SALEM IN J700. NO. 26.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
The map on page 14 represents that
part of Salem which is bounded by Walnut,
Essex and Liberty streets and the South
river. It is based on actual surveys and
title deeds, and is drawn on a scale of
two hundred feet to an inch. It shows
the location of all the houses that were
standing there in 1700.
The braces marked " a ' ' show where
Charter street runs ; and the braces
marked " b " where Derby street runs.
Essex street was one of the original
highways of the town. It was called the
street or common highway in 1658 ; ye
highway, 1678; the main street, 1705;
and Essex street in 1799.
Walnut street was called a highway in
1694 ; a lane leading to ye South river,
1705 ; Elder Brown's lane, 1725 ; Brown's
lane, 1734 ; and Walnut street, 1795.
Elm street was an ancient way to the
cove ; and was called the street or com-
mon highway in 1658 ; a way in 1669 ; a
lane or street, 1674 ; the lane or highway
that goes down to South river, 1685 ; ye
street or town highway, 1687; highway
by Peter Osgood's tanhouse, 1695; the
highway or lane that goeth toward Maj.
John Higginson's wharf and warehouse,
1696 ; the lane which leads downe from
Col. John Higginson's house to ye South
river, 1699; the lane which leads down
from the main street to ye South river,
1699 ; a lane leading down to Peter Os-
good's, 1705; the lane that leads from
the maine street downe to the South
river nigh Capt. Osgood's, 1710; ye lane
that goes down to Capt. Osgood's, 1711;
Osgood's lane, 1737; Lowther's lane,
1755; Loader's lane, 1759; Loder's lane,
1785 ; Loader's lane, 1785 ; Lother's lane,
1785; Lodder's lane, 1792; and Elm
street, 1796.
Liberty street is also an ancient way.
It was called Ye lane next to John Pit-
man's in 1670; ye lane or highway that
leads down to the river, 1672 ; the lane
or highway that goes down to the South
river, 1678 ; the lane that goes down to
ye burying place, 1683 ; the burying place
lane, 1690; highway that leads down to
ye water's side, 1697 ; Liberty lane, 1789 ;
and Liberty street, 1800.
The western half of that part of Char-
ter street shown on the map as a lane,
was a strip of land conveyed by Hilliard
Veren, jr., of Salem, merchant, to William
Browne, jr., of Salem, merchant, Nov. 8,
1679,* for a way into the grantee's land.
When the lot of land, to which this lane
led, was conveyed by Richard Moore, sr.,
of Salem, mariner, to William Browne,
jr., of Salem Sept. 27, 1671,! the grantor
reserved a right of way over the lot from
his house to what is now Essex street.
To free his land from this incumbrance,
Mr. Browne bought of Mr. Veren the
strip of land of eighteen feet in width
above-mentioned and with a strip off the
southern end of his own lot made a way
for Captain Moore out to what is now
Liberty street. This part of the street
was called in the year it was laid out,
1679, the lane or highway that goes to
Captain More's; the lane that goes to
Capt. Richard More's orchard, 1683;
Captain More's lane, 1687 ; and ye lane
that leads down to Captain Osgood's,
1709. The lane was extended to what is
now Walnut street soon after the Long
(or, Union) wharf was built, about 1730.
It was called the lane leading from the
burying point lane to the long wharf in
1747; the highway, 1772; the street,
1773 ; highway leading to the long wharf,
1779 ; a lane leading to the long wharf
called Union wharf, 1783 ; and the street

1654 ; the
1687; the
the harbor
leading from Liberty street to the long
wharf there so called, 1789. In 1795,
that part of the street lying between Wal-
nut and Elm streets was called Neptune
street, and from Elm to Liberty street,
Vine street. In 1853, both sections were
called Charter street.
The present Derby street, the location
of which is shown on the map by the
braces marked " b " was made by filling
the river shortly before 1784. It was
called the highway near the South river
in 1784; Water street, 1795 ; and Derby
street, 1871.
The river was so called in
sea, 1687; the South river,
river or salt water, 1705 ; and
or South river, 1722.
The cove was so called in 1688; and
called the dock in 1 789. It was probably
not filled up and the street extended over
it until about i84o(?).
In the sketches that follow, after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to the
houses and land adjoining and not always
to the whole lot, the design being, after
that date, to give the history of the houses
then standing principally.
William Curtis House. This was the
homestead of Daniel Rumball , the black-
smith, in 1659. Upon condition that
his son-in-law, William Curtice, and wife
Alice, daughter of Mr. Rumball, support
him for life and also pay his burial ex-
penses, he conveyed his estate to Mr. and
Mrs. Curtice March 18, 1681-2-* Mr.
Curtice was also a blacksmith, and lived
here. In consideration of love, Mr. and
Mrs. Curtice conveyed the house, barn
and land to their daughter Elizabeth and
her husband, John Lowther of Salem, Feb.
17, 1704-5.1 Mr. Lowder died in 1717,
leaving his wife Elizabeth, and children,
Jared (or, Garrett) Lowther, Nicholas
Lowder, James Lowder, Abigail Lowder,
Martha Lowder, Daniel Lowder, and
Elizabeth, wife of John Callum of
Salem, mariner. Jared lived in Salem,

being a shipwright ; Daniel lived in Salem,
being a barber; and Nicholas lived in
Salem, being a cordwainer. Daniel bought
out the heirs of his father ; Nicholas, Oct.
22, 1717;* Jared, Dec. i, i7i8;f and
Elizabeth, Nov. 10, 1720.} Daniel Low-
der died in 1722, having devised the es-
tate to his mother, widow Elizabeth Low-
der. She conveyed the house and land
around it to her son-in-law Benjamin
Allen of Salem, joiner, Dec. 13, 1737.
Mr. Allen died before Jan. 20, 1768,
when his heirs made partition of the es-
tate. || In this division, the house is
called " ye old house," and with the land
around it was assigned to Abigail, wife of
Joseph Gilford of Salem, mariner, and
Martha, wife of John Teague of Salem,
hatter. Feb. 20, 1768, Mrs. Gilford and
Mrs. Teague, with their husbands, made
a division of the estate, the house and
land around it being assigned to Mrs.
Gilford.H Mrs. Gilford died in 1797,
having devised the house and land around
it to her son Joseph Gilford of Salem, la-
borer, and her daughter Sarah Gilford of
Salem, singlewoman. In the inventory of
Mrs. Gilford's estate, the house is called
" an old dwelling house." It was gone in
1799, when Joseph and Sarah sold the
land to Benjamin West, who built the
brick block upon the lot.
John Higginson Lot. This was a part
of the lot of Samuel Archer April 27,
1665, when he conveyed it, being then a
part of a larger lot, to James Browne of
Salem, merchant.** Mr. Browne was
murdered in Maryland Nov. 12, 1675.
By an agreement between the widow and
the children of the deceased, dated
Sept. 15, 1694, this land was assigned to
his daughter Elizabeth Browne.ft For
two pounds, Miss Browne conveyed it to
Col. John Higginson, jr., of Salem, mer-

owned it for many years after 1700.
Samuel Phippen House. This lot be-
longed to Samuel Archer of Salem April
27, 1665, when he conveyed that part of
it lying east of the dashes to James
Browne of Salem, merchant.! Mr.
Browne was murdered in Maryland Nov.
12, 1675. By an agreement between his
widow and children this lot, then called
the great garden, was released to his
daughter Elizabeth Browne Sept. 15,
16944 Miss Browne conveyed the land
to Samuel Phippen (or, Phippeny),sr., of
Salem, blockmaker, Oct. 6, i699.
That part of the lot lying westerly of
the dashes remained the property of Sam-
uel Archer until his death in December,
1667, when it was valued at five pounds.
The estate was insolvent, and William
Browne, sr., of Salem, esquire and mer-
chant, the principal creditor, took the
place. Samuel Archer's widow, then Su-
sannah, wife of Richard Hutchinson, re-
leased her dower interest in the lot to Mr.
Browne July 5, 1669.!! He erected a
house upon the lot, and, for eighty pounds,
conveyed the house and this part of the
lot to Mr. Phippen, who owned the re-
mainder of this lot, March 30, i68i.1T
Sept. 27, 1687, Samuel Archer (or, Ar-
chard) of Salem, house-carpenter, eldest
son of the deceased Samuel Archer, re-
leased the land to Mr. Browne.** Samuel
Phippen died Feb. i, 1717-8, at the age
of sixty-eight, intestate. The house and
an old shop and the land were then ap-
praised at eighty pounds. The real estate
was divided among his children May 21,
1733, when it was valued at one hundred
and twelve pounds and ten shillings. The
house and the land around it were as-
signed to his son Nathaniel Phippen of
Salem, cooper. Nathaniel Phippen died

around it, which was described in the in-
ventory of his estate as " One Old houfe
& Land in y e Lane former Sam 1 Phippens
dec d ," and valued at sixty-five pounds,
six shillings and eight pence. In his will
he devised his real estate to his children,
David, Israel, Thomas, Margaret and
Anstes. In the division of the real estate,
Nov. 15, 1759, tm ' s old house and the
land around it were assigned to son
Thomas Phippen, who then lived in the
house.* The executor of the will of
David Phippen of Salem, gentleman, de-
ceased, brought suit against Thomas
Phippen; and, May 13, 1785, this lot
with the old house thereon, was set off to
the estate in satisfaction of the judgment.!
July 9, 1785, the executor of David
Phippen's will, for sixty-four pounds, ten
shillings and six pence, conveyed the lot
and buildings thereon to John Fisk of
Salem, merchant;! and the house was
gone before 1792, when Mr. Fisk sold
the lot. ,-4
Estate of Samuel Very House. This
lot belonged to John Archer as early as
1665. He lived in Salem, and was a
cooper. He gave this lot of land by deed
to his daughter Abigail and her husband
Samuel Very May 9, i685. Mr. Very
built a house upon the lot in which he
lived. He died in 1697, possessed of
the estate. Probably after the death of
his widow Abigail, the remainder of his
real estate was divided, and the house
and land were assigned to his eldest son
Samuel Very Oct. 29, 1716. In 1697,
the house and land were valued at forty
pounds. Samuel Very, jr., lived in Salem,
being a mariner. For eighty pounds, he
conveyed the house and land to David
Montgomery of Salem, mariner, July 20,
1734.1 Mr. Montgomery died in 1737.
The house, barn and land around them
were then valued at one hundred and

twenty-five pounds. His widow and ad-
ministratrix, Sarah Montgomery, for sixty-
five pounds, conveyed the house and
land around it to David Phippen of Salem,
joiner, Jan. 27, 1740.* Deacon Phippen
apparently removed the house soon after-
ward.
Benjamin Archer House. This lot be-
longed to John Archer quite early. He
was a cooper, and died in 1693, intes-
tate. The estate passed to his son Ben-
jamin Archer, who was also a cooper.
Benjamin Archer probably built a house
on the land about 1694. He died about
1705, and the house and lot descended to
his children, namely: John Archer, Ben-
jamin Archer, Sarah, wife of John Swasey,
and Josiah Archer. John Archer of Sa-
lem, cordwainer and fisherman, released
his interest in the house and lot to his
brother Benjamin Archer of Salem, mari-
ner, Dec. 1 8, 1722.1 Josiah and Sarah
probably did the same. The house was
gone a few years later.
John Higginson House. John Archer
owned this house and lot quite early. He
lived in the house, and died in 1693.
That part of the estate lying northerly of
the dashes became the property of John
Higginson of Salem, merchant, about
1696.
On the triangular part of the lot lying
below the dashes Mr. Higginson built a
brewhouse before Nov. 26, 1695, when
the administrator of the estate of John
Archer, for thirty shillings, conveyed the
land to Mr. Higginson.!
Mr. Higginson died March 23, 1719,
and, for sixty pounds, his surviving exec-
utor conveyed the house and entire lot
to Jonathan Archer of Salem, carman,
Feb. i, 172 1-2. Mr. Archer probably
immediately removed the house.
The wharf site and small piece of land
back of it was conveyed by John Archer,
sr., of Salem, cooper, for eight pounds, to

John Higginson Dec. 12, 1684.* For
four pounds, Mr. Higginson conveyed
one-half of it to Lt. Thomas Gardner of
Salem Feb. 14, i686-7.f Messrs. Hig-
ginson and Gardner built a wharf and
warehouse thereon, and, June 6, 1687,
divided the warehouse, Higginson to have
the northern end, and Gardner the south-
ern. Fifty feet of the wharf before the
warehouse was to continue in common
between them.J They, also, laid out a
highway as marked on the map, twenty
feet wide, Nov. 10, 16914 Mr. Higgin-
son died in 1719, and his surviving exec-
utor conveyed his half of the warehouse,
wharf and land to Peter Osgood of Salem,
tanner, Feb. 27, 172 1-2. Thomas Gard-
ner conveyed his interest to Captain Os-
good at about the same time.
Benjamin Allen Houses. That part of
this lot lying north of the dashes early
belonged to William Allen of Manchester,
carpenter, and he conveyed it, with the
house thereon, to John Bridgman of Sa-
lem 9: 4 mo: 1652.1 Mr. Bridgman
died in 1655, leaving a will: "that his
whole eftate fhal bee deliuered into m r
curwins hand and when hee hath fatisfied
him felfe to giu the reft to his daughter."
George Corwin of Salem, merchant, for
eighteen pounds, conveyed the house and
that part of the lot to Thomas Barnes of
Salem, blacksmith, 25 : n : 1658.^ The
title passed from Thomas Barnes to Capt.
Benjamin Allen in or before 1695. Mr.
Barnes' blacksmith shop was conveyed
with the land. Captain Allen died in
1 703, possessed of the old dwelling house,
in which Mr. Habakkuk Gardner then
lived, and the smith's shop and land.
Captain Allen died intestate, and his
daughter, Rachel Allen of Salem, conveyed
the house and that end of the lot to her
brother-in-law Capt. John Richards of

Salem, mariner, Oct. 28, 1709.* Captain
Richards conveyed the house and that
end of the lot to John Phippen of Salem
July 23, lyn.f Mr. Phippen removed
the old house a few years later.
Captain Allen probably erected the
house on the western end of this part of
the lot soon after 1695. He died pos-
sessed of it in 1703 ; and the house and
land, with the bam and woodhouse, came
into the possession of Capt. John Rich-
ards, probably the inheritance of his wife
Mary, daughter of Captain Allen. Cap-
tain Richards removed to Boston, where
he was a mariner, and, with his wife Mary,
for three hundred and seventy pounds,
conveyed the house and land around it to
Joseph Grafton of Salem, mariner, Nov.
30, 1727.$ Captain Grafton died in the
winter of 1766-7, having in his will de-
vised this estate to his three daughters,
Susanna, Mary and Anna, all unmarried.
For four hundred and sixty pounds, they
conveyed the house and land around it
to Joseph Peabody of Salem Sept. 30,
i79o. Mr. Peabody became a merchant,
and for fifty-four hundred dollars, con-
veyed the house, " wherein I now live,"
and the barn and land under and adjoin-
ing them to Dr. Moses Little of Salem
March 7, 1799.!! Doctor Little probably
removed the old house immediately after
his purchase.
That part of the lot lying between the
dashes was in the possession of Samuel
Archer, sr.. before 1658. He died in
1667, and it descended to his son Samuel
Archer. Samuel Archer of Salem, car-
penter, conveyed it to Capt. Benjamin
Allen Aug. 9, 1695 ;f and he died pos-
sessed of it in 1703.
That part of the lot lying south of the
dashes was also early in the possession of
Samuel Archer (or, Archard) who died in
1667. William Browne, sr., of Salem,

deceased, and he apparently took the
land for his debt. Susannah, the widow
of Mr. Archer, married, secondly, Richard
Hutchinson, and she conveyed her dower
interest in the premises to Mr. Browne
July 5, 1669.* Mr. Browne conveyed
the land to Joseph Phippen of Salem,
fisherman, Dec. 28, 1674.! Mr. Phippen
conveyed it to his brothers, David Phip-
pen and Samuel Phippen, both of Salem,
Jan. 15, 1694-54 David Phippen and
Samuel Phippen conveyed it to Capt.
Benjamin Allen Aug. 5, 1695 ; and Cap-
tain Allen died possessed of it in 1703.
Samuel Archer Lot. Samuel Archer,
sr., of Salem, owned this lot in 1658 ; and
he died possessed of the lot and the
house thereon in 1667. That part of the
lot lying north of the dashes descended
to his son Samuel Archer, who owned it
until after 1700.
That part of the lot lying south of the
dashes and the house were taken by
William Browne, sr., of Salem, merchant,
in satisfaction apparently of his claim
against the estate of Samuel Archer, sr.,
being the largest creditor ; and Susannah,
widow of Mr. Archer, and then wife of
Richard Hutchinson, conveyed her dower
interest in this part of his estate to Mr.
Browne July 5, 1669.* Mr. Browne con-
veyed the house and land around it to
Joseph Phippen of Salem, fisherman, Dec.
28, 1674;! and Mr. Phippen conveyed
the estate to his brothers David Phippen
and Samuel Phippen, both of Salem, Jan.

Phippen, for fifty pounds, conveyed the
house and this part of the lot to Capt.
Benjamin Allen of Salem Aug. 5, 1695.
Captain Allen removed the house the
same year.

at one hundred pounds. It descended to
his son Miles (or Michael) Ward, who
was a chairmaker. The latter conveyed
the house, barn and land, "where I now
dwell," to his son Ebenezer Ward of Sa-
lem, joiner, March 7, 1755.* The father
died in 1764, having continued to live in
the house, and Ebenezer probably re-
moved the house soon afterwards.
Peter Osgood House. That part of this
lot lying within the dashes at the north-
westerly corner was the property of Wil-
liam Chichester in 1654 ; and Henry Bar-
tholomew of Salem conveyed it to Richard
More of Salem July n, 1664.! Mr.
More was a mariner, and conveyed the
land to William Browne, esq., and Mr.
Benjamin Browne, both of Salem, May
14, 1688 ;J and they conveyed it to Peter
Osgood of Salem, tanner, May i, 1696.
The remainder of the lot was the
homestead of Capt. Richard More in
1664, and there his house stood. He
mortgaged a little strip of land next to
the "primm" hedge, extending from his
house to the South river, including his out-
kitchen and leanto, to Philip Cromwell of
Salem, slaughterer, Dec. 17, 1687 ;|| and
Captain More conveyed the fee in the
same property to Mr. Cromwell May 10,
i69o.1[ The bound of the northeast cor-
ner of the lot conveyed was a plum tree ;
and a right of way was granted through
Captain More's orchard to the lane lead-
ing down to Richard Friend's house. Mr.
Cromwell died, and his executor conveyed
the lot to William Browne and Benjamin
Browne, the owners of the land adjoining,
April 20, 1696.** Captain More conveyed
the western or old part of his dwelling
house and the land within the dashes,
except the strip mortgaged to Mr. Crom-
well, to William Browne, esq., and Mr.
Benjamin Browne, both of Salem, May 14,

