THE EARLY ROADS IN RAYMOND.

September 20, 1732, Chester voted that there shall be a horse-path or cart-path cleared from this meeting-house to the centre of the north parish.
March 10, 1748, Chester laid out from the Branch to Freetown, and others September 22, 1749, May 5, 1750, July 8, 1751, April, 1757, October 18, 1757, June 12, 1759, from Freetown to Dudley's Mill ; June 12, 1759, June 13, 1759, from Freetown towards Nottingham ; June 14, 1760, from Jones pond to No. 39 and the main road. (See History of Roads in Chester.)

666
HISTORY OF RAYMOND.
June 6, 1770, on Candia line from Jacob Sargent's to W. Clifford's.
December 25, 1770, from near Ezekiel Lane's, cast_ southeast, on the reserve towards the Todd road.
June 26, 1770, from near Reuben Whittier's, near Ches- ter line, to the Branch road.
March 4, 1771, from near John Dudley's, northeast to the road laid out by Candia, near Thomas Critchet's.
May 26, 1772, from near Daniel Lane's, northeast, pass- ing Lane's mill, the length of No. 116.
October 2, 1772, the Oak Hill road.
March 6, 1775, and March 4, 1776, the Pond road from Candia line, near William Clifford's, passing William Smith Healey's and between Robert Wadleigh's house and barn to the rangeway at the northerly corner of John Sweat's field, and on the parsonage and school lots, and the lot of Benjamin Moulton and Henry Trasher, to the great road that leads down to Freetown.

November 7, 1792, from near David Lane's, across land of Samuel Shaw and several lots, to the Jones road. This is the present road from Lane's to the Centre. Before this they had probably passed down the reserve on the road laid out December 25, 1770, to the road laid out from Dr. Page's, 1790, which must have been traveled before laid out, as Jonas Clay, and others, lived on or near it. The Mountain road is mentioned in the return of Oak Hill road, but I have not seen any return of it.

The Rev. Joseph Fullonton has for several years, as he has had leisure, been collecting materials and writing a history of Raymond. He made the very liberal offer to give his manuscript to the town, provided the town would print it.
At the annual meeting, 1867, the town voted to accept the offer and to give a copy to every family in town. Mr. Fullonton wished some time to revise his work, and has delayed printing it.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
At the annual town meeting in 1868, the town of Auburn voted to pay one dollar and fifty cents for each and every copy of Chase's History which should be subscribed for by the inhabitants of the town, to be deducted from the sub- scription price. In August, 1868, I issued a circular, invit- ing the natives of Chester, and others interested in the history, in order to defray the expense of the illustrations, to subscribe and advance money,- those advancing ten dollars to have one copy of the work, and those advancing twenty dollars to have two copies, and to have their names and donations inserted in the book. This circular has been very liberally responded to, greatly exceeding my most san- guine expectations, and the donors have my hearty thanks. Many of them being men of limited means, must in these times of high taxation find it difficult to spare the money. Without this liberality, the work could not have been printed without a heavy loss.

The building now used as a wood-house, etc., by Benjamin Wilson, was a Welling-house, and probably was built by John Karr. previo is to 1740. The Lorings are split out and not sawed. John Karr has two mills on his inven- ry in 1741, and if there lad been a mill when the hoise was balt, the porings would have been sawed, not split. The house was used as a garrison. here are some vestiges of an Indian encampment by the side of the mill-pond.
