This matter of a Town History is important ten\\nyears ago we had many more materials than we have now, and\\nin ten years more all will be lost.\\nThis project not being deemed feasible, the subject was\\ndiscussed at various times, both publicly and privately, by\\npersons interested in the work, till in March, 1871, it was\\nbrought formally before the Town, when a Committee, con-\\nsisting of Dr. Silas Cummings and Messrs. Charles Bigelow\\nand Samuel Kendall, was appointed to collect materials for a\\nHistory. These were all busy men in their several spheres of\\nlife, and it could hardly have been expected that they would\\nbe able to pursue the matter systematically and reach definite\\nresults.\\nUnder such a vote, however encouraging it might be as a\\nbeginning, it soon appeared that no substantial progress could\\nbe made without a more definite plan and securing more re-\\nsponsibility for the work. Accordingly, at the Town Meeting\\nMarch, 1882, the Selectmen were instructed to appoint a", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0017.jp2"}, "18": {"fulltext": "XIV INTEODUCTION.\\nCommittee of three to prepare a manuscript History of the\\nTown, similar in details to the Histories of Rindge, Peter-\\nborough, and Marlborough, and Five Hundred Dollars were\\nappropriated to pay this Committee for their services. Un-\\navoidable difficulties prevented the choice and qualification of\\nsucli a Committee, and nothing was done till March, 1884,\\nwhen the subject was again brought before the Town. At\\nthis meeting the Town voted to appoint a Committee of three\\nto carry into effect the former vote, and chose Joel Whitte-\\nmore, of New York, as a member of said Committee, and\\ninstructed the Selectmen to complete the number, which was\\ndone by the appointment of John M. Parker and Calvin B.\\nPerry. The Committee thus constituted opened negotiations\\nwdtli Rev. John F. Norton, of Natick, Mass., whom they had\\nknown while a Pastor in Fitzwilliam from 1868 to 1873, as\\nfamiliar, to some extent, with historical work, and engaged\\nhim to write the History. Later Mr. Whittemore, one of the\\nCommittee, assumed the responsibility of collecting and\\narranging the Genealogical part of the work.\\nThe result of these arrangements is now offered to the in-\\nhabitants of Fitzwilliam and such others as from birth, resi-\\ndence, acquaintance, or for any other reason may be inter-\\nested in the character, condition, or progress of this Town\\nsince it began to be settled in 1752.\\nAs to the sources of information open to the historian in\\nthis case, what follows should be noted.\\nRev. John Sabin, Pastor in Fitzwilliam for more than forty\\nyears, gave to the people of this place four Historical Lec-\\ntures, the iirst in 1836 and the remaining three in 1842, and\\nthese were devoted exclusively to the interests, condition, and\\nprogress of this Town, civilly, socially, intellectually, morally,\\nand religiously, during the eighty years that had elapsed since\\nits settlement. These Lectures (in manuscript) have been\\nfreely consulted in the progress of this work.\\nDr. Silas Cummings left three Historical Lectures of the\\nsame general character, two of which he appears to have\\ngiven to the Fitzwilliam people in 1859 and one in 1873.\\nSome portions of these were made up from extracts from the", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0018.jp2"}, "19": {"fulltext": "INTRODUCTIOir.

Besides these Dr.\\nCuminings collected and noted upon slips of paper or in blank\\nbooks, in the hurry of liis professional life, many anecdotes\\nconcerning the first settlers, and detached accounts of many of\\ntheir families, all of which he doubtless hoped to arrange at\\nhis leisure, so that they would aid in the preparation of a Town\\nHistory.

The mercury often sinks low, but not as low as it\\nfrequently does in the vicinity of Boston.