1688;* and the two Brownes conveyed
the same estate to Mr. Osgood May i,
16964
The wharf at the southern corner of
the lot was built by Richard More, sr.,
before Oct. 29, 1687, when he conveyed
the wharf and flats it was built on, for
nine pounds, to John Higgiuson, jr., of
Salem, merchant. J The deed also con-
veyed the way for cart and on foot that
already existed from Captain More's gate
to the wharf. Mr. Higginson died in
1719, and his surviving executor con-
veyed the property to Mr. Osgood Feb.
26, 1721-2.
Captain More conveyed the easterly
part of the house, called by the name of
new room or ye long room, barn and land
to the eastward lying between the dashes
to his son Richard More, jr., July 10,
1688. || Probably the land conveyed by
this deed included the larger portion of
the lot lying northerly of the dashes.
Richard More, jr., who was, also, a mari-
ner and lived here, conveyed this part of
the house and the barn and lot to Mr.
Osgood May i, 1690.^
That part of the lot lying at the north-
easterly corner of the premises was early
owned by Capt. Richard More, and he
apparently conveyed the southern part of
it to his son Richard More, jr., before
1688. Both father and son join in a
deed of this part of the lot to Mr. Os-
good July 5, 1688.**
Thus Captain More obtained possession
of the entire lot and buildings. He owned
the estate for many years after 1700, and
the house was probably removed soon
after that date.
Richard Friend House. William Chi-
chester owned this lot in 1654; and
Henry Bartholomew of Salem conveyed
it to Richard More, sr., of Salem July

ii, 1664.* Mr. More's son-in-law Sam-
uel Dutch of Salem, husband of his daugh-
ter Susannah, built a house upon the lot
before June 4, 1684, when Mr. More
conveyed the land to Mr. Dutch and his
issue by said Susannah, f including a right
of way to the lane, as marked on the map.
Mr. Dutch was a mariner, and died in
1694, possessed of the house and lot,
which descended to his children. The
land was then valued at twenty pounds,
and the house at ten pounds.
Richard Friend owned the house and
lot in 1705, and lived there. He died in
1706, when the house and land were ap-
praised at thirty-one pounds. His widow
and administratrix, Martha Friend of An-
dover, for ihirty-four pounds, conveyed
the house and land to Capt. Peter Os-
good of Salem, tanner, Nov. 15, 17074
The house was removed probably soon
afterward by Captain Osgood.
That part of the lot lying easterly of
the dashes, Mr. Dutch conveyed to John
Conant of Marblehead, house-carpenter,
Nov. 23, 1692^ but the title was soon
again in Mr. Dutch.
Eleazer Keazer House. This lot be-
longed to Major William Hathorne of
Salem in 1654. He conveyed the lot,
except the two little lots shown by the
dashes on the map, to George Keazer of
Lynn, tanner, 28: 18: 1654. || There
was at that time a cellar on the lot, within
the six^dashes, " over the which a ware-
house is to be erected." The little lots
lying within the dashes Major Hathorne
conveyed to his son Eleazer Hathorne of
Salem, merchant, Dec. 28, 1664.^ There
was then " an old seller " upon the lot,
lying within the six dashes, and George
Keazer built a house upon it before Oct.
7, 1670, when Eleazer Hathorne conveyed
the lot to him.** For eight pounds and

ten shillings, Mr. Hathorne undertook
to convey the smaller of the two lots to
his wife Abigail, who was daughter of
Capt George Corwin of Salem, March 20,
1671 ;* and he conveyed it to Mr. Keazer
Nov. 12, 16724 Thus Mr. Keazer be-
came the owner of the entire lot. He
lived in this house, and died in 1690^
having devised the estate to his eldest
son Eleazer Keazer. The house was-
probably gone soon after 1700, when.
Eleazer Keazer owned the land.
Eleazer Keazer House. This lot be-
longed to Maj. William Hathorne, and he-
conveved it to George Keazer of Lynn
28 : 8 : 16544 Mr. Keazer removed to
Salem, where he was a tanner ; and died
possessed of the land in 1690, having in
his will devised it, with a barn thereon, to
his son John Keazer of HaverhilL John;
Keazer was massacred at Haverhill by the
Indians March 15, 1696-7. In the di-
vision of his real estate this lot was as-
signed to his son Eleazer Keazer.. Ap-
parently, Eleazer had conveyed the lot to
his uncle Eleazer of Salem about 1699,,
when the latter probably had built a house j
thereon. How long the house stood is >
unknown.
Sarah Keazer Lot. This lot belonged'!
to Maj. William Hathorne who conveyed 1
it to George Keazer of Lynn 28: 8-:
16544 Mr. Keazer removed to Salem,
where he was a tanner; and died possessed!
of the land in 1690, having devised if,,,
with the barn thereon, to his son John;
Keazer. John Keazer removed to Haver-
hill, where he and his son George were
massacred by the Indians March 15,
1696-7. In the division of. his real es-
tate, this lot was assigned to his daughter
Sarah Keazer, who continued, to own > it
until 1705.
Eleazer Keazer House. This lot early
belonged to William Hathorne, ,who con-

where he was a tanner; and March 16,
1677-8, deeded this lot to his daughter
Mary and her husband Thomas Mould
and the heirs of her body.* Mr. Mould
built a house upon the land , and in some
way the title to the land was again in Mr.
Keazer before his death, in 1690. In the
division of Mr. Keazer's estate, the lot
was assigned to Capt. Eleazer Keazer of
Salem, tanner, who died possessed of it
in 1721. The house, however, continued
to belong to Mr. Mould until his decease,
before Feb. 13, 1699, when administra-
tion was granted upon his estate. The
house was then appraised at fifteen pounds
and ten shillings. There was also a small
barn, " butting on the burying place lane,"
which was valued at four pounds and ten
shillings. The house was bought appar-
ently of the estate of Mr. Mould by
Eleazer Keazer, who, for sixty-five pounds,
conveyed the house and land around it to
Capt. Eleazer Moses of Salem, mariner,
Oct. 15, 1709.1 Captain Moses died in
1718, and the house and lot came into the
possession of his son Eleazer. The house
probably was removed a few years later.
William Browne House. This lot be-
longed to Peter Palfrey of Salem, planter,
very early. He removed to Reading, and
conveyed the land to John Porter of
Salem, yeoman, Dec. 10, 16534 Mr.
Porter's son, Joseph Porter, married Anna,
daughter of Maj. William Hathorne of
Salem, Jan. 27, 1664-5. Twenty-five
days previously the parents conveyed the
marriage portions to their children. Mr.
Porter conveyed this lot and other land
to his son. Joseph Porter lived in Salem,
and conveyed the land to Hi! Hard Veren,
jr., of Salem, merchant, Sept. 17, 1678.1
Mr. Veren, for fifteen pounds, conveyed
the lot to his father, Hilliard Veren, sr.,
of Salem, Nov. 29, 1679.! For twenty-

Hodge erected a house upon the lot, and,
for one hundred and sixty pounds, he
conveyed the house and land to William
Browne, esq., of Salem Jan. 3, 1682-3. f
The estate belonged to Mr. Browne in
1710, and the house was standing some
years thereafter.
Walter Price House. This lot belonged
to Peter Palfrey of Salem, planter, very
early. He removed to Reading, and
conveyed the land to John Porter of Sa-
lem, yeoman, Dec. 10, 16534 Mr. Por-
ter's son, Joseph Porter, married Anna,
daughter of Maj. William Hathorne of
Salem, Jan. 27, 1664-5. Twenty-five
days previously the parents conveyed the
marriage portions of their children to
them. Mr. Porter conveyed this lot to
his son. Joseph Porter lived in Salem,
and conveyed the land to Hilliard Veren,
jr., of Salem Sept. 17, 1678.!! Mr. Veren
built a house upon the lot, and died pos-
sessed of the estate in 1680. The house
then had in it a parlor, hall, shop,
leanto and garret chambers. The estate
was then valued at two hundred and forty
pounds. In his will, he devised the es-
tate to his wife Hannah.^" They were
apparently childless. She died in the
autumn of 1683, having devised the es-
tate to her brother John Price of Salem.
Captain Price died in 1691, and the es-
tate was then appraised at two hundred
and fifty pounds. It descended to his
only child, Walter Price of Salem, esquire
and merchant. He died in March, 1731,
possessed of the estate. For one hun-
dred and fifty pounds, Mr. Price's widow
and executrix conveyed the house in
which she then lived, and the lot of land

tumn of 1751, possessed of the house and
lot. In his will, he devised two undivided
thirds of his real estate to his son Walter
and the other third to his wife Sarah. The
house, barn and land were then appraised

Price Bartlett of Salem, auctioneer, came
into the possession of the entire estate at
the death of his mother, and he removed
the old house between 1793 and 1801.
William Browne House.\ This land,
with a house thereon, belonged to John
Home of Salem 13 : 7 : 1655, when, for
twenty- four pounds, he conveyed the
same to Richard Moore of Salem. J The
house was gone Sept. 27, 1671, when
Richard Moore, sr., of Salem, mariner, for
thirty pounds, conveyed the lot to William

THE OLD OX-TEAM.
BY AUGUSTUS WIGHT BOMBERGER.
Full fifty years have passed, and yet
Amid the city's noise and fret,
With wistful feelings of regret
I do remember still
The quiet farm I used to love,
Its sunlit fields so sweet to rove,
And, best of all, the days I drove
Its old ox-team to mill.
Ah, those were happy days, I ween :
And fresh and beautiful and green,
And all the long, long space between
Seems nothing to my heart ;
Seems nothing now and fades away,
And, lo, a barefoot boy and gay,
And lord of all my eyes survey,
I mount that lumbering cart !
Yes, slow and sleepily we went,
And yet, how careless and content !
Oh, would those hours were still unspent.
And this loud, restless mart,
Which grows so wearisome and sad,
Were dream itself and I the lad
I used to be, supremely glad,
Within that old ox-cart !

ROWLEY IN ENGLAND.
BY OSCAR FAY ADAMS.
Population: 512 (1891). Acreage: 6,428.
About seven miles from Hull. Parish church, St.
Peter; register from 1565; living, a rectory.
Chapels: Chapel-of-ease; Wesleyan chapel.
Parish council composed of eleven members. The
manor belongs to the Harrison-Broadley family.
According to Cotton Mather's " Mag-
nalia " the Massachusetts Rowley was so
named by its first minister, the Reverend
Ezekiel Rogers, a native of Wethersfield,
in Essex, "who called the town Rowley
and continued in it about the same num-
ber of years that he had spent in that
Rowley whence he came on the other
side of the Atlantick ocean.''
"That Rowley," whence the Reverend
Ezekiel departed in 1638 to his new
charge over seas, is a very extensive
parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire
about one hundred and seventy miles from
London. Within its borders are the vari-
ous hamlets of Bentley, Hunsley, Rib-
blingham, Risby, Rowley and Little
Weighton. The hamlet of Rowley is
some five miles north of Brough station
on the Hull and Selby division of the
North Eastern system, but a much nearer
station is that at Little Weighton (locally
wee-tn) , on the Hull and Barnsley rail-
way. Approaching from the direction of
Brough the highway, after passing through
the village of Elloughton, presently as-
cends the chalk wolds whence opens an
extended prospect across the Humber
into Lincolnshire. A stretch of upland
next crossed the road descends one slope
only to ascend a second on which is the
hamlejt of Ribblingham with its four
houses, and a mile beyond these is the
hamlet of Rowley. A footpath that
leaves the main road to cross a wide pas-
ture, that is almost like a wooded park in
places, furnishes the most direct access to
the object of the journey, and soon brings
one before a large rectory in the midst of
lawns and gardens, and immediately ad-
joining these on the west is seen the di-
minutive church of Saint Peter.
And church and rectory set midmost
of the spacious glebe are all there is of
Rowley hamlet. By day and in the sum-
mer sunshine it is indeed a pleasant spot,
this fair green pasture encircled by ances-
tral trees and with cattle picturesquely
distributed, one might almost say posed,
about the expanse, but at night and in
winter, it can hardly fail of being some-
what lonely.
The church, which will seat only one
hundred and fifty persons, consists of a
nave of three bays, chancel, low western
pinnacled tower and south porch. It is
of brick faced with cement and is in great
part in the transitional Norman style.
The tower, which has but one bell, opens
from the nave through a low arch in char-
acter scarcely more than a doorway, and
from the south side of the chancel a low
wide arch, with rosettes in the soffit, af-
fords entrance into the mortuary chapel
of the Elleker family that now serves as
a robing room.
In the hamlet of Bentley is the small
Chapel-of-ease, and in Little Weighton,
which contains some thirty houses and is
the largest of all the hamlets, is a Wes-
leyan chapel, but in the whole wide parish
no other churches will be discovered.
From Rowley church, a pleasant path
extends across the glebe to the high road
leading to Little Weighton, half a mile
further, and here the train for Hull may
be taken. Little Weighton cannot be
honestly characterized as an attractive
village but as a place of residence it is
distinctly preferable to the ugly village of
Walkington, three miles to the northeast,
with its parish church situated in the
midst of an unkempt, neglected church-
yard.
HON. LEONARD WHITE.

There is little in the way of scenery to
be noted in Rowley parish but the
traveler will find the seven-mile walk to
Beverley a pleasant one, and he will be
likely to note that in the East Riding, as
in Massachusetts, Essex, Beverley and
Rowley are in neighborly proximity. Save
once in the state of Iowa the name of
Rowley finds echo only in New England.
HON. LEONARD WHITE.
Hon. Leonard White of Haverhill,
whose portait appears as the frontispiece
of this number of The Antiquarian, was
bom in Haverhill May 3, 176 7, being son
of Hon. John and Sarah (Le Barren)
White. The father graduated at Harvard
college in 1751 ; was a merchant, and a
member of the provincial congress in
1775.
Leonard White was also educated at
Harvard, graduating in 1787. He was
the patron of Josiah Quincy while in col-
lege. With Mr. White, John Quincy
Adams was a student of Rev. John Shaw of
Haverhill, and together, in the same class,
they pursued their college course. Rev.
Peter Eaton, afterward pastor of the
Second church in Boxford for about half
a century, was also in the same class.
Mr. White lived in Haverhill, and mar-
ried, first, Mary, daughter of Hon. Tris-
tram Dalton of Newburyport Aug. 21,
1794. Her father was a member of the
first senate of the United States, and dur-
ing the years Mr. Dalton was in Washing-
ton, Miss Dalton was on very friendly
terms with the president's family, visiting
Mrs. Washington for weeks at a time.
Mr. White served on the school commit-
tee ; was town clerk and treasurer of Hav-
erhill, 1804-1810, 1815, 1818, 1821-1831,
1838 and 1839; and represented the
town in the legislature in 1809. From
1811 to 1813 he was a member of con-
gress.
The Merrimack Bank in Haverhill was
established soon afterward, and he was
chosen its first cashier, holding the office
for a quarter of a century, until the in-
firmities of age compelled its relinquish-
ment.
Though having all the advantages of
good birth, education and the highest
society, he was neither brilliant nor am-
bitious. He was a gentleman of the old
school, modest, unassuming, and of a
kindly and cheerful disposition. He was
eminently faithful, punctual and honest in
the discharge of every duty that came to
him.
He was a religious man, and a member
of the Baptist church, believing most
firmly and happily and living in the be-
nign light of gospel truth.
Mrs. White died June 18, 1839, at the
age of sixty-eight, after they had lived to-
gether for about forty-five years. Three
years and three days later, he married
secondly, Mrs. Hannah Cummings.
For about two years before his death
he had repeated attacks of paralysis, and
he died, Oct. 10, 1849, at the age of
eighty-two, as quietly and as undisturbed
as an infant going to sleep. He was the
survivor of his class in college.
Mr. White's children were, Mary Ann,
who married David How, jr., a merchant
of Haverhill, and afterwards of New
York ; Leonard D. ; Sarah D. ; Katherine ;
George ; Frederick, who lived in New
York; Robert Hooper, who lived in New
York ; Katherine ; Edward, who lived first
in New York city and subsequently at
Dalton, Ga.; and John L., who lived in
New York. Several of the children died
young.

ANSWERS.
331. In this query, John Patch is
stated to have come from England with
two brothers and settled Ipswich. He
was born in 1721 and died in 1799.
There must be a mistake in these state-
ments, as the Patch family was in Ipswich
in the preceding century. Ed.
465. Elizabeth Waite, daughter of
Aaron and Elizabeth Waite of Ipswich,
was left fatherless when a child, under
fourteen years of age. Her father was
son of Capt. Samuel and Ruth Waite.
Captain Waite was a weaver, and lived
in Ipswich. His wife Ruth was living in
1750. His will, dated Jan. 26, 1750, was
proved June n, 1756. He had two sons,
Samuel and Aaron, and a daughter, Ruth
Lakeman, all living in 1750. Aaron died
before Dec. 15, 1761, leaving widow
Elizabeth and children, Elizabeth, Elias

ANDOVER IN ENGLAND.
BY OSCAR FAY ADAMS.

don (Waterloo terminus of South Western railway).

1580: living, a vicarage. Other churches and

Wesleyan; Baptist. Schools: Grammar; Nation-
al; British. 2 banks. Market day: Friday. Cat-
tle market on Monday; wool fair, end of June;

Andover is not a place with any very
decided claims to be accounted pictur-
esque ; it is in effect nothing more than
a busy little market town, the centre of an
agricultural district. Still there are points
of view whence Andover, at the ford of
the Ann or Ande (hence Andover), is
well worth looking at, and as the train
leaves Andover junction on the London
and South Western railway and goes
swinging around the long curve on the
Southampton line to Andover Town sta-
tion, the traveller can easily behold one
of them. The church tower in the higher
part of the picture, with long lines of
houses falling away from it to north and
south, the river Anton flowing sluggishly
between the railway and the town such
a scene, in the judgment of at least one
observer, merits the tribute of something
more than a passing glance.
It is a very ancient borough indeed
that stretches along the wooded valley of
the Anton, and spreads itself over the
hillsides, the principal town in the north-
ern part of Hampshire, and a place of
some little commercial importance. It
is situated on the ancient Roman road
from Salisbury to Gilchester, some
eighteen miles west from Basingstoke and
about as far eastward from Salisbury, and
in Saxon days was a royal residence, and
the scene of more than one meetlngof the
Witenagemot. Olaf Tryggvason was en-
tertained at Andover in 988 by Ethelred
who induced his Norwegian guest to be
baptized and confirmed by Alphege, the
archbishop of Canterbury, and in token
of his change of heart Olaf vowed never
to visit England as an enemy. In the
nineteen doleful years of King Stephen,
Andover suffered much, and was burned
in 1141. In the eighteenth century the
place was frequently heard of in elec-
tioneering struggles, its inhabitants shar-
ing with those of its neighbour Stock-
bridge, the dubious reputation of being
not beyond the influence of a bribe where
votes were concerned.
" Sir Francis Blake Delaval," writes a
Quarterly Reviewer, " of the fine old Nor-
man Delavals, the rake and humorist of
about a century ago, was one time can-
vassing Andover. There was a voter
there, as far as every appearance went,
insensible to every temptation. Money,
wine, place, flattery, had no attractions
for the stoic. Sir Francis puzzled himself
in endeavouring to discover the man's
weak point. At last he found it out.
The man had never seen a fire-eater and
doubted if there existed a class endowed
with that remarkable power. Off went
Delaval to London and he returned with
Angelo in a postchaise. Angelo exerted
all his genius. Fire poured from his
mouth and nostrils fire which melted
that iron nature and sent it off cheerfully
to poll for Delaval."
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
Three fairly broad and compactly built
streets constitute the larger portion of
Andover. One of these, in which is the
spacious inn of The White Hart, extends
eastward from the railway station across
the Anton to the long as well as broad
market place, an area lined on three of
its sides with shops, inns, a bank or two,
and lesser establishments. At its upper,
or northern end, stands the town hall,
erected in 1825, in the classical style
then popular ; a large stone structure with
an open areaded lower story, and above
this a hall seating three hundred people,
a council chamber and other rooms. The
front of the building displays the town
clock. Among the arches of the ground
story a corn market is held on Friday,
and on Mondays a cattle market is in
progress at the Masons Arms in Winches-
ter street. At the left of the town hall a
street diverges to the eastward, while at
the right the High street proceeds leisure-
ly up the hill toward the parish church.
In this thoroughfare are to be seen more
shops and a rather imposing Baptist chap-
el of stone and white brick. At the crest
of the hill the street appears to pause and
then wanders slowly down the northern
slope toward the junction station a half-
mile distant. Just where it lingers, as it
were, the church may be seen within its
spacious churchyard that is reached by a
flight of steps from the roadway.
It is a modern stone building in the
First Pointed style, with tall western tow-
er, nave, aisles, transepts and apsidal east
end. The interior displays an elaborate
scheme of color decoration, is lavishly
adorned with carvings and very distinctly
conveys the impression that it must have
cost a lot of money. And so it did, for
Dr. William Stanley Goddard, a former
headmaster of Winchester college, and
long the vicar of Andover, spent in 1848
the sum of thirty thousand pounds in
building this church of Saint Mary. It
is commodious and apparently comfort-
able, but it is by no means an admirable
specimen of Victorian Gothic, although
the three-sided apse is rather an effective
exterior feature, as the illustration of
the southern side of the church (see front-
ispiece), serves to show. The writer, re-
calling engravings of the church destroyed
to make room for the present one, is
hardly disposed to commend without re-
serve the church building zeal of the Rev.
William Goddard.
Two curious old tombs taken from the
ancient church are preserved in the mod-
ern one, the first displaying kneeling effi-
gies of a man and a woman on opposite
sides, the second dated 1611, showing a
seated male effigy on the left, and on the
right seven other figures kneeling. The
late and much enriched Norman doorway
from the old church, placed between two
houses in the High street, now forms an
entrance to the churchyard. The tower
of Saint Mary's, containing a clock and
peal of eight bells, rises high above
the trees about it and may be seen for
many miles. A priory attached to the
abbey of Saint Florence at Samur, to
which the Andover establishment once be-
longed ere alien priories were done away
with in the reign of Henry the Fifth, was
built here by the Conqueror, and a bit of
ivy-clad wall in the churchyard still indi-
cates its position.
Crossing the churchyard by one of its
broad, shaded paths one comes to East
street in which are several dignified resi-
dences, and the Congregational church,
built in 1700, but with an organization
reaching back to 1662. It was enlarged
in 1879, and will seat about six hundred
persons. The street extends for some
considerable distance to the northeast of
the parish church, losing caste rapidly as
it proceeds, for the thatched cottages that
thickly line its course are plainly the
homes of the poor. Some of the poorest,
indeed, are sheltered in Marlborough
street, where, in 1686, John Pullen, esq.,
founded an almshouse for six poor men.
Another similar shelter for four poor
women is situated in the Common Acre.
Four would appear to be a favorite num-

