The original list from which I copied the above is signed by
"Andrew Darby, Proprietor's Clark." The Company held their first
meeting in Cambridge, December 20, 1633, and increased the committee to
five persons by the addition of Ebenezer Breed and Samuel Trumbull, to
those already named. There are, in the above list, 118 names. Phineas
Upham appears twice. I think John Barnard, then alive, was the son of
John, for whom Capt. Bowman drew in the right of his wife. Much more
matter of interest may be found in the excellent "History of
Westminster," by Rev. Wm. S. Heywood.
NARRAGANSET TOWNSHIP NO. 3, AMHERST, N.H.
The second of the two townships granted in 1728 became No. 3, "Souhegan
West," in the later division; and was drawn to the grantees
represented in the towns of Salem, Lynn, Marblehead, Gloucester, Andover,
Topsfield, Beverly, Wenham, Boxford, Bradford, Scarborough, York,
Falmouth, Chatham.
The committee chosen to manage the propriety were: Richard Mower, of
Lynn; John Trask, Salem; and Ebenezer Rayment. This township was
incorporated as Amherst, N.H., and originally embraced parts of the
present towns of Merrimack, Mt. Vernon, and Milford, N.H. An excellent
history of this town, by D. F. Secomb, was published in 1883.
