Notes:

During the American Revolution, Thaddeus served in Captain Hale's company, Colonel Gerrish's regiment which joined the Northern Continental army in Sep 1777. In the returns his name was given as Rowe. He was also in the Battle of Bunker Hill.

He built a wooden home between 1775 and 1781 in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. His son, Hiram tore down part of the wooden structure and erected a fine two- story house built of red bricks which were cast on the property. This house was still standing in 1966 and in good condition.

Thaddeus was tall, broad-shouldered, stern and firm as the rock-ribbed hills of Concord End, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. He was a man of few words and could always be counted on where a good man was needed. He was one of the leading politicians of the town.

Besides being a farmer, he was also noted as a good bridge builder. These bridges were built of stone, dry construction, arched and earth filled. Some of them were still in use in 1966.

When he was 71 years old he was invited, with twenty-one others, all who served in the Revolution, to the home of Benjamin Pierce on 26 Dec 1825. It was Benjamin Pierce's sixty-seventh birthday.

One reference records his birth as 1750 in Billerica, Massachusetts. His gravestone says he died 22 Nov 1828 - age 76.
