The line between Weare and Dunbarton was indefinite. It had a general course north and south over the Kuncanowet hills, but it was far from straight. It was full of " jogs " running east and west to accommodate "men's lands," and had been the occasion of many disputes. To settle these the General Court at its June session, 1853, passed a law to establish the line. It enacted that the old line from the stone monument at the north-east corner of Weare to the stone monument at the south-west corner of Dunbarton, upon the side line of Weare, as it had been recognized and perambulated prior to 1851, should be the true division line between the two towns. It further enacted that the selectmen of either town should put up stone monuments on the line, distant from each other not more than one hundred rods, before Sept. 1, 1853, or the act should be void. This condition was performed and the old line, which is straight upon the roads from the north bound to the south but very crooked between them, now stands.t
At a recent date there was a dispute about the south line between the gore and New Boston. In 1885 it was accurately surveyed and settled after a suit had been begun. Weare rather got the worst of this controversy, and paid as costs to New Boston $112.26, and costs in all about $500.
Weare's boundary lines are "solid " now. If the south-west corner, cut out by Francestown could be added, the symmetry of the town would be complete.
*" Paid Committee on Henniker line $22.00 Paid expense of witnesses $26.00" There was a suit between Samuel Paige, of Weare, and Benjamin Hoit, of Henni- ker, about where the town line was between their land. Both towns took part in this suit, and its settlement settled the town line.

CHAPTER XXXII.
MEETING-HOUSES.
THE Robietown grant, from the Lord Proprietors, required that a meeting-house should be built by the grantees within six years. The French and Indian war excused them from doing this till after 1763, and then we have no knowledge that they built one, but they probably assisted.
The first meeting-house in Weare, of which any record has been found, was built by the Antipedobaptist church. The records of this church have three allusions to the old meeting-house. First, "February 4, 1785, Moses Eastman charged the church with being deceitful in building the meetinghouse ; he was asked to prove it but he could not." Second, May 11, 1785, the church refused to go forward in the ordinance of the supper, because of " brs Simons and Eastman refusing Some time ago to beare their proportion towards building the meeting house," and third, that they had declined to help repair it.
The house, at that time, could not have been recently built, be- cause we find, at a meeting held July 25, 1780, the town " voted to hold the next town meeting at the Anbabtix meeting house," and it does not seem probable it was built at that time, for then was one of the most trying periods of the war; they were furnishing soldiers and paying large bounties ; their money was terribly depreciated, the price of all commodities was very high ; besides, there was no church in Weare, and had not been since 1773. It could not have been built at this last date, for the church was then rent by a terri- ble schism. We conclude that it must have been built soon after the organization of the society, when Elders Tingley, Hovey and Smith were preaching, and Jacob Jewell was deacon for he gave the use of the land on which it stood.
It was an old house in 1784, for it had come to repairing. Dec. 10th of that year the records of the Antipedobaptist church say they "took into consideration the reasons of Brother Moses Easmon for withdrawing from the Lord's supper." The second reason " was brother Jacob Tuxbury said in church meeting that he could not be free with those brethren that would not bear their equal proportion with the church in repairing the meeting house." Brother "Eas- mon " had refused to pay.
297
THE ANTIPEDOBAPTIST MEETING-HOUSE.
1782.]
It stood at the fork of the road, called Fifield's corner, a little more than half a mile west of Meadow brook, on the south side of the Deering road, and west of that to New Boston. It was a small, low, rough building, some say built of logs hewn square, others, that it was a frame house, boarded, clapboarded and shingled. No one can now tell whether it had pews or benches for the worship- ers, or what kind of a pulpit, or how many windows and the size of the glass ; small diamond panes were common then, brought from England.
The door opened to the east, and by it they used to spend the summer Sunday noons. Front of them were the Uncanoonuc hills, far away; south, Joe English and the other heights of New Boston ; west, Mount Misery and the beautiful Odiorne; and north was the wooded Mount Dearborn, with the farms of Caleb Atwood and George Hadley just cleared on its side.
The house had some good preaching in it, for Elders Pelatiah Tingley and Hezekiah Smith were able men. No doubt it had good singing, excellent exhortations and eloquent prayers. Some town-meetings were held in it, as we have seen, and it must have resounded with rough oratory about town affairs, the raising of money and providing soldiers for the war.
It was used till another house was built to take its place, and then, April 23, 1791, Capt. Samuel Philbrick, vendue master, struck it off to Jacob Tuxbury for £8 5s., or about $25 ; a small sum for a meeting-house. They had advertised to sell the land at the same time, but as they could not find that they had any title to it, this part of the sale was adjourned.
The second meeting-house was probably built at Weare Center, by the Quakers, about 1782. Mounts William and Wallingford, Chevey hill from the west, and all the heights upon the northern border, looked down upon the little, plain, cosy Friends' church, nestled in the woods. The town, several times, had their town- meetings in this meeting-house, and it was used by the Friends till about 1795, when they built their North and South houses.
The town filled up rapidly during, and shortly after, the Revolu- tion. Almost every lot, from East Weare north to Sugar hill, was dotted with farm buildings. Of course they must have a meeting- house, and they early went on to build one. " A meeting of ye in- habetence of ye Easterly Part of weare was held at the house of m' John Selley in sª weare on ye 12th of September 1785 ; They

