GAZETTEER OF TOWNS.

A LEXANDRIA lies in the southeastern part of the county, in lat. 43 37' and long. 71° 50',* an extremely irregularly outlined township, bounded north by Groton and Hebron, northeast by Bristol, south by Hill, Danbury and Grafton, and west by Orange. It was originally granted by the Masonian proprietors, to Joseph Butterfield, Jr., and others, March 13, 1762, and was incorporated November 23, 1782. Many changes have been made in the town's territorial limits, however, by curtailment and annexa- tion, so that the original limits, as given in the charter, would be almost en- tirely unrecognizable, they being stated in that document as follows :-

" Beginning at a maple tree in Mason's Patent line, about forty rods from Newfound pond, thence over part of said pond, south 12º east five miles and a half, to a hemlock tree ; thence south 53° west eight and a half miles, to a beach tree, marked ; thence north 12° west four and a half miles, to the pa- tent line aforementioned ; and thence easterly on said line to place of begin- ning."

An additional tract of land was granted by the proprietors, July 7, 1773, greatly increasing the limits, and bounded as follows :---

" Beginning at the southwesterly corner of Alexandria aforesaid, on the Patent line, and running on said Patent line to Fishersfield corner, in Great Sunapee pond, from thence east on the northerly side line of Fishersfield, 472 rods, to Parrystown corner ; then north 85° east, about four miles, to a beach tree, marked, on Parrystown line; thence north 99° east, about 1,672 rods, to a beach tree, marked, in Alexandria corner ; thence north 12° west, to the Patent line aforementioned, on the westerly side of said Alexandria."

This latter tract had been known by the name of Heidleburg for some years previous to this grant, and was subsequently so called by some ; but in nost official documents it was designated as Alexandria Addition. On June 25, 1779, it was incorporated as a separate township, under the name of New London, which name it still bears.

On February 11, 1778, a part of Alexandria was taken towards forming, with a part of New Chester, (now Hill,) a new township by the name of

" As the county is all north latitude and west longitude, from Greenwich, the words "north" and "west" are omitted.

TOWN OF ALEXANDRIA.

Bridgewater. Another portion of the town was set off June 18, 1795, and incorporated as a town by the name of Danbury. By an act of December 7, 1820, a tract of land was severed from the town of Orange and annexed to Alexandria ; and by an act passed on the 20th of said month a tract of land was severed from Alexandria and annexed to the town of New Chester, the last change the town has been subjected to, and it now contains about 20,- 800 acres.

In surface, the town is wildly diversified, picturesque and beautiful. On its western border, forming the dividing line between it and Orange, ranges Cardigan mountain, which, at an elevation of 3,156 feet, towers above all the other elevations of the vicinity. Its base is rugged and covered with a heavy growth of timber, while its summit is divided into two granite peaks which can be seen for miles distant. From the base of the mountain the surface of the town has a general slope to the northeast-very broken, with Prime hill as the highest elevation. Foster pond, lying in the southern part of the town, has its outlet into Newfound lake, which extends a short dis- tance into the northeastern part of the town. Into this outlet debouche two other quite large streams, with their tributaries, forming the water-course of the township. The larger of these tributary streams, Fowler's river, has its source near the summit of Cardigan mountain. The soil is in general good, especially bordering the streams and ponds where are found excellent alluvial deposits. There is also about 2,000 acres of valuable intervale land which bears every evidence of having once been the bottom of Newfound lake, there being found imbedded, at the depth of twenty feet, stumps, trees, and traces of beaver dams.

In 1880 Alexandria had a population of 832. In 1885 the town had nine school districts and nine common schools. Its twelve school-houses were valued, including furniture, etc., at $2,425.00. There were 159 children attending school, taught during the year by three male and ten female teach- ers, at an average monthly salary of $23.00 for males and $19.34 for females. The entire amount raised for school purposes during the year was $833.88, while the expenditures were $1,507.15, with A. F. Cheney, superintendent.

ALEXANDRIA is a small post village located in the eastern part of the town. SOUTH ALEXANDRIA (p. o.) is located in the southern part of the town.

Alexandria Town Library .- The town has a good library of 465 volumes. Dr. Timothy Haynes bequeathed by will $1,000.00 to the town as a library fund, provided the town would raise a like sum for the same purpose. This requirement was promptly met, the library was established, and a part of the town-house was lately appropriated to its use.

Erastus T. Hutchins's saw-mill, located in the northern part of the town, was built by David Martin, about thirty years ago. It has the capacity for cutting about 500,000 feet of lumber per year.

James W. Saunders's saw, shingle and planing-mill, located in the north- ern part of the town, was originally built by Nathan Sleeper, was rebuilt by

TOWN OF ALEXANDRIA.

A. H. George, greatly repaired by W. H. Folsom, who put in circular saws, and was finally purchased by the present proprietor. It has the capacity for sawing 500,000 feet of lumber per year.

Seth G. Patten's steam saw-mill, located in the western part of the town, on road 34, was built by him in 1883. It is the only steam mill in the town, is supplied with circular saws, shingle-mill and planer, and has the capacity for cutting 1,000,000 feet of lumber per annum.

The settlement of the town was not commenced until December, 1769, when William, Jonathan, and John Moor Corliss came on and commenced a clearing. But the ice once broken settlers seem to have come in rapidly, for in a petition sent to the general court only four years later, in 1773, is ap- pended the names of all the male inhabitants at that time, which were as fol- lows :

James Russell, Moses Johnson,

Ebenezer Wells,

Eliphalet Gale, Asa Hastings,

William Powell,

John Moor Corliss,

Jonathan Merrill,

Anthony Taylor,

Josiah Emerson, Jonathan Corliss, John Tolford,

George Corliss, David Atwood,

William Palmer,

David Cross, Jeremiah Ladd,

Jonathan Palmer,

William Patterson, Nason Cash,

Jonathan Palmer, Jr.

Daniel MacMurphy, Joseph Atwood, Ebenezer Farrar,

Christopher Bartlet, Jonathan Farrar,

John Champney,

Benjamin Hoyte,

Jonathan Taylor,

John Fravier,

Thomas Hoyt. James Taylor.

This petition was for a reduction and equalization of taxes, as they were " a burthen insupportable for them in their present infant state, and much heavier than what is laid on other towns of their ability." In December, 1775, we find the additional names of William Morrow, Robert Morrow, Jonathan Clark, William Palmer, John McMurphy, Joseph Basford, Jr., Will- iam Polee and Joseph Hoyt, while the Census report for that year shows the entire population to have been 137 souls. An inventory of the town was taken in 1777, with the following result :-

"No. of polls, eighteen years of age and upwards. 36

"No. of acres of arable or tillage, and mowing land. 93

"No. of horses and mares. 12

"No. of oxen 28, cows 42, cattle three years old 10.
