                                       MATERNAL 3RD GREAT GRANDPARENTS

    Mark Anthony Child was the third son and fifth child of Capt. Increase and Olive Pease Child.  He was born in Oblong, Dutchess, N.Y.  On May 10, 1771, and died in Feb 1843 in Milton, Saratoga, N.Y.  Mark A. Child married Hannah Benedict Dec. 8, 1793, daughter of John and Hannah Carter Benedict of Woodstock, Windham County, Conn.  Mark married, 2nd, in 1819 to Submit Peacock and had five additional children besides the twelve by his first wife Hannah.

    Mark learned how to farm from his father and made it his vocation.  He lived in Stillwater, Milton, and Greenfield, Saratoga Co., New York.  Mark was a leader of people and people believed in what he said.  Mark was not completely satisfied with all the beliefs of the Congregationalists.  The standing order of the Congregationalists were very strict in keeping the Sabbath.  They were very strict in keeping all forms of religion as they understood them.  The Congregationalists kept the Sabbath from Saturday night to Sunday night sundown.  There was no labor indoors or outdoors as soon as the sun was set.  All food was prepared and put in the pot prior to sundown.

    The parents took their whole family to meetings, returned home for dinner, and then the parents would teach religion exercises until the sun set. As you well can imagine the sun set was watched closely by the children and parents.  As soon as the sun went down the men prepared for the week's work, and the women began the work of being ready for the great wash day on Monday.

    Perhaps some of the ideas of his Uncle William Child rubbed off.  Mark was a very religious man as each generation had been before him.  Mark formulated his ideas into a religion and formed a church.  Mark was the dominant man in establishing the first Universal Church of Greenfield.  The original members met in homes and as the congregation grew they met in local school houses.  As the members outgrew the local school houses, the decision was made to build a church building in 1816.

    The society was organized and incorporated in 1819 with thirty members.  The church was the First Universal Church and Society of Greenfield.  Mark A. Child and John Harris presided at the first meeting.  The officers of the church were Frederick Parkman, Abner Medbury and John W. Creal, who composed the first board of trustees.  From 1840 to 1844 a flourishing Sunday-day school and Bible class of sixty scholars was held.  Upon the death of Mark A. Child 1843 the church began to die out and has never been revived.

    Mark A. Child was a tall man, thin faced, with the prominent Child nose, wore a mustache, and had dark brown hair.  He had the ability to attract and rally people to the religious cause.  His religious teachings were passed on to his family who were also very religious.

    In the deeds of Saratoga Co., N.Y. From 1792-1821, page 73 are found several Child deeds:

       "Mark A. Child of Greenfield to Silas Pattan of Lyons,             Wayne Co., 1826."

       "Mark A. Child, wife Submitty of Greenfield to John                Miller, of Stillwater, 1826."

       "Ephriam Child, wife Polly of Stillwater to Wm. Strang of
          Stillwater 1816"

       "Ephriam Child, wife Polly of Stillwater to Wm. Strang of
          Stillwater 1816".

       "Ephriam Child's, wife Polly of Stillwater to Tobias Poer
          of Stillwater 1821"

    The above Ephriam Child listed in the deeds is the brother of Mark A. Child and was an M.D.and served in the County Medical Society and in the war of 1812 as a physician.

    Mark A. Child was a great father and loved children.  His first wife Hannah Benedict Child bore Mark twelve children and his second wife Submitty, bore five children and raised all seventeen children.  The first two children were born in Greenfield, Saratoga Co., N.Y., and then in 1797, Mark moved his family to Milton, Saratoga Co., N.Y.
