In 1761 the order for taking the inventory of the polls and ratable estates in Bow was delivered to

Colonel Jeremiah Stickney, of the Rumford parish. He refused to act, saying : " We never understood we had power to act under the incorporation of Bow, in which, if we were mistaken, it was our unhappiness." It is difficult to see why he had not power to act, and retained the remaining part of Bow in one town- ship

The selectmen of Canterbury were appointed in April of the same year to take the inventory of the polls, stocks and improved lands in the township of Bow, which was nearly all in the Rumford graut. Samuel Rogers, Francis Carr, Ephraim Foster, John Noyes, Jr., Samuel Welch, Ebenezer Carlton and Reuben Currier lived on the territory now included in Bow. The invoice consisted of 154 polls, 91 houses, 341 acres planting-ground, 498 of mowing, 16 of orcharding, 16 oxen, 222 cows; 85 cattle, three years; 90 cattle, two years; 103 cattle, one year; 77 horses, 37 under four years; 150 acres pasture land, 6 negroes ; 6 mills, yearly income, £125. The valuation was £4828 10s. and £1000 damage. Signed by Ezekiel Morrill, Thomas Clough, selectmen of Canterbury. We have no means of knowing that the tax was collected.

The Rev. Mr. Walker visited England for the third time in the fall of 1762 to attend the trial of the cause, which was yet pending. It was finally decided on the ground that whoever settled under a grant from either side, if he happened to be on the wrong side of the line when it came to be settled, his pos- sessiou should be his title, and what a man claimed under a certain title, part of which he improved, was his property.

In 1764, Solomon Heath, Edward Russell and Thomas Chandler, lately settled in the northwest part of the present township of Bow, petitioned the General Court June 12th, saying they "understand there is a very great Province Tax laid on the in- habitants of Bow the last year, this present year and the next year for their Delinquency for the past seven or eight years last past, which would almost ruin them if obliged to pay any proportion of it, and wish to be relieved from so doing." Said petition was read in Council and House June 14th, when it was voted that a hearing be had next August, and the selectmen of Pembroke and Ezra Carter, Esq., and Captain John Chandler, assessors of Bow, be served with a copy of the petition and the order of court, and they stated to His Majesty's Council "that there are 41 polls, with the estates they possess, within the limits of Bow that are exactly similar to these peti- tioners, and also sixty or more Polls and estates of minors, and so not liable to be taxed when the rates were due for which this Tax is ordered, but have since come of age; many have left town and some the Province since these taxes were assessed and are ex- empt from our power of taxing them, and they ask whether there is not the same reason that these others should be freed as that the petitioners should,

which, if the Case, we are well assured that it will be impossible for the small remainder to pay the whole of said tax." In the Honse of Representatives, Jan- uary 9, 1765, this petition was read and it was "Voted, that the prayer be Granted, and that the petitioners have leave to bring in a bill accordingly. In Council read & concurred Jany. 10th."

The inhabitants of Bow outside of Rumford felt the oppression of taxation in arrears. It is stated in the petition of Timothy Walker in behalf of the inhabitants of Rumford, April 11, 1764, that "they would have been glad to have acted even under the incorporation of Bow if they could, although highly inconvenient for them, as it blended part of three towns whose interests had always been separate; that they conceive themselves greatly aggrieved the heavy tax in arrears that nobody has power to collect. They therefore most humbly pray To be Incorporated by their former known boundaries, and that the In- habitants may be abated at least one-half of the ar- rearages." In answer to this petition, the House of Representatives reaffirmed that "what the town of Bow is now in arrears for the Province tax shall be collected, and all the inhabitants on lands between Canterbury, Bow and New Hopkinton shall be taxed and pay their proportion."

May 25, 1765, "Whereas there are sundry arrearages of taxes now dne, which the inhabitants aforesaid apprehend they cannot levy for want of sufficient au- thority, and several of them praying they might be erected into a town or parish and enjoy the common privileges of other towns in this province : Be it en- acted" (here the boundaries of Concord are inserted, beginning at the southeast corner of Boscawen at the mouth of the Contoocook; thence running south, sev- enty-three degrees west, four miles; thence south, sev- enty-three degrees east, seven miles and one hundred rods ; thence north, seventy-three degrees east, about four miles to Merrimack River-this last the present line between Bow and Concord; then crossing said river the same course to the Soucook River, etc. ) "that the polls and estates within the same bounds be made a parish by the name of Concord with all the powers of other towns in this province excepting the laying out of roads, when application shall be made to the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Province."

