General Notes: Husband - David R. Tandy
Appears in the 1820 Poll/Tax records for the Town of Epsom, NH as a stone mason. Was also appointed surveyor of town highways. A veteran of the War of 1812. David was listed in the poll taxes for 1820,1821, 1822, and was not subject to a poll tax in 1824. The 1840 census lists David as a 'head of household' resident of Concord, but on March 9, 1843, the Town of Epsom, NH paid the City of Concord $11.50 for the support of David Tandy. This shows that David came upon rough times financially.
I suspect that the reason this Tandy clan moved to Concord was for work in the granite quarries that were abundent in the 19th century.Almost to a man, the Tandys were stone masons, stone cutters and quarrymen. The Tandys of Epsom, NH were not well off financially, as there are records of various "warnings out" in Deerfield and Brentwood, NH. Once they moved to Concord, they seemed to find financial security, became home and land owners.
The Tandys gravitated to the northern part of Concord, and that is where I believe most of the quarry work was. Ernest Holmes,Tandy researcher, and "History of Concord... 1725 to... 1853.", by Sanborn, both mention that the David Tandy family were known (in North Concord ) to be brawlers, and wouldn't back down from anyone. Calvin Tandy received a skull fracture on Nov. 3, 1851, in one of these altercations.
