LIBRARIES. Mr. Farmer mentions the first "Social Library" in Billerica instituted in 1772 and one of the earliest in Massachusetts. and a Second Social Library was incorporated in 1807. One of these libraries apparently became the property of the First Parish, and the other of a Ladies' Sewing Society ; and for many years they have been kept, practically united, in a room of the First Church, in the care of Miss Sarah Annable as librarian, who, in 1876, reported seven hundred volumes. These have now passed to the custody of the new library.
It had long been felt that the provision for the needs of the town in this respect was inadequate; and in 1880 the generous munificence of Mrs. Joshua Bennett laid the foundation for their better supply. The handsome building, of which we give a good illustration, standing just north of the First Church, has been erected at her expense and deeded to the Bennett Public Library Association ; and her daughters, Mrs. Holden and Mrs. Warren, have contributed $2000 to its furnishing and the purchase of books, a good beginning for the growth which time may be expected to bring. A fee of five dollars is received for membership, and twenty- five dollars constitutes a life member of the association : but the use of books, without other privilege, is granted for the annual payment of one dollar. The building contains a library, with capacity for ten or twelve thousand volumes, which may be doubled by the use of alcoves ; a reading-room, a committee-room, and a handsome entrance hall and cloak-room. The reading-room is ornamented with a wide fireplace and beautiful mantel of unique design, contrib- uted by William W. Warren, Esq., and the front of the building is enriched by a fine rose-window, the gift of Mr. Joshua Holden. Mr. William H. Osborn, of New York, also gave the lot on which
316
HISTORY OF BILLERICA.
the library stands. The town owes much to Mrs. Bennett and her family for this timely and good foundation. It must exert a stimu- lating influence, and give a more generous culture to the coming generations who shall enjoy its privileges ; and will contribute much to the prosperity and attractiveness of the town.
A similar service has been rendered at North Billerica by the Messrs. Talbot ; although the library which they have. founded is intended primarily for their own employées, and its management is in their hands; but its use for a small fee is open to all. They erected, in 1880, a building connected with their factory, shown in the illustration as a front wing, the second story of which is devoted to the library and reading-room. It is supplied with more than a thousand volumes, a number which will be increased and well used under the judicious care of the Talbot Library Association.
It is proper that record be made here of two historical incidents. In 1855 the town formally and fitly celebrated the two hundredth anniversary of its foundation. The Rev. Joseph Richardson, of Hingham, a loyal son of the town, gave a historical oration, which was published, with other proceedings of the day, in a valuable pamphlet. That celebration had no little influence in awakening and stimulating the interest in the early life of the town, which has found expression in its repeated later action. looking to the publication of this volume and providing for it.
A similar event was the celebration held, 1876, July 4. The centennial year of the United States naturally awakened renewed interest in historical subjects and led to many local commemorations. The Rev. Elias Nason responded effectively to an invitation of citi- zens to give a historical oration in Billerica ; and the day will be long remembered by those who shared in the festivities in the beautiful grove southeast of the middle bridge. This oration also, with other . record of the day, has been published.
Some of the Indian names frequently mentioned in this volume suggest an interesting question of their meaning. This question, rather than hazard conjectures, I have submitted to the Hon. J. H. Trumbull, of Hartford, Connecticut, the only living man who can read Eliot's Indian Bible, and who is recognized as the highest authority as to the meaning of Indian words. He writes under date. 5 May, 1882 :-
317
MISCELLANEOUS AND FINAL.
.. Pawtucket signifies 'at the falls,' (see Indian Names in Connecticut. p. 49). Wamesit (Wamesut. Eliot) is . at the bottom of the fall'; literally. . at the going down.' So Eliot locates it: . Wamesut . lyeth at the bottom of the Riuer Merymak.' (Brief Narrative. 1670.) Gookin says, .where Concord riuer falleth into Merimack riuer.' The same name occurs in Rhode Island, as Wampmessuck, below the falls on Pawtuxet River; and Woonsocket is another derivative from the same root.
