an inconvenient distance from the First meeting-house, as Anally located. the first minister, Mr. Woodman, exchanged a greater part of it with Esq. Harper for the field which he ocenpied, originally James Sanborn's, north end of No. 14 (see) ; hence the so-called " Minister Lots" belonging to this number, now attached to A. M. Baker's farm, on the cast (James Chesley's, 1882). Site : 1. WILLIAM HAYES HOUSE; last occupied by Sammel Harper.
Lor No. 77. PARSONAGE LOT. (See last. ) April 28, 1506, a committee of the town leased twenty-eight acres to Benjamin Colby for nine hundred and uinety-nine years! Also, Joseph W. Clement, in behalf of town, deeded (leased) twenty-five and three fourths acres southwest corner (including the original Square) to J. B. and Chase Perkins, for $313.63, May 2, 1829. These were two of the "fourths " into which this lot was divided, by order of the town, and sold or leased (as above), because the lot was " trespassed upon for wood "! The first named (northwest quarter) was afterwards owned by Rev. Mr. Crockett and Jonathan Smart. The southeast quarter was the Moore pasture; now owned by JJason R. Hankins. The northeast corner was owned by Ebenezer Gove; hence Site 1. GOVE HousE; last occupied by Perry Colby.
Lor No. 78. AARON ROLLINS (ROLINS), G., of Exeter. Abijah Sanborn was the first occupant, whose wife here treed the bear! but he had sold it to Dr. Ilugh March, prior to Nov. 20, 1779, as the latter then deeded to Moses and Judith March of Newburyport, one hundred and five acres, "between Lots 79 and 77 ye original right of Aaron Rawlings, which I bought of Abijah Sanborn." Moses March soon sold, and went to the Calef llill. Nathan Smith and Ebenezer Colby were the subsequent, and Col. Daniel Sanborn (heirs) and Perry Colby are the present owners.
LOT NO. 79. JOHN TOMLINSON, EsQ. (See Lot C9.) By mistake on the table, "Joth." Angust, 1778, four acres southwest corner struck off to Dr. Hugh March for #1 11s., taxes. Fifty acres north end conveyed by Jonathan Gove to Phinchas Dearborn, for $510, Feb. 10, 1806. Ephraim Fogg, and after- wards his son Nathan T., were the earliest occupants of the south end ; next, ouc Barker, whose mime is given to the brook; then Trueworthy Phitbrook, tanner, who built the dam for his bark mill; and finally, John Hunkins, Isze- 1877. Site : 1. BARK MILL .; moved to Lot No. 81, B. H. Burleigh's.
LOT NO. 80. JONATHAN LONGFELLOW (LONGFELO), G., of Exeter. Stephen Clement of Amesbury, Mass., had previously bought of Thomas Jenuins Rand the westerly half, and deeded it to Robert Hunkins of Haverhill, Mass., first occupant, Oct. 28, 1782, for £60. Ebenezer Colby was the first owner, who occupied the east half, deeding southeast quarter to Robert lunikins, June 1, 1799, for $300 ; and northeast quarter to " Left. Nathaniel Grant," from whom, through Harriet G. Kentfield and James M. Burley, it also came to the Hunkins estate, March 30, 1833. G. W. Thinkins will probably prove to have been the last owner of that name (house since burned, 1882). Sites : 1. EBENEZER COLBY HOUSE. 2. HUNKINS HOUSE. 3. Moses CARR HOUSE.
Lor No. 81. JOHN ROMANS, G., of Exeter. The old Lieut. Grant farm (now Barnard 11. Burleigh's) and the Dole Pearsons farm (afterwards the Hunt place; now John Y. Sanborn's) take up the most of this lot. Sites: 1. JOHN PEARSONS HOUSE. 2. DOLE or JONATHAN PEARSONS HOUSE.

