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

Hudson, New Hampshire Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War

Source:  History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, compiled under the supervision of D. Hamilton Hurd, "History of Hudson," by Kimball Webster, Philadelphia : J. W. Lewis & Co., 1885.  (pp. 474-475).

     "It is a matter of regret that a complete list of the names of all the soldiers who served their country, from this town [Hudson], in the War of the Revolution, cannot be given.  
     "No town documents to show who they were can be found, and a few of their names only are incidentally mentioned in the town records.
     "Hon. Isaac W. Hammond, Assistant Secretary of State, has kindly furnished some valuable information, some has been gathered from the Adjutant-General's Reports, and some names have been obtained from other sources.
     "Within the limited time given to compete this history it has been impossible for me to make an exhaustive research for all the names of those patriotic soldiers possible to be obtained.
     "The following names are given as a partial list of the men from Nottingham West who were soldiers in the War of the Revolution.
"NOTTINGHAM WEST SOLDIERS IN THE REVOLUTION.
--The following was copied from the original paper in the possession of the New Hampshire Historical Society, by Hon. D. F. Secomb:
     "A muster-roll of Capt. Samuel Greeley's Company, who turned out as volunteers from Nottingham west, in New Hampshire, at the time of Lexington battle, on the 19th day of April, 1775."
     "Samuel Greeley, captain; John Kelley, lieutenant; John Pollard, ensign; James Ford, clerk; William Merrill, sergeant; William Burns, sergeant; Ebenezer Pollard, sergeant; Justus Dakin, corporal; Simeon Barrett, corporal; Jonathan Bradley, corporal; John Pollard, corporal; Benjamin Marshall, fifer; Samuel Currier, fifer; Samuel Marsh, Reuben Spalding, Peter Cross, Ebenezer Cummings, Ebenezer Perry, Elijah Hills, Ezekiel Hills, Jeremiah Hills, Samuel Hills, Richard Marshall, Daniel Hardy, Seth Hadley, Abijah Reed, Richard Cutter, Nehemiah Winn, Benjamin Whittemore, Abiather Winn, Stephen Chase, Jr., Joshua Chase, John Haseltine, David Glover, Oliver Hills, Page Smith, Samuel Campbell, Samuel Smith, Moses Barrett, Richard Hardy, Jonathan Blodgett, Joseph Greeley, Samuel Durant, Samuel Moore, Andrew Seavey, Stephen Chase, James Pemberton, John Osgood, Nat.

TEMPLE
"History of Temple", from D. Hamilton Hurd's, 1885, History of Hillsborough County, New Hampshire¹, pp. 672-677, transcribed here by Ann Mensch.
CHAPTER I.
TEMPLE.
Geographical--Original Grants--Masonian Proprietors--Incorporation of Town--First Town-Meeting--Petition for Incorporation--Secon Petition for Incorporation--Documentary History--Various Petitions--Lottery--Inhabitants in 1784--Columbian Library.
   The town of Temple lies on the southwestern part of the county and is bounded as follows:
   North, by Peterborough , Greenfield and Lyndeborough ; east, by Lyndeborough and Wilton ; south, by Mason and New Ipswich ; west, by Sharon and Peterborough .
   This township embraced several tracts of land granted to individuals by the government of Massachusetts prior to 1740.  The territory was granted by the Masonian proprietors in November, 1750, with the usual reservations.  For some years it was called Peterborough Slip, and included the present town of Sharon .
   The town was incorporated August 26, 1768, and included one tier of lots on the west side of Wilton and the easterly portion of what was formerly known as Peterborough Slip or Sliptown,  and was named for Hon. John Temple.  Ephraim Heald was authorized to call the first town-meeting, which duty he performed, and the meeting was held at the house of Zedekiah Drury, October 10, 1768.
   A dispute concerning a strip of land between this town and New Ipswich resulted in favor of Temple.
   By an act passed January 12, 1781, a tract of land containing about four hundred acres, lying north of this town, called Borland's farm, was annexed to Temple.
   January 29, 1789, some territory was severed from the southest [sic] corner of Peterborough, and annexed to this town.
   By an act approved June 11, 1796, a considerable tract of land was severed from Lyndeborough and annexed to Temple.
   Petition for Incorporation.--The following is a copy of the petition for the incorporation of the town:

"We, the Inhabitants of a place Called Peterborough-Slip, in S^d province Humbly petetion your Excellency and Honour That where as The Monadnuck Mountains Runs a Cross our Township, which in Impractable For Roads, So That we Cannot Settle The public Worship of God on one side of the Mountains so as to aComodate the other side of the Mountains, where fore we Humbley pray That we May Be InVested with Town prevelidges To The following Bounds: To wit,--Be Gining att peterborough, Southeast Corner, Running west on s^d peterborough Line Til it Comes to a Beech Tree marked, Being the Northwest Corner of the Lott, N^o Eleven, in the Eighth Range of Lots in S^d peterboroughslip, Then Running South Between the Eleventh & Twelveth Lots, on a Line marked on the pinnacle of The Mountains til it Comes to the North west Corner of the Lot Eleven, in the Sixth Range, Still Running on the pinnacle of the Mountain, Through the Lots Twelve in the Sixth and fifth Ranges, on a Line marked to a Spruce Tree, Being the North west Corner of the Lot Twelve in the Fourth Range, Still Runing on the pinnacle of the Mountain, Through the Lots thirteen in the fourth Range and fourteen & fifteen in the Third Range, on a line marked on the pinnacle of the Mountains to a white maple att the foot of the Mountain Called and Known By The Name of Moffetts Tree, Then Runing west about fifteen Rods to the west Line of the Lot Fifteen in the second Range, Then Running South on S^d Line to New Ipswitch North Line, Then Running a bout East on New Ipswich North Line To the Southeast Corner of S^d petersboroughSlip, Still Runing East on wilton South Line the Length of Two Lots, Then Runing North Between the Eighth & Nineth Ranges of Lots in S^d wilton, inCludeing Two Teer of Lots to Linds Borough South Line, Then Runing West on wilton North Line and peterborough Slip North Line To peterborough East Line, Then Runing South on peterborough East Line to the South East Corner first mentioned--all So we Humbley pray your Excellency & Honours That the Loss of Wilton may be maid up To Them By your annexing a Tract of Land to Them on the East Side of wilton Called and known By The Name of The Mild Slip, and we in Duty Bound Shall Ever pray : & : C peterboroughslip : 11 : April, 1768.

   This petition, however, was not granted, and on the 10th of the following June a second petition was presented, as follows:
