    Notes:

    We are now able to trace the settlement of the west part of Beverly back beyond 1810, the period that I mentioned in my last letter, to the year 1800, when a man by the name of Linas Peck settled one and a half miles south of Sheffield, on the farm now owned by David Tansley, better known by the older residents as the Munson farm. This man, Peck, chopped about ten acres, and the place was known for many years as the " Peck" clearing. He left the place after other settlers began to come in, no person knew where he went. Philip Main, father of George Main, of Galt, was the first man that owned a span of horses in this section, he was also the first who owned a waggon, and his services were in great demand at funerals for miles around. Philip Main always carried the corpse.
