FERILEY Coo Men's Clothiers, Hatters and Outfitters 238 \Vater Street AUGUSTA, MAINE liitLlhir©p To^^n ^egisfter Introduction Location — Natural Features — Production — Scencr}^ The town of Winthrop-Pond Town — as originally called, was a part of the old grant of land known to all who are in anyway familiar with the land titles of the Kennebec Valley as the "Plymouth Grant" or the Ken- nebec Purchase. This grant was thirty miles wide, extending east and west fifteen miles each way from the Kennebec river. The limits north and south were from the vicinity ol Norridgework to Merrymeeting Bay. As to the natural features they are unsurpassed by any in the state of Maine. Its lake scenery is most 6 HISTORICAL bcautilul. The large Lake INIaranacook joined with Cobbosseeeonte and the system whieh is lornied by their tributaries is a most interesting and valuable one. INIr. Thurston states in history that Hon. Benjamin Vaughan, ol Ilallowell, an Englishman by birth and by residence, lor a part ol his years, a member ol the English Parliment lor some years, pronounced the region the most interesting to be found in New Eng- land. From an elevation where the town-house is located with laNorable atmostpheric conditions, the White mountains ot New Hampshire and the hills ol Dixmont near the Penobscot ri\er are clearlv visible. Early Settlement According to the best information we can obtain INIr. Timothy Foster came here in 1764 and brought his wife and ten children in 17(^)5. He pitched his tent about eiirht rods from the Great Pond. Here the lirst Iramed building w^as put up. I'he next family which came was Squire Bishop, his wife and six children in the spring ol 1767. They were Irom Rehoboth, Mass. Families by the name ol Fairbanks, Stanley and l^dlen came Irom Attlc- boroug, ^lass. Though several kinds of game were plentx', the early settlers did not come to be hunters. They had HISTORICAL 7 other desires and employments. The few inhabitants came into the wilderness to provide lor their families for whom they felt a lively interest. Had they been drones, thev would never thought of coming to Pond Town for a living, or have encountered the toils and hardships incident to such a situation. GRANTS OF LAND The township was not sold to a few proprietors who might speculate and defraud individual purchasers. The Plymouth Company or as they were then called the "Colony of New Plymouth" granted lots to indi- vidual settlers upon specified conditions. In examining the records of the Pl3-mouth Company, I find that on June II, 1766, a lot of land was granted to Timothy Foster, one mile long and one hundred poles wide, con- taining two hundred acres. It was lot No. 8, as de- lineated by a plan made by John McKecknie, who appears to have made the first survey of the town. The conditions of the grant were that the said Timothy Foster build a house not less than twenty feet square and seven feet stud, clear and bring to fit for tillage, five acres of land within three 3'ears from the date hereof, and actually upon the premises himself during said term, or in case of his death, that his hiers or some person shall dwell upon said premises during said term or that he or^ they or some person under him or them shall thereupon for seven years after expiration of said 8 HISTORICAL three 3'ears, reserving to this property all mines and minerals whatsoever within the hereby granted prem- ises, with libert}' of digging and carrying off the same. Squire Bishop had Lot No. 17 granted him the same day on the same conditions. Eben Bly had Lot No. 18 the same day on the same conditions. Lot No. 10 to John Needham June 4, 1767 on the same conditions. Samuel Scott had Lot No. 13 reserved tor him, but September 14, 1768 it was transferred to Samuel Need- ham on the same conditions. October 12, 1768 Abraham W3'man had Lot No. 12 granted to him on the same conditions. Nathan Hall had Lot No. 1 1 granted to him the same day on the same conditions. January 11, 1769 Robert Waugh had Lot No. 98 granted to him on the same conditions. Timothy Foster, Jr., had Lot No. 5 granted him April 12, 1769 on the same condition. The same day Phillip Snow had Lot No. 30. Nathaniel Stanley, Lot No. 18; Amos Boynton, Lot No. 29; Peter Hopkins, Lot No. 9; Benjamin Fairbanks, Lot No. 6; John Chandler, Lot 51 and 52 all granted the same day on the same conditions. Nathaniel Floyd had Lot No. 42 granted to him the same da\'. Stephen Pullen had Lot No. 56 granted to him December 14, 1768 on the same