No. 14. 81 a. Thomas Patrick bought of John Miller in 1771. In 1768 Patrick had purchased of Mrs. Miller 60 acres south of No. 14, described as "part of the tract known as the Long Swamp." South of this is a lot of 40 acres, part of the "Long Swamp," which Mrs. Miller sold to David Reed, mason, in 1764. Before 1769 it had gone into the pos- session of James Capen. The small parcels farther south, one of 17, the other of 412 acres, were bought by Ezra Thayer, whose homestead adjoined. This homestead lot

of Ezra Thayer was the original Glebe of 1748, the history of which has been given. At the east end John Read ex- pected the meeting-house to stand. After Ezra Thayer's death this farm was bought by William Paige who came from Hardwick in 1777. He became prominent in both parish and town, and held many offices; was Deacon of the First Church from 1789 to 1826. He was a prominent inn- keeper for many years.
No. 15. Abner Hunt sold to Joseph Foster, blacksmith, in 1771.
No. 16. Ezra Thayer and Joseph Foster bought in 1772. This lot was known as the Irish Meadow.
No. 17. John Miller sold to Ezra Thayer in 1773.
No. 18. 80 a. H. R. Miller sold to Thomas Patrick Jr. in 1779.
Nos. 19 and 20. 100 a. each. Ezra Thayer and Joseph Foster bought in 1772. No. 20 is described at this time as running west "into the mill pond."
Nos. 21 and 23. Execution in favor of William Miller and William Sheppard in 1771. Seth Shaw bought the southern half of No. 23 in 1806, and the whole lot later became part of the Gould farm.
No. 22. 105 a. Vose sold to Ezra Thayer in 1773.
Charles and Mary Morris, the latter a daughter of John Read, inherited the south-east section of the Manour, 2,501 acres. In 1732, when only 16 years of age, Mary Read married Charles Morris, of Boston, a man of excellent edu- cation and an expert surveyor. In 1745 Morris took part in the expedition against Louisburg, and after the surrender of that fortress remained in Nova Scotia where he was em- - ployed as surveyor, becoming surveyor-general of the prov- ince in 1749. He was made a member of the privy council in 1755, and eventually became Chief Justice of Nova Scotia.1 He died in 1781. Living thus at a distance, the sale of the Morris land was placed in the hands of an agent, Thomas Legate, of Leominster, who also sold for others of the Read heirs.
The problem of the first settlers on this division has been extremely difficult, for several reasons. In the early days lots were sold or leased by the plan of the Manour as a

whole, but in November, 1780, a new plan of the Morris Division was made by Nathaniel and Justice Dwight, sur- veyors. No copy of the plan has been found, and to recon- struct it from the scanty materials at hand has not been possible. A chief difficulty has been with the "south end lots," the lines of which are extremely irregular, the river, as a natural boundary, and the highways as well, often being substituted for straight lines such as have guided us in other parts of the Manour. Many lots are described as regular in shape, 160 by 100 rods; but some run north and south, others east and west. A second difficulty lies in the fact that much of the Morris land was the object of speculation, changing ownership half a dozen times before occupied by the owner, while at the same time it had been settled and held as rented or leased property for many years. In selling a lot an abutter is sometimes named who lived upon the land without owning it, and who is named upon another portion of the tract a few years later. Furthermore, deeds of land within this tract seem even more vague than was usual at that period.
49. 60 a. Sold by Legate to Lot Dean in 1797. This was the north half of the Downing lot. In 1812 John Gore of Boston sells the same to Jesse Lewis.
50. 6014 a. Sold by Legate as agent to John Downing in 1781. Downing had occupied the entire lot for nearly 30 years. He came to Ware from Springfield in 1752. On this lot stood the famous Downing Tavern. Downing also owned land outside the Manour in the meadows south-east of this lot.
