Excerpt from A History of the Early Settlement of Newton, County of Middlesex, Massachusetts: From 1639 to 1800 The object of this humble effort is to seek and save the earliest and most important historical facts of the Town, especially those relating to its first settlement, in 1639, - the organization of its first church, in 1664, its separation from Cambridge, and organization as an independent Town, in 1679, the establishment of its first public school, about 1700, - and all that could be discovered relating to the pioneers of the settlement, with some account of the most interesting transactions of their descendants. To which is added, a genealogical register, con taining the names of all persons, as far as known, who were inhabitants of the place prior to the year 1800, with such brief facts concerning them as could be gleaned from the Town and County records, and else where. A plan on the town is also added, showing the approximate location of the homesteads of the early settlers, the dwelling houses they built, and the roads they laid open, from 1639 to 1700, and onward to 1750. This work does not profess to notice facts, which have transpired since the year 1800 in a few instances, how ever, transactions of a later date have been mentioned.
