The brook draining Sondogard pond was called Cohas, Cross and Philips in succession. This, as it descended to the Merrimack, fur- nished power for a sawmill erected close by the road (the Cross mills and shops were below) very early in the life of the town, which had either fallen into decay or been destroyed by fire. Mr. Davis built a new one, which was raised July 4, 1840, and furnished a long-remem- bered holiday, with plenty of liquid nourishment, as was the custom of the times. He was a millwright and carpenter and the mechanism was so perfect that his daughter often used to take his place as saw- yer. His flowage rights covered the time from Sept. 20 to May 20 of each year. This right, together with the mill, he sold in 1855 to Sam- uel Haines and Thomas Piper and removed to Concord.
But two of his seven children were born in N.

A few years later he built a new house, drawing all the materials, save frame boards and shingles, from Portsmouth with an ox team. They had two sons. Mr. Dear- born was 22 years old when the Revolutionary War broke out. His father, too old to go, brought his French musket, bright and in good order, and, putting it into his hands, told him to use it for his country and, should he live to return, to bring it back in good order. The son obeyed; went through the war and brought back the musket good as new. It later went into the service in 1812 in the hands of Benjamin Glines, the father of Mrs. Shubael Dearborn. (See Glines gen.) The gun came back and is now in the possession of Shubael Dearborn of Concord, 160 years after its capture.
