Exeter, for many years, has been considered a wealthy town, but its citizens have had the reputation of contrib- uting as much money to assist in building western railroads and cities, as any town in the State, in proportion to its wealth. It is to be hoped that it has worked no material injury to their own town; but if it has not, it is an exception to the general rule in such cases.

of the Indians a tract of country between the Merrimack and Pis- cataqua, extending back some fifty miles. The deeds of these lands were signed by Passaconaway, chief sagamore of the Pennacooks, living on the Merrimack, and three chiefs of other tribes in this section of New England. The consideration for these lands con- sisted in "coats, shirts, and ket- tles." In 1633, the authorities of Portsmouth and Dover, agreed with Wheelwright, that his pro- posed town at Squamscot Falls, should be called Exeter. No set- tlement was commenced however, until April 3, 1638, when Wheel- wright and others formed them- selves, into a body politic, chose their magistrate, and bound them- selves by vote to sacred obedience. In 1642, Exeter was annexed to Massachusetts and Wheelwright, by reason of his sentence, was compelled to flee from his new settlement, and from his brethren in the same religious faith-some time after this, he was restored to his former privileges, and was or- dained at Hampton, in 1647, and preached there eleven years.


The first settlers in Exeter, suffered more or less by Indian depredations for many years. In 1675 one person was killed and another made prisoner; in 1695, two person were killed. In 1697, the Indians had laid their plans to make a general massacre of the inhabitants, and a total destruction of the town. They were concealed in the thickets near by, preparing for a vigorous attack. They were frightened from their designs, by hearing the reports of several guns, which led them to believe they were discovered, and they made


a precipitate retreat, killing one person, wounding another, and carrying away one child. The guns were fired to frighten a few women and children, who had gone into the fields after straw- berries. In 1707, another person was killed; and in the spring of 1709, Samuel Stevens, William Moody and two sons of Jeremy Gilman were taken prisoners at "Pickpocket mills." In 1710, the Indians killed Colonel Winthrop Hilton, a meritorious citizen, with two others, and took two prisoners. Many others were killed or taken captives, and much property de- stoyed by these savage incursions. The town as originally surveyed, comprised within its borders, Epping, New-Market, South New- Market, Brentwood, Fremont, and Stratham. All of these towns, with the exception of Stratham, were formed into separate organ- izations, prior to 1775. Its popula- tion in 1775 was 1741.


Exeter has, during all periods of its history, contained among its citizens, eminent and useful men. Hon. Samuel Tenney, General Nathaniel Peabody, Hon. Nicholas Gilman, General Nathaniel Fol- some, Hon. Jeremiah Smith, Hon. John Taylor Gilman, Hon. George Sullivan, Hon. Tristram Shaw, Hon. John S. Wells, and Hon. John Sullivan, have filled high and honorable positions, both in the State and Nation. It has its citizens to-day, who stand high in the estimation of their townsmen, and of the people in the State.

of this mountain is covered with woods, the other is almost a solid ledge, affording a very extensive view of the south-west.


Minerals. In the easterly part of this town is a quarry of free- stone, which has been extensively wrought. It is of a dark greyish color, and, when polished, rcsem- bles the variegated marble of Ver- mont. Specimens of rock crystal are found in the south part, and plumbago occurs in the north part of the town.


Village. Near the center of this town is the very pleasant village of Francestown. It is neatly built, the streets being wide, and, in many places, beautifully shaded.

rived its name from Frances, the wife of Governor Wentworth. It was first settled by John Carson, a Scotchman, in 1760, and was called New Boston Addition. It was in- corporated by its present name June 8, 1772. Mr. James Wood- bury was a soldier in the old French war, and engaged beside of Gen. Wolfe when he was killed at the siege of Quebec.

FRANCONIA.


GRAFTON COUNTY. Franconia is considered one of the mountain towns in northern New-Hampshire. Along some of the streams, there is considerable interval land, which is very fertile and productive, yield- ing fine crops of oats, potatoes, and hay. Large quantities of Maple Sugar are annually manufactured here.


ยท Streams and Ponds. Several branches of the Lower Ammonoos- ic have their rise in the mountain- ious tracts on the east. Ferrin's


Pond near "Notch " is the source of "Middle Branch," one of the principal branches of Pemigewas- set River. Echo Lake, about one mile in length and three quarters of a mile in width, lies at the foot of Mount Lafayette. It is almost entirely protected, from violent winds, by lofty hills which surround it on all sides. The report of a gun fired upon its shores may be heard distinctly several times, thus imi- tating successive discharges of musketry.


Scenery. The varied scenery in and around Franconia is not to be excelled in any section of the White Mountain district. No visitor has thoroughly finished his tour to the Mountains until he visits Franconia and views its natural curiosities. The Franconia mountain pass, pre- sents to the traveler some of the wildest scenery in the country, and must ever remain as one of Na- ture's curiosities where the grand and beautiful are so perfectly blend- ed in its wild and rugged form. The " Old Man of the Mountain ;" " the Basin ;" "the Flume," are all worthy of a visit from lovers of grand natural scenery. For a more particular description see "Notes on mountains in New-Hampshire."


