s to encourage the establishment of towns. To Virginia belongs the honor of inaugurating the manufacture of iron in America. In 1619, on Falling creek, a tributary of James river, Chesterfield county, about seven miles below the present city of Manchester, works for smelting iron were erected. The Indian massacre of 1622 unfortunately terminated the enterprise. There were early efforts for the cultivation of flax and hemp, and the breeding of silk-worms for the manufacture of fabrics. In 1657 premiums were offered for the production of silk, flax, and other staple commodities. Hening, Volume I, page 169. Mr. Meredith, whose able address I have referred to, conclusively refutes the charge of illiteracy and disregard for education in our ancestors.

heaven upon the 8 May, 1704. 30: 3 mo. 1657. A town rate, amounting to £ 100, for va-. rious purposes, includes an item of £ 7 to Mr. Morley, Scholemaster ; said rate is to be made out and collected of the Inhabitants by the Constables. Frothingham (page 155), under date 1659, says that twenty acres in wood and three and one-half acres in commons were assigned to Mr. Morley. Wyman's History informs us that John Morley was the schoolmaster one year from April 26, 1652, and again also in 1657. He, with his wife Constant (Starr), was admitted to the Charlestown church in 1658. He is said to have been the son of Ralph Morley, of Braintree. His mother may have been the widow Catharine Morley who sojourned thirty weeks with John Greene, of Charlestown, at two shillings and sixpence per week. John Morley died January 24, 1660-1, and in his will bequeathed his estate at Lucas and at Chesthunt Leyes, Hertford county, Eng., first to his wife, and secondly to his sister, Mrs. Ann Farme

A personal examination of the town records shows that from the opening of this century, almost without exception thereafter, the inhabitants of Charlestown, in town meeting assembled, discussed the welfare of the school and voted the annual appropriation for the same. Thus they were building, better, perhaps, than they knew, for upon foundations, similarly well laid, has risen, slowly but surely, the magnificent structure of our present school system.

five years old when the family came to this country. His education must have been obtained in the schools of the time. Possibly he went to the faire Grammer School, the first one established in the settlement, taught by Elijah Corlet, a school which prepared students for Harvard College, and which was situated near the spreading chestnut tree, celebrated in Longfellow's poem. He was married on June 7, 1655, to Sarah Stearns, of Watertown, and located at The Farms. He was made freeman in 1657. He became a prosperous farmer and land-holder, and his name frequently appears on the records for various services. For the first and almost the only time the name of Stone is found among those fined for felling and ftroying timb on ye comon lands, in the record of a meeting of the selectmen, held in 1660. This was not an unusual misdemeanor in those days. In 1663-4-7 he was appointed surveyor of highways. In 1669 he was one of a committee to run the bounds between Concord and Cambr

William Kilcop, 1646, bought of William Roberts, of wapping in ould England A house and Land, ten acres in Gibbonsfield. He had no issue here, and in 1657 sold the estate to Henry Harbard. Abraham Jaquith, 1649, had a house and land without the Neck, but whether on the Somerville or Charlestown side of the line is uncertain; but he left no descendants here. Francis Grissell, or Griswold, 1649, had a dwelling, house and three-fourths of an acre of land at the West End, which he bought of Richard Wilson. Descendants are here through his daughter Hannah, who married John Kent, and of them, more anon. Henry Harbour, or Harbard, 1657, had a house and ten acres of land in Gibbons-field, which he bought of William Kilcop. His first wife was the widow of Richard Miller, and, having no issue himself, left a large part of his property to her descendants. William Bullard, 1658, perhaps
