Wee, whose names are under written, being chosen & impowered by the inhabitants of Salem & Topsfield to runne the sixe miles extent, & also the divitionall ljne betweene the two tounes, have thus agreed and determined, namely : that wee have runne the sixe miles extent upon the northwest & by north, which ends in the edge of a swampe of John Putnams, called the Great Ashing Swamp, next unto a hill comonly called by the name of Walnuttree-hill, nere unto Perries wigwam, & from thence have thus farr agreed upon the divitionall ljne which runns southwest westerly to the river side, comonly called by the name of Ipswich River, where wee marked trees by a rocke towards the

These surveyors neglected to make their return for nearly two years. The town of Topsfield was still dissatisfied, and it made another complaint to the general court. May 6, 1664, the town of Salem chose Captain Curwin, Henry Bartholmew, Lieutenant Putnam and Nathaniel Putnam to attend the court and answer the complaint. Lt. Thomas Putnam appeared in the court against the same. The court heard the parties on the twenty-ninth, and decreed that the agreement of March 25, 1659, was binding upon the two towns, and ordered each town to pay one-half of the expense of running the line. Thus ended the dis- pute of about fourteen years duration. Dissatisfaction generally resulted from fixing of the bounds of the territory of towns, and several decades sometimes elapsed before their final establishment.
At a meeting of the selectmen, April 21, 1651, it was ordered that the fifty and thirty acres of land formerly granted to Mr. Garford should be laid out near Burchen Plain; and that forty acres of land and four acres of meadow formerly granted to Thomas Spooner "was long since laid out to him." There was granted, at this meeting, to Edmund Grover three-quarters of an acre, on the highway side, between his ten-acre lot he then lived on and Henry Herrick's lot, in recompence of some land taken from him for a highway through his lot. Thomas Oliver, jr., was given the privilege of cutting the grass growing on the highway between his father's lot and the lot of Thomas Watson, sometime the lot of Thomas Gouldsmith.
April 29, 1651 (or May 3d), the selectmen granted to Nathaniel Putnam five acres of meadow near Ipswich River.
Apparently, one or both of the parties became dissatisfied as to where the six-mile limit was found to be, and complained to

the general court, and the court, May 7, 1662, ordered that it be run by Ensign Noyse and Jonathan Danforth. These surveyors neglected to make their return for nearly two years, when they made their decision. Their return was as follows :-

Edward Woolen,1 fisherman and shoreman, were also here in 1651.
The December session of the Salem court was ordered by the general court, May 7, 1651, to be held a month earlier, as December, "by experience hath been found too troublesome and dangerous for the magistrates and country to attend in regard of the season."
May 23, 1651, the general court granted to Capt. William Hauthorne, upon his petition ,four hundred acres of land in New Hampshire, considering his good service to the country.
At a town meeting, June 16, 1651, upon the petition of Nicholas Howard, John Batchelder and others that they might have liberty of common in the land lying near their houses and that it might not be appropriated to any, it was ordered "that all that land that lyeth within Ipswich way from the new bridge unto the head of Frost-fish brook undisposed of shall be reserved for common and none of it granted in propriety to any."
The local court sat in the chamber of John Gedney's ordinary at this time; and the court allowed five shillings to be paid to those who attended in the house, two shillings to Robert Prince and three shillings among the rest of the servants. At the same time, the court presented the town for allowing open wells which were dangerous for the drowning of children and cattle,-one near Captain Hathorne's house, one near Mr. Browne's house, and others. The town was ordered to make them secure or stop them up within a week, on penalty of five pounds.
Two days later, an indenture was allowed, by which Jeremiah Boutman,2 "sometime an inhabitant at Thropp, Suffolkshire, England, "with the consent of his uncle and guardian, Mr. Robert
John5, baptized May 19, 1771; married Sally (Peirce), widow of Capt. Joseph Holman (published March 8, 1800) ; died at New Orleans in July, 1805; she died May 20, 1853; 2. Molly®, baptized April II, 1773.