Summer Resort. Franconia has become quite a resort for summer tourists, about seven hundred per- sons permanently board there through the warm season of the year, besides the transient visitors who are constantly going and com- ing. There are three hotels, besides seven or eight large summer board- ing houses for the accommodation of visitors. Almost every house has a few boarders. There has been a large Iron Manufactory in success- ful operation for a number of years,


160


NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTEER.


but at the present time it is not doing any business. The ore which has supplied this manufactory has been taken from a rich mine, within the limits of the town of Lisbon. 250 tons of pig iron, and from 200, to 300 tons of bar iron were the an- nual productions of this establish- ment.


Employments. Agriculture, and keeping summer boarders are the principal employments of the peo- ple. 280 tons of starch, 150,000 clapboards, 410,000 shingles, and 1,450,000 feet of boards, &c., are an- nually produced, besides bobbins, cabinet work, boots and shoes, iron work &c. (See tables.)


Resources. Productions of the soil, $68,428; mechanical labor, $25,500; stocks, bonds, and money at interest, $18,675; from summer tourists, $120,000; stock in trade, $19,450; deposits in savings banks, $4,165; professional business, $10, 000.


Churches and Schools. Freewill Baptist, There are five schools. Average length of schools for the year, ten weeks.


Hotels. Profile, Lafayette, and Valley Houses. The Profile House is the largest and the best patron- ized house in the White Mountain region. It is no uncommon thing for the house to have from four to five hundred guests at one time. It is enough to say that their ac- commodations are not sufficient for the demands made on them in the season of summer travel to the mountains. The other hotels are fine, commodious houses, with accommodating landlords, and have a fair patronage.


First Settlements. The town was originally called Morristown, and was granted to Isaac Searle and


others, February 14, 1764. The first settlement was made by Cap- tain Artemas Knight, Samuel Bar- nett, Zebedee Applebee, and oth- ers, in 1774.

Railroad. White Mountain Rail- road passes through Lisbon, the town adjoining on the west, dis- tant about five miles.


FRANKLIN.


MERRIMACK COUNTY. In pro- portion to its population, Franklin is the most important manufactur- ing town in the State. It was formed from four towns, Decem- ber 24, 1828, viz. a small portion of Andover, which bordered on the south-western bank of the Pemigewasset River, a small gore of Sanbornton, lying between the Pemigewasset and Winnipiseo- gee Rivers; a portion of North- field, bordering on the south side of the Winnipiseogee, and the east bank of the Merrimack Riv- er; and a portion of Salisbury which bordered on the west- ern side of the Merrimack .and Pemigewasset rivers, thus cutting off Andover from the Pemigewas- set, and Sanbornton and Salisbury from the Merrimack.


The whole area taken from these four towns, only formed a small township of about 9,000 acres. The soil, on the river, is generally sandy, but produces fine crops, when properly cultivated,


161


FRANKLIN.


and some of the best farms in the county may be found in this town. The Webster farm lies in that por- tion which formerly belonged to Salisbury. The father of Daniel Webster removed to this' farm and built the main house now standing. There is now (1873) growing in the front yard a large elm, which was set out by Daniel Webster, when he was a boy.


June 17, 1873, through an invi- tation given by the citizens of Franklin to the Webster Club of Boston, who were the old, tried friends of Daniel Webster, and to the Governor and Council, and members of the Legislature of New-Hampshire, and other people in the surrounding towns, there was a meeting at this old home- stead for the purpose of calling to mind the days in the past, when Webster made his annual visit, with invited friends, to the place of his birth, his boyhood haunts, and the graves of his father and mother.


The Hon. Judge Nesmith of Franklin, presided over the cer- emonies of the day, and, on tak- ing the chair, gave a short and touching biographical sketch of the Webster family.


The speeches, made on this occa- sion by Judge Thomas, Hon. Geo. S. Hilliard, Hon. Peter Harvey of Boston, and Governor Straw and John H. George, Esq., of this State, were very interesting and impressive, and will long be re- membered by those who had the pleasure of hearing them.


A few years ago this farm was purchased for the purpose of es- tablishing an Orphans' Home. It is now in successful operation, under the immediate care of Rev.


D. A. Mack as superintendent, who has been very active for its success from the day of its incep- tion. The citizens cannot give too much credit to Judge G. W. Nes- mith for his energetic efforts to establish this institution and have it located in Franklin. Nathaniel White, Esq., of Concord, Hon. Dexter Richards, of Newport, and many others, who will be here- after mentioned, deserve commen- dation for their liberal donations of money to this humane work. The officers of the home are mak- ing extensive improvements by erecting new buildings, &c.


Pond. Webster Pond is situat- ed near the Northern Railroad, in the Andover portion of the town. It is a beautiful sheet of water, and is much resorted to in the summer months, for pic-nics and parties.


Village. Near the confluence of the Pemigewasset and the Winnipiseogee rivers, thus form- ing the Merrimack, is the large manufacturing village of Frank- lin. But few, if any, towns in the State have made such rapid pro- gress for the past fifteen years, in population, manufacturing, and wealth-it having increased in each nearly one hundred per cent. The water power in this village, with one exception, is the best and most reliable in the State. The principal manufactories are on the Winnepiseogee, which nev- er fails, having as a reservoir the Winnipiseogee and Winnesquam Lakes. There is an immense power on both rivers at this point still unimproved.


The principal manufacturers are the Winnipiseogee Paper Compa- ny, who manufacture book and
