Richard Pinkham of Old Dover, New Hampshire and His Descendants, East and West (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Richard Pinkham of Old Dover, New Hampshire and His Descendants, East and West

Rev. Dr. Quint has given this clear statement: Richard Pink ham appears to have been a man of good character, and had his share of public offices. The spot where he early dwelt is said to have been the same on which stood the Pinkham garrison, which Richard afterwards made into his habitation. The precise location of this is easily pointed out, inasmuch as it continued to be a dwelling-house until one side of it fell down seven and twenty years ago; that event rendered it necessary for the family to remove, which they did as soon as possible, into a new house standing about five rods from the old one. After passing the house of Hanson Roberts on Dover Neck the traveler will notice a lane on the west side of the' road leading towards the river. On the north side of this lane is a house now occupied by Elijah Pinkham, a man of more than eighty years, who owns land once owned by his ancestor, Richard. (after the death of this Elijah Pink ham in 1862, the house was occupied by Mr. Charles Thompson, who married Rose Pinkham; daughter of Elijah. This old home stead was after this owned by those not of the Pinkham line for a short time' it has lately been purchased by Mr. De Orville L. Pinkham.) About four rods west of this home of Elijah' Pink ham was the Pinkham garrison house, half of which was taken down about 'two years after the wind had demolished the other half. The spot on which the fortress stood in the ancient days a few months ago presented the aspect of a flourishing cabbage yard!
