J. Wentworth. [L.S.]
Agreeably to the foregoing charter, the inhabitants, being duly notified, met on the twenty-eighth day of September, 1770, and made choice of the following officers: Mr. James Lucas, mod- erator ; Mr. Jotham Rindge, town clerk; Captain Thomas Lucas, John Sinkler, and Jacob Sceggel, selectmen; Thomas Taylor, constable; Benjamin Blake, Samuel Tebbetts, Aaron Frost, and Benjamin Folsom, surveyors.
At the annual town-meeting held at John Sinkler's on the twenty-fifth day of March, 1771, Thomas Lucas was elected mod- erator ; John Flagg, town clerk; Thomas Lucas, Jacob Sceggel, and John Sinkler, selectmen ; Ithiel Clifford, constable ; Benjamin

Folsom and Samuel Tebbetts, surveyors; Benjamin Folsom and Thomas Piper, fence-viewers ; Benjamin Folsom and Thomas Piper, hog-reeves. It was voted to build a pound on Samuel Tebbetts' lot; the same to be twenty feet square and seven feet high .. This pound was built by Andrew Wiggin, Jr., for twelve shillings, he having made the lowest bid for the contract. Samuel Tebbetts was chosen pound-keeper, to which office he was re- elected for several successive years.
In 1772 the town officers elected were Thomas Lucas, mod- erator ; John Flagg, town clerk; John Flagg, Benjamin Folsom, Ithiel Clifford, selectmen; Andrew Wiggin, constable ; Thomas Lucas, Ithiel Clifford, Jacob Sceggel, surveyors; Joseph Lary, Benjamin Folsom, James Lucas, Jr., hog-reeves ; Thomas Piper, Jacob Sceggel, fence-viewers.
It is probable that some time during the year John Flagg left Wolfeborough, as at the annual election in 1773, John Sinkler, who was very illiterate, became town clerk; otherwise, Flagg, who possessed good business qualifications, would evidently have retained the office. He was a large landholder, possessing four hundred acres in the westerly part of the town, in which he held an interest until 1779.
Here follows a copy of the record of the annual town-meeting of 1773, verbatim et literatim :-

The lack of an education on the part of Mr. Sinkler (or Sin- clair, as the name is now more generally written) did not debar him from occupying various important positions in town affairs. During the following civil year Matthew Parker became a citizen of the town, and at the annual election of 1774 was chosen town clerk.
The first legal instrument issued by the town authorities now extant was a highway surveyor's warrant. Here is a copy of it :-
"Province of Newhampshire County of Starford.

