It was built in 1770, and was called the Mousam school-house. After the new meeting-house was built, the population increasing in its neighborhood, it was moved up to the country road and placed a few rods easterly from the church. Here it remained several years, when it was moved just below the grave-yard, near Daniel L. Hatch's house, where it was occupied by Mrs. Tabitha, widow of Samuel Hancock and of James Hubbard. After her death it w r as sold to Mrs. Mary Nichols and moved to a spot jus...t below Mr. Hatch's house, on the opposite side of the road ; afterward it was sold to William Taylor and moved to Brown street, where it is now occupied by Mr. Frank Fairfield. In the year 1760 the parish voted to have a grammar school- master for six months. Previously no instruction in this branch had been given in the schools. A foreigner of the name of Parott was employed. This was an advance which, we suppose, was not of much avail at this period. But few of the scholars sought instruc- tion of this kind.
