COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO BUILD A MEETING HOUSE; NEGLECT TO ACT--THOMAS FOLLANSBEE NEGLECTS TO BUILD A MILL--CLAPBOARDS SOLD AT JOHN GOFFE'S MILL--LAYING OUT HIGHWAYS--DELINQUENTS NOTIFIED--COMMON LAND ASSIGNED--THOMAS HALL DESIRES TITLE TO THE ISLANDS IN AMOSKEAG FALLS--NAMES OF SOME OF THE EARLY SETTLERS--HABITS AND CUSTOMS OF EARLY SETTLERS

The next meeting of the proprietors was called by the committee, previously chosen for that purpose, and the warrant was directed to the proprietors of that tract of land in the province of New Hampshire known by the name of Goffes town; the insertion of a second "f" is another step in the line of progress in writing the name of the town, as this is the first time the name has been written the same as the person for whom it was named.

This meeting was warned to meet at the house of John Goffe, Esq., at Derryfield on the 15th day of January, 1754, and the second article embraced in the warrant reads as follows: "To Enquire of the Commitee Chosen by said Propriety to build a Meeting house last year in said Goffes town what the reason of their neglecting to prossecute that affair was, and if they or any of them Refuse to serve in that affair to chuse others in their room and to do any thing that they shall think fitt in that affair." At the time of the meeting John Goffe, Esq., was chosen moderator.

The second article before mentioned was dismissed without further action, and with this dismissal ended the meeting-house matter during the propriety. They next chose Capt. John Goffe to represent to the proprietors the neglect of Thomas Follansbee in not building a sawmill as required by the terms of the grant, and instructed him to set forth the hardships and difficulties under which the settlers labored on account of Follanshee's neglect.

He must also represent to the proprietors that Follanshee's neglect to build the sawmill was the cause of the non-construction of the meeting-house and it had likewise hindered many persons from making settlements upon their lots as enjoined upon them by the grant. In fact Thomas Follansbee was at this time vastly more useful for them than his mill would have been beneficial, had he constructed the same, since their neglect in not complying with the terms of the grant could all be shifted from their shoulders to his.

He was also instructed to represent to the grantors the difficulty the proprietors labored under, by reason of Major White and John White, Medford Grant and other persons failing to pay to the treasurer their proportion in accordance with the terms of the grant, and praying the grantors would assist them in their difficulty. The next move at this meeting was a vote instructing Samuel Patten to sell the clapboards at John Goffe's mill in Bedford. These clapboards were manufactured from lumber taken from the common land in Goffstown. Samuel Patten immediately announces that he will then and there proceed to the sale, and the said claphoards were vendued to John Goffe, Esq., at 30s per hundred old tenor, and the meeting adjourned.

The next matter of importance to the people of Goffstown was the laying out of highways, and Alexander Walker and Benjamin Richards proceeded to lay out a highway on the northerly side of Piscataquog River from the meeting-house place to the Merrimack River. A highway from Starkstown line to Hall's Ferry and a third on the south side of the river from William McDole's to Bedford line--William McDole lived upon the farm now owned by James Bartlett on Shirley hill,--and the terminus at Bedford line was a short distance easterly of the Joseph George place.

We give the transcripts of each and by the aid of the town plan they are readily traced:

   1. Beginning at the meeting house spot Runing Southeasterly by marked trees across N^o five in the North Rang on the northerly side of Piscataquog river then by marked trees upon the westerly Side of Harry Brook to Follansbees upper Dam then across the brook into N^o ten in the River Rang to James Karrs Then Easterly across N^o 11 to Catemount brook thence more Southerly by marked trees across N^o 10 then southeasterly across N^o 11 over Shugar spring then across N^o 50 in the twelveth Rang and N^o 49 in said Rang then on a piece of Common to Thomas Halls then Easterly by the South Side of Thomas Halls house to the river.
   2. Begining at Starks town Line on the Lott N^o 1 in the Eleventh Rang on the north side of Piscataquog River from thence Runing South by marked trees across N^o two and N^o three by Aaron Wells house then across N^o four and N^o five and into N^o Six in the twelveth Rang then into N^o Six in the Eleventh Rang to Black Brook from thence across Number Seven in Said Rang then into N^o Eight in the twelveth Rang then across N^o Fifty Three in the twelveth Rang then across the Northwes Corner of Blodgets Farm into Fifty two and then more Easterly into the Road that Lead from the meeting house lott to Halls Ferry.
   3. Begining at William McDoells Lott N^o Nine in the first Rang on the south side of Piscataquog River from thence across N^o Eight and N^o Nine in the second Rang then East across N^o ten and N^o Eleven in the second Rang and N^o twelve and across the Northwest Corner of N^o thirteen to Medford farm then along upon the south side of Medford farm then across the North End of N^o Fifteen in the second Rang then south easterly across N^o Sixteen then across N^o Forty five then across a peice of Common then across N^o Forty four to Bedford Line.

