Pearson was killed at the battle of Antie- tam, Samnel T. Jellison at Turkey Bend, Benjamin F. Stevens at Glendale, Thomas P. Lunt at Chancel- lorsville, John II. Brown May 24, 1864, and James Dunlap July 30, 1864, Sidney M Smith died August 26, 1864, Robert R. Menchin at date unknown, Henry P. Griffith November 3, 1862, Joseph W. Lunt at New York March 30, 1865, Jacob G. Clarkson at Fal- mouth, Virginia, January 19, 1863, Harrison W. Dear- born at Baton Rouge at date unknown, Walter Noyes January 4, 1863, and Nathaniel Noyes at Baton Rouge.

The town came out of the war with a heavy debt,

which, by prudent and skillful management on the part of the officers of the town, has been so far reduced as to promise its entire liquidation within the next two or three years.

The settlers of Newbury began at a very early date to give their attention to the education of their youth. In Newbury, as elsewhere in the Massachusetts and Plymouth Colonies, the main reliance of the people was for a time on private instruction, that of the family and of the pastor of the parish. In the Plymouth Col- ony, where the number of adventurers was large and of mechanies and hired men was small, the demand for public schools was not urgent until a comparatively late day. The number of children, as compared with intelligent heads of families capable of educating them, was small, and little necessity existed for public instruction until the wave of population crossed its borders from the sister colony. But in Massachusetts private instruction soon failed to suffice. Winthrop eame with fifteen hundred men, a large portion of whom were uneducated, and had children with them whom they were unable themselves to educate, and so numerons, that in self-defense the General Court was obliged at an early date to make some provision for the establishment of public schools.

In Newbury, the Rev. Mr. Parker and his colleague, Rev. Mr. Noyes, were both educated men, and with their knowledge of Latin and Greek undoubtedly rendered valuable service in the cause of education, but probably in the direction chiefly of fitting young men for the new college at Cambridge. It is probable that Rev. James Bailey, a Harvard graduate of 1669, Rev. Shubael Dummer, a graduate of 1656, Rev. Jos- eph Gerrish, a graduate of 1669, Rev. James Noyes, Jr., a graduate of 1659, Judge Samnel Sewall, a graduate of 1671, Rev. Timothy Woodbridge, a graduate of 1674, and Rev. John Woodbridge, a graduate of 1664, were qualified for admission to college by one or the other of the first two pastors of Newbury.

In 1639, however, Anthony Somerby appeared in Newbury and was appointed schoolmaster by the town, with a grant of "four acres of land near the river Parker and some meadow land," as an induce- ment to keep school for a year. Mr. O. B. Merrill thinks it possible that he kept a part of the time near Frog Pond, as in the laying out of the lots in the new town " ffrog meadow " was assigned to Master Somerby. In 1652 it was voted to build a school-house, and £20 a year was appropriated for the support of the school. This school, like all others in Newbury before 1719, was supported partly by tuition charged to all the scholars, and not until the above date were the schools of Newbury made absolutely free. In 1658 Newbury was admonished for not maintaining a " lattin scule," and fined £5, to be paid to the Ipswich Latin School, " if bye the next courte they do not provyde a lattin scule master according to law." In 1675 Henry Short was employed as a teacher and was promised £5 for his first half-year, and sixpence a week from each

scholar. The next year he was hired also, and if there were twenty boys the school was to be kept in the watch-house. The number of scholars was only seventeen, and Mr. Short taught them at his own house.

After Newbury became divided into three villages- the old town, the new town and the West District-it was for a long time a contested question where the school of the town should be kept. Up to 1691 the school was kept in the neighborhood of the old town settlement, but in that year a vote was passed requir- ing it to be kept one-third of the year in each village. Mr. Seth Shove, a graduate of Harvard in 1687, was hired as a teacher, and it was stipulated that he should teach "readers" free, Latin scholars at sixpence a week and "cipherers " fourpence a week. In 1695 Rev. Christopher Toppan, a graduate of Harvard in 1691, and afterwards the pastor of the First Parish, was employed, with the promise of " £20 in money and £300 in good country pay so long as he shall carry on half the ministry, and £30 in good country pay as long as he shall keep the writing and grammar school." try pay and £50 in money. Nicholas Webster, a graduate of Harvard in 1695, was the next teacher, with a salary of £30 in country pay, fourpence a week for Latin scholars and nothing from "readers, writers and cipherers." lu 1700 Richard Brown, a graduate of Harvard in 1697, was employed and taught until 17I1, when he was ordained as minister at Reading. Mr. Brown was also town elerk from October 30, 1706, to October 9, 1711, and at his resignation said :

