TOWN SEAL.
The following explanation is given by the committee chosen by the town to procure a town scal :
The first settlers in Watertown (the western boundary of Watertown in 1635 being the present dividing line between Wayland and Weston) were first attracted by the " abundance of game" to traverse the "Pine Plains,"-the area of land extending from the residence of the late Dea. James Draper, northerly, to the "Block House," built for a "look-out " and refuge against the Indians, and westerly to "Whale's Bridge," so called,-containing several hundred acres, heavily wooded, -also the "Lower Plains," bordering upon "Concord or Sud- bury river," and the " Meadows," from which " forage for cattle " was easily obtained in large quantities. They reported back to their associate settlers the advantages of taking up the land near the river, "under grants from the General Court," which Jed to the formation of a "settling party," comprised of a portion of the settlers of Watertown, with a company from Sudbury, in England, recently arrived.
There is abundant evidence (see town records, four vols. in the selectmen's office, Old Colony records, and the manuscript in the library at Sudbury, of the late Dr. Thomas Stearns, containing several interesting facts obtained from the Mass. Hist. Society,) showing that the strongest inducement to settle was the large extent of meadows and level land upon the easterly side of the river, the right to occupy which, unmolested, was obtained from the Indians by presents of wearing apparel, &c.
The seal states the time of settlement, the year of incorpora- tion as a separate town, and change of name, in the manner advised by the engraver, representing "Concord or Sudbury river" and the " Meadows," two of the inhabitants,-dressed in the Puritan garb, upon the east side of the river, opposite the "Indian Bridge " mentioned in the records,-intimating to the two Indians on the other side the wish to live peaceably as occupiers of the same soil.