ut dest ; but instead of it, a long, irregular strip of land of only fifty-one acres, south of Lots 26 and 97, and bordering upon the Bay, nt Rowen's Point, above Union Brlige. This was manifestly felt to be unjust to the grantee ; and hence a strip twenty-five rous wide was assigned " for Lot No. 82 in First Division of lots, which is the only addition made in Flest Division out of the common land at the head of the town "! The lot is thus in a range with Second Division lots ; but is bleutitled by the following, as confirming our copy of the original plan of the town : "Andrew Rowu (his mark), to his sous Heury and Joseph R., forty-eight acres of land (being all of Lot No. 82, First Divi- ion, except three acres I sold to Jonathan Thomas), for 8500, Dec. 15, 150g." Shes : 1. Rowes House. 2. BENJAMIN PHILBRICK HOUSE.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE SECOND DIVISION OF LOTS.
This consists of three ranges north of the First Division, and two ranges south. The first range is about one mile and forty rods in breadth, - making this the length of each single lot, - consisting of twenty lots, running west from the Pemigewasset River to the Great Bay. The second and third ranges are each one and one half miles wide, or thereabouts : the second, likewise consisting of twenty lots, just north of the first, and running in the reverse direction from east to west ; and the third, for some nnaccountable reason beginning also at the east, on the Meredith town line, and running west to the river, containing seventeen lots, and ending at the northwest corner of the town. Then No. 58 commences at the Bay, near Union Bridge, and south of the First Division, running west thirteen lots to the site of the present Franklin Falls village, the width of the range (length of the lots) being about one mile ; and finally, the fifth range - some- times called the first, because the most sontherly range in the okl township - extends from west to cast, south of the fourth, compris- ing the twelve lots required to make up the original unmber in the First Division, - viz., eighty-two. The lots of this last range are irregular, and some of them curtailed in size, as they all end upon the Winnipiscogre River. For this reason, and because they were all at first considered of much less value than those nearer the centre, they each, together with No. 57, had additional land assigned to them in other parts of the town, as will appear under each mmuber. This Second Division of lots was surveyed two years later than the first, or in 1752, the design being to divide the whole of the remaining and available portions of the town into the same number of shares (eighty- two), with the lots proportionally larger, as being less valuable than those of the First Division. In giving a similar record of the lots in this Second Division, the names of the grantees or drawers will not

be repeated ; but reference will be made to each First Division lot which was drawn with each of these, where the names will be found. (See also Tables, pp. 33 and -10.)

LOT NO. 8 (No. 30, First Division). The David Taylor (now Bickford) place on the north, and Jonathan S. Taylor (formerly Rogers) place ou the south, take up most of this lot, with parts of the Jonathan (now Andrew J. ) Taylor and Chase (now Perley) farms. John A. Harper deeded twenty-two acres of pasture and field to Rev. J. Crockett, May 31, 1810 (now the Harper lot of Jonathan S. Taylor). Sites : 1. MARK SMITH HOUSE. 2. TUDOR GAALE HOUSE. 3. Winow RocEns (afterwards CATE) HOUSE. 4. WARREN STEW- ART HOUSE. 5. CHASE ILOUSK.

Taylor's, near what is now-designated as one of the earliest graves in town; also one or more fami- lies by the name of fill lived farther north, near what is now the handsomest elm-tree in town, a road being then opened to their houses on the west side line.

both in error in placing this and No. 12 (parsonage) north and east of their corresponding First Division lots, Nos. 76 and 77. They should be north and west, and are thus represented on the map of the town accompanying this volume. It is well known that the "minister great lot" (No. 11) extends to the old road, from the Leavitt ( Colby) place to Clark's Corner, as its West side line; and that the original " minister First Division lot" (No. 76) only joins upon its eastern section (to the south), and extends farther eastward, overlapping the parsonage Second Division lot (No. 12), which holds a similar relation to No. 77, First Division. Much of this lot (No. 11) has remained as pasture and woodland, except improvements ou the southwest corner (Leavitt place and Woodman upper house), and the northwest section (including Clark's Corner) ; also on the Bickford place. Charles Woodman, Esq., of the first minister's family, owned the middle portion as lately as 1822, from which a large amount of wood was soon after eut (south of the Bickford place) for the Franklin market. Sites: 1. WOODMAN UPPER HOUSE; variously rented. 2. TRUEWORTHY SMITH HOUSE. 3. BICKFORD HOUSE; lately abandoned.
Lor No. 12 (No. 77, First Division). Eighty-first on the table, being, like the last, previously designated (not drawn) for the " parsonage Second Division lot." A portion of its north end must have been early sold off to constitute the original Eastman (now French) farm. At its southern extremity is an eminence much visited by all lovers of fine scenery, being near the geographi- cal centre of New Hampshire, and affording one of the grandest panoramas of mountain and lake views to be fond within the limits of the State, at no greater altitude. Peynawket, the Kiarsarge of the North, bounds the north- eastern horizon, and the Grand Monadnock the southwestern. (See pp. 8 and 9.) A United States Coast Survey and State triangulation " signal " was here erected in 1874. Surface of the lot much broken. Site: 1. JONATHAN SMART HOUSE.
Lor No. 13 (No. 25, First Division). The north end was settled by William Taylor, son of the grantee, Major Chase T. (late Giles place) ; south end by his son Jeremiah, who sold to John Sanborn (of the " Dote " family) ; and he to Samuel Hersey, by whom and his son Sammuel S. longest owned. John Phil- briek the subsequent, and Jabez L. Greeuleaf the present ocenpant. Sites : 1. WILLIAM TAYLOR HOUSE. 2. CHASE TAYLOR HOUSE.
LOT No. 14 (No. 43, First Division). The Ensign Colby farm, with a large aud flourishing orchard, oeenpied the southwest corner. The remainder has ever continued in a rough, uncultivated condition, largely pasturage. Site : 1. ENsiaN COLBY House; L part occupied by him till his death; now in ruins (wholly disappeared, 1881).
Lor No. 15 (No. 47, First Division). Joseph Philbrick and one Shaw were early veenpants of the south end, - the former succeeded by James Hobbs ; and George Patterson present owner (heirs, 1882). James M. Burleigh decided thirty-five acres of pasture, southwest corner, to Chase and T. W. Perkins, for $446, Dee. 21, 1838; also Samuel C. Tolman to Win. S. Dearborn, thirty acres wood and pasture, north of last, Dec. 1, 1843. J. T. G. and N. Sanborn how own a pasture at the north end; 1I. Q. Dalton and Win. Burleigh other portions. Edward Mason very early commenced a settlement on the side of Ilopkinson Hill, forty rods from the top; hence Sites : 1. EDWARD MASON IlousE. 2. SHAW HOUSE.

