It is hardly probable the original road ran in the same place as now and in fact one change is known to have been made about 1835 (?) 150 rods or so from the end in Surry valley where the road was moved a few rods farther to the west to get a better grade.


The earliest record found giving some evidence of this road is:


Mar. 26, 1787; Voted, that a petition offered by Silvanus Hayward to have the privilege of shutting up a road at the Towns pleasure, which runs Eighty rods from the Main road west thru Sd Hayward's land.


At a Town Meeting held March 13, 1788;


Voted to accept a Highway from William Russell, Jr. to Silvanus Hay-

ward's as in the survey. Also Voted, to re-consider the vote taken last year Granting Silvanus Hayward the privelege of a road west from the main road by said Hayward's dwelling house.


The following is a lay-out of a highway made Dec. 27, 1787 which began near Frederick R. Crane's buildings :


Beginning at the corner between Benjamin Carpenter, Jr. and Wil- liam Russell, Jr. then running North two rods wide, one half on Sd Carpenters land and one half on Sd Russells land to a poplar tree marked on the north side; thence Easterly on Sd Carpenters land to Ebenezer Gilberts land; then Easterly by marked trees to Col. Hunts land; then thru the same to Col. Jonathan Smith, Jr. land; thence to Silvanus Haywards, in a North-easterly course to a highway formerly laid out.


On Dec. 25, 1807 this road was again laid out and ran from the John Cole place on the old County road by old Mr. Benjamin Carpenter, Jr. (now the Mrs. S. H. Clement's) place to Daniel Hayward's on the Great road. This road was three rods wide and two miles and 62 rods long.


After the Pollard road was built it was voted March 8, 1825 "to pass over" an article in the warrant to throw up the old road from Benjamin Carpenter, Jr. to the Royal Watkins road, near the old Cole place. The exact time this road was discontinued has not been ascertained. It entered the present high- way west of F. R. Crane's dwelling house and crossed the door-yard east of the Mrs. S. H. Clement's house.


THE WILBUR ROAD


On Oct. 3, 1807 this road was surveyed from the north side of the school house on the Great road near Maj. Nathan Hayward's (now Frank E. Ellis) by Hercules Hayward's (the old Barney Wilbur) place, to the old County road at the John Cole place. To be three rods wide, and was one mile and 237 rods long. No earlier layout has been found of this road, yet there is rea- son to assume it was traveled to some extent prior to 1800; neither can we ascertain the date at which the east end of this road was discontinued. The west end from the Wilbur house to the highway was in use until after 1860.


THE STIMPSON BRIDLE PATH


This ran from near the John Cole place southwesterly to the bridge over the railroad at the Summit. An old Bridle path, or cart road, called the Stimpson road. It was never a laid out road, although used as a cross-road as early as 1825.


THE CHESHIRE TURNPIKE


On June 8, 1804 a petition by Simeon Olcott Esq. of Charlestown and others for a turnpike road from the mouth of the Black river in Springfield, Vt., through Charlestown, Langdon, Drewsville, Alstead, Surry to Keene was "committed" in the New Hampshire Legislature. -- K. S.


The Cheshire Turnpike was incorporated, Dec. 13, 1804, it ran up Surry valley. On or about Aug. 1, 1841 the gates on the Cheshire turnpike were thrown open and it became a "free road." The town borrowed $600.00 of Capt. Francis Holbrook to pay off the proprietors for Surry's interest .- K. S.

HISTORY OF SURRY


THE SURRY WEST ROAD


* In 1770 a highway was laid out from the Four Corners in Keene to Surry town line, and probably soon after was continued to near the dwelling house of the late Edmond Woodward on the Great road. Leaving the present high- way where W. F. Gate's dwelling house now stands in Keene, it bore north- westerly and after passing three dwellings came out at the old Daniel Darling (the late G. D. Gillis') buildings. Passing northerly on the west side of this house, it entered the pasture, then northeast by another house site and a large rock where the South Toll Gate formerly hung; continuing into Surry; thence north, then more westerly around west of the mill pond to the Wilbur road; thence east on this road to the Great Road,-a few rods north of F. E. Ellis' barn.


The town changed the above road in 1789; running north on the west line of Peter Hayward's farm, then northeast "by the Widow (Sarah) Hayward & Sarel Hayward saw mill," crossing their mill-dam thence northerly, pass- ing on the east side of their house to the present highway.


Surry, February 2, 1789. Silv. Hayward, Surveyor.


June 19, 1804 this road was re-laid by the selectmen from the mill-dam to the Great road, thus :


Beginning at the south-west corner of Nathan Hayward's Milldam, then ran N. 1" E. 50 rods. to the south-west corner of Nathan Hayward's House, then N. 19" E. 15 rods to the Great Road. This road was two rods wide except at the buildings where it is only 14 rods.


