31 See 24. A school teacher, apparently, by profession.
32 Jacob Eliot, a graduate of H. C., 1755.
33 See 24. Mr. Jabez Richardson was proba- bly a native, certainly an inhabitant, of Wo- burn, in 1756. See Church Records, Vol. I., page 3.
34 Mr. John Fowle, or "Master Fowle" as he was called many years, was a native of Woburn, a son of John and Mary (Convers) Fowle, and a graduate of H. C., 1747.
35 Mr. Jacob Coggin, a native of Woburn, graduate of H. C., 1763, a schoolmaster by pro- fession, and occasionally preached.
N. B. The pay per annum engaged to Mas- ter Fowle, for teaching, is not stated in the Records, except in 1759 and 1762. From the sums paid by the Treasurer at divers times for his services, he appears to have had a little more, some years, than £40 per annum. As the town voted to raise £40 for schooling in 1771, 1772, (See Town Records, Vol. IX., pp. 128, 165,) it is inferred that that sum was the annual pay of Mr. Coggin in those years.
