• Notes

  Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, p. 366-367: The spot now occupied by the Payne School house is remembered by our old citizens as a knoll or small hill, on which a small house stood, near the front fence of the school yard. This was also part of the Common land and was granted to Aaron Day. John and Lucy Lefavour of Marblehead, heirs of Day presumably, sold William Lakeman, Jr., "a certain piece of land granted to Aaron Day, cabinet-maker, by the commoners, with a small dwelling, being at the southwest corner of the Town's land of Little Hill, so called, thence running southwest to Scott's Lane, to the road leading to Linebrook Parish, thence about 7 rods northwest on the road leading to Linebrook, then northeast on the back lane to the Town land first mentioned," Jan. 1796 (160: 159). It was Gander Hill, in later years, and the reason of this name may be found in the title "Goose Pasture," of a piece of pastureland on the other side of Boxford road, in the inventory of John Wood 's estate. The committee of the proprietors of the "Turkey Hill Eight and ye Eight next Rowley," sold Wood for £11, a three quarter acre lot, which may be included in the field used as a ballground, now owned by Mr. Thomas H. Lord, "the Highway to be left full 2 rods and a half wide from y"" proprietor's fence as it now stands," May 21, 1736 (75: 208). The school house stood near the present Hose House sixty years ago, and was moved to the present spot and enlarged after the Hill had been levelled.
