In 1869, his health not being as good as before the accident, Mr. Peabody went into Tilton's mill and learned the business iu all its branches, and shortly after the death of the proprietor, in 1878, was invited to become associated with the widow of Mr. Tilton in the conduct and management of the large business left by him. Since this time Mr. Peabody has been the practical head of the firm, the business of which has been largely increased until now the full capa-

city of the mill, about fourteen hundred yards per day, is reached. It is at this mill that the celebrated Tilton tweeds are made. In addition to these tweeds, there are made some styles of cassimeres (introduced by Mr. Peabody), which have become staple in the general market.

In 1880, Mr. Peabody built a fine residence for himself, adjoining the Tilton mansion, on a gentle slope overlooking the mill in which he has won his large financial success.

In politics Mr. Peabody is a Democrat. He has represented the town in the General Court; has been town clerk ; is a director in the National Bank and on the Board of Education, and is an attendant on

public worship at the Congregational Church of Tilton.

February 7, 1867, Mr. Peabody married Elizabeth S., daughter of Darius M. and Elizabeth Richards, of New Bedford, Mass. From this union there have been three children,-Leon Bancroft (5), born De- cember 17, 1867, died March 22, 1868; an infant daughter, born June 7, 1869; and Isabella Weston (5), born December 18, 1871.

Mr. Peabody's brother, James Van Ness (4), is a finisher in the Tilton Mills, and lives in Northfield, N. H. He married Susan Mary Rand, January 1, 1865. They have one child,-Leon Bancroft (5), born February 25, 1871.

SANBORNTON lies in the western part of the county, and is bounded as follows :

West, by Merrimack County; East, by Great Bay; South, by Tilton; North, by Meredith and New Hampton.

The township was granted by the Masonian pro- prietors, December 31, 1748, to John Sanborn, of Hampton, and others. The grantees were residents of Hampton, Exeter and Stratham, twelve of whom were named Sanborn; hence the name of the town. Settlements were retarded by reason of trouble with the Indians, and none were permanently made until 1764. In 1768 there were thirty-two families in town.

The first settlers were Moses Danforth, Thomas Danforth, Solomon Copp, Daniel Fifield, Samuel Shepard, John Sanborn, David Dustin and Andrew Roweu, in 1764.

It is certain from the "Proprietors' Records," as below (says Rev. Mr. Runnels, in his excellent " His- tory of Sanbornton "), that the two Danforthis, Solo- mon Copp, Daniel Fifield and Samuel Shepard, and, as we know from other sources, Andrew Rowen, and perhaps David Dustin (1766 ?), had moved to town during the season of 1764. Also that Daniel Sanborn and probably his cousin John were in town-the former as builder of the mill-early that year, but that they did not move their families till the late winter or early summer of 1766. We find the clerk of the proprietors, by order of the committee, calling a meeting March 2, 1765,

" To consider of a petition of a number of inhabitants of said town, seting forth theair inebility to support their families by reason of the scarcity of provisions, " for which they "pray the proprietors wold help them."

At the first meeting, March 18th, it was voted not to give them any help; but at a second meeting, March 27th, motives of humanity triumphed, this former vote was reconsidered, and it was then voted that

"The above s'd petishoners, namely Moses Danford, Thomas Danford, Solomon Cops, Daniel Fifield and Samnel Shepprd, shall receive of the proprietors £100 o. t. for theair help, the money to be equely divided among them."

It seems, therefore, certain that soon after the en- couraging vote of February 6, 1764, and during the following season, in which Daniel Sanborn's first mill was built and destroyed, the first actual settlers, with their families, came to town. They must have passed the winter of 1764-65 in their settlements, as their peti- tion had reached Exeter prior to March 2, 1765, and they could not have moved hither in the dead of winter. The conclusion is, that the persons above mentioned, and probably one or two others of the first settlers who were in easier circumstances, made a commencement during the spring or summer of 1764.

It was during the previous season, doubtless (1765), that the first " framed house" in town was erected by Sergeant John Sanborn, near the original Sanborn homestead, now disappearing (1880) under the ownership of Mr. Morgan, three-quarters of a mile north of Tilton village. To the one finished room of this house Mr. Sanborn repaired with his family, February, 1766, and himself, his cousin Daniel, who moved up a few days before, and three other men, with their families,-five in all,-were here domiciled the rest of the winter, the beds being turned up in the day-time and completely covering the floor at night ; the cattle also being tied up in the back part of the house. It is certain, however, that the wife of Daniel Sanborn did not arrive in town till the June following, when he had put up the first part of his house at the Square (now the Thomas M. Jaques place), with material brought on his own and other men's backs, by easy stages, from his mill at the bridge, at least a portion of the way, for several days in succession ! A similar experience is assigned to Edward Kelley,-backing the boards of his house, still higher up the hill, to the present "Kelley Ledge."