terms. HISTORICAL 9 August 22, 1770 Ichabod Howe had Lot No. 70; Joseph Chandler had Lot No. 78; John Blunt had Lot No. 22 all on the same terms. August 27, 1770 Billy Foster had Lot No. 7. August 12, 1772 Jonathan Whiting had Lot No. loi; Joseph Baker had Lot No. 213; Samuel Stevens had Lot No. 139; Stephen Jones had Lot No. 14 on the same conditions. July 14, 1773 John Chandler had Lot No. 99; Elisha Smith had Lot No. 134; Squire Bishop had Lot 55; Unight Brown had Lot 64; Jonathan Whiting had Lot No. 200; Richard Humphrey had Lot No. 83 all on the same conditions. July 9, 1777 Lot No. 247 according to John Jones survey was granted to the minister who should be settled in Winthrop. The conditions were that he should continue to preach the gospel in said town ten years from and after his settlement unless the said minister should be removed by death before the ex- piration of that term, provided, nevertheless, that in case a gospel minister shall not be settled in said town on or before the 3'ear 1780; then this grant is to be void and to revert back to this propert}'. This is the lot upon which Kezar lived in 1855. Also June 9, 1777, Lot No. 57, Jones' survey containing about 200 acres was by the proprietors of the Plymouth Company voted, granted and assigned to the town ot Winthrop for the use of the ministery in said town forever. The township was surveyed by Dr. John McKecknie. It lO HISTORICAL was laid out in lots one mile long and one hundred poles or rods wide. In 1776 some 3'oiinL;" men among whom were Stephen Pullen, Nathaniel Stanle}', Benjamin Fairbanks and probably Ebcnezer Bly and some others came to this place. In 1767 Nathaniel Fairbanks came and passed the summer and returned. In the spring John Chandler came and a number ot others. Prior to this there was no road Irom Pond Town to the Kennebec river. The bushes were cut away, and a line ol' spotted trees was their guide through the dense forest. A grist mill had been erected on the Cobbosseeconte stream, in what is now Gardiner, by Dr. Gardiner and son ol Boston. The people had to go all the way to Cobbossee to procure the grinding of all their meal, nor had the}' any other way ol conveying it except upon their shoulders, for there was not a horse in town, and there being no road they could not avail them- selves of the labors of their oxen. An incident has been related as haN'ing occurred during this period of privation and trial which may interest the ladies. In these days they were accustomed to all sorts of toil and hardships. Mrs. Foster, wife of the first settler undertook to assist her husband by going to Cobbossee to mill. Living on the margin of the great pond she crossed in a canoe to save distance, and the boat was taken back, b}' some means she was detained so long that on her return to the east side of the pond it was so dark that she could not find the horn which was HISTORICAL II kept to call for the boat and she was under the painful necessity of remaining in the woods all night. How man}' females of today have either the strength or the couraofe for such an adventure ? Mr. John Chandler came with his family in 1767. He had considerable property. Amos Stevens when a young man 18 years of age came with him as a hired man. Some two or three years later his father, Joseph Stevens, removed into the place with the rest of his family. They were from New Ipswich, N. H. Mr. Chandler was also from the place and his was the fourth family which settled in Pond Town. As yet they had no road to the Kennebec river and there being no saw mill in the place, they dwelt in log houses. In 1768 a road was cleared out so that the}' could pass with oxen and carwheels to the hook now Hallowell. Mr. Chandler built a saw mill on the stream where the cotton manufactury was later, and in the course of this year erected a grist mill. But to get the mill stones from the river was a great achievement. It is said to have required the whole strength of the place, both men and oxen during nearly a week. HARDSHIPS As specimens ot the hardships of the early comers we give the following: Nathaniel and Joseph Fairbanks in the month ol February took their guns, snowshoes and dogs and 12 HISTORICAL started off in a westerly direction on a hunting excur- sion. Having gone a long distance the dogs went up a hill and gave notice that the}^ had found game. The hill they supposed to be in what is now the town ot Leeds. The dogs had found a noble moose w^hich the hunters soon killed and dressed. But the day