On May 8, 1801 & Nov. 5, 1805 the town of Keene laid out the present high- way from W. F. Gates house northward thru "Nigger Hollow" to Surry town line, and this was instrumental in a petition for a "bridle road," thus :


Surry, Sept. 9, 1806. For the accommodation of the inhabitants in this vicinity the following request was made, "that the Town would grant them a Bridle road from Major Nathan Haywards Mill-dam to meet the road which the Selectmen of Keene laid out last Autumn near Nathan Carpenter's," etc. Signed by;

ROADS, HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES


As there is no reference to this being made a "Bridle road" after the above "petition," it doubtless when finished became an open and public highway, remaining as such to the present day.


THE AUSTIN ROAD


This began near the south abutment of the "Great Bridge" and runs up the west side and to the top of south part of Surry Mountain, where the McCurdy family owned land which was later owned by Thomas Austin and where he lived many years.


The first mention of this road-July 31, 1781. Voted, to not except a high- way through Samuel M'Curdy's land up the west side of the mountain.


Mar. 25, 1783. "Voted to excuse Mr. Samuel M'Curdy and his sons from their highway tax for 1782 and 1783 on account of their making the road up the Mountain to Gilsum" line.


At the request of James M'Curdy this road was laid out by the town Sept. 29, 1789 and accepted soon after. It is described as beginning "at a Black Burch staddle on or near Gilsum line on the Mountain" then runs southwest- erly by James' house down the Mountain to Peter Hayward's line, then "to a white tree on the Great Road at the Bridge"; the said road is two rods wide and the trees are "marked with two notches."


This road was not discontinued until March 8, 1898, subject to gate and bars, although for many years previous it had been little used.


THE M'CURDY ROAD


This is the extreme north end of Surry East road. It ran northward across the meadow above the Great Bridge. The selectmen laid this road out in 1783 two rods wide and it was always "to be a pent or bridle road." and not to be passable except by gates and bars. This road ran across James M'Curdy's land to the "southeastwardly corner of William Hayward's land." It has been an open and public highway for possibly 100 years.


THE GREAT ROAD


This road was re-surveyed and several slight changes made July 3, 1794.


March 30, 1784. Voted to clear the Main road, also to dispose of a strip of land lying in the highway, beginning at Mr. Brockways corner by Darts shop and making his fence straight with Mr. Brockway's fence at the corner, and to take no more of the Road there, and then to narrow off until it comes to a point at Mr (Jonathan ?) Smith's fence by his house, also;


Voted to leave the matter with the Selectmen to see how much land shall be taken from Mr. Smith, supposing they will take some land lying against the East end of the meeting-house.


POND ROAD


Apr. ye 21, 1788, A plan of a highway laid out in Surry; Beginning at a stake and stones on the West line of the highway that leads through the Town a little North of Sylvaneus Haywards house, then runs W. 7º S. 14 rods; then W. 43º S. 10 rods; then 3º S. 9 rods; then W. 10° W. W. 42 rods

where it meets a Highway laid out to Benjamin Carpenter, Jr. Said road to be two rods wide.


THE GREAT ROAD


The following is a survey of the present road from the Dry-Bridge (near Goosberry Rock), south to near F. E. Ellis' buildings ;- the old road ran west of present house on the Woodward farm and intersected the present road at Goosberry rock. When first opened this road crossed a small dry gulch near the north end over which a bridge of wood was built, and which was known as the "Dry bridge." It is frequently called by that name to this day, yet on March 12, 1812 Edmond Wetherbee bid off the job of building a road of stone and gravel at the Dry bridge by Goosberry rock for $23.00; the culvert to be built of stone, and the road-way to be as wide "as the plank now on this bridge." The survey:


Surry April 17, 1804.


This day laid out a Highway at the south Butment of the new Bridge on the Road lately laid out by the Slectmen and the Towns Committee, Ran South 2° west 34 rods to a stake; Then south 8° west 12 rods to a stake; Then south 10° west 14 rods to a stake; Then east 31° south 24 rods into the old road at the bottom of the burying yard Hill. Said road to be four rods wide and the above described line to be the center.


Asahel Harvey, Nathan Estabrook, Selectmen. Eli Dort, T. Clerk. Sept. 9, 1806; Voted: Not take any shares in the Cheshire Turnpike cor- poration as a town.


March 3, 1803. "Voted to have a Turnpike road through this Town."


March 26, 1803. Voted to straighten the road through town; At the south part of town, through land of John M'Curdy, Samuel M'Curdy and Daniel Day, thence north to Goosberry rock; Also a change from Isaac Monroe's barnyard "North 40 rods to John Brockways well."


