" April, 1771. Received from Thomas Moss, by Major Willard, seven pounds five shillings eightpence one farthing, the Province- tax of Dublin for the 1770.
"H. GEO. JAFFREY, Treasurer." " £7.5.81.
Cæsar Freeman. - In the book which contains the town- clerk's record of births is the following : -
" Cæsar Freeman, servant to Gardner Town, was twenty-one years of age, July 8, 1790, at which time his said master gave him his freedom."
Other colored persons lived in Dublin who had been slaves. Whether they were ever held as slaves here is not known. The names of Cæsar Lewis and Cato Boston are found in the tax-list of 1793. Their names are not inserted in succeeding tax-lists.
A colored man, whose name was Dupee, lived at one time on lot three, range five.
Fortune Little, who lived on lot three, range ten, had been a slave. He was brought from Africa at an early age, and sold to a Mr. Little, of Shirley, Mass., but was liberated, and removed to New Hampshire, when slavery ceased in the Bay State.
Prices of various Articles in 1768-9: - Rye, per bushel, sixty cents ; corn, per bushel, forty-five cents ; potatoes, per bushel, thirteen cents ; oats, per bushel, thirty cents ; but- ter, per pound, nine cents. Beef, two and a half cents per pound. Boards, three dollars thirty-three cents per thou- sand. The foregoing prices are taken from the account-book of Deacon Eli Morse, in which is found the following : -
"June the 11th, 1770. Jonathan Knowlton began one year's service.
"June, 1771. For one year's work, old ten., £112. 10. 0."
This sum was equal to fifty dollars.
June, 1770, John Wight is credited one dollar for three days' work. The credit for two days' work of oxen is fifty- three cents.

HISTORY OF DUBLIN.
In December, 1781, Ebenezer Twitchell was charged fifty-one cents for two bushels of potatoes and "a crowing Bidde."
The Burial-field, or Graveyard, was not enclosed for many years after the settlement of the town. By a vote of the town, a substantial stone wall was built around it. After the new road was made south of the graveyard, the en- trance to it was changed from the north side to the south- west corner. A tomb was prepared, by a vote and at the expense of the town, near the new entrance. It was de- signed and is used for a place of deposit for the dead in the winter. They are taken out and interred in the spring. The burying-ground has been enlarged by extending it to the new road on the west end, and by a piece of land on the south side of the same. In May, 1840, a number of per- sons assembled, as previously agreed upon, bringing various kinds of trees, in setting out which they spent the afternoon. The whole of the ground was not ornamented with trees for want of time. The native growth of trees is left stand- ing at the west end, and spots for new graves are mostly selected in that part of the field.
Correction and Addition. - The school-house in district number seven was built in 1840 instead of 1841, as stated on page 253. The first school in this district was kept in the house of John Stroud, by a Mr. Jonathan White, about the year 1787. The room was furnished with shingle-blocks for seats. The first school-house was built in 1794, and a brick one on the same spot in 1817 or 1818, which was used till the town was districted in 1840. The first female teacher was Mrs. Joseph Bailey, who lived on lot twenty, range nine.
History of District No. 3. - Mr. Lawson Belknap wrote a history of this district, and read it at a meeting of the inhabitants of the same in the winter of 1852-3. It con- tains many interesting facts in reference to. the schools and the several teachers. From this history, which contains fifty pages, closely written, we take the following notices : -
" Asa Bullard, of New Ipswich, was the first person employed as a teacher in district No. 3, in the year 1785. The term of school was six weeks; three in the house of Ivory Perry, and
291
HISTORY OF DUBLIN.
three in the log-house of Richard Gilchrest. Mr. Bullard was a kind and successful teacher. He went to Boston, was principal of the Franklin School; Chief Justice Shaw being his assistant. He graduated at Dartmouth College, studied medicine, and was a suc- cessful practitioner. He was distinguished for his social powers and for his active benevolence. It was said of him, that, at one time, he almost entirely supported four poor families. He was never rich. He died about 1826, much lamented by the poor."
"In the winter of 1786, the school was taught by Mr. Samuel Appleton, of New Ipswich. He was a teacher of superior merit, and gave perfect satisfaction both to parents and pupils. He con- versed freely with his pupils; and his kindness was especially shown towards the little girls, whom he never suffered to wade through the snow-drifts, but carried them over in his arms."
Some statistics in reference to this district, as given by Mr. Belknap, are worthy of consideration : -
"In 1840, the whole population of the district was 121; males 56, females 65. The number of families 21, and of legal voters 24. " In 1845, the population was 110; males 54, females 56; and the number of votes 21.'
" In 1850, the number had decreased to 96, and, on the 17th of June, 1852, the whole number was only 84; males 39, females 45, with only 16 legal voters. At this time (February, 1853), the whole number of inhabitants is only 73; showing a decrease since 1840 of 48.
"The whole number of families in 1840 was 21, and now it is only 14. The present number of legal voters is 15; showing a decrease of 9 since 1840."
OCCUPANTS OF LOTS.
The first person named in the following list of occupants and owners of lots or parts of lots in Dublin, is supposed to have been the first settler. The other names are arranged, as nearly as could be ascertained, in the order of their suc- cession. In this respect there are doubtless many errors, especially with regard to residents. The names of present occupants or owners are in Italics. Many of the lots have been divided and subdivided, and of course many farms are composed of different lots. On many lots there have been several settlements. When a dash (-) is placed before a
292
HISTORY OF DUBLIN.
name, it is meant to indicate the first settler on another part of the lot ; but accuracy in this respect was not attainable; and, where there have been many houses erected on the same lot, we found the difficulty greatly increased. Our arrangement, therefore, cannot, in all cases, be relied upon as correct. There are contradictory statements on the subject, which it has not been in our power to reconcile. Res. is annexed to the names of those who were residents, not owners. Owner annexed to a name shows that the person never resided on the lot, though it was for a time his property.
