CENTRE OF GEORGETOWN IN THE YEAR 1800.
BY SIDNEY PERLEY.

THE frontispiece is a map of the centre of the West parish of Rowley, or New Rowley (now Georgetown), in 1800. It includes the territory measuring a mile and thirty rods in length and two hundred and twenty-five rods in width, and is drawn on a scale of fifty rods to an inch, being based on actual surveys and title deeds. It shows Andover street to a point about five rods beyond the Noyes house; West Main street to the Crosby house; North street to Summer street; Main street to the eastern end of Union cemetery; and Elm street to Chestnut street. It shows the location of the cemetery, church, schoolhouse, and all the houses standing in 1800. ·

On North street, the ditch at the blacksmith shop of Charles Holmes was the eastern boundary of the David Tenney house lot, the northerly boundary being the line between the estates of George H. Carleton and the late Daniel E. Moulton on West Main street. The dividing line between the estates of Capt. Benjamin Adams and William Dole is now within the railroad location. The line between the lots of William Dole and David Tenney is the present boundary between the estates of Orlando B. Tenney and William Kendall. The line shown on the map between the lots of David Tenney and Samuel Burbank is the present line between the brick schoolhouse lot and the Noyes shoe-factory building. The line bounding the rear of the three lots last mentioned runs from the southwestern side of the yard of the First church. The line dividing John Brocklebank's and

Benjamin Wallingford's estates at the Andover road began on the western boundary of the town-house yard.

The dotted parallel lines crossing Andover street shows the location of an old proprietor's road, running between ranges of lots in the three thousand acres.

Burying ground. The burying ground was only the eastern end of the present Union cemetery. This land belonged to Joseph Nelson, and when his wife died, June 5, 1732, he buried her body on this southern slope instead of carrying the remains to Byfield. Some other bodies were subsequently interred here, and, Feb. 27, 1733-4, Mr. Nelson conveyed to the "West parish of Rowley," for two pounds and ten shillings, the lot shown on the map, being " One quarter of an Acre of Land for a buryinge place which land is Scituate in ye Township of Rowley aforesa and Near ye Meeting in sa parish which land includes the graves of those already buried in sa parish and is bounded as followeth (vizt) ten rods upon ye Road or highway this being ye Northerly bound then bounded Easterly and Westerly four rods and Southerly ten Rods by ye Land Remaineing in my possession."

Gage, in his History of Rowley, says that the yard was enlarged by purchase of land from Rev. Moses Hale, in 1755, but there is no record of the transfer in the registry of deeds. Moses Hale, jr., gentleman, owned the adjoining land at that time, to be sure, but he was not the clergyman of that name. An addition of half an acre was made on the western end, however, Dec. 5, 1805, by purchase.
