In the Plainfield Selectman's Records the following refers to Paupers and Relief: Alpheus Stowell's Child 1812 Alpheus Stowell's boy 1813 Quincy Stowell (child) 1813-1815 Polly Stowell 1815-16 Warren Stowell's wife 1814-1816 In Bill Streeter's One Cummington, vol. 2, page 211-12, he makes mention of Warren Stowell. "Speaking of pauperism, at an April 5th [1819] town meeting, the following resolution was passed: 'Voted to instruct the Selectmen to prosecute the man who brought Warren Stowell and his wife into town an[d] the town to which they are supposed to belong on the best information they can obtain.' At an April 3, 1820 town meeting we find the cryptic mention which follows, 'Elected Nehemiah Richards Esq. agent to superintend the suit commenced by Cummington vs. the town of Abingdon.' We can only guess that this suit may have been related to the question of the Town's refusal to support Warren Stowell and wife."
