The schoolhouse of District No. 2 stands a little west of the corner on the cross-road.


William Burns (96), Richard Gregg, David McGregor Moore, James C. Moore, and Thomas Hackett lived where Otis K. Quimby now lives. The house stands on the west side of the Nashua road, south of Hackett's corner.


South, on the same road, Daniel Moore (97), son of Colonel Will- iam, built and lived where Daniel Parker and Ephraim C. Hardy later lived ; during the latter's occupancy the barn was burned by an incendiary, it was thought.


Mervin Waldron, Edward H. and John A. Patten, Frederic Weis- bach, Emil Poehlman lived on what is known as the Hardy farm. All the buildings were burned during Poehlman's occupancy; the house was not rebuilt, but Mr. Poehlman rebuilt the barn. Poehl- man moved to the opposite side of the road and lived in the house where John Burns (98), George Way, Thomas Hackett, Benjamin Dowse, and Charles A. Snell later lived ..


South, on the line between Merrimack and.Bedford, Joseph Scobey (99), Col. William Moore, his son, William, and Aaron Q. Gage lived where Thomas S. Burns now lives. This is the original Moore farm. There has been a large amount of brick made on this farm, as well as on the Hardy farm and the Hackett place ; more, perhaps, than on any other places in town. The name of Scobey, though long extinct in town, is found among the inscriptions on several tombstones in the old graveyard.


A few rods east of the Moore farm Timothy F. Moore (100) built, and lived where William Moore later lived, and where Newman J. Blood now lives.


On the north side of the road, running west from District No. 2 schoolhouse, near the junction with the Shepard Mills road, stood a house built for Isaac Chickering Moore (101) by his father, James. He was baptized as Isaac Moore, but was called Chickering Moore for a man by that name in Amherst, to whom he was apprenticed. Robert Campbell also lived there.


Just north Elder William Moore (102), the first settler, his son, James, Edward A. Greenough, and George H. Wiggin lived where the latter's widow, and his son, George H., now lives. This farm was purchased by the town with the proceeds of the sale of the ministerial lands, of James Moore about 1834, for a town farm. A part of the purchase money came also from the surplus revenue dis- tributed by the United States government. It was used for that pur- pose about twenty-five years, and then sold to Edward A. Green- ough. Among the superintendents of the town farm were Samuel

G. Colley, Joseph C. Moore, Mr. Cotton, James Morrison, Benja- min Hall, Lemuel C. Wright, and William Flint.


Col. Daniel Moore (103), an officer in the Revolutionary army, built the house now standing on the Beal farm. He was colonel of the Ninth regiment. Daniel Gault, Charles Lougee, and Silas Campbell also lived there. The house stands on the north side of the road leading to Swett's mills, and is now occupied by John L. Bullis. Stephen Dole, Esq. (104), built and lived a few rods east of Daniel Moore, where Joseph Colley, Esq., Moses Noyes, Daniel Jaquith, John Lougee, Bradford Beal, and his son, Charles B., later lived. The buildings were struck by lightning and burned. Pre- vious to this fire Bradford Beal had built a large barn, connecting it with the house by a long and conveniently arranged shed.


On the road from Shepard's mills to Merrimack, and south of the cross road from No. 2 schoolhouse to Swett's mills, Samuel Gerrish (105), Robert Moore, his son, Charles H., Daniel Parker, in turn lived where the latter's widow, Mary A. Parker, and her sons, Per- ham and Peter, now live. The present barn was built by Daniel Parker ; the house was built by Robert Moore. Mr. Parker carried on the brick-making business here quite extensively for several years.


Thomas Atwood (106) built and lived on the east side of the road where Henry Hale, Alfred. Fosdick, Henry M. Carrol later lived. The buildings were burned accidentally in the winter of 1888.


Southwest, on the opposite side of the road, Robert Wallace (107), Lemuel N. Wright, John D. Armstrong, and Wilson R. Blood in turn lived, where Edward Blood now lives. Robert Wallace kept store at this place.


North of the cross road, on the road from Merrimack to Shepard's mills, Thomas Matthews (108), Deacon William Moore, his son, James, and his widow, Joseph C. Moore, Thomas M. Huse, and Samuel Jenkins successively lived where Farnham Jenkins and Ern- est Jenkins, son and grandson of Samuel, now live.'


