Goffstown originally extended to the Merrimac on the east and included also a portion of Hooksett lying west of the Men imac. 1 his terri- tory in connection with six other townships, was granted by the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, in 1728, to the soldiers, or heirs-at-Iaw of the soldiers ol the King Philip or Narragansett War, which ended fifty years before the grant was made. It is probable, therefore, that very few of these soldiers were then living. In June, 1733, it seems these grantees, (about 840 in number) met on the town common in Boston for thepurpose of dividing the land thus given them. They formed them- selves into seven separate societies, and each society then organized and chose an executive committee to look after its interests. These committees met in Boston, Oct. 17, 6 HISTORICAL. 1733, at which tirae the members of the several townships, from one to seven, were placed in a hat and successively drawn. Goflfstowu was drawn as Narragansett, No. 4, which name it bore for several years. But this was not the foundino^ of the town. The terri- tory of New Hampshire had been gTauted to John Mason, an English naval officer; and was claimed b3^ liis heirs, now referred to as the Masonian proprietors. These men estab- lished their claim, in opposition to Massachusetts claims, and made a orant of the townsliip of (ioffstown (Goffs is the Celtic for Smith) to Rev. Thomas Parker, of Dracut; Colonel Sampson Stoddard and John Buttertield of Chelmsford; Joseph Blanchard,Robt. Davidson, John Coombs and James Karr, of Dunstable; John Goffe. and John Goffe Jr., James Walker, Mathew Patten, John ]\Iooie, Timothy Corlise, Thomas Farmer, Zaccheus Cutting, Samuel Patten, Alexan- der Walker, all of Sowhegan East (or Bedford) ; Thos. Foll- ensbee, Joshua Follensbee, Caleb Paige, Beni. Richards (a brave Indian fighter) Peter Moise, Caleb Enier^', John Dow, Peter Harriman of Haverhill ; Abram Men-ill, Benj. Stearns, John Jewell, Ephraim Martin, Nathaniel Martin. Aaron Wells, and Caleb Dalton, all of a place called Amoskeag; James Adams, Win. Orr, Job Kidder and John Kidder of Londonderry; Win. Read and Robt. Read, James McKnight, Wm. Cummings, all of Litchfield; and Samuel Griggs, Edward White, Esq., John White, all ot Brooklyn; which grant was made at Portsmouth in the mouth of December, 1748, upon the following conditions: "That the whole tract, saving the particular tracts herin- HISTORICAL. 7 after mentioned, be divided into sixty-eight shares, orrights and each right be laid out into three distinct lots, and num- bered with the same number on each of said lots, the num- bers of the rights to begin with one and end \\\i\\ sixty-eight: that one of the said shares be for the first Minister of the Gospel who shall be settled on said tract of land hereby granted, and shall remain there during his life, or until he shall be regularly dismissed, to hold to him, his heirs and assigns, and one other lot or share for and toward the sup- port of the Gospel Minister forever: that two of the three lots shall belong to each share shall contain one hundred acres each." But without quoting further, provision was made that the minister's lot should be near the meeting house, that another share, or right be reserved for the proprietors; that within one year from the time of drawing each owner of a share shall have a house sixteen feet square, (with a chimney and cellar) upon one end of his lot, and some person living in said house; and four acres of laud inclosed, cleared and fitted for mowing and tillage (four acres to be fitted during each of the succeeding two years, to build a meeting house within three years, and three years after the completion of the meeting house to maintain public worship therein; to pay £35, old tenor, per share, and to hold in reserve "all white pine trees growing on said tract of land, fit for his majesty's use iu Masting the Royal Navy." This was like- wise a condition of the charter of incoporation, {and was an- nulled only by that famous document, the Declaration of Independence. 