instance of longevity in the Mead family, for which he was indebted to the Stamford (Ct) Advocate: "We often hear of singular cases of longevity up among the hills of Litchfield county, but we do not recollect anything that exceeds in this respect the following facts in relation to one of the families of old Greenwich. Edmond and Theodosia Mead had ten children, all in the eighteenth century, seven of whom are now living, whose aggregate age at the present time exceeds five hundred years. The survivors are — Benjamin, born April 24, 1780; Sarah, born August 22, 1782; Obadiah, born March 10, 1785; Mary, June 1, 1787; Ralph, born April 24, 1789; Stants M., born April 28, 1791; Brockholst L., born August 8, 1797. It is equally remarkable that there has not been a death in the family for more than sixty years, and not a day during that time in which one of them has been confined to bed by sickness. The seven children are all in the possession of vigorous health at the present time."
