In Dedham Records, March 23, 1636, it was ordered that millstones be brought "from Watertowne Mill by land unto the boateing place near Mr. Haynes his farme". It is to be noted that the General Court had granted to John Haynes, April 1, 1634, 1,000 acres above the Falls on the easterly side of the River. And from the above records, there was evidently a road from Watertown to this farm.
That there were farms existing near the Dedham line to which access was probably by land is shown in the vote in Dedham Records, November 25, 1636, appointing Thomas Bartlett to aid a Committee of the General Court in setting out "ye bownds of Roxebery and such Farmes as lye neer unto our Towne of Dedham."
(7) In 1738, the Dorchester line was moved back to the Neponset River and Dedham gained considerable territory in what is now the towns of Norwood and Westwood and in the Endicott and Oakdale portions of Dedham. In 1780, Dedham gained a part of Stoughton, and in 1868, it lost a small territory when Hyde Park was incorporated.
As early as January 28, 1636-7, Dedhan; acquired from some of its settlers 300 acres bought by them from Samuel Dudley, lying between Little River and the Spring Street section of Boston, known in our Town history as the "Purchased Meadows."

(S) See vote of the General Court, June 8. 1638: "For a final end of all differences between Watertown, Concord, and Dedham, concerning the bounds between the said towns, It is ordered that Watertown S miles shall be extend upon the line between them and Cam- bridge so far as Concord bounds will give leave, and that their hounds by the river shall run 8 miles into the country in a straight line, also as the river doth for the most part run and so take in all the land of that side of the river which will not fall into the square of 5 miles grinted to Dedham, and that the neck on the same side of the river near to Dedham shall be east into the said square of 5 miles to make up the same, so as the said square is to be accounted by the Quantity and not by the situ ction, because the place will not bear it, and that their 8 miles from Watertown Meeting House shall be by a line between both the other lines." By further votes of May 16, 1638, the Dedham- Roxbury hounds were rectified ; May 17, 1638, the Dedham-Dorchester bounds, and May 22, 1639, the Dedham-Watertown lines. There was much dispute as to the Dedham- Boston boundary and it was not settled until 1697. Memorlal History of Boston (1880) 1, p. 401.
(9) After 1630 and prior to the founding of Dedham, there were only two other maps known- one published by William Wood in New England's Prospect in 1634 (reproduced in Pal- frey's History of Massachusetts I, 360) ; and the other known as the "Waters-Winthrop Map" made in 1633 or 1634, as to which see Mass, Hist. Soc. Prne. (ISS) 1, N. S. 314, (1891) VI, N. S. 259, and (1892) VII, N. S. 335.
(10) It is evident from JJohn Winthrop's Journal that he did not know, prior to 1638, that Charles River Howed south of Cohasset or Scituate, for he wrote, December 13, 1639: "Another plot the old serpent had against us, by sowing jealousies and differences between us and our friends at Connecticut and also Plymouth. This latter was about our bounds. They had planted Scituate and had given out all the lands to Conyhasset (Cohasset). We desired only so much of the marshes there as might accommodate Hingham, which heing denied, we caused Charles River to be surveyed and found it came as far south- ward as would fetch in Scituate and more ; but this was referred to a meeting between us."
(11) The source of the River in 1791 was stated by the Massachusetts Commissioners to be just above Whiting Pond in Wrentham - Stop River being found to be the most southerly branch of Charles River.

(13) Besides Smith's man, there were, prior to 1630, a map by the French explorer, De Cham- plain, published in 1613, and illustrating his voyage along the New England coast ; a Dutch map of 1614 ; and Alexander's Map of 1624, appearing in Purchas' Plerims, III, 306, 1V, 1872. See as to Captain Smith's map and other early maps, interesting accounts in Memorial Illstory of Boston (1885) Chapter II, pp. 46-57; Narrative and Critical Ilstory of Amer- ira, Ed. by Justin Winsor (1884) 111, pp. 197-198, 381, 1, 109-111.
(14) John Winthrop wrote in 1629 in his General Ohservations for the Plantatlon of New Eng. Innd: "} will insist upon this one argument. A land overburdened with people may case itself, by sending a part into some other countries which he waste and not replenished : but such is the condition of our land. . . Many of our people perish for want of sus- tenance and employment, many others live miserably . . . The whole land of the Kingdom, as it is reckoned, is scarce sufficient to give employment to one half of the people ; all the towns complain of the burden of poor people and strive by all means to rid any such as they have and to keep off such as would come to them."
Ser Rellglans Perseentlon by Charles E. Banks, Muss. Hist. Soc. Puh. (1930) LXIII, 151: "The real reason behind the emigration of the vast proportion of those who came with and after Winthrop was economic. The average yeoman, artisan and husbandmen belonged to a class who had hopelessly slaved for generations as copyholders of the lords of the manor. Their outlook for improvement a profit was hopeless . .. Winthrop himself, in a letter to his wife just prior to his emigration, confesses that the compelling force of his decision to leave England was economic."
(15) In the Covenant of the Dedham men who founded the town of Medhield, there was a similar provision in 1651: "That if differences, questions or contentions shall fall out or arise any manner of ways in our Society, or betwixt any parties therein, they shall really endeavor to resolve and issue the same in the most peaceable ways and manner by reference, arbitration, or some other like means, before it shall come to any place of public judicature except it be in our own town."
(16) Watertown by a town vote of January 3, 1635, "agreed that no mian being foreigner com- ing out of England or some other plantation, shall have liberty to set down amongst us unless he first have the consent of the freemen of the town." So Medtield, in its Cove- nant of 1651 provided that: "We shall all of us in the said Town faithfully endeavor that only such be received to our Society and Township as we may have sullicient satis- faction in, that they are honest, peaceable, and free from scandal and erroneous opinions." So Braintree, by vote of 1641, ordered that land in the town should be sold "only to such as the townsmen shall approve on," nor could any one who was not received as an inhabitant huild within the town limits without permission.

