S.R. Durand: "Asahel Root was a farmer. He stood six feet two inches tall; some of his earlier Root ancestors had been called "the giants of Connecticut." He and his wife were admitted to the Congregational Church in Berlin on January 1, 1792, the Rev. Nathan Fenn being the pastor. They lived in the old Root homestead in Berlin, which had been built by his grandfather John Root in 1712. At the time in 1703 that John Root had obtained the deed for land in that part of Kensington which is now Berlin, it was then called the Great Swamp. Asahel Root died at the age of 52, after an illness of eighteen days."
