death in 1818 by his son Nathan Daboll, and later in 1863 by his grandson David Austin Daboll. According to the information given on page 94 of the almanac for 1894, Edmund Freebetter was originally the pseudonym of Clark Elliott, as- sumed by him in 1771 and later in 1774, taken also by Nathan Daboll. The series of almanacs by Clark Elliott was started in 1766 and that by Nathan Daboll in 1773. In 1774 both almanacs were issued under the name of Edmund Freebetter. From 1778 on, one series only was issued, of which Nathan Daboll was the author. He retained, however, by agree- ment, the name of Edmund Freebetter until the death of Clark Elliott in 1793. After that date the almanacs were published under his own name.