ber with Andover benefactors, since the
town has two more almshouses intended
for four women each.
Perhaps a more practical charity is the
Cottage Hospital in the Junction Road.
It was built in 1876 and receives forty or
more patients yearly, some of whom come
no doubt from the Waterloo foundry at
the foot of Bury hill. In New street is
the endowed Grammar school founded so
long ago as 1569, and attended by one
hundred boys. Like many another small
English town, and, alas ! very zmlike
many a small New England town, Ando-
ver possesses public swimming baths, for
in Old England the public bath precedes
the public library.
Inns and public houses are pretty gen-
erally distributed throughout the town.
Beside the more pretentious hostelries of
the White Hart, and the Star and Garter,
the thirsty man might wander on to The
Chequers, The Catherine Wheel, The New
Inn, or The Waterloo. Or, if none of
these proved to his mind he might enter
The Globe or The Wellington, patronize
the King's Head or be received into the
embrace of The Foresters' or the Masons'
Arms. Yet, as such things go, however,
the number of public houses in Andover,
in spite of its several breweries, is rather
less than is sometimes found in places of
the same size, though more than one
would expect to perceive flourishing in
the shade of Phillips Academy or the
Theological Seminary in the town over
seas on the banks of the Shawshine
To the archaeologist the vicinity of An-
dover is very interesting, for all about are
"Grey downs with Danish barrows,"
not to mention the Roman camp on Bury
hill two miles southwest, and the large
camp still nearer, at Folksbury. From
the former locality a fine view of the town
may be had, and under the hill is Abbot's
Ann, with its brick church built in 1716,
by the founder of the Chatham family,
Governor Pitt. Another nearby spot of-
fering extended prospects is the recrea-
tion ground called The Lady's Mile
Within the limits of the municipal bor-
ough are the hamlets of Hatherden, Wild-
hern, Smannell or Swanhill, Little Lon-
don, Woodhouse, East Anton and Charl-
ton. There is a Baptist chapel at Sman-
nell, and a Primitive Methodist one at
Charlton. Andover was incorporated un-
der King John and sent two members to
parliament under Edward first and Ed-
ward second and from the twenty-seventh
year of Elizabeth's reign until 1867. It
then sent but one until 1885, when its
representation was merged in that of the
county.
It was for this Hampshire borough that
the Massachusetts Andover was named,
the English locality having been the home
of some of the principal personages in
the new settlement. The town of An-
dover, New Hampshire, bore the name
of New Breton till 1779, an d was then
renamed as a compliment, in all prob-
ability, to the Massachusetts town. The
three other New England Andovers, in
Maine, Vermont and Connecticut, very
possibly trace their names to the same
source. Beyond New England the name
occurs in the states of Illinois, Kansas,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York and
Ohio.

BRADSTREET GENEALOGY.
Gov. SIMON BRADSTREET 1 ,* baptized at
Horbling parish, Lincolnshire, England,
March 18, 1603-4. He went to Emman-
uel college a year, and at the age of six-
teen was tutor or governor of young Lord
Rich, son of the earl of Warwick. On
the death of his father, Simon entered the
service of the earl of Lincoln as assistant
of steward Thomas Dudley, at Sempring-
ham, where he staid eight years. In 1628,
he married Thomas Dudley's daughter
Ann. Later he was steward for the dow-
ager countess of Warwick. Concluding to
remove to America, he joined the Winthrop
company, and was chosen an assistant
before they left England. He was secre-
tary of the Massachusetts Bay colony
from his arrival in America, in 1630, to
1643; assistant, 1630-1678; deputy
governor, 1678, 1679; governor, 1679-
1686, 1689-1692. He lived in Salem,
1630, 1631; Cambridge, 1631-1638;
Ipswich, 1639-1643; Andover, 1644-
1673; Boston, 1674-1690; and Salem,
1695-1697. His wife Ann died in An-
dover Sept. 1 6, 1672, aged sixty. She
was the first American poetess. He mar-
ried, second, Ann (Downing), widow of
Capt. Joseph Gardner of Salem, in
1676; the antenuptial agreement being
dated May 7, 1676. Governor Bradstreet
died in Salem March 27, 1697, at the age
of ninety-four, being called " the nestor
of New England." His second wife sur-
vived him, being known as " Madam
Bradstreet/' and died in Salem April 19,
1713, aged seventy-nine. See sketch of
Governor Bradstreet in The Antiquarian,
volume II, page 159.
*It is stated on good authority that Governor
Bradstreet was a son of Rev. Simon Bradstreet,
vicar of Horbling, Lincolnshire, England. The
children of the father were baptized at Horbling,
probably by himself, as follows : Samuel, Sept.
19, 1602; Simon, March 18, 1604; Mercy, March
9, 1606; John, Feb. 8, 1607. Rev. Simon Brad-
street, the father, was a fellow of Emmanuel col-
lege, bred as a puritan, and joined the Non-con-
formist party. He died there Feb. 9, 1621, and
his wife Margaret made her will in 1631,
probably dying soon afterward.

lane going to burying point, 1689; ye
burying place lane, 1750; burying point
lane, 1757 ; and Liberty street in 1795.
Essex street was an original highway.
It was called ye street that comes from
the neck direct to the meeting house in
Salem in 1655 ; the street that goes
straight to ye meeting house, 1667; ye
main street, 1683 ; the main street of
Salem, 1723 ; and Essex street in 1824.
That part of Central street which lies
between Essex and Charter streets was an
original highway to the water; and was
called ye street in 1667 ; highway, 1689 ;
ye highway which leads down to Colonel
Browne's wharf, 1722 ; Ingalls* lane lead-
ing from the main street to ye South river
1760; Ingalls' lane, 1763; a street lead-
ing from the Sun tavern so called which
is in the main street to the South river,
1785 ; Market street, 1795 ; and Central
street in 1835. That part of the street
lying between Charter street and the
point of land was one of the original ways
reserved along the water front in the ori-
ginal lay out of the settlement, and was
the way to Burying point in the earliest
days. When the grants of the lots lying
to the south of the lot of Hannah Sanders
were made in 1661 a way ten feet wide
was expressly reserved. This part was
called a highway in 1698 ; a street or way
leading to the wharves of William Gray,
Ashby, and others, 1714; away, 1760;
a way leading ^to the South river, 1787 ;
the street leading from the Sun tavern to
the South river, 1792 ; Fish street, ^94 ;
Derby street, 1873; and Central street in
1880.
Derby street was the way reserved
along the water in the first settlement of
the town ; and when the grants of the lots
there were made in 1661 a way ten feet
wide was reserved expressly. This was
called a highway in 1761 ; a town way or
highway, 1763; Water street, 1810; and
Derby street about 1856.
Charter street runs where the dotted
lines are shown on the map between the
braces marked "a". This was laid out

just before April 4, 1767, when it was
called a new town way. It was called a
highway in 1784; the street leading by
the burying point so called, 1787; and
Charter street in 1794.
The South river was so called in 1636 ;
Salem river, 1686; ye river, 1687; ye
salt water, 1695 ; and that part near the
western end of Charter street was called
ye cove in 1749.
In the sketches that follow after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to the
houses and land under and adjoining and
not always to the whole lot, the design
being, after that date, to give the history
of the houses then standing principally.
Ye Burying Point. That part of the
burial ground lying south and west of the
dashes, being the largest section of the
burying ground as marked on the map,
was the original burying point, and before
the grants of the land adjoining on the
south and west to the water were made
in 1 66 1, it extended to the river on those
sides. On this part, at a town meeting
held 14: 6: 1637, John Home was alowed
a pece of grownd for a winde mill vpon
or nere the buriall place.' 7 25:1: 1639,
it was voted that Mr. Home "desist from
his inclosure in y e buryall place : and y fc
y e town shall pay for a quarter of an acre
when he hath bought y e same, except the
Towne when they shall haue changed the
buryall place shall alow him a portion of
the same."* This was called the windmill
field in 1652. 23 : 10: 1661, the select-
men were ordered by the town to "grant
liberty for shops to be builded below ye
bank at the buring pt."*
In connection with the grants laid out
by the selectmen 6 : i mo : 1661 , it was
ordered by the selectmen "that all the
bigger lotts that are for ware houfes fhall

That section of the burial place lying
west and north of the dashes, as shown on
the map, was undoubtedly purchased of
Henry Bartholmew as it was voted by
the town 9: i mo: 1668-9.
For twenty pounds, Edward Grove con-
veyed to the town for an enlargement of
the cemetery the strip of land lying east-
erly of the dashes 26 : 9 : 1669, in ac-
cordance with a vote passed by the town
9: i mo: 1668-9: "Bought of Edward
Grove all that pcell of land of his lying

eration of twenty pounds in hand paid.f
This strip of land early belonged to John
Friend of Salem, carpenter, and he con-
veyed it to Edward Prescott of London,
merchant, July 15, 1652.]: Capt. Rich-
ard Moore of Salem, mariner, brought suit
against Mr. Prescott in 1658, judgment
was obtained and execution sued out
thereon. In satisfaction of the judgment,
this lot was assigned to Captain Moore,
who conveyed it to Edward Grove of
Salem, sailmaker, Jan. 17, i667.
That part of the cemetery bounding
on Liberty street was purchased of Sam-
uel Pickman for an entrance to the burial
place from Liberty street, 26 : 6 : 1669 :

The cemetery was again enlarged im-
mediately following the laying out of
Charter street in 1 767. The town bought,
June 13, 1767, of William Lander of
Salem, chairmaker, the southern end of
the lot marked " John Pilgrim " on the
map,t and of Joseph Mottey of Salem,
mariner, the eastern two-thirds of the
southern end of the lot marked " Estate
of Timothy Lindall,"$ being those parts
of the lots lying between the new highway
(Charter street) and the burial place.
This ancient burial place, used as early
as 1637, was called ye burying place in
1652 ; ye common or burying place, 1667 ;
the common burying place, 1669; ye
burying point, 1679; the point burying
place, 1794; the burying ground, 1807;

William Hirst Lot. There was a dwell-
ing house and shop upon this lot of land
in 1651; and the land was owned by
Alexander Field of Salem, cordwinder, as
early as 1649. Mr. Field probably lived
in this house ; and, for forty-five pounds,
conveyed the house and land to William
Venus 3 : 12 mo: i65i.f Mr. Venus

though no deed passed. Mr. Grove con-
veyed the house and lot, for two hundred
and ten pounds, to William Hirst of Sa-
lem, merchant, March 17, 1684-5.1! Capt.
Corwin had died that winter, without
executing a deed of the premises ; and
his administrator gave a deed of the es-
tate to Mr. Grove and his heirs and
assigns April 30, 1685.^ The house was
burned down in the great fire in 1698.
Mr. Hirst continued to own the land until

when, for twenty pounds, he conveyed the
entire lot of two acres to Robert Brett of
Salem.* This part of the lot came into
the possession of Henry Bartholmew of
Salem, merchant ; and he removed to
Boston. In consideration of love, he
conveyed it to his son-in-law, John Pil-
grim of Salem, merchant, and his wife
Elizabeth, Aug. 26, i68i.t Major Pil-
grim erected upon the lot a dwelling
house in which he lived until it was
burned down in the great fire of 1698.
He retained the land but a short time
after the fire.
Estate of Timothy Lindall Houses.
That part of this lot lying easterly of the
dashes was the western part of the two-
acre lot that belonged to a Mr. Webb of
London, England. It came into the
ownership of William Lord of Salem, cut-
ler, before 6 : 6 : 1655, when, for twenty
pounds, he conveyed the entire lot of
two acres to Robert Brett of Salem.* Mr.
Brett (or, Britt) called himself a planter,
and, for seven pounds and ten shillings,
conveyed this half of the lot to Henry
Bartholmew of Salem 9: 6 mo: i655.t
Upon this part of the lot Mr. Bartholmew,
who was a merchant, erected a dwelling
house before 1661. Mr. Bartholmew
lived here until he removed to Boston,
where he was also a merchant.
The small strip lying west of the dashes
was a part of the house lot of John Hoi-
grave very early. It subsequently came
into the hands of Richard Prince, who
conveyed it to Henry Bartholmew.
Mr. Bartholmew thus became the owner
of the entire lot, and he conveyed the lot
and house to Timothy Lindall of Salem,
merchant, Feb. 7, 1679-80.]: The great
fire of 1698 began in a warehouse situ-
ated at the northeasterly corner of this
lot, where the Museum building now
stands. The old house stood west ward ly
of it as shown on the map. Mr. Lindall
was building a new house on the site of

the warehouse at the time of his death,
Jan. 6, 1698-9. The other house was
called " the old house ' in the inventory
of his estate, taken in the spring of 1699,
and it was probably removed when the
new house was completed. The estate
remained in the possession of the widow
of Mr. Lindall until her death Jan. 7,
1731-2. The estate was not divided un-
til 1737. Samuel Barnard, esquire, and
wife Rachel, Benjamin Morshed, mariner,
and wife Sarah, widow Sarah Williams,
and Edward Rose, mariner, and wife
Mary, all of Salem, and Nathan Phippen
of Boston, mariner, children and grand-
children of Timothy Lindall, deceased,
conveyed their interests in the house and
land around it to James Lindall, esquire,
of Salem, a son of said deceased, Feb. 10,

estate shows that the house contained a
kitchen, hall, hall chamber, hall chamber
garret, parlor, parlor chamber, garret
over the parlor chamber shops, shop
chambers and shop chamber garrets.
It was called his mansion house, being
valued with the land that ran back to the
cemetery at ^47 6, 13^., ^d. In the di-
vision of the estate it was assigned to
his son James Lindall. The son died
the next year, Aug. 19, 1754, being also
a merchant, without issue. In the divi-
sion of his estate the house and land
around it were assigned to his only broth-
er Timothy Lindall of Salem, merchant.
Mr. Lindall conveyed " my mansion
house," barn and land to Joseph Mottey
of Salem, mariner, June 18, 1763^ For
four hundred and sixty- six pounds, thir-
teen shillings and four pence, Mr. Mottey

chambers over them and part of the lot of
land Nov. 25, 1786.* The remainder of
the house was set off to the widow of the
deceased, Mary Gardner, and in 1793
the house was occupied by Capt. George
Smith and a Mr. White, a tallow chandler.
Captain Gardner had two children living
at the time of his decease. Mary Lemon,
the daughter, apparently conveyed one-
half of her half interest in the estate to
her mother ; and her brother, John Gard-
ner, who inherited the other half, died
possessed of it Oct. 27, 1805, having by
his will devised it to his son Samuel P.
Gardner. Mrs. Lemon and her husband,
William Lemon of Boston, upholsterer,
conveyed her remaining fourth interest to
Samuel P. Gardner, esquire, of Salem,
Feb. 7, 1814.1 George Peele died pos-
sessed of his part of the estate in 1801,
intestate ; and it descended to his sister,
the widow Mary Gardner, who had the
dower interest in the remainder of the
estate. She conveyed this part of the
estate to John Andrew of Salem May 7,
1824;! and her other interests to Mr.
Andrew on the same day. Samuel P.
Gardner conveyed his interest in the es-
tate to Mr. Andrew May 22, i824. Mr.
Andrew, for four thousand dollars, con-
veyed the land and buildings to The
East India Marine Hall Corporation July
22, 18244 The corporation removed
the house immediately, and on its site
erected the present home of the Peabody
Academy of Science, commonly known as
the Museum building.
Nehemiah Willoughby House. John Hoi-
grave owned this house and lot in 1655.
Richard Prince owed the estate, and con-

sixty-nine. From this house he was
banished in 1660, and from it went
to England and obtained from King
Charles II., the mandate that caused the
terrible Quaker persecution to cease. Mr.
Shattock conveyed this house and lot to his
wife Hannah Shattock for her life, and
then to their children. She died Sept. 14,
1701, at the age of seventy-seven ; and,
Nov. i, 1701, by agreement of the chil-
dren the house and land became the es-
tate of the son, Samuel Shattock. The
house and land were then valued at forty-
five pounds. The house was standing in
1721, and gone in 1723, when Mr. Shat-
tock died possessed of the land.
John Browne Lot. Robert Gutch of
Salem owned this land in 1655, and prob-

1683, when her father conveyed to her,
"for the conveniences of a wharf," the strip
of land down to the water as shown on
the map.* Mr. Cole died June 27, 1687 ;
and after the decease of Mrs. Cole the
estate descended to their son Abraham
Cole, a mariner, who removed to Boston
before Dec. 12, 1710, when, for ninety
pounds, he conveyed the house and lot,
with the twelve feet passage to the high-
way and water, to Mighill Bacon of Salern,
shipwright.! Mr. Bacon mortgaged the
house and lot to his wife's father, Samuel
Shattock of Salem, feltmaker, March 6,
1710-14 Mr. Shattock evidently fore-
closed the mortgage ; though he permitted
the Bacon's to live there. Mr. Shattock
died early in 1723; and he devised the
house and land to his daughter, Mrs. Mar-
garet Bacon, who still lived there. He had
built a barn upon the lot ; and the house,
barn and land were then appraised at one
hundred and fifty pounds. The adminis-
trator of Mr. Shattock's estate, conveyed
the land and buildings, for sixty-nine
pounds, to John Higginson of Salem, shop-
keeper, Nov. 30, i726. For a similar
consideration, Mr. Higginson conveyed
the estate to Mr. Shattock's son John Shat-
tock of Salem, mariner, who was the ad-
ministrator, March 13, 1 7 2 7 . || Mr. Shat-
tock, for one hundred and twenty pounds,
conveyed this " my dwelling house '' and
land to Mihill Bacon and Samuel Bacon,
both of Salem, shipwrights, Feb. 21,

Bacon then called the house " my now

house stood is not known.
Hannah Sanders Lot. That part of
this lot lying northerly of the dashes be-
longed to Nathaniel Pickman, sr., of Salem,
carpenter, as early as 1655. He conveyed
this lot to his son-in-law John Sanders of
Salem, mariner, and his wife Hannah
Sanders, daughter of Mr. Pickman, as a
gift, Dec. 31, i68i.t
That part of the lot lying southerly of
the dashes was granted by the town of
Salem and laid out to Abraham Cole 6 :
i mo : 1 66 1 ; and it came into the hands
of Mr. Sanders soon afterward.
Mr. Sanders died June 9, 1694 ; and
his widow was the owner of the land in
1700.
Estate of Timothy Lindall Lot. This
lot originally constituted four lots, as
shown on the map, being separated by the
dashes, and all granted by the town of
Salem and laid out 6: i mo: 1661, as
follows : the northern one to Henry Bar-
tholomew, the next to John Browne, the
ruling elder, the next to Mr. Price, and
the next to Zebulon Hill for a shop. Mr.
Bartholomew removed to Boston before
Feb. 7, 1679-80, when he conveyed his
warehouse, wharf, etc., to Timothy Lin-
dall of Salem, merchant. J John Browne
gave his lot to his son James Browne, who
died before a deed was passed, and John
Browne then sold it to John Marston, who
sold it to John Pilgrim of Salem, merchant,
but no deed had yet passed. Mr. Browne
gave a deed of it to Mr. Pilgrim Nov. 26,
i68o. Mr. Pilgrim apparently conveyed
it to Mr. Lindall soon afterward. The
other lots came into the hands of Mr.
Lindall, but the deeds have not been
found. Mr. Lindall died Jan. 6, 1698-9,
possessed of the entire lot, it being valued,
with the wharf and warehouse, at one hun-

his estate until 1737, when it was divided.
David Phippen Lot. This lot originally
constituted four lots, separated on the
map by the dashes, all having been
granted by the town of Salem and laid
out 6 : i mo : 1661, as follows : the north-
ern one to William Lake, the next to
Samuel Williams, the next to Edmund
Batter and the next to John Brown (son
of Mr. William* Browne). No deeds have
been found from William Lake and John
Browne to Mr. Phippen of Salem, ship-
wright, but they were evidently conveyed
very early ; Samuel Williams conveyed his
lot to him in or before 1679 ; and Mr.
Batter, for fifty shillings, conveyed his lot
to Mr. Phippen May 3, 1679.* Mr. Phip-
owned these lots in 1700.
William Gedney Lot. This lot was
granted by the town of Salem and laid

by the town of Salem and laid out 6 : i
mo: 1 66 1, to Samuel Gardner and his
brother Capt. Joseph Gardner. Captain
Gardner was killed in King Phillip's war
Dec. 19, 1675, and his interest in the lot
was probably released to his brother Sam-
uel^Gardner, who died in 1689, possessed
of it. The lot descended the latter's son
Jonathan Gardner, who died about four
years later, having devised the lot to his
brother Abel Gardner of Salem, yeoman.
Abel Gardner owned it in 1700.
William Hirst Lot. That part of this lot
lying westerly of the dashes was granted
by the town of Salem and laid out 6 : i

son-in-law, Capt. William Bowditch of
Salem, mariner, was the administrator of
his estate. Captain Bowditch and his
wife Mary, for fifty shillings, conveyed the
lot to William Hirst of Salem, merchant,
Dec. 31, 1698.*
That part of the lot lying easterly of
the dashes was granted by the town of
Salem and laid out to Maj. William Ha-
thorne 6 : i mo : 1661. He died in 1681,
possessed of it, and it then came into the
possession of his son John Hathorne of
Salem, merchant, who, for five pounds,
sold it to Mr. Hirst Feb. 16, 1691, but
no deed passed until Sept. 8, 1716.!
Mr. Hirst owned the entire lot for
many years after 1700.
William Bowditch Lot. Feb. 14,
1 6 80- 1, the selectmen of Salem leased to
Capt. William Bowditch of Salem, mer-
chant, "all that lower end of that land

soe low as the order & custome of the
Towne is and According as thay allow
vnto others that border vpon the water
or Riuer. >? J Captain Bowditch owned
the lot in 1700 apparently.
John Cromwell Lot. This lot was a
part of the lot that Samuel Friend of Man-
chester conveyed to Samuel Pickman of
Salem, mariner, Dec. 24, i657. Mr.
Pickman conveyed this part of it to Wil-
liam Bowditch of Salem, merchant, May
23, 1676.11 Mr. Bowditch conveyed it
with his warehouse, cellar, and wharf
thereon to Philip Cromwell of Salem,
slaughterer, Nov. 20, 1679.^ Mr. Crom-
well died possessed of the property March

John Cromwell, who died, possessed of it,
Sept. 30, 1700. The warehouse was then
called " old/' and the wharf still there.

