76. 270. Amos, M. D., had his residence in Milton, at first in the village, after- wards upon Milton Hill, and was one of the most eminent medical men in the county during the whole period in which he lived. He had not the advan- tage of a collegiate education ; but this infelicity was more than compensated by the experience he acquired in the service of his country as army surgeon, and by his subsequent residence for several months in France, where his time was profitably occupied in witnessing the practice of the hospitals, and thus adding to his stores of practical knowledge. Endowed by nature with an elegant person, he added to it a courteousness of address and suavity of man- ners which won him favor in whatever circle he moved. He was beloved as a physician and citizen, and sustained his popularity undiminished to the close of a long life. For many years he engrossed the principal medical business of Dorch. as well as Milton. A very just sketch of his character, by his friend and pupil, Dr. Thaddeus W. Harris, was published in the Boston Courier soon after his death, and thence copied into the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of Jly. 13, 1842, and subsequently by Dr. Williams into his Medical Biography.

CHAPTER III.
4. William Holbrooke,2 Capt. and Dea., purchased in 1660, land in Coni- hasset, but did not, as Rev. Mr. Deane supposes, settle early upon it. He remained at Weym. In 1662, he was one of 10 citizens of W., who were accepted to allotments of land in Mendon, by the original grantee of that township, and was with associates to be settled there by 7mo., 1663. He there had a house lot of 40 acres assigned him, which with his interest in the common lands he must have secured by taking possession. This lot he sold, Dec. 2, 1679, to his nephew Peter ; and other lands which he, as a proprietor of Mendon, drew, he sold to his brothers, John and Tho. In 1670, he bought of Moses Paine 40 acres E. of Mendon village. His propriety was inherited by his heirs, who as late as 1729 drew in his right 165 acres W. of Great River [Uxbridge].
