Hillsborough
County, New Hampshire |
For many years prior to 1740, the
boundary lines of the province of New Hampshire were in dispute.
Massachusetts claimed that the
division boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was defined by a line
drawn from a point on the Atlantic coast 3 miles north of the mouth of the
Merrimack River, and running on the northerly and easterly side of the river,
at a distance of 3 miles from it, to a point 3 miles beyond
the parallel of the junction of the Winnipiseogee and the Pemigewasset; thence
due west to the Connecticut. This included all the territory included in
the present-day limits of Hillsborough County, with the exceptions of the town
of Pelham and a portion of the town of Hudson which was more than 3 miles from
the Merrimack River. It also included the whole of Cheshire County and
the larger part of the present-day Merrimack and Sullivan Counties.
New Hampshire claimed for her southern
boundary a line due west from the same point on the ocean. By this claim
the towns of Pelham, Hudson, Litchfield, Nashua, Merrimack, Hollis, Amherst and
other towns lying within about 14 miles of latitude were conceded to be within
Massachusetts.
The ancient town
of Dunstable , which contained more than two hundred square miles, and
included all of the towns named above and portions of other towns within the
present limits of New Hampshire, made a part of the county of Middlesex, in
Massachusetts, and had not, before 1740, been regarded by any party as in part
the territory of the province of New Hampshire.
The boundary between
Massachusetts and New Hampshire was finally determined, in 1741, by the King
himself who ended the controversy in favor of New Hampshire, and fixed the
present boundary, granting a much larger territory to New Hampshire than had
been claimed earlier. Upon the settlement of the question, the towns which
had had a corporate existence under Massachusetts were rechartered by the
province of New Hampshire, and new towns were formed from those portions of
existing towns cut off from Massachusetts.
In 1771, New Hampshire was
divided into five counties. Hillsborough County was formed at that
time as one of the original counties.
By 1823, there were 42 townships
within Hillsborough County (see 1823
map and profile ). Several of the northern townships were set off to
the newly formed Merrimack County the same year. The townships which
became part of Merrimack County were: Andover, Boscawen, Bradford,
Dunbarton, Fishersfield, Henniker, Hooksett, Hopkinton, New London, Salisbury,
Sutton, and Warner.
The
county seat: Nashua & Manchester.
Communities in Hillsborough
County, New Hampshire include the following:

Goffstown, Greenfield, Greenville, Hancock, Hillsborough, Hollis, Hudson,

Thank you for your kind offer of assistance
Jackie!!!!
Jackie
Marshall ([email protected]), genealogy chair for the Historical Society of
Amherst, has graciously volunteered to do look-ups in some of the databases she
has been working on. The databases are listed below. Please
respectfully LIMIT your request to one or two names at a time.
1.
Amherst, NH Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1884-1903:
Description of database: Vital record information from the Amherst Town
Reports from 1884 to the present. So far, Jackie has already indexed the
births, marriages, & deaths from 1884 to 1903. If you are looking for
births, marriages or deaths after 1903, please specify a close, approximate
date when requesting a look-up. Contact: Jackie Marshall
([email protected])
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the years
as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source, subject to
error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will be further
information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.
2.
Names of out-of-town residents buried in Amherst, 1884-1952:
Description of database: Jackie has indexed the existing names of people
who died out of town & were brought to Amherst for burial (when the Town
Reports have this listing, which isn't every year) from 1884 to 1952. The
information for the out-of-town deaths is highly variable, sometimes just a
name, sometimes the place where they died, and sometimes more.
Contact: Jackie Marshall ([email protected])
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the
years as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source,
subject to error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will
be further information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.
3.
Cemetery Inscriptions for Cricket Corner Cemetery, Chestnut Hill Cemetery,
Meadow View Cemetery and Amherst Town Hall Burying Ground.
Description of database: An on-going cemetery survey project is underway,
and plans are being made to post the completed index online. Jackie has
offered to look-up information in those completed by volunteers thus far.
She writes: "So far we've recorded 2,466 burials from the following
Amherst cemeteries: Cricket Corner, Chestnut Hill, and Meadow
View. The Boy Scouts Troop 22 finished the Chestnut Hill cemetery, my
daughter & I finished the Cricket Corner Cemetery, and Meadow View has a
ways to go but is certainly well over 3/4 complete. I haven't entered the Amherst
Town Hall Burying Ground in the data base yet, but have an index on hand.
This cemetery has been transcribed in the past and I'd like to double check the
stones. St. Patrick's cemetery still needs to be done."
Contact: Jackie Marshall ([email protected])
4.
Jackie Marshall's Family Tree Maker File of Amherst Families
Jackie's description of database: "First I entered all the families
that Daniel F. Secomb recorded in the genealogy
portion of his book, History of the Town of Amherst, Hillsborough County,
New Hampshire [1883]. I've been adding to the
families using the cemetery information, the town reports, and the census. I've
also used some other local town histories. You can't imagine how many
differences there are between all these sources! Family Tree Maker lets me put
in the multiple birth dates (for example) with each source. It would be up to
the family researcher to locate the primary record and make the judgment about
which is correct. Usually the differences are slight: May or Mar, Jan or Jun,
the date off by a few days, or the year having one year difference. Sometimes
it's way out of
the ballpark too. Interesting because it shows us how vulnerable secondary
sources can actually be. Add that to the fact that I'm re-copying all this
& am also susceptible to making typos (9 instead of 0), there is always
room for error, but I think it can be a useful clue tool. Contact: Jackie

