the sixth range, a lot made from the common lands, to compensate him for his loss. The Center Square was made up from parts of lots numbered sixteen and twenty-five in the fourth range, and one and forty in the fifth range.
The town proprietors held several meetings during the first of the winter, and Feb. 25, 1750, they met at the inn of Benjamin Sweet in Hampton Falls, for the annual election of officers, and the transaction of any other proper business. Capt. Samuel Prescutt was chosen moderator, Meshech Weare proprietors' clerk for one year and till another shall be chosen and sworn, and Meshech Weare, Capt. Samuel Prescutt and Dea. Isaiah Bachelder a commit- tee to call meetings of ye proprietors as there shall be occasion, agreeable to the same methods as ye last committee. They then chose Ichabod Robie, Esq., Pain Row, Jacob Stanyan, Meshech Weare and John Sanborn a committee to go to Robiestown and look out the most convenient place for a way to said tract of land, or in any part thereof, and mark out the same in order for clearing it, and to do this business as soon as the [season] will admit .*
This committee did the work, all coming to our unbroken wilder- ness in early spring, and probably occupied the camps of the sur- veying party of the previous fall. They looked out a route and perhaps lightly marked it, but they could not have done much work on it. Ichabod Robie, Esq"., charged £25, Pain Row, £15, Jacob Stanyan £20, Meshech Weare £12, and John Sanborn £8, for their services. t

The committee to call proprietors' meetings gave notice March 26, 1750, that one would be held on Thursday, April 5th, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at Sweet's inn, to do these things: 1. To pay their rates or taxes, 2. to vote that the rights of those who do not pay be forfeited, 3. to sell the same, 4. to vote to fence in the whole of Robiestown and the manner to do it, and 5. to see what is best to be done to get settlers .* Probably some genius thought fencing was cheap up in their wild woods, and it would not cost much to build a brush fence about the whole tract, but what they were going to keep out or in, in their new town, is not easy to see.
They met at the time set, chose Dea. Jonathan Fifield moderator, voted that rights which do not pay charges shall be forfeited,t and then adjourned for a fortnight, that notice might be given to those who live near from the pulpit in this place each Sabbath, to those at a distance by letter,# that all who do not pay their rates will forfeit their rights.
Meshech Weare wrote and signed the pulpit notice. It was read from the pulpit by the minister on two Sundays, and it was to let all know that the town proprietors had determined at the meeting April 5th that the rights of all such as did not pay their proportion of the charges that have arisen within fourteen days from that time,

HISTORY OF WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
[1750.
The town proprietors saw at once that the most difficult condi- tion in the grant was to get the settlers, build the houses and clear the land ; and to get the first two or three men to go would be the hardest of all. So they were prepared to be very free in their offers of bounties.
Two of the proprietors, Jeremiah Bennett and Timothy Blake, appreciating the situation, were inclined to go and settle, and the proprietors, at a meeting held May 10, 1750, voted that if they would go at once they would find six men to help them two weeks, and would also pay them the same wages for the same time. When they took their families there each should have £50 old tenor and the cost of moving; if they staid a year each should have £50 more and if two year san additional £50, one-half at the first and one-half at the end of the second year, and the proprietors, that they might have the funds, also voted that each owner of a right should pay to the committee by next Thursday night 20s. old tenor .*
Henry Robiet and Pain Row were the committee to carry out this vote. The men were raised and soon set out for Robiestown. They came on the same route taken by Governor Belcher when he visited " the mighty falls at Skeag,"# in the time of the line case, 1737, through Kingston, Chester, Londonderry to Derryfield, and then either through Dunbarton or else up the Piscataquog.
The men were from Hampton Falls and were John Louril [Lov- erin ], John Tilton, William Swain, Jonathan Swain, Caleb Bennett
* " Whereas Jer. Bennett & Tim Blake Jun' Incline to Settle on sd tract of Land for their Encouragement

+ HENRY ROBIE, son of Ichabod the first named grantee, was also one of the grantees, and was one of the managers of the business of the proprietors. He was born Oct. 19, 1714, and married Abigail Butler, Oct. 9, 1734. He lived with his father at Hampton Falls, and had nine children : Daniel, born Jan. 4, 1735, Ichabod, May 25, 1736, Susanna, Jan. 30, 1738, John, Oct. 9, 1740, John, July 23, 1742, Samuel, Sept. 26, 1745, Anna, May 23, 1748, Abigail, Nov. 20, 1749, Henry, Oct. 16, 1752, and Nathan, Sept. 18, 1758.
John Robic, born July 23, 1742, came to Wearc to live, and was town clerk for more than twenty-five years, and also selectman, representative, and for many years a justice of the peace.
The Robie family in Weare runs as follows : Henry1, John2 (killed by the Indians), Ichabod3 (the first grantee), Henry4, John" (the town clerk), JohnG. The Robie records were burned in 1833.

