100. DAVID⁶ PIPER (ELISHA⁵, SAMUEL⁴, SAMUEL³, NATHANIEL², JOSIAS¹) was born December 24, 1771 in Stratham, New Hampshire, and died December 10, 1861 in Amelia, Clermont County, Ohio. He married NANCY CHEVERS May 23, 1793 in Parsonsfield, York, Maine. She was born September 16, 1776 in Salem, Massachusetts, and died September 27, 1852 in Amelia, Clermont County, Ohio.

Notes for DAVID PIPER:
      David Piper, born December 24, 1771 in Statham, NH; was a ship-builder, brick maker, and farmer. He married Nancy Chevers May 23,1793. After his marriage he settled in Hampden, Me., and was engaged in ship-building in company with another man, in 1814, when the British, on the third of Sept. of that year, made an attack on the town, pillaged the houses and stores, and burned several vessels which were in course of construction, one of which belonged to him and his partner. After a battle of one hour the British were victorious and according to "Coolidge and Mansfield's History of New England," carried away to Castine, Me., about eighty of the citizens as prisoners of war, of whom he was one; only fifty-seven appear of the parole. They were , however, soon released on the condition that the selectmen of Hampden should pay one thousand dollars as a ransom; but the war soon closing, and the treaty of peace having been ratified at Washington February. 17,1815, the money was never paid. A copy of the parole of the prisoners is now in the possession of his grand-daughter, Mrs. Mary T. (Jemegan) McGill of Amelia, Ohio, who has had the kindness to furnish me a copy! The great loss of property occasioned by the destruction of his vessel, and the complete prostration of business at the close of the war, in connection with the cold years of 1815 and 1816, caused his financial ruin, and he resolved to emigrate to the West, and try his fortune there. Some time in 1817 he went to Ohio, and settled in New Richmond, Clermont County. After remaining there a year, and making the necessary preparations, his son-in-law, Hiram Harding, in 1818, moved his family and his own, consisting of ten persons in all, to that place, traveling all that long and tedious journey of twelve hundred miles in a wagon covered with canvas, and drew by two horses. In many places the roads were so soft and muddy that all except the smallest children, were obliged to walk many a mile on foot. They all, however, arrived safely. He lived in New Richmond about eleven years, or till 1828, and was engaged in farming and brick-making, and made the first bricks ever made in New Richmond. He removed from this place to Cincinnati, and carried on brick-making there for three years, when he purchased a farm at Pleasant Hill, a place about four miles from Amelia, Ohio, and pursued the business of farming about six years, and made considerable money. He then sold this farm, and purchased another in Amelia, to which he removed and continued the business of farming till his death, which occurred at that place December 10, 1861, at the age of almost ninety years. His wife died September 27, 1852, in Amelia. He was a man of high integrity, and respected by those who knew him. In person he was tall and erect, being fully six feet in height, and capable of great endurance. He visited his early home in Parsonsfield, in 1826, which was the only time after he went to Ohio. Notwithstanding his reverses he made life a success, and accumulated a good property which, at his death, was equally divided among his children. During the summer of 1816 there was a killing frost in Maine every month, which has never happened since. General Chamberlain, in his work, "Maine: Her Place in History," says that in 1815 and 1816 "the State lost fifteen thousand of her most energetic people. This great exodus was sometimes called the Ohio fever.
      There has been some doubt about this name but it is recorded in the marriage records of the town of Parsonsfield, Me. Nancy Chevers.
