Ship street was known for many years as the way from Thomas Oakes' to Blanchard's farm. The westerly boundary of Mr. Oakes' farm was at Cross street. Prior to the laying out of Cross street, the way from Meadford to Blanchard's led across the Salem street common to the landing, known as Noman's-friend landing, which is on the river at the southerly end of Cross street. In the year 1710 there was a parcel of land sold that included the site of the common, and the seller reserved the liberty of a highway through said land, from the Country road near to a place called Gravelly Bridge, to Widow Mercy Wade's.

Mr. Hooper, has since discovered some additional matter relative to one of them and sends us the following item, quoted from Waters' Newhall Family of Lynn, which shows its antiquity, and also something of conditions when Medford was wet:— Samuel Wade of Medford, married Lydia, daughter of Lieutenant Thomas Newhall of Malden. He was an innholder in whose tavern, at the sign of the Fountain in Mistick, on Monday the 27th December 1714, arose a brawl between Captain Edward Sprague and Thomasult. The innholder was the sixth of the eight children of Major Nathaniel Wade, and the Wades were the solid men of Medford of that day, as witness the town rate, or tax list, in the ancient record book. After sixteen years in the business, Samuel Wade was the third in the highest tax payers. Captain Sprague's name does not appear among the sixty-seven rated that year, so we conclude he was a guest from elsewhere, and the other brawler was a brother-in-law of the innholder. We may wonder a
