Before the deed of purchase was made the commit- tee of the General Court, in a report made to that body December 18, 1727, recommended the imposi- tion of certain conditions, which they expressed as follows:

The committee having concorred the several articles and conditions on which the petitioners for Hassanamisco have liberty to purchase a tract of land commonly known by the name of the Indian proprietors thereof are humbly of the opinion that the petitioners, before the execution of their deeds, shall, each one for himself, respectively be bound to the trustees appointed for said Indians and their successors, with sureties for paying & - with part of the cost of building a meeting-house con- vanient for the public worship for themselves and nine English families already settled within the said Hassanamisco, and the Indian inhabit- ants of said Hassanamisco, as also for paying the same proportion to- wards building a school-house convenient for the teaching to read and write the children of the same inhabitants, as well Indian as English, aud that they will set apart twenty acres of said land for the use of said school, to remain for said service forever, and also for paying the same proportion for and towards the settling a learned orthodox minister, and for sett'ing for the said minister a lot of land, equal to other allowances, to be his own as soon as he takes office among them, and likewise the building for himself (Petitioner's accounts read) a dwelling-house and breaking up four acres of land in the lot on dividend that shall be appor- tioned and set off to him, all to be within the time and according to the limitation in the act of the Great and General Conrt relating herennto in their present session.

And for as much there are nine English families already settled on lands within Hassanamisco that will be accommodated by the meeting- honse, school-honse, minister and schoolmaster in said Hassanamisco, aa

above, the committee humbly propose that the said nine families he by special act of the Great and General Court required to pay each a fortieth part to and for erecting and finishing said meeting-house und school- house, and lo and for the support of said minister and schoolmaster. And inasmuch as the maintaining a minister and a schoolmaster are to be from generation to generation, and consequently not so proper for con- dition in a bond, -The committee humbly conceive that in the aforesaid act of the Great and General Court the said forty petitioners, with the other nine English families, inhabitants shall be obliged, from time to time, forever hereafter to maintain a minister and schoolmaster for the Indians and their children without cost or charge to said Indians or their posterity.

The General Court subsequently passed the follow- ing act, entitled : "An act to oblige and require the forty petitioners for a tract of land at Hassanamisco, together with the English proprietors of the other lands there, to pay the charge of erecting a meeting- house and school-house, and of supporting an ortho- dox minister and schoolmaster in the place :"

Whereas the court, at their present session, in answer to the petition of Samuel Chandler and others to the number of forty, whose names are subscribed to the said petition, did give them liberty to purchase the lands at Hassanamisco by them petitioned for, containing about seven thonsand five hundred acres, more or less, of the Indian natives and pro- prietors of Hassanamisco, upon condition that forty English families shall be settled upon the land, which families are to be of the petitioners or their posterity, and no others, and yet within the space of three years they build and finish a meeting house for the public worship of God ; and build a school house for the instruction as well of the Indians as English children, and settle & learned orthodox minister to preach the gospel to them and constantly maintain and duly support a minister and schoolmaster among them. And yet all the above articles shall be with- out charge to the Indian natives :

And whereas there are sundry English proprietors of other lands in Hassanamisco who will be accommodated by tbe said meeting-house, school house, minister and schoolmaster, as well as the forty petitioners,

Be it therefore enacted by the Lientenant-Governor, Council and Rep- resentatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the samo, that the said forty petitioners be and are hereby required and obliged to pay each of them an equal part of four-fifths parts of the charge of building the said meeting-house and school house, and that the said English proprietors of the other lands at Hassanamisco be and are hereby required and obliged to pay the other fifth part of the above- said charge to be apportioned and assessed by the trustees of the Hassa- namisco Indians already appointed by this court upon the said English proprietors, according to their best jndymeat and discretion, they bay- ing regard unto the quantity of land and other estate in Hassanamisce belonging unto them, and to be collected by such meet person as they the said trustees sball appoint for that end. The abovesaid proportion of charges, together with the method of assessing and collecting the same, to be observed and pursued until the said petitionersand the other proprietors be invested with the powers and privileges of a towaship.

On the 22d of March, 1727-28, a warrant was issued by John Chandler, justice of the peace, on the petition of seven proprietors, -to wit, Benjamin Wil- lard, Jonas Houghton, Samuel Chandler, Phinehas Rice, John Sherman, John Warren and Benjamin Barrett,-and directed to Benjamin Willard, of Hassanamisco, directing him to call a meeting of the proprietors of the purchased lands on Tuesday, the 9th of the following April. The meeting was held at the house of Jonathan How, in Marlboro', and Edward Goddard, Jonathan Rice and Joseph Rice were chosen moderator, clerk and treasurer, respec- tively. It was voted that a committee consisting of one from Marlboro', one from Sudbury and one from Stowe or Sudbury should he appointed to take a snr- vey of the plantation of Hassanamisco and ascertain

the centre of the same, and Capt. Brigham, of Marl- boro', John Hunt, of Concord, and Richard Taylor constituted the committee. It was also voted that the meeting-house should be located in the middle of the plantation "in case it be accomodable" and otherwise at the nearest "accomodable" point, the same to be decided by a majority of the proprie- tors.

