The above enumeration shows the number of inhabitants in 1850 to have been 1,218. The census office reported a population of 1,220, but the rolls now in the census office show two dupli- cate names in the returns. It is quite probable that several names were omitted by the enumerator, for no mention is made in the returns of the family, five in number, of David Merrill. Adding Merrill's family to the above list, we have for the popu- lation in 1850, 1,223.

HISTORY OF ANDOVER.
FIRST STOCK IN TOWN.
Joseph Fellows brought the first yoke of oxen into town when he cleared the road from Salisbury line to Loon pond. Later he brought a cow from the town of Boscawen, paying for it in beaver skins, which he obtained at the "Great Meadows," now "Danbury Bog." The wild grass of the beaver meadow, then designated "Call's Meadow," since then as "Rollins" or "Flag- hole" meadow, yielded sufficient hay to keep his yoke of small oxen and his cow. He was soon able to get additional hay from various spots in his clearing, all being eked out by birch twigs.
William Morey owned the second cow in town. When he moved to Andover he drove a cow and calf up through the woods of Stevenstown, now Salisbury, to his log cabin, near that of Mr. Fellows. The path was covered with ice and both cow and calf were "half shod," forward, for the journey. Iron shoes were nailed to the inside claw of the fore foot. Mr. Frank W. Proctor has one of the calf shoes. It is a good, hand- made shoe, in a good state of preservation. The dimensions are : Length, 2 1-8 inches; greatest width, 15-16 inches; 1-16 in thick- ness and the calks are 1-4 inch high.
The grass on the natural or so-called "wild" meadows was considered common property until the owners of those tracts ar- rived to claim their rights.
All team work on farms was done with oxen until about 1840, when Willard Emery is supposed to have been the first to use a pair of horses to do heavy farm work in town. He had bought the Barber place at East Andover village and there he used horses for all the work, even "breaking up" greensward with four horses, a noted innovation in those days.
FIRST CARRIAGES AND CARPETS.
The first' one-horse wagon in Andover was made in Hamp- stead, N. H., and was owned by Joseph Brown. The vehicle was clumsy and heavy, without springs of any kind, and was painted with "spruce yellow."
The second similar wagon was owned by Anthony Emery.
The first four-wheeled chaise or covered carriage was owned by Samuel Butterfield and the second by Deacon Josiah Bach- elder.
459
MISCELLANEOUS.
Joseph Philbrick, Senior, was the first or second owner of a two-wheeled chaise.
It is supposed that Samuel Butterfield was the first possessor of an imported woolen carpet in town. He had one floor covered with this fabric in 1840.
Soon after that period several families used carpets woven in town. These home-made floor coverings were woven in colored stripes, of which the warp was of tow, linen or cotton yarn, and the filling of homespun and home-dyed woolen yarn. It became the fashion about 1835 to paint the floor of the "best room" or parlor with "spruce yellow," but when carpets came into use that color became the proper finish for the kitchen floors. Be- fore that epoch the kitchen floor was "sanded," that is, sprinkled with sand, which the skillful housewife brushed into graceful figures with her hemlock broom.