Lor No. 17 (No. 45, First Division). John Folsom made lily Arst settle- ment on the upper end of this lot, as Harrlet C. Smith deeded to Charles S. Smith twenty-three acres, - the so-called Folsom pasture, - April 15, 1854 (now owned by Barnard I[. Smith) ; also the Wallls pasture is probably part of the same lot. Site : 1. JonN FonsoM House; original.
Lor No. 18 (No. 44, First Division). First settled by Ellsha Smith, Sen., son of the grantee, near the willow-tree which he planted. (See Gen., Vol. II. p. 716 [19].) He located his son Elisha, Jr., on his homestead, deeding to the same one hundred and eighty acres, for £5 (nominal price), July 6, 1791; and his son Benjamin near the south end of this lot, where now T. J. Cate, blacksmith, residles. The Second Baptist meeting-house originally stood exactly on the northeast corner ; and fifteen acres were sold by Zebulon Smith, Jr., for the Baptist parsonage, Sept. 20, 1825. Portions of this lot have been in the hands of some one or more of the descendants of the first proprietor till within a very few years. Sites : 1. CAPr. ELISHA SMITH's CLOCK FACTORY. 2. WILLIAM ROBINSON HOUSE; moved to 2, Lot No. 21. 3. BADGER HOUSE; moved to 6, No. 21.
Lor No. 19 (No. 49, First Division). Josiah Sanborn, son of grantee, was first owner of the whole lot ("extending north to the Bay meeting-house"), of which he settled one hundred and twenty-three acres, south end, including his homestead, upon his son William (now owned by Smith Neal) ; eighty acres upon his son Josiah (where now Jonathan and George N. Sanborn, of another family ) ; forty acres upon his son David (where now Benjamin Smith) ; and forty acres upon his son Simon (now John B. Huse's; formerly Josiah Folsom's). Sites : 1. PHINEHAS SANBORN HOUSE; moved to foot of hill, east, 1846, by Andrew W. Sanborn.
Lor No. 20 (No. 52, First Division). When this, as the school lot No. 2, was divided for the benefit of the town, und vendued, Ang. 14, 1793, there were seven fifty-aere parcels, now constituting four distinct farms. John Johnson, Jr., tirst occupied the most southerly but one, No. 2 (bidding $301 for a lease of nine hundred and ninety-nine years) ; now chiefly in the hands of his grandson Charles O. J. Jacob N. Knapp, the "stripling school teacher," bid off the central (No. 4), and one of the best, for his father, for $351; now owned by Moses Leighton. No. 5 was " struck off to Jonathan Cate at 8352"; No. 6 to l'eter G. Tilton for $352 (and the next day deeded by him to Moses Leavitt for the same sum) ; and No. 7 to Caleb M. Sanborn at $226. These three last fifty-acre lots constitute the present farms of T. J. Sanborn's heirs, previously owned by Mr. Moore, and then for many years by John Doe, Esq .; and also of John Sanborn's heirs ("Joiner"), previously owned by Samuel Crockett ; and the north end by Mr. Brown and Caleb Sanders. No. 1 (south- ern extremity) was struck off to William Durgin for $226, who also mort- gaged his farm for young Knapp's purchase, as the latter was boarding with him at that time. (See Schools, p. 116.) No. 3 was retained in possession of the town for some years after. Sites : 1. COLLAMER SMITH House; moved to Laconia, 1860. 2. JAMES CROCKETT OF SAMUEL DOE HOUSE. 3.
