Ensign Nicholas Wallis

The "History of Ipswich" says that in 1687 "Nicholas Wallis has leave for a mill." "...to improve tho water by damming in the river against his own land not exceeding three foot for the building a fulling mill or mills, provided he do it within a year and a half."

He did not make the deadline, and in March 1696-7 John Adams, Senior, his sons John, Jim, and Michael Farley Junior petitioned for permission. "After a little delay, they received the desired liberty, and built the dam, with a fulling mill on the north side and the grist mill on the south, in the year 1697."

In 1701 Nicholas and his two sons were granted liberty "to build a shed for their horses next to one to be built by Corn't Matthew Whipple and others, of forty feet in length and not exceeding ten foot wide, about twenty feet from ye Watch House, southerly towards ye old Meeting-house." (The Hammatt Papers, p. 390)
