Hancock, New Hampshire Town Hall - Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed in Hancock, New Hampshire.

The Hancock town hall is on the common, across from the Congregational Church and the Pine Ridge Cemetery.  The first "meetinghouse" was the church across the street, with it's bell made by Paul Revere, built in 1790, and the bell tower added later.  In 1871 the church and town government separated, and the town hall was built across the street. According to The History of Hancock, New Hampshire page 288, "W. S. Carkin, who [it is conjectured] contributed the elegant weather-vane, so useful as ornamental, which now rests on the cupola of this structure".  The new building served as a school, as well as for meetings and town offices. 

The town separated from Peterborough in 1779 and was named after John Hancock. He owned land in what is now the center of town. The first settler in Hancock was John Grimes, a Scots Irish man from Londonderry. He settled in Hancock in 1764 for a brief time, but returned to Londonderry.  

In the 2010 census there were 204 people residing in the main village (the junction of NH state routes 123 and 137) and a total of 1,654 in the town of Hancock.  My 5th great grandparents, John Emerson and Catharine Eaton, removed from Massachusetts to Hancock after the Revolutionary War.  In 1790 the population of the town was 634 people, then it jumped up to 1,184 around the time of their deaths (1809).  The population of the town dropped during the Civil War and reached a low of 531 in 1920.  The estimate for 2017 (according to Wikipedia) has dropped again down to 1,640.  None of John and Catherine Emerson's eleven children lived in Hancock (or even New Hampshire) after marriage - they all removed to distant places such as Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio.  Farming the stony soil in the hills of the Monadnock region of New Hampshire was not profitable. 

As you can read above, the weathervane above the cupola on the Hancock town hall dates from about 1871.  It is a scrollwork weathervane, probably mass produced in a local New England factory, which was a common product in this time period.  Scroll weathervanes were popular, replacing the banner weathervanes of the eighteenth century. This arrow style scroll features a heart shaped tail.

Hancock - Greenfield Covered Bridge , New Hampshire - Photo Friday

 This covered bridge was photographed over the Contoocook River between Greenfield and Hancock, New Hampshire.  

While we were out in the little red convertible this fall, toodling around the Monadnock Region to see the foliage colors and to visit a burial ground in Hancock, we came across this little covered bridge.  I remembered it from my childhood when we used to go camping almost every summer at the Greenfield State park.  

Every covered bridge in New Hampshire is numbered. There are officially 54 wooden covered bridges in New Hampshire, and this bridge is #8 on the state list, called the County Bridge or the Hancock-Greenfield Bridge.  It dates from 1937, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.  The original covered bridge was built in 1852, but was damaged in the 1936 floods which took out many of the bridges across New England.  Car traffic is allowed on this bridge. 

My Emerson ancestors lived in Hancock, but they never saw either covered bridge over the Contoocook River. The last Emersons in my lineage both died in Hancock in 1809, and their children all moved away. 

The Contoocook River is not very long (only 71 miles), but it has four covered bridges: The Contoocook Railroad Bridge (1849 - 1850), Rowell's Bridge in West Hopkinton (1853), this bridge above, and the New England College Bridge (1972) on the campus of New England College in Henniker for pedestrians only.  

The oldest covered bridge in New Hampshire is the Bath-Haverhill Bridge built in 1827.  It carries only foot traffic.  There were two bridges built in 1832, another one in Bath, and one in West Swanzey called the Thompson Bridge (both carry foot and car traffic).

Hancock, New Hampshire Congregational Church - Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed on the steeple above the Hancock, New Hampshire Congregational Church. 

The Hancock Congregational Church was gathered in 1788, and the current building was erected in 1820 as the Hancock Meetinghouse.  It was rebuilt and moved in 1851 to create two floors, the first floor served as the town hall and the second floor was the sanctuary for church services. The church has remained exactly like this up until a recent 2014 restoration project described below.

The weathervane here dates from 1820. It was restored and regilded during the recent restoration. It is a simple two dimensional banner, with a lyre shaped tail, similar to many seen around New England at this time period.  According to town reports, it was regilded after the 1938 hurricane, which it thankfully survived! 

In 2019 the Hancock Congregational Church received a Preservation Achievement Award from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. The recent 2014 restoration project improved the original timber framing, mechanical systems, installed a lift, added restrooms, restored this weathervane and steeple, restored the original windows, and more.  A quote from the Preservation Alliance says "This award salutes Hancock's high quality foundation-to-weathervane-work fueled by strong community support and a great team."

