ROGER TOOTHAKER was a resident in town in 1796. He was best known as a quack doctor, and was generally addressed as Dr. Toothaker. His residence was a rude hovel which formerly stood near a large rock about half- way between where Henry Esty now resides and the house of Elijah Gates. His business was not so lucrative as many of his profession, and he is said to have been miserably poor. His residence here was short, he prob- ably leaving for some place where he could have a more extensive practice. His wife, Mary, united with the church Apr. 10, 1796, by virtue of a letter of dismission and recommendation from the church in Merrimack. No record of the family has been received.

Woodward, where he settled about 1770. At that time, he was a man of wealth ; and it seems was highly esteemed, and held many offices of trust among the proprietors.
