Excerpt from Birthplace of Daniel Webster, Franklin, New Hampshire After the peace of 1763, a company from Kingston, N. H., was given a grant of land which they named Stevenstown. It was situated on the west banks of the Merrimack and Pemigewasset rivers. Opposite its eastern boundry this last named river united with the Winnipesaukee and formed the Merrimack. This grant bordered on these rivers for four miles and extended westward to Kearsarge mountain. Later it was called Salisbury, and the eastern part of the grant was taken in 1826 as a part of the new town of Franklin. One of the members of this party was Ebenezer Webster. His ancestors settled in Hampton, N. H., some sixteen years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Mr. Webster had already distinguished himself in the various conflicts which raged at that time, and had attained the rank of Captain. At the time of coming to the new township he was married, but had no children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