In the above photo you can see the Hancock Church, the brick vestry building, and the town common.  The little red convertible is parked next to the Pine Ridge Cemetery, where I was looking for the graves of my 5th great grandparents John and Catharine (Eaton) Emerson. They removed to Hancock, New Hampshire from Reading, Massachusetts around 1788 or 1790 where they raised their children.  They had eleven children, one died before they moved to New Hampshire, and nine grew to adulthood. Three of their nine sons became ministers!  They signed the church covenant in 1805. I'm sure they were very loyal members of this Congregational Church.  John and Catharine's tombstone in Hancock can be seen at this link: https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2020/11/john-and-catherine-eaton-emerson.html  

My 4th great grandfather, Romanus Emerson (1782 - 1852) grew up in Hancock, and planned on becoming a minister, too, but he had a speech impediment.  He went to South Boston, where he became an infamous atheist.  Imagine that! You can read about the "infidel" Romanus at this link:  https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2020/10/romanus-emersons-obituaries-1852.html

John and Catherine (Eaton) Emerson - Tombstone Tuesday

 These tombstones were photographed at the Pine Ridge Cemetery in Hancock, New Hampshire.

JOHN EMERSON,

in whose memory

this monument

is erected,

died Nov. 14, 1809

AEt. 70

CATHARINE EMERSON,

wife of

John Emerson

died

Jan. 24, 1809

AEt. 64

The memory of the just is blessed.

John and Catharine Emerson are my 5th great grandparents.  John Emerson is the son of Brown Emerson (1704 - 1774)  and Sarah Townsend (b. 1705) of Reading, Massachusetts.  He was from a long line of ministers and deacons, and his great grandfather was the Reverend Joseph Emerson of Concord, Massachusetts, who married Elizabeth Bulkely, the daughter of the famous Reverend Edward Bulkely, the first minister of Concord.  John was baptized on 5 April 1739 in South Reading and he served in the Revolutionary War as an ensign in Captain Thomas Eaton's company at the Lexington Alarm in 1775.  John moved his family from Reading to Ashby and Townsend, Massachusetts, and then to New Ipswich, New Hampshire and Reading Vermont.  He settled in Hancock in 1793 on property number 22 between Mount Skatutahkee and Little Skatutahkee.  

John married his wife, Catharine Eaton, on 20 December 1764 in Reading, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Noah Eaton (1704 - 1770) and Phebe Lilley (1706 - 1786) of Reading. She had an extensive obituary which outlined her life published in The Panoplist and Missionary Magazine United, Volume 2, issue 2, (August 1809) pages 151 - 152.  I wrote a blog post about her, with a transcription of this obituary, at this link:  https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2013/12/amanuensis-monday-obituary-of-katherine.html   

John and Catharine were the parents of eleven children, with seven sons and two daughters surviving childhood.  Three of the sons became ministers.  Since this was a very religious family, I'm thinking that perhaps John wrote Catharine's obituary.  She died in December of 1808, and he died less than a year later on 14 November 1809.  I descend from their son, Romanus Emerson (1782 - 1852), who was not a minister, but instead became a self-proclaimed infidel (atheist).  He was quite famous for being a non-believer, and even belonged to a society of infidels in Boston and faced many legal issues due to his beliefs.

Amanuensis Monday ~ The Will of William Munroe, 14 Nov. 1716

Among the family papers my cousin found earlier this year was a typed transcription of our 7^th great grandfather’s last Will and Testament.  William Munroe (1625 – 1718) was born in Scotland.  As a young man he fought on the side of the crown at the Battle of Worcester, during the English Civil War.  Many Scots warriors at this battle were captured by the Puritan forces of Cromwell, and sold into servitude in the New World. 

William not only survived his forced march to London, but also survived the voyage to Boston.  He was sold as an indentured servant and eventually gained his freedom and settled in Lexington, Massachusetts.  He outlived three wives and had fourteen children!   In his will he names all of the children who had lived until 1716 (only missing Susanna), the year he wrote the document.  He died on 27 January 1718, a very aged man for his time.

