DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Hand-Book of Exeter, New Hampshire On the evening of April 19, 1775, a rumor reached Exeter of the fight at Lexington, and immediately the town was all excitement; at daybreak on the receipt of fuller particulars, the alarm bells called the people to arms. The unanimous voice was that every man that could be spared should march at once to the relief of their countrymen, and at nine o'clock on that day a company of one hundred and eight men were assembled in front of the court-house - nearly opposite the First church - under the command of Captain Hackett, ready to start. They arrived at the common in Cambridge at two o'clock on the following afternoon. At the end of a fortnight the emergency having passed, they were allowed to return home highly complimented by the officers with whom they came in contact.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from History of the Town of Exeter, New Hampshire The orthography of proper names has been a source of perplexity. A uniform rule is hard to fix and harder to follow. In spite of the best intentions variations have crept in. My only consolation is that I have probably not spelt names in half so many ways as their owners did. My thanks are especially due to Professor Bradbury L. Cilley for the unlimited use of the manuscripts of his grandfather, the Hon. John Kelly, and of the late William Smith, Esq., each of whom planned a history of the town; also to John Ward Dean, Esq., of Boston, and to my townsmen Messrs. George W. Dearborn, John T. Perry, William H. Belknap, Edward Giddings and many others who have most obligingly aided me in obtaining information. It would be idle to suppose that this work is free from mistakes. In writing the history of a town the difficulties may be said to be in a direct ratio to the remoteness of the period treated of. Exeter being two hundred and fifty years old, the information respecting it has had to be gleaned from a multitude of sources, and the liabilities to errors of all kinds are correspondingly increased. The greatest care and pains have been bestowed, however, to insure accuracy, and it is hoped that mistakes will not be found to be numerous or important. My townsmen will of course note many omissions, due for the most part to limited time and space. It is not believed that they will seriously detract from the value of the work to others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Men and Things of Exeter: Sketches From the History of an Old New Hampshire Town The earliest permanent settlement of New Hampshire, by Europeans, was made at Little Harbor, now within the limits of Rye, and at Dover Point, in 1623. How soon afterwards the more adventurous of the "fishermen and traders" who constituted the early population there, explored the river as far upward as the falls of Squamscott, we have no record. There is a distinct tradition, however, that there were residents in Exeter before the arrival of Wheelwright and his followers from Massachusetts in 1638. Whether they were occupying under the deed of the Indian sagamores of 1629 to Wheelwright, or whether the alleged deed of that date is spurious, are questions which need not be discussed here.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire: A Historical Sketch A hundred years ago, there stood on the Northern side of Water street, nearly opposite the site of the present town hall in Exeter, a somewhat stately dwelling-house, of the architectural style of the olden time, and surmounted with a hipped roof. From time to time afterward it underwent various transformations, none of them for the better, and finally disappeared, within the memory cf the present gener ation, to make way for modern business structures. This was the Phillips mansion, and its early occupant was the Founder of the Academy, in Exeter, which bears his name.

The first two of those towns were set off into independent municipalities in 1727, the third in 1741, and the last two in 1742. Stratham, also, though its territory was never a part of the original township, was by law united in government with Exeter from 1692 to 1716, and was in effect a part of it many years before.
