9. The Settlement at The Farms: The Stone Fort and King Philip's War (part 2)
by Martha DeWolf 2/15/12
Eight years later, Benjamin Bullard and his neighbors were reprimanded by name in the town bylaws. In 1659 the town of Medfield declared that the settlers at "The Farms” were prohibited from taking any more wood without permission from the town of Medfield because they had wasted it in “maintaining” their bridge. It appears that they complied. Lesser bridges figured prominently in the settlement of the wilderness, too. In 1665 George Fairbanks' daughter, Mary, married Joseph Daniell and settled with him just a mile or so away from her father, but on the other (south) side of Bogastow Brook. [comments:1]

24. Patience is a Virtue: Conclusion
by Paul Saulnier 1/26/12
As I head back up the stairway towards the others, I find no familiar faces. I think that maybe they concluded the deal and passed behind me without noticing me. I make my way to the bottom of the stairs but they’re not there either. So I sit at the entrance and wait. Nobody shows. I allow myself a minute or two of panic. [comments:8]