was so far spent they could not return. They therefore buried their meat in the snow and camped for the night. The next day they took their meat upon handsleds and brought it home. This was a large moose ot 800 pounds. Mr. Gideon Lambert was an early settler. He and his family had to subsist one season from planting time to ryCj harvest, on milk and herbs. During this time he fell four, and some say six acres of trees, and prepared them lor the burn the ensuing spring. He had been a soldier in the old French and Indian War. He aided in the defeat of the British army under the command of Abercombie, 1758. He also served in the war of the Revolution, after he came to Pond Town. Some families were so destitute ot provisions, that one at least, by the name of Delano, subsisted, tor a time on boiled beech leaves. Others were without bread trom sowing time until har\-est. Some of them had nothing tor themselves but milk and maple sugar. One neighbor sustained the children ot another neigh- bor on skimmed milk. A woman said, the day alter the birth of a child she dined on smoked moose meat HISTORICAL 13 and turnip greens. Her husband had gone to procure them breadstuff, was gone longer than she expected. She had hnished the hist of her provisions. What could she do? Her neighbors could not assist her, for thev were in the same predicament. She was greatly at loss what course to take to save herself and the child. She adopted this singular method: She ate salt; that made her thirsty, and she drank more, and this procured nurishment for the child. The neighbors would hunt in company, and share the game between them, because there were times in which they could obtain pro\ isions so well in no other way. Mr. David Foster, in the month ot June was very destitute of food. He went to a brook and caught a sucker, which, while it was broiling gave a cheering fragrance. He dug up some of the potatoes he had planted to eat with his fish; but he found the fish ver}' soft, and the potatoes very water}-. But the}' sustained life. Mr. Squire Bishop came with his family to Pond Town in embarrassed circumstances, poor and in debt. But though for a season they were greatly stiaitened, and at times much disheartened, he at length accumu- lated property sufficient to enable him to pay his creditors the amount of their claims Rev. Mr. Eaton once came to preach the gospel to the poor, and impart the bread of life to these few in the wilderness, called on Mr. Bishop's family and found them very destitute. Mrs. Bishop went to the pigeon J. HISTORICAL net and obtained a competent supply. At another time Mr. Bishop's family were out of provisions, and none to be had nearer than Cobbossee. Mrs. Bishop spoke to her husband about going to procure something lor their sustenance. He was much discouraged, and said he was so feeble, that he could not get to Cobbossee, and they might as well die where they were. But the woman not so disponding, resolved to see what she could do. Necessity is the mother of invention. She bent up some pins, procured a pole, line and bait, took her babe in her arms and went to the pond, which was no <.-reat distance, and caught as many tish as she could conveniently carry with her child. On returning to the house, she heard a rustling in one ol the trees, and looking up she saw a racoon. Now what shall she do? If she "called to her husband to came with his gun, it would doubtless frighten the animal and he would escape, or if she went and told her husband the game mi-ht be gone. Perhaps some good angle suggested to her the plan, which was this: She took some oi her cloths and some of the child's and made such an image ns she could and placed it at the foot of the tree upon which the animal was, and hastened to the house. She said to her husband, "The Lord has sent us a coon; take your gun and go and shoot him." He re- plied, ''he will be gone to l'>oston betore 1 can get to him." "No he won't; you will fmd him there. The Lord has sent him. Mr. liishop took his gun and shot the racoon. They led upon the meat till INIr. HISTORICAL IS Bishop recovered strength and courage to procure a supply of lood. Thus providentially their lives were saved. Other incidents of a similar nature can be re- counted in large numbers to show the straightened circumstances, the grim determination, the tremendous courage and wonderful ingenuity of the settlers in the wilderness.

Passed April 26, 1771. This town was the first one incorporated not on navigable waters in Maine.

