THE HUSE FAMILIES
Carr Huse was b. in England in 1740. He emigrated to Amer- ica, landing in Newburyport, Mass., in 1764. The summer of 1767 and the two succeeding summers, he spent in New Chester clearing land for a farm. His camp was near the Pemigewasset river in what is now the village of Hill. Jonas Minot, who visited New Chester in July, 1771, for the Masonian proprietors, reported that at that time Carr Huse and family had been living in a house in the town one year and four months. (See page 40, Vol. I.) By this it seems he made the second permanent settlement in the town, and at as early a date as the spring of 1770. His cabin stood not far from the cemetery east of the railroad. In 1790, he built a frame house just back of the buildings now occupied by George M. Huse, and in 1824, the present buildings.