8 HISTORICAL. The conditions of this grant were met by many of the grantees to whom is due the credit of being the foremost pioneers of this town. Other earl}^ settlers in town were Antipos Dodge, John Dinsmore; McCIary and Mr. Sessions who made their clear- in'^s oil the south side of the maiiataiQ; Mr. Todd, at the Moore place; and Mr. Butterfield and Mr. Robie, a little north of VVm. Todd's clearing. Mathew Kennedy was one of the first settlers, and the first white child born in town was his son, Samuel. He lived where B. F. Aiken formerly lived ia Shirley Hill district. Mr Kennedy was a thrifty farmer. Lieut. Moses Little lived half way up Robie Hill, Asa Pattee, Job Dow (where E. Richards now lives in the village) anl John Goffe (at Mrs. Artemus Whitney's now on North Mast Street) . Alexander Walker, the old town clerk, cleared and erected his cabin on the old Walker place, now owned by Geo. E. Waite. Samuel Blodgett made a laige clearing a mile or so from Amoskeag Falls, now in Manchester; he was regarded the wealthiest of the early settlers, and in many respects the most remarkable man. Robert McGregor settled in Goffstown in 1 777. Hetook an important part, under Gen. Stark, in the Revolutionary War, and was afterward an energetic merchant and business man in this town. He was the projector and proprietor of the first bridge across the Merrimac River on the site of the present Old Central bridge. Among the most distinguished, of the early settlers of this town may also be mentioned, Samuel Blodgett, Moses Keiiey, Colonel Goffe, Sam'l Rich- mSTOEICAL. 9 ards, Asa Pattee, John Butterfield, Thos. Shirley, James Karr, Mathew Kenuedv, Joshua Martio, Wm. McDoell, aud the Poors. There was a Mr. Worthley among: the first set- tlers, who lived near where David A. Parker afterward lived, near the cove, so called, but was driven off by the Indians. He afterward returned and was again disturbed, and moved to Weare, where he settled near the Cold Spring. To these men, and others perhaps less proniiuect, is due the credit and honor of having been the men who here faced the dangers of pioneer life when this entire state was inhab- ited almost excusively by the hostile Indians and the less treacherous wild animals' of the forest; here they labored through heat and cold,throngh disappointment and discour- agement, that they might make for themselves and their numerous posterity, homes aiid names that should be val- ued and honored throughout succeeding generations. INCORPORATION Goffstown was incorporated on June 16, 1761, by the Governor and Council of New Hampshire, to continue a cor- porate bodv until March 25, 1763. On April 5th, 1763, the incorporation was revived "to continue until we shall please to approve or disallow the same." Previous to its incorpor- ation this place had sometime been called "Shrove's-town." 10 HISTOEICAL. It was given its present name in honor of Col. John Goffe, a prominent man in the settlement. A portion of this town was combined with parts of Dun- barton and Chester, to form the town of Hooksett, Jnly 2, 1822. Some islaiids \u tlie Merrimac River were annexed to this town June 20, 1825. Isaac Parker's farm was severed from New Boston and annexed June 18, 1836. The line between Dunbarton and Goffstown was established Jan. 7, 1853. Up to this time, Goffstown extended to the Merrimac River, including what is now West Mancluster, but on July 1, 1853, that portion of Manchester west of the River was severed from this town and annexed to the city. The present area of Goffstown is 29,170 acres. The pop- ulation in 1775 was 831. The United States census has shown the population of this town for the successive decades, beginning 1790 to have been as follows: 1790, 1275; 1800, 1G12; 1810, 2000; 1820, 2173; 1830, 2213; 1840, 2370; 1850, 2270; 18G0, 1740; 1870, 1G5G; 1880, 1699; 1890, 1981; 1900, 2528; the last figures being the largest of any in the list. The present increase is due largely to the re-establish men t of the county fHrm in this town, which institution has an average membershi)) of Irom 425 to 450. Since the new electric railroad, connecting the town with Manchester, has been built, several from the city have pur- chased lots on the line of road, and established beautiful and convenient homes within eas}^ access to the city.

