sheltered seven generations. The reservoir of the Newton Water Works occupies a portion of this land. By subsequent purchases of land, he increased his forty-five acres to about five hundred acres, which he distributed among his sons by deeds of gift seven years previous to his decease.
WARD JOHN, son of John (d. 1727), by will gave all his estate, housing, lands and quarter part of his grist-mill, after the decease of his wife, to his son-in-law Deacon William Trowbridge. " He directs that there shall be an open highway from his house to the brook, where the causeway is by the old house ; and another open highway for the house of Eleazer Ward to meet the aforesaid high- way ; also an open highway to run west till it comes to the Cam- bridge lots."
WARD, DEACON EPHRAIM, son of Deacon Richard Ward (d. 1772), took the ancient garrison house homestead.
WARD, DEACON JOSEPH (d. 1784), lived in the West Parish, a blacksmith by trade. In 1732 he bought twenty-nine acres of land of Solomon Park, called " the Plain," bounded east by the county road, northeast and north by Jeremiah Fuller, and northwest by the town road. Also, twenty acres bounded north by town road, northwest and west by Captain Fuller, for £430. His son, Deacon Enoch Ward (d. 1789), took the homestead.

wards owned and occupied by his son, Deacon Ebenezer Davis White and later by George Folling, Esq. It was on Ward Street towards the cast part of the town and extended south to the slope of Institution Hill.
WHITNEY, TIMOTHY, from Roxbury, bought of John Prentice, of Preston, Connecticut, and Ebenezer Prentice, of Newton, grand- sons of Thomas Prentice, senior, the farm and buildings of said Prentice at the south part of the town in 1728 for £615. This was the last residence of Thomas Prentice, senior.
WILLIAMS, CAPTAIN ISAAC (d. 1707), removed to the west part of Cambridge Village about 1660, and bought the tract of land which was granted in 1640 to Major Samuel Shepard by the pro- prietors of Cambridge, bounded north by Charles River, south by the Common lands, west by land of Herbert Pelham, Esq., and east by land granted to Joseph Cook. Major Shepard had erected a dwelling-house and barn upon this tract before 1652, in which year Robert Barrington obtained judgment against Shepard for £590, and this tract of land was appraised at £150, and set off to satisfy the execution in part. Deacon William Park took this land at the appraisal, for his son-in-law Isaac Williams. The house stood about ten rods north of Cheesecake Brook, and about thirty rods northeast of the West Parish meeting-house. It was taken down by Williams, who built another very near the same spot, which was pulled down in 1818. In 1704, he conveyed by deed of gift to his youngest son Ephraim his "then dwelling-house and barn, with the land and meadow adjacent, being all the land under my improvement, and all the land on the east end of my farm called ' the new field,' and half the land in ' the old field,' that is, all on the north side of the cartway now occupied by my son Eleazer, and all the woodland at the west end of Eleazer's line, -- being the whole tract of land between the Fuller line and the causeway over the meadow leading to the island, only reserving half my said dwelling-house and fire wood for my dear and loving wife Judith during her life ; also a piece of meadow on the south side of the land, called 'the Island,' containing about six acres, and one acre of salt marsh in Cambridge." The will was set aside as being "imperfect and insensible," and the estate was settled by mutual agreement among the children. Three sons took all their father's land in Newton, five hundred acres, paying and providing for the other heirs as stipulated in the agreement, which also

provided for the laying out of two or three highways through the lands.
WILLIAMS, ELEAZER, married Mary, daughter of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart. In 1708 he sold part of his land from his father's estate (see the preceding article) to Captain Thomas Oliver. He and his wife Mary in 1715 conveyed their rights in the homestead of her father in Newton, containing one hundred acres, to Rev. John Cotton. Thomas Williams, another son of Captain Isaac Williams, also sold part of his land to Captain Thomas Oliver.
WILLIAMS, COLONEL EPHRAIM (d. 1754), the youngest son of Captain Isaac Williams, founder of Williams College. In 1717 he sold the ancient mansion and seventy acres of land to Jonathan Park for £300, " bounded northeast by a white oak tree marked by the line of the Fuller farm." He removed from Newton in 1739.
WILLIAMS, WILLIAM, son of Isaac, jr., a housewright, of Watertown, in 1737 sold fifty-five acres of land to Dr. Samuel Wheat for £300, bounded east by the gangway through the farm of the late Captain Isaac Williams, adjoining land of the College, of Richard Coolidge and of Dr. Wheat.

