My father was taken in the year 1793 with a swimming or dizziness in his head, then with loss of words, insomuch that in attempting to pray in his family, he could not speak the words he would. Mother went to him to not try to proceed. This was his best attempt at that duty. In common conversations he would say yarns for bushels &c. This increased upon him till no one could understand him. Before he left off labor he would stagger like a drunken man. I have known him to fall down. He would try to strive to converse with the neighbors and speak correctly, and say he could not. This strange disorder which the Doctors called the Hypochondriac increased upon him till he was pronounced crazy. From the fall of that year till March 1794 he grew worse and worse till he died not having any thing pass through him but wind and water for 8 weeks nearly all the time on his bed, speechless. He died in the evening. Deacon Young was there and prayed. When the breath had nearly left him, my Mother in the anguish of her soul cried out "Now all my comfort is gone." David signed a will on 25 May 1793 in Dutchess Co, NY.⁴²⁵
