Daniel Sleeper

Daniel was selectman in Sandown, Rockingham, New Hampshire soon after coming to his majority. He probably came to Bristol, Grafton, New Hampshire in 1790. After his marriage to Anna, they resided for a time in the family of her father on the east side of South Main Street, where their first child was born. Later they settled on the farm on the hillside to the east of Newfound Lake, later occupied by Mrs Laura R Mitchell. At that time the route to Bristol Village was by a path over the base of Bristol Peak to the Locke neighborhood, where a road leading to the village was reached. He was a shoemaker, probably the first in town. He taught his sons this trade and they used to go from house to house to work. He was one of the movers in the erection of the church on Bridgewater Hill. Daniel passed his life on this farm, and here he died.
