HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MEDFORD, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT, IN 1630, TO THE PRESENT TIME, 1855. (ed. Charles Brooks), Chapter 1: (search)
s. General Court, March 3, 1636.--Ordered, That Charlestown bounds shall run eight miles into the country, from their meeting-house, if no other bounds intercept, reserving the propriety of farms granted to John Winthrop, Esq., Mr. Nowell, Mr. Cradock, and Mr. Wilson, to the owners thereof, as also free ingress and egress for the servants and cattle of the said gentlemen, and common for their cattle on the back side of Mr. Cradock's farm. General Court, Oct. 7, 1640.--Mr. Tynge, Mr. Samuel Sheephard, and Goodman Edward Converse, are to set out the bounds between Charlestown and Mr. Cradock's farm on the north side of Mistick River (Stoneham and Malden). Mystick Side was the first name of Malden; Mystick fields the name of the land on the south side of Mystic River from Winter Hill to Medford Pond.

ounds more definite by providing that the land formerly granted to Mr. Cradock, Merchant, shall extend a mile into the Country from the River side in all places. The northerly boundary lines above described were not the northerly bounds of Mr. Cradock's farm as finally agreed upon (see map); it was impractical to make a boundary line to correspond with the bounds as defined by the General Court. As a consequence, under date of October 7, 1640, the General Court voted that Mr. Tynge, Mr. Samuel Sheephard and Goodman Edward Converse are to set out the bounds between Charlestown and Mr. Cradock's farm on the north side of Mistick River. It was at this time that the line shown upon the map was definitely settled. About one hundred years later some question arose between Medford and Charlestown as to a portion of the boundary line near Mystic pond, and it was settled by making a new line which is also shown upon the map. In 1687, a committee of Medford and Charlestown settled the bounda

is. Medford's bounds would have run to Malden river had not these four hundred acres intervened. The land granted to Mr. Wilson did not include the marsh at the junction of Mystic and Malden rivers. The town of Charlestown owned the marshes and called the place Wilson's point. The line ran north of Symmes' corner, and struck Symmes' river. It was not until the year 1754 that the line ran as above stated. [See Vol. 2, page 53, of the Historical Register.] Mr. Tynge, Mr. Samuel Sheephard and Goodman Edward Converse, are to set out the bounds between Charlestown and Mr. Cradocks farm on the north side of Mistick river (Stoneham and Maiden).
