Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Town of Huntington, in the County of Hampshire Mass: From Its First Settlement to the Year 1876
John Kirkland, Caleb Fobes, William Miller, David Scott, Isaac Mixer, John Rude, and Rhoades. John Kirkland resided on the hill, where C. H. Kirkland now lives; that place has, from the beginning, been in possession of the family of that name.
Isaac Mixer lived on the place now owned and occu pied by Horace Taylor, near Norwich bridge. Caleb Fobes lived a little farther up the river, where Mr. Brad ley now resides. William Miller, John Rude, and Rhoades lived several miles still farther up the stream, near the north line of the township; it was in a section long known as Norwich Hollow. William Miller Spent his first night in town on a small island near the 'present school-house in the Hollow. His object, in selecting this lodging-place, was to avoid the wolves which were then numerous. As in other new settlements, so here also.