The War of the Rev- olution found Winthrop but a hamlet in the forests of the then sparsely settled District of Maine. But her record shows that her response was hearty and loyal. The following lines from a previous writer read as follows: "The War of the Re^'olution commenced in 1775. The 19th of this vear, the Battle of Lexington was fought. The report of this aroused the spirit of the young men of Winthrop. Not long after, Nathaniel Fairbanks, known for many years after as Col. Fair- banks, and eighteen other voung men, repaired to the headquarters of the Provincial armv at Cambridge, to defend their countr}-. Of these eighteen, four were sons of the first settler, Capt. Timothy Foster; Billy, HISTORICAL 27 Eliphalet, Thomas and John who went as privates, and did not return to reside in Winthrop. Elijah Fairbanks was another. The names of the others are not known. Nathaniel Fairbanks was afterwards in the Regiment under the command of Arnold, of infamous memory, on an expedition to Canada. But becoming short of provisions, that part of the Regiment to which young Fairbanks belonged was ordered to return. The following indicates Winthrop's activity in the War of 1812 — 14: This town raised two companies for state defense. The one attached to Stone's regi- ment had lor captain, Asa Fairbanks; lieutenant, Solo- mon Easty; ensign, Jonathan Whiting; Benjamin Richard, Wadsworth Foster, John Richards and Oliver Foster were sergeants; Eliphalet Stevens, Thomas Stevens, Samuel Chandler and Columbus Fairbanks, coporals; Bezer Snell and Nathan Bishop, musicians; the privates numbered thirty-four men. The other compan}- was attached to Sweet's regi- ment. The captain was Elijah Davenport; lieutenant, Samuel Benjamin; ensign, Herman Harris; jabez Bacon, Levi Fairbanks, Joseph Heselton and Francis Perley were sergeants; Stephen Sewall, Benjamin King, Daniel Heselton and Caleb Harris were coporals; Waterman Stanley, Josiah Bacon, Jr., Stephen Abbott, Thomas Fuller and Simon Clough, musicians; the company contained forty-four privates. 28 HISTORICAL CIVIL WAR At the close of 1 86 1 Winthrop was credited with the following men: Andrew P.

From the first she has been engaged in several lines. ^2 HISTORICAL Of course the early years brought forth only the absolute necessities. These were, as every one at all familiar with the early years is aware, the saw and grist mill. No one of the towns at the time of the pioneer found it possible to dispense with these facilites converting the products ol nature into the forms that their needs demanded. John Chandler built the iirst saw mill in this town on the site of the woolen factory. This was running as early as 1768. Hushai Thomas was the builder of the next one which was gone ere the second decade of the 19th Century. The third saw mill was built on what was known as the dam number three. It was called the Sewell Mill and belonged to the Cotton mill, whose manager was Stephen Sewell. Mr. Dearborn built the iourth mill on the Old Canal, a saw mill which was later moved to the Cole dam number four. It was destroyed in 1853, by fn-c. After this he built on the other side of the stream, a mill, which also met the same late as its pre- decessor. The first grist mill in Winthrop was the result of the energy and perseverance of John Chandler. It was one of the provisions of his contract that he should build the mill, and he carried out the project and ran it lor mauN- years. Lake Maranacook was known for nearly a century as Chandler's Pond, from the name ofthe builder of the mills at its foot. The date is probabh not Uir from the same time as the first saw mill, 1768. John Chandler, Jr., erected another mill HISTORICAL 33 on the west side of the stream a short distance below the site the old brick mill. The third srist mill was built on Perley Canal. The fourth was built by Messrs Clark & Shaw. The present grist mill was started in 1 891 by H, & J. W. Maxim. It is located on the west side ot the village, and is now run by D. H. Maxim. The present saw mills in Winthrop are those of D. H. Maxim and S. G. Davis. Among the other early industries of Winthrop were the following: The old fulling mill of Cyrus Baldwin, built in 1 791 and sold b}' him to Benjamin Allen and by him to Libert}' Stanley. Other owners were: John Cole, Hiram Cole, Mr. Merrill, Messrs. Benjamin & Davis, and Luther Whitman, the three latter parties owning it in partnership. The tire of 1853 destroyed this mill and its