West, on the same side of the road, Robert K. Heselton (272) built where he now lives. Charles Clapp (273) built where he now lives. Andrew Walker (274), Joseph H. Stevens, and Michael Boynton lived where his grandson, George Boynton, now lives. This house stands on the west side of the road leading north to Goffstown from the New Boston road. It is the only house on the road in Bedford.

The Knapp family went to the Pennsylvania oil regions in an ox team, starting from the front of the town house. The neighbors all contributed food and goods. When he reached the Connecticut river he wrote back saying that he thanked God he was out of the hands of the Philistines. When settled in his new home he wrote to friends here saying that he had been elected town clerk, and "God only knows what the future has in store for me," and he hoped he would be " better prepared for Heaven."
DISTRICT NO. 7.
On the Ministerial road near its junction with the McAllister road, Harrison Campbell (278) built and lived where Samuel Man- digo and James B. Turney later lived, and where Edmund Fosher now lives.
At the junction of the Wallace road with the McAllister road Adam Campbell (279) lived where his son Eugene now lives. This house was built by Samuel Gardner, and was moved from the Mat- thew Patten place early in the fifties. John Dickinson rode on the ridge-pole to lift the limbs of the trees over the chimney, as the house was drawn along. Every once in a while he would crow like a rooster or squeal like a pig.
John Welch (280) built on the west side of the Wallace road where he how lives. The first house was burned and Mr. Welch rebuilt on the same site.
George W. Goffe (281) built the house where Seth Campbell

Stevens, and was full of white birch wood at the time it was burned.

The house stood a little south of John Orr Hous- ton's, on the west side of the road. The cellar hole is to be seen. This was the last log house standing in Bedford.
A son of Simeon Chubbuck and Mr. Mckinney's son, who lived on the Vose place, in an old house (306) which stood opposite the present Vose house (307), started a store near the Chubbuck buildings. The money to purchase the stock was furnished by Capt. John McAllister on Robert Walker's endorsement. The business was not a success, and in consequence Mr. Walker was obliged to part with the hill, since known as the McAllister hill, to Mr. McAllister.
About forty rods east of Simeon Chubbuck is where Emigrant Chubbuck (286) lived.
Daniel Vose (287), Adam Campbell, and John Kinson in turn lived where George N. Signor now lives.

About twenty rods southeast of these buildings stood the Walker garrison house. The well located in it is still in existence.

Charles Adams and Edmund Fosher, Jr., lived in a house built by James R. Leach (291) on the east side of the McAllister road where George J. Lahey now lives. In a house which stood be- tween this house and the road, Levi Whitman, a Revolutionary sol- dier, once lived. In this house Joseph Greely, a colored man, was married to Mrs. Sidney, a white woman, by Isaac Riddle, Esq., in 1844. Mr. Riddle used the Episcopal prayer-book for the service, but the ring was omitted. Mrs. Greely afterward was accustomed to use an umbrella on sunny days because, as she said, Mr. Greely did not want her to get tanned.

Opposite the Butterfield place stood a house once occupied by Samuel Major (296), a tailor by trade.
Patrick Larkin (298), Andrew Aiken, William D. McPherson and his son, Robert B., and Milton W. Spencer lived where his widow and son, George O., later lived. The original house was rebuilt by Mr. Spencer, and was burned; after which his widow, and his son, George O., built and still live at their present location (297), which is situated on the north side of what was a part of the Butter- field farm north of the New Boston road. The fire which de- stroyed the buildings at the McPherson place occurred in the even- ing while the family were away. Several horses and a herd of Hol- stein cattle were burned. This was the second time that Mr. Spen- cer's buildings were entirely consumed by fire. Since occupying their present home the barn was struck by lightning and burned during a terrific thunder shower in November, 1900. The cattle and horses were saved. The barn was rebuilt by George O. Spen- cer. Patrick Larkin married Robert Adams' daughter, Elizabeth. When Larkin asked Adams for his daughter Adams said he did not know as he had any particular objection against him, but he did not like the Catholic religion. Larkin's parents were Catholics, and Adams was a Scotch Presbyterian. Larkin obviated the objection