To this or one of the two preceding years (1764, 1765) must be referred the experience of three young men,-Satchel Clark, Jacob Smith and John Thorn,-

who came from Epping, with provisions (for a few days), axes and guns, to a point just west of the pres- ent Tin Corner, in Tilton. They were there engaged in felling trees, helping each other by turns, when, on one occasion, their camp took fire from the fire of their boiling pork, near by. They were first alarmed by the report of one of the guns at a distance; a sec- ond gun was heard after they started, and the third before they reached the burning camp, to which they hastened, but not in season to save their effects. They were obliged to go to Canterbury in order to replace the provisions they had lost. This camp is said to have stood on the site of the old burying-ground, west of the late Lorenzo Smith's.

Nathaniel Burley and family settled on Calef Hill.

It is well authenticated, by tradition in this latter family, that there were "only three or four little clearings at the Square " on Burley's arrival in town, viz. : Daniel Sanborn's, as before named; his brother Aaron's, a little south (present Kimball or Joshua Lane place); Josiah Sanborn's, in the hollow east of the Square; and Edward Kelley's, on the hill above; while their nearest neighbors in other directions were John Sanborn, "this side," and Ebenezer Morrison and Benjamin Darling, " at the Bridge " (now Eleazer Davis'); Clark, Smith and Thorn, " at the Tin Cor- ner ;" the Danforths, "on the Plains ;" Solomon Copp and Andrew Rowen, " near the Ferry ; " and David Dustin, "at the north." The latter part of this year were added to their immediate neighborhood John Folsom upon, and Samuel Smith to the north of Calef Hill, and others in other parts of the town, as will soon appear ; while the next year Major Taylor came to the Square; and the second spring (1769), William Thompson, to the present Eben Burleigh place. It is also a tradition from the Burley family that their crops were cut off, or greatly injured, these two first years in succession,-in 1767 by frost, in 1768 by hail,-but "the third year, 1769, they succeeded."

The first chaise was driven to town in 1800 by Israel Adams, and this was the only one in 1803. Prior to 1818 no more than seven others are believed to have been owned here, and these, as vividly re- membered by the late Benaiah S. Crockett, were Peter Hersey's, Andrew Lovejoy's, Nathan Taylor's, Moses March's, Thomas Kimball's, Nathaniel Piper's and Stuart Hoyt's. As to the priority of four-wheeled vehicles, a difference of statement has appeared. It lies between the wagon made at Hampstead by David Fogg, in 1806, afterwards sold to Page Philbrook, and by him driven to town, and that introduced by Clark Gordon, the clothier on Salmon Brook. The former was more probably the first, the latter more striking and better remembered. Its body was capacious, holding ten bushels. It was painted gaudily, in large checks, and set on the axle-tree with big springs under the seat. It was popular, and was "let " con- tinually for two or three years, paying its original cost, seventy dollars, several times over. This must

have been prior to 1814, soon after which wagons be- gan to multiply in town from the shop of Joseph W. Clement, at the Tin Corner. Their cost at first was about thirty dollars, being set on wooden axle-trees, with a hole for the tongue, and linch-pins instead of nuts. Iron axle-trees next came into use, then leather thoroughbraces, and finally elliptical springs.

The first framed barn was erected by Josiah San- born, in the valley of Thomas' Brook, east of the Square. The first cows in town fared hard in winter from the lack of good hay, and went farrow for three years or more. To a Mr. Pease, who came to Steele's Hill from Newmarket after 1768, and made only a short stay in town, is yet ascribed the introduction of the first improved stock into the town of Sanbornton.

Even after grist-mills were built in Sanbornton, and the settlers had ceased to bring their meal from distant towns on their backs, the Smith Brothers, one or both, on the mountain, continued to pulverize their corn on a large flat or hollowed rock, as the Indians had done before them (witness a stone used for that purpose, as supposed, near the Esquire Clark place, in Franklin) ; while in the east part of the town it was still easier for certain families to boat their grists across the Great Bay to Meredith Bridge, and even across the second bay to Lake village. Mr. Elisha Smith, in particular, had an old-fashioned boat made of two large pine logs, each hollowed out on one side and mortised together. This hoat would carry sixteen persons; and Mr. Smith was accustomed to cross the bay with each of his boys, who were large enough to carry a peck of grain (himself one and a half bushels) over the neck of land in Laconia, from Danforth rock, by the present county farm, to the Lake village miller's boat, on the shore of Round Bay

