as over the swells of land on either side, as early as 1772, and as this portion of Nottingham was so far from what was then the center of business, the inhabitants began to agitate the propriety of being erected into a separate township. Accordingly, at the session of the General Court in 1773, a peti- tion was presented by the inhabitants for an act of incorporation, and this was granted, February 6, 1773, while John Wentworth was governor of the province, and George III was king of England. We do not know the exact number of the inhabitants of Northwood when erected into a separate parish or town, but two years later-that is, in 1775-the town numbered 313.

Benjamin Johnson was authorized to call the first meeting of the town for the choice of officers and the transaction of other business. Accordingly a meeting was notified "at the house of mister Volintine kinson," March 23, 1773, at which Benjamin Johnson was chosen moderator; Increase Batchel- der, clerk, and Benjamin Hill, Joseph Demerit, and Samuel Johnson, select- men ; Moses Godfrey was chosen constable, and the selectmen were instructed to settle with Nottingham matters growing out of the act of incorporation.

At this same meeting it was voted to raise six pounds lawful money to hire preaching, and seven pounds four shillings for schooling. Accordingly, we find that there was paid that year five pounds and one shilling and ten pence to Mr. Timothy Brown for preaching, and to Mary Walton for school- keeping, two pounds ten shillings, while there were "paid to Volintine ken- ston five shillings for geting a Pare of Shoes for Scole Dame." And the same year it is recorded that the selectmen "paid to the Scoll Dame twelve shillings:" while the following year there were paid three shillings to Joshua Furber "for caring the scool Dame home," and Betsey Sanborn and others are paid various sums "for scooling," and Nicholas Dudley is paid for preaching. The money raised for schooling was expended in five different places, since we find it divided into "Moreel's proportion," "Johnson's pro- portion," "Senter proportion," "Batchelder's proportion," and "Knolton's proportion."

The Revolution .- March 21, 1775, Benjamin Hill was appointed a dele- gate to the congress holden at Exeter, and the question was earnestly dis- cussed respecting their duty in the threatening aspect of affairs. The meet- ing was adjourned to April 22d, when it was voted "to be equipt at a moment's warning." A short time prior to this a convention of deputies had met at Exeter to consult on the state of affairs and appoint delegates for the next General Congress, to be holden on the 10th of May at Philadelphia. Major Sullivan and Captain Langdon, already great favorites of the people, were chosen, and the convention issued an address to the people, warning them of their danger, exhorting them "to union, peace, and harmony, fru- gality, industry, manufactures, and learning the military art, that they might be able, if necessary, to defend the country against invasion." Just at this time General Gage had destroyed the magazine at Concord, Mass., and sought to seize some of the prominent opposers of the objectionable acts of Parliament. Alarmed by this act of hostility, the people of New Hampshire and of the other colonies prepared themselves for war. Hence the action of Northwood, April 22d. At this same meeting it was also further "voted to list eight minit-men ; ** * that these men shall have one shillin and sixpense a week for exercising;" that these men "shall have five dollars a month, and the town find them there Vitling." And to show the spirit of

the men of that day it is recorded that "Volintears listed for this present distress," and these were "Samuel Johnson, William Woolis, Eliphalet Tay- lor, William Blake, Nathaniel Twombly, Benjamin Johnson, Jr., Simon Batchelder, and Abraham Batchelder." And only seven days later, "at a meeting notified by perticerly men for to chuse deputeys" to attend a con- vention called by Governor Wentworth, Benjamin Johnson and Sherburn Blake were chosen deputies, and Moses Godfrey was chosen "as a committy- man for to see if there is any powder for this parish," and "Increase Batch- elder is chosen to take care of this powder."

Northwood men signed the association test, but "Daniel Sawyer refuses to Sine, making plees that he is of a quaker Princabel."

Ecclesiastical .- Religious worship was first maintained in the east part of the town. There the first settlements were made. And these first settlers, if not decided Baptists, yet inclined not to sympathize with orthodox Con- gregationalism. From 1750 to 1790 there existed great uneasiness in the religious mind. Not a few were restive under what seemed staid Orthodoxy. The people generally reveled in unrestrained liberty, and this passion for liberty ran into extravagance. There was a wild prejudice against what had the least claim to antiquity, whether in doctrines or in customs. Hence new lights sprung up, wild and fanatical notions were entertained, and customs or modes of expression and worship came into vogue that strangely jarred and contrasted with the decorous and measured notions and customs of what was reproachfully termed the standing order. The great ancestor of the Batchelders was an eccentric man, though evidently of much ability. His descendants that came to this town, and those that affiliated with them, were good men, but their religious bias was against Congregationalism.

The first pastor was Rev. Edmund Pillsbury, who was ordained Novem- ber 17, 1779, and continued about twenty years. His successors have been as follows: Rev. Eliphalet Merrill, Elias Gregory, George W. Ashby, B. Knight, S. G. Gilbert, W. H. Jones, S. H. Smith, P. Favor, G. B. Chase, D. Taylor, J. E. Dame, A. S. Buzzell and L. A. Coony, the present pastor.

