7.  Excerpt from Sleeper News, v. 2, n. 1, Feb 1994 (online at the Washington County NYGenWeb site), under the heading, "Hampton":
Abiather Millard came from Connecticut.  He settled on the hill about half a mile west of Poultney river, at the upper bridge.  He was a blacksmith, and followed his trade, together with farming.  He was a soldier of the Revolution.  His son, Paulinus, born in 1792, is still living on the homestead.  He married a daughter of Elder Draper, the first Methodist preacher.  Paulinus Millard was in the War of 1812, and was at Plattsburg.  His sister, Mrs. Stacy, is living in Benson, VT. 

Another Abiather Millard, also a blacksmith, came in at an early period, and settled at the lower bridge.  He and the Abiather Millard mentioned above were not related by blood, but married sisters.

Our subject is, of course, the first Abiathar.  All is correct, except that the two Abiathar's are related by blood — they are first cousins.  Obviously, this item published in the Sleeper News was written long before 1994.
