The Mountain Road was laid in 1784 by the town over a way already established to the land of Samuel Moses, then on the range way to Allenstown. Starting at the entrance to the Mountain Road on Center Hill, the area formerly known as New Portsmouth, down to the Red Schoolhouse and the border to Allenstown, the book takes a look at the various families and their homes. Already settled by the Revolution were Ebenezer Brackett, Ebenezer Wallace, Aaron Burbank, Nathaniel Payne, and Samuel Moses. By the first census, they had been joined by Joel Ames, Jonathan Bartlett, Joseph Dennett, David Dickey, and Jethro Libbey. 85 photos