The military road just\\nnamed was, therefore, an important link in the route between\\nEastern Massachusetts and Canada, especially since the passage\\nthrough the wilderness from Portland, Me., to the St. Law-\\nrence was attended by the greatest hardships and perils.\\nThe Indians had trails through Northern Massachusetts and\\nSouthern New Hampshire over which they passed with their\\ncaptives and booty, but these were of no value for the trans-\\nportation of provisions, guns, and ammunition for the forts\\nand offensive operations beyond.\\nIt will be seen at a glance that another road of the same\\nkind (of which the one just mentioned should be an extension\\nor western division) was equally necessary in order to reach the\\nConnecticut River. That such a road was built about 1735\\nor perhaps a little later there can be no question, but its exact\\nlocation through the northern part of Worcester County,\\nMass., and some of the New Hampshire towns is a matter\\nof uncertainty, for the reason that, in succeeding years, wher-\\never it did not meet the Avants of the people as a public high-\\nway it soon went out of use, and wherever it did it was main-\\ntained like the town roads in general, and as time went on its\\nparticular history was lost. But while its exact location in\\nmany places cannot be given, its general direction can be stated\\nwithout any doubt. It started in the vicinity of Fitchburg,\\nMass., and passed through a part of Ashburnham into Win-\\nchendon, in the same State. In the latter town a branch is\\nbelieved to have left the main line, and proceeding in a west-\\nerly direction passed through the south-western corner of", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0048.jp2"}, "49": {"fulltext": "THE OLD MILITARY ROAD. 45\\nFitzwilHam into Riclimond, and was contimied to the Con-\\nnecticut Ei^er to furnish supph es to Fort Dummer, now Brat-\\ntleborongh, Yt.

The jDroprietors, however, came for-\\nward at once and purchased of the State of New Hanapshire\\nall the disputed territory they had claimed, paying for the\\nsame forty thousand dollars in public securities and eight hun-\\ndred dollars in cash. Thus the conveyances of the Masonian\\nProprietors were rendered valid.\\nThe John Rindge whose name appears above at the head\\nof the list of gentlemen added to the Masonian Proprietors\\nafter their purchase was plainly a man of established character\\nand great ability for besides giving its name to our neigh-\\nbor on the east, he was employed in 1731 by the province of", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0061.jp2"}, "62": {"fulltext": "58 HISTORY OF FITZWILLIAM.\\nNew Hampshire as its agent, and sent to London to petition\\nthe king to decide between the conflicting claims of Massa-\\nchusetts and New Hampshire. Great interests were pending,\\nand Rindge and Thomlinson, who succeeded him in the agency,\\ndid not a little to secure a decision in favor of our province.\\nThe twenty-one Masonian Proprietors, through their agent,\\nJoseph Blanchard, on January 15th, 1Y52, granted to Roland\\nCotton and forty-one others the entire territory known as\\nMonadnock No. 4, now Fitzwilliam. The names of six of\\nRoland Cotton s associates in this purchase were as follows\\nJosiah Cotton, Matthew Thornton, Sampson Stoddard, Thomas\\nRead, William Lawrence, and John Stevens.\\nThe exact conditions of this grant cannot here be given in\\nfull, but it is known that they required of each of the grantees\\nthe clearing of a certain number of acres upon one or more of\\nthe lots drawn by him within a specified time, the building of\\na house upon the same, with a family actually residing in it,\\nthe opening of roads, the establishment of a school, and the\\nbuilding of a meeting-house.\\nThis grant of 1752 became void because its conditions were\\nnot fulfilled. The reasons of this failure we can easily con-\\njecture. All kinds of business had been disturbed by the war\\nbetween England and France, which ended in 1748. A new\\nstruggle between the same nations was in the air, and this,\\nwhich proved to be the Seven Years War, or the French\\nand Indian War, as it was variously called, promised to be\\nthe most costly and destructive for the American provinces.\\nIt was no time for the settlement and improvement of a new\\ntownship like Monadnock No. 4. But though they failed to\\ncomply with the conditions of their contract, Roland Cotton\\nand his associates seem not to have lost all their interest in the\\ntownship, for at a later date an amicable settlement was made.\\nAs will be seen, a new grant was made in 1765, and many of\\nthe grantees in 1752 became grantees under the new contract,\\nfor in this their hardships are alluded to, and are treated with\\ndue consideration.

