HILLSBOROUGH IN THE WARS.
So much space in our histories is filled with descriptions of wars that the accomplishments of peace find little more than brief mention. So we are constantly reading of heroes and heroines, while almost unheard of are the patriots of peace. The sons of Hillsborough, in times of war, never failed to do their duty, and there has not been a campaign of any importance in which the town has not been honorably represented, and if the period came' before its settlement, her ancestors names helped to make the roll of honor.
Among Captain Tyng's "Snow-Shoe Scouts," 1701-1702, were a Spalding, Blood, Richardson and Pierce, all names fam- iliar in early Hillsborough.
In Lovewell's War, 1725, were ancestors of the Keyes and Robbins.
In 1739, the year of the first settlement in Number Seven, when Great Britain declared war against Spain, and in answer to the call of the mother country, Massachusetts sent five companies of one hundred men each, to Cuba, Ephraim Fletcher of West- ford, aged 30, enlisted and of the 50 of these 500 who lived to return he was one. Soon after he settled in Hillsborough, then

Number Seven. Two others, whose descendants settled in the town, were William Skinner and Oliver Spalding, who signed receipts for bounty, and went with the little army that never came back.
In the first expedition against Cape Breton, 1745, were two from among the fugitives of old Number Seven, Stevens and Mayhew.
In the French and Indian War, 1754 to 1762, Captain Bald- win and others figured conspicuously. For the Crown Point expedition of 1757 were three men who soon after settled in Hillsborough, James Taggart, John Carr and Alexander Mc- Clure. In another company were James McColley, Thomas Lancy, Samuel Gibson, Josiah Parker. A part of the regiment consisted of one hundred carpenters and three companies of Rangers sent to Halifax to serve under Earl of Loudon were Samuel Bradford, William McNiel, James Ellingwood, Daniel Wilkins and John Dutton.
In the Revolution she gave her Baldwin and others.
In the War of 1812 her General McNiel was among the leaders.
The Florida War she furnished a Pierce and a McNiel, the last giving his life.
In the Mexican War her favorite son, Gen. Franklin Pierce, won distinction.
In the Civil War the names of Grimes and others stand out conspicuously.
Numbered among the heroes of the Spanish-American War is the name of Walter Scott West.
In the recent World War the golden stars stand for Lieutenant Smith, and Privates Bailey, Bemis, Dennis J. Bossie, Dougherty, Heath, Legasse, Marshall and Young.
An honorable record truly.

COLLECTORS.
Constables, of whom there were usually two, were the col- lectors of taxes until 1793, when it became the custom to "van- due the taxes to the lowest bidder," and these bids sometimes ran as low as five dollars. Sometimes collectors were appointed according to vote of the town, by the selectmen. Election of these officials by popular vote began in 1793.

REPRESENTATIVES.
In 1775, in order to get a representation from the smaller towns in the state, provision was made to class or unite certain towns for the purpose of selecting officials as their Representa- tives. Under this arrangement Deering, Society Land (since in- corporated as Bennington), Henniker and Hillsborough proceeded November 14, to elect a suitable person for this office, and Capt. Joseph Symonds, of this town was the choice of the meetings held on this day. Captain Symonds was elected for one year, and at the end of his term Capt. Timothy Gibson, of Henniker, was chosen as his successor. In 1778, Captain Symonds was again elected, and in 1779, Isaac Andrews, and in 1780, James McColley, all of Hillsborough, were the choice, so this town cer- tainly was given fair representation. In 1781, Deering fur- nished the representative in Robert Alcock, and in 1782, Captain Symonds of Hillsborough was chosen.
December 16, 1782, the voters of Hillsborough and Henni- ker met at the house of Ensign Elijah Rice, of the former town, and chose Lieut. Robert Wallace representative for two years. He was re-elected for the same length of time in 1784.
In 1785, Hon. Benjamin Pierce of this town was chosen for two years and then he was succeeded by William Wallace, of Henniker, 1788-89; 1790-91, Benjamin Pierce.
