his day. His pastor wrote of him as being a man of remarkable common sense, sound judgment and well- stored and discriminating mind; as being a noted referee and peacemaker; generous to the poor and a giver to every good object; and a Christian, straight- forward and devoted to the last.
Ninian4 Clark Crombie, son of John and Lydia (Clark) Crombie, passed his boyhood in New Boston. He had, in addition to the common school, the advan- tage of studying with an uncle (a clergyman) in Princeton, Mass., a year. He was one of the leading men in New Boston for nearly half a century,-one of those practical and efficient men that so much help and honor our country towns. He held nearly all the town offices from time to time, was guardian of the orphian, counselor of the widow, executor of wills, administrator of estates and frequent referee where sound and impartial judgment was required. He was a man solidly honest, was faithful in every place and every decision was marked by good judgment. He was well informed in public affairs and was a positive character therein ; in social life, a genial, witty and attractive man, and a good neighbor. He was a liberal supporter of the institutions of the gospel and a constant attendant at public worship until pre- vented by his last sickness. He lived the life of an humble Christian, though, from distrust of his own piety, he had not made a public profession of religion. He bore with great patience the long and distressing illness which closed his life, March 14, 1880. His end was peace,-one of the quiet, faithful lives that will some time be counted great.
October 29, 1829, Mr. Crombie married Rebecca Patten, daughter of Captain Samuel Patten, of Derry, N. H., who still survives,-a worthy companion and a most excellent and benevolent Christian woman, spending the evening of life amid the love and respect of the whole community. Of the children by this union, only three are living,-
Nannie3 Moor, who married Henry N. Hall, of Manchester, N. H., and has two children,-Hattie James and Rebecca Clark.
John Clark5, who lives in Elko, Nev., married Maria E. Lee, of Toronto, Canada, and has one child, Rebecca Patten.
Moses5 Colvard, married Carrie E. Bell, of Frances- town, N. H., and has no children. They live in New Boston.
The children who died were Samuel Patten 5 (1st), Mary Eliza5, Samuel Patten5 (2d), Hattie Rebecca 5 and James Patten.5

THE town of New Ipswich lies in the southwestern corner of the county, and is bounded as follows : On the north by Sharon and Temple, on the east by Greenville and Mason, and on the south and west by Cheshire County.
The township was granted by the government of the Massachusetts Bay, in 1736, to some inhabitants of Ipswich, in that province, as surveyed by Jonas Houghton. The settlement of the province bounda- ries in 1741 severed a small portion of the Massachu- setts grant from the township. The Masonian pro- prietors' claim, being confirmed in 1745, annulled the aforesaid grant; but the proprietors under it, with others, applied to Colonel Joseph Blanchard, agent for said Masonian proprietors, and succeeded in pro- curing a grant from them at a small expense, said grant being dated April 17, 1750. This grant varied somewhat from the former, but covered much of the same territory.
At a meeting of the proprietors, July 5, 1762, it was
" Voted to apply to the General Court to git the Place called New Ips- wich Incorporated.
" Joted to imploy Capt. Reuben Kidder to go down to Court to get the Incorporation effected, and that the said Kidder shall proceed in the af- fair as he shall think best, and that the necessary charges shall be paid by the Propriety."
He secured an act of incorporation bearing date September 9, 1762.
The following is a copy of the charter : " PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
"George the Third, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, etc. ; To all to whom these pres- ents shall come-Greeting :
" Whereas our loyal subjects, Inhabitants of a tract of Land within the Province of New Hampshire, known by the name of New Ipswich, lying on a branch of the Souhegan River, between No. 1 and Rowley Canada (so called), have humbly petitioned and requested that they may be erec- ted and incorporated into a Township and infranchised with the same power and privileges which other Towns within our said Province have and enjoy ; and it appearing unto us to be conducive to the general good
of our said Province, as well as of the Inhabitants in particular, by maintaining good order and incouraging the culture of the land, that the same should be done ;- Know ye therefore, that We, of our special grace, certain knowledge, and for the encouragement and promoting the good purposes and ends aforesaid, -by and with the advice of our truly and well beloved Benning Wentworth, Esqr., our Governour and Com- mander in Chief, and of our Council for said Province of New Hampshire, -have enacted and ordained, and by these Presents, for us, our heirs and successors, do will and ordain, that the Inhabitants of the tract of Land aforesaid, and others who shall inhabit and improve thereon hereafter, the same being butted and bounded as follows, viz. : Beginning at a white pine tree, being the southwest corner of the Town of Wilton ; thence running west six miles ; thence running south to the Province line, five miles ; thence six miles east upon the Province line ; thence running north five miles to the bounds first mentioned, -Be, and hereby are declared and ordained to be a Town Corporate, and are hereby erected and incorporated into a body politick and corporate, to have continuance until the first day of January, 1766, by the name of Ipswich, with all the powers and anthorities, privileges, immunities and franchises which any other Towns in said Province by law have and en- joy, to said Inhabitants, or who shall hereafter inhabit, their successors for said Town. Always reserving to us, our heirs and successors, all White Pine Trees that are or shall be found growing on the said tract of Land fit for the use of our Navy. Reserving also to us, our heirs and successors, the power and right of dividing said Town when it shall ap- pear necessary and convenient for the inhabitants thereof.
