On April 24, 1755, the farms of Col. John Tyng, John Alford Tyng and Willard Hall, Junr., were set off from Chelmsford to Dunstable.
A small part of Chelmsford, including the estate of David Parker, was set off to Carlisle as incorporated, April 28, 1780. A portion of this area was set back to Chelmsford, March 1, 1783, but was re-annexed to Carlisle, February 17, 1865.
On September 23, 1729, the west precinct of Chelmsford was incorporated as Westford.
On March 1, 1826, the northeasterly part, bounding on the Merrimac and Concord rivers, was incorporated as the town of Lowell. Another portion was set off to Lowell, May 18, 1874; this act was accepted by the city of Lowell, June 23, and took effect, August 1 of the same year.

CHANGES.
In 1652, certain inhabitants of Concord and Woburn asked the General Court to allow them to examine the region later granted them-six miles square-and called Chelmsford. In 1656, an extension was granted of about three miles on the north side of the Town.
THE BLOOD FARMS.
The lines between Chelmsford, Concord and Billerica, and the farms of John and Robert Blood, were the cause of considerable controversy, which was settled in favor of Billerica. In 1694 a committee was appointed to run the lines between Concord and Chelmsford, Billerica, Wameset and the Blood Farms. Some vacant land was found which the committee claimed the right to grant.
The writer saw some time since in the keeping of Mr. George H. Robbins of Carlisle four old deeds dated 1666 and 1667, and bearing the signatures of Daniel Gookin and Thomas Danforth, which had to do with the Blood farms. They are written on parchment, deer-skin or bear-skin, and one of them showed the round hole made by the bullet which killed the animal. One also has a patch sewed on with a rawhide thong to cover a hole or tear in the skin.
Hazen's Billerica contains some facts concerning these farms. The Blood family have been represented in the neighboring towns. Robert married Elizabeth, daughter of Major Simon Willard and had twelve children. He died October 27, 1701.
This item is found in the Town records:

Vpon information of sundry ffarmes erected aboue the toune of Chelmsford, about Merremack Riuer, whose inhabitants pretend their sajd farmes to be out of the County of Midlesex, & possibly be not conteyned in any county, it is therefore ordered by this Court & the authority thereof, that all & euery the inhabitants of such farmes as there are or shall be improoued shall, in all points, haue their dependances vpon, & performe services, & beare chardges wth the sajd toune of Chelmsford, & that the sajd ffarmers repaire to the Courts of Midlesex for justice, & all, till this Court take further order, any lawe or custome to the contrary notwthstanding.

Feb. 2, 1685. "The toune in genorall chose Capt. Thomas hinchman Mr. John ffiske and Ser. Josiah Richarson to bee a Commity to treate with the Courtt and indianes about Wamaseke Neck of land in way of purchasing the same for the townes propriety.
In 1721, sundry inhabitants of Concord and Chelmsford were annexed to Littleton in regard to support of the ministry.
1725, May 23, certain lands in Chelmsford were annexed to Littleton.
1725, Dec. 24. Jonathan Bowers, Samuel Hunt and divers others, dwellers on the land called Wamesick Purchase and Win- throp Farm, which lands lie adjoining to Billerica between Paw- tucket and Chelmsford line, pray to be erected into a distinct town.
This was never acted upon by the General Court. Chelmsford opposed it, and secured the annexation of the greater part of the Wamesit purchase, June 13, 1726. For an account of the Wamesit purchase, see Chapter X.
1735, June 19. A petition was presented to the General Court, asking that Chelmsford, Billerica, Groton, Dunstable, Littleton, Westford, Dracut, Nottingham, Townshend, Lunenburg, Harvard, Tewksbury and Litchfield, in Middlesex and Worcester counties, might be made a new county. The Court ordered notice of the petition to be sent to each of the towns concerned, but nothing more was effectually done. Chelmsford aspired to become the shire town. The next year, it was voted in Town Meeting "that the agents for a new county be allowed for their servis as the Town will allow them, if they obtain this Town to be the Shear town." The condition has a pen mark drawn across it.
In 1752, "Began the long struggle to form a new town from the corners of Chelmsford, Concord, Bedford, Billerica and Acton."
In 1755, the Town voted to allow part of the District of Carlisle, the towns of Billerica, Chelmsford, Acton and Westford to be erected into a township or district.