Benjamin Pickman Lot. This lot be-
longed to Samuel Friend of Manchester
very early ; and he conveyed it to Samuel
Pickman of Salem, mariner, Dec. 24,
1657.* For six pounds Mr. Pickman
conveyed that part of the lot at the
southeast corner within the dashes to
John Pickman of Salem, seaman, May 7,
i66i.f John Pickman died in the winter
of 1683-4, apparently without issue, and
this part of the lot was released to his
nephew Benjamin Pickman. The remain-
der of the lot was owned by Samuel Pick-
man until his death in 1691 ; and his heirs
apparently conveyed it to Benjamin Pick-
man, who thus became the owner of the
whole lot, which he died possessed of
after 1700.
Francis Gahtman House. That part
of this lot lying easterly of the dashes be-
longed to Samuel Friend of Manchester
very early. Dec. 24, 1657, he conveyed
it to Samuel Pickman of Salem.*
That part of the lot lying westerly of
the dashes, with the house thereon, be-
longed to William Goult, who died in the
winter of 1659-60, possessed of the prop-
erty. The administratrix of his estate, for
twenty-four pounds, conveyed the house
and lot to Mr. Pickman June 12, i66o.J
The southern end of this lot may have
been a part of the lot that Edward Grove
conveyed to the town for an enlargement
of the cemetery, and a part of which was
conveyed to Mr. Pickman for the piece of
land they had of him for the same pur-
pose, etc.
Mr. Pickman died in 1685, and the
administratrix of his estate conveyed the
house and entire lot to Dr. Francis Gaht-
man of Salem March 8, i689- The
house was standing and owned by Doctor
Gahtman in 1750; but how much longer
it stood has not been learned.

THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR.
BY T. C. HARBAUGH.
It stands over there in the corner alone,
Its varnish is cracked and one rocker is gone;
What's left of its tidy is dusty and brown
And scattered and silent its fringes hang down;
No songster appeareth to warble its praise,
When we were but children it saw its best days;
And many a face that was rosy and fair
Reposed after play in the old rocking chair.
How often in it in the winter nights 'cold
The tales of the fairies by nurses were told;
How often we listened with kiss-bedewed brow
To lullaby strains that we hear even now ;
Aye, far in the past with its sunshine and shade
I hear the sweet sounds that the old rockers made;
And now as I listen I willingly share
The loves of the years with the old rocking chair.
She rests where the roses their love vigils keep
Who fondly and tenderly rocked me to sleep ;
But still, when I look in the corner, I trace
Within the old rocker a well- cherished face;
The years that have vanished no more to return
But deeper the joys of a childhood inurn,
And thus doth the past with a halo most fair
Recrown with its beauty the old rocking chair.
No longer to music now fast and now slow
At morning and evening it moves to and fro;
No more from its depths where sweet memories
throng
With an angelic touch comes a lullaby song;
'Tis covered with dust, but the dust cannot hide
The prints of the hands that will ever abide
Upon the old arms so reposeful and fair,
When memory turns to the old rocking chair.

BEVERLY, June 24, 1769.
THIS Evening the Remains of the
fecond Wife of the Reverend Mr.
CHIPMAN, of the Town, were de-
cently interred, who died in the Morning
of the 2 1 ft.
His firft Wife was fifter to the late Col.
HALE, of Beverly ; a Woman refpectable
for her Piety, an Ornament to her Sex, a
Pattern to her Family, and a Crown to
her Hufband. By her he had his chil-
dren, viz. eight Sons, and feven Daugh-
ters ; three only of which Sons, and five
of the Daughters, yet furvive.
This his fecond Wife was Sifter to the
late Reverend Mr. WARREN, of Wenham ;
a Woman of excellent Knowledge, efpe-
cially in the facred Oracles, and full of
Goodnefs even as the other. Upon her
coming into Family, fhe foon taught the
younger Children to efteem and reverence
her Perfon ; and by her prudent and con-
ftant Exertions for their beft Good, fixed
them in a fteady Courfe of chearful and
filial Obedience to her, to the End ; yea,
excited their Gratitude to that Degree,
that they feemed ready to expend their
own Life for her Relief, in the Time of
her Diftrefs. The Neighbourhood were
moved with Grief, as her laft Sicknefs
came on. The Gentle women of her Ac-
quaintance, both elder and younger,
treated her with the Compaffion due to a
Sifter or Mother in Adverfity ; fparing no
Coft, no Labour, which might minifter to
her Eafe or Comfort. Dying of a Drop-
fy, her Sufferings were conftant, without
Intermiffion, and very tedious for more
than fix Weeks. She patiently endured
them, being animated with a lively Hope
of her being prefent with the Lord as
foon as fhe fhould be abfent from the
Body.

EARLY PLANTED CROPS.
THE early settlers of Essex county
found here in a wild state several varieties
of fruits and vegetables that were new to
them. There were alsojnany kinds that
were like those cultivated in the fields and
gardens in England, though here they
were less developed than there. The
planters brought their own English seeds,
and planted them in the untried soil of
New England, proving that the new
world was capable of producing crops
equal to those of the homeland. The
wild plants and fruit-bearing shrubs and
trees were improved by cultivation, and
made to minister to the needs of the im-
migrants.
The Indians of this section of America
were apparently not as nomadic as has
been supposed. The localities of their
abodes were fixed and certain, the tribes
having occupied a somewhat definite ter-
ritory. They dwelt in settled villages, and
cultivated the soil, sometimes on a con-
siderable scale and for a long time on
the same spot.
They gathered and used the wild fruits,
nuts, grapes, plums, berries, etc., but
probably cultivated none of them.
The most important cultivated planted
crop of the Indians was maize, or, as the
settlers called it, Indian corn, and in our
own time known simply as corn. It was
raised generally throughout the country ;
and was indeed of great importance and
value to the aborigines. No other cereal
or fruit or vegetable was so well adapted
to their necessities. The hard hull pre-
vented it from spoiling, and it could be
readily carried about their persons. Its
parching quality gave it a further advan-
tage, and they did not tire of its flavor.
Its cultivation was easy, and increase great.
In our ancient pastures and forests
corn- hills may still be seen. While many
of these were made by our forefathers,
frequently will be found those of the In-
dians of three hundred years ago. The
little hillocks of earth are about three feet
apart, and in rows. Only about four
stalks were grown in a hill; and the
method of cultivation by the Indian was
adopted by the English settler. The
corn-cribs, or houses, set on posts, which
are still to be seen upon farms in various
parts of Essex county, was, it is said, the
Indian method of preserving their grain
from small animals. However this may
be, it is certain that the supply of corn on
hand not needed for immediate consump-
tion was preserved in holes in the ground.
The holes were about the size of an or-
dinary hogshead, and the corn was kept
from contact with the earth by being
placed in baskets made of rushes and
osiers with mats above and under
them. The early English settlers some-
times bought corn of the Indians, being
supplied from this source.
The latter fertilized their corn, gener-
ally with fish, and sometimes with manure
and probably seaweed and vegetable com-
post. The cultivation of the ground de-
volved upon women ; and the squaws bore
the brunt of the exposure and labor from
the burning over the ground, to destroy
the weeds before the soil was dug up
with their hoes made of large clam shells,
till the harvest.
Indian corn immediately became the
staple crop of the white settlers, who
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
adopted the aboriginal methods in its cul-
tivation, and in the course of centuries
have modified them but little. Instead
of the ground being slightly stirred by the
clam-shell hoe, the English immediately
used the iron-strapped wooden plow, and
later the sub-soil plow. Fertilizing was
increased and hoeing was more thorough
and often, the cultivator later on adding to
the deeper stirring of the soil. Probably
the Indians had no use for the stalks, but
the English fed them to cattle.
Husking parties may have been en-
joyed among the Indians, and certainly
they soon became occasions of great mer-
riment among the colonists.
Shelling corn by hand during the long
winter evenings was hard work at any
period, whether it was upon the edge of
an inverted shovel blade, on the long
handle of a frying pan, or a long knife
blade set in the edge of a piece of
wood. The cobs were used as fuel,
in curing hams, giving a delightful flavor
to the smoked shoulder.
The settlers also learned from their
dusky friends how to pulverize their corn,
by pounding in a mortar or grinding be-
tween stones. The mortar was a section
of the trunk or stump of a tree a foot or
more in diameter and three feet in height,
hollowed out by burning. The top of the
wooden pestle, which was used for pound-
ing the grain, was fastened to the top of a
bent young tree, which formed a spring
to raise the pestle. This was called a
samp mill. Corn was also cracked and
broken in this manner. The grist-mill,
similar to the modern kind, was soon in-
stituted, not only to grind Indian corn,
but wheat, rye, and other grains. Wind-
mills were adopted a little while before
the water mills, though both appeared
very early in the settlements of the early
colonists. The Indians ate their corn
green as well as ripe. They boiled or
roasted the green ears, probably of the
sweet variety, with the husks still on;
a practice which might be desirable in
our own time. From their methods of
cooking the ripened grain, we have re-
ceived ash-cake, hoe-cake, Johnny cake,
succotash, samp, hominy, parched corn
and hasty pudding.
Parched or popped corn then became
known for the first time to the children of
the settlements here. Governor Win-
throp wrote about 1630 that when corn
was parched it turned inside out and was
" white and floury within.' '
Then became known to our forebears
the Indian pudding boiled in a bag, and
the rye and Indian bread ; and hasty pud-
ding, as we know it, was entirely novel.
The Indians also raised cucumbers (or
cow-cumbers, or cow- combers) , water and
musk melons (or, millions, as they were
then called) , and squashes, which Higgin-
son called " squanter squashes." They
also cultivated gourds, the shells of which
were emplowed for storage and carrying
or water jugs, dippers, spoons and dishes,
for mixing bowls, masks, etc.
They also had pumpkins called by
them " pompions." The English settlers
cultivated them, planting them among the
corn, as the Indians had done, a practice
which is still continued here. This vege-
table was fruitful, easily grown, easily
cooked, and kept well. In the early days
they were important as a food supply, be-
ing used for sweetening, and dried and
ground made into bread. Johnson, in
his Wonder-working Providence, called it
" A fruit which the Lord fed his people
till corn and cattle increased;" and re-
buked the colonists for their lack of its
appreciation. A colonial poet shows how
necessary it was, in his couplet :
" We have pumpkins at morning and pumpkins at
noon,
If it were not for pumpkins we should be un-
done."
*
Pumpkins were dried in the sun and kept
for winter use by both Indians and colon-
ists. They were eaten stewed, and the
old-fashioned " pumpkin pie " is still
cooked, but the squash has nearly sup-
planted it.
Beans were abundant and raised by the
Indians amongst their corn. These they

shelled and preserved dry, as at the pres-
ent day by their successors. They baked
them in earthen pots and the colonists
and their descendants have continued the
custom ever since. The Indians also had
peas, and these, too, have ever been pop-
ular with all the residents of New Eng-
land, whether cooked green or dry.
" Pease " are often mentioned in the
early records but under this designation
beans were probably included.
The Indians had several varieties of
edible roots, as turnips, parsnips and car-
rots; and also onions. There was wild
hemp, from which they obtained fibre for
cordage and cloth, s
Besides all these plants which were
growing wild and those which were culti-
vated by the natives, seeds of various
others were brought from England for
sowing in our soil, as well as seeds of
improved species like those that were
American. Most of the new varieties
succeeded, being soon adapted to the
changed conditions of soil and climate.
The Massachusetts Bay Company pro-
vided to be sent to Salem in the winter
following the arrival of Endecott a hogs-
head each, in the ear, of wheat, rye,
barley and oats, beans, peas, woad seed,
saffron heads, liquorice seed, madder
roots and seed, potatoes, and hemp and
flax seed. The potatoes were probably
of the sweet variety, which had been in-
troduced into England from the southern
American colonies, the officers of the
company in England evidently being ig-
norant that the climate and soil of Salem
was hardly adapted to this vegetable of a
warmer region.
The general court passed a law May
13, 1648, that no wheat, rye, barley or
Indian com should be transported into
any foreign parts, or put aboard any ves-
sel with that intention, under penalty of
twenty shillings per bushel, one-half of
the penalty to go to the informer. The
exportation of corn was again forbidden
in 1662. Corn was received for taxes at
the following rates per bushel : in 1650,
three shillings, 1654, two shillings and
eight pence, and in 1655, two shillings
and six pence. In 1650 and 1654, wheat
and barley were received for taxes at the
rate of five shillings per bushel, and rye
and peas at four shillings. In 1655, wheat
and barley were received at four shillings
and six pence, rye at three shillings and
six pence, and peas at four shillings per
bushel. May 23, 1655, the general court
authorized towns to appoint men to meas-
ure corn, in cases of dispute that might
arise.
John Goff e of Newbury, who died Dec.
9, 1641, had seven bushels of Indian
corn on hand, valued at seventeen shill-
ings, and one bushel of wheat, valued at
four shillings. Hugh Churchman of Lynn,
when the inventory of his estate was
taken July 4, 1644, had twenty bushels
of wheat, four bushels of Indian corn, two
bushels of barley, and corn on the ground.
Isabel West of Salem, when her estate
was appraised Dec. 30, 1 644, had sixteen
bushels of Indian corn and five bushels
of pease. Robert Pease of Salem,
when he died in 1644, had one acre each
of wheat, barley, pease and Indian corn ;
and he was a small farmer. John Talbey
of Salem, when the inventory of his es-
tate was taken in January, 1644-5, had
twenty bushels of Indian corn, valued at
two shillings and six pence a bushel, and
three pecks of naked oats, appraised at
seven shillings. John Gaines of Lynn,
when his estate was appraised, Jan. 14,
1644-5, had thirty bushels of Indian corn,
valued at four pounds, and also, oats,
white peas, beans, hemp and flax. Wid-
ow Margaret Pease of Salem, who died in
1644, had wheat, Indian corn and rye.
John Pride of Salem, whose estate was ap-
praised in February, 1647-8, then had
on hand wheat, barley, pease and Indian
corn, together valued at three pounds.
Edmund Ingalls of Lynn, at the time
that he was drowned in March, 1648,
had hemp and flax in his barn valued at
one pound. When the estate of Hugh
Burt, jr., was appraised Oct. 8, 1650, he
had wheat and other English grain, val-
ued at one pound and one shilling, and

thirty bushels of Indian corn, valued at
four pounds and ten shillings. Edmund
Lewis of Lynn, at the time his estate was
appraised, Feb. 12, 1650-1, had ten
bushels of wheat, valued at two pounds
and ten shillings, ten bushels of oats,
valued at five pounds and seven shillings,
and sixty bushels of Indian corn, valued
at ninety pounds. The inventory of the
estate of John Osgood, sr., of Andover,
taken Nov. 25, 1651, shows that he had
sixty bushels of barley, valued at thirteen
pounds, fifty bushels of pease, valued at
eight pounds and fifteen shillings, and rye
sowed twelve pounds. When the estate
of William Stevens of Newbury was ap-
praised, June 13, 1653, he had four acres
of rye, wheat and barley growing, valued
at eight pounds, and three acres of Indian
corn, valued at four pounds. In the in-
ventory of the estate of Thomas Trusler
of Salem, taken March 5, 1653-4, is men-
tioned four bushels of Indian meal, valued
at twelve shillings, twenty pounds of
hemp, valued at ten shillings, two bushels
of seed barley, valued at ten shillings,
and two bushels of seed pease, valued at
eight shillings. In the inventory of the
estate of John Balch of Salem, taken in
1648, is mentioned nine acres of wheat,
valued at nine pounds six acres of Indian
corn, valued at six pounds, one acre of
oats, valued at one pound, and twelve
bushels of Indian corn, valued at one
pound and sixteen shillings. Thomas
Mighill of Rowley, who died early in the
summer of 1654, had a large farm, and in
the inventory of his estate is mentioned
corn meal and malt, corn measures, one
breaking-up plow with "her" irons, valued
at one pound and two shillings, three
other plows, valued at one pound and
one shilling, seven and one-half acres of
wheat and barley, valued at eight pounds
and five shillings, four and one-half acres
of corn, valued at five pounds and eight
shillings, three acres of Indian corn, val-
ued at three pounds and twelve shillings,
four acres of wheat and Indian corn, val-
ued at four pounds, and corn at the pen,
valued at three pounds. John Porter, sr.,
of Salem, who died Sept. 6, 1676, was a
more extensive farmer than Mr. Mighill.
In the inventory of his estate is mentioned
forty-six sheep, fourteen lambs, eight
oxen, fifteen cows, eleven calves, nine
two-year olds, eight yearlings, two steers,
one bull, fourteen swine, eleven shoats,
six mares, five horses, two colts, twelve
acres of barley, valued at twenty-seven
pounds, two acres of pease, valued at
three pounds, one acre of wheat, valued
at thirty-two shillings, and twelve acres of
Indian com, valued at twenty-four
pounds.
In the earlier inventories of estates of
deceased persons is no mention of roots,
turnips, parsnips, carrots, onions, squashes
melons, etc. Probably these were pro-
duced in small quantities, as they were
more perishable than the hard grains.
The flail and the floor were the means
of threshing out the grain by the early
settlers ; and in the inventory of the es-
tate of Edmund Lewis of Lynn, Feb. 12,
1650-1, is mentioned a "fan", which was
probably an instrument to separate the
grain from the chaff.

