no other merchant in the town, but one in Litchfield, none in Norfield, Cornwall, or Torrington, and the peiople in Litchfield traded as much with him as their own merchant. Mr. Starr bought large quantities of produce from the farmers, butter, cheese, pork and many white ash oars a specialty of northwestern Connecticut at that time . For this porduce he paid no money but always in goods from his store. He employed many teams in the transportation of his produce to New Haven and Derby, and bringing back goods for his store. This was all done by teams of oxen and with carts and sleds. As Hibbard implies, Ephraim Starr was a very successful merchant, and when he retired in 1793, he held property worth more than $200,000, a very large fortune for that time and place. Although the Congregational Church was established in Connecticut until the 1830 s, Starr attended the Episcopal Church. He died while returning from a journey to Lebanon Springs, New York.