From 1754 until 1757 nothing seems to be gleaned from the records, and it is probable that their attention was occupied by matters especially distinct from the propriety, as a portion of this time the war was in progress. On the 13th of October, 1757, John Goffe and James Walker addressed as the "Prudential Committee of the Propriety of Goffes town" were supplicated by Matthew Patten, James Karr, William McDoell, Thomas Miller, John Smith, Thomas Karr, Alexander Walker, Parish Richardson, Moses Wells, Eleazer Wells, Jr., Robert Davidson, Thomas Hall and Thomas Karr, Jr., to call a meeting of the proprietors and insert such articles in the warrant as were mentioned in the petition, the principal of which was, that they were laboring under many difficulties, prominent among which was the want of preaching, highways, bridges, settlement of accounts, etc.

In accordance with the foregoing petition the proprietors were notified to meet at the house of James Karr in Goffes town on the 8th day of November, 1757, as requested in the petition. James Karr lived where G. Ernest Whitney now lives and meetings were holden at his place after this, and in subsequent years preaching was at James Karr's barn. Thomas Karr was chosen moderator.

The committee chosen for laying out highways were dismissed, and Thomas Hall, James Karr and William McDoell named in their places to serve until the following March.

The first named committee began their official duties in August, 1750, and laid out all the highways of which there is any record to be found during the existence of the propriety. The treasurer was requested to call in what money was due, and an adjournment was made until the 2Oth day of December, 1757. Whether the treasurer had been negligent of the duty imposed upon him no one knows. The delinquents had failed to respond. The money had not been forthcoming, and at the adjourned meeting Matthew Patten was instructed to inform all those who had neglected to pay to the treasurer, the amount stipulated by the grant for defraying the charges of the propriety, that they make payment, and if they do not, they may expect to be dealt with, according to the terms of the Grant.

After the lots had been drawn there remained a considerable area of what was known as common or undivided land, and the proprietors proceeded to assign to parties rights or shares and half shares in the common and undivided land. It is presumed this was assigned upon the same terms as was stipulated by the grant. In making the assignments of the common or undivided land, quality was taken into consideration for quantity, and likewise quantity for quality.

The following are the descriptions of the lots laid out or voted by the propriety to different individuals:

In 1759 Thomas Hall a tavernkeeper sets forth his³ petition that he has been in possession of the Islands in Ambaskeeg Falls for the space of eleven years last past, that he is desirous of obtaining a clear and undisputed title, and he requests that the same be granted him on such terms as may seem reasonable and proper by the proprietors. He was evidently beginning to realize what an advantage it would be to him if he had a title to these Islands, and also the income that would accrue, since at certain seasons of the year they were the most important fishing grounds in this section of the state.

He evidently never gained exclusive control of the Islands, or at least we find no record to that effect. We find no further record concerning the propriety, and no authentic record regarding the proprietors or inhabitants of Goffstown until the incorporation, and in the meantime let us look over town and locate some of the early settlers, and observe their habits and customs, although no attempt will be made to show who was the first settler, or the order in which settlements were made:

Job Dow located where Eliphalet Richards now resides, on the Mast Road in Goffstown Village.

Asa Pattee lived in a part of the identical house now owned by Mrs. Mary Goodhue.

Timothy Ferrin settled somewhere in the vicinity of Shirley Station.

William McDole on Shirley Hill, upon the farm now owned by James H. Bartlett. He is given the credit of constructing the second log house in that section of the town.

Thomas Miller upon the next lot north.

Joseph Kennedy on the farm now owned by Andrew McDougall, not far from Bedford line; the site of his ancient dwelling is plainly visible.

Antipas Dodge upon the north Uncanoonuc Mountain near where the new road enters the old road northerly of the buildings.

James Eaton near the house of William L. Roberts.

Enoch Page settled upon the Abram Buzzell place.

George Addison upon what is known as the Addison place.

Benjamin Stevens resided at the present residence of Mben S. Tirrell.

James Barr is supposed to have made the original settlement upon the farm afterwards owned by Samuel M. Barnard.

Samuel Richards on land now owned by Hilisborough County Farm.

Benjamin Richards is supposed to have made his first attempt at founding a settlement on land now owned by Benjamin Greer, northerly of his residence.