51. The half-lot of 50 acres given in 1762 by the Read heirs to Rev. Ezra Thayer as a "settlement." Three and one half acres in the north-west corner were reserved for the meeting-house and burial place. Ezra sold this lot to Solomon Cummings in 1765 for £42, but Cummings probably never lived upon it. It later became part of the estate of Ebenezer Nye, the famous inn-holder at the Centre.
52. The half lot of 50 acres given by the Read heirs to Grindall Rawson in 1751 as an inducement to settle in the ministry of the parish. Rawson sold to Thomas Andrews in 1759.

53. 100 a. Sold by Legate to Ebenezer Gould in 1782. It was then known as the Ayers lot.
54. The Glebe, or Ministry Lot of 1767, the history of which has been told. At a much later date part was owned by Dr. Rufus King who came from Brookfield in 1789. His home, no longer standing, was north of the road, where Mr. Quirk's house now stands. Part of the lot was owned by Rev. Reuben Moss. His house stands on the opposite side of the road from the meeting-house a little further west, and is now occupied by Edmund E. Moore.
55. 52 a. Sold to Isaac Pepper in 1793.
56. Described as 100 acres, though the dimensions indi- cate about 120. Sold by Legate to William Paige, Jr., in 1805. At this time the abutters on the east are Dr. Rufus King, Reuben Moss and Enos Davis.
'57. 43 a. Dr. Rufus King bought in 1806, it being "part of the lot that Lt. John Hamilton now lives on." The north- east corner above the road, 1012 acres, had been sold to Ezra Thayer, whose homestead adjoined, in 1771.
58. 200 a. Daniel Gould bought the lower half in 1775. This was known as the Paddock Lot. The northern half he bought in 1799.
59. 100 a. Legate sold to his son in 1805, and Legate, Jr., to Samuel Brown in the same year. The lot was previously in possession of Benjamin McMichel. Brown did not live here, but according to tradition raised great crops of rye on the land.
60. 100 a. William Bowdoin and Aaron Andrews bought this lot of Legate in 1807. It became the Bowdoin home- stead, and William Bowdoin lived here until his death. William Bowdoin was the founder of one of the important families of the town. He was brought here in infancy about 1762. "He is supposed 1 to have been a natural son of a brother of Gov. Bowdoin, whose name he bore. He was raised in the family of Samuel Bush, near Marsh's mills, received his education in the common schools, and having a taste for reading, and a tact for business, he ac- quired a character and influence no other man ever gained in this town. He was chosen town clerk in 1789, and held the office for twenty-two years in succession. He was again elected in 1830, and held office until his death, Sept. 23, 1831. He represented the town eleven years in the Legis-

lature, being the only one chosen from 1795 to 1812, and was a delegate to the Convention for revising the Consti- tution in 1820. In 1801, he was elected a Justice of the Peace, and did most of the business of that nature, in this town, for nearly thirty years. He wrote a very plain, legible hand, and the perfect state of the Town Records is owing very much to his care. He transcribed the records of the births, deaths and marriages, by vote of the town, in 1789, which are very complete of some of the earlier families. He was twice married, and had fourteen children." The farm on which he made his home had been known as the Stamping Lot.
61-66. These lots were bought and sold many times by land speculators, the boundaries changing with every sale. Parts were sold more than once by the same man, the condi- tions of the sale evidently not having been met by the pur- chaser.
61. Bought by Jesse Lewis of Legate, Jr., in 1805.
62. 100 a. In 1781 Charles and Mary Morris by their attorney sold this lot to Thomas McClintock and Thomas McClintock, Jr., and it became known as the McClintock lot. It returned however to its original owners, and Legate the agent sold to John Hamilton in 1800, Hamilton to Richard Lewis in 1801, Lewis to Prince Andrews in 1807, Andrews to Jesse Lewis, and finally it became part of the John Bowdoin farm now occupied by Henry B. Anderson.
63. Owned at an early date by Richard Lewis. The his- tory of the lot is similar to that of 62.
64. 75 a. Legate sold to Joshua Crowell of Brookfield in 1792. Later it came into the possession of Enos Davis, now the Gould farm west of the village.