Prentice, 2d, or senior, in 1692. His son Benjamin Wilson, in the division of the estate, had forty acres on the north side ; Isaac Wilson forty-seven acres on the west end, with the house ; the east end, seventy-four acres, being the residue, he paying £79.
WINCHESTER, STEPHEN (d. 1751), purchased land in Newton about 1720, being the southwest part of the Haynes' farm, and built a house. In 1724 he sold seven acres of land to John Hyde, jr., for £44; the highway ran through it. It was bounded south- east by John Hyde, senior, northeast by Nathaniel Longley and Paul Dudley, Esq. ; northwest by John Winchester, and south- west by his remaining land.

His farm in the Village consisted of about four hundred acres, including the Pond which bears his name, being the northerly part of the grant of one thou- sand acres made by the General Court to Governor Haynes in 1634, His house stood upon the southerly bank of the pond, and was afterwards owned and occupied by Deacon Luther Paul and his heirs. The front part of the house was built in 1744 by the elder's great-grandson, Captain Noah Wiswall, and stands on the same spot chosen by the elder. His inventory specifies two hun- dred and seven acres of land.
WISWALL, CAPTAIN NOAH. His son Thomas bought out the other heirs and took the homestead of Captain Noah Wiswall in 1698, and purchased the widow's thirds in 1703. This homestead was probably the southerly part of Elder Wiswall's farm. The widow of Captain Noah Wiswall had ninety acres, and his son Thomas ninety-five acres.
158

WISWALL, LIEUTENANT EBENEZER, son of Elder Thomas Wis- wall, (d. 1691). His house, barn and ninety-five acres of land were appraised at £230. This was probably the residue of the elder's homestead. His executors sold his estate, one hundred and twenty acres more or less, in 1694, to Nathaniel Parker, with barn and outhouses thereon, bounded west and northwest by land of Thomas Wiswall ; south by land in possession of the widow Sarah Wiswall.
WISWALL, LIEUTENANT THOMAS, son of Captain Noah (d. 1709), took the homestead of his father.

WOODWARD, JOHN, son of George Woodward, and grandson of Richard Woodward, from England, (d. 1676). His father-in-law, Richard Robbins, of Cambridge, conveyed to him and his wife Rebecca, thirty acres of land in Cambridge Village, near the Upper Falls, bounded south by Charles River, north by a way leading to the Lower Falls, east by land of Esq. Pelham. On this tract he built a dwelling-house which is still standing, and occu- pied by his descendants of the sixth and seventh generations.

CHAPTER XII.
ROADS AND STREETS OF NEWTON .- FROM WATERTOWN TO ROXBURY. ROADS TO THE MEETING-HOUSE .- TO ROXBURY. - FROM WATER- TOWN TO DEDHAM .- FROM BROOKLINE TO THE LOWER FALLS. ROAD THROUGH THE FULLER FARM.
THE network of roads and streets, in a town redeemed from the wilderness, is the slow growth of many years, and in the earlier periods it is not always easy to trace their progress and comple- tion. At first a footpath or cartway runs between the house of Goodman A. and Goodman B, trodden on the surface of the rich loam. Then, as the population and the buildings increase, the pathway is gradually extended. In process of time, the conven- ience of intercourse and traffic demands a better road, and a harder surface is produced by labor. By and by, the citizens find it desir- able to work a passage through obstructions, instead of travelling around them. And often, the road is a fixed fact for many years before it is an acknowledged and accepted townway. So the streets of a populous neighborhood grow up by degrees, and no history of their inception or progress is recorded.
It appears from the Records of Cambridge that while Newton was still a part of Cambridge, the south side of the river (Newton) had already received attention in the matter of roads. The Town Records of Cambridge, and, subsequently, of Newton, report from time to time provision for laying out new roads and renewing the bound-marks of roads already existing. Some of these new roads are "staked out where the path is now trodden,"- showing that the inhabitants took a hint of the necessity of new avenues, where the paths trodden indicated the need of such accommodation. As early as 1653, - and this was the first action of the town in regard to highways,-Mr. Edward Jackson,-whose farm commenced

