Miles P. Squier

The miscellaneous writings of Miles P. Squier ... with an autobiography, ... Squier, Miles Powell, 1792-1866.

"I was born, in Cornwall, Vermont, May 4th, 1792; being the second son and child of Wait and Hannah Squier. My parents were of English descent, and natives of Berkshire Co., Mass. My father was the third son of Andrew Squier, of Lanesboro, Mass., through whom the family is traced to Waterbury, and that re- gion in Connecticut. My mother's maiden name was Hannah Powell: she was the fourth daughter of Miles Powell, whose name I inherit. He was a man of some distinction in his day, and the Colonel of a regiment of Berkshire Militia, in the well-known Bennington battle in the war of the Revolution: that beginning of victories in behalf of the American standard, which had so much influence on the great issue pending, and on the liberties of the world."
