In the book The History of Gilsum NH it says...... on the 22d of August 1786, a peititon signed by a number of residents of Keene, Stoddard, and Gilsum was presented to the legislature, praying that portions of those towns and of Nelson be formed into a new township. This petition was granted, and on the 27 of September 1787, the township of Sullivan was incorporated.......
The following now proves that the farm owned by William Corey and bought by John Reed in 1789 was originally in Gilsum NH (William Corey is listed in the inhabitants of Gilsom/ Gilsum see below)....
This from the History of Sullivan NH...
TAKEN FROM TWO SOURCES:
1. History of Cheshire and Sullivan Counties, New Hampshire
Philadelphia: J.W. Lewis & Co., 1886, 1073 pgs.
2. Gazetteer of Cheshire County, N.H., 1736-1885 by Hamilton Child,
Syracuse, N.Y.: H. Child, 1885, 882 pgs.
page 340 & 396
HISTORY OF Sullivan NH
[EXCERPTS ONLY]
The original document requesting incorporation, dated 1786, lists the following requestors:
Inhabitants of Keene: Roswell Hubbard, Joshua Osgood, Zadock Nims, and Erastus Hubbard
Inhabitants of Packersfield: Grindal Keith and Oliver Carter
Inhabitants of Stoddard: -- Burnham, Nathan Bolster, Saml Seward, Josiah Seward, William Burnam, Samuel Wyman, Ezra Osgood, and Elijah Carter.
Inhabitants of Gilsom [sic Gilsum]: James Row, Timothy Dimmock, James Pratt, Joseph Ellis, William Cory, Samuel Cory, John Chapman, Benjamin Chapman, Benjamin Ellis, Simeon Ellis, Nathan Ellis, John Chapman Jr., Timothy Dewey, Thos Morse, Jesse Wheeler, Lockhart Willard, Jonathan Baker, John Dimock, Joshua Cory, Jonathan Heaton, James Locke Jr., James Lock, Ebenezer Birdit,
and John Row.
In 1787 two signers of a document requesting a change in the boundaries were Lemll Holmes and Absalom Kingsbery [sic]. Dec 20, 1793 a petition regarding the boundary was signed by selectmen of Keene, and these two selectmen from Sullivan:
Erastus Hubbard and Eliakim Nims.
This information may be helpful to other researchers who are looking for their ancestors in these towns.
Perhaps records for the John Reed mentioned in the book History of Sullivan are to be found in Gilsum NH?
Any help with finding info on John Reed in these towns appreciated, thank you