supervision of D. Hamilton Hurd, "History of
Hudson," by Kimball Webster, Philadelphia : J. W. Lewis & Co.,
1885. (pp. 474-475).
"It is a matter of regret that a complete list of the
names of all the soldiers who served their country, from this town [Hudson], in
the War of the Revolution, cannot be given.
"No town documents to show who they were can be found,
and a few of their names only are incidentally mentioned in the town records.
"Hon. Isaac W. Hammond, Assistant Secretary of State,
has kindly furnished some valuable information, some has been gathered from the
Adjutant-General's Reports, and some names have been obtained from other
sources.
"Within the limited time given to compete this history
it has been impossible for me to make an exhaustive research for all the names
of those patriotic soldiers possible to be obtained.
"The following names are given as a partial list of
the men from Nottingham West who were soldiers in the War of the Revolution.
"NOTTINGHAM WEST SOLDIERS IN THE REVOLUTION.

Lexington battle, on the 19th day of April, 1775."

TEMPLE
"History of Temple", from D. Hamilton Hurd's,
1885, History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire1, pp. 672-677,
transcribed here by Ann Mensch.
CHAPTER I.
TEMPLE.
Geographical--Original Grants--Masonian Proprietors--Incorporation of
Town--First Town-Meeting--Petition for Incorporation--Secon
Petition for Incorporation--Documentary History--Various
Petitions--Lottery--Inhabitants in 1784--Columbian Library.
The town of Temple lies on the southwestern
part of the county and is bounded as follows:
North, by Peterborough , Greenfield and Lyndeborough ; east, by
Lyndeborough and Wilton ; south, by Mason and New Ipswich ; west, by Sharon and
Peterborough .
This township embraced several tracts of land granted to
individuals by the government of Massachusetts prior to 1740. The
territory was granted by the Masonian proprietors in November, 1750, with the
usual reservations. For some years it was called Peterborough Slip, and
included the present town of Sharon .
The town was incorporated August 26, 1768, and included one
tier of lots on the west side of Wilton and the easterly portion of what was
formerly known as Peterborough Slip or Sliptown,
and was named for Hon. John Temple. Ephraim Heald was authorized to call
the first town-meeting, which duty he performed, and the meeting was held at
the house of Zedekiah Drury, October 10, 1768.
A dispute concerning a strip of land between this town and New
Ipswich resulted in favor of Temple.
By an act passed January 12, 1781, a tract of land containing
about four hundred acres, lying north of this town, called Borland's farm, was
annexed to Temple.
January 29, 1789, some territory was severed from the southest [sic] corner of Peterborough, and annexed to this
town.
By an act approved June 11, 1796, a considerable tract of land
was severed from Lyndeborough and annexed to Temple.
Petition for Incorporation.--The following is a copy of the
petition for the incorporation of the town:
