  • Lincoln History
    LINCOLN HISTORY 1764 Governor Benning Wentworth, the royal Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, granted 24,000 acres of land to James Avery of Norwich, Connecticut, and 64 of his relatives and friends. The Lincoln Charter was signed on January 31, 1764. Lincoln was named after Henry Fiennes Pelham-Clinton, 2nd Duke of Newcastle, 9th Earl of Lincoln, a Wentworth cousin. On the same day, Governor Wentworth signed a similar charter granting the adjoining town of Landaff to Avery and others. Avery and his associates made large investments in New Hampshire lands grants. However, none of the grantees ever lived in Lincoln let alone fulfill the conditions of the Charter which required that 5 of every 50 acres be cultivated within 5 years (1769). 1772 Governor John Wentworth declared the Lincoln Charter forfeited and re-granted Lincoln, along with most of Franconia, to Sir Francis Bernard and others. The name of this new township was Morristown, in honor of one of the grantees. 1774 Nathan Kinsman of Concord, N.H., a hatter and physician, bought 400 acres of land from William Broughton of Fairlee, VT, who had acquired the rights from one of the original grantees of Morristown. The cost was 60 pounds. 1782 Nathan Kinsman and his wife Mercy (Wheeler) moved to Lincoln, then called Morristown. He was joined by Nathan and Amos Wheeler and John and Thomas Hatch. According to the Federal Census of 1790, these 5 families, 22 inhabitants total, comprised the total population of Morristown. The area in which they settled was known as Lincoln Gore under the western slopes of the mountain to which Nathan gave his name.
