AMOS TOLLES * 1740 - 1805; BURIED IN FOREST HILL CEMETERY, ATTICA
Amos was the son of Ebenezer and Sarah Sperry Tolles. He was baptized in Woodbridge, CT in February 1744. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War where he served for the state of Connecticut. On April 1, 1765 he married (Mrs.?) Elizabeth Cummins in New Milford, CT. They moved to Canaan and Durham, NY with their children Amos (born May 24, 1766), David, John (born May 16, 1770) who married Catherine Sibley, Samuel, Nathan, Chloe, Anna Mary who married John Eddy, Rachel, and Betsey who married Elijah Day. Amos enlisted with his son Amos in the 17th Albany County militia during the Revolutionary War. They served in Captain Elijah Bostwick's company of Colonel W. B. Whiting's regiment.
In about 1802, some of his children decided to move to the frontier to what is now Bennington, NY. Amos was the first white man to die in the town of Bennington in early December 1805, possibly while visiting his children. Another tradition has it that he was an early settler of Bennington. He was originally buried on a knoll in East Bennington. He was re-interred in 1879 in the Tolles family plot in Attica by his grandson, James Sibley Tolles, who also had Amos' grave marked as a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