65. The original sales are difficult to trace. Was in part the Pepper farm, Esther Pepper owning it in 1807.
66. 100 a. Legate sold to John Hamilton in 1800. The lot was previously occupied by Ephraim Paddock. Ham- ilton sold to Jesse Lewis in 1801.
The long, narrow strip south of 65 and 66, and south of the river, consisting of 39 acres, was sold to Isaac Magoon in 1771. It is described as "Being part of the lot originally leased by John Read to the sd Isaac's Grandfather, Mr. Isaac Magoon."
67. 100 a. Legate sold to Prince and Aaron Andrews in 1807. Amariah Crain lived on part of this lot. He after- wards moved to the east part of the town.

68. The site of the historic Rogers inn. Jonathan Rogers bought of Charles and Mary Morris in 1770, having pre- viously occupied the land. The upper half he gave to his son, Thomas Rogers. The lower half he left by will to his daughters and his son Jonathan, who carried on the busi- ness after their father's death, which occurred in 1784.
69. 100 a. The south portion, 60 acres, went to Joel Stacey in 1803. The northern part, 40 acres, went to Elijah Winslow at the same date.
70. Described in 1806 as belonging to James Lamberton and Seth and Solomon Brown.
71. 83 a. In shape like the letter K. Legate, Jr., sold to Robert Smith of Palmer in 1806. Smith made his home on the lot.
72. 100 a. Legate sold to Daniel Shaw in 1771. In 1790, Erwin Shaw, a brother of Daniel, sells this lot together with the adjoining half of 69, to James and Seth Lamberton. It has remained in the Lamberton family to the present time.
73. 100 a. Legate sold to Richard Roggers in 1771.
74. 29 a. Legate, Jr., sold to Levi Stevens of Palmer in 1806. Stevens previously occupied the land.
75. 40 a. Timothy Paige of Hardwick bought in 1771. This with part of 67 went to John Shaw, 2nd, in 1806. The gore to the westward was sold to Aaron Andrews in 1805.
The original grantees of the Marsh Tract settled among themselves the division of the land. The lines of these divisions can be only approximately determined. The whole tract in the earliest times was described as "a place called Muddy Brook, between Hardwick and Kingston."
A. This section of 206 acres was set off to Jonathan Rood "for his share of the original grant." Rood in 1741 sold 20 acres in the south-west corner to Paul Thurston of Rut- land. The remainder of the tract he had sold in 1740 to Jonathan Hunt of Northampton. Rood appears to have lived on the land for a time. On the same day that Rood sold the 20 acres to Thurston, Hunt sells his 186 acres to Thurston. In 1745 Thurston sells the whole, 206 acres, to Edward Damon of Brookfield, "Physitian." Dr. Damon was undoubtedly the first physician to settle in town. He is believed to have come from Reading, Conn., to Brook-

field, and soon after to Ware. The births of his children begin in the Ware records in 1735.
B. A section of about 200 acres, John Clemmons's share of the grant. In 1741 he sold the tract to Joseph Simons, cordwainer, who came here from Killingly, Conn. Simons and his descendants lived on the tract many years. The land extending south from John Clemmons to Kingston, and lying between Dr. Damon and Muddy Brook belonged in 1745 part to William Clemmons, and part to Thomas Marsh, as we learn from the abutters named in Dr. Damon's deed.
C. 71 a. We find Benjamin Simons of Fort Massachu- setts selling this lot to Maverick Smith of Reading in 1758. Col. Benjamin was a son of Joseph Simons, and was one of the garrison of Fort Massachusetts [Williamstown]. The land at this time is bounded easterly by Muddy Brook and Capt. Joseph How's land, north and south by How's land, west on Dr. Damon. Joseph Simons had given the tract to his son Benjamin in 1748.
D. John How in 1764 sells 18 acres "the north part of the lot now in possession of Nehemiah Thomas" to Maverick Smith. Thomas owned or occupied the remainder. This appears to have been part of Thomas Marsh's original division.
