Excerpt from The Bay Path and Along the Way

It was in 1880 or thereabouts, while coming home in a train, that I happened to be seated with a friend of congenial historic instincts, and the conversation drifted to the subject of the first comers in the settlement of our own.

An interesting thought came to my mind and I said, "Where, do you suppose, is the location of the way, road or path used by those who came first from Medfield, and other eastern towns, into this then unoccupied territory?"

The answer was not forthcoming at that time, but the conversation initiated the buzzing of a bee which has led to the finding of the "Bay Path", a hobby, and also a recreation during all these years of labor.

Delving among the Archives of the town for genealogical data, I came upon the old book of "Proprietors' Records."