Newman, was apprenticed to Mathew Nixon of Salem for seven years, to be taught fishing.
Nov. 10, 1651, the selectmen, upon complaint by Edward Wharton about a strip of ground "between his house and that which was lately Mr. Keniston's, now in the possession of Simon Groce, that it was a great annoyance to him," they granted it to Wharton ; and William Baylie was given liberty to cut what grass he could find "at the great pond on this side of Mr. Blackliech his farm that is not in any man's propriety until the town take further order." Five days later, the seven men granted to Jeffery Massey four acres of meadow formerly granted, part to be the pond beyond the great river, the rest to lie by the river side ; and "he shall mow the same this summer, not being able to lay it out until after the hay should be taken of."
Late in the autumn of 1651, there was manifest an eager desire to sell strong water at retail, and, November 25th, Emanuel Downing, Capt. William Hathorne, William Browne, George Curwin, Walter Price, Edmond Batter and Henry Bartholmew, the leading men in Salem, were so authorized by the Salem court. As Mr. Downing soon returned to England, his license was never renewed ; neither was Captain Hathorne's. William Browne's license was renewed in 1662-1680; Captain Curwin's in 1662- 1680; Captain Price's in 1662-1670; Edmond Batter's in 1662- 1680; and Henry Bartholmew's in 1662-1674.
Nov. 28, 1651, the Salem court presented Thomas Trusler for taking excessive wages from John Alderman, namely, ten shillings and six pence for a day's work of six oxen and a man.
Dec. 16, 1651, the seven men granted to Mr. Brett sixty acres of land in the, place he desired, if it be there and not pre- judicial to former grants, and if, when former grants are made good, there be any land remaining he should be further considered to have more added. January 7th following, they granted to Osmond Traske thirty acres of land to be laid out near Richard Dodge's farm, in consideration of a highway laid out through his ten-acre lot. They also granted to Nicholas Woodberie forty acres of land,-twenty acres of it to be that "which was late in the possession of Mr. Thorndike."
Feb. 13, 1651-2, the seven men granted to John Swasey1 forty acres of land to be laid out near Henry Bartholmew's farm. "Robert Goodell having forty acres of land granted long since
1John Swasey lived on the south side of what is now Derby Street, in the rear of No. 99 on said street. He married Katherine King; and con- veyed the house and lot to his wife's mother, widow Dorothy King, March 15, 1652-3, removing from town.

Joseph Grafton, thirty acres, John Sanders, forty acres, Henry Herrick, forty acres, William Bound, forty acres, Robert Pease and his brother, thirty acres, Robert Cotta, thirty acres, William Walcott, thirty acres, Edmund Marshall, twenty acres, Thomas Antrum, twenty acres, Michael Shafln, twenty acres, Mr. Venor, forty acres, John Barber, thirty acres, Philemon Dickenson, twenty acres, Mr. Goose, fifty acres, in the whole four hundred and eighty acres, it is ordered that the said Robert Godell shall enjoy the said four hundred and eighty acres of land, being part of the eleven hundred acres, he dis- charging the town of the above said grant, and he is allowed to said four hundred and eighty acres of upland twenty-four acres of meadow, provided that the meadow laid out within his up- land be a part of it."
Henry Bartholmew and seven others, commissioners of the eight towns of the county, met at Salem March 31, 1652, and certified that Maj. Daniel Denison and Capt. William Hathorne were chosen magistrates for the county courts of Essex for the year ensuing.
Arthur Kippen,1 a fisherman, lived in Salem from 1652; and John Hardy had a Scotch servant, named Duncan Macall the same year. Mathew Dove2 was a servant of John Blackleach of Salem for four years from June 1, 1640. He had been a servant of George Luxor, master of the ship Friendship. He married Hannah Archer, and lived at 9 Daniels Street. He was living here in 1689.
April 5, 1652, the seven men granted to Jacob Barney, jr., thirty acres of land to be laid out with fifty acres formerly granted to his father. May Ist, the selectmen granted to Samuel Corney the land that was left for a highway at the end of his ten-acre lot next the river on Cape Ann Side, which was for so much land as was taken out of his lot by the country way, which he accepts of therefor; to James Standish the little spruce swamp near his

