Archeles owned land on the Fourth Range, which he exchanged for 100-acre lot elsewhere when the main road to Canterbury was pened. He had 12 children.
JOSIAH MILES, JE, was the first clerk of N. and held the office eight ears.
ABNER MILES owned land on Bean Hill, which he sold to Reuben Kim- all in 1776, as the deed says, and Samuel bought and sold land from ots 29 and 63 in 1780 to Robert Ambrose for £1,000. March 13, 1780, e bought the 100-acre lot, originally No. 63, and sold it next day, [arch 14, for £675.
These lands were the Demore Wyatt and Ambrose Woodbury farms, nd also the farm now owned by Mrs. Smith Glines. Just what became [ the Mileses I cannot say, but there is a deed showing that Richard ackson of Tamworth sold to Josiah Miles a tract of land on Bear amp River, with buildings and all improvements, for £50. This ccurred in the 12th year of his majesty's reign and was dated Sept. 7, 772.
SAMUEL MILES moved from the north fields to Canterbury and assisted osiah Miles on his farm two summers. He was there the year that ornwallis surrendered. Elizabeth Miles Dolloff's first husband, Phin- Ls Fletcher, was at Yorktown. He returned home immediately and , after eight months' service, having "enlisted the last of April or the rst of May."

HISTORY OF NORTHFIELD.
MOLONY. ·
JOHN. MOLONY, b. 1773, came to N. from Salem, Mam. He was first taxed here in 1796. The carly deeds speak of him as "John Molony Mariner.". Others of his family, perhaps his parents, came soon after and lived on the Chase Wyatt place in East N ..

The contract for building it is still in existence and is in part given elsewhere. It was originally three stories high but was un- roofed by the gale of Sept., 1815, and one story was removed. He had a store at the foot of the hill, where, among other articles of trafile, "votes" for future delivery were always legal tender for rum and to- bacco, as the "squire" always had some coveted public office in eight. He became deputy sheriff and made quite a reputation and money, too, in "staying writa." He was a keen, far-seeing man, with much business ability, and was sent to represent the town in the Legislatures of 1813, 1814 and 1817, although his morals were not quite up to the Puritanic standard. Mrs. Molony removed with her children to Bel- videre, Ill., where she d. in 1848. He was buried by the present town hall. In 1821 his tax was larger by far than that of any other man in town.

MOONEY I.
JOHN MOONEY came to N. from Loudon in 1833. He bought the home of Dr. Enos Hoyt, who was then postmaster, and the office was turned over to him, he holding it with various assistants until the business was removed to Sanbornton Bridge. He was a man of means and, as there were no banks, he became a professional money-lender. He was scrupulously exact to a penny, although his terms were often more to his own advantage than to his creditors. He farmed in a small way and was agent for several insurance companies. When the B., C. & M. R. R. was being built, he solicited funds, taking stock for his services.
They lived in a quiet, unostentatious way and at his death, April 5, 1878, left an estate of $75,000. Among other bequests, there was a considerable sum for charitable purposes. His wife, Susan Chase of Loudon, d. April 29, 1866. He remained for a while in the home, going later to reside with his son-in-law in Nashua.
