At the incorporation of the township in 1660, it is probable that some of the men then in the town, had not moved their families to the place. Coming from Sudbury, only about eight miles distant, they would undoubtedly leave, in most
247
cases, their families, till they had made some preparation to receive them. Nor is it probable that many of them would erect even a cabin, until they knew the lot which they could occupy as their own. Some, however, had so far anticipated what is now known as " squatter sovereignty," as to erect rude habitations in advance of the division of the lands. Ou the division of their lots, immediately after their act of incorpora- tion, it appears that there were thirty-eight proprietors who shared in this distribution. It is not probable that more than one-half of that number were actual residents in the town at the time ; and not more than eight or ten of that number had their families in town within the year 1660. If we estimate these households at the usual number of five to a family, and include those who were then without their families, the population in 1660, may be set down at 55 souls.
But in a few years, there was a considerable increase of the population. Before 1665, Nathaniel Johnson, Samuel Ward, Abraham Williams, John Woods, Jr., John Brigham, Thomas Brigham, Thomas Barnes, Thomas Wheeler, Thomas Barrett, and several others, appear to have joined the settlement. A Committee of the Legislature, in 1665, state the number of proprietors at forty-four. And though the whole number were not in town at that time, and all who were there had not prob- ably brought their families to the place ; yet it should be re- membered, that as there was no apprehension from the Indians at that period, and as our mothers shared in the enterprise and courage of our fathers, they would be likely to follow their husbands at an early day, and partake with them of the hard- ships and privations of the wilderness. Gookin, in 1671, says that the number of families in Marlborough, at that time, fell a little short of fifty. If we should estimate their number in 1670 at forty, and should add ten more for those who had come to the place without families, we should have a population at that time of 210; which cannot vary much from the true number.
There were some accessions to the population during the first half of the decade commencing with 1670; but the breaking out of Philip's war, in 1675, dispersed the inhabitants, some of whom did not return till nearly 1680. A few, perhaps, did not return till after that period ; though there must have been some
248
increase in a portion of the families, so that the population in 1680 may be set down at the same, substantially, that it was ten years before, viz. 212.
From 1680 to 1690, there was a fair increase in the popu- lation. The return of peace would naturally invite settlers, and the opening of the Indian Plantation, in 1684, could not fail to invite people to the place; and though the settlers on the plantation did not strictly belong to Marlborough till 1719, as they attended church there, and were in fact one community with the Marlborough people, they may, for the purpose we have in view, be included in her population. And in fact, as we find early in the decade beginning with 1690, the names of Martin, and Taylor, and Gove, and Stow, and Keyes, and Joslin, and Eager, and Parker, and Sawyer, and some others, we can safely add them to the list of families. Besides, the old families had sensibly multiplied ; and whoever is acquainted with the number of children composing most of the families at that day, will be satisfied that the popular average of five per- sons to a household, will fall short of the actual number. We must, however, bear in mind that the spirit of emigration not only brought people into the town, but induced some that were there, to seek new homes in more western localities. From these considerations, and a view of the whole subject, we can- not estimate the population in 1690, at less than 375.
After 1690, there was quite an accession to the popula- tion. The Morses, the Bigelows, the Weekses, the Hapgoods, and other immigrants, considerably swelled the number of fam- ilies ; and the natural increase among the old settlers ushered in the new century with a large addition to the population. In a controversy in relation to settling a minister, in 1701, we find that about one hundred and ten of the citizens were enlisted in it ; and if we suppose that three-fourths of them were heads of families, and add half a dozen more who would take no part in the controversy, we should have a population, in 1700, of about 530.
As nothing occurred to impede the growth of the place, the population during the first decade in the century must have increased somewhat rapidly. There were, of course, new families coming into town ; and many of the old ones, true to the command to "increase and multiply," furnishing
249
children by the dozen, would naturally swell the tide of pop- ulation. We have, however, in this case, a better criterion by which to estimate the population than we have had in any pre- ceding period. In 1711, when danger was apprehended from the Indians, the town created twenty-six places of refuge, located in different parts of the town, by erecting stockade, or log defenses, around the dwellings. A committee of some of the principal citizens was appointed to assign the different fan- ilies to the respective garrisons. By their report we learn that there were one hundred and thirty-three families ; and estimat- ing them at six to a family, we have a population of 798, in 1710.
