ar Cross Street Choice Chocolate at 1s per Pound, 10 s 6d per Dozen, and his best old Stamp 12 s cheaper by the Dozen. As is well known, Rev. Edward Brooks died a sacrifice to his patriotism. While serving as chaplain on the American frigate Hancock, of thirty-two guns, he was taken prisoner into Halifax with the ship and there contracted smallpox. He was released after his recovery, but his constitution was so weakened that he lived only until 1781. It is a coincidence that Isaac Royall, the leading Tory of Medford, should also have turned to Halifax, crossed the Atlantic and there perished from smallpox. The wills of Edward and of his father Samuel give interesting information about the estate in those years. Next the mansion on the eastern side of Grove street was a small orchard with a narrow farm lot behind it. North of this was the hither pasture and then the sheep pasture leading in toward the middle pasture and Slow pond. Behind this in turn was Rock pasture.
