Among the proprietors' rights were Thomas Coch- ran, four rights of land where he lived, near the river (supposed Merrimack), fifty-one acres each, one hnn- dred and three acres, two rights including the Hooksett Falls ; Deacon Cochran, one right of land adjoining Thomas Cochran's land, thirty acres ; Farrington and Abbot, five rights where Abbott lives, seventy acres. This was one of the original settled places, called the Joshua Abbott place, near the head of Hooksett Falls, on the lot where the John Prescott place is now situated. In the year 1813 the selectmen of Dunbarton notified Robert Cochrane, a surveyor in what is now west village of Hooksett and outskirts, which composed Dunbarton, to give notice to the fol- lowing tax-payers of the amount of their highway tax : Robert Cochrane, Richard H. Ayer, Joshua Abbot, Philip Abbot, Henry Moulton, Captain John Hoyt, Lieutenant John Baker, Ensign Samuel Flanders, Luman Lincoln, Josiah Barnes, Sirus Baker, Abel Dow, Samuel Hosmer, Winthrop Knight, Samuel Martin, Luther Shattuck, William Otterson. The whole amount assessed was $65.15.

A valuable collection of papers that have been kept in good condition, that belonged to the Cochrane and Abbot families, the first settlers in above district, are interesting on account of their age and curiosity. An original deed as follows :

"PROVINCE OF NEW HAMP. : At the nouual meeting of the Proprietors of Bow, in said Province, held at Stratham, in said Province, on Tues- day, the 30th Day of May, 1769, By adjournment from the first Thurs- day in April last past, Voted to Thomas Cochran, his lleirsand assigns (for and in Consideration of Thirty-six Shillings, Lawful money, paid at the meeting), a small Island Lying at the mouth uf the Suncook River, in Bow, containing ono aere and Sixty-Six Rods, be it more or less.

The above papers, consisting of a boxfull, containing receipts, deeds, contracts and two or three copies, sys- tematically kept, of account-books, with dates from 1764 to 1800, are in the hands of the writer. They contain interesting references to our early settlers, which want of space will not allow us to publish.

The following documents, which were found in the New Hampshire State papers compiled by Hamond, relate to Hooksett anterior to the organization of the town.

HISTORY OF MERRIMACK COUNTY, NEW HAMPSHIRE.

In the mean time Dustin and Martin petitioned for a ferry about four miles below (now called Martin's Ferry), in Hooksett, as follows :

"To the Honerable, the Council and Assembly of the State of New Hampshire, now convened at Concord, in said State :

"We, the Petitioners, John Dustin & Daniel martin, of Chester, In the County of Rockingham, in said State, humbly Sheweth that your Peti- tioners has lived many years in Said Cbester, on the Bank of Merrimack River, Io such a situation for keeping a Ferry as is Very convenient to accomodate a great Number of the Inhabitants of Goffstown, Dunbarton and of many other towns above who have Occasion to travil to the Lower Part of this and the massachusetts State, that highways have been Laid out by the town, Joining on both sides of the River to said Place, and well made and Repaired, and that Your Petitioners has been at a con- siderable Expence In building and maintaining of boats and giving con- stant attendence to Ferry People across for more than sixteen years when the profits was Very Ioconsiderable and In No wise Equal to the Expense, and that there is now Considerable travilling and dayly in- creasing, Being found to be Very advantageous to the Public, and that your Petitioners suspects that a petition will be prefered to your Honors for a Licence to Keepa Ferry on said River, about two or three miles up said River, from where your petitioners Keeps their ferry (where there is no Road Laid out on neither side of the River to the place), with an Intent to prevent your petitioners from any profit by their ferry, where- fore your petitioners humbly prays that you would grant them a License to Keep a Ferry where they now Does, and that if a petition shall be prefered, as suspected, that you would Dismiss the same or appoint a Com- mittee In the vicinity to view the place proposed for a ferry with the place for Roads on both sides of the river, as well as your petitioners' ferry and the Roads leading to and from the Same, and make Report that your petitioners may have an opportunity of appearing on Any future day you may appoint to show cause, and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

"Chester, June 14th, 1782."

" JOHN DUSTIN. " DANIEL MARTIN.

In the House of Representatives, November 19, 1782, a committee having viewed the premises, re- ported in favor of establishing the ferry asked for by Dustin and Martin instead of the one asked for by Abbott, et als. A vote giving leave in accordance therewith passed the Assembly. The locality is still called Martin's Ferry.

The following is a copy of the McGregore and Dun- cau petition for the exclusive privilege of locking Hooksett Falls, 1794 :

" To the Hon' the Senate and house of Representatives for the State of New Hampshire, convened at Exeter on wednesday, the 25th of Dec., 1793. Humbly shew your petitioners that they conceive the advantages arising from canals opened round the falls of Riversin a Country of such vast extent as ours, and at a great distance from the Sea ports, to be almost innumerable ; that the enterprise and public spirit of the present age have afforded ample proof of this and have inspired your petitioners with an intention of commencing a work of such universal utility ; That, should the River merrimack, as is projected, be made navigable for boats, timber, etc., froor its mouth round Amoskeag Falls, the henev- olent intention of the legislature would be rendered quite nseless unless a canal was also cut for that purpose by Isle a hooksett Falls, upon the said river, and above the said Falls of Amoskeag. Your petitioners are sensible that undertaking of this nature is hazardous and expensive, and attended with almost insurmountable difficulties. But that the public may be ac- comodated with a work of such obvious utility, your petitioners have re- solved, with the encouragement of the legislature, to cut and perfect a canal round the said Isle a booksett falls with all possible diligence. They therefore pray that this honerable body would grant to them the exclusive privilege of cutting a canal round said Isle a hooksett falls for said convenient purpose of navigating boate, timber, etc., by said falle with safety and dispatch, and that they would allow them such reasonable toll to compensate their trouble and expence as they think proper, and that they may have leave to bring in a bill accordingly, and, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

"Exeter, January 1st, 1794."

