BIOGRAPHY: From "The History of Goffstown NH"
CHAPTER VI - NARRAGANSETT NO.4
In June, 1735, the inhabitants of the town
of Medford petition for a grant of land in Number 4, stating that the town is
the smallest geographically of any in the province, their charges are extremely
high, and the maintenance of the ministry and school is very difficult.9 And upon
this petition one thousand acres of land was granted to the town of Medford in
the county of Middlesex in order that they may be better enabled to support the
ministry and maintain a school. The Medford land was laid out as follows:
Beginning at a pitch pine tree on the bank of the Piscataquog River about
two miles west of the Merrimack, thence running west by marked trees six hundred
and ninety-three perch, thence north, fifteen degrees east to a maple tree on
the bank of said river four hundred perch, thence by said river nine hundred and
seventy-three perch to the place of beginning, and containing one thousand acres.
The Medford grant as above stated was bounded on the east by Piscataquog
River and on the west to include a small part of Hillsborough County Farm, on
the south by the north line of lots 13,14, 15, and 16, in the second range. There
seems to be quite a marked difference in the Medford farm as originally surveyed,
and as shown on the old town plan as surveyed by Matthew Patten. But this discrepancy
might arise from lack of knowledge of the country in making the original estimate
on account of the course of the river. The town of Medford soon sold their right
to Ezekiel Walker, Seth Ditson, John Smith and Jotham Tuttle. The two last
named made settlements upon their purchases, and Tuttle's original camp was near
the intersection of the Mast and Richards roads.
-----------------
CHAPTER
VIII - PROPRIETORS' MEETING
Immediately after the drawing of lots the proprietors
found that no committee had been appointed to call the first meeting of the proprietors.
Accordingly a petition was circulated. John Goffe, Robert Gilmore, John Goffe,
Jr., Caleb Dalton, Jotham Tuttle, Samuel Patten and John Smith signing
the same, and directed to the clerk of the proprietors of Goffstown. This petition
was dated at Bedford the 6th day of August, 1750, and marks an important event
in the history of Goffstown. This was probably the first date in any historical
record where the name Goffstown was applied to the township.HISTORY:

The Pine Tree Riot - Weare, NH, April
1772
There's a white pine tree in the town of Somersworth, New Hampshire
that is 128 feet tall. That's as tall as an eight-story building. The trunk of
this white pine is six and one-half feet across at the base. It's the tallest
white pine in New Hampshire and one of the very few white pines left in our state
that would be considered large enough to be used as a mast for one of the wooden
sailing ships built for the Royal Navy of King George III in the 1700s.
.
In the early 1700s more and more people were leaving England and Europe and coming
to the American Colonies. The towns along the coast of New Hampshire were developing
into trading centers for the supplies that the colonists needed to buy from England.
The colonists also had materials to sell to the ships that were sailing back to
England.
.
One of our most abundant resources was trees. By the late
1600s, England had few forests left that could provide suitable trees for the
giant masts, support timbers, and lumber for their growing Royal Navy and merchant
ships. Tall, straight white pines were needed for "single- stick" masts.
A single stick mast was hewn from one tree, rather than fastening two or more
trees together with wooden pegs. A single-stick mast was by far the superior mast.
It could hold full sail in the heaviest gales. The colonists soon started moving
away from the farms and towns along the coast. In the mid- 1700s. Governor Benning
Wentworth granted huge parcels of land to many of his friends and granted charters
for incorporation to newly developing towns west of the Merrimack River. Families
made the dangerous trip from the coastal towns to the forests. They cleared the
land for farms and built roads for travel.
.
No matter who owned or cleared
the land, the white pines on the land belonged to the King of England. In 1772
the British Parliament and King George III made a law protecting "any white
pine tree of the growth of twelve inches in diameter." There was already
a law protecting the larger white pine trees. All of these laws meant that the
settlers couldn't cut any white pines unless they had the Deputy Surveyor come
to mark the trees with the broad arrow, saving them for masts. Then the settlers
had to pay a tidy sum of money to get a royal license to cut the rest of the white
pines from their own land.
.
Deputy surveyors of the King's Woods were
appointed by the governor. The Deputy Surveyor and his crew had the authority
to mark any and all suitable white pines with the broad arrow mark of the king.
The Deputy Surveyor also had the authority to check the sawmills run by the settlers.
If he found any white pine logs or lumber that had been cut without a royal license,
he could mark each piece with a broad arrow. The logs and lumber could then be
seized by the sheriff and the owner of the sawmill had to pay a huge fine or go
to jail.
.
While Benning Wentworth was governor of New Hampshire, he
did little to enforce the pine tree laws. He rarely sent the Deputy Surveyor to
the new towns, like Dunbarton, Weare, and Henniker, that were so far away from
Portsmouth. And the governor saw little reason to deny the settlers their trees
as long as there were enough masts being hauled to Portsmouth for the Royal Navy.
.
