Nearly all of the grains enumerated in the invoices were used as food by the settlers, and they certainly had plenty for home consump- tion. Only four men returned money at interest, and only one. includes potatoes among his crops for taxation.

IIO
HISTORY OF PELHAM, MASS.
James Hood, James Halbert, John Linsey and Robert Maklem returned money for taxation, the aggregation of surplus capital of these four men for which they were honest enough to return for tax- ation was £60-4s .- 7d .- 3far.
These men were probably looked up to with the same feeling of awe and fear as working men of to-day regard the modern millionaire.
The independent and original spelling of each of the tax payers has been retained in copying the invoices and is interesting. On the back of each scrap is endorsed the word "Recorded " and some have also the word " attested," indicating that some of the tax-payers made oath to their invoices while others did not. Only a few of the farmers remembered to date their schedules after making them out.
From these invoices of thirty-eight men and four women we learn that these forty-two farmers had given in for taxation, after only twenty-two years had passed away since they bargained for this tract of wild land, the following list of personal property :
42 Horses, 375 Bushels of rye; I37 Cows, 256 66 oats, .
61 Oxen,
833
corn,
132 Sheep,
140 66 wheat,
56 Swine, 284 Tons of hay.
53 Barrels of cider,
The list of invoices may not be complete for the whole town, but it is all that it has been possible to find of such an early date. They are written upon small scraps of paper, some of them only two or three inches square, the printed copy of William Gilmore's invoice being a fair sample of all, and one of the few in the package bearing a date. James Conkey, James Hood, Thomas Lowden, John Gray, John Conkey, Patrick Peebols, William Gray and Alexander Turner were among those who drew home lots in 1739, and their farms can be located by referring to the plan of the town. The others whose invoices are given it is impossible to locate, as they came to town after the drawing of home lots and purchased lands or farms already under cultivation, or had taken up new lands by purchase of original settlers.
The first census of Pelham was taken in 1765 and the number of inhabitants at that time, twenty-six years after the drawing of home lots in 1739, was only 371. Consequently it is fair to assume that
III
TOWN MEETING RECORDS.
there were not more than 300 men, women and children in the town when the foregoing invoices were given in for taxation. As small families were the exception and large ones the rule in those days it is evident that the list of invoices comes much nearer being a full list of farms at that time than otherwise. Allowing seven persons for the forty-two farms or families represented and it comes close to a complete list of the taxable property in 1760.

Rev. Mr. McDowell was preaching in Pelham at this time but no minister had been settled since Rev. Mr. Abercrombie's dismissal in 1754, and the town had been presented at court for this neglect, as will be learned by action at the meeting August 18th, which follows :
WARRANT FOR A MEETING AUGUST 18, 1762.
"First To See if ye Town Will Chuse a agent or Agents to appear for said Town and Answer the Presentment of the Grand Jury to be Considered at the Nixt Court of General Sessions of the Peace to be Held at Springfield in & for the said county on the Last Day of August Current for Wickedly & Willingly Neglecting to provide themselves of an orthodox Minister for the three years Last Past Contrary to Law."

ILLEGAL KILLING DEER IN PELHAM IN 1763.
Killing deer in defiance of law and in disregard of the deer reeves chosen by the town was the cause of quite a number of Pelham men paying the penalty at the bar of the court as is shown by the court records which we copy.

TOWN MEETING RECORDS.
" DE REX VS. COWAN, COURT OF SESSIONS, FEB. 8, 1763.
John Worthington Esq attorney to our Soverign Lord the King in this behalf here instantly informs and gives this Court to understand that James Cowan the Second of Pelham in the County of Hampshire, yeoman, at sd Pelham on the sixth day of January last past did wittingly and willingly Kill one Grown wild Deer and then and there had in his possession the raw flesh and raw skin of the same Deer Contrary to one Law of this Province in that case made and provided against the Peace of the said Lord the King his Crown & Dignity. And now comes before the Court the said James (being held by recognisance for this purpose) and being put to plead to the foregoing Information he pleads that he is guilty .- The Court having Con- sidered of the offence do order that the said James pay a fine of ten pounds lawful money to be the one moiety thereof to his Majesty for the support of the Government &c & the other moiety of the same to William Boltwood of Amherst Gent'n the original Informer in this case, and costs of Prosecution taxed at one pound 3-8. The said James Declaring here in this Court his inability to pay said fine, It is further ordered that he be disposed of in Ser- vice to any of his Majestys subjects for ye space of two Months from ye time of ye Sale of said James-standing Committed &c
Sold for 25 " (Shillings)
There were several cases of the same kind tried in the same court, and among them was James Halbert of Pelham. Halbert was con- victed and being in no better condition to pay his fine, he was dis- posed of in service for two months for 30 shillings.
We learn from the cases of Cowan and Halbert that the deer reeves made a business of watching for deer slayers and when they obtained positive evidence against a man they made it known to some sheriff who complained, arrested the offenders and when con- victions resulted the sheriff and the informer received half of the fine. If the poor fellows who were convicted of killing deer could not pay the fine their services were sold for several months to the highest bidder. So it was with Cowan and Halbert.