Horace White, for many years editor of the New York Evening Post, is a grandson of Deacon William Moore.


DISTRICT No. 3.


James Darrah, Jr. (109), built and lived in the first house in Bed- ford, north of the Merrimack line, where his son, James, his widow, Cynthia W. Darrah, lived, and where their son, William W., now lives. The house stands on the west side of the road. Directly opposite stands a little house built by Mr. Darrah for his wife and daughters to weave and spin in. James Darrah, Sr. (110), the orig- inal settler, and his son, Isaac, lived where Wingate .M., son of the above, lived, and where Carrol McQuesten now lives. The barn on this place was built and the house remodeled by Wingate M. Darrah. Both were destroyed by fire Nov. 12, 1903.

Next north, on the same side of the road, Bernice Prichard (111) built and lived, where his daughter, Mrs. Ellen N. Vickery lived, and where Edward Garceau now lives. Mr. Prichard was a mill- wright and carpenter by trade.


Next north on the same side of the road Hugh (112) and Joseph Moore, and his son, Gilman H., successively lived, where Charles Beland now lives.


North on the east side of the road, Amos Martin (113), Ira Mc- Allister, Bartlett Morse, David Miller, and P. T. Abbott in turn lived, where Lewellyn Dwire now lives.


On the west side of the road, John C. Ferguson (114) built and lived where Peter Gamache now lives.


Next north on the west side of the road Samuel Smith (115) built and lived where Daniel H. Ferguson later lived, and where James L. Mitchell now lives. The house stood a little north of the Ferguson house, on the same side of the road. The present house was remodeled by J. L. Mitchell. Daniel H. Ferguson and John Chase of Dunbarton put in the first carding or spinning machines in the Manchester mills. John Vickery (116) formerly lived on this farm.


Andrew Savage (117), Dwelly Mitchell, Charles Ball, Charles S. Kidder, Sylvester Hayward, Frederic L. Moody, and George Gooch lived in turn where John Dwire now lives. The house is on the east side of the road, near the top of the hill. On the opposite side of the road, a little to the north, stands a small house and barn built by Peltiah T. Abbott (11712), now unoccupied.


On the same side of the road William Moor (118), his son-in-law, Thomas G. Worthley, and Harris J. Ryder lived where his son, Nat J. L. Ryder lived. The house is now unoccupied. A few rods north from this place, on the west side of the road, stands No. 3 schoolhouse. Thomas Harris (119), Ephraim C. Hardy, Orville Giles, Mr. Vance, dancing master, Abner L. Hadley, and his son, Byron T., lived where his widow, Julia A. Hadley, now lives.


Lieut. John Patten (120) built and lived where his son, Captain John, Gilmore Evelyth, and William H. Minot lived, and where Orwelden Frachure now lives. A few rods east of this place Moses Barron (121), the original settler, built and lived. Here was born the first white male child in town. His name was Silas, and he was the son of Moses Barron, who came from Chelmsford to Bedford about 1740, and settled on this farm. By reference to the early records of the town we find he occupied a prominent place in the community. He was a large landowner, possessing about 3,000 acres in Bedford, Merrimack, and Amherst. He died in 1770. His estate was the first settled by the probate court. He had two wives, by whom he had sixteen children, whose descendants are scattered through different states of the Union. Silas was the third child of his first wife, and removed to the then province of Maine, his occu- pation being that of surveyor of land. He never married, and died

about 1816, aged seventy-six. On this place was formerly a cider mill.


James Thompson (122) lived on a knoll a few rods north of John Patten's. The buildings are gone. On this farm Capt. John Patten was killed by the fall of a tree, January 31, 1851.


Between the railroad track and the river, near Moore's Crossing station, Jesse Hartwell (123) built where Cyrus Moore and John Hoffman later lived, and where Julius H. Putnam now lives.


There was a station (124) on the Concord railroad formerly called Goffe's Falls. Later, in about 1868, it was removed to the Manches- ter side of the river, and for several years Bedford had no station. Recently it has again been established as a flag station, and is called Moore's Crossing. One end of the building was used as a station, the other for the station agent's residence. Among the station agents were the following : C. H. Wheeler, J. Y. McQuesten, Isaac Darrah, and Mr. Towles.


