Mr. W. P. Uph^oi gave a very interesting account of the original 

 laying out of Salem, pointing out on a map, which he had constructed 

 for the occasion, the places where several of the old Planters built 

 their houses. It appears probable that the early pioneers settled iu 

 different parts of the town. The Planter's Marsh was pointed out on 

 Bridge street, and also the Potter's Field in the same vicinity. My. 

 Upham also showed very satisfactorily that the house now owned and 

 occupied by G. P. Parrington, on the corner of North and Essex 

 streets, was owned and occupied by Roger Williams. It was after- 

 wards sold to Jonathan Corwin, and until a few years since has been 

 kept in that family. Such being the case, another interesting remin- 

 iscence is connected with this old historic mansion. [See page 33.] 



Eemarks were made by Messrs. James Kbiball, George D. Phip- 

 PEN, A'. C. GooDELL, Jr., and others, alluding to these investigations 

 and their value in elucidating our early history.
