Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Town of Troy, New Hampshire, and Her Inhabitants: From the First Settlement of the Territory Now Within the Limits of the Town in 1764-1897 The history of Troy as a distinct corporation covers a period of eighty-two years, but as the first settlements made were on territory which forms a part of this town, it becomes necessary in giving the early history of this region, to speak of men and measures more or less intimately connected with the history of the towns from whose territory Troy was taken. Dr. A. M. Caverly collected the knowledge of the incidents occurring in the early history of this region, which was given a permanent form in the History of Troy, published in 1859, at the Sentinel office in Keene, and which forms the basis of the present work, making such changes as time and later researches have made necessary. Many of those who were the sole possessors of the information concerning the early history of Troy, passed from the stage of life soon after the publication of this history, which has preserved for future generations the traditions and incidents there given. The work was done at a time when but little attention was given to matters of this kind; but more interest being taken in local history and ancestral connections, several individuals expressed a desire that the history should be revised and brought down to a later date, and Mr. Edwin Buttrick brought the question before the town at the town meeting in November, 1890, and Dr. M. T. Stone was chosen to compile and revise the history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Historical Sketch of the Town of Methuen available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Town of Methuen: From Its Settlement to the Year 1876 It is not attempted in the following pages to present a complete history of the Town of Methuen. The limited time for preparation of this Sketch only admits a recital of the principal facts. No attempt to write the early history of this town has ever been made, and as the old times recede, and old people drop into their graves, much valuable material is becoming lost forever. The investigation necessary to prepare this paper has shown, that by proper effort many old traditions, and much valuable information, might be gathered which would be of great interest and value, not only to us, but to those who come after us. At present, however, we must be content with a rapid and imperfect statement of some of the principal facts in our history as a town. The native inhabitants of the valley of the Merrimack were the Penacook or Pawtucket Indians, of whom the Chief was Passaconnaway, always a firm friend of the settlers. These were subdivided into smaller tribes. The Agawams had their home on the coast, from the Merrimack to Cape Ann; the Wamesits at the junction of the Concord and Merrimack rivers (Lowell); the Pentiickets at the mouth of "Little river," in Haverhill; but no evidence appears showing that any particular Indian tribe had its home in Methuen. It is certain, however, that Bodwell's falls (at the Lawrence dam, ) and the shores of the Spicket as far as "Spicket falls," were favorite resorts of the Indians, especially during the fishing season.
