John Wickliffe, 1773, settled on the homestead at South Plain. He was possessed of remarkable mechancial skill, as well as of a good education, and became one of the most useful citizens. He was a surveyor of land for many years. He established in 1811, at his homestead, the brush manufacturing business, a trade then little known in New England; and for a long time he conducted a thriving business. He served as town clerk and treasurer, and as a member of the board of selectman for ten years. He was a successful schoolmaster, also. He married in 1805 Amy Ballou of Franklin, a woman of superior abilities, who died in 1826, aged forty-four; second, in 1829, Grace Holbrook of Sherborn, who died in 1866. In his later days, he sold the ancestral place, removed to the village, and occupied the house on Main Street now owned by Miss Sewall, where he busied himself, while his health permitted, with mechanical work. He died in 1870, at the age of ninety-seven."