and Pain Row. Jeremiah Bennett and Timothy Blake went with them. Each wrought twelve days on Bennett's land, lot twenty- four, range six. They felled trees, cleared land and built a " Hous or Houson" on it. William Walker spent three days on the expedition, perhaps carrying supplies. The workmen each got £1 10s. a day, while Walker was paid extra, £5 10s. in all .*
Another meeting of the proprietors was soon called, for the work must go on. It was held June 11, 1750, at the usual place. They voted to raise eight more men to go to Robiestown, and among the things they were to do were to cover the house that was built on Bennett's lot with long clapboards, build a chimney back and fit the house so that a family can move into it as soon as may be.t
John Loverin and Pain Row were the committee to raise the eight men. They went themselves, and along with them were Brad- bury Green, Benjamin Tilton, Enoch Sanborn, Timothy Walker, Eleazer Quimby and Jeremiah Bennett, the one who thought to

settle. These men each worked eleven days at £1 10s. a day; Joseph Hull assisted three days in some manner and was paid at the same rate; Caleb Sanborn received £3 5s. for " nayls," and Benjamin Sweet, innkeeper and blacksmith, £2 17s. July 26, 1750, Samuel Prescutt and Joseph Bachelder, a committee for that purpose, looked over the account of Henry Robie and Pain Row and that of John Loverin and Pain Row, " the two former committees," and found that their accounts for the above business amounted to £294 22s.
This money was in part squandered, for once going to Robies- town seems to have been enough for Timothy Blake, and two trips perhaps satisfied Jeremiah Bennett. It is certain that neither of them ever came to our town to settle, and what became of the " Hous or Houson " we have not been able to learn.
But the proprietors kept at work. At a meeting held soon after they decided they would assist any person or persons, to the num- ber of six that will now go to settle in Robiestown, with eight men to go to work with him or them in building and clearing for a fortnight; that the settlers shall have provisions for one year at the charge of the proprietors, if they stay there so long, and if they take their families they also to have provisions for the same time if they stay ; the proprietors will pay the expense of their moving there. Money was raised for this purpose, £3 on each right, and Pain Row and Henry Robie were a committee to carry the above into effect .* But these tempting offers were of no avail. Not a soul accepted them and moved into the township.
The committee, John Loverin and Pain Row, who went with six men to finish off the Bennett house, were instructed to cut out a way where they can find the land most suitable, from the way that goes by "Amuskiege," up to the Center Square of the township and
* " Voted That any person or persons to ye number of six that will now go and Set- tle upon sd Tract of Land shall be assisted at the Charge of the Proprietors with Eight men to go with and work for him or them that go to settle to assist them in Building & Clearing for a fortnight: that those who go to Settle shall be Supplied withi Pro- visions at the Charge of ye proprietors from the time they go to work there for one year if they Continue there so Long and if any person will move their families there that their families also shall be Supplied with Sufficient provisions for their Support the Same time if they Continue there And also the Charge of inoving sd families shall be paid by ye proprietors And in order that money may be Raised to pay men that shall go to work & for provisions as abovesaid Voted yt Each propr forthwith pay 3-0-0 old Tenr to A & B as a Comtee who are to pay the same to those persons who go to Settle as above from time to time as they have oeeasion to Carry forward the Settlement as above mentioned & pay those men that go to assist at their first going up & Render an aeeot from time to time to ye proprs

to the mill lot, and to the house that is built on the Jeremiah Ben- nett lot .* That they worked on some way seems certain ; may be on the one Ichabod Robie and Meshech Weare marked out; that it started from the road that went by "Amuskiege" is also certain, but where it entered our township no one is quite certain. Several routes have been suggested :-
First, that it followed the old Indian trail from Amoskeag falls, up Black brook in Dunbarton, by Gorham pond, then over the Kuncanowet hills, striking the Piscataquog near what is now East Weare, and then up the left bank of the river by the mill lot to near the center rangeway, there crossing the stream to Center Square. Many think there is no doubt but that this was the route.
Second, it might have gone from Amoskeag falls up the north bank of the Piscataquog, near where the road is now, through Goffs- town to East Weare, and then on our first route to Center Square. There is a record that very early there was " a track " that way, and Col. John Goffe once followed it when he had been to the head waters of the Piscataquog hunting. f
Third, that it went up the old mast road then said to have been cut out on the south bank of the Piscataquog, through Goffstown and a corner of New Boston, and up the river as far as opposite Raymond cliff, where the surveyor of the king's woods had already been after masts for the royal navy. It is told, that one was cut there with the broad arrow on it that took eighty oxen to haul out, and the pair of oxen on the sled tongue was killed going over a knoll. Thence it went by the above route to Center Square.
Another route might have been from the valley of the Piscata- quog over Barnard hill and up the east slope of Mount William, where it forked, one path going to the mill lot and the other to Center Square. And still another might have crossed the Piscata- quog where Oil Mill village is now, thence over the ridge to the Otter, and up the latter stream to the path just mentioned on Mount William. There is an old track here, still passable, for most of the way, which has existed time out of mind.

HISTORY OF WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
[1751.
In 1751 the subject of how to make the way passable as soon as possible was discussed,* and the town proprietors, sometime before June 6, 1752,t sent twenty-four men to clear it .¿ The highway they made was only a blazed path or line of spotted trees at first, then the logs were cut out, the undergrowth, hobble bushes, “ trip wood " and wind-falls removed, and a good foot-path made ; after this, for a long time, it was only the roughest kind of a cart track for oxen with sleds, or a horse with an old-fashioned jumper, some- times called a "horse barrow"; the latter was two slim poles for thills, reaching ten feet or so behind the horse, to which were pinned at the rear end several cross pieces for a platform on which things could be placed and hauled. It was a great many years be- fore there' was a decent road in our town. People who traveled through the woods with oxen or horses had to carry an axe with them to cut out the wind-falls that were constantly tumbling into the path.§
* A notice of a meeting given Aug. 13, 1751, says, "To take such methods as shall be tho't best by the Proprictors for Clearing and making passable as soon as pos- sible the way which has been looked out by the Committee chosen for that Purpose to the Center of said tract of Land."
t " Voted That such of ye Proprietors as did not go to clear ye way have each of them liberty to go to build said Bridge," under date of June 16, 1752. The meeting at which this vote was passed was called June 6, 1752.
