wards lived. This parsonage farm was located just north of Rockingham Junction, east of the main road from Newfields to Newmarket, which was the homestead of Rev. John Moody during his life in Newmarket, and given in his Will, dated 1778, to John Moody Smith, his namesake. The "parson- age," a fine, substantial, dignified colonial mansion, was probably built soon after Mr. Moody's settlement over the first church, in 1728, and is still stand- ing in good condition, and deserves to be carefully preserved because of its association with the history of the town. Gen. Hill added to this estate land adjoining bought of Valentine Hill, Richard Perkins, and his sister, Ann (Perkins) Brackett, Eliphalet Mighels and others, till he had a farm reaching from the County road to the shore of Great Bay.
