Dudley Hill was in business from 1825 to 1827, inclusive, according to the record of licenses. His store joined the shed north of the hotel stable. He was probably followed in trade by Jeremiah Kimball, who later had John L. Young as a partner. Kimball and Young were in trade as late as 1834. Knowlton, Neal and Company of Pittsfield were in business for a brief time at the same store, as was Stephen Dudley Greeley, who came about 1838 and continued in trade here five or six years.


From 1827 to 1829 licenses were issued to Amos Cogswell as a storekeeper. He may have been in business longer than the record of licenses indicated. John Shortridge built a store and residence a short distance from the Corner on the Belmont road about 1842. The place was afterwards owned and occupied by John L. Young for a number of years.


In 1884 John Twombly was in trade at the Solomon M. Clifford shoe shop. He sold to Charles S. Osgood the next year, who continued in business about six months. Prior to Mr. Twombly's coming and after the shoe business ceased, Mr. Clifford made brooms in this building.


The blacksmiths of this locality have been mentioned in a previous chapter.2 At different times there were shoemakers who made and repaired shoes. In the early days they went from house to house at stated seasons to make shoes for the family from the hides which the farmers had tanned for this purpose. T. Sewall Smith had a shop near the turning mill prior to the coming of Ebenezer Currier. Moses Worthen's place of business was at his house, where Timothy Frisbee had his blacksmith shop previously. It was at the cross roads, a mile from Hill's Tavern on the Belmont road. This locality

was known for many years as Worthen's Corner. Alpheus W. Chaplain had a shop at his residence.


The first hotel in this locality was kept by Lieut. Moses Cogs- well. The town records show that a license was given to him as a taverner in 1807. He may have begun hotel keeping a. few years earlier. His widow, Hannah Cogswell, succeeded him in business, for licenses were issued to her from 1811 to 1814. The next year her son, Amos Cogswell, took out a license, and there is a record of repeated renewals until 1838. As seen in a previous chapter,1 Thomas Butters, John Kimball and Dudley Hill were residents of this district to whom licenses were granted to keep a hotel. The best known of all these was the Hill Tavern.


This hostelry, famous for its good cheer and hospitality in the days of stage coaches and travel by teams, was started by William Moody early in the nineteenth century. The original dining room was once the old tannery at the foot of the hill on the highway leading from Hill's Corner to Hackleborough.2 Later additions were made to the building, probably by Dudley Hill, who came from Northwood about 1825. Originally it was known as the Bell Tavern from the picture of a bell upon its sign. Very likely Thomas Butters was then its proprietor. After Mr. Hill became its landlord, the sign was changed to one which read "The Canterbury House, 1825, Dudley Hill." Then as the host became known to the traveling public, it took his name. The hotel was on the regular stage line from Concord to Meredith, and the connections extended to Boston, Mass., and Fryeburg, Me. Travelers going south stopped here for dinner and to other meals when for any cause the stages were belated. Both going north and returning, there was a change of horses at this tavern, for connected was a large stable. As many as thirty horses have been housed for the night, including the relays for the stages and those of sojourners traveling in private teams. Jonathan Irving was head hostler and enjoyed a popularity with the public second only to that of Mr. Hill.


When Mr. Hill was elected to the legislature, he leased the hotel to Harrison and Orville Messer, who owned the stage line. The lease having expired, he again took possession and continued as its landlord until his death, May 30, 1871. After the stages

were supplanted by the railroads, the business of the tavern fell off, and its only gala days were the Sundays in the summer when the Shaker meetings attracted large numbers from Concord, Laconia, Tilton and other places, some of whom tarried there for dinner as they returned from the Shakers. Mr. Hill's widow kept the tavern until her death. Following Mrs. Hill was Joseph K. Hancock, who was proprietor for the sixteen years following 1890. It was as a summer hotel that it was best known under Mr. Hancock's ownership. Since 1906 this hostelry has been kept by Henry W. Johnson.


Hill's Corner was famous for its singing schools for many years, but few today have knowledge that at one time it maintained a fully organized band. The men were taught by Hoitt Dimond of Meredith Bridge, now Laconia. The rehearsals were held in the old red school house before it was remodeled in 1843. The date of the organization would therefore be as early as 1842 or perhaps a year earlier. At first the membership was from fifteen to twenty, but the departure of the young men seeking their fortunes elsewhere reduced the number. Their places were not taken by others. Among those who belonged to the band, these are recalled: Franklin Keniston, clarinet; Amos Cogswell, bass drum; Marquis D. Chaplain, snare drum; Horace W. Mathes, trombone; John M. Mathes, bugle; Cyrus E. Mathes, flute; Hiram Stevens Mathes, triangle; Warren Ham, Jesse Kimball, Thomas Ham, Moses, Thomas and George Cogswell. Of these the only one living is Hiram S. Mathes, now of Alton, Ill. He has the triangle used by him when only twelve years old. The few years the organization continued it was the pride of the community. No record remains of its engagements, and it is very probable that its services were largely voluntary contributions at musters and at other public events of Canter- bury and the surrounding towns.1

CHAPTER XXVI.