It appears that a church structure was erected for worship in 1772, some nine years after the first settlement was made, and was rebuilt in 1816, and dedicated August 4, 1817. Intervals of some years intervened between sev- eral of these pastorates. A tower has been erected upon the meeting house, furnished with a bell and clock.

Congregational Church .- This church was organized November 29, 1788, with the eight members: Solomon Bickford, Jonathan Blake, Simon Batch- elder, John Sherburne, and Elizabeth, his wife, Susan Clarke, Deborah Bick- ford, and Sarah Harvey.

The first pastor was Rev. Ebenezer Allen, who remained but a short time. Abisha Clark then supplied the pulpit for a limited period, and in 1799 Rev. Josiah Prentice was ordained pastor. He was dismissed May 10, 1842, hon- ored and beloved by all. He died October 28, 1855. The next regular pas- tor was Rev. E. C. Cogswell, who was ordained in November, 1842. Mr. Cogswell was dismissed in 1848, and was succeeded by Rev. Otis Holmes, who was installed January 1, 1850, and dismissed in 1857. He was followed by Rev. Henry C. Fay in 1858. He was dismissed in 1864. Mr. Cogswell is also the author of the "History of Nottingham, Deerfield, and North- wood," an excellent work, and an invaluable addition to the historic litera- ture of New England.

HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM COUNTY

Mr. Cogswell, who was dismissed from this church July 18, 1848, where he commenced his work the first Sabbath in July, 1842, immediately entered upon pastoral duties with the Congregational Church in Newmarket, where he remained until the summer of 1855, when he removed to New Boston, to which place he had been invited the previous year, and was there installed pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Having suffered much from over- taxed eyes, and with exhausted strength, he was dismissed in the autumn of 1865, and, by invitation, returned to Northwood immediately, to do what he might be able for the destitute church and people for one year, but whom he continued to supply as pastor until May, 1876, and during the last nine of those years was principal of Coe's Northwood Academy, in which many suc- cessful teachers have been trained, and numbers fitted for college.

After Mr. Cogswell the following ministers served: George F. Wright, one year, 1876; Ezra B. Pike, October, 1877, to April, 1880; Henry C. Fay, December, 1881 to May, 1885; F. L. Small, June, 1885, to April, 1890; Richard H. McGown, June, 1890, to June, 1892; Gilbert M. Hamilton, June, 1893, to October, 1895; Wm. A. Bushee, May, 1896, to September, 1900; Chas. E. Sumner, December, 1900, to June, 1901; Joseph H. Haskell, Sep- tember, 1901, to September, 1903; Hiram L. Kelsey, November, 1903, died July, 1906; Charles S. Young, January, 1907, to September, 1909; Wendell P. Elkins, January, 1910, to January, 1913; A. Herbert Armes, January, 1913, as pastoral supply, still acting in that capacity.

The first effort to erect a church edifice was in 1780, and it was probably completed soon after. In 1827 it was repaired and occupied until 1840, when a second house of worship was erected.

The Free-Will Baptist Church was organized June 4, 1833, in the Moun- tain schoolhouse, through the influence of Rev. Daniel P. Cilley, consisting of thirteen members, five males and eight females.

Some five years after the organization of the church, their meeting-house was erected on Clark's Hill, and provided with a bell. Pastors: S. P. Fer- nald, John Kimball, W. D. Johnson, Mark Atwood, W. D. Johnson, F. Moulton, S. P. Fernald, Horace Webber, R. D. Richardson, B. S. Manson, Edwin Manson, E. H. Prescott, James Rand, L. P. Bickford, G. W. Gould, H. P. Lamprey, C. L. Pinkham, R. L. Howard, F. E. Freesé, C. A. Bunker, F. E. Carver, and H. G. Corliss.

The Advent Church at Northwood Narrows dates practically from 1854, when Christians of that faith began to hold regular meetings in Union Hall, though its formal organization was not effected till September 14, 1881. Rev. John Parsons was regarded as pastor. He preached generally once a month for over thirty-five years. In 1896 Rev. J. A. Bryant was chosen his suc- cessor and he was followed by Rev. C. W. Dockum, Rev. Mr. Chase, and Elder Joseph Paquett.

Coe's Northwood Academy .- This academy was incorporated in Feb- ruary, 1866, and chartered by a special act of the State Legislature, June, 1867, as "Northwood Academy," but in June, 1875, the charter was so amended as that the institution should hereafter be known by the name of "Coe's Northwood Academy," in honor of Ebenezer Coe, Esq., for many years a highly respected merchant and Christian gentleman, whose heart and hand were ready to aid every good cause, and whose son, E. S. Coe, Esq., of Bangor, Me., has shown a lively interest in the town of his nativity, and in various ways has materially aided the academy.

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

Rev. Eliot C. Cogswell was principal from 1866 to 1882; during the six- teen years the academy had an average term attendance of sixty-three. He was followed by Ira E. Holt, G. W. Bingham, A. H. Armes, W. P. Kelley, Rev. S. G. Norcross, E. L. Blaine, F. L. Pattee, and Julius W. Brown. The present principal, Edwin H. Welch, commenced in 1899.

