    After the war he was engaged in farming for several years in farming in Sheffield. In 1787 he moved to the town of Williston, Vermont. He moved his family to Florida, New York about 1794 adn six years later to Preble, New York. His farm lay on the present Tully line and adjoined that of his brother Samuel. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church in Preble.

    "Once on a time there was a string of Trowbridge farms about a mile long, one-half mile south from Tully village, in the town of Preble, commencing with William and his family of boys on the north.. Milo, my father, next; Uncle James next; and Uncle Hiram with his boys in the old, big red house of Grandfather Seth; next was Uncle Samuel, brother of Seth. All of these were farmers brought up to the trade of farming, and it was a real Trowbridge neighborhood. But oh, how changed it now is! I am the only Trowbridge living in the two towns; all have passed away, or wandered off th the Far West. Grandfather Seth was a strong, enterprising Yankee. Most of the seven sons were six-footers, and the six daughters were as fine-looking girls as could be found round about."
