Plaistow, NH had been set off as a separate parish early that year. His name was published as a member of the Antipedo Baptists (1774). Before going to Sutton,NH, Jonathan Nelson had helped to make the first highways in Perrytown. It has been said that he helped to hew the logs for the small structure which the early settlers built somewhere in the present Mill Village, which for a few years served for a meeting house. Before going to Perrytown to live, Jonathan Nelson had been deacon of a church in Rowley but there has been no record found to show who were the officers of the early church in Perrytown. He settled about one fourth of a mile above Mill Village, on the stream. Moses Quimby's lots were 33 and 34, which included most of what is now Mill Village. Jonathan Nelson's was the mill lot, and made the remainder of the village. Dea. Jonathan was considered a worthy, industrious man. He was kind and pleasant in manner, tall, slender, and remarkably erect in person, even in old age. He was in Sutton,NH with one son in 1769, clearing roads. He moved there in 1776. He is listed for taxes of s.2,p.9 there in 1788. | ||||||||||