Four of these half lots, or two hundred\\nacres, were assigned originally to the grantors, the Masonian\\nProprietors, and the other two were drawn by Colonel Samp-\\nson Stoddard when the division was made.\\nIn regard to the manner in which the drawing was conducted\\nwe have no information, but from the irregularity in coupling\\nthe two parts that constituted the same share, as well as in the\\nallotment generally, it seems probable that the arrangement\\nwas made by lot.

In 1773 the people of Fitzwilliam were few in number\\nonly two hundred and fourteen, and in 1775 two hundred\\nand fifty and they were scattered over a comparatively large\\nterritory. They were, moreover, mostly poor or in very\\nmoderate circumstances, as they had exhausted nearly all the\\nmeans they possessed in the purchase of their farms and im-\\nprovements. But little of the land had been cleared, and all\\nthey had done in this direction had been done at great disad-\\nvantage. Their dwellings were mostly poor log-huts with\\nvery few of the conveniences of life. To improve their con-\\ndition a little, year by year, demanded great economy, untiring\\nindustry, and the severest toil, so that if there was a town in\\nSouthern New Hampshire that seemed to require all its re-\\nsources within itself to render life more comfortable within its\\nborders, and to make better provision for the education of its\\nchildren, that town was Fitzwilliam.\\nAnd then for our poor and unprotected colonies to defy the\\npower and wealth of Great Britain must hare seemed to the\\nwise a hazardous experiment. And yet there appears to have\\nbeen no hesitation about sustaining the acts of the Continental\\nCongress. The royal Governor of New Hampshire stood\\nready to do and was doing all in his power to keep the prov-\\nince from joining the patriots in other sections of the land,\\nbut the men of Fitzwilliam were ready and even eager to cast\\nin their lot with their self-sacrificing countrymen.\\nFor the space of seven years after 1775 we find the acts of\\nthis town in all their business meetings largely influenced by\\nthe wants of the country at large, and the calls for funds.", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0246.jp2"}, "241": {"fulltext": "MILITARY COMPANY ORGANIZED. 221\\nprovisions, and troops to free the land from the armies of\\nGreat Britain.\\nThese were the absorbing matters that confronted the people\\nhere, just as they had succeeded in establishing their town\\ngovernment, and for these long and anxious years it is not\\nsurprising if everything else was treated as of only secondary\\nimportance in their town meetings.\\nIn 1775, and very soon after American and British blood\\nhad been shed at Lexington and Concord, Mass., Governor\\nJohn Wentvvorth determined, as he expressed his purpose,\\nto plant the root of peace in l^ew Hampshire, and bring\\nabout an affectionate reconciliation with the mother country.\\nA new Assembly was called by him in May of that year, but\\nthe members asked for time to consult their constituents, and\\nwhile their reasonable request called for delay a convention\\nwas doing its work at Exeter in which the province was\\nlargely represented.

