HISTORICAL SKETCH OF WRENTHAM. , BY SAMUEL WARNER.* At a General Court holden at Newe Towne, Sept. 2, 1635. it was ordered " that there shall be a plantation settled about two miles above the Falls of Charles River on the northeast side thereof, to have ground lying to it on both sides of the river, both upland and meadow to be laid out hereafter as the Court shall appoint." On the 8th of September, 1636, the General Court ordered that the planta- tion to be settled above the Falls of Charles River shall have three years immunity from public charges, as Concord had, to be accounted from the first of May next, and the name of said plantation to be Deddham ; to enjoy all that land on the southerly and easterly side of Charles River not formerly granted to any town or particular persons, and also to have five miles square on the other side of the river. This was the original grant, as appears in the first volume of the Records of Massachussetts, of that tract of land which includes the present townships of Dedham, Medfield, Wrentham, Needham, Belling- ham, a part of Sherborne, a part of Natick, Franklin, Medway (which was attached to Medfield until 1781), Walpole, a part of Foxborough, Norfolk and Norwood. In about the year 1647 the Records of Dedham say that John Dwight and Francis Chickering gave notice of hopes of a mine near certain ponds, thirteen miles from town. It is supposed that the ponds here meant were at Wollomonuppoag, the Indian name of the plantation afterwards made a town by the name of Wrentham. It is probable that at the date of this grant of the General Court the inhabitants of Dedham had little knowledge of this part of their township. But it must have been somewhat explored * Note.—This account is taken from the history of Norfolk County published by J. W. Lewis & Co., Philadelphia, 1884, with the consent of the writer. : lO HlsroRV OF WRENTHAM. before the year 1649, as we learn that in that year on account of the scarcity of grass in Dedham the inhabitants went to Wollomonuppoag to cut grass from the meadows there. But the earliest movement regarding the occupation of Wollomonuppoag of which any record is found was made in the year 1660. It is as follows " Dedham 22, 4. 1660, at a meeting of the Selectmen there Lieut. Fisher, Serg't. Fuller, Richard Wheeler, Ensign Fisher are deputed to view the lands, both upland and meadow, near about the ponds by George Indians wigwam, and make report of what they find to the Selectmen in the first opportunity they can take." This was in obedience to the desire of the inhabitants expressed " formerly in a lecture day." The Selectmen reported on the 31st of loth month (DecV.), 1660, that they had deputed men to search and view the place, whose returns en- couraged them " to depute two men to endeavor to compound with such Indians as have a true right there," and they approved of the establishing it that it a plantation there in this careful language, viz. : "to us seems might be helpful to conduce to public and particular good that the place might be planted with meet inhabitants in due time." They also sug- gested that the present care thereof be left to a committee to explore the place further, and to consider what measures are proper in the premises, and " propose them to the town in some public meeting to be considered and resolved as the case may require." At a town meeting in the following month a committee was chosen " in respect of Wollomonuppoag." On the 27, I, 1661 (March), at a general town meeting, the question being put whether there should be a plantation erected or set up at the place called Wollomonuppoag, it was answered by a vote in the aflSrma- tive. The question being further put, whether the town would lay down six hundred acres of land at the place before named for the encouragement of the plantation, it was answered by a vote in the afiirmative. This vote, however, was not unanimous. Thirteen voters dissented, and their names were entered upon the record. A committee was appointed also at this meeting " to settle and deter- mine such things as shall be mentioned needful for the plantation before named. First, they shall determine when men present themselves for en- tertainment there who are meet to be accepted. Second, they shall propor- tion to each man his part in the six hundred acres. Third, they shall order the settling of the plantation in reference to situation, highways, convenient place for a meeting-house, a lot or lots for church officers, with such other things necessary as may hereafter be proposed." In case the committee should reject ai)p]icants the right of appeal to the town was reserved to them. It will be noticed that in this legislation in the Dedham town meeting it was especially provided that the Indian title to the lands at the place intended for the new plantation should be extinguished by purchase. As early as 1629 the Governor of the New England Company advised the Governor and Council for London's Plantation in the Massachusetts Bay that " if any of the savages pretend rights of inheritance to all or any part HISTORY OK WRF.NTHAM. of the lands granted in our patent, we pray you endeavor to purchase their title that we may avoid the least scruple of intrusion." And in a second communication similar advice was repeated. In the year 1652 the General Court solemnly resolved that what lands any of the Indians within this jurisdiction have by possession or improvement by subduing of the same they have just right thereunto according to that in Genesis i and 28, and chapt.

    A POTTER-RICHARDSON MEMORIAL the ancestral lines of William ,v. Potter of Michigan a11d his wife, Margaret (Richardson) Potter Compiled by Doreen Potter Hanna and Louise Potter Justice Willian1 i'. Potter Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us •••• There be of them that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported. And some there be which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been born; and their children after them. But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten. With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant. Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes. Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out. Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth forevermore. -------· Ecclesiasticus xliv. The genealogical material presented here was gathered by Louise Potter and Doreen (Potter) Hanna, daughters of \rilliam W. and Margaret ( Richardson) Potter. i\-tost of it may be found in published records, and genealogies; some is found only in local records of town clerks, and in cemetery records. Family tradition and circumstantial evidence have been considered when actual proof has been unavailable. This study revealed a common ancestry in several family lines. This is not surprising considering that most of these families settled, first, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and spread from there into Connecticut and Rhode Island. In ever widening circles the migrations carried them into New York, New Jersey, and Vermont, and after the Revolutionary War and the opening of the Erie Canal, into Ohio and Michigan, where they were reunited.

Compiled by Katharine Whitin Swift, an invalid during the last 20 years of her life, they inject genealogy with the vitality of intense personal interest. Supported by a quality of patience which nothing fosters so well as illness, she exhausted every source available to her, then employed reliable researchers to compile the information which was beyond her reach.

(1989) and later by Barbour et al. (1999). Standard Operating Procedures are described in MassDEP Method CN 075.1 Fish Population SOP. Surveys also included a habitat assessment component modified from that described in the aforementioned document (Barbour et al. 1999). Fish populations in the Charles River watershed were sampled by electrofishing during the late summer of 2002 using a Smith Root Model 12 battery powered backpack electrofisher. A reach of between 80m and 100m was sampled by passing a pole- mounted anode ring, side to side through the stream channel and in and around likely fish holding cover. All fish shocked were netted and held in buckets. Sampling proceeded from an obstruction or constriction upstream to an endpoint at another obstruction or constriction, such as a waterfall or shallow riffle. Following completion of a sampling run, all fish were identified to species, measured, and released. Results of the fish population surveys can be found in Table 1. It should be noted that young-of-the-year (yoy) fish from most species, with the exception of salmonids, are not targeted for collection. Young-of-the-year fishes that are collected, either on purpose or inadvertently, are noted in Table 1.