Capt Nathaniel fifield, L' Itha Eaton, Obediah Eaton, Thoms Evens and Sam1 Paige jr were a committee to Sell them." The house was to be fifty-six feet long and forty- two wide, two stories.
Sept. 26th, at the house of Mr. John Selley, the committee " Sold thirty Eight Pews on ye floore for the Summe of five hundred thirty Six Pounds Seventeen Shiling."*
They built the house the next year, 1786. It was ready for preaching in 1787. At a town-meeting, held Sept. 10th, the voters decided to have the public worship, for the north side of the town, at the " New meeting house or as near as can conveniently be and that for the south side at the [old] Annebaptise meeting house or as convenenly as Can be."
This house stood on the high ridge north of East Weare, near the rangeway. It was broad open to the winds that swept down from the west. The high, snowy crest of old Kearsarge kept guard over it ; Dunbarton meeting-house, the long ridge of farms in that town, and the Kuncanowet hills looked over to it from the east, and the broad reach of the Piscataquog, the Uncanoonucs to the left ; Mounts William, Wallingford, and Chevey hill to the right were its companions at the south.
No doubt Amos Wood was the first pastor to preach in it, and he must have had some dedicatory services. Who assisted him, who sang in the choir and who made the dedicatory prayer? The yeomanry assembled within these walls and sat in the great, square pews. They heard the Bible-reading, preaching and the hymns of praise; coming and going to and from church, on horseback in sum- mer, riding on the huge ox-sleds in winter, they saw the great hills and mountains around them, and looked up at the blue sky. They had no thought of the grandeur of their lives, but they must have

ADDING A STEEPLE TO THE MEETING-HOUSE.
1788.]
felt it. Their aspirations, roused by their Sabbath worship, they believed were the communion of the Holy Spirit with their own souls.
Years after, the owners must have a steeple at the east end added .* When the latter was raised, George Philbrick climbed up and stood on top of the post to which the wind vane was to be fixed. They passed him up an old-fashioned case bottle, glass half an inch thick, full of rum. He took a sip, turned the rest into the hole for the iron rod on which the vane would revolve, and shouted : "Thus I fill this church with the holy spirit," then threw the bottle down on to the ledge to break it. It struck on the solid rock, more than fifty feet below, and never broke. They passed him up another; he drank and again threw the bottle down ; that also did not break, and those two bottles are preserved to this day.
Abraham Fifield lived near this early meeting-house. He went out one day and saw his two children up in the steeple. They were playing " see-saw," board over the railing, one child on the end in the belfry, the other on the outer end, more than fifty feet from the ground, teetering up and down in the empty air. Fifield never spoke. With his heart in his mouth, and his knees trembling, with a clinging on feeling, he quickly climbed the steeple stairs, quietly got hold of the board, drew in the child and saved it.
This house stood till about 1854. Two new churches had then been built in East Weare village, and there was no longer any need of it. It was taken down and moved to Manchester, where it was made into a mill, which stood on the site of Baldwin's factory, near the mouth of the Piscataquog.
The "anabaptix " meeting-house in South Weare had got old and was sadly out of repair. It was not good enough for the new generation. The north side of the town had built a fine house, and the south could not afford to be behind. The church and the society had meetings about it in 1788. Plans of the house, to be fifty-six feet long and forty-five feet wide, with the floor and gallery, were made, and Jonathan Atwood, Caleb Atwood, Samuel Bailey and Asa Sargent were chosen a committee to sell the pews and raise the funds. Oct. 2d, thirty-six men bid off the pews in the body of the house, at prices ranging from £8 7s. to £18 12s., the whole amounting to
* The steeple was on the east end, veering a little to the south; it made a large entry, and two flights of stairs were in it.

