oll. Mass. Hist Soc., VII. 7. No list of inhabitants is found until after the Braintree company arrived in the summer of 1632, except this memorandum on the title-pathe records of the Court; but Winthrop says, under date of Aug. 14, 1632, The Braintree Supposed to be so called because they came from Braintree, a town in EssexBraintree, a town in Essex, about forty miles from London.

Six months later, there was a considerable accession of inhabitants, by order of the General Court. The order does not appear on the records of the Court; but Winthrop says, under date of Aug. 14, 1632, The Braintree Supposed to be so called because they came from Braintree, a town in Essex, about forty miles from London.

Cow-yard Lane and Field Lane north of Harvard Street were discontinued and enclosed with the adjoining lands immediately after Mr. Hooker's company removed. The foregoing are all the highways of which I find any trace in the present bounds of Cambridge, prior to 1636. On the south side of the river, however, a highway was early established, called the highway to Roxbury, from a point opposite to the College Wharf, in the general direction of the road from Cambridge Great Bridge, through the easterly portion of Brighton to Brookline. Frequent reference is also made, in the early records, to the highway from Watertown to Roxbury.

dered, That there shall be levied out of the several plantations the sum of thirty pounds, for the making of the creek at the New Town, —but no portion of this sum was assessed upon the New Town. Again, Feb. 3, 1631-2, It was ordered, That there should be three score pounds levied out of the several plantations within the limits of this patent, towards the making of a pallysadoe about the New Town; viz. Watertown, VIII.l. the New Town, III.l. Charlton, VII.l. Meadford, III.l. Saugus and Marble Harbor, VI.l. Salem, IV.l. x. s. Boston, VIII.l. Rocksbury, VII.l. Dorchester, VII.l. Wessaguscus, v.l. Winettsemet, XXX.s. Mass. Col. Rec., i. 98. Winthrop says that Watertown objected against the validity and justice of this assessment: and his learned editor says: To the agitation of this subject we may refer the origin of that committee of two from each town to advise with the court about raising public moneys so as what they should agree upon should bind all, under date of May of this yea

From this highway three others diverged soto Windmill-hill, now Ash Street; and one to Watertown marsh, not far westerly from the residence oinguished as the highway from Charlestown to Watertown.

own to confer with the Court about raising of a public stock. He died before March, 1635. Daniel Patrick, also styled Mr., was one of the two captains appointed by the Court, to command the militia of the Colony. Except as a military man, his character does not appear to have been very reputable. In 1637 he had liberty to remove to Ipswich, but seems rather to have gone to Watertown, where he was Selectman, in 1638. He afterwards removed to Connecticut, and was killed by a Dutchman, at Stamford, in 1643. John Poole probably remained here only a few months, as he is not named in the list of proprietors, in 1633. He was of Lynn, 1638, and afterwards of Reading, where he died April 1, 1667. William Spencer, uniformly styled Mr. on the court records, was one of the principal gentlemen.