.. Shawshin has lost an initial syllable, or a single obscure consonant. probably m or n. (i. e. n'shau or m'shau) ; possibly some other sound. It has no meaning in the form in which it comes to us. If I were familiar with the topography of the township. I think the name would interpret itself; but. as I am not, I will not hazard a guess. Nor can I confidently give the signification of Naticook or Naticott." In a later note. he adds : "That there is any affinity between the name Connecticut and Naticot or Naticook is highly improbable. Such affinity can not be established unless it be shown that Naticet has lost an initial sound of Co, or Qui, or Quo. Vaticook apparently is nearly related to Natick, the name of several localities in New England; and perhaps to Nantucket, formerly written Natocho. etc." Nacook. the name of a brook in Dustable, must also be akin.
The Psalmist sings of Jerusalem as " beautiful for situation," and the sons of Billerica, native or adopted, may justly speak her praise with similar enthusiasm. She has rivers, and ponds, and hills, with mountains in the distant background, affording a picturesque diversity of landscape. The Shawshin winds dreamily through its meadows on the east, and on the west is the Concord, much larger, but almost as sluggish. until it reaches the fordway and falls at North Billerica. West of the Concord is Broad meadow, on the north ; Gilson Hill. with its fine outline in the centre, and the beautiful Winning's Pond in the south, flanked by highlands towards the river, which were early known as "Farley" Ilill. Still farther southeast, in Carlisle, is the "long hill" of the fathers, with "long hill meadow," still partly in Billerica. East of the Shawshin, the head waters of Ipswich River are found, in Lubber's Brook, and Danforth's "Stop" Brook is south of the Woburn Road, but no highlands find room within the mile of breadth here belonging to Billerica. The central swell of land between the two rivers has southerly the picturesque Nutting's Pond, with Indian Hill on its northern side and on the east a plateau rising to the north, and, beyond a depression, terminating in Bare Hill. This hill is flanked by meadows, beyond which is the elevated ground on which the village is built, sloping towards the Concord, at the Corner. Fox Hill stands guard on the northeast of the village, descending rather abruptly to the lowlands and meadows along Fox

Brook, on the northwest, and Content Brook below as it winds toward the Shawshin, and welcomes the "Little Content" on its way, the latter rising east of Fox Hill. Another considerable brook runs southeast from Fox Hill to the Shawshin ; 5 and Web's Brook, rising northeast of Bare Ilill, pursues the same course.
The swelling ground on which the village stands, while not very high, is sufficiently elevated to give a wide view of the country in all directions. It may have interest to survey the scene in imagi- nation from the tower of the First Church. The spire of the North Tewksbury church is very nearly north and may be our starting point. When the atmospheric conditions are very favorable, a rounded summit may be dimly seen, which is almost certainly Gunstock Mountain, south of Lake Winnepesaukee, and sixty-five miles distant. Mt. Washington is in the same direction, and if it were otherwise possible to see this monarch of the White Mountains Gunstock would hide it. About twelve degrees east is Patuckawa, in Deerfield, New Hampshire, thirty-nine miles distant, and passing as much farther we come to Prospect Hill, once a Billerica landmark and watch-tower in days of Indian warfare. Then the village of Tewksbury and State Alms-house, and a little farther east a summit is to be seen, when the conditions favor, which may be Agamenticus, fifty-four miles away. "The village and seminary buildings at Andover are hidden by Fox Hill, but Holt's Hill, southeast of Andover, marks the locality. Then coming almost to the east point we reach the vast building of the Insane Asylum; at Danvers, and passing the east point as far come to the tower of the church in Wilmington, and, a little farther, Reading appears. A glimpse of the Woburn spires follows, and then the church in Burlington, but the Burlington highlands hide from view Bunker Hill Monument and the State House. Next come Arlington Heights and Blue Hill in Milton, Lexington, and Bedford, which marks the south point. Concord then shows its spires, and after a wider interval, about ten degrees south of west, Wachusett lifts its rounded and conspicuous summit. The spires of Westford cut the horizon as much north of west, and just beyond, in the distance, the singular head of Watatic, in Ashby, appears. Then we come to Gilson's Hill in the foreground, and, beyond and just south of it, Robin's Ilill, in Chelmsford, and Kidder's Mountain. in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, thirty-four miles distant.