site was sold to Mr. Whitman. The old pottery was another of the early industries. It was located on the site of the stone blacksmith shop and was run b}- Thomas Fuller. The brick industry was started in town about the time of the building of the brick mill for. the cotton company. Those engaged in this industry were: Isaac Bonney, Major Elijah Wood, Charles Nelson, Oaks Howard and Nathan Cobb. The first tannery was built here prior to 1800 by Col. Fairbanks. Another one was erected by Samuel Clark, on the stream below where the woolen mill is, at a date not far from 1803. ^^ "^"^^^ succeeded by 34 HISTORICAL his son, E. Miller Clark, who later sold to B. & L. Jones. The earriage business in this town has been an industr}' of note for almost the entire history ot the town, at least, throughout the past centur}-. It has been almost entirely in the hands of the Stanley lamily. The product of the Stanley shops has won an enviable reputation throughout the central portion of the state. The boot and shoe manufactur}' was once an im- portant industr}- here. The Winthrop product was largely for wholesale trade and was carried on largely by the loUowing: C. F. Wing, E. M. Clark, 1. Mat- thews & Co., S. N. Tufts & Co*;^, C. A. & B. F. Wing, S. J. Philbrook, J. Trufant, Isaac Nelson and Joshua Wing. The leading industries ol Winthrop on a larger scale ha\ e been the Winthrop Woolen and Cotton Manuiactur}', the Oil Cloth industry ol C. M. Bailey's Sons & Co., and the machine shop of the Benjamin Brothers. Of the first mentioned the following is a brief statehient ol the leadins; facts concerning- it. In 1S09 capitalists Irom Boston and Ilallowell bought propert}', both real estate and water rights at Winthrop \illage. The Winthrop Woolen and Cotton Manulactory was incorporated, and Amos Barrett was aj^pointed superintendent. During the next five 3X^ars the concern erected and e([uipped a lour storv brick mill. The industr\" continued to prosper for a lew years but the end of twent\ }ears forced the company HISTORICAL 35 to close up and remain idle for about seven 3'ears. In 1 841 or thereabout the property was bought by Messrs. Little and Son, E. Wood, Mr. Jones, and a New York man at a price of about $22,000 and once more put in operation, Mr. S. G. Lee being in charge. In 1846 the property went into the hands of Cushman, Lee, and Metcalf. Through various hands the mill passed till in 1865 when E. Wood died, Boston parties purchased their rights and organized the present Winthrop Mills Co. The capital stock was $150,000. The old build- ing was cut in two pieces and moved awa}' in 1882. The same year, the large cotton mill was built, and the dams number two and three were combined. The different a^^ents of this mill have been P. C. Brad- ford, John Mcllroy, and R. C. Mcllroy. The industry has been a large and important factor in the building up of the interests of the town of Winthrop. The oilcloth industry was started by Dr. Daniel and Moses Bailey, sons of Ezekiel Bade}', who made the oilcloth for tables, and the salesman was Charles M. Bailey. In 1842 C. M. Bailey bought his father's interest in the business and with his brother, Moses, as a partner continued the industry. After a time Moses bought out Charles M. and ran the business alone. In 1847 the business was again transferred to the hands of C. M. Bailey and he erected a complete new plant at Bailey ville. The year 1856 witnessed the de- struction of his plant at Baileyville. He had bought a short time before a plant at Winthrop built by Robbins 36 HISTORICAL & Haines. wSix years later these works were also de- stro3ecl b}' tire. He next assumed the ownership ol the Benjamin & Davis machine shops at Winthrop vil- lage and soon added other buildings to resume the business. Moses Bailey's works at Baileyville were destroyed by tire and rebuilt within a }ear. C. M. Bailey bought Moses Bailey's entire plant. In 1891 the tire tiend again appeared. But the works were soon rebuilt. The business has ever continued to prosper, and toda}' tinds the Bailey tirm, now known as C. M. Baile3''s Sons & Co., one of the leading if not the largest con- cern making all kinds of oilcloth in this countr}'. This has been the leading manulacturing industr}" in Win- throp tor many years. The conij-yany has a factory doing a large business at Skowhegan. Professional Hen LAWYERS The following is Wiuthrop's list oi" law3'ers: Dudley Dodd, Augustus Alden, Charles L. An- drews, Samuel P.