The next decade witnessed a large increase of population, but this was both angmented and diminished by extraneous causes. Annexing the Indian Plantation to Marlborough, in 1719, and setting off' Chauncey to form the town of West- borough, in 1717, each had a sensible effect upon the popula- tion, though they probably nearly balanced each other. We have no means of ascertaining, exactly, how many inhabitants belonged to either of these tracts of country. There were about thirty families on the Indian Plantation in 1719. The portion taken from Marlborough contained more than twice as much territory as that included in the Indian Plantation, but perhaps about the same amount of population. The town of Westborough must have had quite a number of families, for the year after their separation they built a meeting-house, and soon after settled and maintained a minister. About the same time, an emigration to Shrewsbury commenced. Under these circumstances, we think the population, in 1720, may be set down at 795.
The next decade was similarly affected ; the population was angmented by the removal into town of several families, and by a natural increase, which would have carried the population up to nearly a thousand ; but within this period, the Stony Brook neighborhood was set off to form the town of South- borough ; and the emigration to Shrewsbury and other towns continuing, Marlborough was hardly able to hold her own in point of numbers. We estimate the population in 1730, at 775.
It will be seen by this comparison, that Marlborough was doomed to heavy losses, both in territory and in people ; and
250
had it not been for an annexation of a tract of land north of the Indian Plantation on the line of Stow-of the " Farm," with several families upon it-and especially of the Indian Plantation, her limits would have been very much circum- scribed, and her population greatly reduced. Besides, Marl- borough, during her whole early history, was a sort of cradle town, which, like Watertown, Concord, and Roxbury, was rearing emigrants who were moving to Worcester, and Brook- field, and Rutland, and other towns farther west.
From 1730 to 1740, several new families came to the place, and the population increased to about 900.
In 1750, the population must have been not far from 1,000. During the period from 1730 to 1750, there were many emi- grants who went out from Marlborough. In 1736, a new township, west of Connecticut river, was granted to seventy- two proprietors, a great part of whom belonged to this town. That township was incorporated in 1750, by the name of New Marlborough, from the fact that many of the original proprie- tors and first settlers were from this town. The first white inhabitant of the new township was Benjamin Wheeler, of Marlborough, who spent the hard winter of 1739-40 in the place, when there was no white inhabitant nearer than Shef- field, a distance of more than ten miles. The next summer, Noah Church, Jabez Ward, Elias Keyes, John Taylor, William Witt, and probably others from Marlborough, settled there. In 1750, Daniel Stewart, who was clerk of the proprietors, states that fifty-seven lots were taken, and the names of Fay, Howe, Rice, Brigham, Newton, and Goodnow, appear on the list-showing that Marlborough must have contributed largely to that settlement. These facts are stated here, to show that there was a very large drain from the town of Marlborough ; which accounts for the fact that her population increased so slowly.
In 1760, the population was probably about 1,175. In 1765, we have a Province census, which shows a population at that time of 1,287. In 1770, we have an official number of the polls in the town, viz. 322 ; and as the town at that time was purely agricultural, and the polls were then taxed at the age of sixteen years, it is fair to estimate the population at that period at about 1,300.
251
The period which followed 1770, was of course materially affected by the war. There was but little emigration during this decade, and the natural increase would have swelled the population materially, but for the war. Those who have not examined the subject carefully, are hardly aware to what an extent population is retarded by war. Some are killed in battle ; more, generally, die of disease, either in the service, or immediately on their return home. Besides, those in the service are mostly the young, the producing classes, so far as popula- tion is concerned. Soldiers are in many cases single men, and after they return from service, are not usually in a condition to support families ; and hence, if they marry at all, are apt to marry late in life. All these circumstances tend directly to check the natural increase of population. We are, therefore, not to look for a great increase between 1770 and 1780. In 1778, Marlborough had 352, and in 1781, 370 polls. Taking the average proportion, there would be 364 polls in 1780. This would give a population of about 1,465.
