Hillsborough
County, New Hampshire |
For many years prior to 1740, the boundary lines of the province of New Hampshire were in dispute.
Massachusetts claimed that the division boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was defined by a line drawn from a point on the Atlantic coast 3 miles north of the mouth of the Merrimack River, and running on the northerly and easterly side of the river, at a distance of 3 miles from it, to a point 3 miles beyond the parallel of the junction of the Winnipiseogee and the Pemigewasset; thence due west to the Connecticut. This included all the territory included in the present-day limits of Hillsborough County, with the exceptions of the town of Pelham and a portion of the town of Hudson which was more than 3 miles from the Merrimack River. It also included the whole of Cheshire County and the larger part of the present-day Merrimack and Sullivan Counties.
New Hampshire claimed for her southern boundary a line due west from the same point on the ocean. By this claim the towns of Pelham, Hudson, Litchfield, Nashua, Merrimack, Hollis, Amherst and other towns lying within about 14 miles of latitude were conceded to be within Massachusetts.
The ancient town of Dunstable , which contained more than two hundred square miles, and included all of the towns named above and portions of other towns within the present limits of New Hampshire, made a part of the county of Middlesex, in Massachusets, and had not, before 1740, been regarded by any party as in part the territory of the province of New Hampshire.
The boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was finally determined, in 1741, by the King himself who ended the controversy in favor of New Hampshire, and fixed the present boundary, granting a much larger territory to New Hampshire than had been claimed earlier. Upon the settlement of the question, the towns which had had a corporate existence under Massachusetts were rechartered by the province of New Hampshire, and new towns were formed from those portions of existing towns cut off from Massachusetts.
In 1771, New Hampshire was divided into five counties. Hillsborough County was formed at that time as one of the original counties.
By 1823, there were 42 townships within Hillsborough County (see 1823 map and profile ). Several of the northern townships were set off to the newly formed Merrimack County the same year. The townships which became part of Merrimack County were: Andover, Boscawen, Bradford, Dunbarton, Fishersfield, Henniker, Hooksett, Hopkinton, New London, Salisbury, Sutton, and Warner.
The county seat: Nashua & Manchester.

Thank you for your kind offer of assistance Jackie!!!!
Jackie Marshall, genealogy chair for the Historical Society of Amherst, has graciously volunteered to do look-ups in some of the databases she has been working on. The databases are listed below. Please respectfully LIMIT your request to one or two names at a time.
1. Amherst, NH Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1884-1903:
Description of database: Vital record information from the Amherst Town
Reports from 1884 to the present. So far, Jackie has already indexed the
births, marriages, & deaths from 1884 to 1903. If you are looking for
births, marriages or deaths after 1903, please specify
a close, approximate date when requesting a look-up. Contact: Jackie Marshall
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the
years as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source,
subject to error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will
be further information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.
2. Names of out-of-town residents buried in Amherst, 1884-1952:
Description of database: Jackie has indexed the existing names of people
who died out of town & were brought to Amherst for burial (when the Town
Reports have this listing, which isn't every year) from 1884 to 1952. The
information for the out-of-town deaths is highly variable, sometimes just a
name, sometimes the place where they died, and sometimes more.
Contact: Jackie Marshall
Please note: The information contained in these records varies through the
years as to what is included in the town report. It is a secondary source,
subject to error, but a good indication for family researchers that there will
be further information at the Town Hall or state vital records office.
3. Cemetery Inscriptions for Cricket Corner Cemetery, Chestnut Hill
Cemetery, Meadow View Cemetery and Amherst Town Hall Burying Ground.
Description of database: An on-going cemetery survey project is underway,
and plans are being made to post the completed index online. Jackie has
offered to look-up information in those completed by volunteers thus far.
She writes: "So far we've recorded 2,466 burials from the following
Amherst cemeteries: Cricket Corner, Chestnut Hill, and Meadow
View. The Boy Scouts Troop 22 finished the Chestnut Hill cemetery, my
daughter & I finished the Cricket Corner Cemetery, and Meadow View has a
ways to go but is certainly well over 3/4 complete. I haven't entered the Amherst
Town Hall Burying Ground in the data base yet, but have an index on hand.
This cemetery has been transcribed in the past and I'd like to double check the
stones. St. Patrick's cemetery still needs to be done."
Contact: Jackie Marshall
4. Jackie Marshall's Family Tree Maker File of Amherst Families
Jackie's description of database: "First I entered all the families
that Daniel F. Secomb recorded in the genealogy
portion of his book, History of the Town of Amherst, Hillsborough County,
New Hampshire [1883]. I've been adding to the
families using the cemetery information, the town reports, and the census. I've
also used some other local town histories. You can't imagine how many
differences there are between all these sources! Family Tree Maker lets me put
in the multiple birth dates (for example) with each source. It would be up to
the family researcher to locate the primary record and make the judgment about
which is correct. Usually the differences are slight: May or Mar, Jan or Jun,
the date off by a few days, or the year having one year difference. Sometimes
it's way out of
the ballpark too. Interesting because it shows us how vulnerable secondary
sources can actually be. Add that to the fact that I'm re-copying all this
& am also susceptible to making typos (9 instead of 0), there is always
room for error, but I think it can be a useful clue tool. Contact: Jackie Marshall