CENTER SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 7. WITHIN ITS LIMITS THE FIRST' SCHOOL HOUSE WAS BUILT. HERE ALSO WAS THE LOG CHURCH AND FIRST FRAME MEETING HOUSE. SOME OF THE EARLY SETTLERS. LOCATION OF HOMESTEADS.


The boundaries of this district as it was laid out in 1814 were as follows:


"Begins at the northwest corner of William Hazelton's farm, thence eastwardly on the south line of District No. 3 to No. 5,. thence on District No. 5 to No. 4, thence south on District No. 4 to No. 1, thence westwardly on No. 1 to No. 2, thence north- wardly on No. 2 to the first mentioned bound."


Somewhere within the limits of this district the first school house in Canterbury was built. Only traditional accounts of its location survive, and these are vague.1 Here the people assembled for worship, first, at the log meeting house near the residence of John P. Kimball and, later, in the frame church originally situated on ground now included within the cemetery. The home lots in the neighborhood of the meeting house appear to have been subdivided very early after the first settlements, and these subdivisions changed hands frequently.2 It is, therefore, impossible to locate with accuracy all of the sites selected by the pioneers for their homes. The first habitations were rude huts built of logs, to be supplanted later by modest frame dwellings. When more commodious buildings were erected, the old houses were used for other purposes while they remained standing. If they were moved, their first location has been forgotten. The transfers of property as shown by the registry of deeds, however, tell who were early settlers, and, by references in these convey- ances to the numbers of the home lots, an approximate location for each can be made.


The Rev. James Scales came to Canterbury in 1742. His home was not far from the present residence of James F. French.


1 See chapter on Schools.


2 The home lots were all embraced in the original boundaries of school dis- tricts, numbers 1, 2 and 7.

CENTER SCHOOL DISTRICT, NO. 7.


When he removed to Hopkinton in 1757 he sold his place to John Gibson, who in turn disposed of the property to the Rev. Abiel Foster in 1770. Where Mr. Foster resided during the first ten years of his pastorate is not known, for his purchase of Gibson is the first one he made of which there is record. The Rev. Frederick Parker was also a resident of this district, dwelling near the meeting house.


The three brothers, Samuel, Simon and Daniel Ames came to Canterbury about 1750 and all appear to have located at or near the Center.


Dr. Josiah Chase, the first physician in town, sold his place in 1769 to David Foster, "trader." This location is on the east side of the road running south from the Center. Except Thomas. Corbett, who was a Shaker, all of the subsequent physicians of Canterbury resided in this district. If Mr. Foster was a mer- chant, as his designation in deeds for a number of years implies, his store may have been at or near his dwelling.1


Ephraim and Jeremiah Hackett, father and son, came early to this locality, but, except as the numbers of the home lots they bought and sold appear in deeds, nothing remains to show the site of their homes. These were probably south and southeast of the meeting house.


Other pioneers who settled in this district were Ezekiel Morrill and his son Laban and Thomas Clough.2 As their descendants continued to reside here, their locations can be identified.


Near the Center resided Canterbury's physicians, Drs. Jonathan Kittredge, Joseph M. Harper and Lorrain T. Weeks.


It is probable that there were earlier inhabitants at some of the sites than are noted. Within a radius of a quarter of a mile of the meeting house, the land appears to have been owned in small holdings from the earliest days. This would lead to a transient population, of whom only a part are remembered.


Near the fort and over his grave the Cloughs have erected a monument to their ancestor, Capt. Jeremiah Clough, Jr., the Revolutionary soldier.


1 See chapter VIII.


2 On the plan of the location of the first settlers, page 15 of this volume, the name of Thomas Clough was inadvertently omitted. The site of his home is a little to the northwest of the letter "D" on that plan, easterly from the fort with intervale land between. It was across this intervale that Mrs. Clough fled from her house to the fort, when she discovered traces of Indians in 1757.

HISTORY OF CANTERBURY.


