Notes:

• "yeoman", yeo·man| ˈyōmən | noun (plural yeomen) 1 historical a man holding and cultivating a small landed estate; a freeholder. • a person qualified for certain duties and rights, such as to serve on juries and vote for the knight of the shire, by virtue of possessing free land of an annual value of 40 shillings.
• "behoof", be·hoof| bəˈho͞of | noun archaic benefit or advantage: to make laws for the behoof of the colony.
• It's not clear when Daniel Clement (1796-1872) moved from Dracut to Hebron. This suggests he was still in Dracut in 1821. 📄 Letter to Daniel Clement, July 29 1831 suggests that he had moved by then.
• Allen Perham, Lucy Perham and Susanna Perham were probably related to Daniel's mother Rachel Perham (1763-1838).