Caleb Emery in the valley of the Harry Brook, easterly of the Samuel Little or Amos Annis place.

Alexander Walker upon the farm now owned by George E. Waite, and by which name it has been known through succeeding generations.

The Martins at Martin's Ferry; the station on the easterly side of the river on the Boston & Maine Railroad is named on their account.

Peter Harriman upon the farm now owned by William W. Merrill.

James Karr on the southerly side of the highway near the house of G. Ernest Whitney.

Thomas Hall early settled at Amoskeag where he was a tavernkeeper, also owned a ferry which bore his name.

Aaron Wells in the easterly part of the town upon the farm of Hezikiah Blaisdell.

Dea. Thomas Karr upon the northerly side of the river at the Center.

James Moor at Amoskeag.

Hugh Ramsey at Amoskeag, southerly of the Falls.

Samuel Blodgett upon what was known as the Blodgett farm, Black Brook running through the same. The farm bordering on the Merrimack River about a mile above the bridge.

The Hacketts settled on Hackett Hill in Hooksett.

The habits of these early settlers were very simple, their wants were few and easily supplied. Their houses were constructed of logs, boxed or cut in at each end that they might fit as closely as possible, and the cracks were filled with mud or clay; the floor in some cases was of hewn logs and a hole dug in the ground underneath which was used as a cellar.

The chamber or attic had a flooring of poles closely lain together, which was reached by a ladder; this was usually used as the sleeping-room.

There was an immense fireplace, taking in wood four feet long, constructed of stone laid in clay, as bricks were not then in existence, surmounted with a low, wide chimney. In these mammoth fireplaces was first placed a large back log, and some houses were so constructed that this could be drawn in with a horse, and on top of the back log was placed a back stick somewhat smaller. Against the back log and a short distance from each end were placed two oblong flat stone which took the place of andirons, or rather andirons later took the place of the stones. Upon the stones was a large fore stick and the smaller wood was placed between the back log and fore stick; it required no small quantity of fuel to warm a house of this kind. The fire was kept burning night and day, and it was one of the greatest cares upon retiring at night to so cover up fire brands as to keep fire until morning. If the fire was lost during the night some member of the family must go to a neighbor for live coals, and the remainder await their morning meal until their return.

Imagine a person obliged to go from Job Kidder's (Henry Blaisdell's place) to Alexander Walker's (George E. Waite place), or from William McDole's to Joseph Kennedy's in a winter morning, the thermometer below zero after a fire brand before a breakfast could be cooked. Had it not been for the immense fires which they kept burning people would have suffered in these loosely constructed houses. There were no glass windows, but generally two openings which were closed in the winter time by a kind of shutter made from thin boards split out of pine logs the same as shingles.

The facilities for cooking were very primitive, a pole of green hard wood served the purpose of the crane, to which they attached pot hooks and trammels of different lengths, and upon these were hung pots, kettles, etc. The roasting and baking was wholly carried on at the open fireplace. Their food was very plain, consist-mg of the little they could raise from the land, principally beans, corn and rye, the latter it was necessary to take to Haverhill, Mass., or Concord, to have ground.

Later small rude gristmills were constructed where a few bushels of corn could be ground in a day. Joseph Kennedy and Dea. Robert Moore each had one in the southerly part of the town, and Dea. Thomas Cochran one in New Boston. Wild game secured from the forest took the place of domestic meat, and fish from the neighboring streams and ponds, supplemented by a trip or two to Amoskeag Falls.

The water was secured from a nearby spring or brook, and if this was not convenient from a well and the water was drawn by a huge sweep, so weighted at one end as to balance a pail of water at the other. It required about as much effort to pull down the weight as it would to raise the water from the well without it.

Tallow candles or pine knots furnished the light for long winter evenings, and with little or no reading matter they must have been long and dreary.

Their clothing was home spun and coarse, and the early settlers sometimes made use of the skins of wild animals. The men wore tow shirts, striped woolen frocks and leather aprons. In the winter they wore shoes, excluding snow with a pair of woolen leggins. In the summer neither men nor women wore shoes at home.

Their farming utensils were coarse and clumsy, and mostly home made. With these early settlers the seed was planted by hand, and a heavy cumbersome eye hoe, with a wooden handle, was used to dig up the soil; a plow was no use on account of the stumps and roots. Later when the stumps had been partially extracted a plow was used. The plows of that day had wooden mould boards covered with bits of steel or pieces of old iron, and a wrought iron point, which had to be carried to the blacksmith to be sharpened.

The cooking utensils and household furniture were very meagre. In place of tumblers, cups and saucers, etc., they had mugs and a few wooden, and later pewter plates.