Mr. Maynard was from Framingham,\\nMass., but soon after the return of peace he became a resident\\nof FitzwiUiam, and for a number of years was somewhat active\\nin the affairs of this town.*\\nOn the morning of June 17th, 1775, the colonels in command of the\\nregiments about to move upon Bunker Hill were in anxious consulta-\\ntion regarding the movement of their troops, and especially in respect to\\na Commander-in-Chief to lead them in the conflict, when General barren\\nrode up, unattended.! The regimental commanders at once said to\\nhim, in substance, that they were only colonels, that there was not a\\ngeneral among them, and proposed that he, General Warren, should take\\ncommand over them, and lead them in the approaching battle.\\nHe declined the proposition, saying that he was not prepared for such\\na position, that he had no staff officers, not even an aid, when one of\\nthe colonels, turning to a young soldier standing by, said, here is Need-\\nham Maynard, of Framingham, Mass., and he is just the man for your\\naid. General Warren at once offered Maynard the position, and upon his\\nacceptance of the same, he was immediately appointed, and entered\\nupon his duties. In the fight that followed, Mr. Maynard carried General\\nWarren s commands to the colonels and received messages from tliem\\nto their Commander-in-Chief, going back and forth along the line of the\\nrail fence till General Warren was shot. With the help of others Mr.\\nMaynard took up the dying general, and removed him to the spot where\\nhe breathed his last. J\\nCaptain Needham Maynard s name first appeal s upon the records of FitzwiUiam\\nunder date of Marcli 15th, 1787, when he bid oflf the contract for building a pound in\\nthis town for fourteen pounds sterling. He was admitted to the church here, Septem-\\nber, 1786.\\nt Joseph Warren, M.D., an ardent patriot, was appointed a Ma.ior-Generalfour days\\nbefore the Bunker Hill battle, but had not been assigned to any command. To en-\\ncourage the soldiers within the lines he appeared upon the field, June 17th, as a volun-\\nteer, and for this reason was able to accept the offer of leadership made to him by the\\ncolonels in command. His age was thirty-five years.\\nX This statement of Mr. Maynard, which is deemed perfectly reliable, has, it is under-\\nstood, first appeared in print in the new History of Framingham, Mass., by Rev. J. H.\\nTemple. This valuable and, as far as possible, exhaustive work has just been given to\\nthe public. We are indebted to Mr. Temple for the privilege of inserting in this history\\na portion of Mr. Maynard s testimony concerning the arrangements of the Bunker Hill\\nbattle.", "height": "3268", "width": "1893", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0255.jp2"}, "250": {"fulltext": "230 HISTOEY OF FITZWILLIAM.\\nIn Congress March 14, 1776.\\nResolved, That it be recommended to the several Assemblies, Con-\\nventions, and Councils or Committees of Safety of the United States,\\nimmediately to cause all persons to be disarmed within their respective\\nColonies, who are notoriously disaffected to the cause of America, or\\nwho have not associated and refuse to associate to defend by ^rms the\\nUnited Colonies against the hostile attempts of the British Fleet and\\nArmies.\\nExtract from the minutes.\\nCharles Thompson Secretary.\\nColony of New Hampshire.\\nCommittee of Safety.\\nApril 12. 1776.\\nTo the Selectmen of Fitzwilliam\\nIn order to carry the Resolve of the Continental Congress (just given)\\ninto execution.

The South had demanded\\nthe right to extend slavery over all the Territories of the LTuited States,\\nthe right to hold their slaves in all the States of the Union temporarily,\\nthat speaking or writing against slavery in any State of the Union should\\nbe a penal offence, that the North should catch the fugitive slaves and\\nsend them back to bondage, and that the administration of the General\\nGovernment should be placed in the hands of those only Avhom the South\\ncould trust, as the pledged enemies of republican equality and the friends\\nof slavery.\\nTo meet this demand, so far as the extension of slavery was\\nconcerned, the Missouri Compromise was framed, and it was\\nrecognized certainly at the North as a solemn compact never\\nto be broken. But the great mass of the Southern people\\nalways regarded its terms with disfavor, and seemed ready to\\nset it aside if possible, when the iirst hopeful opportunity\\nshould offer.

Whitcomb did the\\nsame, but was obliged to shoot his prisoner, while he, the\\nprisoner, was trj ing to escape. Later, when the Confederate\\nArmy had caj)tured eighteen pieces of artillery and thousands\\nof prisoners, and thought their victory sure, came Sheridan s\\nfamous movements, when the guns were recaptured and as\\nmany more taken, with many prisoners.