BANKS The Winthrop Bank, incorporated in 1824, with a capital of $50,000, when the only banks in Kennebec county were at Hallowell, Augusta and Gardiner shows the business requirements of that day. Samuel Wood was president, Thomas J. Lee was cashier. Its busi- ness was done in the southeast corner room of Dr. A. P. Snow's present residence. After a short but hon- orable career, its owners decided to close its affairs. After redeeming most of its bills and settling with its depositors, Samuel Wood became responsible for the adjustment of the balance of its affairs. Mr. Lee, who was a teacher and a school book author of some note, opened a school in the room the bank had used, and attended to all the details of final settlement. The bank of Winthrop was incorporated under the state 44 HISTORICAL laws in 1853. E. M. Clark, Stephen Sewell, Erastus W. Kellcy, David Stanley', Charles M. Bailey, Wel- lington Hunton, Benjamin Stockin, Stephen Gammon and Otis llaytord were direetors; Charles M. Bailey was president and David Stanley, cashier. The capi- tal stock was $50,000, increased to $75,000, and bills were issued. Alter doing a prosperous business for about ten years, the directors chose to close up their business rather than pa>' the ten per cent., on their cir- culation then re(|uired by the act of Congress. The National Bank ot Winthrop was organized with Charles M. Bailey, Da\ id Stanley, Ephraim Wood, Phillip C. Bradford and Levi Jones as directors. The doors were open for business No\ember 28, 1864, with Charles M. Bailey, president and John M. Ben- jamin, cashier. That portion oi the aifairs of the bank of Winthrop then imsettled was assumed by the new bank. At the end of twenty years the charter was renewed. In addition to these names, Moses Bailc}', Francis II. Mclntire, Charles A. Wing, Reuben T. Jones, George A. Longfellow and Henry Winslow were or have been directors. The Winthrop Savings Bank was chartered and began doing business in February, 1872, in the bank- ing room of the Winthrop National Bank. The trust- tees were: Le\i Jones, Charles A. Wing, Moses Bailey, F. II. Mclntire and Joseph S. Berry. Levi Jones was president and John M. Benjamin was treasurer. ( HISTORICAL 45 This institution was very prosperous till, on the night of July 2 2, 1875, the building was entered by profes- sional burglars, both safes were blown open, and cash and bonds taken in amounts that ultimatel}' made each bank a loser of over $10,000. The savings bank closed up its business and paid its depositors seventy-three cents on a dollar. The National Bank of Winthrop closed up its aftairs a lew years ago and was soon succeeded by the Winthrop branch of The Augusta Safe Deposit and Trust Co. On December 27, 1897 the Augusta Safe Deposit & Trust Co., of Augusta opened a branch at Winthrop and has since that time transacted a liberal amount of business. This is one of the strong banking institutions of the Kennebec Vallc}' and has a ver}' strong board of officials and directors. The Winthrop branch is under the efficient management of I. O. Gage, whose genialit}' and ex- cellent business ability has won for himself and the institution he represents, a host of friends. The first manasfer was A. H. Blair. ^6 HISTORICAL Church Account A previous writer has said that the town of Win- throp was but three weeks old when her people began to make provision for religious privileges, through public action. A committee by the town was ap- pointed to procure preaching for eight Sabbaths in the summer of 1771. We are told that Thurston Whiting was the first preacher to minister to the humble church supporters in the pioneer town. He continued to be the only minister to preach here till 1775. His salary was raised by tax. Jeremiah Shaw was the next preacher. A church council composed ot delegates from Harpswell, Pownalborough and New Castle was convened at Winthrop in 1776 and a church organiza- tion with twenty-six members was perfected. Rev. INIr. Shaw and Z. Colby were both called to the pastorate of the church, but declined. Rev. David Jewett was the first settled pastor, located here in 1782 and died one year later. The church from this time on lor nearly twenty years was supplied with occa- sional sermons by Rev. E. Emerson and Rev. S. P^aton. The town voted to build a house of worship 36x40 feet in size on lot No. 57 in 1774. This church was only partly finished, though it was used to a certain extent. In i7'— W. E. Berry, superintendent.

In these families, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the non-resident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former residents of the town of Winthrop, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both the parents are still living in town. At the end of the Census will be found the names of the non-residents with their present addresses, when such addresses have been given to us. The non-residents are indicated by the (*). Following the names of the population is the occupation. To designate the occupations we have used the more common abbrevia- tions and contractions. Some of these follow: Farmer — far; carpen- ter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an ad- vanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools — pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon — phy & sur; clergyman — clerg; merchant — mer; teacher — tr; black- smith — blk: clerk — cl; book-keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic — mech; engineer — eng; insurance — ins; maker — mkr; worker — w'kr; work — wk; shoe shop work — s s wk; Winthrop Mills Co. — W M Co; Bailey's Oil Cloth Works— B's O.

In connection with the schools, we learn that the year 1783 saw the town divided into seven different school districts, where at first the schools were held in private houses. Benjamin Brainard was the first paid schoolmaster.

Its size was probabl\- about 16x20 feet. The ve
