the first time the subject of wood is mentioned in this form, we may infer that previous to this date, as in other towns at that time, the fuel for the school had been contributed by the parents.
February 8, 1722-3. In running the bounds of the school lot, being No. 68, given to the school by Mr. Daniel Russell, being in second division of Charlestown, viz.: a wood lot of 45 1/2 acres, it was found that this lot and lot 67 fell short 101 acres, & we offered to settle the bounds with Mr. Joseph Underwood, we to abate 7 acres and he 3 1/2 acres, which he refused.
But we settled bounds & drove down stakes accordingly.
Thomas Jenner, Town Clerk.
Rev. Daniel Russell, son of Richard, in his will, 26 December, 1678, bequeathed to the town of Charlestown for the free school, if it is effected in a year's time, 95 acres wood.
May 8, 1723.
We may judge something of the school fund at this time from the following: Of the £ 60 for the schoolmaster, £ 20 was voted from the town treasury.
