Timothy Childs, Jr. was a surveyor and soldier, having served in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). He married Mary Wells, Jr., and it is said that they were "the richest couple ever married in Deerfield [Massachusetts]." (A History of Deerfield, George Sheldon, Vol. II, pg. 894) After losing their fortune, the couple moved to nearby Turners Falls, Massachusetts.
Timothy enslaved a man named Amos, whose tooth was extracted by Dr. Thomas Williams in 1749. The couple also enslaved a man named Caesar, whom Mary most likely brought with her when she wed Timothy.
