Historic leaves, volume 3, April, 1904 - January, 1905, John S. Edgerly: and his home on Winter Hill (search)

He was one of the executors of the will of his brother Simon, who died in 1665. At the beginning of the year 1668 there is recorded an order of the selectmen for the cattichifing of the youth of the town. Deacon Stone, and Deacon Chefholme were appointed to perform that office for the youth at The Farms. Two years later a similar order is recorded, with Edward Oakes as his associate. Another item says: Deacon Stone & Deacon Cooper for those fam. on the west side of the Common, and for Watertown lane, as far towards the town as Samuel Hastings'. At this time he