" I have served Newbury as school-master eleven years, and as Town Clerk five and a half years, and have been repaid with abuse, ingrati- tude and contempt. I have sent nigh as many to college as all the masters before since the Reverend and learned Parker. Those I bred think themselves better than their master (God make them better still), and yet they may remember the foundation of all their growing greatness was laid in the sweat of my brow. I pray that from un- acknowledging Newbury may get them that may serve them better and find thanks when they have done. If to find a house for the school two years when the town had none ; if to take the scholars to my own fire when there was no wood at school as frequently ; if to give records to the poor and record their births and deaths gratis deserves acknowl- edgement then it is my due, but hard to come by."

In 1713 John Woodbridge, a graduate of Harvard in 1694, was employed at twenty-five pounds per year and kept the school eighteen years, with a salary at no time exceeding forty pounds. In 1728 the town voted thirty pounds for each of the three parishes and the Third Parish, which included substantially the ter- ritory which was incorporated as Newburyport in 1764, added thirty pounds to its share and established a school near the head of Market Street. In 1731 this parish voted 'sixty pounds for the support of a school and also voted that no children should attend unless they could read in a psalter. In 1732 Stephen Sewall, a graduate of Harvard in 1731, succeeded Mr. Wood- bridge and taught for nearly fifty years. The town appropriated one hundred and sixty pounds, and what remained after supporting the Grammar School was

to be divided pro rata between the parishes for the education of their youth. 1n 1733 the Third Parish voted to support a school at its own expense, and in the same year the town voted forty-pounds for the support of a grammar school on the west side of the Artichoke River. In 1736 the General Court author- ized the Third Parish to raise money for its own school, and exempted it from paying for the support of any other school, and in 1740 this parish raised one hundred and twenty pounds for a grammar school, to be taught by Samuel Moody, and a writing school, under the instruction of Leonard Cotton.

In 1753 the town voted that a writing school be kept one year in each parish "until it has served the whole town." In 1763 the town voted to build a grammar school house near the head of Fish Street, and in 1774, fifteen years after the incorporation of Newburyport, Samuel Moody made a donation of one hundred pounds to the town in addition to a previous gift of twenty pounds for the purpose of creating a fund for a grammar school.

But it is useless to go further into details eoncern- The next year his salary was raised to £300 in coun- ing the schools. It is sufficient to say that the school system after the Revolution grew rapidly in favor with the people and steadily advanced in usefulness. In 1821 the town was divided into nine school districts, each of which had its school, though the territory, popu- lation and wealth of the town had been only two years before largely diminished by the incorporation of West Newbury. At present there are the following schools in the town : the Lower Green, the Ridge, the Upper Green, the Farm, the South Byfiekl, the Byfield Prim- ary and the Byfield Grammar Schools, with a total at- tendanee of about two hundred and forty scholars.

The early industries of Newbury were chiefly those connected with saw-mills and grist-mills and fulling-mills. Some of the earliest of these have been referred to. At a later day tan-yards were established and rope-walks were built ; but in recent years, since the incorporation of Newburyport and West New- bury and the further annexation of territory to New- buryport, its old industries have either, with few ex- ceptions, died out or, as in the case of the chief indus- try of ship-building, been transferred by legislative aets to the newly-formed municipalities. Those still remaining are at the Mill village in the Byfield Parish. In 1794 the first incorporated woolen com- pany in the State built a factory at Dummer's Falls, the machinery for which was made by Guppy & Armstrong, of Newburyport.

The early history of this mill is not without its in- terest. In 1793, John and Arthur Schofield, sons of Arthur Schofield, who lived at Standish-foot, in Sad- dleworth, Yorkshire, came to New England and set- tled first in Charlestown. There they began to make patterns for the machinery of a woolen-mill, and Rev. Jedediah Morse, of Charlestown, became interested in their work. Mr. Morse was then engaged with Rev. Elijah Parish, of Byfield, in writing a "Ilistory of

109

HISTORY OF ESSEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.