(19) In 1728. a law of the lieneral Court allowed these inhabitants of a town who desired to attend Church of England services to have their taxes paid to a minister of that church ; and in this way the Episcopal Church in Dedham came into being in 1761.

Baptist by another denomination of Christians, finally unanimously decided by S(upreme) J (udicial) C(ourt) in favor of Baptist."
(20) Whether any Dedham mien took part in our Naval War with France in 1797-1798 is unknown.
(21) See Dlary of Dr. Nathaniel Ames, October 7, 1802: "Ebenezer Mason of Medfield hanged here for murder of Allen. Vast concourse. His body carried off by his relations, not buried as usual under the gallows. The rope broke and he was pulled up the second time and struggled much."
(22) The stage coaches ran four times a week to Providence, as early as 1765. Sce Dedham Historical Register VII, 15.
(23) This tavern known at various times as Clap's, Gay's, Gragg's, Smith's, and Bride's, was burned on October 30, 1832. On its site was built the Phoenix House which burned December 25, 1580.
(24) In the American Gazetteer, by Jedidiah Morse (1st Ed. 1797, 2d Ed. 1804), it is stated that: "A small stream furnishes water most part of the year to a grist mill, 2 sawmills, 2 fulling mills, and a leather mill, all in space of three quarters of a mile, Worthington's History of Dedham in 1827 states that there were then in the town: woolen factories, 2 cotton factories, 4 sawmills, 2 paper mills, 2 grist mills, 5 factories for making chairs and carriages, a factory for machinery and one to make ploughs."
(25) Dr. Nathaniel Ames noted in his Diary, January 16, 1814: "Suudry mechanics of Dedham meet with a lawyer at their head on the subject of a Bank in Dedham and subscribe it is said to a fund. F. A. and Deacon Bullard, T. Jay, Jr., and T. Richardson. Feb. 1814. Feds of Dedham petition to establish Bank ! Granted, Willard Gay, Jabez Chick- ering, James Richardson, Phineas Ellis, Gen. Elijah Crane."
(26) In May, 1786, the Town of Dedham in its instructions to its Representatives on the Legis- lature had said: "We are not unattentive to the ahnost universally prevailing complaints against the practice of the order of lawyers, and many of us now sensibly feel the effects of their unreasonable and extravagant exactions; we think their practice pernicious and their mode unconstitutional. You will, therefore, endeavor that such regulations be intro- duced into our courts of law, and suen restraints be laid on the order of lawyers as that we may have recourse to the laws and find our security and not our ruin in them. If, upon a fair discussion and mature deliberation, such a measure should appear imprac- ticable, you are to endeavor that the order of lawyers be totally abolished, an alternative preferable to their continuing in their present mode."
(27) The vote for Governor in Dedham in 1799 was-Heath (Antifederalist) 122, Sumner (Fed- eralist) 75; in 1800 (the year of Jefferson's election as President), it was-Gerry (Anti- federalist) 156, Strong (Federalist) 42; in 1804, Sullivan (Antifederalist) 138, Strong (Federalist) 41; in 1808, Sullivan (Antifederalist) 247, Gore (Federalist) 105; in 1812, it was-Gerry (Antifederalist) 299, Strong (Federalist) 172; in 1816 ,it was-Dexter (Anti- federalist) 252, Brooks ( Federalist) 159.

A Tribute
As the Tercentenary Film Pageant is the most enduring part of Dedham's Tercen- tenary celebration so equally enduring in the story of its production are the creative genius, the indefatigable energy, the inexhaustible resourcefulness, administrative skill and mechanical competence of its director, Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge, who conceived and instituted the pageant project, placing his time and talent as a voluntary offering at the service of his townspeople. Not in this instance alone but over a period of years Mr. Rutledge has earned the recognition accorded him as one of the town's most con- structive citizens and as a leader, not only in the affairs of his own Unitarian denomi- nation, but in every civic and cultural enterprise which benefits the citizens of Dedham.
