Just east of the house was a large rock which was blasted out and taken to Methuen as part of foundation of Me- thuen Co.'s mill.

He brought the first Baldwin apple tree into New Hamp- shire; scions were grafted onto a tree a short distance from the house. It bore excellent fruit until blown down, 1888.

Webster then bought of Clendenin. Cut, p. 320.

409. John C. Ewins' farm. He bought of John Russ, in 1820, but Ewins' family never lived on the place. Moses Aus- tin lived here before he moved to the Turnpike; he set out some apple trees, later called "Austin Sweets"-very fine; one tree still bears fruit. The old house was after- wards taken down and rebuilt at M 41. Oliver Russ once lived in the old house; then John Bodwell, who was here in 1835. On the land beyond was an old cellar, belong- ing to heirs of Samuel White.
410. Clinton Ewins. Built by Wm. B. Ayer, perhaps 1850. Later Richard Russ lived here.

423. Warren E. Bodwell. The Abner Bayley house. Built by him probably about 1750. At any rate, he bought , the land of Daniel Peaslee in 1755, and the deed said "whereon Bayley has recently erected buildings and now lives." We do not think it possible, as has been supposed, that the church was organized in this house, but rather in Daniel Peaslee's; "recently," in those days of newness could not have meant a period of fifteen years. Isaiah Kelly lived here after Bayley; then Nathan R. Bodwell. Cut, p. 85.
424. Mrs. L. J. Perkins. The old Dr. Morse place. The Morse house was burned before 1820, and no building was erected till 1875, when the present house was built. The barn, however, remained after the fire; Dr. Emerson used to keep his pair of white Arabian horses in it.
425. Warren Emerson place. Dr. Luther Emerson lived here. It is an old house.
426. Site of "Granny" Jones' little house. It stood among the boulders. She was wife of Wm. Jones, and daugh- ter of "Widow Harris." She kept a cow, hog and some turkeys here. "Bill" planted this whole lot. Later the town bought the land, and holds for cemetery purposes. The cut on p. 400 covers this and the woods at the rear. 427. Pine Grove Cemetery. Land bought of John Clendenin in 1850.

The house was a block house, heavily planked, for protection against the Indians. The women and children came here to stay nights in times of disturbance. The first parish meet- ing was held here January 16, 1736. It stood beside Old Spicket Path, which wound down the slope of the hill toward the old causeway bridge.

439. Frank D. Wilson. The old Richard Kimball homestead. The farm was bought by Aaron G. Wilson, the old house torn down and the present erected about 1845.

440. Capt. Edwin Beveridge. Built by Leonard Emerson, 1850. The old house which stood here was built by Abner, "King of the Wheelers." The street was called Wheeler Street, because of the number of this family settled here. When Leonard Emerson came here from Haverhill he bought the place. Prescott Emerson was born here; his brother, Leverett, inherited it. His heirs sold to Butler, he to E. S. Woodbury, he to Beveridge. Prescott Emerson. Tuttle Wheeler lived here.

488.
Site of the old gristmill. (Should be farther from the bridge on the map.) When it was built the partners could not agree as to whether it should be placed here or at the lower dam. It was finally put at the lower dam, although the dam here had been partially built and the millstones prepared. The appearance of the place has led to much romantic speculation regarding the his- tory of the mill. But there is some doubt whether it was ever built. The location, however, which is charming, is shown in the cut on page 292. The millstone will be noticed on the embankment; the other lies just below the ruins of the dam.
Shoeshop. Formerly operated by William Woodbury.