The selectmen of the new parish were to nnite with John Noyes and Edward Russell to assess the arrearage taxes.

The triune township of Bow no longer exists. The New Hampshire government has tenaciously adhered to their original purpose of giving Bow the pre-emi- nence, and disallowing all the claims of Rumford as incorporated by Massachusetts. The idea advanced in the order of the government to the surveyors of Pen- nacook, in 1726, that the Massachusetts government granting a township there might be attended with very ill consequences to the settlers had been verified. All concerned are heartily tired of this state of things,

and pray for a reconciliation, which can only be done by giving the Rumford settlers their township. The Bow proprietors were not actual settlers, and, living in the eastern part of the State, held their annual meetings at Stratham, independent of the Rumford and Suncook settlers, and the few families outside re- fused to act. Their feelings can be best known by the following, which also shows who the actual set- tlers were at that time :

"To His Excellency, Benning Wentworth, Esq., Governor and the Hon'bl, His Majesty's Council and House of Representatives in General Assembly. The petition of sundry of the Inhabitants of the town of Bow not within Concord, Humbly shaweth that Great Difficulty and hardship hath arose by our heing Rated with old Arrairages (in years past) with Concord People and some Difficulty arises with our beiog Rated with them oow and it hath beu a Great hendrance to many mora Settlements being made in s'd Bow.

The first enumeration of the people of the province was made in 1767 by order of the General Assembly. The return from Bow was as follows, viz. :

Unmarried meo from sixteen to sixty 17

Married man from sixteen to sixty . 33

Boys under sixteen 50

Men sixty and upward 2

Unmarried females 50

Married females 33

Widows

Total 187

The Rumford parish being granted town privileges by the name of Concord, those living outside, not yet acting in the capacity of a town, a petition, of which the following is an answer, was presented to Jeremiah Page, Esq., of Dunbarton,

"In answer to a petition to mia Presented by fourteen of the iohabi- tanta of Bow who are not set of ioto any Parish ; Humbly Shewith that they Should be warned to meet at the Dwelling House of William Rob- ertson of sd Town on Wednesday tha elavanth Day of march next, att Ten o'clock in the furenvon to act on the following affairs.

" Voted to build a meeting-house by Subscription." "Voted to adjourn sª meeting to the first Tuesday of May next, to meet at the House of Ephraim Foster." Met ac- cording to adjournment, and adjourned to the 13th of July, at which time the aforesaid officers made oath to be faithful in the discharge of their offices according to law. This was the first town- meeting of the inhabitants of Bow, a notice of which being served on the proprietors, they, at their annual meeting at Stratham, the first Thursday in April, 1767, agreeable to charter, declared :

" As it may be Necessary that ed Inhabitants should act in Town affairs separate from the Propriety, it is therefore by sª Proprietors voted, that as much as in them Lies, they approve of ed lohabitants choice of sd Gentlemen to their Respective Offices aforesaid.

" Attested by

" SAMUEL. LANE, Proprietors' Clerk."

From this time the inhabitants managed their own affairs independent of the original proprietors, but were still rated with Concord. August 28, 1767,-

" The Selectmen, in behalf of themselves and inhabitants of gd Bow, exclusive of such as are set of into Parishes ; Humbly Sheweth that they have chosen towo officers agreeable to Bow Charter and are ready and willing to assess, collect and Pay our proportion of Publick charges with other towns in this Province, your petitioners Have Been and are now greatly abused by heiog Rated with Concord, for Their Selectmen are the major part of the assessors and they make the rate as they see fit ; Wherefore, the sd petitioners Humbly and Earnestly Pray your Excellency and Honors to take their Distressed Carcomstancee under consideration, and Relieve them from being Rated any longer with Concord, in such manner as your Honors shall see Fitt, and your Peti- tioners, as in duty bound, Shall Ever Pray-

"EPHRAIM MOOR,

" In Council Angust 28, 1767 .- Read and Ordered to be sent down to the Honorable House.