It was further voted that four acres be set apart for the meeting-house and burial-place and training- field, and by a subsequent vote that the school-house also should be built on the same lot. A vote was also passed that a committee be appointed to confer with the trustees of the Hassanamisco Indiaus and to determine on some plan for "the setting out" of the lands reserved for them and to lay out the same. It was further voted that the committee lay out lots for the minister and school-master. The committee was also empowered to lay out and equalize the lots of land and meadow for the first division in eighty lots of upland, each lot containing forty acres with necessary allowance for quality, and also to equalize the lots of meadow after the same manner, so prepar- ing the several allotments in two parcels of upland and two pieces of meadow to each proprietor for a lot on draught. Capt. Nathan Brigham, John Hunt and Richard Taylor were selected as members of the committee. Other votes were passed relating to as- sessments to defray the expenses of the proprietor, to the method of calling meetings and other less impor- tant matters and the meeting adjourned to the 19th of April. On that day the adjourned meeting was held at the house of Nehemiah How and went in a body to visit the centre of the plantation as fixed by the committee. It was not found to be convenient for a mee ing-house and a spot was selected lying westerly on the northerly end of a hill called by the natives Assawossachasuck. Afterwards another spot was viewed and finally chosen, and it was voted to set the meeting-house by a white oak tree, about which heap of stones was placed. The proprietors returned to the house of Mr. How and all questions concerning the dimensions of the meeting-house and school-house and the time when it would be expedient to begin to build them were postponed for future con- sideration. Capt. Willard, Samuel Biglow, Jonathan Rice and Eleazer Flagg were added to the equalization committee, and that committee was authorized to " se-quester" lands for highways. The four acres thus set apart now include the Common and the street round it in the central village of Grafton.

The plantation of Hassanamisco, managed by its proprietors, possessed many of the attributes and func- tions of a town. It had no formal act of incorpora- tion and no town officers. The proprietors, however, had their clerk and treasurer and assessors, laid out highways, built bridges, erected saw-mills, settled a minister, established schools, divided the lands, raised money by taxation, set out a burial-place, ånd

at their meetings did all that was needful in the administration of their affairs.

In 1730 the meeting-house was built on the lot now constituting the Common, and in September, 1731, it was voted to invite Rev. Solomon Prentice to settle as the minister of the plantation with a salary of one hundred pounds per annum. Mr. Prentice was ordained on the 29th of December, 1731, and on the day previous the church was formed. The his- tory of this church will be more particularly referred to later on in this narrative. The management of affairs by the proprietors continued until 1735, when the town of Grafton was incorporated. The records of the proprietors containing a full statement of their doings, with a description of the lands allotted to its members in various divisions, form a part of the archives of the town and are full of matter of interest and value to the historian and antiquary.

On the 18th of April, 1735, the following act of incorporation was passed by the General Court, in response to the petition of a committee of the pro- prietors chosen to present it to the court in January, 1733-34 :

An Act for creating a town in the County of Worcester at a plantation called Hassaoamisco by the name of Grafton.

Whereas, the plantation commonly called Hassanamisco in the County of Worcester is competently filled with inhabitants who have built and finished a convenient meeting-house for the publick worship of God, and have settled a learned orthodox minister amongst them and have addressed this court to be erected into a separate and distinct township to hold and enjoy equal powers and privileges with the other towne in the province ;

Be it enacted by His Excellency, the Governor, Council and Repre- eentatives in the General Court assembled and by the authority of the same :

SECT. 1. That the plantation at Hassanamisco in the county of Wor- cester, as the same is hereafter bounded and described, be aod hereby is eet off and constituted a separate and distinct township by the name of Grafton.

SECT. 2. The hounde of said township being as followe : viz., begin- ning at a pine tree on a rocky hill at the southeast corner and from thence extending north four milee with thirty six perch allowance for loss of measure bonnding easterly on Sutton to a heap of stones oo & rock ; from theace west by the needle four miles with thirty rods al- lowance to a heap of stones ; from thence south four miles to a heap of stones ninety rods south of the river and a little southward of a small pine swamp northward of a little brook ; and from thence to the corner first mentioned.

SECT. 3. And that the inhabitants thereof be nod hereby are vested and endowed with equal powers, privileges und immoities that the in- habitants of any of the other towne within this province are or ought by law to be vested or endowed with.

And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid,

SECT. 4. That such of the grantees as have not fully complied with the conditions of settlement be and hereby are subjected each one to pay a fiftieth part of all rates and taxes that shall hereafter be laid on the in- habitants of the said town as well as for the support of the ministry among them nod other town chargee until they have fully complied with the conditions of settlement. Passed and published April 18, 1735.

On the day of the passage of the act of incorpora- tion the following order was passed by the court :

In the House of Representatives, April 17, 1735, ordered that Mr. Thomas Pratt, one of the prisable inhabitants of the new town lately Diade at the plantation called llassaDamisco, iu the County of Worces- ter, be and hereby is fully authorized and empowered to assemble the

The name of Grafton was probably suggested by Governor Belcher in honor of Charles Fitz Roy, Duke of Grafton, a member of the Privy Council and a grandson of Charles the Second.

At the first meeting of the town Thomas Pratt was chosen moderator and Nehemiah How, clerk. The names of succeeding moderators and clerks up to 1879, as well as those of selectmen and treasurers, may be found in the history of Grafton, prepared by Frederick Clifton Pierce, and need not be repeated iu this narrative. The names of Representatives to the General Courts, both from the town and from the various Representative districts of which Grafton has formed a part, are here given as perhaps more clearly illustrating the prominent men in the various genera- tions of the towu. From the years 1735 to 1755, in- clusive, uone were chosen. The following persons were Representatives in the years placed against their names :