As has\\nbeen already stated in this history, it was built in 1817, and\\nstands upon the spot occupied by its predecessor that was\\nerected in 1816, and after being dedicated and used for public\\nreligious services nine Sabbaths, was fired by lightning, Janu-\\nary 17th, 1817, and burned to tlie ground with all its contents.\\nA glance at the Town Hall will show that this building was\\nerected before the jDresent style of church architecture had be-\\ncome popular, but it is none the worse for that. For nearly\\nseventy years strangers have admired its pleasant and conven-\\nient location and its harmonious proportions, which are in\\nstriking contrast with many church edifices of the present day.\\nThe house that was burned cost about seven thousand dol-\\nlars, the town in its corporate capacity appropriating for its\\nerection the sum of four hundred dollars. After the settle-\\nment of the bills for building, etc., there remained a debt upon\\nthe house amounting to about two thousand dollars. One year\\nand twenty days after the dedication of its predecessor, the\\nhouse now standing was dedicated and used at once for the\\nusual religious services. Its cost was six thousand and sixty-\\nfour dollars, but about one thousand of this was generously\\ncontributed by natives of Fitzwilliam and other friends resid-\\ning elsewhere. At the sale of the pews the large sum of seven\\nthousand six hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-four\\ncents was realized, which was sufficient to meet all the bills\\nincurred by the erection of the new house, and to liquidate\\nthe debt contracted in the building of its predecessor. Early\\nin 1817, and soon after the destruction of the first house, the\\ntown had voted to build another and had appropriated fifteen\\nhundred dollars for this purpose, but how this appropriation\\nwas used, if used at all, the records do not show, possibly in\\npart to pay for the land upon which the churches had been", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0386.jp2"}, "379": {"fulltext": "X\\no\\nUJ\\nX\\nI-", "height": "3268", "width": "1893", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0389.jp2"}, "380": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0390.jp2"}, "381": {"fulltext": "THE MEETING-HOUSE OF 1817. 357\\nerected, altliough Pliinehas Reed, Esq., of whom most of the\\nland had been purchased, appears to have taken his pay largely\\nin the pews of the second house.

The total\\npopulation was found to be thirteen hundred and fourteen,\\nwhich exceeds the United States enumeration of 1870 by one\\nhundred and seventy-four, and that of 1880 by one hundred\\nand twenty-seven. This difference is probably to be accounted\\nfor by supposing a more careful and nearly perfect enumera-\\ntion of the inhabitants on the part of Mr. Whittemore, rather\\nthan by concluding that there had been such a change in the\\npopulation of the town as these figures would indicate.\\nThe statement of ages given is as follows\\nUnder 10 years\\nUrom 10 to 20 years\\n20 to 30\\n30 to 40\\n40 to 50\\n268\\n241\\n208\\n186\\n140\\nFrom 50 to 60 years\\n112\\n60 to 70\\n78\\n70 to 80\\n60\\n80 to 90\\n19\\n90 to 100\\n2\\nThe enterprise of all the parties concerned in taking and\\nprinting this census of 1877 was highly creditable.\\nThe census of 1773, taken about the time of the incorpora-\\ntion of the town and preparatory to it, showed of unmarried\\nmen eighteen, married men forty -four, persons under sixteen\\nyears of age, fifty-five, females married forty -four, females\\nunmarried fifty-three, total two hundred and fourteen.\\nThe population in 177^, as given in the table, was not re-\\nturned by the town officers, but was estimated and filled in by\\nthe officials, probably at Exeter, acting under the authority of\\nthe Convention which met in that place.

