Excerpt from Birthplace of Daniel Webster, Franklin, New HampshireOne of the members of this party was Ebenezer W'ebster. His ancestors settled in Hampton, N. H., some sixteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Ply mouth. Mr. Webster had already dis tinguished himself in the various con¿icts which raged at that time, and had at tained the rank of Captain. At the time of coming to the new township he was married, but had no children. It fell to the lot of this young couple to draw aplot of land on the northern boundary of the township, and when Mr. \vebster had built his log cabin, there was no white inhabitant to the north until Canada was reached. It was probably in 1764 that Mr. Webster built this cabin beside a brook at the foot of a broad meadow. The land was not very fertile. And to assist in obtaining a living a saw mill was built and power obtained by a dam which covered with water a part of the broad meadow.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
