TRUE
1. MOSES TRUE,1 a colorful figure in the early life of the town, was unquestionably the Moses placed by Wadleigh on Lot 5, in the 3rd Range South of Corey's Road, or approximately the Ivan E. Scranton farm in Goshen Center. In the Census of 1790, Moses True was listed as having two males under sixteen in his household; they were undoubtedly sons, possibly Moses, Jr., and Caleb C., although proof is lacking here. This date was just prior to the incorporation of Goshen, therefore Moses is prop- erly assigned to Wendell. Ex. Gov. Bartlett notes in his History

HISTORY OF GOSHEN, N. H.
of Sunapee that Moses True was elected Delegate to the momen- tous State Convention held June 21, 1788, when New Hamp- shire voted to endorse the Constitution of the United States of America, thereby casting the pivotal vote, the required ninth state of the thirteen colonies. The issue was hotly contested, with fifty-seven delegates for adoption and forty-seven opposed, Mr. True voting with the latter. He died July 10, 1811, aged 70.
Town records list "the children of Moses True and Polly, his wife," as below. They could not have been children of the elder True and must refer to Moses, Jr., who lived at the Vil- lage, next-door to 'Squire Chase. Wadleigh's map reaffirms local tradition on this point.

WILLEY
1. ALLEN WILLEY, EsQ., b. July, 1760, was included among Goshen residents at incorporation. He was located by Wadleigh on tlie Croydon Turnpike leading toward Washington, yet adjacent to the Willey Hill neighborhood, his residence seeming to corre- spond with the former Herbert Babb (now Brunner) place. In 1809, he surveyed the town of Fishersfield, producing a beauti- fully executed map, shown on the insert at p. 95, Vol. 28, N. H. State Papers. The care and fidelity evident in all its details prove Mr. Willey to have been an exceptionally able man. He was elected to the state legislature by the combined towns of Goshen and Sunapee; was clerk of Goshen's first town meeting in 1792,

WILLEY
1. DAVID1 WILLEY of Haddam, Conn., d. in G., March 6, 1806, aged 80 yrs .; buried at Corners cem. Was definitely related to the ill- fated family of Sapt. Samuel Willey, victims of the avalanche at Crawford Notch, Aug. 28, 1826. Children:
i. DAVID2, farmer living on Lempster Mountain; m. Sarah -; d. June 16, 1819, aged 71; buried at E. Lempster. Harriet (Willey) Willis termed him, "My great uncle, David Willey."
2. ii. NATHAN, b. 1765.
3. iii. REUBEN, b. 1766.
2. NATHAN2 WILLEY (David1) m. Eunice Cary; d. 1826, aged 61. About 1790, he and his brother Reuben came from Haddam, Conn., to the sightly benchland (1400 ft. el.) above the Four Corners, known for many years as Willey Hill. Locating on opposite sides of the range-road that ran southerly to connect with the Boston Turnpike on Lempster Mountain, they began clearing and cultivating their new acres. After getting com- fortably settled the two brothers in company returned to Con- necticut and brought their aged father David home with them. Here he died in 1806.
When one of the houses was accidentally burned in later years, the present brick house was built to replace it. The
437
HISTORY OF GOSHEN, N. H.
cellar-hole of the other, directly across the road, is still plainly shown. Together, in those early days, they sheltered sturdy families that went out, one by one, to successful careers. A descendant, Austin B. Willey, wrote in 1921: "My father (Mer- rill) was born there in 1805. All went to school at the Corner, in a schoolhouse standing across the road from the present one. I have been told in my youth that there were about a hundred scholars going to that school, and about a third of them were Willeys from off that hill."
The two farms later became the property of Peter Ayotte, a hard-working farmer of French ancestry, and in the course of time were handed down to a grandson, George E. Ayotte.

SHOLES
The first U. S. Census, 1790, listed five families bearing the surname of Sholes in the town of Newport, viz .: Hutchinson, Christopher, Aaron, Hannah and Levi Sholes. They had emigrated from Connecticut and were the only ones of the name then in New Hampshire. Of the five heads of families but two are known to have been actively connected with Goshen, (1) Christopher and (2) Levi, who must be termed Senior.
1. CHRISTOPHER2 SHOLES, b. 1765; m. 1784, in Newport, Rhoda, dau. of Enoch and Lydia (Sprague) White; was living in G. in 1800, aged 35.

