2S HISTORY OF AMESBURY. Among those who received land at this time were William Barnes, Thomas Barnett, Anthony Colby, George Martin and Wil- liam Sargent, who were afterwards Amesbury men. The power was taken from the seven men with their consent, and others chosen in their stead. Feb. 26th. It was ordered that all fences "next y e street shall be made sufficient by y e 12th of y e first month," under forfeit of " 2 s. p r rod." March was, at this time, the first month and the season must have been very early or frost would have pre- vented fence building. All hogs over two months old were ordered yoked by the 12th 1st mo. or anybody might impound them and collect 6 s. each. The whole number of towns in the colony was thirty at this time, and the counties were established as follows : Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk and Norfolk—the latter including Salisbury, Hampton, Haverhill, Exeter, Dover and Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth). The courts were holden at Hampton. This arrangement continued till 1679. Richard North was chosen "cryer" for the ensuing year. Dec. 27th. Robert Dumer complained of Samuel Hall for beating his (Dumer's) daughter Phebe, a girl about ten years of age. Hall did not appear.* William Sargent sued William Hook, and the case was tried at Ipswich court. Recovered 56 s.* Richard North was chosen Howard to impound the cattle and have 2 d. each, and, also, to see to all fences. In modern language he was field-driver and fence viewer. It was ordered that all grants of land should be recorded in the new book, every man's grant together. 1 8th, 5th mo. Thomas Bradbury and John Severance were chosen surveyors of highways. At the same meeting a rate of ^15 was ordered "for digging town creek & other town charges," and a meeting of all land owners ordered to be held at the meeting house on the 2 2d, 23d, 24th of 6th mo. at 7 a. m. What these meetings were for does not appear by the record, or whether they were ever held. * Court Records. —
HISTORY OF AMESBURY. 29 20th, 9th mo. It was ordered that the " oxe common on the north side of y e great neck leading toward the sea shall be at liberty for the oxen from ist August to ist April, and cows to go from 15 Sept. to April;" and it was voted to fence this half with four rails. Richard Goodale was granted a lot of meadow west of the great creek, but one rod in width was reserved next the creek for drying nets and other purposes connected with the fishing. 8th, 10th mo. Samuel Dudley was chosen deputy. Land was Samuel granted to John Bayly, sen., and John Bayly, jun. . 1644. Prudential men : Pike, Henry Munday, Isaac Buswell. Dudley, Thomas Bradbury, Robert Jan. 15th. A town meeting was held and some further encour- agement given to those who should remove to the new terri- tory : — " Ordered, that those persons that go up to live upon the west side of the Powwas river shall have the sole feeding on that side for the year ensuing, and power to make order about fences." Jan. 20th. Joseph Moyce sold to Richard Currier his "new house, land, all things thereunto belonging." Mr. Samuel Dudley and Samuel Winsley were chosen depu- ties Jan. 15 th. It was ordered that the "rate in Constable's hands be gathered in corn row & half in work at spring digging the creek or planting." "Also, it is ordered that the improved lands of all those men y l have lands upon y e west side of y e Powwaus river shall be rated att half so much as the imp r vd land att the Towne until] they have a Minister there." This order does not establish the fact that there were any living west of the Powow at this time, but it very clearly reit- erates the determination formed in 1642, when the order of removal was passed, to make a new town in course of time. It may be that some had already crossed the river and were cul- tivating small patches near by, but in our careful search to ascertain the fact we have failed to find any evidence.
