84. Jerusha TALCOTT52 died in Sep 1805 in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. She was born May3, 1717 in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. Jerusha, daughter Gov. Joseph Talcott and Eunice Howell, was born in Hartford, May 3, 1717, married Doctor Daniel Lathrop, of Norwich, Conn., Dec 14, 1744.
Doctor Daniel Lathrop died in Norwich, 1782. "Madam" Lathrop, his widow, died in Norwich, Sept., 1805.
Doctor Daniel Lathrop was descended from the Rev. John Lathrop, of Barnstable, 1`634, through Samuel, of Norwich, 1670. He was graduated at Yale College, in 1733; went to London, England, where he studied medicine for several years. On his return he brought with him a large quantity of medicines, and was the first druggist in Norwich, and probably the first in Connecticut. He furnished a part of the stores for the northern army in the French war. He took into partnership his younger brother, Joshua, who graduated at Yale College in 1743, under the firm of the Bros. Lathrop; with them began the change of the orthography of the name. In 1776, the name of the firm was changed to Lathrop & Coit. Doctor Daniel had "three precious sons cut down like flowers of the field, almost at a single sweep of the scythe, before the oldest had attained the age of four years." This was all the offspring they had. Madam Lathrop long mourned the Doctor and was regarded with universal esteem. "The early childhood of the gifted daughter of Norwich, Mrs. L. H. Sigourney, was passed under the roof of this excellent lady. Having lost her own children in their infancy, she lavished all her maternal affection on this child of her heart, who repaid her tenderness with filial veneration and has embalmed her memory in hallowed verse. Mrs. Sigourney was the daughter of Ezekiel Huntley, was born Sept. 1, 1791; m. Charles Sigourney, of Hartford, June 16, 1819."
Dr. Daniel and Joshua Lathrop were the fourth generation of the name in Norwich, sons of Thomas, who died May 25, 1774, ae. 93. They had one sister who married Joseph Coit of New London. Dr. Joshua died in 1807.
"Doctor Daniel, in common with others, wore a white wig and a cocked hat. He rode to meeting in a yellow chaise with a red morocco top, with a negro driver in front, his dignified companion, the daughter of Gov. Talcott, sitting by his side.
