HAMILTON, WORCESTER, MASS. INTRODUCTION. ' A popular historian has said that the study of history ' sets before us striking examples of virtue, enterprise, courage, generosity, patriotism ; and, by a natural principle of emula- tion, incites us to copy such noble examples." We, of the present generation, know but little of the trials, fatigues, hardships, fears and anxieties, which our fathers and mothers of early New England days experienced and willingly endured, that they might establish a government and found a nation, where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance of their posterity for all time. Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild winters of the British Isles, the abrupt change of location, with unavoidable exposure to the harsher climate and rigorous win- ters of New England, caused many of the delicate ones among the first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or other unlooked-for diseases, while even the most vigorous of the first one or two generations after immigration, being subjected to the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle- ments, rarely attained the age of three-score and ten.

"£he clark brick dwelling is where the garden was, and the Methodist Church beyond, is where the house of Deacon Samuel Brooks stood~ EVERAL years ago the Trustees of the Methodist Church, in Exeter, gave permission for the placing of a tablet on the outside of the church building S to mark the site of the house of Deacon Samuel Brooks. One of the Trus­ tees suggested the preparation of a short sketch of the history of the house that could be distributed at the time of the placing of the tablet. The following is the outgrowth of his suggestion. This being the year of the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of. the birth of George Washington, he has been mentioned several times. The writer will be very grateful for the notation of any errors, and for addi­ tional family records, letters or information that would be useful in preparing a more complete account of the descendants of Samuel Brooks. He also wishes to thank the many kind friends and relatives, in Exeter a.nd elsewhere, who have assisted him in securing material for this incomplete and disconnected story. "The History of Exeter," by Charles H. Bell, has been quoted many times, and is recommended to the reader who is interested in Exeter, a town well sup­ plied with grey matter in two forn1s-granite and brains.