Benj. Folsom,
Thomas Taylor, Selectment." James Connor,
The above examples of illiteracy are not inserted as a reproach on the early settlers of Wolfeborough ; nor is it to be presumed that the lack of education rendered them deficient in mental caliber. Among them were to be found persons of sound judg- ment and business tact that would put to the blush some tutored smatterers of the present day. Learning is good, but wisdom is better.
Certain officers,-such as fence-viewers, field-drivers, pound- keepers, and hog-reeves-were of more relative importance with the early inhabitants of the town than they are now. Domestic animals-such as horses, neat cattle, sheep, swine, and geese- were allowed to run at large in the highway, and careful viligance was necessary to protect the growing crops.
When the services of the fence-viewer were demanded, it was his province to examine and determine if fences, whether lining the highway or dividing estates, were, either as to height or strength, in such a condition as the statutory laws required. If thereafter any person whose fences had received official approval should find domestic animals of the kinds already referred to within his enclosures, he could direct the field-driver to take such animals to the pound and commit them to the custody of the pound-keeper, there to remain under certain rules until their owner should settle the fee of impoundage and adjust the matter of damages with the person impounding.
Swine running at large were required to be yoked and rung. The yoke was made of wood, and so adjusted to the neck of the animal as to prevent it passing through holes in the fences. It
I36
HISTORY OF WOLFEBOROUGH.
was rung in the following manner : a wire was thrust through the cartilage of the snout, and the ends twisted together. This pre- vented rooting.
In after years, when swine were not allowed to run at large, and hog-reeves were not necessary officers, it became the practice to elect to the office every man who had been married within the year, and at each annual town-meeting a row of amorous bene- dicts were paraded before the moderator to receive the oath of office. This election occurring near the close of the balloting, had a tendency to lessen the asperities that might have arisen in the heated conflicts preceding it, the accompanying pleasant badinage producing mutual good humor.
Since the settlement of Wolfeborough there have been four pounds built in the town. The first was constructed of logs, on land belonging to Samuel Tebbetts, in 1771. It was twenty feet square and seven feet high. In 1799 a pound thirty feet square was built on the town meeting-house lot. It was constructed of stone with a cap timber one foot square. Joseph Piper built it for fourteen dollars. In 1814 two pounds were built. One was on the heath portion of the mill lot, nearly opposite the Harmony Grove Creamery. The land for this was deeded to the town by William and Joseph Kent and Cutter & Sewall, who were at that time proprietors of the mill property, the consideration being eight dollars. This lot was forty feet square and situated on the easterly side of the road. The pound was thirty feet square, and was surrounded by stone walls three feet thick at the bottom and two feet thick at the top. These walls were faced on the in- side, also on the outside next the street, and were capped with a timber one foot in diameter. The pound had a door with a sub- stantial lock, and was built by Paul H. Varney for twenty-five dollars. It does not now exist, the walls having been removed. A pine tree, which stood within it, has also disappeared, the stump only remaining. A similar pound was built the same year on land purchased of Dudley Hardy and Richard Bickford
BREWSTER MEMORIAL HALL
I37

for four dollars. It was thirty-six feet square, and was built by Mark Wiggin for twenty-four dollars. This pound still stands.
The constable ranked next to the selectman as a town officer. As the executive of the statue law, his services were then relative- ly in greater requisition than now. By virtue of his office he was collector of taxes.
Previous to the incorporation of the town the roads in Wolfe- borough were opened and constructed by the town proprietors at their own expense. After that, the care of them devolved upon the inhabitants. All roads required frequent repairing, and there were frequent demands for the opening of new ones: hence the duties of the highway surveyors were onerous and exacting, as they were not only to collect and apply the labor taxes, but in some instances to lay out new roads. Perhaps this latter duty was not to be performed, except when it had been imposed by a vote of the town.
The tithing-man was the holder of an office transmitted by the Puritans. It was his duty to preserve order in religious meetings and secure a proper observance of the Sabbath. It was an office little needed in Wolfeborough, as the early settlers had very few religious meetings, and the inducements to sporting were certainly not many. It is to be hoped that their early training would deter them from performing unnecessary labor on the Sabbath. However, sober and discreet citizens were elected to the office, and it is presumed that the inhabitants generally deported them- selves as became an orderly and quiet population.
The official duties of the deer-keeper are not known. Perhaps it was his business to prevent such a wasteful slaughter of the ani- mal as would hinder its propagation, and thereby' lessen the sup- ply of game food.
It seems that jurors were elective officers, Jacob Sceggel being elected in 1773, and re-elected in 1774; Reuben Libbey, in 1775; Isaiah Horne, in 1781.
In the charter of Wolfeborough provision was made for hold-
I38

ing a fair, which was to be "kept on the first Tuesday following the twenty-first day of September, annually." There is no manu- script evidence that such a fair was ever held, but tradition says there was. Its headquarters were at Sinkler's two-roomed tavern, and its race-ground was that portion of the Miles Road that fronted on the farm now occupied by Benjamin Webster. It is not improbable that previous to 1776 there were some public gatherings at this place, but they were necessarily small. After that period institutions established under the patronage of officers of the British government would not be in high favor, nor could the people afford much time or money for recreation.
Probably as early as 1772 the College and Pequaket Roads could be used as horse-paths, and those persons residing in Con- way, Sandwich, Moultonborough, and Tuftonborough could reach Wolfeborough without much difficulty. There were no roads leading south to the more thickly settled towns except the one from the Wentworth Farm through Middleton. The inhabitants of New Durham and vicinity would be compelled to depend on the forest paths marked by blazed trees. Gilmanton people could cross Lake Winnipesaukee in boats. The amusements were horse and foot races, wrestling, pitching quoits, dancing, playing cards, and to a small extent, exchanging equines. The gather- ings, though small, were said to be spirited.