On the south side of the Ferry road (12472) there is an old house built and owned by the Amoskeag Land and Water Power Com- pany. It was for the use of their agents, who tended the locks. Mr. Russel Moore was the first of such agents, and he boarded the fore- men who had charge of the help while the railroad bridge was being built. A flag station only was established here at first, which he also tended.


Nathaniel Moore (125) built and lived where Edwin A. Loomis lived, and where George H. Moses now lives. The house stands on the north side of the Ferry road near the station. Near by, on the same side of the road, is a tenement house (126) owned by the Dun- ton brothers. Ephraim Bushnell (127), Deacon Jonathan Rand, Robert K. Darrah, Russel Moore, and his son, Ira A., George A. Dunton, lived where Welcome Dunton now lives. The house stands on the west side of the River road, north of the Ferry road.


Next north on the east side of the road, Samuel Fugard (128) lived where John G. Moore built, lived, and died. Jerome Sturte- vant, his son-in-law, later lived here, and Arthur W. Davis now occupies it. This is the farm the town bought and gave to Samuel Fugard, a Revolutionary soldier.


On the opposite side of the road, north of the County road, Marcus L. Fogg (129) built and lived where Henry A. Smith later lived. It is now occupied by Joseph Gamache.


Joseph H. Ward (130) built and lived where John H. Emery later lived, and where his widow, Martha J. Emery, and her son, Walter H., now live. The house stands on the west side of the road.


Also on the west side of the road Deacon Stephen Thurston (131), James Walker, William Walker, and Arthur F. Califf in turn lived. The farm is now owned by Celibert Maynard. Deacon Thurston's first wife was a sister of Rev. Dr. Parish of Byfield, Mass., and mother of Philomelia, second wife of the missionary Newell in

India. Deacon Thurston furnished the first settlers of Amoskeag with milk, carrying it in jugs holding two and four quarts each. This was before Manchester was settled.


On the east side of the road, Josiah Walker (132) built and lived where Joseph T. Savage and his son-in-law, Charles Tewksbury, later lived and where Frank E. French now lives.


Robert and James Walker, brothers (133), cleared, built, and lived on the land where James and Josiah Walker, son and grand- son of first James, and Edward, son of Josiah, successively lived, and where Miss Mary A. Walker and her sister, Mrs. Rowena Walker Dodge, now live. This farm has been recently sold to Perham and Everett Parker.


The Walker garrison house stood in the field a few rods east of the river road and nearly opposite the Edward Walker house. Robert and James Walker were the first settlers of Bedford. The present house stands on the west side of the road at the top of the hill, and is one of the oldest in the town.


North of the Merrimac line on the west side of the back river road William Montey (134) built where he now lives.


Barney Cain (135), or McCain, lived a few rods south of the present buildings (136), which Dwelly Mitchell built and which Williams D., son of Dwelly, later occupied, and where Mary Sars- field, her father, Patrick Sarsfield, and William T. Brent lived. The house stands on the east side of the road.


Daniel Muzzy (137), Solomon Gage, Joseph B. Smith, and his- son, Benjamin, successively lived where Mrs. Mary E. Smith and her son, George W., now live. The house stands at the junction of the back river road and the road running west to Thompson's corner.


Freeman Thibaudeau (13712) built where he now lives, north of Smith's corners on the east side of the road.


North, on the west side of the road, Solomon Gage (138), Amos Harris, Samuel Lord, his sons, John and James, and William Mer- riam lived, where Napoleon Larouche now lives.


Otis Quimby (139) built and lived on the west side of the road, where William Pellerin later lived, and where Gustaff Pearson now lives.

DISTRICT NO. 4.


Daniel Roby (148) built and lived where John R. Young later lived, and where Edgar Brown now lives. Mr. Roby went to California in 1849. His wife and her mother, Mrs. Samuel Smith, occupied the house after he went away. This house stands on the county road east of the back river road.


A Mr. Schlaughk (1481/2) built about thirty rods south of the road ; the buildings were destroyed by fire a few years later.


Just east, on the County road, Gottlieb Hoffman (149) built and lived where Daniel Mclaughlin later lived, and where John B. Gamache now lives.


Where Martin Bullock (150), Michael Boynton, and Thomas Taffe lived, the house is gone. Edward A. Porter (15012) built and lives near this place.


