1849-11-22 PerambulationBeverly and Danvers
Be it remembered, we the Selectmen of the towns of Danvers and Beverly, have this day met,
and perambulated the division line between said towns, as follows, viz.: beginning at a stone marked
W. B. D. standing in the wall between lands of Paul Porter and Samuel Ober, thence West, northerly
or westerly to a stone marked B. D. standing in Frost Fish Brook, so-called; thence Southerly as the
Brook runs, on several courses to the middle abutment on the lower side of Frost Fish Brook Bridge,
thence to the middle of the river which we conceive to be the middle of the channel, on several
courses to Liberty Bridge, so-called, at Fowler’s Mills to a hole drilled in a cap stone, twenty feet
northerly of the northwesterly abutment or side of the southwesterly sluiceway; and thence, as the
middle of the channel runs, on several courses Southerly, until it comes to the middle of the channel
at the great Cove.
Given under our hands this twenty second day of November A. D. 1849.