Thomas Marsh, so far as documentary evidence shows the situation, was the first settler on any portion of the Town of Ware. He was here before 1727, for in that year he pledges his house, barn, crops of corn, flax, buckwheat, etc., to Stephen Griffeths of Lambstown and John Buttler of Stonington, Connecticut, as surety that Ruth Marsh his daughter shall make her personal appearance at Springfield, "and abides the order and sentence of sd Court, upon a com- plaint of Mary Clemons dwelling on ye Country Land aforesd."
Thomas was probably one of five brothers who settled on the land, - Thomas, Ephraim, Judah, Samuel and Joseph. Whether all came at the same time or not cannot be deter- mined. Mr. Hyde says that Judah came from Hatfield, or Hadley, in 1730. Thomas made his will in 1742, in which he describes himself as "living at a place called Muddy Brook." He signed the will with his own hand. In it he mentions by
277
THE MAP
name nine children, five sons and four daughters. One son is described as "distracted." He left all his real estate to his son Joseph.
E. 60 a. Part of Thomas's original tract. Sold in 1767 by Joseph Marsh, son of Thomas, to Maverick Smith.
F. 75 a. The north part of Thomas's original tract. Sold by Joseph to Judah, on whose land it bordered, in 1767. Forty years later this was owned by Jonathan Marsh, a son of Judah.
G. Judah Marsh's Mill-lot, and part of his original grant. It descended to his son Judah, who died in 1817, leaving about 70 acres with mills, buildings, etc.
H. 100 a. Part of Judah Marsh's grant. Thomas, son of Judah, sold to Ephraim McIntier of Greenwich in 1806.
I. Part of Judah's grant. Owned or occupied by Ben- jamin Raymond in 1775.
J. 50 a. Sold by Judah Marsh to John Raymond in 1775.
K. 120 a. Part of Samuel Marsh's original grant, and sold by him to Jeremiah Anderson in 1739. Jeremiah, the founder of the Anderson family in Ware, was a native of Ireland. He had a large family of eleven children. The Anderson and Snell families furnished musicians to the town for generations.
L. 20 a. Samuel Marsh sold to Thomas Dunsmore in 1739.
M. In this section there was a 100 acre lot belonging orig- inally to Ephraim Marsh, also a tract, probably 100 acres, belonging originally to Joseph.
Thus the original possessions of the five Marsh brothers are accounted for. A few acres of this section [M] belonged to Judah, and the eastern part to Samuel. One hundred and fifteen acres of this section came into the possession of Caleb Wetherbee of Southborough, being parts of the orig- inal grants of Joseph, Ephraim and Judah. Wetherbee in 1754 sold the western half of his possession to Joseph Ruggles of Hardwick, and Ruggles in 1766 sells the same again to Judah Marsh.
The remaining portion of the Town of Ware was actually a part of Kingston, and with the exception of the Hollings- worth Grant, the land belonged to the Elbow Proprietors.
278
HISTORY OF WARE
Mr. Gilbert, in his "Early Grants," has worked out from the Proprietors' Records the location of the several owners on this section which was known as "the north-end addi- tion," and his lines are followed in making the map for this work.
A few matters may require a word of explanation.
Jeremiah Omstead was the oldest son of Jabez. He took up land adjoining his father's farm, probably in 1729 or 30. The farm was confirmed to him by action of the General Court in 1733. The rest of the north-end addition was divided among the Elbow Proprietors by drawings held from time to time. Many of the drawings were sold, as the Proprietors already had their homes in the southern part of the plantation.