This place was originally\\nenclosed by a stone wall, except at the place of entrance, but\\nthe wall is now very much broken down, and the lot is over-\\ngrown with trees. A number were buried also in what is now\\ntlie old cemetery of Troy, before the incorporation of that\\ntown, but how many it is impossible to say, though it is not\\nsupposed that such cases were numerous.\\nOccasionally, in the case of persons dying from small-pox,\\nthere are supposed to have been burials in unknown places, as\\nthe safety of the community might demand. And in later\\nyears there have been a few burials in Winchendon from the\\nsoutheast part of the town.\\nWith these exceptions, the old cemetery on the hill (with\\nthe additions made to it in later years) has been the single\\nburying-place of the dead of Fitzwilliam from the beginning.\\nThe history of the laying out of this burying-ground has\\nbeen already given in Chapter Y., but it may be remarked in\\nthis place that a committee of five, apjjointed by the propi i-\\netors in 1768, after a careful examination, reported in 1770, in", "height": "3268", "width": "1893", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0413.jp2"}, "402": {"fulltext": "372 HISTOEY OF FITZWILLIAM.\\nfavor of placing the meeting-house and locating the cemetery\\non the easterly part of Lot No. 13, in Range T, and that five\\nacres of land be laid out for public use where Jason Stone\\nchild is buried.\\nThaddeus, son of Jason Stone, died, April 30th, 1Y69, from\\nbeing scalded, and was the first recorded death in Monadnock\\nNo. 4 and the burial of this child in that place was doubtless\\nin anticipation of the act of the proprietors in locating as they\\ndid the cemetery.\\nThat there was a great lack of regularity and convenience\\nof access in the arrangements of the ancient lot is not a matter\\nfor surprise, when we recall the circumstances under which\\nthe earlier interments were made.\\nIn 1846 it was deemed necessary to provide additional land\\nfor the cemetery, as the ground originally laid out was nearly\\nall occupied.

At the age of twenty-\\nthree he went West, and for two years found employment in\\nNew Baltimore, Mich., and Moline, 111. In August, 1862,\\nhe enlisted as a soldier in the One Hundred and Twenty-\\nseventh Kegiment Illinois Volunteers, but his health giving\\nway he was detailed to serve as a druggist in a dispensary at\\nNashville, Tenn., and continued in this service till the close\\nof the war. In 1866 he was in Faribault, Minn., and later\\nin Minneapolis, but in 1867 became a resident of Northfield,\\nMinn., and engaged in business as a book-keeper. In this\\ncapacity he was employed in 1872 by the First National Bank\\nof Northfield. In September of that year, the cashier being\\nabsent, Mr. Hayward was in charge as acting cashier, the\\nteller, Mr. Bunker, and assistant book-keeper being also on\\nduty. On the 7th of that month eight mounted bank robbers,\\nunderstood to be the so-called Jesse James band, entered the\\nplace, and while three of the number attacked the bank the\\nother five made the utmost possible commotion upon the out-\\nside, to intimidate the people that might come to the rescue.\\nBut the citizens rallied so quickly and in such numbers that\\nthe attempted robbery was frustrated, and two of the robbers\\nwere killed, but as the last one was leaving the bank he turned\\nand fired a fatal shot at Mr. Hayward.\\nElijah Phillips, son of Elijah Phillips, was born in Fitzwill-\\niam, and in 1830, when he was a young man, went West and\\nsettled in Illinois.