"T. ATKINSON, JR., [Secretary."]

September 30th the selectmen called a meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants of Bow, to be held at the house of Ephraim Foster, in said town, on the 19th of October, when it was " Voted to allow what roads the selectmen have laid out, and that no more be laid this year." "Voted to work three days' work on the highway this year." The road from Concord down the Merrimack River to the northerly corner of Samuel Welch's land was laid prior to 1757. A drift-road, two rods wide, was opened " from that by sª Welch's land, through John Noyes, Jr.'s, land to the ridge about forty rods above John Noyes, Esq.'s, House, following said Ridge till it strikes the river ; thence down the river to Starkestown line; thence Beginning at Benjamin Noyes' Ferry, forty rods above his house, crossing the river to the mouth of Suncook River & up sd river to Allenstown line."

In 1768 the annual meeting was held at the house of Joseph Rogers. He was chosen moderator; William Robertson, town clerk ; Edward Russell, John Rob- ertson and Aaron Kinsman, selectmen ; James Moor,

constable; Caleb Buswell, William Robertson and John Hemphill, committee to examine selectmen's accounts.

"Voted to build a Pound near Ephraim Foster's House, sª Foster to be Pound-keeper," and "Voted forty Dollars to repair highways, to be worked at forty shillings per day." Roads were returned from Tom Merrill's bridge, west of Seriah Morgan's, easterly by John Robertson's house to Baker's ferry, to be two rods wide; also from Samuel Welch's land northwest- erly to Thomas McConnell's land, two rods wide, thence to Kinsman's Mills, thence northerly to Con- cord line, keeping the breadth of four rods; also a road from Kinsman's Mills at Turkey River bridge (to be four rods wide) to Tom Merrill's bridge, thence to the meeting-house near Elisha Clough's land, thence to White Rock Brook, over Wood Hill, by Samuel Rogers' house, to Dunbarton line.

It is supposed the line of travel from one settler's dwelling to another was on or near the newly-re- turned roads, -first a foot and horseback path, perhaps, then a cart-road, and finally a formal high- way. Turkey River bridge and Tom Merrill's had been built previous to this date. The amount of ratable estate in town at this time was £1500; the tax £3, 10s. on £1000. There were forty-eight ratable polls over sixteen years old. In 1769 the meeting warned by James Moor, constable, in the name of His Majesty, met at the house of Francis Carr. Edward Russell was chosen moderator, Wil- liam Robertson, town clerk; John Noyes, David Clement and Edward Russell, selectmen; Joseph Rogers, constable. " Voted to accept the road from Dumbarton to Concord over Wood Hill." At an ad- journed meeting, "Voted to accept the road from Wm. Parker's house to Merrimack River." The State being divided into five counties, Bow was included in Rockingham.

At the annual meeting in 1770, Edward Russell, Ephraim Foster and Moses Garvin were chosen select- men. " Voted sixty dollars to be worked on the high- way at forty shillings per day." At a meeting called by Samuel Welch, constable, by order of the select- men, to be held at the meeting-house, "Voted to pay Mr. Wooster thirty dollars for preaching this year."

The annual meeting at the meeting-house in 1771, chose Edward Carlton, Benjamin Noyes and Joseph Baker selectmen, and other town officers. "Voted thirty dollars for preaching," aud "Voted not to raise money to hire a School-Master this year." " Voted to buy a town-book and Pay William Robertson for drawing of the records."

In 1772, Edward Russell, John Grushee and Leon- ard Harriman were chosen selectmen. "Voted thirty dollars for preaching and thirty dollars for a town school." "Voted to sell all right or title to a forty-acre lot in Pembroke, as laid out by the Proprietors, to Ebenezer Frye." "Voted to release Stephen Kinsman's and Francis Carr's minister tax,

Fourteen of the past selectmen signed a paper, giving all their services as selectmen.

