Story

S.R. Durand:

"John Root was five feet ten inches tall, a strongly-built, vigorous man, and always soundly well. He was born in 1685 in Farmington, the second child of Stephen and Sarah (Wadsworth) Root. In 1707, he settled in the part of Kensington which was then called The Great Swamp and which later became part of Berlin. He was one of the first settlers, his deed being dated 1703. He commenced clearing a farm, which was a very difficult operation at that time, the ground being thickly covered with grapevines and brush. He built his barn in 1706 and his house in 1712, both of which were standing on the old homestead of the family more than 250 years later, and may still be standing today. He married July 10, 1716, Margaret Strong. He was a prominent church member, and in 1720 was collector of the rate bill for the minister's support. In the same year, he was one of a committee of three chosen by the Great Swamp Parish for the purpose of erecting a church.

John Root was never sick until his last illness. He died November 16, 1764 of lung fever, after only three days' illness."