Commemorative services in appreciation of the character and services of the late Eben S. Coe were held on June 29, 1900, with addresses by Rev. H. L. Griffin of Bangor, Me .; Hon. G. W. Cate of Amesbury, Mass., and Prin- cipal Edwin K. Welch. Mr. Cogswell did not gain the cooperation of all the people in the support of his school. Many in the eastern part of the town were dissatisfied with its location and proceeded to establish another high school at the Ridge, under the name of the Northwood Seminary. The town which hitherto had been unable to start one high school, now had two flour- ishing academies. L. G. Williams, A. B., was principal for many years.

East Northwood .- Here the first settlement was made, the first school- house erected, the first church built, the first blacksmith shop opened, and the first store presented the attractive merchandise,-tobacco, salt fish, New Eng- land rum, and molasses being in excess.

Clark's Hill .- This locality was early chosen for a settlement, though no settlement was made until after families had improved their lands in the eastern and central portions, as well as the Narrows. This neighborhood was attractive because it overlooked the whole tract of land lying between it and the ocean, while from it an extended northerly view might be had.

The Center .- This part of the town was early settled. Here was built the Congregational meeting-house.

The Narrows .- Here was the second settlement made in the town, and immediately after that in the east part. Solomon Bickford was the hero of this region. He loved adventure, had a passion for hunting the fox and bear, was strong and tall, a sort of giant, yet mild and gentle, full of mirth, and running over with wonderful stories of things and events, delighting in making others amazed at what he told them.

Early Families .- Among the early families are mentioned those of Bart- lett, Batchelder, Bennett, Bickford, Blake, Brown, Buzall, Clark, Coe, Cogs- well, Crockett, Demeritt, Dow, Durgin, Furbur, Hanson, Harvey, Hill, Hoitt, James, Jenness, Johnson, Kelley, Kimball, Knowlton, Knowles, Lancaster, Mead, Morrison, Nealley, Norton, Pillsbury, Prentice, Prescott, Sherburne, Smith, Tasker, Tucker, Tuttle, Wiggin, Willey, and Wingate.

Revolutionary Soldiers .- This region was pretty well settled, and was called upon at all times during the whole war to furnish men, and the call was responded to promptly. We can give but the majority of men who served at this time.

So far as Cilley's regiment is concerned the list is nearly correct. The enlistment for that regiment while Cilley had the command, being the First New Hampshire Continental Regiment, commenced January 1, 1777, some of the men for three years, and others for a shorter term. Stark had com- manded the First New Hampshire up to January, 1777. He resigned in con- sequence of Colonel Poor's promotion over him. Then Cilley took command as colonel of this regiment.

Nottingham furnished Col. Joseph Cilley, afterwards General Cilley, whose biography is well known; Henry Dearborn, who rose to the rank of

North Hampton claimed Jonathan Morgan, James Harvey, and York. Captain Butler commanded a company in Colonel Thomas Bartlett's regi- ment.

After the battle of Bunker Hill, in which Capt. Henry Dearborn was engaged, he, in the fall of 1775, again commanded a company in Arnold's regiment, which marched to Quebec by the way of Kennebec River. He was there taken prisoner in the attack upon Quebec, when General Montgomery was slain. The following soldiers were enrolled in his company from Not- tingham, viz .: James Beverly, John P. Hilton, and Samuel Sias.

Also the names of Chase Page, James Robinson, John Abbott, Reuben Rand, Ezekiel Thurston, Robert Chase, Benjamin Towle, Nathaniel Batchelder, Josiah Batchelder, Jacob Morse, Daniel Mathes, Thomas Mat- thews, John Jewell. Most of the last named men were Continental soldiers, enrolled in Scammel's or Reid's regiment.

Captain Sanborn was wounded at Saratoga. He belonged to Deerfield. He was an officer in Colonel Evans' regiment. In his company were enrolled Joseph Hoit, Deerfield; John Chandler, Northwood; Jonathan Hawkins, Not- tingham; Joseph Langley, Nottingham; Benjamin Langley, Nottingham; John Robertson. We do not present here a perfect list of this company.

Northwood Soldiers .- William Wallace was first lieutenant in Capt. John Drew's company, of Barrington, in the regiment commanded by Colonel Hale, afterwards by Col. George Reid, of Derry, 1777. In July, 1776, he was first lieutenant in Capt. Joseph Chandler's company, Col. Isaac Wyman's regiment.

In other Continental regiments were enrolled Philip Fowler, John Har- vey, Benjamin Sanborn, Andrew Willey, John Knight, Samuel Trickey, John Bickford.

In addition to the above names, which were furnished by the Hon. George W. Nesmith for Mr. Cogswell's history, he adds the following names from Deerfield, the most of whom are known to have done service in the Revolu- tion. Joseph H. Seavey and Isaac Moore enlisted as three years' men.

forget to state the courtesies rendered by Peter Livias, the Tory councilor at Quebec, when Dearborn was made prisoner, and by Livias' influence was paroled and sent home, under the injunction to forward his wife and chil- dren to him from Portsmouth to Quebec.