A schoolhouse (151) stood in the northeast corner of Rodney M. Rollins' field,-the second schoolhouse in town. It was afterward occupied as a dwelling house by Rebecca and Sally Wallace, and is now gone.


A. Kidder (152) lived a little east of the old schoolhouse in the fork of the road. The house is now gone. Benjamin Baker's edge tool shop (153) stood south of the bridge and east of the road.


Capt. William Patten (154) built and lived where Rodney M. Rollins, John Adams, John McNeil, and Edmund Kendall later lived, and where Alfred Porter now lives ; his son Edward A. Porter also lived here. Mr. McNeil went to California in 1849.


Primus Chandler (155) built and lived where Thomas Taffe later lived, and where Charles D. Taffe and sisters now live. The house stands on the east side of the River road. The present buildings stand on the site of the Primus Chandler house, but were built by Mr. Taffe.


William McDougal (156) lived south of the Samuel Chandler house. The house stood in what was Mr. Chandler's garden, near the west side of the road. Mr. McDougal kept bachelor's hall, did the cooking for two persons besides himself, and on the day of his death he had bread enough baked to last the family until after the funeral. He dropped dead while sitting in his chair.


Just north, on the west side of the road, Samuel Chandler (157), father of Hon. Zechariah Chandler, built and lived where his daugh- ter, Mrs. Mary J. Lee, later lived, and where Samuel P. Duncklee now lives. Mr. Chandler was a merchant and kept a store which stood a few feet north of his house. It was afterward built over into a dwelling house and occupied by Kneeland Truel. The farm has been recently purchased by Gordon Woodbury.

Just opposite, Zechariah Chandler (158), who descended from one of the original proprietors, lived where his daughter, Sarah Chandler, Hannah M. Rollins, and her son, Rodney M., lived, and where Mrs. Abby R. Rollins and her son, Rodney F., now live. The buildings were rebuilt by R. M. Rollins. It seems highly probable that Thomas Chandler, father of Zechariah, and who came to Bedford at a very early date, built these buildings and occupied them. This was the first house of entertainment between Nashua and Concord on this road.


About fifty rods north of Chandler's on the east side of the road stands No. 4 schoolhouse.


Samuel Patterson, father of Samuel, who lived at the Stephen Goffe place, lived in a house (159) which stood on the east side of the River road nearly opposite where Capt. Thomas Chandler built and lived. He first (160) built on the north line of the Chandler farm, a few rods south of Deacon Richard Dole's fulling mill. This mill stood where the cider and grist-mill now stands on the south side of the brook. The house stood nearly south, on the north line of the Chandler farm, so called. He afterwards built, as above stated, on the east side of the road from Chandler's, and there James Martin, the first deputy from Bedford in the Revo- lutionary war, lived. Colonel White of Massachusetts owned the land. He met Patterson in Boston directly after he landed from Ireland, and agreed with him to settle upon his land. Patterson had a number of sons.


Thomas Chandler (161) built and lived at the junction of the River and meeting-house roads, where his son, Adam, Hon. George Foster, his widow, Salome F. Foster, and her sons, Charles E. and Herman Foster, lived. Mr. Foster built a large barn on this place, and after his death it was burned, late in 1896, and rebuilt by his widow. This place is now owned by Gordon Woodbury and occupied by Frank S. Crowell. The barn has been moved by Mr. Woodbury to the west side of the lot. In the early days, Mr. Chandler kept a tavern stand here. It was considered one of the best kept hostelries of its time. It was called the "White Horse Tavern," and he was a strictly honest landlord. Teaming was very extensive at that time from northern New Hampshire and Vermont to Boston. Teams would stop a little earlier, or travel a little later, for the sake of putting up for the night with Mr. Chandler.


Just north, on the same side of the river road, John Goffe (162) built and lived, where his brother-in-law, John Parker, lived, and where Col. Edward L. Bailey, son-in-law of John Parker, and his son, Louis, now live.


Whitefield Craig (163), Philip Flanders, and Mrs. Fisk lived north of this place near Thomas Rundlett's house. When Mrs. Fisk lived there the house was broken into and robbed. This house was built out of the old hat shop.

HISTORY OF BEDFORD.


Thomas Rundlett (1631/2) built and lived a few rods north of the late John Parker. He was a hatter by trade and carried on an extensive business. This house was moved away, and is now occu- pied by Warren G. Currier.


