Excerpt from John Hurd

The history of that section of New Hampshire now embraced within the limits of Grafton county, during the Revolutionary and pre-Revolutionary period, possesses an interest vastly greater than ordinarily attaches itself to local history. The settlers of this section were of that honest, fearless, intelligent stock which has, by its independence of thought and action, won for New England its grand place in history. When difficulties arose between the colonies and Great Britain, no more patriotic people were anywhere found than the settlers of the Cohos country - none who made greater sacrifices for the common cause of a common country; and yet they occupied the unique position of being not only rebels against the authority of King George, but rebels also against the authority of the state of New Hampshire, whose only reason for statehood was its revolt against British domination.
