Excerpt: "THE township of Haverhill, even as late as the close of the seventeenth century, was a frontier settlement, occupying an advanced position in the great wilderness, which, unbroken by the clearing of a white man, extended from the Merrimac River to the French villages on St. Francois. A tract of twelve miles on the river and three or four northwardly was occupied by scattered settlers, while in the center of the town a compact village had grown up."
