Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 14., The ancient name Menotomy and the river of that name. (search)
Town and no other, except for bayte, all the Aylwifs he shall take at III s VI pr thousand. On April 4th, 1636, it was ordered by the Town,That Walter Nichols shall pull vpp the boarded weire in Menotemis River. Whether this order to pull up the weir was in anticipation of the order of the General Court, June 6, 1639, to set open the weirs from Saturday noon till Monday morning, to allow the fish to pass, or for its entire removal, is not plain, but probably the former, for on the 23rd of April, 1636, Andrew Warner was Apointed to see a cartway made to the weire. In February, 1686, the weir and weir field were let to Nathaniel Patten for thirty shillings for the ensuing year, and in April he was chosen to look after the gate at Notomie Bridge, for which the rent of the weir was to be allowed him. At a meeting of the proprietors, March 25, 1720, it was voted that the privilege of the weirs for catching of fish, with the lands thereto appertaining belongs to said proprietors.
