Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 11., A recently discovered Letter written by Colonel Isaac Royall in 1779. (search)
A recently discovered Letter written by Colonel Isaac Royall in 1779. THE Society is indebted to Mr. George Y. Wellington, President of the Arlington Historical Society, for the accompanying copy of a letter by Col. Isaac Royall of Medford, written from Kensington, England, in 1779, to his old friend and tutor, Rev. Samuel Cooke, minister of the Second Parish in Cambridge, located at Monotomy (now Arlington, Mass.) The original of this letter was given by Miss Anna Bradshaw, granddaughter of Samuel Cooke, to Mrs. M. W. Hodgdon, and is now in the possession of her daughter, Miss Ellen W. Hodgdon. The original letter is beautifully written in a very fine and small hand, covering three pages of letter-sheet 9 1/2 × 15 inches; it is well preserved in a transparent silk cover and is kept in a safe in the State House, Boston. Kensington May 29: 1779 Dear Sir Our long acquaintance and the Friendship you profess'd and shew for me and my Children and Family induc'd me to wri
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 12., Wood's dam and the mill beyond the Mystic. (search)
istake this spot for the site of the Broughton mill, half a mile down-stream, as he mentioned that also. A well-known citizen informs us that at his coming to West Cambridge (now Arlington), in 1856, the Wood mill was in operation. Mr. George Y. Wellington, who in his boyhood attended Mr. John Angier's school in Medford, walking the entire distance from his home in West Cambridge (save an occasional ride with Mr. Peter C. Brooks, or on the Middlesex canal boat), says that there may have been a mill there previously, but that his first remembrance of the building was in 1840. Mr. Wellington is now over eighty years of age, and actively engaged daily in business. It appears that no serious objection had been made to the maintenance of this dam till in the late fifties; a reputable citizen of present Arlington and native in West Cambridge saying that the Fish Committee or Commission ordered its removal. And now appears a highly respectable citizen of Medford, who remembers that
