TOWN OF WINDHAM.
The principal manufacturing carried on in the town is at a little hamlet on Mill brook, where are located a grist-mill, chair-stock factory, and a black- smith shop.
Ezra Pierce's grist-mill .- The first grist-mill erected in the town was built by a Mr. Hamilton, on road 29, upon the site now occupied by Pierce's mill. Mr. Hamilton run the mill a number of years, during which time it burned to the ground, and was rebuilt. He was finally killed by a fall from the bridge. Captain Daniel Cobb, son of Colonel Daniel Cobb, and father of Mrs. William Harris, subsequently purchased the property, ruuning the business about ten years, when he, too, was killed, or died of wounds received by being caught in some of the machinery. Mr. Pierce, the present proprietor, has enlarged the mill so that it now has three runs of stones, with the capacity for grind- ing 15,000 bushels of grain per annum, and has also lately put in machinery for manufacturing chair stock.
Albert O. Mason's saw-mill, located on road 29, has the capacity for saw- ing about 50,000 bushels of grain per year.
As Windham was a part of Londonderry until after 1792, the sketch of its early history is necessarily identical with that of the early history of that town, as detailed on page 238. Among its early settlers, however, may be men- tioned John Woodburn, Deacon Edward Aiken, and James McCormack. The town was duly organized, March 14, 1796, when James Aiken was chosen town clerk ; Peter Aiken, constable ; and James Aiken, John Burnap, and Ben- jamin Pierce, selectmen. The first justice of the peace was James Aiken, in 1797, and John Aiken was the first representative, in 1805. The first set- tled minister was Rev. John Lawton, who received the ministerial grant, which includes a part of the present site of Windham village. The first house that could be called an hotel was that of John Woodburn, where L. S. White's residence now stands, for in it most of the early settlers made their home until they could erect a log habitation.
Deacon John Woodburn, Jr., did not attain an advanced age, though he did much for the advancement of the town in its early days. His bones rest in the little cemetery near where the old church stood. Deacon John, Jr., settled upon the farm now owned by Samuel Mack. His wife was Mercy, daughter of Moses Davis, and reared a large family. Capt. Samuel Wood- buin was born in 1781, married Lucy Wilkins and reared eight children. He was captain of a militia company, whose training ground was upon the Aikin farm. Samuel Clark Woodburn, residing on road 20, is the only one of his children now living, and who, in 1878-'79, represented the town in the gen- eral assembly, and has also held most of the other town trusts. Deacon David Woodburn, youngest son of John, Sr., was the first postmaster in the town, and bore his share of the town trusts with credit and fidelity.
Benjamin Pierce, from Westmoreland, N. H., came to Windham, about 1783, in company with Abial Whitman, and both located in the southeastern part of the town. Mr. Pierce made his pitch and erected a log-house on road