He remembered the removal of the family to G. when he was nearly six years old and that he wore a blue- checked handkerchief tied over his head on the journey. His mother made beautiful hand-woven "counterpanes" and most fortunate was the young bride who possessed one of them. He was an industrious and highly-successful farmer. During the Civil War wool sold at a good profit and he invested the pro- ceeds of a large flock of sheep in Western farm-mortgages. He worked in his garden to an advanced age, famous for his fine old-school politeness that did not in the least dim a keen and sometimes caustic humor. He served his town in various offices of trust and responsibility; d. Dec. 6, 1903, aged nearly 96. Chil- dren, b. in G .:

"The C. C. C. camps,* placed under the administration of the Army, have attained a highly worthy and commendable state of morale among member personnel as evidenced by increased personal efficiency and, in the great majority of cases, a hitherto unpracticed self-respect. Under the direct guidance of detached members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, detailed to C. C. C. duty, this spirit has been fostered along the lines of a patriotic and honorable service to the welfare of the Nation. In future years, former members of its organization may well look back on their period of service with the prideful knowledge of a definite personal contribution to a struggle waged against a far more uncompromising enemy (the Great De- pression) than has confronted the nation in former crises.
"That the 122nd. Co., C. C. C., Capt. R. S. Pendleton, U. S. Marine Corps, commanding, stationed at Goshen, N. H., has likewise done its part is borne out by a report of actual work accomplished under the supervision of Mr. John Keenan of the N. H. State Forestry Service. The facts and figures are extremely impressive and may well be a source of pride to the people of Sullivan County as well as to the men engaged in the actual performance of the work."
4100 acres, largely in the Pillsbury Reservation, have been sur- veyed, lines run, brushed out and blazed and corners set. All different types of forest growth in this area were located and maps made. To facilitate this work, the telephone-line, Goshen to Cherry Valley, was rebuilt and repaired, poles having been cut and peeled in the woods and then hauled out as needed. Five miles of new truck-trails were built, with three miles of old road repaired, resurfaced and maintained. Roadside-brush on town highways was cut for a distance of twelve miles, in addition to the building of a bridge and a new dam 140 feet in length, built with timber cut in nearby forests. Of firewood, the report states, 700 cords were cut, 550 of which were hauled into camp. Tree and plant disease control was worked out over 8500 acres, with 6000 additional acres mapped and ready for future working.

The town, on Sept. 10, 1804, voted to take thirty shares in the Croydon Turnpike, "provided it shall be laid through Goshen." It may be pointed out that an optional route might have proceeded to East Lempster on the present course of Route 10, to there join the Second N. H. Turnpike, rather than at Washington Village. Proposed value of the shares is not stated but must be assumed as $100. By the 10th. of the following December a town-meeting was in session for the purpose of meeting a first assessment upon their shares in the new venture. Money was evidently scarce, for on the 24th. inst. the select- men were directed to pay the Turnpike corporation $30.00 "of the Town's money they have on hand."
Even thus early there was pessimism regarding the success of the Turnpike and an accompanying vote empowered the town's Agent to sell or dispose of the town's shares. At a meeting March 12, 1805, $270.00 was voted to complete their first assessment.
By early fall a second assessment came due and on Oct. 2, it was "voted that if any person or persons will appear and become obligated to the Town of Goshen by sufficient Bonds to take the said Thirty shares and support, or cause them to be supported, so the Turnpike road be made and completed, then said purchasers shall be entitled to the advantage of the said $300.00 already raised to pay the first assessment on said shares. Voted that John Currier, Daniel True and Benjamin Willey be a committee to dispose of and transfer the above shares in the Croydon Turnpike."
That a transfer of the shares was made to individuals is evident from ensuing debate in town-meetings of 1808 and 1809, when the matter was discussed with negligible action. However, on Jan. 25, 1810, it was voted to give up the bonds to those who had supported their shares and also to those who had not, provided the latter "will give up the subscription-money which they have received and subscribed." The bonds which Capt. Hezekiah Emerson had given the town when contracting for the shares he took in the Turnpike were returned to his family, as his death had meantime occurred. If any of these shares, or bonds, were in existence today they would be of real interest.

"Capt. Daniel Stearns used to make butter-tubs by hand in a little shop near the (Gunnison) brook: he used to come up to my father's shop, 'to saw out his stuff'. This was before he put in a dam and had power of his own. One time he got his right hand terribly torn on the saw: my father did it up for him." Note by Austin B. Willey, 1922.