"Provided, nevertheless, and it is hereby declared, that this Charter and Grant is not intended, and shall not in any manner be construed, to extend to or affect the private property of the soil within the limits afore- said. And as the several Towns within our said Province are by laws thereof enabled and authorized to assemble, and by the majority of the vo- ters present to choose all such officers and transact such affairs as in Laws are declared, we do by these Presents nominate and appoint Reuben Kid- der, Esqr., to call the first meeting of said Inhabitants, to be held within said Town, at any time within forty days from the date hereof, giving legal notice of the time and design of holding such meeting ; after which the Annual meeting of said Town shall be held for the choosing of said officers and the purposes aforesaid, on the second Monday in March an- nually.
"In Testimony whereof, we have caused the Seal of our said Province to be hereunto affixed. Witness, Benning Wentworth, Esqr., our Gov- ernour and Commander in Chief of our said Province, the ninth day of September, in the second year of our Reign, Anno Domini, 1762. " BENNING WENTWORTH. " By His Excellency's command, by advice of Council. " THEODORE ATKINSON."
The town was chartered as Ipswich, and was to have continuance until January 1, 1766.
Another act of incorporation was granted March 6, 1766, by the same authority, "to have Continuance during Our Pleasure by the Name of New Ipswich."
The first permanent settlement of the town was made in 1738 by Abijah Foster, who, with his wife and daughter, Mary, then one year old, came from Old Ipswich. His son, Ebenezer, was the first white male child born in the town. Both father and son

were in the French War, and died near Crown Point in 1759.
Jonas Woolson was one of the five earliest settlers, and is said to have been here in 1739, and to have worked about three summers on his land in company with Benjamin Hoar, Jr., returning to Littleton dur- ing the winter. It is supposed they both removed their families here in 1742, soon after his marriage. He is mentioned as one of the resident grantees un- der the Masonian charter. His name is often noticed in the proprietors' and town records, under both of which he was often appointed to important offices. His farm was located on the east side of the river, on " Town Hill." It was occupied by him and his de- seendants for seventy years. Mr. Woolson was at the taking of Burgoyne, where he lost a valuable horse.
About the same time (1739) came Benjamin Hoar and Moses Tucker. Mr. Hoar was from Littleton, and came from Townsend by marked trees, before any path had been cleared. He settled on the lot below Woolson, near the river, near where the first bridge was built and still continues. He was a blacksmith and also kept a public-house, and was a very useful citizen. He was the third settler, and his wife the second woman in town. Captain Tucker settled on the west side of the river, cornering on Mr. Hoar, and his house stood on the side of the hill near the corner where the roads going to the river divide, the farm long owned and occupied by Judge Champ- ney. He also subsequently owned, and probably occupied, a farm on the Town Hill, on the eastern line of the town, as we learn from the record of the laying out of a road to Mason line in 1765, " going on said Chandler's land ... to the corner of his lott, then on the north end of his other lot to Captain Moses Tucker's end line of his lott to the town line," ete. Along this old "country road," then, on either side of the river, was the first neighborhood gathered.
The Bullards, Ebenezer and John, next followed, and settled on the Town Hill. In the records of the town of Groton is recorded the marriage of Joseph Stevens, of New Ipswich, to Elizabeth Sawtell, No- vember 10, 1743, showing that he, too, was at that time a resident in the town. He settled on the Wil- son Hill. Some of the Adams' and other young men, both married and single, came in, so that in 1745 there were a dozen or more inhabited houses in the town.
This, to be sure, was not making any great ad- vance towards a settlement,-far less than the terms of the grant required. The inherent difficulties in effecting a new settlement are always great, especially when remote from others. But in this instance, be- fore the five years' probation allowed them for set- tling their lots had expired, the energy of the pro- prietors had been paralyzed by the running of the province line in 1741, and by the consequent loss of their rights under the Massachusetts grant; and
those few settlers who persevered in clearing and occupying their lands must have done so under the discouraging consciousness that they held them by no valid titles.