MILITARY MATTERS When the news of the battle of Lexington reached Goffs- town, it was quickly spread throughout the settlement. Almost to a man, the patriots left their implements of hus- bandry, and hurried to the place of rendezvous, where a com- pany, under Capt. Joshua Martin, was speedily enrolled, and marched to the seat of war. The ladies oi the town also partook largely of the revolutionary spirit. They cast bul- lets and made cartridges, and were always distinguished for habits of industry and skill, making all articles of clothing, for to use foreign goods was extravagant and unpatri- otic. Goffstown furnished its full quota of soldiers ot the Con- tinental army. The following is a nearly complete list of these men. There may be a few omissions, but it is the best record that can be obtained, and probably the most accurate. Those marked with a star (*) were killed or died in the ser- vice. Capt. Samuel Richards, Lieut. Moses Little, Lieut. Tim- othy Blake, Ensign Jesse Carr*, Antipos Dodge, Ichabod Martin, Timothy Moshire, David McClure, David McClure, J r., Robert Spear, John Dinsmore, Alexander Gilchrist, Robert Gilchrist*, Robert Gilchrist, Jr., John Sessions*, and wife, Lieut. Phillip Ferrin, Alexander McDoell*, (also in the French and Indian war) died while returning from the War of the Revolution to his home; Wm. McDoell, Jr., James McPherson, John McPherson, John Todd*, Collins Eaton*, HISTORICAL. 15 John Woods, John Little, John Gilmore, Matthew Kennedy, Andrew Newell* (killed at the evacuation of Ticonderoga), Eleazer Emerson, Seth Wyinan, Samuel Dunlap, Samuel Remick* (wounded at Bennington and brought home by Capt. E. Richards, with two other 3'pung men), Timothy Johnson, Samuel Barr, John Woods, Edward Woods, Sam'l Smith, David Stevens* (brought home sick, wounded, and died), Benj. Stevens, Jr., Ward Clark, Nathan Hawes, Amos Richards, Eliphalet Kemp, Robert McGregory, Wm. Houston, Jesse Dickey, Is;!cher King, John Butterfield, Jon- athan Bell, John Bell, Nathaniel Stevens, Ezra Myrack*, Joshua Wilson, John McClintock, Joshua Bell, Benj. Cass, Augustus George, Joseph Hadley*, McAllister*; Wm. Wilson, John Brown, Daniel Andrews, James Kendrick, David Kich- ardson, James Walker, John George, Sam'l Eaton, Thomas Saltmarsh, Silas Wells, Wm. Kemp* (killed, together with Andrew Newall, while on a scouting party irom Fort Inde- pendeuce), Ebenezer Freeman, Thos. Shirley, Joshua Mar- tin, Elijah Kidder, Jacob Sargent, Sam'l Orr*, (wounded in the leg, near the knee), and Stewart Mars, a colored man, — seventy -four in all. Of the record of these men the town is justly proud. Few towns of the State can show a longer list, or a list of men who performed better service in the American Army. Many of these were found at Bunker Hill, in the thickest of the fight; many of these were in Washington's army when Corn- walHs surrendered at Yorktown; in the mean time they had been found faithful and loyal Patriots. The military history of Goffsfown is a source of just 16 HISTORICAL. pride. If one thino; more than another is to be revered and commemorated, impressed upon the mind of the rising- gen- eration, that thing: is the record of names and deeds of men who faced the dang-ers of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of the country. Time rolls on and we are apt to for- get the vaule of the service rendered by the soldier in war. Each succeeding generation is more forgetful of these things than is its predecessor, unless it is taught to revere and love the memory of the deeds of the soldier. It should be in the mind of each lather and each mother to instill into the mind of the youth the significance of the inscription, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wounded at Vicksburg," "Died in Libby Prison," etc. No one should lose the opportunity to impress upon the generation to which he belongs and the one which follows, the responsibility which rests upon each man.

INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT Many of the Pioneers of Goftstown were men who oa ve consideraVjle time to hunting, as well as to the cultivation of the fertile acres which they cleared of the primeval timber in order to raise the neccessary corn for their bread, and grain for theii- cattle. These men were well skilled in the use of the flint-lock gun, and as the frepared was U!«ed in the construction of more spacious and comfortable homes, and ffrist-mills added for the giinding of corn, wheat and barley. HISTOEICAL. 19 Saw-mills were constructed on the streams wherever power was to be had throughout different parts of the town, and for many years sawing and exporting lumber was one of the leading industries. Oa the site now occupied by Parker Bros.' gristmill, Beniah Richards, about 1825, erected the first woolen mill in town. This he operated until his death in 1840, having organized the (loffstown Manufacturing Co. Another mill was erected on the opposite side of the stream, on the site now occupied by the bobbin mill, and was operated by the same company as Mr. Richard's mill. To these mills, and especially to the first erected, the surrounding farmers brought their fleeces, and had the wool carded, spun and woven in to cloth for household use. After the death of Mr. Richards the business was discontinued, and the buildings used for the manufacture of sash and blinds. This mill site was given his son by Eliphalet Richards who owned a large section of land north of the river, in what is now the village. Thesiteof the second mill mentioned became the location of a sash and blind factory, then a factory for making mack- erel kits, a match factory and a carriage shop, and a variety of other industries. Hambleton Bros., manufacturers of spools and bobbins, succeeded Otis Allen & Sons, box manufacturers, in August, 1900. This business was removed from Merrimac, N. H.; it employs 60 hands who receive |450 weekly in wages. This is an independent company, which operates a branch in Warner, where 15 men are employed. The product is shipped to all parts of New England and the South, where the spools 20 HISTOEICAL. and bobbins manufactured are used in the cotton and worsted niills. The old sash and blind factory, now closed, was estab- lished by Hadley & Blaisdell. and was carried on by them until Mr. Blaisdell sold his interest to Oren Moore. Hadley & Moore operated the plant for about 20 years, after which it was carried on by Alviu Hadley & Co. until it was discon- tinued about 1900. This was an extensive business, employ- ing as many as 75 hands at one time, and adding much activity to the business of the place. Kendall, Hadley & Co.'s steam sash and blind factory was established in 1808, by Kendrick Kendall, Henry Had- ley, and Lewis H. Stark, and active operations begun the same year. When built Jesse Nichols occupied one-third of the mill, and was succeeded by other smaller manufacturers, but the entire building, together with the several additions that have been made, is now occupied bj' this company. Seventy-five men are given employment and are paid fort- nightly, from .^plOOO to |1200 for their services. The product consists of sashes, blinds, and window-frames, most of which are made of white pine. The entire product, amounting to from |1 00,000 to $125,000 worth annually, is shipped to the Boston markets. Ervin Moore's scythe-rifle business was established in 1854 by Oren and Samuel C. Moore and has never passed out of the family 200 gross of scythe-rifles are manufact- ured each season at thf shop located on East Union street. Here Mr. Moore also carries on a carriage repairing and paint shop. HISTOEICAL. 21 Parker Bros.' grist milK which occupies the site of the ori2;inal woolen factory, was erected by Kendrick Kendall, David Parker, and John F. Parker about 1881. The present owners have operated the mill since 1887, in connection with their general store on Main St. So far we have only mentioned the mechanical industries located within the limits of the village, and at present these are about all that are doing very much business outside of the several portable mills which are being operated in differ- ent sections of the town. At Goffstown Center, or Grasmere, on the site of the present j)ulpmill, have been located several different mills for the manufacture of different products, during the last century. The first mill on this privilege was a saw mill, which probably had a grist mill connected. Later a stock- ing mill was built here. This was burned, and the site bought by the P. C, Cheney Co. who erected a paper mill, which was operated under the name of the Excelsior Fibre Co. for a few years. This mill also was burned, afterwhich the original portion of the present pulp mill was erected by the P. C.Cheney Co. In 1884 or 1885 the new part was added to the mill, and for several years following that date the place was the scene of a good deal of activity and enterprise. From 50 to 60 men were employed regularly. The business was Glossed in 1901 on account of the company tailing in busi- ness, and during the last three years the mill has stood idle. Robertson's saw mill, situated on Black-brook, beside black-brook road was built about 43 years ago, on the site that had been occupied by a saw mill for sixty years previ- 22 HISTORICAL. ouB. This site is 2% miles from Duubarton line, the same dis- tance from Grasmere postoffice, and 6 miles from the city of Manchester. The mill was built by David Wells, Frank Ste- vens, and Joseph Dunlap; and came into the hands ofG. T. Robertson about 1880. Up to five years ao'o this mill did a flourishing business, but much of the lumber in the section is beino- used up by the portable steam mills, with which the stationary mills are uuable to compete. From 300 to 400 thousand feet of lumber is now sawed annually at this mill, and employment is given to four men. SUMMER HOUSES. During recent years many citizens of Goffstown have been turning their attention to the entertainment of summer visitors. Few^ towns in the state can offer more beautiful or varied scenery, and few are in so easy access to a large com- mercial center. The Shirley Hill. House, on Shirley Hill, has become a well-known resort. This accommodates 185 guests and is open during most of the summer when every provision is made for their pleasure and convenience. Shirley Johnson is proprietor. Mount Pleasant House, H. W. Merrill, Proprietor, ac- commodates 18 to 20 visitors. This is a beautiful scenic spot overlooking the valley of the Piscataquog, and is open about four months during the season.