The local name of "Center" given to this school district is not due to its geographical situation, which is west of the middle of the town. It arose from the fact that from the earliest times the people gathered or centered here for the transaction of public business and that it was the only meeting place for public worship until the close of the eighteenth century. The local story, there- fore, is largely a part of the history of the whole town.


The plan giving the sites of homesteads in this district in their relation to the highways and the succession of inhabitants at each so far as known, follows.

These lots were bought and sold by some of the early settlers and their immediate descendants sometimes in their entirety and at other times in subdivisions. The original locations can no longer be identified. After the coming of the railroads, this locality became more the business part of the town, and, if there were cellars to the first houses, which is doubtful, they in time were filled or otherwise obscured.


CHAPTER XXVII.


INGALLS DISTRICT, NO. 9. AN INGALLS NEIGHBORHOOD. UNITED TO LOUDON FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES IN 1880. LOCATION OF HOMESTEADS.


When the town was divided into nine school districts in Decem- ber, 1814, No. 9 was bounded as follows: "Begins at Loudon line near Stephen Cate's, then following said line to Ebenezer Batchelder's, then following the line of No. 8 to the bound first mentioned."


The boundaries of No. 8 were as follows:


"To begin at Loudon line on the southeast corner of No. 4, thence running north by Daniel Smith's, then west by Stephen Cate's, then north by said Cate's, then west to the Range Way near Nath'l Ingalls, thence north by said Ingall's land, then north by Jesse Ingall's land, then east by said Jesse Ingall's land, then east by Ebenezer Parker's land, then north by Jesse Ingall's land to Ebenezer Bachelder's, then west by said Bachelder's, then north to Richard Bachelder's land, then west to Gideon Ham's, thence south to Joseph Kimball's, then east to Chase Wiggin's land, then south to George Arvin's, thence west to the Range Road near Joseph Kimball's, then north to Gideon Ham's, then west to the road near Joseph Ham's, then south to the south- east corner of Arch's Moore's land, then westwardly to the northwest corner of the Smith Farm, then south to the old Meet- ing House, then east to John Shaw's, then south to Henry Jones', then on the line of District No. 4 to the bound first mentioned."


No. 8 was the Shaker district. In the first division of the town, approved at the annual meeting March, 1814, only six districts were provided.1 The Shakers were included in Nos. 4, 5 and 6, while the Ingalls district was a part of No. 6. . This arrangement not proving satisfactory, the number of districts was increased to nine at a special town meeting held in Decem- ber following. The Shakers then became a district by themselves and the Ingalls neighborhood was given separate school privileges.


1 See chapter on Schools.

HISTORY OF CANTERBURY.


Looking at the map of Canterbury, it will be seen that No. 9 is located in the southeast corner of the town near the Loudon line, two miles at least from Hill's Corner and over a mile from the school house in the Baptist district. When there were large families of children, this community furnished enough children to warrant the creation of a school district. A half century later the number of pupils was small. In 1880 the district was united with one in Loudon for school purposes and the Ingalls district disappears from the records of Canterbury.


John Ingalls, the ancestor of the Ingallses of this town, was the first settler in the neighborhood, coming about 1775. His descendants resided here for more than a century. William Brown, Ebenezer Parker and Reuben French were the next settlers, but it may have been a quarter of a century later before any of them came to this locality.


Between No. 12 and No. 11 on the plan, about a half mile south of No. 12, are three old cellars on the west side of the road. It is not known who occupied the houses that once stood over them. They may have been merely tenants who were employed by the farmers of this district. Between No. 2 and No. 3 on the plan is a small cemetery marked by an "X." It was a neighborhood burying yard used by the Browns, Parkers and Frenches. In the field back of John Ingalls' buildings is a family cemetery.


The following plan of the highways shows the location of the homesteads in this district, and the description accompanying it gives the succession of occupants so far as known.


No. 1. Buildings gone. Jesse Ingalls, son of John at No. 6. It is over three quarters of a century since there were buildings on this site.


No. 2. William Brown, born in Loudon, came here about 1800 and erected on the west side of the road a building 15 feet by 20 feet. He had his work bench in one end and his bed and stove in the other. With a turning mill operated by his feet he made his furniture and farming tools. Afterwards he built a house on the east side of the road and used the first building as a carpenter's shop. Another house was later built for his son, George W. Brown, close to the second but not connected. After William Brown died, his house was moved to Loudon. In 1851 George W. moved to Hill's Corner. Those who occu- pied his house later were Caleb Moulton, John Perkins, Samuel Morrill, Joseph Bean, John Nelson, Charles L. Miller and Oscar Shaw, present occupant.