But a still more serious obstacle soon interposed, which, for a time, entirely suspended further opera- tions. This was the breaking out of the French and Indian War, in 1744, which spread consternation throughout all the feebler settlements, as well as in the older country towns. The Indians soon made descents from Canada, spreading terror and devas- tation as they went, and the principal towns to the north and west were attacked. The inhabitants of the neighboring towns either received garrisons for their defense or fled to stronger places for refuge. The settlers here, however, seem to have maintained their ground until an actual incursion upon our very borders. In the summer of 1748 a descent of a body of Indians, about eighty in number, was made upon the settlement of Mr. John Fitch, which was located in what was then Lunenburg, and near the south part of the present town of Ashby. He, with his wife and five children and three soldiers, occu- pied a garrisoned house. They were attacked one morning when two of the soldiers happened to be absent, one of whom was killed in attempting to return. After a gallant defense, and the loss of the soldier with him, he surrendered, and with his wife and children was carried to Canada.
There was a block-house in Townsend, at the foot of the hill, above the West village, which still bears the name of Battery Hill, on the south road, not far from the southeast corner of New Ipswich. To this place the inhabitants now fled for protection, with their families and valuables, with one exception. Captain Tucker boldly resolved to remain and make such defense as he could, or otherwise take his fate; and he did so. It is probable, however, that his family accompanied the fugitives. In the course of a month or two their fears were allayed by the re- port of the scouts which had been sent out, that the Indians had retired beyond the Connectieut River ; and they returned to their deserted homes. Captain Tucker was found safe. They also found that their meeting-house had been burnt; but whether by the Indians or by fire from the burning forests was uncer- tain. It was probably by the latter, however, as the Indians would not have been likely to destroy the meeting-house alone, while they left the private dwell- ings unmolested.
The inhabitants of this town seem never afterwards to have been seriously alarmed on account of the Indians, though some of the neighboring towns were led to feel the need of protection. In 1750 Peter- borough petitioned for a block-house and soldiers, pleading their great danger and exposure. Even as late as January, 1755, when the Indians ravaged and burnt the towns on the Connecticut River, the people of Ipswich Canada (Winchendon) called for aid,
612

stating that Indians were about, and they could not cultivate their fields, so that they were dependent on Lunenburg, Lancaster and Groton for food. Nor were their fears groundless, for traces of the visi- tation of savages were detected near at hand by the scouts.
But such was the rapid progress then being made in this town that the settlers felt themselves in com- parative security ; and when, at the proprietors' meet- ing, in January, 1757, the question was put whether "the Proprietors will build a fort or forts in this town- ship," it was voted "not to build any forts in this town- ship;" and again, whether they "will repair Mr. Adams' flankers in order for defense against the enemy," it was voted in the negative. This is the only intimation we have that any means of defense against the Indians were ever adopted in this town. These " flankers " were a sort of breast-work of logs and stakes, extending outwards and inwards from the angles of the house, with a port-hole at the point of meeting. Douglass, who wrote in 1748, says, indeed, that there were two block-houses in New Ipswich. Mr. Adams' house might have been one of those to which he alludes and Captain Tucker's another. It is probable that our forefathers were indebted for their immunity from Indian intrusions to the moun- tain barrier on the west. This opposed a serious obstacle to a ready retreat with plunder; and hence we find it to have been the custom of the savages to confine themselves, in all their predatory incursions, to the principal water-courses and low lands.1
The first meeting of the proprietors was held in Dunstable April 16, 1749. At the next meeting, however, it was
" Voted, that all meetings shall be heald at New Ipswich for the futur ; and that the owners of five shears shall be sufficient to request meetings for the time to com, and that notifications being posted up at New Ips- wich, Old Ipswich and Dunstable shall be sufficeant warning for said proprietors."
Thomas Dennis, Francis Choate, Nathaniel Smith and William Peters, who had been proprietors under the Massachusetts grant, were admitted as proprietors.
The first saw-mill was built in 1750 and the first corn-mill in 1751, by John Chandler.
March 21, 1753, " Voted that Reuben Kidder, Ephraim Adams and Benjamin Hoar to be a Com- mittee to take care of the prudentials of this place ; also to lay out a Burying-place, and clear some their."
February 27, 1754, " Voted to give Joseph Kidder, at the rate of twelve pounds an acre, for clearing his land at the North West corner of his lott, to be for a common, after three years and a halfe from the date hereof." The same vote was passed in relation to the southwest corner of Joseph Bates' lot, and ten acres were afterwards laid out "adjoyning to the meeting- house, agreeable to ye grant of ye same."
The westerly part of the lot then laid out was sub-
sequently exchanged with Mr. Farrar for land "under and about where the meeting-house" afterwards stood.
November 26, 1754, "Voted that four neat cattle shall stock a Right till such time as it shall be thought proper to alter this vote."
August 25, 1757, " Voted that Timothy Heald shall draw out of the Treasury forty-five pounds, old tenor, for keeping Phinehas Goodale and carrying him to Townsend."
