Meetinghouse pews, a court writ & a family will

A memorandum proposing conditions for pews in the meetinghouse: their arrangement, floor height, maintenance, family seating, price, construction, and a committee to mark out spaces. The signatures include Samuel Palmer, Josiah Moulton, William Dearborn, Philip Towle, and John Dearborn. The reverse carries pew measurements. Full sides, the faint docket, and close-ups remain together; the date notation is retained as written.

A court-paper copy concerning Jonathan Shaw of Hampton and defendants including Joseph Philbrick, Josiah Moulton Jr., Jonathan Brown, Joseph Dow, and Samuel Palmer. The text alleges a wrongful warrant, distraint, and imprisonment. The conclusion carries the date April 27, 1761, and identifies it as a copy of the original writ. This is a description of the document’s allegations, not a finding that they were proved. Full sides, docket, folded view, and details are preserved.

A manuscript will identifying Joseph Palmer of Hampton and setting out bequests of property and money to family members. It names sons Joseph and Samuel as executors, discusses an absent son Benjamin, and includes bequests to daughters Mary Perkins and Hannah Blake. The opened sides, blank panels, closer page views, closing signature and witnesses, and folded exterior are retained together.

A two-column manuscript list of names and amounts. Several Dow entries appear among many Hampton-area surnames. The supplied view does not establish its date, purpose, or the units represented by the figures, so it is not yet labeled as a tax, subscription, or assessment list. Tears, folds, and missing portions are visible. The opposite side and closer views from the following upload are included here as a continuation.
