Charlestown,July 3,1710 [court location] This is a list of town folk who had not paid for their share of supporting the "grammar school". The selectmen of Malden took them to court and the court dismissed these folks from having to pay as the court felt it was important that the children got a good education "to read and write" regardless of whether the parents could afford to pay for the school fees. -- "a list of ye families ye bares publique charges In malden" [copied as shown in book] 1.Mr Parsons 2.Isaac Hill 3.Moses Hill 4.John Wilson 5.