5 This brook is sometimes called Wright's, but is so favorite a fishing ground of our ex-governor that it might fitly be christened "Talbot's" Brook.
319
MISCELLANEOUS AND FINAL.
This brings us to the monarch of the whole circle, Monadnock, whose sharp and grand crest must not be mistaken for some lower height less than forty-seven miles away. Farther north are two conspicuous and fine summits, called, on the recent official map of New Hampshire, Pack-Monadnock, but popularly known as Temple and Peterborough mountains. North of the latter, and through a depression in the hills which gives the railroad a passage-way, a rounded summit may be occasionally seen with beautiful distinctness against the evening sky. which I suppose to be Bald Mountain, in Antrim. Lyndeborough Mountain is succeeded by Crochet Mountain, in Francestown, with it's longer crest ; then Jo English Hill and, near by, the village of Mont Vernon. Just beyond, a very distant summit may sometimes be seen, which is possibly Sunapee Mountain, sixty-eight miles distant, but probably some height not quite so far; and the circle is rounded by the Uncanoonucks, in Goffstown, with North Chelmsford and Lowell in the foreground.
The chief interest of such an itinerary, if it has any, will be to those who may have opportunity to follow it for themselves and fill in the outline with other details. But it will serve to suggest to any one the broad expanse of hills, and plains, and streams, over which the eye travels to the distant summits. These, clothed in their ever changing attire of sunshine and shadow, afford a panorama of peculiar beauty and grandeur. To watch the play of cloud and storm as they travel over such a range is instructive and delightful ; while the sunshine, with its shadows and above all its sunsets, is surpassing. The praises of Andover sunsets have been sung more widely, as generations of students have come and feasted and gone out over the earth. But I have had opportunity to enjoy and study both, and I do not look to see, this side of the gates of pearl, any similar vision more indescribable in its beauty and glory than I have often witnessed in Billerica sunsets.

GENEALOGICAL R EGISTER.
The following record of families is designed to include all names and dates occuring in the town records of births. marriages and deaths. prior to 1800. Since that date. records which have been furnished by families. continuations of earlier families, and such others as the compiler has been able to gather. are added, but with no attempt at completeness, which was for obvious reasons impracticable.
The three volumes of records of births. marriages and deaths before 1840, furnish the basis of this register. Additions and corrections have been gathered from various sources, of which the following should be mentioned :-
1. The tax-lists. which are consecutive. from 1733 to 1800, and other town records.
2. The record of baptisms of the First Church, extending from 1748 to 1834.
3. Probate records and the registry of deeds.
4. Inscriptions upon grave-stones.
5. Family records and the memories of individuals.
6. Family genealogies and histories of other towns.
. 7. The important collections of
the New England Historical Genealogical Society, and the Register, which it has long published. The plan of this record is simple, and the abbreviations used are common and self-explanatory. Successive families, bearing the same name. are numbered, and the same heavy-faced number is used after the name. where the person is previously mentioned as a child, and in connection with his marriage. elsewhere. When a son is afterwards mentioned as the father of a family, this reference figure following his name indicates the fact and the place where his family will be found, and if the figure does not follow a child's name. no family follows.
The completeness of such a record can be only approximate. The years of research, represented by Bond's Watertown and Wyman's Charlestown Genealogies, have not been at the command of this compiler, and he can only say that he has done the best he could. in the short time at his disposal. Some errors of the records and of previous explorers. he has corrected, and if he has not added more than his own share to the mistakes to which all such work is exposed, it is as much as he can hope for. Charity is a s a lesson
which one must needs learn who delves in such records and labors. and it should not detract from the esteem, approaching reverence, in which Billerica properly holds the services of Jonathan Danforth, to note the fact that an error is found in his record of birth of the first son and the first daughter of the town. Trusting that this register will be found of value to the old town, to her sons and daughters abroad, and to genealogical investigators, the author commits his work to their charitable judgment.
