I am desperately looking for my husbands family. His grandfather was Frederick Peacor. His great grandfather was George Peacor, married to Mary Wright Peacor. They supposedly were buried in Northville cemetary in Newport New Hampshire. That is all of the information that I have. I also know that George was born in 1849 and died in 1922. Any information on this family would be appreciated. Thank you, Joan Peacor

You began picking up the Fort 4 material on your own. I would never say to remove my name from my Fort 4 submissions! Glad we have had this opportunity to clear things up. I dont stutter and dont mumble. I am quite clear on things I say. Janice Subj: [MAWORCES-L] Apology for "Welcome to Conn River..." Date: 99-06-21 04:08:16 EDT From: lesterps@juno.com (Lester M Powers) To: MAWORCES-L@rootsweb.com Now that "BSpadea102@aol.com" seems to be falling into the trap, I need to explain and to apologize for a couple of recent messages from "Cynthia <cyndylou3 @earthlink.net>" such as "Re: Welcome to Conn River Valley list." Please look the other way on this one. Cynthia runs the list, Ct-River-Valley-L@rootsweb.com. She saw a note I had posted on MAWORCES-L and reposted this note on her own Ct-River-Valley-L list on my behalf. Unbeknownst to her, somehow things got tangled so that my PRIVATE e-mail address became a sort of a clone for MAWORCES-L on her machine at her end. In other words, messages she sent to me, meant to be private, were somehow copied back in a loop to MAWORCES-L! You weren't supposed to get those messages (I think maybe two or three of them). I have alerted Cynthia to the problem, and I hope it is fixed now. Note to MAWORCES-L list manager -- beware of this for a little while. Cynthia's private messages to me have been getting sidetracked into public on MAWORCES-L by accident. MEANWHILE, does anyone know WHY Greenwich, MA got settled in the first place? That was the original question. It was land awarded for service in some war or other, but which war?

William Dudley. Boston, 28th June 1738 (listed is the material above) p.13 The next meeting of the Proprietors of No. 4 on the East Side of the Connecticut River being legally warned and assembled this 29th day of September, 1740. "The Proprietors being informed that by the Determination of his Majesty in Council respecting the Controverted Bounds between the Province of the Massachusetts Bay and New-Hampshire, they are Excluded from the Province of the Massachusetts Bay to which they always supposed them- selves to belong. Therefore Unanimously Voted that a petition be refered to the Kings' Most Excellent Majesty, setting fourth our distressed Estate and praying we may be annexed to the said Massachusetts Province: That Thomas Hutchinson, Esq., be Impowered to present the said petition to his Majesty and to appear and fully act for and in behalf of this town Respecting the subject matter of said Petition according to His Discression. Thomas Wells, Moderator Voted - That the charges of this Meeting amounting to the sum of f2. 11s. 0, be paid by the Proprietors. Thomas Wells" Author's note: How much had been done previous to this time in pre- paring No. 4 for settlement cannot now be ascertained That some money had been expended is certain, but it is equally certain that some of the improvements which the proprietors voted to make had not been made. From their petition to His Majesty to be reannexed to Massachusetts, IF the proprietors ever heard, no record was made of it. It was of such a nature, that they could scarcely have had any expectation that it would receive a favorable answer. The exclusion of the township from Massachusetts was a great disappointment to the proprietors, and proved for upward of twenty years an exceedingly prolific source of trouble to the settlers, as from this history will hereafter be seen. p.14 The first settlement of No. 4 was made by three brothers Samuel, David and Stephen Farnsworth in 1740. They were natives of Groton, Massachusetts but at the time of their removal to No. 4, were of Lunenburg, MA. They were soon followed by Isaac Parker and sons and Obadiah Sartwell from Groton, MA, John Hastings of Hatfield, Moses Willard of Lunenburg and Phineas Stevens of Rutland, MA. __________________________________________________ End Part 4 of 4 The Granting of No.4 Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth

War Declared by Great Britain Against France and Spain FORTIFICATIONS ON THE FRONTIER Source: History of Charlestown, NH - Fort No. 4 by Rev. Henry H. Saunderson p.21 War was declared by Great Britain against France and Spain. This declaration was made on the 29th of March 1744 though it was not proclaimed in Boston until the June following. We shall better comprehend many things relating to this war by understanding the line of frontier which was open to attack, and which consequently required to be defend- ed. It must be remembered then, that the northern bound- ary of the settlements of New England and New York, at that time, was limited by a line commencing at St. George River in Maine, and running south-westerly parallel with the sea coast, embracing two or three ranges of towns until it intersected the Merrimac at Dunstable; thence up that river to the mouth of the Contoocook, and ascend- ing that river to its source, and continuing across the high lands to the head of the river Ashuelot; thence down that stream to Hinsdale and on a westerly course, crossing the Connecticut River at Fort Dummer. Leaving the Connecticut at that point the boundary extended in a south-west direction, crossing Bernardston and Coleraine to North River, in the latter town; thence down that river to its junction with Deerfield River and up this river through the valley of Charlemont to Hoosac Mount- ain; thence over the mountain nearly "in the old turn- pike road" to Hoosac River in Adams; thence following that stream to its junction with the Hudson. This was the New England frontier to be defended, in addition to which, were such settlements as were on the Connecti- cut River above the Ashuelot. On this frontier nearly all the important places had erected temporary fortifications which were tenable only against Indian attacks with musketry, but which, as they were not liable generally to any different assaults, in the absence of stronger defences, answered very import- ant purposes for their protection. They became places of refuge into which, in times of Indian incursions, the inhabitants could flee and ordinarily be safe, till their savage enemies had passed on to make depredations on some other settlement, or were on their march back to Canada. On this frontier, west of the Connecituct, the govern- ment of Massachusetts in the certainty that there was to be war, authorized the building of a cordon of forts, to extend from Fort Dummer to her western boundary; and thence down that boundary to the north line of Connecti- cut. Under this authorization the old defences at North- field and Greenfield were repaired; some mounts were erected and several houses were stockaded in Bernardston and Coleraine; a strong fort was built in the present town of Heath at the expense of the government and call- ed Fort Shirley; and another in Rome and named Fort Pel- ham; and a stronger fortress still in the present town of Adams called Fort Massachusetts. The following towns on the western frontier also had small defences, viz. Williamstown, Pittsfield, Stockbridge and Sheffield. At Blanford, farther in the State, a small work was also erected, not only for the protection of the settlers, but as a station on the then principal route to Kinder- hook and Albany in the State of New York. In addition to these defences there were Josiah Sartwell's Fort or Blockhouse built in 1738 in what was a part of Hinsdale but is now Vernon, VT., and Bridgman's Fort, which was built the same year and was deemed much stronger. Anoth- fort was east of the Connecticut River and nearly oppos- ite Sartwell's Fort in Hinsdale, NH, and was built in 1743 by Rev. Ebenezer Hinsdell, who was one of the proprietors of No. 4. Upper and Lower Ashuelot were also fortified by small block-houses. Such was the frontier to be defended in this war, and such the fortifications on which the settlers were to depend for protection. _____________________________________________________ Transcribed by Janice Farnsworth

Land Owners in Charlestown in 1754 p.636 to 638 Jno Hastings, Jr. Lots Nos. 20 and 21 should be John Hastings, Jr. Jno Hastings Lot No. 44 should be John Hastings. Thanks to Monoceros@worldnet.att.net for this correction. My transcription was correct, the Jno was in error. Whether the printer's error or Rev. Saunderson's is unknown. There was no Jonathan Hastings at Fort 4 listed anywhere else in the book, nor a child of any of the Hasting families listed at Fort 4. Janice Farnsworth

Vital records on the Sartwell family have been submitted by Glendon Moffett: (Thank you, Glendon) From: glmoffett@hotmail.com (glendon moffett) To: farns10th@aol.com I was just looking at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nh/sullivan/charlestown.htm for the Sartwell family. I am interested in them since one of my ancestors James Moffett married Betsy Sartwell ca 1797-1800 in Langdon, NH. In trying to verify data on James and his family I went through the Langdon Town Records (A Family History Center film which I can't place the actual film number at this moment) In going through the records I failed to find anything about James and Betsy's marriage or birth date of the four children Fanny, Alden, Lewis and the fourth one evades my memory. I did find many references to the Sartwells which I will now list. I don't know if you already have this data but if you don't you may find it helpful. Samuel Dart married Hannah Sartwell on Dec. 19, 1814 p616 Royal Sartwell married Elvira Evans on Jan 10, 1816 p618 Simon Sartwell marries Betsy Sartwell on Nov. 17, 1817 p622. Note this is not the same Betsy Sartwell that married James Moffett. James left Langdon in 1815 and went to Littleton, NH. Below is the listing in the Town Record of the births of the children of John and Betsy Sartwell. p637 Esther sartwell b. 4/12/1781 Charlestown, NH John Sartwell b. 4/29/1783 Charlestown, NH Eliab Sartwell b. 4/18/1785 Warren Sartwell b. 4/19/1787 Royal Sartwell b. 7/14/1789 Simon Sartwell b. 3/14/1791 Almony Sartwell b. 5/10/1793 Hannah Sartwell b. 7/19/1795 Harriet Sartwell b. 11/1/1797 Electal Sartwell b. 3/27/1800 Polly Sartwell b. 1/20/1777 Charlestown, NH Betsy Sartwell b. 3/16/1779 Charlestown, NH Warren Sartwell married Alta Wooley in Langdon on Dec. 17, 1820 p603 Ester Sartwell married John Humphrey in Langdon on Apr. 15, 1800 p603 Eliab Sartwell married Hannah Gordon in Langdon on June 1, 1806 p603 John Sartwell married Emma Crosby in Langdon on Mar 27, 1808 p603 Children of Eliab Sartwell and Hannah p 603 Oliver Sartwell b.

He was one of the orig. settlers of No. 4 and shared with them in the hazards of the Indian raids that were incidental to all the settlements on the frontier and appears to have been a man of more than ordinary intelligence. He was with his brother Samuel Farnsworth on the committee to contract for the building and keeping of a corn mill and a saw mill. From 1750 to 1760 he was the principal and nearly only surveyor of the town. On the 20th of April 1757 David and four others were taken prisoners by a party of abt 70 French and Indians. (see Fort 4 account of the capture) When he returned he removed his family to Hollis, NH where he was living at the time of the Revolution. Still later in his life he removed to the northern part of Vermont. Lieut. David Farnsworth and his wife, Hannah Hastings had issue at Charlestown, NH 1.
