Notes from article:
In the autumn of 1675, twelve Rowley men were impressed into the service to meet the exegencies of King Philip's War, then raging. Their names are John Hopkinson, John Stickney, Joseph Jewett, Thomas Palmer, John Jackson, Stephen Mighill, John Leighton, Caleb Jackson, William Brown, Samuel Tiller, Joseph Bixby, and Simon Gowin. These men and others, under Capt. Brocklebank, were led in January, 1676, to Narragansett, and thence in March to Marlborough, where, in an assault upon the Indians, one of the company had his hand badly shattered by the breaking of his gun.
The town of Boxford, which was long known as :Rowley Village," was incorporated August 12, 1685, which contain around 40 families. The article tells about the town and some families that lived there.
The southwestern section of the town, long known as "Rowley Village," incorporated as the town of Boxford, Aug. 12, 1685, it then containing about forty families. The petitioners for the Act of incorporation were Abraham Riddington, Sr., Joseph Bixby, Sr., Samuel Boswell, Sr., William Foster, and John Peabody.