£460 16s .* By the articles of sale, one-fourth part was to be paid in cash, and the rest in such material as the building committee may want to finish the house: "either glass, nails, Rum or lime will be excepted by them in place of cash."f The pews in the gallery were not sold till 1792.}
They could not agree upon the spot to set it, and a committee consisting of Col. Moses Nichols, of Amherst, who led a detach- ment of General Stark's little army at the battle of Bennington, Timothy Gibson and Capt. Thomas Nichols, were chosen to "pitch the place." They selected the site on the hill, west of Meadow brook, where the present meeting-house now stands.§

As soon as the pews were sold, a committee was chosen to give deeds of them, receive notes in payment therefor and carry on the work. The house was built in 1789. Jesse Woodbury, an old sea- captain, Ichabod Eastman, Ezekiel Cram and Samuel Philbrick* were the building committee, and they appointed Mr. Eastman master mechanic. He was an excellent workman ; the frame, fitted by the scribe-rule, came together perfectly; not a mistake was

MOSES NICHOLS"
* SAMUEL PHILBRICK was among the leading citizens of Weare in the time of the Revolution. He then commanded the militia company and greatly aided in for- warding the soldiers from our town. He was also a member of the town Committee of Safety, and did much to promote a loyal feeling in the community and suppress the tories. He was a substantial, well-to-do farmer, and was one of the only two men in town who were able to have meat on their tables every day in the year. His ancestors in this country were as follows :-
1. Thomas Philbrick, with his wife and six children, emigrated from Lincoln- shire, England, in company with Governor Winthrop, Sir Richard Saltonstall and others. They arrived in Massachusetts Bay, June 12, 1630, after a tempestuous pas- sage of seventy-six days. They attempted a settlement where is now Salem, Mass., but in July, with Sir Richard and others, they went to a place now called Watertown, where he remained until 1645, when, with his family, he moved to Hampton, N. H., - his eldest son, James, having previously settled there in 1639. Thomas Philbrick died in 1667, aged near a hundred years.
2. Thomas Philbrick, Jr., third son of the immigrant, was born in England in 1624. He settled in that part of Hampton, now Seabrook, about 1651; and the farm he owned has ever since been inherited by his descendants of the Philbrick name.
3. Samuel Philbrick, the third child of Thomas, Jr., was born March 19, 1660, and died Feb. 22, 1694, leaving one son.
4. Thomas, the only child of Samuel, was born in 1684, and died Feb. 15, 1747. He had five children.
5. Abner, the first child of Thomas, was born Jan. 21, 1708; married Mehitable Stuart, Nov. 10, 1731, and to them were born eight children.
6. SAMUEL PHILBRICK, the subject of this sketch, was the son of Abner and Me- hitable (Stuart) Philbrick, and was born July 13, 1734, in Seabrook. He lived on the old homestead farm with his father for the first thirty-six years of his life. He pos- sessed a vigorous and enterprising mind, was a strict observer of inen and things, and naturally had a speculative, trading disposition. Hc dealt in live stock to a considerable extent, purchasing largely in Worcester County, Mass., and either sold them on the hoof or butchered and salted them for the market. Jan. 29, 1760, he loaded the schooner Good Fortune, of which he owned a fourth part, with beef, tal- low, hides, mutton and pork, and sailed out of Hampton river for Halifax. Daniel Carr was master, George Carr mate, and Daniel Crain, Robert Miller and Samnel Perkins seamen. He went himself as a passenger. They had a very stormy time, and in a few days the master was lost overboard. Mr. Philbrick at once took charge; he encouraged the seamen, and such had been his observation and experience, that he navigated his craft to Halifax in safety, and returned at the end of seven weeks, having made a profitable voyage.
He purchased his land in Weare in 1762, cleared a few acres, built a framed house, and moved into it from Seabrook Nov. 12, 1770. He built the present Philbrick house on the farm in 1779. Mr. Philbrick was appointed captain of the Fourth company of the Ninth regiment, State militia, Sept. 5, 1775; was a member of the town Committec of Safety in 1775, '78 and '80, marched with a part of his company to Number Four, Charlestown, at the time of Burgoyne's invasion, held various town offices, acted on numerous committees, represented the town in the General Court in 1782-83, was onc of the leading men in building the old south meeting-house in 1788-89, and held a justice of the peace's commission twenty years.
He married Phebe Sanborn, of Hampton Falls, Jan. 3, 1758, and they had six chil- dren : Sarah, David, Jonathan, Samuel, Joseph and Mehitable, all of whom grew up, married, and had families. He died in Weare Dec. 28, 1806; his wife, March 5, 1816.