SALEM IN J700. NO. 28.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
The map on page in represents that
part of Salem which is bounded by Essex,
Washington, Front and Central streets.
It is based on actual surveys and title
deeds, and is drawn on a scale of two
hundred feet to an inch. It shows the
location of all houses that were standing
there in 1700.
Essex street was one of the original
streets of the settlement. It was called
a street in 1660; street passing to the
meeting house, 1664; the main street
whereon the meeting house standeth,
1664; the main street, 1689; Main
street, 1690; Street from ye meeting
house to ye East end of ye town, 1694;
street or highway, 1698-9; and Essex
street as early as 1796.
Central street was an original way to
the water front. It was called the lane
or way that goes to the water side and
wharf whereon the warehouse of William
Browne standeth in 1664; Lane or way
that goeth down along by the warehouse
of Benjamin Browne to the South river,
1690; highway to river, 1693 > street or
highway that leads down to Major
Browne's wharf, 1714; the highway, 1733;
the lane leading to the water, 1782;
lane or street leading from Main street
to South river, 1785; Hanover street
leading from the main street to the South
river, 1790; Market street 1809; and
Central street, 1821.
Front street was one of the ancient
ways along the water front. It was called
the water side in 1662; highway, 1682 :
highway leading by the sea, 1746; Wharf
street, 1784; the street leading by the
South river, 1787 ; Water street, 1809;
and Front street, as early as 1853.
Washington street was originally laid
out four rods wide, but the space actually
reserved on this side of Essex street was
about seven rods wide. For a year or so
after Endecott'came this space remained
unoccupied. The first part that became
private land was that part designated on
the map as the lot of Elizur Keysor,
which evidence indicates was the site of
the house of Rev. Francis Higginson. The
jail was erected here, and grants were
made to John Home, Mary Chichester,
Henry West and Thomas Tuck. The
second meeting house was located in this
space also. That part westerly of the
Elizur Keysor house was called the town
land or street in 1698; street leading
from the Court house to the wharves,
1760; highway leading from the court
house in Salem to Marblehead, 1770;
"road leading to Marblehead or else-
where", 1785 ; road leading from Marble -
head to Capt. William Orne's store to-
wards the new court house, 1794; and
Washington street in 1810. East of the
Elizur Keysor house the way was called a
highway in 1665 ; town land or street,
1693 ; lane or way leading from ye town
house down to) the sea, 1 746 ; lane leading
from the great meeting house to the distil
house wharf, 1762 ; lane between the land
of Edmund Henfield and land of Abraham
Cabot and Hannah Smith, 17 70; and a lane
in 1810. On the south side of the Elizur
Keysor lot, it was called the town land or
street in 1693 ; highway in 1760; and
common land in 1770 and 1810. On the
north side of the Elizur Keysor house,
the land was called the town land or
street in 1693; and highway in 1760.
One of these lanes was popularly called
" Shirk alley" nearly a century ago.
The lane on the east side of the John
Orne lot was called a highway in 1665 ; a
street or highway, 1703; way from ye
main street, 1726; lane, 1747; highway,
1762 ; and lane or way, 1791. This was

abolished on the widening of Washington
street in 1839.
The short way, of about five rods in
length, at the corner of what was origin-
ally the broad street and the street to the
south of the premises was called a high-
way in 1695 ; highway or common land,
1747 ; town land, 1786 ; way leading to
Cabot's wharf and to wharves to the east-
ward of it, 1792; a road, 1794; and
Short street, 1827.
The way on the south side of the
meeting house was called a highway in
1665; a street or highway, 1693; and
highway by the south side of the great
meeting house, 1762.
The way on the east side of the meet-
ing house was called a street, in 1674;
street or highway, 1693 ; a lane between
ye meeting house and shop of William
Driver, 1702 ; and ye highway as late as
I734-
The cove which came up into the
street was called a creek in 1736. This
was filled about a hundred years ago.
The South river was called the river in
1660; South river, 1664; and the sea in
1746. It was filled along the street about
a century ago.
The meeting house lot was taken from
the lot of William Lord before August,
1635. The first meeting house, built
prior to that date, stood on the vacant
lot east of the meeting house shown
on the map. For the history of the first
meeting house, see Essex Institute His-
torical Collections, volume XXXIX, page
209. The meeting house was taken
down in August, 1672 ; and its timbers
were used in the construction of a town,
school and watch house a few yards west-
erly of the meeting house shown on the
map, two years later. It was not finished
in 1677, when it was removed to the mid-
dle of Washington street opposite to what
is now known as the Brookhouse estate.
The meeting house shown on the map
was built in 1671, sixty feet long, fifty
wide and twenty feet posts. This edifice
stood until 1718. After the first meeting
house was removed its site was known
and used as a market place. When the
second meeting house was erected in
1671, the prison, which then stood upon
that site, was removed to the west, into
what was then the garden of Benjamin
Felton ; and there the prison remained
until the new jail on St. Peter street was
built in 1684.
In the sketches that follow, after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to
the houses and land adjoining and not
always to the whole lot, the design being
after that date, to give the history of the
houses then standing principally.
David Phippen House. This lot was
early owned by William Browne of Salem,
merchant. For thirty- two pounds, he
conveyed the northern part of it and the
dwelling house thereon to Thomas Crom-
well of Salem, tailor, 20 : 2 : 1664.* Mr.
Cromwell died March 17, 1686-7; and
his widow, Ann Cromwell, and son-in-
law Jonathan Pickering and wife Jane,
and son-in-law David Phippen and wife
Ann, all of Salem, for sixty-five pounds
and seventeen shillings, conveyed the
house and northern part of the lot to
Benjamin Browne of Salem, merchant,
Oct. 21, 1690.1 Benjamin Browne's sta-
ble stood upon the southern part of the
lot, and he probably received his title
from William Browne who owned the
stable and land in 1664, but no convey-
ance has been found. Benjamin Browne
apparently conveyed the entire lot with
the house and stable to David Phippen of

1647. In 1660, there was only one house
upon it. Mr. Cromwell apparently erect-
ed another house upon the lot some years
later. He laid out a passage to it twelve
feet wide and seventy feet long, and died
possessed of the estate March 30, 1693.
It descended to his son, John Cromwell,
who died possessed of the lot and both
houses Sept. 30, 1700. The house near-
est the street had been occupied by Ed-
ward Cox, and the other by a Mrs. Barthol-
omew. Under the will of Mr. Cromwell,
his widow, Hannah Cromwell of Salem
conveyed the estate to Florence Maccarty
of Boston, slaughterer, Nov. 28, 1701.*
Mr. Maccarty evidently took down the
old house immediately, and died in 1712.
His estate was divided Jan. 18, 1723,
when the houses were both gone.
Florence Maccarty House. This lot
originally belonged to Rev. Samuel Skel-
ton, and to Mr. Philip Cromwell as early
as 1647. There was then a house upon
the lot, and the latter died possessed of
the estate March 30, 1693. The estate
descended to his son John Cromwell of
Salem, slaughterer, who built a shop and
slaughter-house. For one hundred and
twenty pounds, he conveyed the house,
shop, slaughter-house and land to Flor-
ence Maccarty of Boston March 17, 1698-
9.t Mr. Maccarty died in 1712, pos-
sessed of the estate, and the house was
gone before 1723.
William Browne House. That part of
this lot lying easterly of the dashes origi-
nally belonged to Rev. Samuel Skelton,
whose house stood at the southern end of
the lot. Mr. Skelton came to Salem in
1629, and was the first pastor of the
church in Salem. He died Aug. 2, 1634 ;
and the estate came into the hands of his
son-in-law Nathaniel Felton of Salem.
Mr. Felton sold the " old " house and
land to Mr. William Browne, sr., of Salem
in 1643, though no deed was passed in
confirmation of the sale until Nov. 26,

Danger of prefent falling to the endanger-
ing of the lives of Children & Cattell and
others " the county court ordered that it
be taken down within ten days 27 : 6 :
1644, and it was so removed probably.*
The remainder of the lot belonged to
Hugh Laskin very early, and he lived in
the house at the southern end of the lot,
which was called "an old house'' in 1647.
The two houses and the land were owned
by Richard Stilman of Salem, when he
conveyed the estate to Samuel Sharp,
elder of ye church of Salem, and Elias
Stilman, sr., feofees in trust, for the use of
his son Samuel Stilman and his heirs for-
ever ; reserving his dwelling house there-
on for eighteen years at the rent of five
pounds a year, " Provided if by Casualtie
of fire the houses be destroyed the Rent
to be abated accordinglie, and in case the
s d Samuell dyeth before he be at adg of
21 years then the whole Estat to Returne
to ye said Richard & his heires." This
instrument is dated Aug. 9, 1647.! Sam-
uel Stilman probably died a minor, as his
father, who had removed to Portsmouth,
N. H., conveyed the houses and land to
his cousin Elias Stileman, esq., of Ports-
mouth, April 12, i66o.| The old house
was gone before July 23, 1694, when
Elias Stileman, for one hundred and twenty
pounds, conveyed one house and the
lot to Maj. William Browne, esq., of Salem,
merchant. Mr. Browne lived here, and
died in February, 1715-6, possessed of
the entire estate. In his will he devised
this his homestead, with the house, land,
etc., to his son Samuel Browne. Col.
Samuel Browne was a judge, representa-
tive and one of the largest merchants of
the town in his time. He removed the
house before 1731.

1635, that a committee " should consider
of some convenient place for shops yt
may be w th the owners conse.nt ;" and
suggestions for shops at this corner were
made. Benjamin Felton had a shop on
the lot in 1647 ; and at a meeting of the
selectmen, 3: 6: 1659, "Leave was
given -to Richard Home Taylour to mend
vp the little house Joyning to the meeting
house & make vse of it for a shopp at the
Townes pleasure."* The town gave lib-

ton owned the lot, with the house there-
on, in 1660. Capt. George Corwin, the
merchant, subsequently owned it; and
with the two-story shops and cellar theron
conveyed the estate to Joseph Stacey.
Mr. Stacey owned " the house of shops"
in 1689. He died Oct. 15, 1690, and the
house and lot were then appraised at
forty-five pounds. Orally, in the presence
of John Marston and Hannah Harby, he
gave everything he had to his mother the
night he died. His mother, Susannah
Stacey of Salem, with the consent of her
sons William Stacey and John Stacey, who
join in the deed, conveyed the estate to
William Driver of Salem, chandler, Jan. 3,
1690-14 Mr. Driver died the same year;
and his son William Driver of Salem, cord-
wainer, for ten pounds, released the shop
and lot to his step-father, Daniel Grant of
Salem, chandler, April 30, i7O2. Daniel
Grant had married Mr. Driver's widow

seven pounds and ten shillings, conveyed
the house and land to Daniel Caton of

Samuel Phillips Houses. That part of
this lot lying north of the dashes was
originally a part of the homestead of Hugh
Laskin, and early came into the hands of
Richard Stilman, who owned it in 1647.
He removed to Portsmouth, N. H., after
that date, and he conveyed it to his cousin
Elias Stileman of Portsmouth April 12,
1660.* The latter, for ten pounds, con-

smith, May 25, 16894 Mr. Phillips
built a house upon this lot ; and conveyed
the house and land, "where I now dwell,"
one-fourth to his wife Sarah, one-fourth to
his daughter Patience, and one-half to his
son John Phillips, stationer, May 3, 1 722.$
Mr. Phillips was then sick probably and
died before Nov. 14, 1722, when a divis-
ion of his estate was made, and this house

Lord lot, and was owned, with the house
thereon, by Edward Wharton as early as
1660 and in 1671. It belonged to Lt.

ly, and he died possessed of it in 1682.

for seventy-five pounds, conveyed the
house and land to Abraham Cabot of
Salem, fisherman, Oct. 14, i732. For
forty pounds, Mr. Cabot conveyed the

Elizur Keysor House. By an agree-
ment made in London April 8, 1629,
with the governor and company of the
Massachusetts Bay, Rev. Francis Hig-
ginson, the first teacher of the church in
Salem, was to have a house built for
him. Mr. Higginson arrived here June
29, 1629 ; and in just a year thereafter he
died, leaving a widow and eight children.
The house and land was apparently given
to his widow. In this house lived Roger
Williams; and at the time of his banish-
ment, at the request of Mrs. Higginson
(who had removed to Charlestown), he
conveyed the estate to John Woolcott of
Salem. Mr. Woolcott conveyed it, with
two bedsteads, table, forms and shelves
in the house, and all the fences about it,
to William Lord of Salem Nov. 9, 1635.
The following is an exact copy of the
deed, which is unrecorded and is found
in the files of the county court at Salem
for March 30, 1669 : f

This deed is on file among the papers
in the case of William Lord against John
Home, which relates to the title of the
land to the westward of William Lord's
land as shown on the map. This deed
could not have referred to William
Lord's homestead as he owned it some
time before the date of this deed of the
Higginson house. As the deed conveyed
"all the fences about it," the conclusion
is that no part of the fences belonged to
any other person, that is, that there were
no adjoining owners, Mr. Milliard Veren,
who appears as its owner in 1659, was a
public man, and a man worthy to succeed
to such a prominent and historic resi-
dence. Mr. Lord and the Veren family
had many real estate transactions to-
gether.
Hillard Veren owned the estate May 2,
1659, when the town granted to him
"Roome before his now dwellinge house
to make a Porch."* He died Dec. 20,

1683, at the age of sixty-three; and the
estate, which was then valued, with the
house and barn thereon, at one hundred
pounds, descended to his two daughters,
Mary, wife of Samuel Williams of Salem,
and Abigail, wife of Benjamin Marston of
Salem. They divided the house and lot,
Mary taking the western, and Abigail,
the easterly part. Mr. Williams died,
and his widow, Mary Williams, with the
consent of her son Samuel Williams, for
forty-three pounds, conveyed her half of
the house and lot to John Woodwell of
Salem, glover, April 6, 1693.* Mr. Mars-
ton, for forty pounds, conveyed his wife's
half of the lot and house, with the leanto,
to Mr. Woodwell Nov. 14, 1 693.1 For
forty-five pounds, sixteen shillings and
eight pence, Mr. Woodwell conveyed the
house, barn and land to Elizur Keysor of
Salem, tanner, May n, 16984 Mr. Key-
sor conveyed the same estate to Florence
Maccarty of Boston April 7, i7O7. Mr.
Maccarty, for twenty-eight pounds, con-
veyed it to Peter Windet of Salem, cur-
rier, May 8, 1707.!! Mr. Windet evi-
dently removed the old house soon after-
ward.

tuals. Sworn to as above.

CAPT. EDMUND BRAY.
Capt. Edmund Bray married Sarah
Pedrick Jan. 4, 1795 ; and lived in Mar-
blehead, in the house now belonging to
Francis Goodwin, on State street. His
wife died, of consumption, April 10, 1814,
at the age of forty. His mother, Mrs.
Bray, died, of dysentery, Sept. , 1822,
at the age of seventy-four. Captain Bray's
children were born in Marblehead, and
were as follows : Mary, baptized May 9,
1796 ; Isabella, baptized June n , 1797 ;
Edmund, baptized, Nov. 6, 1798; buried
at the Island of Java Aug. 20, 1835,
aged thirty-six; John baptized May 13,
1804; died, of consumption, March 30,
1826 ; Knott Pedrick, baptized May 13,
1 804 ; lived in Marblehead ; master-
mariner ; married Mary E. Andrews Oct.
22, 1846; Sally, baptized Oct. 28, 1804,
died, of consumption, July 28, 1826;
Thomas Pedrick, baptized Dec. 14, 1806 ;
Evelina, baptized March 24, 1814.
Evelina, the youngest child, is said to
have been three or four years old at the
time of her baptism. At the age of
seventeen she attended Haverhill Acad-
my, being a classmate of John Greenleaf
Whittier, who was at that time two years
older than she. They became deeply
interested in each other ; and Whittier
visited her at her home in Marblehead.
The following verses of his poem, entitled
" A Sea Dream," she acknowledged to
relate to them :
The waves are glad in breeze and sun ;
The rocks are fringed with foam;
I walk once more a haunted shore,
A stranger, yet at home,
A land of dreams I roam.
Is this the wind, the soft sea-wind
That stirred thy locks of brown ?
Are these the rocks whose mosses knew
The trail of thy light gown,
Where boy and girl sat down?
I see the gray forts broken wall,
The boats that rock below,
And, out at sea, the passing sails
We saw so long ago
Rose-red in morning's glow.
Adverse circumstances forbade mar-
riage. Both families opposed the match j
his family because they were Quakers
and could not permit a marriage " out of
society," and her family because Whittier
was poor. She rarely referred to her
early acquaintance with the poet, though
at the latter part of her life she remarked
that during that youthful acquaintance
with Whittier it seemed as if the devil
kept whispering to her, "He is only a
shoemaker !"
She was engaged with Catherine
Beecher in educational work, and finally
married an Englishman, Rev. William S.
Downey, who was an evangelist. Mr.
Downey made a crusade against Roman-
ism, and his death was caused by wounds
received from facing a New York mob.
She had no children. As is well known,
Mr. Whittier never married. In her
widowhood she corresponded with the
poet, and attended the reunion of the
scholars of the old academy in 1885*
At the reunion, as Rev. S. F. Smith said,
in her more than seventy years, and
black silk and white muslin veil, reaching
over her silvered head and down below
her shoulders, she looked just as if she
were a Romish Madonna, who had
stepped out from an old church painting.
She survived Whittier but a short time.
The frontispiece of this number of the
Antiquarian is the best likeness of her.
WILL OF THOMAS ANTRUM.
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
BY F. G. HALLECK.
When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there ;
She mingled with the gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrick of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light ;
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Flag of the free hearts' only home,
By angel-hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet !
Where breathes the foe, but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us?

NOTES.
A full account of an event at Cape Ann
implicating one Samuel Fellows, who had
commanded a vessel belonging to a mer-
chant there, is given in the Essex Ga-
zette for July 18-25, 1769. Fellows had
behaved in such a manner in the West
Indies that it was difficult for him to ren-
der a fair and just account of his trans-
actions. As an easier way of settlement
he informed the custom-house officers up-
on oath that more molasses had been
landed than was reported. The vessel was
thereupon seized; and Fellows served
the favor of the officers of the customs,
who rewarded him by giving him the
command of one of his majesty's armed
cutters of the coast guard, with the power
of making seizures. He commenced hos-
tilities against the merchants, stopping
vessels and searching them, impressing
men, etc. May 25, 1769, Deputy-sheriff
Jacob Parsons of Cape Ann had in his
custody Josiah Merril as a prisoner ; and
Fellows, then in the harbor, with four of
his men with fire-arms, cutlasses, etc.,
came on shore in a boat, and asked Mer-
ril what he was doing there. Merril re-
plied that he was in custody for debt ;
and at Fellows' request Merril broke
away from the deputy and ran toward
Fellows. The deputy commanded, in his
majesty's name, several persons to assist
in seizing and stopping his prisoner,
whom they accordingly seized. Fellows,
being within four rods from the deputy
and his assistants, ordered his four men to
fire. Two of the four men leaped upon
the beach, ran toward the deputy, and
when within two rods of him and his as-
sistants fired. The shot and ball scarcely
missed them, and entered a store within
a few inches of where they stood ; Merril
broke away and ran to the boat. Fellows'
men continued firing as they left the
shore in their boat, etc.
Thomas Jacques of Gloucester adver-
tised that his negro man Titus, about
twenty-one years old, ran away on the
night of July 18, 1769. The negro was
of middling stature, stuttered consider-
ably, and had lost part of one of his
great toes. He wore a striped jacket, a
striped woolen shirt and a pair of sheep-
skin breeches, but no hat, cap, shoes or
stockings.
John Lowell, esq., was nominated to be
a justice of the peace for the county of
Essex by the governor at Cambridge
July 12, 1769.

468. An example of the use of the
word " lugg " as a measure of distance is
found in the record of a grant of land in
Newbury to Mr. Dumer, about 1650. By
following down the title to this land it

badoes who died about 1666. There is
now living only one descendant of this
Henry Webster bearing the name of
Webster. The last male of the name was
Prof. John White Webster, who was exe-
cuted for the murder of Doctor Parkman.
A number of descendants in the female
lines are still living. I published a full
account of this family in the Genealogical
Magazine, June, 1905, page 97. They
are in no ways, so far as I know, related to
the other Websters of Essex county.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
CHARLES BROOKS AND His WORK FOR
NORMAL SCHOOLS. By John Albree.
Medford, 1907. This was a paper read
before the Medford Historical Society
May 5, 1906. Mr. Albree, with his cus-
tomary care, thoroughness and taste, has
prepared and printed this valuable and
interesting pamphlet of thirty-one oc-
tavo pages, having added to the text
four portraits of Rev. Mr. Brooks (1795-
1872), the subject of the paper, who
was the pastor of the Third church
in Hingham, but a native of Medford.
The engravings show Mr. Brooks as he
looked at several ages. Mr. Albree has
done well in letting the public know the
kind and extent of the effort put forth by
Mr. Brooks in his efforts to advance the
cause of education by having teachers
trained to teach, and finally the institu-
tion of the Normal school system.
GENEALOGY OF THE STIMPSON FAMILY
OF CHARLESTOWN, MASS., and Allied Lines.
By Charles Collyer Whittier. Boston,
1907. This volume contains the genea-
logical record of the descendants of An-
drew Steavenson or Stimson of Cambridge,
whose son Andrew Stimson removed to
Charlestown about 1678. The larger
part of the book consists of most of the
descendants of the daughters, owing to
the fact that in each of the first four gen-
erations only one male member married
and had issue. There are now living
only twenty-eight male descendants of
Andrew Steavenson, who bear the name
of Stimpson.
The volume is embellished by twelve
half-tone engravings, ten of which are
portraits. One index of names of per-
sons and another of places is given. It is
bound in cloth, contains two hundred and
six octavo pages, and is sold for $3 by the
author, whose address is 374 Blue Hill
Avenue, Roxbury, Mass. The book is
well printed, and everything in its appear-
ance indicates carefulness and accuracy.