I did not transcribe this will.  It was transcribed and typed up by my 2^nd great grand aunt Olivia Adeline Munroe (1836 – 1905).  I recognized her typewriter, and her carbon paper ink color used on this transcription as the same type as some of the other documents she had signed.   On most of the documents she had put her married initials A. M. G, for Addie Munroe Grout. 

There are three witnesses who signed this document.  One is John Hancock.  This is not the famous John Hancock who signed the Declaration of Independence, but is his grandfather John Hancock (1671- 1752), a resident of Lexington and the local minister.   Another witness, Benjamin Muzzy 3^rd is a 1^st cousin to me, 8 generations removed and closely related to the MOOERS family of Rowley.  Three of the MOOERS sisters married three of William Munroe’s sons!

I love the line in this will that is a warning to his children.  He demands that there will be no quibbling about this last will and testament with the words "... if any of my children are contentious about their portions; they shall forfeit the same unto their brethren".  Great idea, Great Grandpa!  If I had several children I would be tempted to put those same words into my own will.

Another Cow, a Salmon, and Sam Adams

Yesterday I blogged about a cow, so I thought I’d try another cow story from the family tree…

Sam Adams, the revolutionary firebrand, and John Hancock (no wallflower, himself) were in Lexington, Massachusetts the night Paul Revere rode into town to warn them that the British regulars were approaching. They were at the home of the Reverend Jonas Clarke of Lexington when they heard the British regulars were on the march. So Sgt. William Munroe led the group from Lexington to Capt. James Reed’s house on the Burlington line (it stood on the south side of where the Burlington Mall parking lot is now). They were all just sitting down to a dinner of “a fine salmon” when they heard the warning, so a servant led them to safety to the Amos Wyman House. According to the “History of Woburn” by the Reverend Samuel Sewall:

“Mr. Marrett next conducted Mrs. Jones' illustrious visitors to the house of Mr. Amos Wyman, situate in an obscure corner of Bedford, Billerica and Woburn Precinct, where were collected the women and children of several of the neighboring families, who had flex thither for safety; fearing that if they remained at home, "the regulars" might come, and murder them, or carry them off. And now, as soon as Messrs. Hancock and Adams had had time to become calm after their flight, they besought Mrs. Wyman to give them a little food; saying they had had neither breakfast nor dinner that day. Their good natured hostess, in ready compliance with their request, took down from a shelf a wooden tray, containing some cold boiled salt pork, and also (it is believed) some cold boiled potatoes unpeeled, and brown bread; and upon this plain, course fare, they made a hearty meal. Upon their return to Mrs. Jones' the next day, they learned that the enemy had not come there in pursuit of them. Either they never intended it, or else, being closely pursued from Concord by their exasperated and hourly increasing Yankee foes, they thought it best to take a prudent care for their own safety, rather than to digress in their march, into the neighboring towns, in pursuit of Hancock and Adams. Not many years since, it was a current report in Lexington, that Hancock, in gratitude to Mrs. Wyman for her kindness to him and Adams at her house, in their flight for fear of the British, made a present to her of a cow.”

Mrs. Wyman’s cow has become quite a well known story in Middlesex County, and it is retold in many history books and websites. She gave these upper crust people all she had to eat, and just like the biblical widow of Zarephath, who fed Elijah, she was given her reward. The Wymans and the Munroes are all from my family tree.



The Amos Wyman home stood on the current Francis Wyman Road, just down the street from the historic Francis Wyman House. Amos was a descendant of the Francis Wyman who lived in the original home, the oldest house in Burlington (then part of Woburn) built in 1666. The Amos Wyman cellar hole is in Billerica, marked by a plaque on a nearby rock.  I'm a descendant of Francis Wyman, and cousin to all the Wymans in Middlesex County.

For a previous blog story about the Francis Wyman house, click here.

For More Information:

The History of Woburn by Samuel Sewell, Boston, Wiggin and Lunt Publishers, 1868 (page 366 has the story about Hancock, Adams and the cow)

The drawing is a mural at the Burlington Historical Museum painted in 1973 by Don Grovette and Jeff Weaver. It shows Mrs. Jones, Rev. Marrett, John Hancock, Cuff Trot, Sam Adams and his fiancé Dorothy Quincy sitting down to eat that “fine salmon.”

The old photo is from page 59 of the book Beneath the Old Roof Trees by Abram English Brown, Boston, Lee & Shepard, 1896, showing the path Hancock and Adams took from the parsonage in Lexington.