A T no period in the early history of Wolfeborougli had the town so encouraging an outlook as in 1774. Only six years had elapsed since it was a wilderness without a single inhabitant. Now there were probably within its borders thirty families, which, although generally poor, were successfully clearing land and rais- ing crops. More than this, Governor Wentworth, the leading patron of industries and education, had engaged in an enter- prise within its limits that bid fair to make it eventually the sec- ond town in the province. His operations had thus far been highly conducive to its interests, as he had furnished employ- ment for surplus labor, paying remunerative wages in cash, which was greatly needed by the indigent settlers.
Notwithstanding there was much disquiet in the provinces gen- erally on account of the attempts of the British ministry to en- force unrepresented taxation, yet, as the relations between the King of England and Governor Wentworth were very friendly, and those existing between the governor and people of New Hampshire were equally so, there was comparatively little ap- prehension of fatal disturbances. Business moved on in its ac- customed channels. Probably more was accomplished on the
139
140
HISTORY OF WOLFEBOROUGH.
Wentworth Farm during this than in any preceding year. If the governor feared no great impending evil, the people, of course, would not be greatly alarmed.
Thus closed the year 1774, to the people of Wolfeborough not one of fearful bodings in relation to the future, but of high ex- pectations of a rapid development of its resources and an increase of its population ; men of wealth and position having begun to regard it as a place favorable for investment and residence.
The year 1775 was ushered in with no signs of compromise. The English government abated nothing of its claims ; the pro- vincials were defiant; force, the despot's argument, was threat- ened ; armed redcoats appeared on provincial soil ; the breach con- tinually widened. Still there were those who hoped and believed that there would be a peaceful solution to the difficulty, and among these was Governor Wentworth. As soon as the traveling would permit, he visited his Wolfeborough farm to make prepara- tions for the coming season. On the nineteenth day of April the Battle of Lexington was fought. The bloody conflict aroused the whole country. When the report reached the governor, he immediately set out with a single companion for Portsmouth to counsel peace and, if possible, prevent disorder. The history of the rapidly occurring events that followed has already been nar- rated.
Neither manuscript nor tradition furnishes a clew to the position which individual citizens assumed when Governor Wentworth left the town, or when the political attitude of New Hampshire was undergoing a change. That he left personal friends is not to be questioned, and that he could no longer carry forward the enterprise which promised so much for the future prosperity of the town, was no doubt universally regretted. If some persons were dissatisfied with the turn public affairs were taking, it is probable that there were no outward manifestations of disap- proval. A majority of the people favored democratic ideas, and the town officers were enabled to maintain generally the authority
14I
HISTORY OF WOLFEBOROUGH.
of the charter government, although in a few instances taxes voted could not be collected. The exigencies of the period de- manded the general co-operation of the citizens of the town, and so far as is now known, it was in a good measure secured.
Before giving a narration of events that were transpiring, it seems proper to consider the condition of the town as to men and means to meet the responsibilities approaching. In 1773 a census of New Hampshire was taken by order of the governor. Here is a copy of the order :-
Portsmouth, Oct. 15th, 1773.
Sir-I am to request an exact list of the number of inhabitants in the town of distinguished into different Ranks or Classes according to the Schedule below,-which I shall be glad to have returned to me authenticated as soon as possible.