At a meeting called for the purpose, February 24, 1773, Aaron Kinsman was chosen to serve as a grand juror to His Majesty's Superior Court of Judicature, to be held at Portsmouth in and for the county of Rockingham. At the annual meeting, Edward Rus- sell, Ephraim Foster and Benjamin Noyes were chosen selectmen ; John Grushee and Leonard Harriman, deer-reeves; Edward Carlton, town clerk. The new proportion, settled by the General Assembly, gave Bow sixty-four polls, sixty-eight ratable estates ; tax on £1000: £3 5s. According to a census taken by order of Governor John Wentworth, Bow contained 308 inhabitants,-58 married men and women the same, 101 unmarried females, 5 unmarried men from sixteen to sixty, 84 boys sixteen years and under, 2 men sixty years and upward. Signed by Benjamin Noyes and Solomon Heath.

In 1774, Timothy Dix signed his name as town clerk at a meeting called for choosing a grand juror to the September court; James Buswell was chosen. At the annual meeting James Buswell, Enoch Noyes and John Carr were chosen selectmen. "Voted that the meeting-house be on the Hill, where it now stands, and not at the Centre." "Voted to give Mr. Fessenden an Invitation to settle with us in the ministry, giving bim one thousand pounds, Old Tenor, in Lands for his settlement, besides a yearly salary of forty pounds, and to advance his salary as the town grows able, and chose a committee to Treat with him." He was probably their settled minister for three years; he then preached for the Presby- terians in Pembrook one year ; then, with Rev. Mr. Pearsons, supplied in Bow. The church at this time was mixed,-Congregational, Presbyterian and Bap- tist.

A decade had now passed since the British Parlia- ment made a law that it had a right to tax the colonies. The Stamp Act was passed, which provided that all deeds, notes, bills and other legal documents should be written on stamped paper, at certain fixed rates. Americans denied that Parliament had a right to impose taxes on them, and expressed their opinion in the sentiment that "Taxation without representa- tion is tyranny." Public meetings, protesting against the Stamp Act, were held in all the colonies, and public opinion nullified the law and it was repealed.

Parliament then put a tax of three-pence a pound on tea ; but the people determined not to import any

tea. The press, the pulpit and Colonial Legislatures denounced the acts, and an attempt to raise a revenue in America by taxation proved a failure. British troops were stationed at Boston and New York. The colonists resolved to consult together, and the First Continental Congress was called at Philadelphia September 5, 1774, which recommended the suspen- sion of all commercial intercourse with England, and agreed to meet again in May, 1775. The General Assembly of New Hampshire sent letters to the several towns in the province requesting them to send deputies to a convention, to be held at Exeter, to choose delegates to a General Congress to meet at Philadelphia. Accordingly, a meeting was called, to be held January 12, 1775, "to see if the town of Bow will vote to Chuse a man to go to Exeter to set with the Provincial Committee to Chuse delegates to go to Philadelphia to the Congress in May next. Voted not to send a man, but voted to Buy a town stock of ammunition ; also to get the money due from Lieut. Fry soon as they can without cost."

At the annual meeting, April 6, 1775, Benjamin Bean, John Noyes and Leonard Harriman were chosen selectmen. " Voted to raise 30 dollars for schooling, also to divide into districts as last year, and to raise eight dollars to repair highways. Bought a town-book for fifteen shillings."

On May 11th, pursuant to call, a town-meeting was held, and it was voted to send Benjamin Noyes as a delegate to the Fourth Provincial Congress at Exeter the 17th of May ; it was also voted to drop school and highway rates for the year, probably on account of the war. Aaron Kinsman received a captain's commission, March 2d, for the Seventh Company, First Regiment, Colonel John Stark. June 23d the town militia was organized by the choice of Ephraim Foster, captain ; Ephraim Moor, lieutenant ; Ralph Cross, ensign; and Esquire Bryant, James Moor, Samuel Rogers, John Noyes and Benjamin Bean, a Committee of Inspection or Safety.

An order was sent to the several towns in the prov- ince, by the Provincial Congress, August 25th, for the taking of an exact count of the number of in- habitants by the selectmen of the several towns. The following is the return from Bow :

" Males under 16 years of age 88

strated against commissioning him until the town had an opportunity to recommend another man. Febru- ary 14th a meeting was called for that purpose, to be held the 22d, when Ephraim Foster was chosen as the man.

At the annual meeting, April 4th, John Bryant, Benjamin Noyes and Ephraim Foster were chosen selectmen, and " voted to raise 50 dollars for preach- ing, to be proportioned above and below Merrill's bridge, according to money raised, and 50 dollars for schooling." Captain Caleb Page was representative at the September session from Bow and Dunbarton, and John Bryant at the December session.

