SOMERSET .- Town in Windham County. New Hampshire grant of 23,040 acres to Thomas Denny and sixty-one associates, Sept. 9, 1761, (State Papers N. H., 26:431). Parts provisionally annexed to Wilmington and Stratton, (Laws of 1858, p. 49; 1859, p. 51). A diligent search of the records of Stratton has failed to disclose acceptance on her part. However, the undisputed facts appear to be that Somerset lost a strip off the east side about two miles wide, which went at first, 1858-9, to Wilmington and to Stratton. By subsequent legislation, Laws of 1868, page 310, and 1869, page 289, that part previously set to Wil- mington, (which extended from the south northerly to the northwest corner of Dover) was passed on to Dover, and Stratton today holds, from the original Somerset, the remaining or northerly end constituting a tract about two miles square.