August 25, 1775, Matthew Thornton, President of the colony of New Hampshire, issued an order to the selectmen of towns to take an account of the inhabitants thereof, classed as follows : Males between 16 and 50 years of age not in the army ; males un- der 16 years of age; males above 50; all females ; negroes and slaves for life ; also to ascertain the number of firearms fit for use ;
142

also the number wanting to complete one for every person capable of using it; the quantity of powder on hand, both public and private property ; and to caution persons against wasting it on shooting birds, etc.
Here is the response made to the above order so far as relates to the town of Wolfeborough, as certified by Henry Rust and Moses Ham, selectmen :-

Here follows an invoice of each person's poll and ratable estate in Wolfeborough, May 7, 1774. Polls of eighteen years and above were rated at eighteen shillings each ; horses and oxen four years old at three shillings ; cows at two shillings ; three years old cattle at one shilling and six pence; two years cattle at one shilling. Improved land was rated at six pence an acre. When a person was between the age of eighteen and twenty-one years, his poll was reckoned with that of his parent; and when the father was aged, and was not assessed for property, his poll was frequently computed with that of his son.

There were fifty-five persons assessed, twenty-seven of them for a poli only. Twenty-three persons were assessed for stock whose ratable value was $21.66. Ten of these owned only a cow. Twenty-nine persons paid taxes on an aggregate of 350 acres of improved land, which was rated in the whole at $29.16. Ten of these possessed only four acres each. The ratable valuation of all property was $50.76, being less than one-third of the total ratable valuation of the town, which, including polls, was $215.76. James Conner was appraised for $167 in money, and Dr. Cutter for the mills, whose ratable value was $3.00, their yearly income being $300. By the foregoing invoice it is shown that the ratable valuation of poll and estate, on which taxation was based, would require that more than three-fourths of any given tax should be assessed on the poll. Of course wild lands were not to be taxed, as they then had no appreciable value ; nor was the Wentworth Farm taken into account, as its disposition had not been deter- mined. It was subsequently taxed.

In 1773 the sum of £5-10-8 was raised to purchase am- munition, and deposited with Henry Rust. There is no record to show by what method the money was obtained. It was evi- dently intended to meet any emergency that might arise, such as the troublesome times seemed to portend. At a town-meeting called by the selectmen through the agency of Constable Aaron Frost with a notice of only one day, the inhabitants met, June 6, 1775, and voted that the money be put in the possession of Moses Ham, and that he be appointed an agent to purchase powder and lead or bullets. He was to use proper expedition in his journey
147

to Portsmouth, and receive for his services and the use of his horse, while absent, at the rate of four shillings per day. Here follows a copy of his account :-
Twenty-two and 5-16 pounds powder £2-15-8
Seventy pounds of lead. 1- 8-0
Four days' service, with daily expense of two
shillings added, being six shillings per day. 1- 4-0 Truckage
I-6
Powder purchased
I-6
Total. £5-10-8
The powder was taken to Wolfeborough on horseback, and the lead converted into bullets by Ham. He remained the custodian of the ammunition until Nov. 15, 1777, when it went into the pos- session of the proper authorities for using it. The town stock at the time of delivery was about twenty-five pounds of powder and sixty-five pounds of bullets.
August 7, 1775, Moses Ham was elected a delegate to the colonial convention, and at the same town-meeting Moses Win- gate, Moses Ham, Robert Calder, John Sinkler, and James Con- ner were chosen a town committee of safety. The exigencies of the times required the formation of such boards of officers. The colony of New Hampshire had its committee of safety, as did the other colonies, so also did a majority of the towns. These com- mittees were generally composed of the more active and patriotic men, who by a unity of counsel and effort secured the confidence of the people, and were able to successfully assume the responsi- bilities of the government at the period of its transformation.
Four young men of Wolfeborough enlisted in the army before the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought-Jeremiah Gould, James Lucas, Ichabod Tebbetts, and Moses Tebbetts. They were mem- bers of Capt. Benjamin Pitman's company in Col. Enoch Poor's regiment. These men probably hastened to the anticipated scene of conflict at the first call to arms, made immediately succeeding
148
HISTORY OF WOLFEBOROUGH.
the Concord fight. Perhaps they did not then enlist for a definite period. They were still in the army in the early autumn of that year. Gould and the two Tebbetts did subsequently enlist and served as soldiers for several years.
July 9, 1776, the selectmen of Wolfeborough certified that the following persons were in the army; viz., Zachariah Bunker, Moses Tebbetts, Ichabod Tebbetts, William Twombly, Samuel Mellows, Garret Byron, and Archibel Campbell.
