The government was administered by\\nofficials appointed by the crown until the year 1688, when\\na new king having ascended the throne, the people of the\\nNew England provinces, denounced the Governor, Sir\\nEdmund Andros, and sent him to England as a prisoner.\\nFor two years New Hampshire was left without a govern-\\nment waiting orders from the mother country but none\\ncame and in 1690 they asked to be once more admitted\\nunder the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, which request\\nwas granted, and delegates were sent to the general court\\nof that colony for two years.

The Indians claimed it the assigns of Mason\\nclaimed it Massachusetts claimed it and the actual set-\\ntlers claimed it, Massachusetts claimed the largest and\\nbest part of it. Her claim was founded on her charter\\ngiven by William and Mary, which substantially covered\\nthe same territory which was granted by the first charter\\nof James I. After the failure of a joint committee from\\nboth provinces, who met at Newbury in 1731 to settle the\\nlong and complicated dispute, New Hampshire petitioned\\nthe king to decide the controversy. George H decided\\nin favor of New Hampshire, that state receiving more\\nthan she originally claimed as her right. For some years\\nprevious to this decision Massachusetts had granted as\\nmany townships as possible in order to gain color of title\\nto the disputed territory. In 1735 the line of towns as\\nthey are designated was granted on the plea of forming a\\ndefense against the Indians. This line began at Boscawen\\nand extended west to Charlestown.

Belcher, in the winter of 1741, Massachusetts re-\\nfusing to take part in the proceedings. In his survey\\nHazen made an allowance of 10\u00c2\u00b0 for the westerly variation\\nof the needle. It was afterwards ascertained that he had\\ncommitted a serious blunder in making so large an allow-\\nance.

In case the coals went out, they were obliged to go,\\nsometimes for miles, to a neighbors to procure coals to\\nmake the fire. Some used a tinder-box, and. sometimes\\npowder was flashed, for the same purpose. There were\\nbut few cellars and these consisted of a hole dug in the\\nground. Horses were scarce, and carriages almost un-\\nknown. Much of the grain used for food was carried to\\nthe mills to be ground, on the men s shoulders, and the\\nflour returned the same way. Those who were fortunate\\nenough to own a horse, led him over the rough and uneven\\nroads, with the bag of grain on his back. Depending\\nupon the crops they could raise for the food for their\\nfamilies, fields of grain soon took the place of the heavy\\nforests. Their next efforts were directed to erecting\\nmills for grinding grain, and sawing lumber they would\\nneed for erecting more comfortable dwellings. They then\\ncommenced building roads, employing their time and\\nmoney in making such improvements as would render a\\nsettlement here desirable. The material prosperity is\\nindicated by the valuation at different periods. The val-\\nuation in 1822, was ^188,366; in 1835, $283,698; in\\n1845, $333,200; in 1855, reached its highest figures,\\n$392,854; in 1865, $367,410; in 1875, $349,848; in\\n1885, $331,814.

The only\\nmarked difference between the two divisions is that the\\nlast one makes two districts of No. i, the new one being\\ndesignated as No. 9. The division of 1828 was not by any\\nmeans the first of the kind, but the town had been at first\\ndivided into four districts in 1780, and again into six in\\n1788 or 1789. The schools must have been taught in pri-\\nvate houses before the erection of buildings owned by the\\ndistricts. In 1785 a school was taught at the house of\\nRev. Mr. Leslie. In 1791, Lieutenant Woods let to the\\ntown a part of his house for the purpose of accommodat-\\ning a school. The next year the town treasurer paid to\\nthat district its proportion of the money raised by the\\ntown for building a school house.
