The firm of Sweatt & Co., of which he was a member, laid the first track on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, from the Relay House to Ellicott's Mills,-six miles in six weeks. At that time (1830-1835) railroad engineering required stone ties, or longitudinal blocks of granite to which the rails were spiked. He also laid a longitudinal track of stone from Ellicott's Mills to Morrillsville,- ten miles,-requiring 100,000 cubic feet of stone ; also a track from Frenchtown to Newcastle, in Dela- ware ; also track upon other roads in Maryland. In 1836-'37 he supplied the government with stone for the public warehouse in Baltimore. In 1838-'39 he furnished stone for the government in Washington.

GENEALOGICAL-ROLFE.
ROLFE.
Compiled by John Kimball.
The ancestors of the Rolfe families in B. and Concord were two brothers, who came from England and settled in Newbury, Mass., about 1635. The tradition was, that these brothers were the ancestors of all the Rolfes in this country ; but the records of Ipswich, Mass., show that in 1640 there were two men in that town by the name of Daniel and Ezra Rolfe: so this tradition is erroneous.
HENRY,1 with his wife Honour, and his brother John, with his wife Esther, were in Newbury before 1642.
John, Benjamin, and two daughters.
JOHN2 (Henry1) m. and lived a short time in Newbury, then moved to Nantucket, and from there to Cambridge. He had 14 or 15 children. Five of his sons went to Woodbridge, N. J. Their descendants generally spell their name Rolph.
BENJAMIN2 (Henry1) m. Apphia, only daughter of Thomas Hale, an early settler in Newbury, and the ancestor of the Hales in New England and New York.
John, Benjamin, Henry, Nathaniel, Samuel, and four daughters.
JOHN3 (Benjamin,2 Henry1) was the ancestor of the families of that name who settled in B.

BENJAMIN3 (Benjamin2) was the minister killed by the Indians in their attack at Haverhill, Mass., in 1708.

MISCELLANY.
OFFICIAL HISTORY.
HE corporate existence of Boscawen began in 1760; that of Webster in 1860. In its centennial year the town was divided. The causes that brought about the division were many. The geographical features made a division practicable. Beaver dam, entering the town from the north and running due south, parallel with the eastern and western boundaries, would be a nat- ural dividing line.
The changes brought about by the construction of the Northern and Concord & Claremont railroads, the changes of trade,-those living in Bashan doing their trading at Concord, those west of Long pond having more in common with Contoocook, or with Warner, than with Boscawen Plain,-were influences tending to a division.
There was no bond of union,-no centralizing force. The meeting-house question had been a disturbing element as early as 1791 [see p. 137], when 71 citizens, living west of Beaver dam, had petitioned for a new town. The remodelling of the meeting- house on the Plain in 1840, making it necessary to hold the annual meetings at the West end two years in succession, brought up the question of a division once more.