TOWN MEETING RECORDS.
It was voted to call Richard Crouch Graham to settle with them and f100 lawful money voted to him if he should accept the call. They also voted that his salary should be £60 a year.
Not all were satisfied with this action however, for Thomas Cochran, James Taft, Joshua Gray, Mathew Gray, Joseph Rinkin, James McConel, David Cowden, John Stevenson, William Clark, John Dick, John Blair, Oliver Selfridge, William Fergerson, Aaron Gray, James Harkness, William Harkness, William Selfridge, James Fergerson, Ephraim Cowan, William Gray and Moses Gray pro- tested against the action of the majority in calling Mr. Graham. It will be remembered that William Fergerson, John Dick and James Fergerson protested against the action of the town in voting to settle Rev. Robert Abercrombie as their minister, and twenty years later we find them protesting against the settlement of Mr. Graham, which can but prove that the chronic objector was not unknown at that early day.
MEETING, FEB. 15, 1763.
At a town Meeting on the 15th of February, 1763, the selectmen were chosen a committee to " Employ Workmen to finish repairs on the Meeting House as fare as the Stoof will finish," and Mathew Gray was allowed five shillings and four pence for "Warning Curtis Clemens & his wife out of the Town." Patrick Pebels was allowed "One Shilling & Three pence for Making a foot Lock for John Davison." John Gray was allowed five Shilling & four pence for " Warning the Widow Elisebeth Queen out of Town."
James Pebels was allowed " one Shilling for taking care of John Davison an insane man." William Conkey was " Allowed Four Shilling & Eight Pence for going to Oxford for Mr. Cambel," who probably was a "Supplyer " for the pulpit. David Cowden, Hugh Johnson and John Hamilton were allowed 12 shilling and 6 shilling respectively for work taking the Invoice, and John Gray was allowed £6-15S-IId for the same kind of service. Voted Robert Maklem £1-18s and John Alexander 12 shilling, all for the very honorable business of " Boarding Ministers."
At a Meeting on the 3d of May, 1763, £20 addition was voted to Mr. Graham's salary, but the addition was not to become a tangible fact until the year 1766 and to make it more tantalizing the additional
I18
HISTORY OF PELHAM, MASS.
vote reads " And to Pay four Pound at the End of every three Year Till Said Addition be Paid."
In a warrant for a Meeting Dec. 2, 1763, the following article appeared : First, to see if the town will agree upon a time when Mr. Graham's Salery should commence,-and it was voted that the selary should commence at the time of his ordination.
At a Meeting Jan. 20, 1764, £8 was voted for the support of Thomas Lowden, and the General Court was petitioned for liberty to sell lands of Elinor Gray, who had already been assisted by the town and £5-7s was allowed for her support that year. The poor woman died not long after and had no further need of lands or assistance from the town.
The ordination of Mr. Graham had taken place and the bills had been reported to the town, and the allowances made as follows : " John Gray is allowed £6-178-6d for Charges at Ordination time, and £1-7s-6d for His trouble at Ordination time." Elisibeth Clark is allowed 4s for " Tendance at ordination time." John Gray was allowed £5-17s " for Boarding ye Ministers." James Turner had an allowance of 8s for boarding two ministers ordination time, and John Savige 12s for " Pastring Horses Ordination time."
MEETING, FEB. 2, 1765.
It is quite probable that the meeting house had been without pews up to this time, though doubtless there were enough benches to accommodate the people on Sundays and at the frequent town-meetings, but better accommodations were at hand, as witness the following vote, dated February 2, 1765 : "Seventhly-Voted that the Whole body of the Meeting House is to be made in Plain Pews."
In some way inhabitants that were not acceptable persisted in com- ing into the town, for at an adjournment of this same meeting to the 4th of March following, James Halbert was allowed 3s. for "Warning Benjamin Whitney & his Wife out of this Town."
Daniel Gray was elected "Surveyor of wheat for the ensuing year in 1765."
We learn also that a new house had been erected for Rev. Richard Crouch Graham, and "that there is a two Rode Road Established from ye two Rode Road South of Mr. Graham's new House. by sª House to the County Road .- Consented to by R Crouch Graham March 4 1765."
I19
TOWN MEETING RECORDS.
The above is given to show how indefinitely many of the roads were laid out and consented to, rendering it almost impossible at this late day to locate them or even to make a fairly good guess where they were or where they led to.
Sept. 23, 1765. Two pounds were voted to buy weights and measures and William Fergerson was chosen sealer of these very necessary articles for the year 1765.
MEETING, FEB. 28, 1766.
John Dick was allowed 10 shilling for sending for the temporary acts for twenty years past, and as Andrew Shaw and family were objectionable people, Robert Hamilton was allowed 3s for " Warn- ing them out of the town and recording the warrant."
This seems to prove that some legal process was resorted to in ridding the town of new settlers that did not come up to the stand- ard that had been set up. Action upon the ninth article of the war- rant for this meeting is recorded as follows: "Voted that the Town Has agreed on a Method to Pew or Repair the Meeting House and that a Committee be chosen to lay out the Grounds in the Meet- ing House Round the Sids of Said House,-Said Committee is Thomas Dick, John Hunter and John Dick. The two Dicks were carpenters, and were the builders of the Meeting House and com- petent men to have on a committee to " Pew " the house. £100 was voted for the work.
MEETING, MARCH 27, 1766.
It was voted that twenty-seven Pews be built, twenty-four below and three in the front Gallery. It was also voted " that two familys is to sit in one Pue,"-Voted that Said Peus is to be divided by two years of the old Invoice & the Last Inventory,-Voted that the two highest in the Rats Draw the Highest Pew,-So on agreeable to this Method till the Whole is Comprehended .- Voted that the Men that Draws Said Pews Give Nots of Hand to the treasurer for said Money & Said Money to be paid a year hence.
Thomas McMullen Entered his protest against the action above recorded.
The Meeting of March 5, 1767 had little of note beyond allowing money for services rendered to the town. David Cowden was
E

allowed 5s for "Making Stocks, Lock and Kie," for which they had -doubtless found use.
ALLOTMENT OF PEWS.
The Appraisal of the Meeting House Pews was made by Thomas Dick and Archibald Crossett, March 28, 1766. They also made the allottment.
