John Daggett, A Sketch of the History of Attleborough (1834)

Town history, read in the archive.org full text. It prints extracts from the Attleborough town records. Used for the Tyler and Capron families:

• Banfield Capron: "Tradition says, he came to this country alone when he was quite a lad, as a cabin-boy, to seek his own fortune"; he settled where Joab Daggett later lived "and laid out the lands there." Gives the death of his wife Elizabeth as 10 Mar 1735 (Savage has the same date).
• Capt. Samuel Tyler: in 1720 Willett's Farm, a grant on the Seven Mile River first laid out to Capt. Thomas Willett, was divided between him and Joyce Newell, widow of Jacob Newell; the farm "was originally laid out with great regularity, in parallel lines." On 3 Jan 1750/1 the town chose "Col. Thomas Bowen, Maj. John Foster and Capt. Sam. Tyler a committee" to petition the General Court for a straight boundary line from the middle of Accord Pond westward (town records).
• The survivor's account of Capt. Jabez Ellis's company of sixty minute men on 19 April 1775 (pp. 81-82), in which Ebenezer Tyler marched: "We sat out at night," a stop at Maxcy's tavern, "two tables by the road side generously provided with food for the soldiers" at Dedham, and at Roxbury they "were then marched round and round Roxbury Meeting House, to make as much show of numbers as possible in view of the British."
