In due time, a committee appointed by the General Court to view the site of the proposed township, made their report to that body, in the following manner :

We the Subscribers being a Committee Appointed by the General Court of the State to View the Corners of Keene Packerfield Gilsom and Stoddard haveing Viewed the primeces Beg Leave to Report, as their Opinion that the parts of Towns Petitioned for to be made into a Town lies Very Convenient for that purpose by Reason of being incompassed all Round with Mountains and Broken Land that is almost impassable Besides their Lying Very Remote from the Towns to which they Now Belong to-but it must Consequently, if incor- porated into a New Town Leaves Some of the Towns from which those parts of Towns were Taken Especially Gilsome in a Broken and inconvenant Shape as may be made to appear by the Plan of sd Town if Sd Gilsome Could be acome- dated by Being anexed to any other parts of Towns which Lies Joyning it is our opinion that it might be a Publick advantage and much for the acomeda- tion and Benifit of the Petitioners

Lemuel Holmes, the former of the two signers of the pre- ceding report, was of Surry. Absalom Kingsbury was of Alstead. This report having been presented to the General Court and accepted, a bill incorporating the town of Sullivan was passed by both branches, and approved by the chief execu- tive of the state, on Sept. 27, 1787. The following is an exact copy of the act of incorporation :-

MUNICIPAL ANNALS.

The town was named for Gen. John Sullivan, then President of New Hampshire. The word SULLIVAN is from the Celtic suil, eye, and ban, fair, and means "fair-eyed ". The name is truly appropriate, for our beautiful hills and the magnificent scenery which we behold from them, together with the "fair " reputation of the citizens of the town, make delightful the natural features of the municipality as well as the companion- ship of its people.

III. MUNICIPAL ANNALS.

Our narrative having reached the beginning of the munici- pal history of the town, we shall not find a large number of events of sufficient importance to entitle them to a place in a published history. The lists of town officers (excepting moder- ators and select-men) a description of all the roads, the appro- priations, and affairs pertaining to the first church and to the schools and school districts, will all be treated in chapters or sections appropriately set apart for those topics. We shall here relate such incidents as were out of the ordinary. Each para- graph in these annals will begin with the date of the annual town meeting, at which the town officers were chosen. In later chapters of the book, dates of elections will refer to the year only. If the exact dates are desired, one can refer to the initial dates of these paragraphs. After the meeting for 1787, the date of each annual meeting will be followed by the names of the moderator (abbreviated as M.) and select-men (abbreviated as S. M.) for that year, after which any events worth noting will be given, to the time for the next annual meeting.

As directed by the act of incorporation, Lemuel Holmes, Esq., of Surry, called the first meeting of the voters. That first warrant was as follows :-

" Cheshire SS.

Keene, Oct. ye 12, 1787.

" These are to give Notice to all persons belonging to the Town of Sullivan qualified by Law to vote in Town Meeting, that they assemble and meet at dwelling house of Mr. James Rowe, in said Sullivan, on Monday the twenty-ninth day of this Instant October at ten o'clock before noon, then and there first to choose a Town Clerk, Second-To choose Selectmen & any other Town Officers necessary to be chosen on sd day, and any other business thought necessary to be done on said day.

" by Order of the General Court

Lemuel Holmes."

Erastus Hubbard, Elijah Carter, and Samuel Seward, S. M .- A special meeting at Simeon Ellis's on May 30, Zadok Nims, M., was the last held at a private house. A list of the non- resident land owners was presented by the committee previously appointed. A meetinghouse was built this year, and, though not completed, a meeting for drawing jurymen, Sept. 19, was the first occasion of its being used. It was next used for a town-meeting on Dec. 21, Elijah Carter, M., when permission was refused Dr. MacCarty and Dr. Prescott of Keene to innoc- ulate for the small-pox, which then prevailed to some extent in the county. All subsequent town meetings were at this meet- ing-house, until the second meetinghouse was built.

During the year 1798, a very singular petition was prepared and signed, addressed to the General Court, praying for a new township to be granted to the citizens of the town on account of their increasing population, that they might keep their sons within the state. This curious document is given as found in the state archives :-

The Petition of the subscribers, Inhabitents of the State of New Hamp- shire, Humbly Sheweth-

meeting. A special meeting, Oct. 7, Erastus Hubbard, M., could do nothing but draw jurymen. The contention was bitter as to the spot for locating the proposed new place of worship.