house, provided that any inhabitant make use of any of the wood or trees in it while they shall remain growing there; and to Joseph Haughton thirty acres of land where it is most con- venient for him. On the seventeenth, they granted to John Ruck liberty to enclose the highway, now Norman Street, be- tween Mr. Emery's and his land until the end of September, provided he leave bars to be drawn at each end for any that may have occasion to make use of that way; to Josiah Roots the con- firmation of a former grant of a little strip of land, containing about two acres, lying next to his ten-acre lot on Cape Ann Side, on the northeast side ; to John Putnam, sr., what a former grant of fifty acres of land lacked in area, to be made up to him in land lying between his son Nathaniel's land and land of Richard Huchinson ; and to Hugh Woodberie, Mark Lathrop and Thomas Picton a spot of meadow lying between Benjamin Felton's

meadow and the great swamp near Wenham, equally. At this meeting it was ordered that Ensign Dixey should make a gate and bars in the general fence on Cape Ann Side, at the further side of the field on the way laid out to Manchester.
The general court, at its session of May 26, 1652, made an order, for temporary purposes, to establish a mint in Boston, and agreed with John Hull, as master of the mint, to melt all bullion, plate or Spanish coin that any one might bring to him, and, becoming sterling, to be coined into twelve pence, six pence and three pence pieces, with "N. E." on one side and the value on the other side, the mint master to have five per cent of this amount of coin produced. Oct. 19th, the design was somewhat changed, and two rings were stamped on either side, with the word "Massachusetts" and a tree in the centre on one side, and the words "New England" with the year on the other side. The exercise of this prerogative of the sovereign power, although it was intended to be temporary, was undoubtedly hailed with dis- favor when it came to the knowledge of the government in
215

England.1 However this may or may not have been, the powers in the fatherland were not then very critical of the acts of the colonists in New England.
John Brackenbury was presented to the Salem court, June 30, 1652, for wearing points and ribbons. The witnesses were John Porter and Lieutenant Lathrup. It has been said that this prohibition was on account of the strict religious plainness of all things among the Puritans. This is partially true, but the principal reason was the expense.
Oct. 21, 1652, the general court appointed Nov. 10, 1652, to be a Fast day, for the loss of many persons by unwonted diseases ; unusual storms and continued rains ; worldly mindedness, oppres- sion and hardheartedness; England and the wars there; increase of heresies and errors ; etc.
Nov. 27, 1652, the town ordered that the country way from the ferry to Ipswich before Ensign Dixey's house, should be continued, provided he kept it in sufficient repair for horses and carts, which he promised to do.
Feb. 21, 1652-3, the selectmen sold to Samuel Eborn about four acres of land, lying to his house, and to Serg. John Porter was granted fifty acres of upland in lieu of ten acres of meadow formerly granted to him. Nine days later, there was granted to the inhabitants on Cape Ann Side half an acre on the hill adjoining Robert Morgan and Thomas Roots' lot on Cape Ann Side; and to John Remont fifty acres of land next Mr. Alford's farm, which land was formerly granted to Jacob Barney, provided he does quietly possess and enjoy the fifty acres laid out to him in lieu of it. June 6, 1653, the town ordered that the common land lying before the ten-acre lot of Francis Skery, next Thomas Wat- son's, should be given to Francis Skerry, if to any one; but for the present the town reserved it. June 20, 1653, the seven men granted to Job Swinerton ten acres of land at the east end of the forty acres formerly laid out to him in lieu of the two acres want- ing in his ten-acre lot in the North field.
Governor Endecott had two sergeants or servants, at the expense of the Colony, to wait on him, before 1653. In that year, they were Robert Gutch and Elias Mason. Each of them received twelve pence a day for their services, and they petitioned the general court for an increase of pay, alleging that his former attendants were free a portion of the time and could attend their callings, but the time of the petitioners was wholly taken and they had no opportunity seasonably to follow their business, etc., and, also, "considering the difference between their service and

ours in respect of our honoured Gov' habitation." They were allowed eighteen pence a day.1
In 1653, the church in Salem sent to the general court a petition, signed by Edward Norris and Samuel Sharpe, praying that a restraint should be put upon choice of preachers, except upon certain approval.2
Job Hilliard,3 a fisherman, Thomas Barnes,4 a blacksmith, Francis Marsters5, a Frenchman, and Samuel Cutler" first ap- Thomas Barros peared in Salem in 1653. Mar- garet White and Elizabeth Due (Dew) came from Wincanton, England, about 1642. Margaret was the servant of Henry Her- rick in 1651, and became Mrs. Endecott's maid. She married Cornelius Hulett in 1654.