March 10, 1908, the town voted to raise $86.00 and gain "State Aid." This was soon followed by building the state road through the valley from the Keene town line. A state highway patrolman has been engaged on this and the Gilsum road for the past ten or more years.


THE GREAT ROAD OR SURRY EAST ROAD IN KEENE


March 5, 1754. A road two rods wide was laid out "Up the river" which began at Ash Swamp road (now West street in Keene) and extended to land of Ebenezer Day's, who lived where Nils Johnson now (1922) lives, it being the first farm south of No. 251-see map. - Keene Records.


March 4, 1760. A road was laid out and accepted by the town of Keene which began at the south side of Ebenezer Day's land, then extended under the Mountain, through Peter Rice's land to the town line of Westmoreland, now Surry.


In 1784 the town of Keene laid out a road two rods wide which began at the road near Asahel Blake's and ran from thence on or near land of Nathan Blake, John Day, Hannaniah Hall and William Hayward's land to the town

line .- Keene Records. Possibly this was the road which ran just west of the Darling house No. 247.


There are also numerous trails and wood roads in various parts of the town of which no mention is made.


1858 an attempt was made to build a road around the hill from William Kingsbury's cider mill (No. 20) to near the clay-pit but nothing was done.


BRIDGES


THE GREAT BRIDGE


The Great bridge over the river near No. 1, is the most noted of any in town. The date when the first was erected here has not been ascertained, but in 1771 it was voted to build a new bridge near "the old one," hence, the old one probably was built as early as 1762. Bridges have been built over the river at two points within the memory of those now living. The "lower" site was in use around 1850 and is more direct, but slightly longer than the "upper" location which is about 60 feet across.


On Oct. 2, 1783 the town bought land of the Hayward's for the new bridge, and later that year voted to accept the new bridge over Ashuelot river.


June 3, 1793. Voted to raise 40 pounds before October 1st next, to build a bridge. We cannot explain this vote unless we suppose the Great bridge had been carried away by ice or high water, as the structure was only ten years old.


From 1805 until 1840 the Cheshire Turnpike corporation had charge of this bridge. Feb. 1824, a great freshet carried off this bridge as noted in-K. S.


Tradition says there was a "truss bridge" at the present spot till 1848. Then a new one was built at the lower site having supports in the middle of the river. In ten years this became decayed and in 1859 a new one of the "Wilder pattern" was built on the upper site. The present one was built about 1890.


Dec. 13, 1773. Voted to get 1000 feet of plank for bridges for next year.


In 1779 a bridge was built near the "White rock" over Harvey's brook, south of Edward H. Joslin's.


BUTLER'S ROCK BRIDGE


The first bridge was built here about 1789, and in 1810 it was voted to accept a new bridge built by Asa Wilcox on the road leading to John Red- ding's house, No. 139.


THE CAPT. HOLBROOK BRIDGE


1801. Voted to finish the bridge between Asa Wolcox place and Samuel Hills.


THE JOSLIN ROAD BRIDGE


March 1798. Voted to accept the new bridge on "Harvey road," built by Samuel Allen. Probably until this time teams forded the brook.

HISTORY OF SURRY


ASAHEL HARVEY BRIDGE


March 12, 1811. Voted to grant a bridge over Asahel Harvey's mill pond. This was at No. 174. A bridge was maintained here until about 1850.


THE STONE BRIDGE


The old records speak of the bridge near No. 201, as the "stone bridge." This, however, is little more than a culvert.


THE DRY BRIDGE


March 26, 1803. The town voted to straighten the road in the south part of town-near No. 15. In 1804 the new "Dry bridge" is mentioned in the records as being near "Goosberry rock."


March 10, 1812. Edmund Wetherbee took the job of building "a stone and gravel bridge" near Goosberry rock for $23.00; the same to be built as wide as the plank are now on said bridge.


THE ROGERS BRIDGE


William Hayward had a saw mill here in 1784 and some years later it ap- pears the road was laid out over his mill dam, but no record to this effect has been discovered. There has been a bridge here for over 130 years.


March 9, 1915. Voted to raise $500.00 to build a concrete bridge by the Rogers mill-pond-No. 5, map.


CHAPTER VI.


POPULATION CENSUS AND LIST OF VOTERS


The first census of which we have any knowledge was taken in 1767-two years before the birth of Surry. It is interesting to note the population taken at that time of adjoining towns. Alstead, 130; Gilsum, 128; Keene, 430; Walpole, 308 and Westmoreland, 391. The latter town and Gilsum lost por- tions of their people when Surry was incorporated in 1769.