HISTORY. Compiled by Charles A. Flagg.
Salem, 1907. This is a volume of 256
large octavo pages, two columns to a

ographic index to the literature of the
towns, cities and counties of the state, in-
cluding books, pamphlets, articles in peri-
odicals and collected works, books in
preparation, historical manuscripts, news-
paper clippings, etc.
Mr. Flagg is in the Library of Congress
in Washington, and has an excellent
chance to know what there is in the way
of local literature. He has, also, been in
correspondence with people who could in
anyway assist in making the work com-
plete.
After the sources of information rela-
tive to the whole state is given, the work
is divided into counties and. counties
authorities given, then each county is
taken up by towns alphabetically. There
are certain kinds of books and references
that are not included, as town records,
church records, and biographies of a
single subject and genealogies devoted to
one family, as the existence of such are or
can be readily known to the inquirer. In
this work are included references to un-
published manuscripts in the possession
of private persons.
The volume is published by The Salem
Press Company, Salem, Mass., and neatly
and strongly bound in cloth ; it will be
sent postpaid for $6.20.

SALEM IN J700. NO. 29.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
The map on page 160 includes that
part of South Salem, or "South fields," as
it has been called since the first settle-
ment of Salem, which is bounded on the
north and west by the channel of South
river, on the east by the harbor, and on
the south by the present Fairfield and
Lagrange streets, South fields comprises
the peninsula south of South river; and
was under the control of the proprietors
of the South fields, especially that por-
tion south of the great gate. The fields
were used in common, although the lots
were owned individually, until about 1 743.
The map is based on actual surveys and
title deeds, and is drawn on a scale of
four hundred and fifty feet to an inch. It
shows the location of all houses that were
standing there in 1700.
Stage point was so called in 1640, and
was known by that name until within a
few years. The whole of that peninsula is
now generally known as The Point.
The brace marked "a", on the map,
shows where Pond street begins; "b",
Ropes street; "c", Porter street; "d",
Cedar street; "e", Everett street; f",
Dow street; and "g", Harbor street.
When the mill was built in 1664, a
new road was laid out to it from what is
now High street.* The bridge over Forest
river, at what is now the lead mills, was
built by the towns of Salem and Marble-
head together in the winter of 1663-4 ,t
but the road from Marblehead (now the
larger portion of Lafayette street) to the
new mill bridge was not located until the
spring of 1666. It was laid out by the
committees of Marblehead and Salem;
and the following is a copy of the record
of their return e :

There was a little gate of the South
fields proprietors where it is marked on
the map near the mill ; but the great
gate in the fence that divided the com-
mon lands of the proprietors from the
lands of Ruck, Curtice and Browne was at
the entrance of the lane that led to Stage
point. The fence ran from the mill
pond to the cove of the harbor.
This main street, as shown on the map,
is now called by three names, From the
bridge at the mill, which ran over the old
dam, to the top of the hill has been
called Mill street since 1812, and proba-
bly earlier. It was called a highway in
1676 ; highway leading to Marblehead in
1765 ; and South street in 1804. That
part which is now Washington street was
called the common road or highway in
1690; highway that leads to Marblehead,
1706 ; highway leading through ye South
field, 1718 ; ye way to Marblehead, 1758 ;
road leading from Salem to Marblehead,
1760 ; South street, 1795 ; and old road
leading from mill bridge to Marblehead,
1818. That part which is now Lafayette
street was called the lane commonly
called Curtice's lane in 1694 ; highway,
1697; road leading from Salem to Mar-

blehead, 1779 ; South street, 1806; a
country road, 1810; the road leading
from the new South bridge to Marblehead,
1818 ; the public road, 1824 ; and Lafay-
ette street, 1838.
The private lane leading from the mill
past the three houses was in use very
early, at least as soon as the houses were
built. In 1735, it was called ye way on
ye top of ye hill by ye mill stream ; and
it is still in use, leading to Dodge street.
The ancient lane to Stage point was
laid out in 1678. At a meeting of the
selectmen of Salem, held 23 : 6 : 1678,
it was "Agred by the Selectmen, w th
Daniell Romball & James Polland that
there shall be a highway through ther
land in the South feild of twenty foot
wide into Stage point to be allowed one
halfe by Sd Romboll out of his land &
the other halfe out of James Polands
land/'* It was called ye way that leads
down to Stage point in 1706; and ye
highway that goes into Stage point in
1709. It was probably abandoned about
1764, and in that year it is described as
land formerly improved as a way to Stage
point.
Pond street was called New street in
1810.
Porter street was called a street leading
from Lafayette street to the mill pond in
1848 ; and Porter street in 1858. Porter
street court was called a private way in
1849.
Cedar street wa9, in 1839, a private way
recently laid out called Cedar street.
Everett street was called a way in
1831, and a forty-foot road lately laid
out in 1835.
Dow street was so called in 1807.
Harbor street was called the highway
leading from the highway leading from
Salem to Marblehead to Stage point, so
called, in 1779; the new road leading
down to Stage point, 1781 ; lane leading
from the County road to the river, 1781 ;
the road that leads down to the point,
1781 ; and Harbor street in 1800.
*Salem Town Records.
Ward street was described as land re-
served for a new street forty feet wide in
1827; and was called a new street in
1837-
Peabody street was called by that name
in 1827.
Salem street was called a street from
Harbor street lately laid out in 1806 ; a
thirty-foot way, 1806 ; and a private way
in 1828.
The water to the west of the premises
was called the South river in 1671 ; ye
mill pond, 1675; ye mill stream, 1724;
and the river, 1741. The water to the
north of the premises was called ye
South river in 1678 ; the sea, 1778 ; and
the river, 1781. The water to the east
was called ye cove in 1678 ; ye harbor,
1678 ; Salem harbor, 1690; cove coming
out of ye harbor, 1709; the sea, 1778;
South river, 1781.
In the sketches that follow, after 1700,
titles and deeds referred to pertain to
the houses and land adjoining, and not
always to the whole lot, the design being,
after that date, to give the history of the
houses then standing principally.
Grist Mill. The town of Salem grant-
ed liberty to Mr. Will Browne, Mr. Cor-
wine and Mr. Price, 29 : 9 : 1659, to
"build a GriCt-mill vppon the South
River above m r Rucks houfe were it may
be Conuenient."* The mill was not
built at this time, however. The need of
another mill was again brought before the
town, at a general town meeting held 2 :
i mo : 1662-3 ; but John Trask, in behalf
of his father, who conducted the mill on
North river, agreed to make as good meal
as at Lynn, and that when they could
not supply the town for want of water or
in any other respect, they would send it
to Lynn upon their own charge and have
it ground there, and the matter of build-
ing another mill again postponed.f Five
months later, however, at a town meeting,
held 22 : 6 : 1663, it was " ordered that
there is libertie granted for buildinge of a

mill ouer the fouth riuer neare m r Rucks."*
At a meeting of the selectmen, 8 : 8 :
1663, Walter Price, Henry Sartholmew,
John Gardner, George Gardner and Sam-
uel Gardner were given " libertie to builde
a mill ouer the south riuer neare m r
Rucks provided it be built in two yeares
or to lofe their privilidge."t The pro-
prietors of the mill proceeded to build a
dam and lay the foundations of the mill,
and John Pickering and Thomas Picker-
ing, sons of John Pickering, who then
owned the " Broadfield " of Governor
Endecott, across the river, forcibly pre-
vented the construction of the dam, and
brought an action against the said propri-
etors for damming up the channel of the
river below their land and hindering them
from coming by water to their land or im-
proving it for a building place for vessels.
At the same time (11:9 mo : 1664), the
proprietors of the mill brought an action
against Mr. Pickering "for damage to
them by pulling up the stakes that the
millwright had set downe for placeing the
mill, and throwing part of their timber
into the River and other part of it a drift,
and throwing their wheele-barrows and
other working tools into the River by
night and indeavoring after the mill was
set down to turne it into the Channel by
night, to their great damage," etc. The
actions were tried together. It was finally
agreed between Mr. Pickering and the
proprietors of the mill that Mr. Pickering
" in regard of his damage by ftoppinge
vpp the riuer belowe his lande fhall be
alowed him twentie pounds pvided that
the ppriet of the mill as aforefd fhall
haue free libertie to fett the mill where
now the dam is begun and what grounde

The mill was completed that summer.
A dwelling house was also subsequently
built for the miller to live in. See sec-
tion headed ' John Marston House "
beyond.
The mill was originally a single grist
or corn-mill, and continued to be such
until about 1720. The miller was Wil-
liam Stacey from before 1682 to his death
in 1723. Because of this fact, this place
of industry was called by his name for
several years after his decease, being
known as Stacey 's mills in 1735. Another
mill (that is, it is presumed, another set
of stones and machinery) was added
about 1720; and still another set about
1727. These three sets of stones or mills
continued in use until after the Revolu-
tion. They were known as the South
mills as early as i699,and as late as 1840.
Thomas Brewer was the miller from as
early as 1729 till as late as 1739. Thomas
Osborn was the miller in 1743 and as late
as about 1760. Daniel Malloon was the
miller in 1761, and until his death in the
spring of 1783. They were known as
Malloon's mills as late as 1831. About
1769, a "scythe mill" was added, and
also a granary, the latter being in exist-
ence in 1804. The "scythe mill" ex-
isted in 1776, but was gone before 1811.
One of the grist mills was taken out be-
fore 1827. A chocolate mill was estab-
lished in or before 1811, and run by
James Brown. It was leased by the own-
ers of the mills, for ten years from July
26, 1825, to William Micklefield, a to-
bacconist of Salem, and changed into a
snuff mill.* There was a slaughter house
upon the premises, also, in 1813. A saw
mill had been introduced about 1812,
and that was continued as long as the
mills were run. A pulverizing mill was
established in or before 1827. There
were then upon the premises two grist,
one saw, one chocolate, and one pulver-
izing mill. William Frye was the miller
in 1825, and continued until 1832 or
later. In 1832, the proprietors of the

mills were called the firm of Micklefield &
Co. There were dwelling apartments in
the mills Jan. 20, 1836, when, for a rental
of twelve hundred dollars a year, the
mills were leased for ten years from Feb.
i, 1836, by Nathaniel West, merchant,
William F. Gardner, merchant, William
Micklefield, tobacconist, John Jewett and
Elliott Smith, cabinet makers, and the
guardian of Amos F. Smith, jr., all of
Salem, owners, to said Micklefield, Jewett
and Elliott Smith, and to Jonathan A.
Kenney, all of Salem, and Thomas H.
Prime of Charlestown, house wright, the
lessees being the firm of Micklefield &
Co.* In 1837, the mills consisted of
two grist, one saw and one snuff mill. A
veneering mill was added before 1846,
and that was in use for a number of
years, the veneer being sawn from square
mahogany logs. The mills were called
the City mills as early as 1846. The snuff
mill was in existence as late as 1846, and
another of the grist mills was discontinued
between 1837 and 1846. When the pro-
prietors sold the plant to the Eastern
Railroad Company in 1854, the mills con-
sisted of a grist, veneer and upright saw
mill. The mills were run a few years
after their purchase by the railroad com-
pany.
The original proprietors were interested
in the mills in the following proportions :
Walter Price, Henry Bartholmew and
Samuel Gardner, one-quarter each, and
John Gardner and George Gardner, one-
eighth each. Major Price died in 167-,
and his interest passed to his widow and
to her children in her discretion. She
conveyed one-eighth to her daughter
Elizabeth, wife of John Ruck, and the
other eighth to her son John Croad.
George Gardner died in 1679, having
devised his one-eighth interest to his son,
Capt. Samuel Gardner. Mr. Bartholmew
was a merchant, and, as a gift, he con-
veyed his interest (one-fourth) to his
daughters Hannah, wife of Dr. John
Swinerton, and Abigail, wife of Nehemiah

THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
GEORGE PEABODY.
George Peabody was born in Peabody,
Mass., then a part of Danvers, Feb. 18,
1795, being a son of Thomas and Judith
(Dodge) Peabody, people of ordinary
means. George attended the district
school of his neighborhood, and when
twelve years old became a clerk in the
grocery store of Capt. Sylvester Proctor,
with whom he remained for three years.
He then went to Thetford, Vt., where he
lived for a year with his mateinal grand-
father, Jeremiah Dodge. A year later, he
became a clerk in the store of his brother
David Peabody, in Newburyport, Mass.,
being a clerk in that store at the time of
the great fire of 181 1. After the fire, he
decided to enter into business on his own
account, and, although but sixteen > ears
of age, he secured the credit of two
thousand dollars worth of goods from
James Reed of Boston through kindly
letters of recommendation from Prescott
Spaulding of Newburyport, who was at-
tracted by his manliness, vigor, and pre-
possessing appearance. These goods were
sold at a good profit ; subsequent credit
was easily obtained, and he soon became
a merchant of prominence.
In 1812, he engaged in business
in Georgetown, D. C., with his uncle,
Gen. John Peabody. The first con-
signment of goods made to them there
was sent by Francis Todd of Newbury-
port. He always had the most grateful
remembrances of the latter town, the
home of his true and trustful friends,
without whose confidence and aid he
would probably have been only a clerk.
In later years, he made a donation to its
public library.
His uniform affability and curtesy won
him many friends ; and he was always un-
assuming in dress and deportment. In
both social and business engagements
he was always punctual ; and his success
was simply the outcome of a well bal-
anced business mind.
He was a good conversationalist, and
an attractive writer and speaker. He
never married ; and his tastes were simple
and personal expenses small.
In 1814, when only nineteen years old,
he entered into partnership with Elisha
Riggs in Georgetown, D. C., the capital
being furnished by Mr. Riggs, and the
business being conducted by Mr. Pea-
body, who frequently took long journeys
on horseback to extend the sales of his
house. In 1815, they removed the busi-
ness to Baltimore; and, in 1822, estab-
lished branch houses at New York and
Philadelphia. The firm was eminently
successful. Upon the retirement of Mr.
Riggs, in 1830, Mr. Peabody became the
senior member of the firm, and under its
new name of Peabody, Riggs & Company
became one of the leading concerns of
the country. In the course of his busi-
ness he made several trips to Europe,
visiting London first in 1827.
In 1837, he withdrew from the firm,
and began business with others as a mer-
chant and broker, under the style of
"George Peabody & Co., of Warnford
Court, City." The firm did a banking
and general brokerage business. Again he
was successful in his operations ; and he
thus began the foundation of the large
fortune which he eventually secured.
He had great faith in the country of
his birth, and always sustained the credit
of its bonds and other securities. He car-
ried the state of Maryland through a criti-
cal financial period ; and in London, dur-
ing a time of much depression of Ameri-
can securities, he greatly helped in re-
storing confidence. He went so far in
this respect that at the close of the civil
war three-quarters of all his estate was in-
vested in national and state securities.
At the time of the great exhibition of
1851, congress failed to appropriate mon-
ey to enable the American division to be
fitted up, and the exhibitors became dis-
heartened. Mr. Peabody advanced the
large sum required, and America was
duly represented.
The list of Mr. Peabody's gifts is too
long and varied to be given here. They
cover the realms of science, religion, lit-

erature, education, and general philanthro-
py, and schools, libraries, churches and
other institutions came into existence
at his word. He wished, as far as it lay
in his power, to be his own executor.
He provided the means of fitting out
the Advance, Doctor Kane's ship, for the
Arctic voyage in search of Sir John
Franklin.
His gifts to the town of his birth, prin-
cipal for the Peabody Institute, amount
to more than two hundred thousand dol-
lars.
He gave to the Peabody Institute at
Baltimore, Maryland, one million, five
hundred thousand dollars.
In 1859, he began to execute along
cherished purpose of establishing homes
for the poor of London, England. The
tenements which he erected are occupied
by twenty thousand persons, who pay a
reasonable rent for pleasant, comfortable
homes. To this purpose he gave, in all,
two and one-half million dollars. That
was his largest foreign expenditure. His
largest American charity was a gift of
three million dollars known as the South-
ern Education Fund.
Among other donations, every Essex
county sketch of him ought to mention
his gift of one hundred and five thousand
dollars for the church and public library
in Georgetown ; one hundred and forty
thousand dollars to the Peabody Acad-
emy of Science in Salem ; twenty-five
thousand dollars to the Phillips Academy
at Andover ; fifty thousand dollars for the
Peabody Institute in Danvers ; and one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars each to
Harvard and Yale colleges.
Mr. Peabody's health began to fail
shortly before his last visit to America, in
the summer of 1869 ; and he returned to
London, where he passed away Nov. 4,
1869, at the age of seventy -four. The
highest honors were accorded him in
England and America, services being
held over his remains in Westminster
Abbey. The warship Monarch, one of
the finest ironclads in the British navy,
was ordered by Her Majesty's govern-
ment to transport the body of the dead
philanthropist to his native land. It was
convoyed by an American warship, and
also a French vessel detailed by the Em-
peror for that service. Prince Arthur ac-
companied the fleet, and attended the
funeral exercises in the South church in
Peabody, as the representative of the
queen. The burial took place, in the
midst of a great and wild snow storm, in
Harmony Grove cemetery in Salem. The
funeral oration was by Robert C. Win-
throp.
Queen Victoria had offered Mr. Pea-
body a baronetcy, but he had refused the
title, preferring to be the simple American
that he was. His choicest mementoes,
the queen's portrait, medals, etc., are in
the Peabody Institute in Peabody, where
they can be seen.
In this number of the Antiquarian is
given a profile likeness of Mr. Peabody
reproduced from Ballou's Monthly Maga-
zine for September, 1869.

JOHN AUSTIN,
The following deposition is copied from
the record in the Essex county registry of
deeds, Executions, book 3, leaf 170.
I Joseph Bradeen of Marblehead in the
County of Essex yeoman, on oath depose
testify and say that I was born in the
Town of york in the County of york that
in the year of our Lord seventeen hundred
and seventy I left that place and came to
Marblehead where I have lived ever since,
and I further Testify that I well knew
Matthew Austin of said york who was a
Respectable Farmer in said Town, he
lived within about one mile of the place
where I was born, I was about twenty
seven years old when I left york. some
years after my residence at Marblehead a
Stranger came to my house and enquired
if I knew him. I told him I did not, he
then asked me whether I did not once
belong to the Town of york, and whether
I was not acquainted with Matthew Aus-
tin of that place. I told him I was born
in york and well knew Matthew Austin of
that place. He then said that he was the
son of said Matthew and that he knew
me very well and had often seen me at
york and he well knew all my friends
there, and told me their names, and told
me whom my Sisters were married to. I
was frequently at york to see my friends,
but John Austin who was the person who
called on me, must have been quite young
and I do not recollect I ever saw him
there. He lived a number of years in
Marblehead and always went by the name
of old york. He afterwards left Marble-
head and went with his family to live in
Boston, and further your Deponent says
not. Joseph Bradeen.
Sworn to at Marblehead Dec. 16, 1819,

quest of the town of Marblehead.

IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL HISTORY.
BY DANIEL S. DURRIE.
There are few branches of knowledge
whose importance has been so generally and
justly extolled, as that of history. From
the days of Cicero, who proclaimed it to
be " the light of truth, the life of memory
and the preceptress of life," the world has
been accustomed to hear its praises and
listen to the recital of its powers. History
has been justly termed "philosophy teach-
ing by example," and in a broad sense
"the whole past course of humanity from
the first moment of its existence to the
present hour."
The love of history seems inseparable
from human nature. It is natural for
man to preserve as far as is in his power
the memory of those of his own time and
of those that preceded it. Rude heaps
of stone and earth have been raised and
ruder hymns or rythmes have been com-
posed by nations who had not yet the use
of arts and letters. An application of
the study of history that does not tend to
make us better men and better citizens is
at least but an ingenious sort of idleness ;
and the knowledge thus acquired is at
best a creditable kind of ignorance. The
study of history, however, of all others is
the most proper to train us up to private
and public virtue.
Important, however, and instructive as
is the narrative of past events and the in-
fluence they have exerted on the world in
civilization and refinement, history is sel-
dom so interesting as when descending
from the loftier and more splendid regions
of general narration, it dwells for a while
in an humbler place, and delights in the
details of events of every-day life, and of
the history of the people.
" The struggles of empires and the con-
vulsions of nations," says a writer, "while
they have much of sublimity have also
much of uncertainty and indistinctness.
They are too large for the grasp of ordi-
nary minds, or too indefinite to act on
common sensibilities ; while the interests
awakened by the details of local history
are such as from the facility of compre-
IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL HISTORY.
hension and the identity of the objects
presented, must necessarily come home
at once to the feelings of every reader.
They place us by the firesides, or walk
with us among the graves of our fathers,
attaching a living story to the thousand
inanimate objects with which they are
surrounded.' '
Under all forms of government, in this
country, whether colonial, provincial or
republican, many important measures
have been submitted to the primary as-
semblies of the people to be examined
and acted on by them. Thus we find in
the revolutionary war, in particular, towns
and parishes not only expressed their opin-
ion on many subjects connected with that
event, but they actually exercised much
of the jurisdiction of a national govern-
ment in prosecuting that war. How these
small corporations organized solely for
municipal or parochial purposes, transact-
ed that business in that war, as well as the
more subsequent ones, in procuring sol-
diers, stores and the means for carrying
them forward is well known.
"The great object of local history,"
says Mr. Shattuck, " is to furnish the first
elements of general history, to record facts
rather tnan deductions from facts. In
these small settlements dotted over this
country (as well as others) are to be
found many of the first moving causes
which operate upon and revolutionize
public opinion. Many facts, minute in
themselves, and regarded by many as
trivial and unimportant, are really of great
service. The details, which it is the ap-
propriate province of the local historian
to spread before the public, are not so
much history itself as materials for history.
It is the work of the general historian,
who has before him all the particulars of
the great natural and political landscape,
to exhibit the connection of the several
parts and to show how they depend one
upon another in bringing about the great
changes which have been taking place
and affecting the condition of society."
No people in the world can have so
great an interest in the history of their
i8 5
country as that of the United States ; for
there are none who enjoy an equally great
share in their country's historical acts.
John Quincy Adams once made a re-
mark which contains a world of truth :
"That posterity delights in details." And
it is highly creditable to the intelligence
of the American people, that so much of
the early history of the towns and villagei
of the country has been written, and
nothing comes closer to the sensibilities
of the people than the details of events
that occured when their fathers or ances-
tors were on the field of action and took
their part in building up their several
locations. This attachment to our homes
is a wise provision of Divine economy.
It is eminently proper that every person
should entertain a particular attachment
to the place where he was born, and
where he has made his home. Change of
location does not always wean the affec-
tion away from the old fireside. By the
aid of memory we are privileged to call
back the early bygone scenes, and appre-
ciate the lessons we received that had so
important a bearing on our subsequent
life.
To trace the history of our ancestors,
and transmit a record of their deeds to
posterity, is a duty we owe to the past
and to the future. Such a record must
be preserved as invaluable by the immedi-
ate descendants and kindred of those who
once lived and acted where they now do,
and whose ashes repose in their soil, and
it cannot be without interest to those who
have gone out from their kindred to dwell
in other parts of the country, nor to those
who have come to dwell in the habitations
made vacant by the removal or death of
the original occupants. What the present
place of our residence once was, who
originally occupied it and by what means
and by whom it has become what it now
is are questions which can be answered
only by minute topographical history.
This work, however, must be done
from unselfish motives. It is useless to
disguise the fact that the labor of collect
ing the materials and preparing the same

for publication, brief and imperfect as
they may be, is one of magnitude. No
one until he has tried the experiment
can fully appreciate the labor and pa-
tience which are requisite in connecting
isolated facts, and the perplexity which is
caused in reconciling apparent contra-
dictions and removing doubts. Such kind
of labor is never remunerative, but the
consciousness of having redeemed from
undeserved neglect the history of our
homes and of our forefathers, and rescu-
ing from oblivion many facts which would
otherwise have been lost, will be a source
of gratification if no other reward is
received.
We wish we could suitably impress the
importance of this subject on the atten-
tion of the people.

THE OLD HOME.
BY EBEN E. REXFQRD.
It stands in a desolate, weed-grown garden,
Where once the rose and the lilac grew,
And the lily lifted a waxen chalice
To catch the wine of the summer's dew.
The grass creeps in o'er the mossy threshold,
The dust lies deep on the rotting floor,
And the wind at will is coming, going
Through broken window and open door.
O poor old house, do you grieve as men do
For the vanished things that were yours of yore,
Like a heart in whom love was one time tenant,
But has gone away to come back no more?
Do you dream of the dead as the days pass over?
, Of the pang pf parting and joy of birth
In hearts turned dust? Ah, that dust is scattered
By winds of lifetimes to. the ends of earth!
See ! Here by the path is one little blossom!
It lifts to the sunshine a fragile face.
It springs from a root that some dead hand
planted
A century back in the dear home place.
Little thought they whom the old house sheltered
That life would fade as the leaves that fall.
They had their day and are quite forgotten
The little flower has outlived them all !

A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND
ITS PEOPLE. By Elroy McKendree
Avery. Volume III. Cleveland, O.,
1907. This is the third volume of Doc-
tor Avery's work on the history of the na-
tion, which he has been preparing for a
quarter of a century. This volume con-
tains 446 pages, and is even better in
every way, if possible, than the preceding
ones. There are more illustrations, cov-
ering a greater variety of subjects, but
the beautiful artistic effect of the me-
chanical execution of the first volumes it
is difficult to surpass. The illustrations
delight the antiquarian and historian as
well as the general reader, and almost every
page has portraits, maps, or other engrav-
ings. The frontispiece is a bust portrait
of William Penn. Comprehensively, the
engravings also include portraits of Ed-
ward Hyde, John Locke, Sir George Car-
teret, Anthony Ashley Cooper, George
Monk, Henry Morgan, Lord Culpepper,
Lord Howard, Charles Calvert, Augustine
Herman, James II., Sir Edmund Andros,
Josiah Winslow, Simon Bradstreet,Charles
II., Thomas Thacher, Isaac Jogues, Bish-
op Laval, Jacques Marquette, Queen Mary
II., King William, King Louis XIV.,
Queen Anne, Robert Walpole, Thomas
Pelham Holies, King George I., William
Rhett, James Logan, Earl of Bellomont,
Peter Schuyler, Isaac Addington, Increase
Mather, William Stoughton, Samuel Sew-
all, Joseph Dudley, Cotton Mather, Fitz-
John Winthrop, and many other portraits,
maps, seals, autographs, title pages, doc-
uments, coats of arms, coins, buildings,
flags, etc. The printing of the maps in
colors enables many points to be brought
out with perfect clearness, which would
be impossible in black and white. The
typography is in correspondence with the
former volumes, being exceptionally pleas-
ing ; and we would again express our ad-
miration of this beautiful work, so sump-
tuous as well as substantial in all its parts.
The scheme of the work is what is
known as the horizontal method of pre-
senting history. Doctor Avery carries
along the history of each section of the
country at once. This is done by writing
it in chronological periods. This is the
only way, in our opinion, that history of
this kind should be written, as contempo-
raneousness is a most important factor hi
the understanding of the occurrences and
situations of a complex history.
This volume covers a period which is
more familiar and therefore more inter-
esting to the general reader than those
previously issued. The years included
are from 1660 to 1745, the period be-
tween active colonization and the final
struggle for the conquest of New France.
It is the neglected period of American
history, and lacks many of the dramatic
characteristics of the times preceding and
succeeding it. Much new matter is in-
troduced, and a new interest in this peri-
od of our history will arise from this
presentation.
Doctor Avery is entirely unprejudiced
in his statements, insisting upon the truth
in each instance, in many cases making
original investigations to learn the actual
facts in controverted cases, and aiways
consulting the best authorities. His sim-
ple, lucid and graphic style makes his
chapters interesting aside from the intrin-
sic attractiveness of the subject matter.
The work is to be issued in fifteen vol-
umes, and the price for the edition in
cloth binding is $6.25 net. The publish-
ers are The Burrows Brothers Company,
Cleveland, Ohio.

ember, 1660, the town voted that the
land " behind the meeting house should
be reserved for a burial ground; "the
dead probably having been buried there
previously. The following are all the

Dear friends, be careful how you live.
THE OLD BRICK OVEN.
BY JOHN S. ADAMS.
I remember the pasture bespangled with posies,
The wide spreading field, gay with tassels of
corn,
The hedge, where in childhood I sought the wild
roses,
And the old-fashioned farmhouse in which I
was born.
I recall the quaint dresser, the long, high-backed
settle,
Whereon the whole family sat in a row ;
The pot-hooks and trammels, the crane and the
kettle,
And that famous brick oven we had long ago.
A certain tin plate in my memory lingers,
Kept erect on the hearth by a flatiron prop,
Containing a cake made by dexterous fingers
And skillfully spread with a well-managed flop !
'Twas constructed of meal, if I am not mis-
taken,
Of mixed "rye 'n' injun they fashioned the
dough ;
But it didn't compare with the choice weekly
baking
From that famous brick oven we had long ago.
And when round the table we gathered next
morning,
No victuals appeared that were bought at the
store ;
But beans that crisp pork like a crown was adorn-
And luscious brown bread, flanked by pudding
galore;
For those beans on the summit, so brown and
inviting,
And the whey in that pudding we youngsters
would go;
Ob, those glorious breakfasts of which I am
writing
From that famous brick oven we had long ago.
Prate to me nevermore of your new-fangled
ranges,
Each dealer in stoves in the East and the West,
On his stock is eternally ringing the changes,
And every one vows that his own is the best.
26
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
I'm weary of cities ; of people mendacious,
Whose rickety bakers' carts dash to and fro,
And I sigh for the farmhouse, the fireplace spa-
cious,
And that famous brick oven we had long ago.

SALEM IN J700. NO. 30.*
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
The map on the opposite page represents
that part of South field in Salem which is
bounded by Fairfield and Holly streets,
the harbor and South river. It is based
on actual surveys and title deeds, and is
drawn on a scale of four hundred and
fifty feet to an inch. There were no
houses standing upon the premises in
1700.
The dotted lines running across the
western end of the map show the location
of Canal street, along the western side of
which is the location of the Boston and
Maine Railroad. The braces marked " a "
show where the present Lafayette street
runs ; those marked " b," where Fairfield
street begins ; " c," Lagrange street ;
"d," West lane; " e," Gardner street;
" f," Hancock street ; " g," Roslyn street ;
" h," Holly street ; and " i," Leach street.
The highway shown on the map was laid
out from Salem to Marblehead in i666,and
the present Lafayette street was laid out
in 1800 ; the old road being discontinued.
The old road was called the highway
through the South field in 1683 ; ye coun-
try road, 1690; road leading to Marble-
head, 1742; and the highway leading
from Salem to Marblehead in 1787. The
new road was called South street as early
as 1806, and until the visit of Lafayette
in 1824, when the name was changed to
*Change the words "lead mills" to "Mar-
blehead pumping station " on page 158 of The
Essex Antiquarian , volume XI.
Lafayette street, by which name it has
since been known.
Canal street was laid out in 1890.
That portion of Lafayette street south
of the engine house was laid out in 1800 ;
and that part north in 1 805 .
Lagrange street was laid out as a pub-
lic way in 1858.
West lane was so laid out in 1903,
though it had been a private way for
several years.
Gardner street was laid out as a public
way from Lafayette street to Cabot street
in 1854; and to the railroad location in
1870.
Hancock street was laid out as a public
way from Lafayette street to Cabot street
in 1856 ; and to the railroad in 1870.
Roslyn street was laid out as early as
1860; being laid out as a public highway
the next year.
Holly street is mentioned as early as
1854.
Leach street was there in 1806, though
it was laid out as a public way in 1859.
The harbor was called the harbor in
1669 ) 7 e sea > ^90 ; Stage point cove or
harbor, 1692 ; ye sea or salt water, 1695 ;
Salem harbor, 1728 ; ye South river, 1734 ;
ye South harbor, 1761 ; and Salem South
river, 1795.
The South river was called ye mill
pond from the mill that was built in 1666,
and ye river yt goes up to Castle hill,
1669.
Samuel Archer Lot. This lot originally
belonged to Samuel Archard, sr., and he
apparently conveyed the eastern end to
James Underwood and the western part
to George Emery of Salem before 1662.
These men apparently released it to
Samuel Archer before 1692, as John
Marston and John Pickering deposed,
Feb. 8, 1715-6, that Samuel Archer had
possessed, sowed, planted and mowed
this lot since before 1692.*
John Robinson Lot. This lot originally
belonged to Samuel Archard, and to
George Emery of Salem Aug. 23, 1662,
*Essex Registry of Deeds, book 28, leaf 83.
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
when he conveyed it to George Keazer of
Salem, tanner.* Mr. Keazer died in
1690, and when his real estate was di-
vided, Oct. 12, 1694, this lot became the
estate of his son, John Keazer of Haver-
hill, tanner.f For twenty-one pounds,
John Keazer conveyed it to John Robin-
son of Salem, tailor, April 3, 16954 Mr.
Robinson owned it until 1706.
Eleazer Keazer Lot. This lot origi-
nally belonged to Samuel Archard, and
to George Emery of Salem Aug. 23,
1662, when he conveyed it to George
Keazer of Salem, tanner.* Mr. Keazer
died in 1690, and in the division of his
real estate, Oct. 12, 1694, this lot became
the property of his son Eleazer Keazer,
who owned it in 1700.
John Robinson Lot. Richard Prince,
sr., of Salem, owned this lot in 1662, and
died possessed of it in 1675, having de-
vised it to his son Richard Prince of
Salem, who conveyed it to John Robinson
of Salem, tailor, March 28, i688. Mr.
Robinson owned it until 1706.
Stephen Daniel Lot. Richard Prince,
sr., of Salem, owned this lot in 1662, and
died, possessed of it, in 1675, having de-
vised it to his son Richard Prince of
Salem. Apparently the latter conveyed
it, before 1688, to Stephen Daniel, who
owned it as late as 1700.
James Hardy Lot. This lot belonged
to Joseph Hardy as early as 1675. He
died in 1688, having devised it to his
son James Hardy, who owned it in
1700.
John Cromwell Lot. This lot originally
belonged to William Lord, sr., of Salem,
cutler, who conveyed it to Richard Prince
of Salem April 14, i668.|| Mr. Prince
died in 1675, having devised it to his son
Samuel Prince of Salem, tailor, who, for
fourteen pounds, conveyed it to John
Cromwell of Salem, slaughterer, Feb. 15,
* Essex Registry of Deeds, book 2, leaf 58.

1682-3.* Mr. Cromwell died possessed
of the lot in 1700. It was then appraised
at sixteen pounds, and is described in the
inventory as being near Capt. Gardner's
land.
Stephen Daniel and Mary Dean Lot.
This lot originally belonged to William
Lord, sr., of Salem, cutler, who conveyed
it to Richard Prince of Salem April 14,
i668.f Mr Prince died in 1675, having
devised it to his son Joseph Prince. The
latter died in 1678, having devised it to
his brother Jonathan Prince and the two
children of his brother Stephen Daniel,
Stephen Daniel and Mary Dean. In the
inventory of the estate of Joseph Prince
this lot was appraised at twenty pounds.
Apparently, Jonathan Prince released his
interest in the lot to the other two owners
before 1685, when he died; and the latter
were apparently its owners in 1700.
Daniel Bacon Lot. This lot originally
belonged to William Lord, sr., of Salem,
cutler, who conveyed it to Richard Prince
of Salem April 14, i668.f Mr. Prince
died in 1675, having devised it to his son
Jonathan Prince of Salem, cordwainer,
who conveyed it to Thomas Maule of
Salem, shopkeeper, July 30, 16814 Mr.
Maule conveyed it to John Lambert, sr.,
of Salem, mariner, Oct. 14, i69O. For
fifteen pounds, Mr. Lambert conveyed it
to his son-in-law Daniel Bacon, jr., of
Salem, shipwright, March 2, 1 695-6 ;||
and Mr. Bacon owned it until 1733.
John Pickering Lot. This lot belonged
to Joseph Hardy as early as 1668. He
died in 1688, having devised this lot to
his son James Hardy ; but William Hardy
(was James called William here?) and his
mother Martha Hardy (James Hardy's
mother) conveyed it to John Pickering,
jr., of Salem March 10, 1691-2.^" Mr.
Pickering owned it in 1700.

WILL OF MRS. MARY MILLER.
33
Samuel Robinson Lot. This lot be-
longed to Joseph Hardy as early as 1668.
He died in 1688, having devised it to his
son William Hardy, who, with his mother
Martha Hardy conveyed the lot, for seven
pounds and ten shillings, to Samuel Rob-
inson, jr., of Salem, laborer, Dec. 14,
1695.* Mr. Robinson owned it in 1700.
Alice Pickering Lot. This lot early
belonged to William Allen of Manchester,
carpenter, and, 9 : 4 mo: 1652, he con-
veyed it to John Bridgeman of Salem.t
Mr. Bridgeman died in 1655, when he
devised his estate to Mr. Curwin, in sat-
isfaction of his claim, and what remained
to the deceased's daughter Mary, who
subsequently married a Smith. William
Flint of Salem owned the lot when he
died in 1673, it being appraised at six
pounds. Mr. Flint's widow, Alice Flint,
who had a life estate therein, conveyed the
lot to her daughter Alice Pickering, " for
her great trouble, cost & charge in keep-
ing & maintaining me, 7 ' Aug. 22, 16964
Mrs. Pickering owned it in 1700;
Palil Mansfield Lot. This lot may
have belonged to Hugh Laskin very early,
and later to Timothy Laskin. It belonged
to Paul Mansfield of Salem at the time of
his death, in the summer of 1696. He
devised it to his son Paul Mansfield.
There was some marsh at the western end
of the lot. Paul Mansfield, jr., was a
mariner, and lived in Salem. He owned
the lot until Dec. 9, 1701.
The Deacons Marsh. Evidence rela-
tive to the Deacons Marsh is rather vague.
It was apparently laid out to the deacons
of the church here in their official capac-
ity for their benefit, perhaps for the sup-
port of the communion table. It was so
called as early as 1668 and as late as
1812. No record of its sale by any one
has been found as yet.
Sarah Williams Lot. This quarter-acre
of salt marsh belonged to Thomas Brown-
ing quite early. He died in the spring of
1671, having devised his real estate to his
Essex Registry of Deeds, book n, leaf 75.
Essex Registry of Deeds, book i, leaf 18.
\ Essex Registry of Deeds, book 14, leaf 88.
daughters, Sarah, wife of Joseph Williams,
and Deborah, wife of Isaac Meachum. By
an agreement of division between these
sisters and their husbands, dated 17:2:
1675, this lot of marsh was assigned to
Sarah Williams.! She owned it as late as
1719.

SPINNING BEE.
Linebrook, Auguft 17, 1769.
On Tuefday the isth Inftant, thirteen
young Ladies, belonging to this Parifh,
met at the Houfe of the Rev. Mr. George
Leflie, on the Defign of a Spinning
Match. Several of the Ladies bro't their
Materials with them: Part whereof was
their own Bounty, or that of the Families
to which they belonged ; and Part, the
Bounty of other generoufly difpofed Per-
fons in the Neighbourhood.
One of thefe young Ladies carded the
whole of the Day ; and of the other twelve,
fome carded and fpun, and others only
fpun. When the Produce of their Induf-
try came to be computed at Night, it
amounted to 28 Run and 8 Knots; all
which they generoufly prefented, as a
Gift, to the Family where they were affem-
bled. Two of thefe Ladies fpun 70
Knots each, one carded and fpun 38
Knots : Upon an Average, the Amount
of their Induftry was between 47 and 48
Knots to each Perfon. The Yarn is all
excellent good, ftrong and even fpun ; fit
in every Refpect to anfwer the purpofes
for which it was defigned. One young
Lady, who was detained at home by the
foulnefs of the Weather, has fince pre-
fented the Fruit of her Induftry, which
makes the whole to amount to upwards of
30 Run. After the Labours of the Day were
finifhed, the Rev'd Mr. Lefslie entertained
the Spinners, and a Number of others of
both sexes, who met at his Houfe upon
that Occafion, with a Difcourfe on the
Duty of referring all our Actions, in the
common Bufinefs of Life as well as in the
Duties of Religion, to the Glory of God,
from Proverbs, iii. Ch. 6 v. In all thy
Ways acknowledge kirn, and he fhall di-
rect thy Paths.