There was only one person in Sanbornton who suffered from "witchcraft." The witch (says Mr. Runnels) was Mrs. Mehitable Danforth, on the Plains. He, Mr. - , was on a certain occasion bringing half a barrel of rum to town with an ox-team. Mrs. Danforth, as he alleged, wished him to stop and tap the rum at her house ; and upon his declining to do so, bewitched one of his oxen. Mr. -- beat the ox severely. Poor Mrs. Danforth became very lame, and was compelled to keep her bed several days. Mr. - was pursued by the Evil Spirit, aud used to show prints of the cloven foot on several rocks, which were made, as he said, in the chase across the pasture near Mr. John Perkins's, and are still there to be seen I The only strange thing now appearing is that such ludicrous stories were ever " credited by so many of the inhabitants of the town," as affirmed by the annalist of the town in 1841. The truth of the mat- ter was doubtless this : that while the said Mr. - was crossing Danforth Brook with his undesirable load, brought all the way from Concord, one of his cattle faltered; and feeling thus vexed or "plagued," he charged his difficulty upon "the witch, Hitty,"

which he should more reasonably have done upon the weariness of the oxen and his own muddled brain. This same Mr. - , at another time, ac- counted for the curious marks on the rocks-one of a man's boot and the other a cloven foot-in the fol- lowing manner: His Satanic Majesty appeared to him one night, desiring to hold an argument; and, when baffled in the discussion, retreated in great haste, leaving his footprints upon the solid rock.

Incorporation of the Town .- The first movement for incorporation of the town was a petition presented to the Governor March 1, 1770, as follows :

" Petition of Joseph Hoit and associates, for a Charter of Incorporation for ye town of ' Sanborn.' 1770, March 1. Granted

" PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

"To his Excellency, Jolin Wentworth, Esq., Captain General, Gov- ernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Province aforesaid, in Council.

"The Petition of Joseph Hoit of Strathami, and his Associates, humbly sheweth :

"That your Petitioners, heing agents for and interested in the Town- ship of ' Sanborn ' (so called), in which there are upwards of Forty Fam- ilies settled, who are very desirous of being incorporated into a Town, for many good reasons, humbly request your Excellency and Honors to graut them that privilege by a Charter of Incorporation, as usual ; and your Petitioners, as in duty hound, shall ever pray, etc.

(Sigued) [only by two,-the committee of January 8th],

"JOSEPH HOIT, " JOSIAH SANBORN.

" Portsmouth, I March, 1770."

The petition was granted and the town was char- tered March 10, 1770, by " His Excellency's command with advice of the Council." John Wentworth was Governor, and Theodore Atkinson secretary.

Of the first town-meeting held under this charter there is no record, but it is said that it was held at the house of Lieutenant Chase Taylor. The select- men elected at this meeting were Aaron Sanborn, Col- onel E. Weeks and Stephen Gale. These names are found in " Returns of roads" for 1770.

The second town-meeting (says Mr. Runnels) was warned by the selectmen to be held at the dwelling- house of Daniel Sanborn, at twelve o'clock on Tues- day, March 26, 1771. This was, in part at least, the honse at the Square since occupied by Dr. B. Sanborn and sons, and more recently by Chase and Thomas M. Jaques, rebuilt in 1878. Officers were chosen at this meeting, and "ye Selectmen's account" accepted. It was also voted to "rate all land that is cleared or sowed with grain or hay seed"; after- wards (1784), excepting " new land sowed with Fall grain." There should now be noticed the last of the " Town Papers " pertaining to Sanbornton, found in the "Provincial Records " (vol. ix. p. 757), indorsed "Petition for Daniel Sanborn to be a Justice of the Peace,-

" PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Understood that the Inhabitants have already Petitioned Your Excellency that Daniel Saodborn, Esq., of that Town, may he Appointed by your Excellency to that honorable place, we begg leave to Join them in the said request, and Pray your Excellency to Appoint him accordingly ...... And your Petitioners, as in Duty bound, shall ever Pray, &c.

NOTE .- The above twenty-nine signatures indicate many changes in the Board of Proprietors since their first petition. Those marked (+), thirteen in all, do not appear on the list of 1748. The petition of the in- habitante referred to has never come to light.

At the third annual meeting (1772) it was voted among various other items, "Roads, Bridges, Fishing," etc., "to improve Chase Taylor's barn-yard as a pound." The "warrant " for the fourth annual meeting (1773) is headed "Province of New Hampshire, Rocking- ham, ss.," aud commences, "This is to notify and warn ye freeholders and other inhabitants to meet," etc., "ten o'clock in ye forenoon " being then estab- lished, as it has ever since continued, for the hour of meeting ; but a warrant for a spcial meeting, called for December 13, 1773, is headed, " Province of N. H., Strafford, ss." indicating the new county organiza- tion of that year.

War of 1812.1-A large majority of the citizens of Sanbornton were at first opposed to the War of 1812. On one occasion, the year before, at a " test vote " in town-meeting, it is said that only eleven in the whole town were found ready to support what were then called the Republican or war measures of the ad- ministration, which were thought to be tending towards the opening of hostilities. But after the British had perpetrated their outrages upon our seat of government, in August, 1814, and their fleets were seen hovering along the coast of New England as if meditating an attack, then the patriotic spirit of '76 was easily stirred. It seems that a mass-meeting of the citizens had been previously held, and at a sec- ond meeting, "September 21, 1814," the committee, through Nathan Taylor, chairman, reported 'a draft for a " military association," which was immediately signed by seventy-two individuals, as follows :
