Orampton, who was married to Ira Ward Nov. 18,181T.The iirst year of their married life was spent with Jesse Ward, after which the young couple, with abounding health and brave spirits for capital, went to New Haven to make a home for themselves.There they have always lived, buying their present farm in 1*32, then an unbroken forest, now as easily cultivated 300 sores as can be found in town. In their young days roads were bridle paths, whose route was indicated by blared trees; later the bridle path was widened to admit of aluxurious mode of travel, by ox-cart. provided the driver was skilful enough to dodge among the trees without getting upset.Many are the stindng incidents in Mr. Ward’* early life. The chief great event was t he war of 1812. when \ erffeanot was not only a fort, but a shipyard and headquarters for military operations and *up-ateson Lake Champlain.
