ted : its soil is of a superior quali-
ty: it has a flourishing academy, on
a solid foundation : it is a place of
considerable trade, and of exten-

Gorliam, X. H.,

Coos co., is a rough and unpro-
ductive township lying on ihe north-
erly base of the White mountains,
and hounded E. by Shelburne, N.

and is 96 miles N. from Concord.
Several streams descend from the
mountains through this town into

Goshen, X. H.,

Sullivan co., is bounded N. by
Newport and Wendell, E. by New-
bury, S. by Washington, and W.by
Lempster and Unity. It is 42 miles
W. by N. from Concord. Croydon
turnpike passes through Goshen.
From Sunapee mountain, lying in
the E. part of this town, spring ma-
ny small streams, which unite in
forming Sugar river. Rand’s pond
is in the N. E. part of the town.
The soil is particularly calculated
for the production of grass. It was
incorporated Dec. 27, 1791. The
first settlement was made about the
year 1769, by Capt. Benjamin Rand,
William Lang, and Daniel Grindle,
whose sufferings and hardships were
very great. The crops of the first
settlers were greatly injured, and
sometimes entirely destroyed by
early frosts. In such cases they
procured grain from Walpole and
other places. At a certain time of
scarcity, Capt. Rand went to that
place after grain, and being detain-
ed by a violent snow storm, his
family was obliged to live without
provision for six days, during which
time Mrs. Rand sustained one of
his children, 5 years old, by the milk
from her breast, having a short time
before buried her infant child. Pop-
ulation in 1830, 772.
