Twenty-sixth Week, Monday's "Medfield Historical Minute"
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis
A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis. A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"By 1657 Medfield had 41 families living in town. In 1660 there were 43 families with a total population of 234. In 1667 glowing accounts of the fertile lands of the Connecticut River Valley reached many of the Medfield settlers and the first exodus from the town took place with Robert Hinsdale and his sons, John Plimpton, Samuel and Eleazar Frairy moving west, founding the town of Deerfield."