OLD POOR TAVERN, NEWBURY.
This old homestead of the Poors was
situated on Newbury Neck, on the origi-
nal main thoroughfare from Boston to
Portsmouth, and about a quarter of a
mile from the southerly end of Paricer
River bridge.
The house originally consisted of one
square room on the ground floor and a
chamber above it, the chimney being on
the eastern end. The inside of the house
remained in an unfinished condition. It
was built by John Poor, the immigrant,
about 1650, and he lived here ntil
he was frozen to death, while lost in the
forest, in November, 1684.
The next occupant of the homestead
was his son John Poor, who died Feb. 15,
1700-1.
It was next owned and occupiei by
the latter's son Jonathan Poor, who built
on the eastern end an addition as large
as the original house, the new part being
that end nearest the front of the picture,
which is the frontispiece of this num-
ber of The Antiquarian. Subsequently,

he added the leanto ; and died June 30,
1742.
The next occupant was Jonathan Poor's
son John Poor, who kept the ferry over
Parker River where the bridge now stands,
and continued as ferryman until 1758,
when the bridge was built. He added
the ell to the house, probably for the
ferry office. John Poor died here Sept
i5> 1783-
The homestead was next owned and
occupied by John Poor's son Capt. Jona-
than Poor, who conducted a tavern here,
probably having in the ell his sample
room, where " whistles " could be wet
or warmed. The old swinging tavern
sign is in the possession of the Newbury-
port Marine Society.
This was the half-way house between
Rowley and Newburyport ; and Captain
Poor continued the business of an inn-
keeper until 1806, when the opening of
the Boston and Newburyport Turnpike
drew the through travel to the new route.
Captain Poor died March 19, 1807.
The next occupant was Captain Poor's
son Samuel Poor ; and he died July 1 7,
1849.
The house was then occupied by the
fetter's son Samuel Poor, esq., who died
June 6, 1878; and he was succeeded by
his son Alfred Poor.
The old house was taken down in the
spring of 1890; and a new house was
built upon the same site. This is one of
the rare instances where a homestead re-
mained in the same family for eight gen-
erations.

Edward Renouf of Marblehead adver-
tised that he intended to sail for Jersey by
the first of September.
NEWBURY-PORT, Auguft 9, 1769.
Yefterday the Reverend Mr. JOHN
MURRAY, left this Town, accompanied
by a Number of Gentlemen, to Haverhill ;
and from thence intends for Bofton, in
order to return to the Eaftern Country.
He has preached every Day for ten Days
paft, to vaft Numbers of People, from
Five to Ten Thoufand at a time, and once
was obliged to preach in the open Field,
at Mr. Lefley's Pariih, the Concourfe of
People being fo great : his laft Difcourfe
was delivered at the Rev. Mr. Marfh's
Meeting Houfe. A confiderable Number
of the Clergy attended his Preaching ; and
perhaps no one was ever more univerfally
approved of in this Country. Prejudice,
Bigotry, and Uncharitablenefs feem'd to
be wholly laid afide. As to any Reports
being propagated, that this Gentleman
forces himfelf into other Mens Labours,
it is far otherwife ; he rather has a hap-
py Talent in healing than making Divi-
fions.

THE OLD FARMER AND His ALMANACK.
By George Lyman Kittredge. Boston,
1904.
This volume will delight many readers,
especially those who turn over the leaves
of old almanacs, expecting something in-
teresting to turn up. This book contains
the pith of the Robert Bailey Thomas al-
manacs since he published the first, for
1793. Mr. Thomas was of Welsh descent,
and born at Graf ton, Mass., April 24,
1766. He died in West Boylston May
19, 1846, at the age of four-score. Two
portraits of him are given in this volume.
The principal chapters are devoted to
a sketch of Mr. Thomas, the man of the
signs, artistic embellishment, wit and wis-
dom of the farmer's calendar, etc. The
engravings are quite numerous, being sev-
eral title-pages of almanacs, cuts at the
head of the calendar pages, Father Time,
reproductions of miscellaneous illustra-
tions of the almanacs, specimen pages,
etc.
This volume contains four hundred and
three octavo pages, bound, and finely got-
ten up. It is published by William Ware
& Co., Boston, the publishers of the al-
manacs.
MATTAPOISETT AND OLD ROCHESTER,
MASSACHUSETTS. New York, 1907.
This is a volume of four hundred and
twenty-four small octavo pages, bound in
cloth. It contains the history of the
towns of Mattapoisett and Old Rochester
and also, in part, of Marion and a portion
of Wareham ; having been prepared un-
der the direction of a committee of the
town of Mattapoisett. From ancient
Rochester, Marion was set-off in 1852
and Mattapoisett in 1857. In this book,
is given a very complete history of Roches-
ter down to 1857 and since that date the
history of Mattapoisett.
The writers of the book are Mary Hall
Leonard, Lemuel LeBaron Dexter, James
S. Burbank, Lester W. Jenney, Mary
Frances Briggs and the late Hon. Lemuel
LeBaron Holmes. Many extracts from
the records of the towns and of the
churches are given, to the great assistance
and delight of the genealogist and histo-
rian.
Mattapoisett was long a thriving fishing
and shipbuilding village, and as a town it
flourished in its farming and marine in-
terests ; but it is to-day a summer resort,
the sound of the shipbuilder's hammer
having ceased.
Many engravings, most of them fine
half-tones, add to the interest and value
of the volume. They consist of maps,
historic places, scenery, the harbor, vil-
lages, houses, meeting-houses, the com-
mon, streets, town house academy, por-
trait of Rev. Thomas Robbins, ship Niger,
bark Sunbeam, schoolhouses, old engine
house, etc
The volume is interestingly written, and
its mechanical execution is fine. It is
is published by The Graf ton Press, 70
Fifth Avenue, New York City, and the
price is two dollars net. If it is to be
sent by mail fifteen cents must be added
for postage.

RIDING IN OLDEN TIMES.
IN the earliest years of this colony,
travel by land was on foot. Various
records give details of travelling in this
way. In 1631, Governor Winthrop, Cap-
tain Underhill and other officers, went on
foot from Boston to Saugus, and the next
day to Salem. In 163 5, Roger Williams
undoubtedly walked to what is now Rhode
Island. In 1637, Governor Winthrop,
with a large escort, passed through Salem
on foot, on his way to and from Ipswich.
The first settlements being along the
water front, on bays or rivers, the earliest
means of conveyance was the boat, the
dugout or canoe. The water was as pre-
pared for travel then as it is now, where-
as in the surrounding forest paths fit for
horseback riding were not in existence,
even though horses had been at hand.
The boat has always been a favorite

selected course. Men rode astride, but
women and children usually sat upon a
pillion behind the men. Thus a family
proceeded to church or market or went
on a visit.
The first vehicles used for riding were
probably heavy sleds, drawn by horses or
oxen. These were very advantageous in
getting about during the long winters,
when snow deeply covered the ground.
The first sleighs made and used here were
really small sleds with a top, high-backed,
containing a seat. The back and seat
combined had the appearance of a small
settle which was used before the hearth
The chair, or chaise, as it was later
exclusively called, came into use here
just prior to the Revolution. Some of
these carriages were made, subsequently,
so that the top could be tipped back.
The frontispiece of this number of the
Antiquarian represents a fine specimen
of the old-fashioned " shay," or chaise.
It is a photograph of the chaise in the
museum of the Essex Institute at Salem.
It is in excellent condition, and might
well have been the subject of the poem
by Oliver Wendell Holmes, entitled " The
Deacon's Masterpiece," or " The One-
Horse Shay:"
AN OLD-FASHIONED TEAM.
fire. But those vehicles have evolved into
the beautifully painted and dainty sleighs
of to-day.
The earliest wheel vehicle for riding,
which the writer has found noticed, is the
calash. One of them was advertised to
be let by Henry Sharp, proprietor of the
tavern called the " Sign of the Galley,"
in Salem, in 1701. This was a light car-
riage, with a hood, and low wheels.
The following engraving illustrates a
type of wagon which was commonly used
very early, and could be seen on the
roads, especially by farmers going to
market, as late as fifty years ago.
" He would build one shay to beat the taown
'n the keountry 'n all the kentry raoun' ;
It should be so built that it couldn' break daown :
" Fur," said the Deacon, " 't's mighty plain
Thut the weakes' place mus' stan' the strain;
'n' the way t' fix it, uz I maintain, is only jest
T 1 make that place uz strong uz the rest."
So the Deacon inquired of the village folk
Where he could find the strongest oak,
That could n't be split nor bent nor broke,
That was for spokes and floor and sills;
He sent for lance wood to make the thills ;
The crossbars were ash, from the straightest trees,
The panels of white-wood, that cuts like cheese,
But lasts like iron for things like these;
The hubs of logs from the "Settler's ellum,"-
Last of its timber, they couldn't sell 'em,
Never an axe had seen their chips,
And the wedges flew from between their lips,
RIDING IN OLDEN TIMES.
Their blunt ends frizzled like celery-tips;
Step and prop-iron, bolt and screw,
Spring, tire, axle, and linch-pin loo,
Steel of the finest, bright and blue;
Thoroughbrace bison -skin, thick and wide;
Boot, top, dasher from tough old hide
Found in the pit when the tanner died.
That was the way he " put her through,"
" There !" said the Deacon, " naow she'll dew !"
The sulky, which was then very light
and held only one person, was also in use
prior to the Revolution.
The curricle, also in use here at that
time, was an open two-wheeled carriage,
drawn by a span of hosses. This kind of
vehicle had been used probably for many
years, as, in 1771, John Adams, afterward
president of the United States, wrote in
the driver. This made weekly trips be-
tween Boston and Portsmouth, passing
through Lynn, Salem, Ipswich and New-
bury, in 1761. In 1763, Bartholomew
Stavers of Portsmouth began to run over
the same route, a stage coach, drawn by
four or six horses, and carrying six per-
sons inside. In 1768, Benjamin Coats,
landlord of the Ship tavern, in Salem,
gave notice that he had bought a " new
stage chaise," which would be run be-
tween Salem and Boston on week days.
He already had one chaise in commis-
sion. In 1770, Benjamin Hart adver-
tised that he had " left riding the single
horse post between Boston and Ports-
mouth, and now drives the post stage
THE STAGE COACH.
his diary, that when riding the circuit of
the courts, on the way from Maiden to
Lynn, he "Overtook judge Gushing in
his old curricle with lean horses, and
Dick, his negro, at his right hand, driving
the curricle." Some of these carriages
were made so that the top could fall
back.
The first coach that the writer has
found mentioned was one owned by the
Hon. William Browne, of Salem, who
built the great mansion on Folly hill.
This was a close four-wheeled carriage
with seats at both ends.
The first public conveyance in Essex
county was a " large stage," drawn by
two horses, and carrying four persons and
lately improved by John Noble. He sets
out from Boston every Friday morning
and from Portsmouth on Tuesday morn-
ing following. The above conveyance has
been found very useful, and now more so,
as there is another curricle improved by
J. S. Hart, who sets off from Portsmouth
the same day this does from Boston, by
which opportunity offers twice a week for
travellers to either place." In 1774,
Maj. Ezra Lunt began running a weekly
stage between Boston and Newburyport.
About 1796, Benjamin Hale of New-
buryport, the proprietor of a stage, im-
proved the springs of stages, and invented
the trunk rack. Chaises were built in
Newburyport in 1776 by Moses Brown;
THE ESSEX ANTIQUARIAN.
and stage coaches were subsequently
made in Salem.
Stage companies were formed, and
turnpikes, to facilitate through travel,
came into existence in 1803 and 1804.
These corporations, both of stage lines
and turnpikes, went out of being when
steam railroads came into use about
1840.
The departure of the old stage led one
to write of their disappearance many
years ago, as follows :
" Never again shall we gather at the
cottage gate, as the clatter of wheels and
the cloud of dust approach, to welcome
the aged parent, the coming guest,
the daughter home from school. Never
again shall we linger in the open doorway
of a New England homestead, in tender
parting with the young son setting out for
sea, or on some distant westward venture,
to speed the lovers starting together on
the life-long journey, never again cast
longing glances after that receding freight
of dear ones, until at last the winding
road and over-hanging elm trees part us,
and we sit sadly down to listen,
" While faint from farther distance borne
Are heard the clanging hoof and horn !"
Never again will the midnight watcher by
the silent bedside hear the mail-stage ar-
rive and go, leaving its messages of love
and sorrow for the sleeping townsfolk and
sing, with Hannah Gould,
" 'The rattling of that reckless wheel
That brings the bright or boding seal
To crown thy hopes or end thy fears,
To light thy smiles or draw thy tears,
As line on line is read.'
" Famous levelers were these old stage
coaches and masters in etiquette also !
What chance-medley of social elements
they brought about ! What infinite attri-
tion of human particles, what jostling of
ribs and elbows, what contact incon-
venient, nose to nose ! What consequent
rounding and smoothing of angles and
corners, what a test of good-nature,
what a tax on forbearance, what a school
of mutual consideration ! For how else
could a dozen passengers consent to be
boxed up and shaken together for a day,
but upon condition that each was to ex-
hibit the best side of his nature and that
only?
" To the next generation the old stage
coach will be as shadowy and unreal a
thing as were those which appeared, mus-
ty and shattered, to the uncle of the one-
eyed Bagman in Pickwick, while he dozed
at midnight in the Edinboro' court-yard. 7 '

SALEM IN J700. NO. 3J.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.
The map opposite represents that
part of Salem lying between the harbor
on the east and the creek and marsh on
the west, and between Leach street on the
north to a point a few rods south of Clif-
ton avenue. It is based on actual sur-
veys and title deeds, and is drawn on a
scale of four hundred and fifty feet to an
inch. No houses were standing on this
territory in 1700.
The highway through this section, as
shown on the map, was laid out in 1666,
as stated in preceding articles, from Salem
to Marblehead. It was called the high-
way very early; the highway that leads
toward Marblehead, 1723; the highway
that goes through the south field, 1728;
and Lafayette street in 1824.
The dotted lines show the location of
many of the present streets. The brace
marked " a " represents the beginning of
Laurel street; "b," Willow avenue;
*c," Ocean avenue; and those marked
" d," Lafayette street.
Cliff street was laid out and accepted
in 1900.
Clifton avenue was originally a narrow
path leading from the main highway to the
water at Forest River park ; and was laid
out as a public highway from Lafayette
street to Summit avenue in 1885, being
extended easterly in 1890.
Eden street was laid out in 1870.
Forest avenue was laid out from Lafay-
ette street to Park avenue in 1880.
Glendale street was laid out in 1887.
Green street was laid out from Leach
to Eden street in 1870, and extended to
Messervy street in 1888.
Hazel street was laid out in 1869.
Holly street was accepted in 1875.
Laurel street was laid out in 1871.
Linden street was laid out from Holly
to Laurel street in 1864, and subsequently
extended.
Meadow avenue was laid out in 1871.
Messervy street was laid out in 1871.
Ocean avenue was laid out from Lafay-
ette street to Park avenue in 1870, and
extended to tbe railroad in 1872.
Summit avenue was laid out from Leach
street to Ocean avenue in 1870, and ex-
tended to Clifton avenue in 1886.
Willow avenue was laid out in 1871.
Wisteria street was laid out in 1897.
The water on the east was called ye
harbor in 1658 ; the South harbor, 1666 ;
ye water or harbor, 1669 ; Salem harbor,
1686 ; and ye harbor or salt water in
1696.

Reed of Marblehead, shoreman, and Wil-
liam Charles. The latter died, having
devised his half part to his grandchildren,
James Dennis, jr., Amos Dennis, and Ag-
nes, wife of Thomas Trefry, all of Mar-
blehead. These grandchildren conveyed
their half interest in the lot to Samuel
Robinson of Salem, carman or carter,
Sept. 30, 1695.* Mr. Robinson conveyed
his half part of this lot to his father,
Samuel Robinson, sr., of Salem June 2,
1696.1
The other half interest, owned by
Richard Reed in 1695, was conveyed by
him to Caleb Buffum of Salem, yeoman,
fune 27, 1698! ; and Mr. Reed's eldest
son and heir, Samuel Reed of Marblehead,
released the interest to Mr. Buffum on the
same day.
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Buffum owned
the lot together in 1700.

pounds. It came into the possession of
Mr. Archer's son Samuel Archer of Salem,
carpenter, who, for thirty-two pounds,
conveyed the lot to Lt. John Pickering of
Salem, yeoman, Nov. 9, 1680.* Mr. Pick-

marsh at the western end of the lot.
John Robinson Lot. This was a part
of John Orne's lot in 1679, and he had

it for many years.
John Orne Lot. John Orne of Salem,
house carpenter, owned this lot Nov. 4,

he conveyed it, for love, to his son John
Orne of Salem, cordwainer.J In the
father's will, dated Oct. 8, 1679, and
proved Nov. 25, 1684, the lot was also
devised to him. John Orne, the son,
owned it until 1 709.
Thomas Flint Lot. This lot early be-
longed to Richard Raymond of Salem,
mariner, who had moved to Saybrooke,
Conn. By attorneys, be conveyed it to
his son-in-law Oliver Mannering of Salem,
seaman, Oct. 13, 1662. Mr. Mannering
removed to New London, Conn., and,

THE OLD FARM-HOUSE.
In a little grove of shade trees
Stands a farm-house, brown and old,
With a wealth of vines around it,
Gemmed with flowers of red and gold;
By the path that makes a circle
Of white sand around the lawn,
Grow sweet Timothy and clover,
Rosy as a June-day dawn.
Around its door pale morning-glories,
Jump-up- Johnies, dahlias, pinks,
Cluster concentrated beauties,
Married by a thousand links ;
Links of love, the works of nature's
Mystery of handicraft;
Links of glory, through which
Argosies of perfume waft.
And the gate that swings before it,
And the fence as white as snow,
Stand on variegated cushions,
Which the sun-fire sets aglow ;
Crowning them with many colors
Yellow, purple, green and blue,
As if rainbows there had fallen,
Melted into rarest dew.
On its roof the greenest mosses
Catch the shadows from the trees ;
On its sides red honeysuckles
Make their curtesies to the breeze ;
And the ever-nervous willows
Standing near the garden's bound,
Throw a web of shade fantastic
On the clover-mantled ground.
O'er the well an arch of grape-vines,
Formed with heaven's directed care,
Chains the shadows to the water,
Making cool the summer air;
And a tiny church, its steeple
Piercing through a bower of leaves,
Is a sure and sacred refuge
Where the wren her carol weaves.

A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND
ITS PEOPLE from their Earliest Records to
the Present Time. By Elroy McKendree
Avery. Volume IV. Cleveland, O., 1908.
In this volume of Dr. Avery's fine His-
tory of the United States is told how the
shackles of tyranny were beginning to be
broken in pre- revolutionary struggles and
the colonists were prepared for the hasten-
ing grapple. The first chapter treats of
events which occurred subsequent to the
taking of Louisburg in 1745. Then fol-
lows the account of the French and In-
dian war, the Braddock Expedition, the
campaigns at Crown Point and Niagara,
the removal of the Acadians,the campaigns
of Oswego and Fort William Henry, the
capture of Louisburg, the campaign at
Ticonderoga and Fort Frontenac, the fall
of Fort Duquesne, the campaigns on lakes
Champlain and Ontario, the campaign at
Quebec and the battle of the Plains of
Abraham, the fall of New France, and the
peace that followed. It also contains the
history of the Cherokee war, 1759-1763,
and of the Pontiac War in 1763 and
1764.
This volume contains the usual index
and bibliography of the historical sources
of the period covered, and this addition
is one of the best features of the work, as
it enables the reader or the student to
continue his reading or investigations on
any of the subjects covered by the re-
spective volumes without searching here
and there for proper sources of infor-
mation.
This is in keeping with the plan of the
previous volumes in binding, paper, type
and illustration. The typographical exe-
cution of the work is unexcelled, and the
number of engravings is greater than in
the volumes previously issued. The beauty
of the cuts, many of them being in sev-
eral colors, is fully equal to those previ-
ously presented. The frontispiece is a
portrait of Benjamin Franklin. Other
portraits given are of Rev. Thomas Prince,
Gov. Benning Wentworth, James Edward
Oglethorpe, Gov. Robert Dinwiddie, Law-
rence Washington, Sir Peter Halket, Wil-
liam Johnson, Robert Monckton, Gen.
John Winslow, Thomas Pownall, Robert
Rogers, William Pitt, Sir Jeffrey Amherst,
Admiral Edward Boscawen, Henry Bou-
quet, Gen. James Wolfe, Sir Charles Saun-
ders, Gen. George Townshend, George
III., etc. There are many autographs,
and photographic copies of letters, title
pages, bills of currency, coat armor, seals,
buildings, newspaper headings, views of
places and forts, monuments, soldiers'
uniforms in colors, vessels, medals, and
many maps, reproduced in their original
colors.
There are three hundred and seventy-
six pages, all of which consist of valuable
historical matter logically and interesting-
ly presented. The publishers are The
Burrows Brothers Company, Cleveland, O.
