Historic leaves, volume 2, April, 1903 - January, 1904, Charlestown Schools in the 18th century. (search)
ing (1704) £ 28 was voted ‘for the schoolmaster to make up his Sallery to £ 40.’ We have not attempted to verify the account of Thomas Tufts, to be found in Brook's History of Medford, and Wyman's Charlestown Genealogies. He graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1701. While there he received £ 40 per year, by the terms of his grandfather's will. (This was as good as teaching school!) He was the son of Peter Tufts, Jr., (styled ‘Capt. Peter’). His mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Lynde. He was born in Medford, March 31, 1683, and married for his first wife, his cousin, Mary Lynde. She died September 3, 1718, and the following January 29 he married Emma, daughter of Captain Samuel Phipps. Thomas Tufts died December 26, 1733. Wyman records the births of his children. December 25, 1704, it would appear that the school was again without a teacher, for it was ‘voted that the Selectmen be a committee to provide a Gramer Schoolmaster for the Town forthwith as soo

sell, who had acquired title of Collins, and he of the Cradock heirs. It is well to remember that territorially the Medford of its earliest days was but about four square miles entirely surrounded by Charlestown, entirely north of the river, and Peter Tufts' purchase in the eastern corner. And Peter Tufts (father or son, perhaps both) had a dwelling-house erected. Young Peter, who successively was Ensign, Leftenant and Captain Peter, was twenty-two when he took unto himself a wife, Elizabeth Lynde of Malden, in 1670. As their daughter Anna, born in 1676, is the first written in Medford records, there may have been more of the family that we have no record of. What legends shall we build up of that time, the Medford people, and its dwellings and homes? Well, the Medford people of that day were not the cosmopolitan Americans of today; they were English emigrants and their children, distant but loyal subjects of the British king. Peter Tufts' boyhood was during the time of Cro
