MARSHALL. 1. John, was granted a six acre lot, 1656-7. Feb. 4. We know not whence he came, or whose son he was. His age, at death. given by grave-stone, fixes his birth in 1632; much more probable than the statement of a deposition in the Mass. Archives. which makes him 15 years older. His first allotment was 20 acres, " lying partly on the township and
. partly on the comons; bounded by John Sheldon, north; by the comons, east ; by Peter Bracket, south; by Mr. Whiting and William Pattin, west; and a parcel of land reserved for ye ministry, on ye west, and partly on ye south, and partly by East street on the south-west." The last bound is a reminiscence of the ancient Andover road, before it was changed in 1660. to its present place, and the location is east of the narrow gauge railroad line. as it runs south from the street. When the road was altered. he was allowed a private way across Sheldon's land, to reach it. He had later grants farther east. by loes' plain, and sold his first grant, above-described, to Dr. Samuel Frost, 1. The road running east, across loes' plain, was

In 1661, this record is made: "Whereas the east street was changed by laying out ye country road to andever, and laid crosse ye middle of the house-lot of golden more. for recompense of damage done to him thereby, the committee impowered in that worke did grant to him all that part of ye former highway from long street. until you come to ye siller forge of John Shildon; and ye said golden declared himselfe fully satisfied."