Daniel Kendrick (165) built and lived where William, son of Theodore A. Goffe, lived, in a house which stood a few rods north of Mr. Rundlett's, between his house and the mill pond. Theodore A. Goffe also lived here a few years in his old age. The house was moved north, on the east side of the River road, and is now occupied by Edward P. French. John A. McGaw removed both (16312, 165) the William Goffe and the Rundlett houses, and in 1859 built (164) and lived where his widow, Nancy McGaw, and son-in-law, Freeman P. Woodbury, lived, and where Mrs. Freeman P. Woodbury and her son, Gordon, now live. The house was remodeled and enlarged by Mrs. Woodbury in 1891.


Thomas Newman (166), Eleazer Dole, and William Rundlett lived on the east side of the road. The buildings were burned February 19, 1878. Mr. Rundlett went to California in 1849.


Hannah Hawes (167), sister of Theodore A. Goffe, lived in a little house now removed. A Mr. Peabody, a blacksmith, and Whitefield Craig also lived there. It stood south of the Crosby brook on the east side of the road at the foot of the hill. It was built by Mr. Goffe for Mrs. Hawes.


A few feet north of this house, across the brook, stood a two- story house (168) on the site of the building now used as a laun- dry. Rev. Samuel Abbott and his son, Stephen G., lived there. Both father and son were Baptist ministers. Mr. Abbott, Sr., carried on a shop, making old-fashioned slat curtains, and the twine used in their construction. The shop stood on the west side of the road, on the north end of the present mill dam. Rev. Stephen Ganno Abbott, in later life, was United States consul to Colombia, South America. Kneeland Truel also lived here, and many others who worked at various times in Mr. Bowman's mills, formerly Goffe's. Mr. McGaw took the house down when he built the laundry. In early life the Rev. Cyrus W. Wallace was a painter by trade, and worked in the other end of the Abbott shop. John Rand also worked there.


Near to the laundry stood a small (169) house which was burned in 1844. Otis Batchelder lived in it. He and William Goffe married sisters. Just south of the Batchelder house stood the tannery.


George W. Goffe (170) built the house where William Wind- rick, Samuel Seavey, and Daniel L. Felch lived, on the road leading to the river landing, and where Thomas W. Taffe now lives.


On the north side of the road leading to the landing stood Goffe's garrison house. Its exact location is not now known.


Lucien B. Bowman (171) built and lived where Robert Miller, Eli- jah C. Stevens, Frank Harville, and Henry Sanderson later lived.


Col. John Goffe (172), his son, Major Goffe, and grandson,


611


CHANGES IN THE OCCUPANCY OF FARMS.


Theodore A. Goffe, lived in a house near where Col. Thomas P. Pierce built and lived, and where Capt. Samuel T. Soper afterwards lived. This house is now owned by Gordon Woodbury, and is occupied by John Taylor. Captain Soper followed the sea for many years, and was made commander of his vessel when quite a young man. The original Goffe house stood very near the present one. It was removed by Colonel Pierce when he built the present one. On this place Mr. Woodbury built a new barn in 1898. Phin- eas G. Adams once owned this place.


Capt. Thomas Mclaughlin (173), a Revolutionary soldier, Deacon Richard Dole, Daniel Gordon, Wadleigh Noyes, James P. Dennison, Robert Fulton, William A. Putney, and Henry W. Campbell lived where Melvin Kelton now lives. His son, Ora G., formerly lived here. Robert Fulton went to California in 1849.

Robert Currier (180) lived where his son, Warren G., now lives. This is the old Thomas Rundlett house.


There is a set of buildings (181) on the river bank built for a rendering establishment. They are now owned by Gordon Wood- bury, and are used as a tenement block.


Lewis Rice (182) built the house on the west side of the River road south of Edmund B. Hull's. It is now owned by Gordon Woodbury. This house formerly stood very near Mr. Hull's, but was removed to its present location.


The one formerly used as a soapery was also built by Mr. Rice (183), and is now owned by Mr. Woodbury. Both of these are tenement houses.


Thomas J. Wiggin (184) built where Nathaniel B. Hull lived, and where the latter's son, Edmund B., now lives. The present barn was built by Edmund B. Hull.