The Journal of the House of Representatives, of June, 1757, says-A petition of sundry of the Inhabitants of the Towns of Concord, Chelmsford, Billerica and Acton in the County of Middlesex, shewing that they lie at so great a distance from the meeting houses in the several towns to which they belong that they cannot, without great difficulty and inconvenience, attend on the Public Worship; and praying that they may be erected into a separate Town or District. The petition was not sustained.
1800. Certain persons in the northeasterly part of the Town desired to be set off to unite with a part of Dracut. In Town meeting it was voted "that all that part of this Town that lyeth between the little canal and Merrimack river be set off."
1816. Captain John Ford and others petitioned to be incorporated into a new town. This Town was opposed to it.
PAWTUCKETVILLE (DRACUT).
In 1820, Feb. 1, the General Court passed an act by which a number of the citizens of East Chelmsford were (for parochial purposes) set off from Chelmsford to the Pawtucketville society. They were "to enjoy all the parochial privileges of the society and pay their proportion of all necessary charges that may arise for such purposes." The names of those set off were Phineas Whiting, Nathaniel Wright, John Ford, Silas Hoar, Artemas Holden, James Bowers, Jonathan Bowers, Samuel F. Wood, Nathan Tyler, Josiah Fletcher, John C. Hall, Otis Tyler, Nathan Tyler, Jr., Nathan Hunting, Nathan P. Ames, Joseph Dane, Ephraim Osgood, Simeon Parker, Lewis Butterfield, Zebulon Parker, Jeduthan Parker, Osgood Worcester, Joel Dix, Varnum Spalding, Robert Spalding, Micajah Bowers, Bradley Varnum, John Goulding, Samuel Hunt, Moses Chever, Jr., and Amos Proctor.
DRACUT.
The people who settled upon the north side of the Merrimack river sustained a peculiar relationship with Chelmsford. The grant of this Town did not extend beyond the river at any time; nevertheless, the people living there were regarded as citizens of the Town. They voted, paid taxes, and attended meeting in Chelmsford, and looked to the Town for protection. And when some of those people attempted to escape from their share of the burdens of taxation, on the ground that their farms were not in Chelmsford nor in the County of Middlesex, the General Court confirmed the relationship previously existing, and ordered that they "haue their dependancs vpon, & performe services, & beare chardges wth the sajd toune of Chelmsford"-"any lawe or cus- tome to the contrary notwthstanding, 1667, Oct. 9."
476
HISTORY OF CHELMSFORD
When "A tract of land called Dracut beyond Chelmsford" was made a township, the General Court decreed "that the inhabitants of said land assist in the maintenance of the ministry at the town of Chelmsford as at present they do, until they are provided with a minister as the law directs." It was not until 1720 that they had a settled pastor.
Still, the Town's relationship with the people on the north side of the river practically terminated with the incorporation of Dracut in 1701. Chelmsford took no formal action, however, until 1706, when it was "Voted that Draw Cutt shall not voat in Chelmsford."
WESTFORD.
The agitation for the formation of a precinct in the western part of the Town began in 1713. In town meeting, "March 2, 1713. Voted, that the town doth not esteme those petitioners that did petition to be a separate precinct capable at present." During fourteen years, a number of requests for a west precinct received similar treatment. "While the question was pending, the town of Littleton was incorporated, November 2, 1714; and the residents of that town doubtless selected their earliest location for a meeting-house and training-field, or common, near the boundary line of Chelmsford with the expectation that a portion of the westerly part of that town lying so remote from the centre would, at a future time, be annexed to Littleton. Several families were thus annexed for parish convenience, and so remained until the west parish of Chelmsford was formed, when they were disannexed from Littleton by the General Court and included in said west parish, and Littleton took early measures for removing their centre about one mile southwesterly of their early location." [Hodgman's Westford.] Allen gives the names of these families: Joshua Fletcher, Josiah Whitney, Benjamin Robbins, Moses Foster, Joseph Hildreth, John Reed and Samuel Chamberlain. These were "dismissed" from paying toward the support of the minister in Chelmsford as long as they paid in Littleton. Josiah Barrett paid in Littleton.
An Act of the General Court erecting the western part of the Town into a separate parish or precinct was passed in May, 1724.
1724-5 To Benj. Adams for time expended at Court and with the Committee and other time and writ- ting and money expended relating to the affair of the Precinct £10.13.02 To Capt. Clark for time and money expended at the Generall Court Relating to the precinct affair £00.16.06
The Court ordered that Chelmsford pay £100. to the west parish for their proportionable expense in building the meeting- house, 1710-12.

NASHOBA.
Nov. 1698 Joseph Easterbrook & Thomas Clark & several other inhabitants of Concord & Chelmsford asked for a grant of land for a Township commonly called Nashoba lying near unto the said towns-Elisha Hutchinson Esq. Maj. James Converse & Capt Jonathan Danforth were appointed a Comm. to examine into the quality & circumstances of the said land & that Henry Ashurst haue his grant of 1000 acres out of this tract if free. Major Jonathan Tyng was added to the Committee.

CARLISLE.
In 1754, Carlisle was a "district"; annexed to Concord two years later, and in 1780, established as a district, made up of parts of Acton, Billerica, Chelmsford and Concord. Carlisle was made a town in 1805.
March 1, 1783, David Parker's land was set off from Carlisle and annexed to Chelmsford.
DUNSTABLE.
In 1755, Jonathan Tyng and others of Chelmsford asked to be annexed to Dunstable, giving, as the reason, that they were five or six miles from the meeting house, and only a mile or two from a house then building in Dunstable. Numerous inhabitants of the latter asked that the petition be granted, as the 300 acres "would be of little consequence to the large and rich town of Chelmsford, and will be of some advantage to Dunstable." Ephraim Spaulding, agent for Chelmsford, petitioned the Court not to grant the prayer. It was granted, however, April 24, 1755. Hence "the extreme crookedness" of the line between Chelmsford and Tyngsborough.
[Massachusetts Archives, Vol. 116, p. 744.]
MIDDLESEX VILLAGE.
Middlesex Village (660 acres set off to Lowell in 1874), was so called because it was at the head of the Middlesex canal, and really came into existence because of the construction of that waterway, previous to which the only buildings there were the Clark tavern, the Howard house, the Bowers house, Clark's house at the ferry, and the Sawin house. Judge Hadley, in the first volume of the publications of the Lowell Historical Society,
479
TERRITORIAL LIMITS
gives a very entertaining account of life at this place. Almost all the houses in the village, some of them of good Colonial style, were built in the decade following 1820. "Whist parties, singing parties, and, among the younger portion, kissing parties, were common enough; while the elders met once a week at the house of Mrs. Baldwin, Mr. Wood, Deacon Adams, Mr. Smith or Mr. Tyler, for prayer and meditation, or the study of the Scriptures, in what was known as the Bible Class." In winter, balls were given at the tavern. "There were no round dances in those days. Fisher's Hornpipe, Money Musk, Chorus Jig, Portland Fancy, Lady Washington's Reel, Speed the Plough, and other old contra dances, which called for real dancing, and the cotillion, were in order." Then there was the "Chelmsford Appolonian Temperance Brass Band."
