March 3, 1755: Fish-officers were first chosen. May 10, 1756: The town petitions the General Court to consider them in the next valuation, for that the said town are greatly overdone upon sundry considerations. Voted to raise £ 90 (lawful money) for town expenses for this year. March 6, 1758: Voted that Samuel Brooks, Esq., Capt. Caleb Brooks, Zech. Poole, Stephen Bradshaw, Capt. Francis Whitmore, be a Committee to prefer a petition to the General Court for an abatement of taxes. 1768: Voted that a Committee be chosen to draw up and lay before the town some salutary method or plan for discouraging extravagance, and promoting industry and frugality amongst us.

In 1768, it was proposed to build it between the Meeting-house Brook, so called, and the widow Mary Greenleaf's. This was abandoned. April 4 of the same year, it was voted by the town thus: When the town builds a meeting-house, they will build said house upon the widow Watson's orchard, before her dwelling-house, provided said land can be procured on reasonable terms. This proposition was no more successful than the last. Aug. 22, 1768: Voted to build a meeting-house on land bought of Mr. John Bi
