Colonial Grant - New Hampshire Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

In 1769, Col. John Hill, a Masonian proprietor, "granted forever" a tract of land in and around this triangle plot to the first settled minister, Rev. Jonathan Barnes, providing locations for the church, meetinghouse, minister's homestead, school, pound, training field, and burying ground. Worthy of note is that descendants of the original grantee still occupy many of these 18th and early 19th century homes.


Located in Hillsborough Center, about 3.3 miles north of the intersection of NH 9 and NH 149.
