Pawlet (VT) One Hundred Years
Hiel Hollister
1867
J. Munsell, Albany
TODD, Dr. ELIEL, settled on the present homestead of
Joseph B. Safford, and was the first physician in the north part of the town. He
was a skillful and talented physician and tradition invests him with rare
endowments. He was a lieutenant in the revolution. He died in 1793, from poison
accidentally taken. His son, Jonathan, first settled near George W. Burt’s. He
removed to Granville, where he was known as an intelligent and influential
politician. About 1850, he kept the brick tavern at North Granville, whence he
went west, but did not long survive.
