He settled on the place...given him by his father in Milford, East Farms, since called North Milford. He was the second who settled in said Farms, one Bryan being the first. The family place is situated on the east side of the New Haven and Milford turnpike, on the road which goes from the old country road, crossing the turnpike at right angles, to North Milford meeting-house. The house stood on the eminence just east of the brook. This has been the family place for more than a century. Jesse lost his house by fire, in April, 1748, in which were burnt many valuable family papers. He immediately rebuilt the house, at present standing. Jesse Lambert died Dec. 26, 1773. Mary, his wife, died June 26, 1776. They were burried near the middle of the burying-ground, (Milford:) a low red stone marks the place of their interment." [2]
