614. DEANTHEUM HUBBARD BRAINERD (Sylvester, Oliver, Eliakim, Gideon, James, Daniel) of Haddam, Middlesex Co., Conn.; m., Sept. 30, 1829, Sally Marie Dickinson, b. Mch. 28, 1808, dau. of Darius and Anna (Hubbard) Dickenson of Haddam. He was grand juror three years, board of relief one year, justice of the peace one year, road commissioner three years. He and his wife with friends celebrated their golden wedding Sept. 30, 1879. Eighty relatives and members of the family attended festivities. Four generations were present, including the father of Mrs. Brainerd, Capt. Darius Dickinson, who was 94½ years of age. He was a Freemason, and probably the oldest member of that fraternity in this state. Mr. Brainerd was 75 years old, and his wife 71 years old. For several years whe has had failing eyesight, but during the past seven years she has made 30 bed quilts, one of which contains over 9,000 pieces; most of the sewing had to be done with the work so near her face that at times it would seem impossible for her to escape injury. She has done her household work alone through 50 years of domestic life, and reared a large family. He lived in Turkey Hill district, Haddam.
Captain Brainerd was a leading ship builder on the Connecticut River for many years, building no less than 42 vessels and sailing craft for George E. and William H. Goodspeed. He engaged in the business when only 18 years old, and at 21 was entrusted with the management of the shipyard. He was one of the first Connecticut men to have anything to do with steam vessels, and was among the first to make the trip with the old steamboat "Enterprise." Of late years he has given his attention to farming, and controls a large tract of land of 200 acres or more in Haddam, Conn.
Among the guests present was Capt. Chauncey Dickenson, a brother of Mrs. Brainerd, who was married the same day with herself. A notable fact concerning the costumes worn was that Capt. Brainerd had on the same vest which he wore on the day of his marriage. He also wore an old fashioned swallow-tail coat with brass buttons. Mr. Deantheum Hubbard Brainerd d. Feb 5, 1892, ae 85 yrs., 2 mos, 27 ds. Mrs. Sally Marie (Dickenson) Brainerd d. Jan. 12, 1894, ae. 85 yrs., 11 mos, 7 ds.".