From 1780 to 1790, there was a sort of breaking up of the elements of population throughout the State. With the return of peace, there was considerable change in the business affairs of the community, and the inhabitants of the older towns, in many cases, sought an abode in new townships. Marlborough experienced a heavy drain from this cause. Several families moved to Henniker and Marlborough, N. H., and other places. In 1784, when the district of Berlin was created, David Taylor, Silas Carley, John Spofford and John Brigham, with their fami- lies, were taken from Marlborough, to help form that district. This loss of population was compensated for by the fact that, soon after, the line between Marlborough and Framingham was altered, by which Marlborough received Jonathan Robinson, widower, Amos Darling, Jonas Darling, and their families, who had formerly resided on territory belonging to Framingham.
In 1790, the first United States census was taken, and from that time to the present, we have an official statement of the population every ten years, given with more or less particularity, according to the character of the respective censuses. Unfor- tunately there has been no uniform system in classifying the population ; each census in this respect, being independent of every other. Hence the variety in the succeeding tables.

To exhibit the population of Marlborough at a glance, we will present it in a tabular form.

It would be interesting, were we able to give the Valuation of the town in the different periods of its history. But we have no facts to enable us to furnish this information. The records afford no data, and it is only from a few fragmentary papers, gathered from different sources, that the following facts are gleaned ; but, disconnected as they are, they give some inform- ation concerning the pecuniary condition of the town.
In 1771, the Assessors return to the General Court 287 polls taxed, and 36 not taxed ; 169 dwelling-houses ; 394 oxen ; 933 cows; 218 horses; and 3,297 barrels of cider. They also mention a species of property not known or recognized by our laws at the present day, viz., slaves. They were held by the following persons : Henry Barnes, Esq., 2; Abraham Rice, 1; Edward Johnson, 1; and Hannah Brigham, 1. It is due, however, to the people of Marlborough to say, that, from the first, the number of slaves in this town was less than in most places of its size. Slavery existed, to a limited extent, in the State, up to the adoption of the constitution in 1780, when it was annulled by the organic law. But it never extended far into the interior, and where it existed, it was in a modified form.

In 1781, it appears by a return made by the Assessors of Marlborough to the Legislature, that there were at that time in the town, 370 polls ; 186 dwelling-houses ; 177 barns ; 93 shops, stores, &c. ; 7 distilleries, mills, &c. They also return 1,260 acres of English mowing, valued at 12 shillings per acre ; 930 acres of tillage, at 20 shillings ; 1,733 acres of fresh meadow, at 6 shillings ; 4,160 acres of pasturing, at 4 shillings ; 5,368 acres of wood and unimproved land, at 5 shillings ; 2,946 barrels of cider, at 2,6; £3,000, money at interest ; £800, of goods, wares, and merchandise; 747 horses, at £1,482; 396 oxen, at £2,372; 852 cows, at £3,408; 1,586 sheep and goats ; 200 swine ; 182 coaches, chaises, wagons, &c. &c. ; 30 ounces of gold ; 450 ounces of silver.
We have no regular valnation of the property of the town, till 1800. By the State tax for several years, we see how Marlborough stood in the State and County, which shows her relative position. The view below not only shows the relative standing of the town, but the burdens they were called upon to bear at that period. The taxes mentioned below, are simply the County and State tax, and do not include the sum added to the State tax, to reimburse to the State treasury the sum paid to Representatives of the town for their per diem.

In the land tax of 1798, imposed by the General Government, of the one hundred and eighty houses, of the value of one hun- dred dollars and over, only eleven of them were occupied by tenants. This fact shows, that in Marlborough nearly all the heads of families were owners of real estate.
