Shapley Line
Based on the 1640 southern boundary of
Bachiler's farm, it was surveyed by Capt.
Nicholas Shapley in 1657, dividing the Province
of New Hampshire from the Massachusetts Bay
Colony 1689 to 1741. In 1662 three Quaker women,
being banished from the territory, were freed
south of here by Constable Walter Barefoot.
Edward Gove, imprisoned in the Town of
London for leading the rebellion against
Lt. Gov. Cranfield in 1683, lived nearby.
