from The History of Goshen
"John North came to Goshen from Farmington, in 1745. He built the Blue House and commenced the mercantile buisness there, according to accounts, probably correct, as early as Novermber, 1751. In the summer of 1761 he is called a "merchant" in the accounts of Nathanael Stanley. As a trader he was contemporary with John Dibble, and it is not a little remarkable that they were forced to sell their homes at about the same time."