Jeremiah Omstead sold his farm of 100 acres to Noah Colton in 1738. Colton in 1740 sold the same to John Post, who in 1744 sold to Alexander Mack Neill. Jabez Omstead in 1733 sells 74 acres at the south-west corner of his farm to Obadiah Wood. In 1752 he sells 15 acres north of the above to John Downing. In the same year, 1752, Downing bought of Timothy Brown 36 acres lying between Omstead's farm and the Manour. In 1743 Jabez, "in con- sideration of the tender respect I bear unto my loving son Israel Omstead," gives him 9472 acres on the east side of the river, "beginning at the end of the bridge below the mill." In 1746 Jabez likewise gives to his "loving son Israel Om- stead " 144 acres, it being the north-east corner of the 500 acre tract. The remainder of the farm was sold by Omstead's heirs to Isaac Magoon, from whom it passed to his son Alexander in 1765, and the mills were known for more than a generation as the Magoon Mills. The property passed to Alpheus Demond, Esq., and Col. Thomas Denny in 1813.
It has been already stated that the Elbow Proprietors donated to the Hon. Ebenezer Burrill, Samuel Bradford and John Alden 100 acres each for their services as agents of the General Court in 1733. Bradford's tract was surveyed by Steward Southgate in January, 1739-40 "in the nor west corner of the north end addition, Butting west on the line of Mr. Read's Land 72 rods and three fourths and bounding north on the end line of the Elbow Tract 220 rods." The

south-east corner is said to be "on Ross's Plain about 20 Rod southward from Ross's Den," whatever that may be. Burrill received a lozenge-shaped lot lying "on each side of Muddy Brook."
No record of sale of either of these lots has been found, and in a later drawing of common lands, they would ap- pear to have fallen to John Kilburn.
John Alden of Duxborough, however, in 1737 sells to Rob- ert Stanford 150 acres, "part of the 300 acres of land granted to Ebenezer Burrell Esq" Mr. Samuel Bradford and myself at a meeting of ye Proprietors of ye Common and Undi- vided Lands in ye sd Elbow Tract, upon ye second Day of June, 1735." It is worth noting that this deed was drawn nearly two years before the lands of Burrill and Bradford were surveyed. Stanford in 1739 sells the same to John Robinson, clerk, of Duxborough, and in 1753 John Robin- son, son of Rev. John Robinson, quit-claims to Ichabod Robinson, his brother, "his interest in a tract in the Town- ship of Kingston in the County of Hampshire." Here the whole thing vanishes.
Robert Roggers of Kingston in 1746 sells the 50 acres lying east of the Manour to William Breakenridge. It is described as lying in "Way River Parish."
The Steward Southgate lot at the south-east corner of the Manour was sold to Jacob Cummings in 1740. Southgate had probably the best education of any man of his time in the plantation, being a graduate of Harvard College. Be- sides being a skilled surveyor, he was for years Proprietor's Clerk of the Elbow Tract.
Jacob Cummings, the founder of the Cummings family in Ware, came from Killingly, Connecticut. He was for years one of the most prominent men of the Precinct. He was one of the first deacons of the church, was moderator of the first meeting of the parish, one of the committee of the Precinct when the town was incorporated in 1762, one of the first board of selectmen, and town treasurer. He had five sons, all of whom were prominent in the affairs of the town.
Phille Morse came from Sharon soon after the town was incorporated. His farm extended from the river opposite
280
HISTORY OF WARE
the East Street bridge up the slopes of Coy's Hill, including the John Blackmer drawing of 1746.
Besides the larger grants and drawings there were scattered through the town numbers of small remnants of land that failed of being included in the larger surveys. These were still the property of the old Proprietors, and were laid out to different persons by the Selectmen of Palmer as late as 1812. The following is one of the latest:
Nov. 25, 1812,
Surveyed and laid out to Calvin Morse one acre and one hundred rods of the common and undivided lands of the Proprietors of Palmer on the right originally granted to James Mclwain,
Boundaries follow, showing that the land was on the river bank adjoining Morse's farm, "on the north side of the road leading from Ware to Brookfield."
Other small parcels are described as part of the undi- vided lands, or a portion of some man's "original right " which had been allowed to lapse. Indebtedness for services rendered the Town of Palmer were sometimes paid by a grant, - sure to create confusion at a later time. For example,
Palmer, September ye 2, 1794.
Sold to Thomas Quinten as much land at 6 s. pr acor as to pay £2,, 5s.