BUILDING THE MEETING-HOUSE.
1789.]
made. The raising was the grandest ever had in Weare. Nearly . every man, woman and child in town came to it. They had a mag- nificent dinner, free to all, and plenty of cider, milk toddy, egg-nog, punch and other drinks of ardent spirit to wash it down. Yet the people of Weare were very temperate, compared with those of other towns. The good folks of Amherst drank eight barrels of rum when they raised their meeting-house, while those of our town, to their credit be it said, drank only one. The finish of the house was in excellent style; the ornamental work about the windows, doors and pulpit being very fine. A magnificent sounding-board was hung above the minister's head, and small children, for years, were informed that " if the minister told a lie God would drop it and kill him dead." If that statement had been true, what a lot of funerals there would have been !
The pulpit was very high, a sort of castle from which the preacher could fire at the congregation ; seats for the deacons and elders were in front of it, and anxious seats where the new converts could come forward and kneel for prayers. Some of the pews were oblong, and some nearly square. They built a pew for the singers in the gallery, and tried to buy another for them near by it, and then they finished off an "elders' pew," so that those high function- aries might sit together.
They had no fire-place nor stove in the house, and in winter the minister preached with his cloak or old-style surtout on, his hands in woolen mittens, while the women, to keep their feet warm, carried the foot-stove of those days, with a dish of live coals in it. These were replenished at the nearest neighbor's at inter- mission time.
The house was not entirely completed for several years. The proprietors would not accept it from the building committee, after the latter thought they had got it done, till they had built the gallery slips and hung three seats in every pew. These were turned up when they rose to sing or stood in time of prayer. When such exercises came to an end the seats were thrown down with a great slam, sounding like an irregular discharge of musketry.
The purchasers of the pews found much of the material for the church. Capt. George Hadley furnished all he owed and more too. The committee paid him £28 to balance his account. Capt. Samuel Philbrick provided lumber, wrought nails, fifty feet of glass, lime, " lam;" beef, corn, peas, rum, six and one-half gallons at one time,

and thirty-two quarts for the raising, to the amount of £46 3s. 1d., enough to pay for his four and one-half pews and have £12 6s. 10d. coming back to him .*
The house was in a condition to use, late in autumn, and Amos Wood preached the first sermon in it. Humphrey Nichols, Samuel Gregg and Ebenezer Bailey, Jr., were chosen to take care of the house for one year; and Moses Quimby to sweep it four times a year and keep the key. For these services he was to be paid six shil- lings. A "kee " keeper was chosen for many years.
