the ancient road to Woburn from Cambridge. Capt. Cooke and others were appointed by the General Court to lay out the way from Cambridge to Woburn in 1643. This road leading from Woburn to Cambridge is described on the Woburn Records, in 1646, as leading to Cambridge mill and town the one way, and to Upstreet and Shawshin, in Woburn, the other way. In Woburn it was called Plain Street, from its going over the plain in the west side of what is now Winchester, where the same road now is.—See Sewall's Hist. Wob, p. 26. The laying out of this road from Woburn, and that also from Watertown, in 1638, show the importance of Cooke's mill to the early settlers of this region. is very near the former Charlestown line, which formed the eastern (or northern) boundary of Cooke's twenty acres, 1642-1652. See Wyman's Chs. 312. George and Alice Cooke had in Cambridge, Elizabeth, b. 27 Mar. 1640, died Aug. 1640; Thomas, b. 19 June 1642, died 16 Aug. 1642; Elizabeth, born 21 Aug. 1644, married Re

She denounced on them the vengeance of Heaven, and assured them that good old Doctor Sewall, the former Parson of the Church, would rise from his grave and carry them off. A Scotch sentinel was one night alarmge wig and gown. One of the inhabitants, who had been drawn there from curiosity, assured him it could not have been Doctor Sewall, because he never wore a wig, which restored the poor fellow to his senses. It was generally supposed to be a trick n, and Mr. Westwood at Hadley. Sylvester Judd, Esq., the well-known historian of Hadley, in a letter to the late Rev. Samuel Sewall, of Burlington, Mass. (April 6, 1846), says this genealogical account contains some mistakes which show how early a

iation to preach at Cambridge, the third Lord's day in November, and was engaged by the Society in July, 1782, to preach six weeks or two months on probation, but continued in that service over a year, when the Society at length concurred with the church in calling him as the regular pastor. His ordination occurred Nov. 26, 1783. In 1790 an arrangement was made with Mr. Green to preach once a month in Woburn. The Woburn members of this Society in that year amounted to twenty-two. See Sewall's History of Woburn, p. 484. Soon after it was agreed, owing to increase of members there, that he should preach half the time in Woburn, and the name of the church was altered to the Cambridge and Woburn Baptist Church. The Woburn branch of the church gained more rapidly than the mother church; a new meeting-house was built in Woburn in 1794, and the organization became known solely as the Woburn Baptist Church. In 1790 the society here had purchased a spot five rods square of Ephr
