Jeremiah Webster

Jeremiah (1), eldest child of John and Abiah (Shaw) Webster, was born December 21, 1704, in Hampton. He was among the few of the original grantees of Stevenstown (1749), now Salisbury, New Hampshire, who settled with their families. Most of the grantees did not remove to the town. At the first meeting of the proprietors it was voted that "Jeremy Webster shall be the surveyor to assist and join with the s'd com'te in laying out the land, as above s'd." In 1760, at a meeting of the proprietors, Jeremy Webster was moderator.