Benning's nephew, John Wentworth. became governor in 1766. John Wentworth
soon saw how much money was being lost by not enforcing the license fees and fines
for the pine tree laws in the new towns, so he instructed the Deputy Surveyors
to attend to their duties.
.
In the winter of 1771-72, John Sherburn,
a Deputy Surveyor of the King's Woods, visited the sawmills in the towns of the
Piscataquog Valley. Sherburn found just what he hoped he would discover - white
pine logs that measured 15 to 36 inches in diameter at six different mills in
Goffstown and Weare. He claimed them as "The King's White Pine Trees"
and chopped the mark of the broad arrow in every log. The owners of the mills
were warned not to touch the logs and to appear before the Court of Vice Admiralty
in Portsmouth on February 7, 1772 to pay their fines.
.
The sawmill owners
hired Samuel Blodget, Esquire, a lawyer from Goffstown to represent them at court
in Portsmouth. Blodget didn't represent them very well. He forgot his loyalty
to them when the governor offered him a job as a Surveyor of the King's Woods.
But Blodget did arrange for the sawmill owners to pay their fines and to get their
logs back.
.
The mill owners from Goffstown paid their fines at once
and had their logs returned to them. But the sawmill owners from Weare did not.
They decided to be "obstinate and notorious" even though Blodget had
sent them letters warning them against it.
.
On April 13, Benjamin Whiting,
the Sheriff of the County, and his deputy, John Quigly, rode to South Weare. They
came with a warrant for the arrest of sawmill owner Ebenezer Mudgett. Mudgett
was the leader of the Weare mill owners. The sheriff thought that if he arrested
Mudgett, the other mill owners would give in and pay their fines.
.
It
was nearly dark when Sheriff Whiting and Deputy Quigly found Ebenezer Mudgett.
Mudgett agreed to meet the sheriff at Aaron Quimby's inn in the morning and pay
his fine. News of the sheriff's arrival spread quickly through Weare. That night
scores of men gathered at Mudgett's house to work out a plan for paying the sheriff
in a way that he wouldn't soon forget.
.
Mudgett rode to Quimby's Inn
at dawn and burSt in on the sheriff, who was still in bed. Then more than twenty
townsmen, with their faces blackened for disguise, rushed into the sheriffs room
and began to beat him with tree branch switches. Sheriff Whiting tried to grab
his guns so he could defend himself, but he was thoroughly outnumbered. Men grabbed
him by his arms and legs, hoisted him up, face to the floor, while others continued
to switch him mercilessly. Whiting later reported that he thought the men would
surely kill him. Deputy Quigly was also pulled from his room and received the
same treatment from another group of townsmen.
.
The sheriff and deputy's
horses were brought around to the inn door. The soot-blackened townsmen cropped
off the horses' ears and sheared off their manes and tails - ruining the value
of the animals. The two men were forced to mount and were shouted and slapped
down the road toward Goffstown.
.
At this point the sheriff was not about
to admit defeat. He went to Colonel John Goffe and Colonel Edward Goldstone Lutwytche
and arranged for them to bring a posse of soldiers to Weare to arrest Mudgett
and the other rioters. By the time the posse arrived, the rioters were long gone.
They had disappeared into the woods without a trace.
.
But Sheriff Whiting
didn't give up on the whole matter. Later in the spring he was able to capture
one of the rioters, so the rest of the men agreed to pay the bail money and appear
in court to accept their punishment.
.
In September, eight men from Weare
were brought before His Majesty's Superior Court. They were Timothy Worthley,
Jonathan Worthley, Caleb Atwood, William Dustin, Abraham Johnson, Jotham Tuttle,
William Quimby, and Ebenezer Mudgett. They were charged with being rioters and
disturbers of the peace and with "making an assault upon the body of Benjamin
Whiting, Esq., Sheriff, and that they beat, wounded and evilly intreated him and
other injuries did so that his life was despaired of." They were also charged
with going "against the peace of our Lord the King, his crown and dignity."
.
Four judges heard the case in the Superior Court in Amherst. They were
Theodore Atkinson, Meshech Weare, Leverett Hubbard and William Parker. The rioters
were very humble and submitted themselves to the grace of the court and king.
They were lucky. The judges fined each of the men 20 shillings and ordered them
to pay the cost of the court hearing.
.
It was certainly a light punishment
for the crimes they had committed. The small fine ordered by the judges showed
that they understood why the men from Weare attacked the sheriff and deputy. The
judges, like many other citizens of New Hampshire, thought the pine tree laws
were oppressive and unfair. The pine tree laws were just another way of making
the colonists pay taxes to the British king.
.
The Pine Tree Riot, the
raid on Fort William and Mary in Newcastle, the threats to the Tax Stamp Master
in Portsmouth, and many other acts of rebellion grew from the anger that the citizens
of New Hampshire felt over these laws. They all helped to bring New Hampshire
into the Revolutionary War against Great Britain.
