TOWN OFFICERS.
Before 1750 the meetings of the proprietors were held in Durham and it was not until 1738 that any of the inhabitants of Canterbury were chosen to office. That year Jeremiah Clough was elected one of the selectmen. In 1740 and 1743 John Moore was chosen a highway surveyor. Other residents of the town may have been selected for various town offices from 1738 to 1744, but the records of the proprietors are very incomplete for these years.
In 1744 the following residents were chosen: Jeremiah Clough, selectman; Josiah Miles and William Foris (Forrest), highway surveyors; William Curry and John Dolloff, tithingmen; Abner Clough, collector; Samuel Shepard, constable; Thomas Clough and William Moore, field drivers; Jeremiah Clough and John Moore, lot layers; James Head and Josiah Miles, fence view- ers; John Gibson, hog constable.
In 1745 Jeremiah Clough and Nathaniel Randall were chosen selectmen; Ephraim Morrill, collector, John Moore, constable; Josiah Miles, field driver; William Miles and William Moore, fence viewers; Benjamin Blanchard, hog constable.
For the next three years there is no record of what was done at the proprie- tors' meetings. In 1749, Ephraim Clough is recorded elected constable, Josiah Miles and James Head, field drivers; Thomas Clough and William Moore, tithingmen; and Jeremiah Clough one of the lot layers. Beginning with 1750 the roster is complete, except for the years 1760 and 1764.