New England," and through the two clergymen the Schofields became acquainted with capitalists in Newburyport. The result was that William Bartlett and Benjamin Greenleaf and others became suffi- ciently interested in the enterprise proposed by them, to procure an act of incorporation as the "Proprietors of the Newburyport Woolen Company." The per- sons named in the act were Benjamin Greenleaf, Philip Auben, Wm. Bartlett, Offin Boardman, Jr., Moses Brown, David Coffin, Wm. Coombs, John Coombs, Mark Fitz, Abel Greenleaf, John Greenleaf, Andrew Frothingham, Jonathan Gage, Michael Hodge, Wmn. Pierce Johnson, Nicholas Johnson, James Kittell, Nathaniel Knapp, James Knight, Peter Le Briton, Joseph Moulton, Wm. Noyes, John P. Bryan, Theophilus Parsons, James Prince, Wm. Welstead Pront, Edward Rand, Joseph Stanwood, Ebenezer Wheelwright and Edward Wigglesworth.

In the same year Paul Moody, of Newbury, sold to the corporation six acres of land, partly covered with water, for four hundred and fifty pounds, and also his grist-mill, "together with the stream of water com- monly called the Falls River, with the right of flow- age," etc. This land was a part of that granted by the town to John Spencer and Richard Dummer to build a mill upon in 1636, and was sold by Nathaniel Dummer, in 1710, to William Moody, the grandfather of the grantor to the woolen company, in 1794. In the mean time the Schofields had removed, in Decem- ber, 1793, to Newburyport, and at once began to con- struct a carding-machine, which was put together in a room of the stable of Timothy Dexter. This was the first carding-machine made in this country. This and other experiments proving satisfactory, the By- field factory was built and finished in 1795, when the Schofields, who had been for a few months engaged in Newburyport in the manufacture of woolen cloth by hand, sold their machines to the corporation and removed to Byfield to superintend the mill. They re- mained in Byfield about five years, when John re- moved to Montville, Connecticut, and Arthur to Pitts- field, Massachusetts.

In 1804 William Bartlett, who had obtained posses- sion of the mill, sold it to John Lees for eight thou- sand five hundred dollars, who converted it into a cotton factory, and for a time was successful. Re- verses, however, came to him, and in 1824 the mill was sold by Deputy-Sheriff Philip Bayley to Gorham Parsons. Mr. Parsons repaired and rearranged the mill, and about the year 1830 leased it to Wm. Cleaveland, who for several years was engaged in the manufacture of cotton cloth. Mr. Gorham Parsons subsequently sold it to Theophilus Parsons, who again sold it to M. E. Ilale, of Newburyport. By Mr. Hale it was sold to Dr. Francis V. Noyes, who leased it as a bedstead and cabinet-shop. It was afterwards owned by Alfred Durant, with his brother, Rev. Henry Du- rant, and finally by Charles Hold, during whose own- ership it was burned. After the fire the land and

privilege were bought by Leonard Morrison, who re- built it for a fancy yarn mill, and at the present time, under the ownership of H. U. Ewing and others of Boston, it is employed in the manufacture of blankets.

Besides the woolen-mill there are on the river two snuff-mills, and near the railroad station at Byfield a shoe-factory, carried on by Mr. J. O. Rogers, with a product of about one thousand cases a year.

The business of ship-building in Newbury was first carried on on the river Parker. The vessels built there were probably small sloops of light draught, and no positive record exists concerning them. Hon. John J. Currier, in his valuable pamphlet on ship- building on the Merrimac, adduces evidence to show that on that river vessels were built as early as 1652. In the year 1652 mention is made of " an old build- ing yard " on Carr's Island, and Mr. Currier furnishes a list of vessels built in Newbury for English owners between 1698 and 1713. From those early times down to 1851, when Newbury was cut off from the upper shore of the river by the annexation of a por- tion of its territory to Newburyport, ship-building continued to be its leading industry. The following vessels were built in Newbury and registered by the anthority of the government of the province of Mas- sachusetts Bay :
