Axtell Family of Grafton MA
30 years a District Nurse in Grafton until 1957.
It appears to be an authentic indenture of a Matilda Boone into the Thomas Axtell
household in Grafton MA. Thomas (1712-1798, #4-4 in the 1945 Axtell Genealogy) was the
only Axtell in the first 4 generations to do better than eke out an existence as a
frontier farmer (except for one blacksmith). He wisely married Elizabeth Sherman of
Marlboro and got the wealth of land in North Grafton where Joseph Axtell Aldrich still
lives, 7 generations later, near the Turnpike. |