Ament, who was not on friendly terms with the\\nneighboring Indians. In some way Mr. Phillips had become\\nsomewhat involved in the quarrel. The men barricaded the\\nhut and each slept with his loaded gun by his side. The Ind-\\nians who were watching the cabin during the night were\\nprevented by the rain from burning it, but early in the morn-\\ning as Mr. Phillips started for his own cabin, which was not\\nfar distant, a number of guns were fired at him and he fell\\ndead, two bullets having entered his body.\\nPAUPEEISM.\\nThe custom which prevailed in this region, a century ago,\\nof warning nearly every new family out of town as soon as\\npossible after its arrival, doubtless prevented pauperism in this\\nplace to some extent, still, Fitzwilliam, like all other towns, had\\nits poor to care for at an early date. In 1Y76 the town paid\\nLevi Brigham ten shillings for supporting John Camp and\\nfamily, which appears to have been the first appropriation for\\nthis purpose. Previously the poor had been aided by private\\ncharity.\\nIn 1779 an appropriation of fifty pounds was made for the\\nuse of the poor. At that date the currency in which the\\ntaxes were paid had greatly depreciated. In 1785 the sick-\\nness of the wife of Abraham Rice, Jr., called for appropriations\\namounting to about fifteen pounds ten shillings. In 1787 the\\ntown voted to put out Mr. Butler s family to such persons\\nas should take the care of them at the lowest, and at the\\nvendue that followed they were taken at from six to eight\\npounds each for one year. In 1792 entries like the following\\nappear in the Records Lieut. Daniel Mellen bought old\\nMr. Camp, for one year, he is to have two pounds and seven\\nshillings per weeke and the said Mellen is to keep his cloath-\\ning as good as when he receives him,\\nThis method of caring for the poor was common in the\\ncountry towns of JSTew England for many years, and had its\\nadvantages as well as disadvantages.", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0434.jp2"}, "423": {"fulltext": "PAUPERISM HIGHWAYS. 393\\nIt should be borne in mind that in the early days the pauper\\nwent into the family as one of its members, and was expected\\nto do such work as he or she was able, the compensation re-\\nceived from the town depending largely upon the pauper s\\nability to labor. It is believed that such persons were seldom\\noverworked or misused in Fitzwilliam.\\nIn 1794 the town made choice of Benjamin Davidson, John\\nFassett, and John Locke as Overseers of the Poor, but in gen-\\neral the duties of such officers have here devolved upon the\\nselectmen.\\nThe expense of supporting the poor of a town like this must\\nalways be considerable, but an examination of the reports of\\nthe selectmen will show that, for the last twenty years, the tax\\nupon the people of Fitzwilliam for the support of paupers has\\nnot been increasing, but rather diminishing.\\nCONNECTION WITH THE WOKLD.\\nThe laying out, making and repairing of roads presented a\\nproblem to the proprietors and first settlers of Fitzwilliam that\\ndemanded good judgment, not a little patience, and large ap-\\npropriations. It is probable that all the earliest settlers en-\\ntered the township by the old military road, and settled on\\nit or as near it as was convenient. As the settlement in-\\ncreased roads were laid out by the proprietors from neighbor-\\nhood to neighborhood, but in very many cases as the log hut\\ngave place to the framed house, the location of the highways\\nwas changed as convenience or preference seemed to require.\\nKeferring to matters of this nature, Rev. John Sabin, in his\\nhistorical lecture of February, 1842, said It has rarely been\\nwith a people that they calculate just as they would were it\\nto begin again and to illustrate this truth he added that in\\nearly times roads were laid to accommodate individuals and\\n80 might not be permanent. Vast proportions of former roads\\nliave been discontinued and much of the labor done on them\\nlost to later time.\\nThe evil complained of by this sensible man is probably, to\\nsome extent, inseparable from the conditions of a new settle-\\nment, but certainly it was great in Fitzwilliam, for the roads", "height": "3268", "width": "1855", "jp2-path": "historyoffitzwil01nort_0435.jp2"}, "424": {"fulltext": "394 HISTORY OF FITZWILLIAM.\\nconstructed in this township, and discontinued during the first\\nfifty years after it was purchased by Sampson Stoddard and\\nothers, seem to have extended over nearly every part of it, and\\nin all directions, with very little regard to the future wants of\\nthe incoming population.

A\\nfew years later a branch road was made, leaving the original\\nroad about three-quarters of a mile northwest of where Bow-\\nkerville is now located, and proceeding nearly due north to\\nthe Tolman mills. This branch, and the remainder of the orig-\\ninal road southerly, soon became the main thoroughfare from\\nKeene and beyond to Boston, and for thirty years it is repeat-\\nedly referred to in the records as The Great Road.