" ROBEAT MCGREGORE. " WILLIAM DUNCAN.

In the House of Representatives, January 4, 1794, the petitioners were granted leave to bring in a bill. Subsequently the privilege asked for was granted, and the same was extended in 1797. This canal, or "locks," as it was sometimes called, was a very im- portant enterprise in those times. It facilitated mer- chantable traffic between the people above and the country below. They were kept in general use until about 1840, when the railroads commenced to be built into the central part of New Hampshire. Hooksett Falls, since the earliest settlements along the river, have been considered important. They have also been dangerous to boatmen who plied the river in the capacity as common carriers. The chan- nel and ragged rocks through which the water flows was deceitful and very precipitous. About fifteen lives have been lost on these falls. One of the saddest ac- cidents that ever occurred on the falls was about the year 1840. Three children, the oldest about ten years, in the temporary absence of their mother, wandered to the head of the falls, finding an unlocked boat, and while innocently playing in the same, the boat was cast upon the waters and floated into the stream and went over the falls. They were all three lost. These children belonged to Milo L. Whitney, lately deceased. The annual "drive" of logs, which at the present time is not so large, sometimes receives a se- rious "set back " at these falls. Huge jams have oc- curred, when it would take weeks to get them off. Quite a number of log-drivers have been killed and drowned while working on them. The descent of the water is about eighteen feet in a distance of thirty rods. They afford excellent facilities for additional manufacturing. Only about two-tenths of the power is at present utilized. The Concord Railroad built, about the year 1868, three spans of bridges over the falls to the east side of the river. This gives to the occupants of the cars a grand, romantic view.

In the year of 1799 an attempt to have the upper end of the town of Chester annexed to Pembroke was made through a petition of Nathaniel Head and others, on account of long distance from church and town business privileges. In 1818 a petition was presented to the legal voters in the north part of Chester and the east part of Dunbarton and Allens- town, but was not acted upon. In the year of 1818, Henry Moulton and thirty others of Dunbarton petitioned the Legislature for a new town. In the year of 1821, Samuel Head and thirty-two others presented a petition ; also Nathaniel Head and seven- ty-two others, inhabitants of Chester, Dunbarton and the easterly part of Goffstown. These petitions, so strongly representing the inhabitants of the above locality, were presented to the General Court. The committee on the part of the House reported to postpone action until the next session, and the report was accepted.

It was voted by the House of Representatives, at this session, 1821, "That the petitioners be heard on

HOOKSETT.

their petition before the standing committee on in- corporations on the first Tuesday of the next session of the Legislature, and that the petitioners cause the selectmen of the towns of Chester, Goffstown and Dunbarton to be notified of the substance of the peti- tion, etc." At the next spring meeting the towns of Dunbarton and Chester voted to grant the favor, and Goffstown voted to remonstrate, by a majority of one hundred and ten legal votes against twenty-two in fa- vor. The seleetmen accordingly sent in a remon- stranee in long detail. Caleb Austin, Caleh Her- sey and Daniel Straw, of Dunbarton, put in a remon- stance. Their principal reason was that the river running through the town would he a great inconve- nienee, and that it would derange school districts. Hugh J. Taggart and Andrew MeIntire, of Goffs- town, also sent in a remonstrance, voieing, in the main, the same objections that those from Dunbarton gave. On June 20, 1822, the standing committee on incorporations, after hearing all the parties interested, reported favorably to the project, and that the peti- tioners have leave to bring in a bill. The following is the copy of the original hill, as passed by the legis- lature, -.

"To the Hou. the Senate and the House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire, in General Court convened, Humbly ebew- The petition of the undersigned that they are inhabitants of the north - westerly part of the town of Chester, in the County of Rockingham and the easterly part of Dunbarton, and tho easterly part of Goffstown, in the County of Hillsborough, that their places of residence are at the distances of from ten to sixteen miles from the places established for the transaction of town business and for holding public worship in said towns. By reason whereof they are in a measure deprived of the con- mon rights and privileges enjoyed generally by the good citizens of this State. They therefore pray the legislature, in their goodness, to relieve them of the inconveniences to which they are now subjected by grenting an act incorporating all the lande and inhabitants of said Ches- ter, Dunbarton and Goffstown hereinafter described to wit : beginning northerly and northwesterly of a line drawn from the northeasterly corner of Manchester, in the County of Hillsborough, across said Chester, in such course as may he thought most proper, to the southwesterly cor- ner of the town of Candia: thence hy Candia line to Allenstown line ; thonce by Allenstown line to Merrimack river ; thence across the Merri- mac river to the southeasterly corner of Bow ; thence hy Bow line to the southerly corner of said Bow ; thence running a line due south until it strikes Goffstown line; thence through Goffstown southeasterly till

We see, by producing the names of the signers of the above petition, who the principal residents were at the time the town was incorporated. It contained all the principal real estate owners, with the excep- tion of a few living in these parts who would not be di- rectly benefited. In the southeast part of the town a few inhabitants were indifferent to the matter, as they were, perhaps, as near Chester proper as they would be at Hooksett village. Hooksett village, as origi- nally located, was almost to the extreme limit in the northwest part of the town, which, fortunately, ac- commodated the major part of the population, and since the formation of the town, people in the remote sections have quite a distance to travel to do town business. For post-office accommodations and com- mercial transactions the people living contiguous to Manchester patronize that city. In the year of 1823 the following persons, residents in town, were assessed for taxes. It was the first inventory taken, and will show the complete family record in the whole town at that time, --
