unappropriated Lands unlikely soon to be settled at or near the White Hills where if some expense was properly laid out would shorten the travel from Connecticut River to the seaports and prevent the people at Upper Coös being under the necessity of tak- ing the tedious rout of Lower Coös of at least forty or fifty miles farther. And whereas it is now a time of war and the people at Up- per Coös being the frontier of this state on the Connecticut in the Northern Quarter exposed to alarms and attack of the enemy from Canada, and having no resorce for help or way of retreat but by the way of Lower Coös (which think ourselves equally exposed) wherefore your Petitioners beg the interposition of the Honorable Court that they would order the above said Road may imme- diately be made possible with horses or carriages through said unappropriated Land at the cost of the State, and through the appropriated Lands at the cost of owners that the relief may be had from the Interior to the Exterior part of the State which will be of great importance to your Petitioners and advantage to this State and we will ever pray,

We, Jeremiah Eames, and Joseph Peverly, selectmen of North- umberland, and Joshua Lambkin, selectman, and James Brown, Town Clerk of Stratford, certify that we have been notified that a Petition was presented, or about to be presented, to the General Court for a Ferry to be granted to Thomas Burnside to begin at the Ferry Bounds of Edward Buckman, one mile above the Great falls, at Northumberland to extend six miles up from said bounds on the river Connecticut, taking in the mouth of Ammonoosuc River, and one mile up the same. And that we know the inhab- itants of said towns and every one travelling that way will be greatly relieved by a Ferry being there. And we further certify that we are of opinion no person in either of these towns or in the State would object thereto, as no one would be injured thereby, but every person in that quarter and all travellers there greatly benefited.

ford, which were then the frontier settlement in this State and consequently in the time of the war was most exposed to the depre- dations and ravages of the enemy, and that at the repeated solici- tations of the inhabitants and the commanding officers further down the Connecticut River they continued at their settlements though in continual jeopardy for several years and until the enemy came upon them, took some of the inhabitants captive and plundered others which compelled your Petitioners to remove to places where their families might not be exposed to continual changes-that your Petitioners, though very great sufferers dur- ing the continuance of the war have, since the conclusion thereof exerted themselves, (though in indigent circumstances) and have returned to their former settlements where they wish to continue and make such improvements as may be beneficial to themselves. Occasioned by their poverty and the distance they live from in- habitants of wealth and fortune, which together with expense they have necessarily ben obliged to be at in building bridges and a road through the town-renders them quite unable to discharge the Taxes laid on them by Government, though well disposed and desirous of doing what is in their power to the support thereof your Petioners are, though reduced to the disagreeable necessity of petitioning your Honors to take their unfortunate case under your wise considerations and abate so much of the taxes required of said town as the present inhabitants are by law subjected to pay, or in any other way, release them as you in your great wisdom see meat. As your Petitioners in duty bound shall ever pray. In behalf of the Petitioners,

ABNER BARLOW,


(Note on the above petition) .- We take the following from Barton's History of New Hampshire:


The gradual extension of new settlements in the northern part of the state and the great distance from the shire towns of Grafton County, led to the organization of Coös County in December, 1803.


Twelve years before the commencement of the revolution, a little settlement was commenced at Lancaster, and soon followed by others of the same humble character at North- umberland, Stratford and Dalton. In 1775, the population of the present county had increased to the modest number of 227 persons, divided among six townships, of which Lancaster with its 61 inhabitants was the most populous.


In 1803, the whole population was a little more than 3,000 divided among ten incorporated towns.

FIRST INVENTORY OF NON-RESIDENT PROPERTY


The following is the first inventory of non-resident property recorded. This inventory is dated June 2, 1805, but we think it should be 1806. The record of 1805 gives Agur Platt, Thomas G. French and James Brown as elected selectmen. They certify to taking the resident invoice April 1, 1805. The record of 1806 states that Nathan Cass, Thomas G. French and Agur Platt were chosen selectmen, March IIth, and these three men as selectmen on the 12th of March license Isaac Stevens and Peletiah Nichols as taverners. This shows that an invoice by Nathan Cass, Thomas G. French and Agur Platt must be in 1806, instead of 1805.