near the division line between Newton and Brighton, - Edward Oakes and Thomas Danforth " were appointed by the townsmen of Cambridge to lay out all necessary highways on the south side of the river, and agree with the proprietors of the land for the same, by exchange for Common land or otherwise at their discretion." Four years later, in 1657, " Mr. Edward Jackson, John Jackson, Richard Park and Samuel Hyde were appointed a committee to lay out and settle the highways in reference to the proprietors at that end of the town, otherwise than by crossing any part of the Com- mon, as need shall require." In 1671, a committee, consisting of Samuel Champney, John Jackson and Thomas Oliver, reported to the town of Cambridge that they judged it "needful that there should be an open and stated highway laid out and bounded, four rods wide, from the Boston [Brookline] bounds, along through Elder Wiswall's farm, through Mr. Haynes' farm, and from thence to pass along through the small lots to the Falls, and so quite through to the Dedham bounds. Also, we judge it most conven- ient that this way should be stated from Haynes' farm to Elder Wiswall's farm, and other men's proprietary, to Boston [Brookline] bounds."
In 1678 the Selectmen staked out on the south side of the river " the county highway, four rods wide, on the south side of Good- man Man's lot [John Jackson's], and marked out a highway two rods wide, at the east end of said lot, up to the county road that leads to Watertown mill, from Roxbury. Also, they set out the highway of two rods wide, on the south side of Nathaniel Spar- hawk's land, and the one hundred acres belonging to Elder Champney, unto the Common land next to Danforth's farm. Also, they laid out the highway that runs between Nathaniel Sparhawk's land and Goodman Champney's land, up to Roxbury highway."
A committee chosen in 1685 laid out a highway from the brook commonly called Captain Prentice's brook, or from the county way over the brook, in the way now occupied, to the land of Sergeant Kenrick.
And another highway laid out from the county highway, at the south corner of Captain Prentice's field, to the Upper Falls.
Another highway from the Lower Falls to Joseph Miller senior's house.
Another highway from our meeting-house to the Lower Falls.
And another highway from the south corner of Captain Prentice's 11

field westward, commonly called Sherburne road, to the Lower Falls.
In 1687, John Ward and Noah Wiswall were joined to our Seleetmen, to treat with the Selectmen of Cambridge, to lay out a highway from our meet- ing-house to the Falls. In 1691, we find this record : "Renewed the bound- marks of a way from John Mirick's stone-wall, over the hill eastward, to Joseph Wilson's land; also, from the northwest corner of Thomas Green- wood's orchard-wall, over the rocks, to Boston [Brookline] way. Also, renewed the bound-marks of Dedham highway." In 1702, a vote was recorded, " that the way from the meeting-house to the Lower Falls shall be turned from Henry Seger's Mill, along the country road, by the house of John Sta- ples, and so by the pine swamp."
In 1711, the Selectmen, with a committee of three others, were appointed " to settle and confirm the highways in the town." The result of their labors is as follows :
1. We have laid out an open highway from Roxbury line, two rods wide, through lands of widow Bacon, William Ward, John Hyde, jr., and Thomas Prentiee ; thence through land of Thomas Hastings, Jonathan Hyde, senior, Jonathan Hyde, jr., and John Hyde, and over pastor Hobart's land, by their eonsent.
2. We have renewed the highway marks from Dedham road, formerly laid out to Charles River, through land belonging to Rev. Jared Eliot, Sam- uel Pettis, Joseph Cheney and William Clark.
3. We have renewed the highway marks from Dedham road at the brook [South Meadow Brook], near Samuel Pettis', until it comes to the farm of Ensign John Kenriek; and thenee we have extended and laid out said way, through land of said Kenriek and Samuel Truesdale, two rods wide, they having liberty to hang two gates on said way, one at the corner of Joseph Ward's land, and the other at the end of said way, next to the house of Isaac Pateh.
4. We have renewed the bound-marks from the brook [South Meadow Brook], near the house of Samuel Pettis, to the lines of Roxbury and Ded- ham.
5. We have renewed the bound-marks of the highway, from Stake Mea- dow to our meeting-house, through lands of Mr. Smith, or land commonly called Pains' Hill, and through the land of Nathaniel Longley, Nathaniel Parker and Thomas Wiswall.
6. We have renewed the bound-marks of the highway, from the line of Brookline to the house of the widow Mirick, through the lands of Nathaniel and Thomas Hammond, seniors, John Druce and Isaac Hammond, Thomas Chamberlain, jr., and Richard Ward, and have accepted of their turning the highway through the land of Captain Thomas Prentice, it being done to the full satisfaction of said Prentice and all persons concerned.
7. We have laid out an open highway through the land of Abraham Jaek- son, from the house of widow Mirick to our meeting-house; three rods widc, where the path is now trod.
163
ROADS AND STREETS.
8. At the request of Archibald Macoy, we have laid out a way through land of said Macoy, and so to and by a fixed rock, along the northerly side of said rock, and to land of Joseph Bartlett, as now trod, and through land of Nathaniel Longley, north side of his dwelling-house, two rods wide.
