NOTES:
House of Matthew Thornton was later a restaurant called the "Hannah Jack Tavern" (named after Matthew's wife, Hannah Jack), and more recently "The Common Man." It is located across the street from the Thornton's Ferry Cemetery in Merrimack, New Hampshire. The photograph above was taken by Mike Reed (used with permission). Matthew Thornton was one of the New Hampshire signers of the Declaration of Independence.

The three uncopyrighted postcards of two Covered Bridges (Fields & Turkey Hill) that burned down in the 1950/60s were generously contributed by David A. Trench Sr.
