The village of Cochituate has grown proportionately with the rapid development of the shoe business.
In 1837, 29,660 pairs of shoes were made which were valued at 822,419; 31 males and 15 females were employed. In 1865. the capital invested was $17,850, and goods were made to the value of $282,760 ; 182 males and 29 females were employed. In 1875, there were nine mannfactories in the place, a capital of 851,500 was invested, and the value of goods made was $1.799,175. The number of males employed was 431 ; females, 60. In later years the business has continued to flourish, and the large amount of money annually brought into the place by means of it has been largely expended in a manner which shows the public

spirit of the citizens. Street cars, water works and electric lights are among the metropolitan conveniences of this busy, thrifty village.
As the Bent family have been mainly instrumental in giving to this part of Wayland its importance, a few words concerning it may not be out of place. The Bent family of Way- land originated with John Bent, who came to America in the ship "Confidence" in 1638 (see page 2). Ile was one of the original grantees of Sudbury, and was allotted six acres of land. The house lot assigned him was the sixth from the site of the first meeting house (see map of house lots). The same year John Bent arrived in America he returned to Eng- land for others of his family, and came back the next year on the ship " Jonathan." When the ship was fifteen days out his sister Agnes died, and when they arrived off the Banks of Newfoundland his mother, Agnes, "old and infirm," "fell sick," and about the time the ship arrived in Massachusetts Bay she died. The children he brought with him when he first came were Robert, William, Peter, John, Ann. He had a son, Joseph, and a daughter born in this country. John, Jr., purchased land of Henry Rice, near Cochituate Brook, where he built a house, and it is said his was the fourth dwelling erected on Framingham soil. John, Sr., was a freeman May 13, 1640, was one of the Proprietors of the the Marlboro plantation, and died at Sudbury, Sept. 27, 1672. His wife died May 15, 1679. Peter was the executor of his father's will, and the estate was appraised at £344, 19s. Peter was an original petitioner for the town of Marlboro, and a man of consequence there. In 1661 he contracted to build a bridge on the Sudbury river " for horse and man and loaded carts to pass over." He died in England in 1678, aged 46. His property amounted to £471, 3s. 8d. Among his effects were found a pair of pistols and three swords. Peter had by marriage with his wife Elizabeth nine children, of whom the third son was Hopestill. He was born in Marlboro, Jan., 1672, but, it is supposed, moved to Sudbury before he was of age, as all his real estate transactions, which were many, were dated there. When twenty-eight years old he married Elizabeth Brown, and had eight children. He died Aug. 18, 1725, aged 54. His estate was estimated at £1,425, 18s. In the "Old Burying Ground" is a double slate stone erected to the memory of Thomas Bent and wife, both of whom died, according to the inscription, July 26, 1775 (see page 54). In the same cemetery there is a quaint little tomb- stone to the memory of Ensign Hopestill Bent.

LOCATION OF HOMESTEADS

WAYLAND HIGHWAYS.
ג
LOCATION OF HOMESTEADS.
The following statement concerning Homesteads, Highways, and matters relating to changes in real estate generally, have been furnished the writer by Mr. James S. Draper. They are given not as absolutely correct in all cases, but as the best approximate estimate within reach at the time of writing.
Because of the uncertainty connected with some of the statements, and hence the necessity of employing expressions of doubt, as set forth by such terms as "about " and " probably," the compiler was reluctant to present the data to the community in published form. At the writer's earnest and persistent solicitation, however, consent was obtained, and thus there have been preserved valuable data compiled by one whom we consider the most competent authority on the subject of changes in homesteads along the Wayland highways.
Some of the statements made by the compiler have been received by him from tradition, some have come to him as the result of a long personal acquaintance with places in the town, and others have been obtained from sources of record.
Data relating to homesteads at Cochituate have not been furnished, as the age and health of the compiler were not such as to make it expedient for him to extend his researches further in that direction.
COMPILER'S PREFACE.
The design of the following notes is to afford some aid to enquirers concerning the localities of homesteads that now exist in Wayland, with some that are no longer seen ; together with the names of their successive owners read in backward order, i. e., the latest first ; and also, either direct or suggestive data showing the period of time when both the homes and their owners were extant.
Abbreviations are used as follows : -
a- about. B-built. C. H. - cellar hole. D - died. Dem. - demolished. Rem .- removed. Des. - destroyed. Ho. - house. Loc. - locality. Opp. - opposite. Oc. - occupied. Prob. - probably. R. - right-hand side. L. - left-hand side. The description or heading of each road indicates the direction in which it extends. Thus, the road from Wayland to Sudbury denotes that the serial numbers are to be read in that direction.