In Congress, March 14, 1776, "Resolved that the Committees of Safety of the United Colonies im- mediately cause all persons to be disarmed who refuse to associate to defend, by use of arms, the United Colonies against the British Fleets and armies."

April 12th the Committee of Safety of New Hampshire requested the selectmen of towns to desire all males above twenty-one years of age to sign the following declaration, called the Association Test: "We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly en- gage and promise that we will, to the utmost of our power, at the risque of our lives and fortunes, with arms, oppose the hostile proceedings of the British Fleets and Armies against the United American Colonies." The act of signing the above was similar to that of the patriots who signed the national declaration, July 4th. The signers in Bow were,-

Ephraim Foster, Joseph Rogers, Nathanel Collier, John Bryant, Ralph Cross, John Brown, Benjamin Bean, Antony Manuell, Paltiah Clement, James Buswell, Timothy Dix, Richard Clough, Jr., John Carr, Samuel Dow, Henry Hemphill (his X mark), Stephen Eastman, Eheha Clough, Joseph Baker, David Carr, Elisha Clough, Jr., Samnel Welch, John Grushe, Thomas Hardy, William Robertson, Jonathan Clement, Edward Carlton, Aaron Noyes, Solomon Heath, Samuel Rogers, Jr., John Noyes, Edward Russell, Aaron Kineman, James Reddell, David Foster, Renben Currier, John Garven, David Elliot, Richard Clough, Goin Hemphill, John Colby, John Robertson, John Moor, Abraham Colby, James Moor, Samuel Alexander, Willaby Colby, Leonard Harriman, Samnel Welch, Jr., Eligah Colby, John Sulliway, Jacob Stockhridge, Joseph Rogers, Jr., Enoch Noyee, Jonathan Clough, Ephraim Moor, Samuel Winslow, Ben- jamin Noyes, Amosa Dow and Simeon Heath,-Total, 63.

Heretofore the annual meetings had been called by the province of New Hampshire, but the meeting for April 3, 1777, was warned by the State of New Hampshire to the inhabitants of the town of Bow.

Bow's proportion, was paid by Edward Evans, con- stable.

In 1778, William Robertson, David Carr and Samuel Alexander were chosen to do the town busi- ness for the year. "Voted to hire a man to go to Stratham to get a copy of the names of the Proprie- tors of the unimproved lots in town. Joseph Baker, James Buswell, Edward Carlton, John Bryant, William Robertson, Ephraim Foster, Edward Russell, Benjamin Bean, Leonard Harriman, John Noyes, Enoch Noyes and John Carr gave to the town their services as selectmen from 1768 to April 1, 1778, and Timothy Dix gave his services as town clerk since.

In 1774, " voted 100 dollars for preaching and 100 for schools, and to exempt John Garvin from paying his tax this year, on account of his loss by fire, and also Reuben Currier, he having lost his horse and cow." "Voted the invoice be taken the second week in April this year, and to send John Bryant to the convention at Concord in June next."

In 1779, Edward Russell, Benjamin Noyes and Ephraim Foster were chosen selectmen. The meet- ing-house built in 1770 was probably a rude struc- ture. The inhabitants now began to feel the need of a better one. We now find them voting to build a meeting-house at the centre, and choosing a committee to find the centre, by measuring from where the line between Bow and Concord strikes Merrimack River to Dunbarton, near Samuel Welch's, where Alfred A. Elliot now lives ; then beginning at Bow and Dunbar- ton line, near Benjamin Noyes', and running to the outside of Solomon Heath's land. John Noyes was commissioned captain of the Eighth Company in the Thirteenth Regiment, March 17, 1779, by M. Weare. The Continental and State tax was £267 118. 6d .; school tax, £33 2s. 5d .; minister tax, £27 58. }d.,- total, £327 188. 11}d. Ephraim Foster and Leonard Harriman were appointed a committee to settle with the selectmen. "Voted to accept the Bill of Rights and Plan of Government established at Concord; 30 persons present, 18 voted yea, 3 nay." Joseph Rogers was chosen grand juror to Portsmouth.
