PREFACE.
A FEW years ago, owing to some alteration in the office of the Fire Department, a number of presumably worthless papers were sent down to the furnaces to be destroyed. By some oversight, among them were many bundles of papers relating to the Great Fire in Boston in 1760.
Fortunately these were noticed by two or three of the em- ployees in the Old Court House, who very kindly called my attention to the fact. I am happy to add that I have every reason to believe that I rescued substantially the whole col- lection, which is here set out in print. By an equal stroke of good luck it happened that I obtained, by the kindness of John Ward Dean, Esq., the use of a beautiful manuscript, giving the list of losses as prepared by the Committee ap- pointed to disburse the liberal gifts made to aid the sufferers by the fire. It is from the comparison of these two lists that I speak so confidently as to the preservation of nearly all of the files of original claims.
This manuscript Report of the Committee is in the library of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, in a vol- ume described as follows :
"Papers relating to Boston in New England," containing some eighteen manuscripts and one printed document, nearly all relating to the excise acts of 1754-5, bound in full calf, size 9 × 13, marked SL
The papers giving the particular cases of loss now in the charge of this department have been bound up as one vol- nme of the town papers in scrapbooks uniform with eight others covering the period from 1637 to 1832.
These papers will undoubtedly be highly valued by local antiquaries, as the most authentic and interesting picture of colonial life. The great fire struck both rich and poor, and both classes seemed impartially anxious to display the amount of their losses. As personal effects were destroyed and were to be the ground for compensation, we have herein an itemized account of the contents of Boston houses in 1760, such as even the tax-gatherers of the day could not com- mand. Heretofore we have copied from inventories in the
iv

probate offices, but these facts were all independent, and as a rule lists were of the richer classes only.
The following reference to the Great Fire of 1760 :
W. H. W.
HUTCHINSON'S HISTORY.
Vol. 3, p. 80.
" A fire in Boston, the night after the 20th of March, ex- ceeded the great fire, as it had always been styled, in 1711. It began in Cornhill, at a house known by the name of the Brazen Head, south of the town-house. Three or four houses were burnt, and the progress of it seemed to be stopped, when a violent wind at northwest came on suddenly and it consumed in that direction, between Cornhill and the harbour, one hundred and fifty houses great and small. The newspapers made the damage amount to three hundred thou- sand pounds sterling. A brief from the governor supposed that at a moderate computation it amounted to at least one hundred thousand pounds. Others who had observed the in- creased value of the land upon which the houses stood, esti- mated the loss at not more than fifty thousand pounds, and judged, that, if the donations could have been equally dis- tributed no great loss would have been sustained."
To the Honorble the Commons of Great Britain, in Parliament assembled.
The petition of Sarah Ayers, Franc. Ackley, &c. [naming all the sufferers ] of Boston in the province of Massachusetts Bay.
Most humbly sheweth,
That on the 20th of March last a most terrible fire, ex- ceeding any that ever before happened in the American colonies, broke out in the heart of the se. town of Boston, at the hour of two in the morning, which, increased by the wind, blowing very strong from the North West, and the flames of many wooden buildings, raged with irresistable violenee, carrying all before it, and, stil widening in its progress, proceeded with such a rapid course to the water's edge, that the houses & other buildings, with the moveables of your petitioners, were in a very little time reduced to ashes, and some of your petitioners from affluent, & others from casy circumstances to great straits & indigence.
That your petitioners with their families, amounting to a large number of persons, being received with the greatest
PREFACE.
humanity by other inhabitants of the town, to whom for their preservation they fled in their sore distress, became burthen- some to them & the whole town, whose care & kindness on this occasion have been exceeding great. but your petitioners, who when they were able chearfully bore part of the comon burthen, are sensible that the inhabitants in general, how- soever well enclined, are unable to bear any considerable ad- dition to the heavy load of taxes which for many years past has fallen upon them, far exceeding that of other colonists, in consequence of their greater exortion of themselves, in conjunction with the inhabitants of other parts of the prov- ince, to prevent French encroachments and prosecute the war against the common enemy.
That the chief part of such of your petitioners as were proprietors of the houses destroyed are unable to build others on their vacant lands, and if that be not effected, many of the distressed must of necessity soon seek their bread & habitations elsewhere. and the metropolis of the colony. which was many years the chief strength of the Eng- lish interest on the continent of America, without being in the least burthensome to its mother country, will be left in a broken & declining state.
That under the direction of the government of the prov- ince, & the special care of all the proper officers of the town, an exact & particular account of the loss sustained has been taken. and is ready to be laid before this Honble. House, whereby it appears that the whole amounted to the sum of £53334 :5:5 Sterlg.
That divers sums have been received for the benefit of your petitioners, amounting to the following sums in sterling money, vizt. By grant of the Gen1. Court of Massachusets province £2250. By collections in the several churches in Boston & other parts of the province £3916,,10,,53. By grants of the colonies of New York, Pensilvania, Maryland, New Hampshire & Conecticut £3358 : 0:43. By donations made in the province & elsewhere, including £.3000 given by the merchants in London £.3793,, .. ,, 113. which amount- ing to £. 13317 : 11 : 9, being deducted from the value of the immediate losses sustained by your petitioners, reduces them to £40016: 13 : 8 Sterling
WHEREFORE your most humble petitioners, oppressed with so heavy a loss, together with the great losses & dis- advantages proceeding from their being so suddenly driven from their habitations & business, most humbly pray that this Honorble. House will be pleased to take their calamitous case into their compassionate consideration, and grant them such relief as to the great wisdom & goodness of this Honble.

House shall seem proper, to assist their indeavors to support themselves and their numerous families, and to become again useful members of the commonwealth.
And your petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray &c ..
JOHN THIOMLINSON W. Bollan, in the name & behalf of the Petitioners.
The hum: petit. of Sarah Ayers. Fra. Ackley and 437 other perss. inhabts. of Boston in New. Engd. to the H. House of Comons.
At a Town Meeting held in Boston on May 13, 1760, it was voted that "John Thomlinson and William Bollan of London, Esqrs., be and hereby are appointed agents for this town," etc. They presented the above petition to Parlia -. ment, but no action was taken by that body.
Other papers relating to the fire were found in the Boston Public Library, but too late to be made use of in this volume.
Shortly before this volume was ready for the press, a curi- ons broadside, relative to the great fire of 1760, was fortu- nately discovered. It was printed in Boston at Fowle & Draper's, on Marlborough street, size 12 × 15, with a quaint engraving in the upper corner, 3 X 4; signed " A. J.," and it is possible that Andrew Johonnot may have been the author.
Reproductions of the same appear in this volume.
The Lists of Freemen were taken mostly from the " Records of the Governor and Company of Massachusetts Bay in New England," printed by order of the Legislature in 1853. Edited by the late Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D.
The copy has been compared with the original papers on file in the State Archives, by William S. Appleton, Esq., formerly one of the Record Commissioners of Boston, and through his courtesy we are enabled to print errors noted by him on page 332.
The Lists of Freemen, taken from the County Court Records, 1671-1680, are printed for the first time.
The Timber Building Book is in the custody of the City Clerk.
The List of the Port Arrivals and Immigrants is part of a volume of records, and is also in possession of the City Clerk.
All other items, unless specially mentioned, are in the custody of this department.
