Notes
a. Note:   Jabez was a blacksmith as well as a farmer of the land he inherited from his father. Amos Otis, in his history, calls Mr. Jabez Linnell (118,7) "a respectable man." He goes on to say, though, that "The eight children of this family did not maintain the respectable position in society of the parents." He calls Elisha, one of the sons, "the laziest among the lazy" who in good humor "took no offense when reproved for his slothful and vagrant habits." It was especially Elisha who led Amos Otis to evaluate the family as having developed "two distinct races in all its generations. The pure blooded Linnel is an honest man, a good neighbor, and usually a sincere Christian. The Shellyes (descendants of Hannah Shelly, wife of David (11) are east and good natured, usually indolent and wanting in energy of character, and very rarely accumulate wealth." (Otis, Genealogical Notes, pa. 160-161)
  While one would question this view of inherited characteristics, it is of interest to note how one early townsman view the family.
