Notes - Emigrated to Londonderry, New Hampshire, which is now Windham, as early as 1723, and is the ancestor of most of the Dinsmoors of NH. He was taken prisoner by the Indians, and, after various adventures, finally made his appearance in the Scotch settlement of Londonderry, NH, with many of the people there he was acquainted, having known them in Ireland. He made his home in what is now Windham. Being a mason, he built a stone house, in which he lived, and where he died in 1741. In 1891 the place was occupied by Phineas D. Scott.
After building a home, he sent for his son Robert and his daughter Elizabeth to come with their step-mother, and their families to live with him.
