Notes for Jesse Vose:
Jess Vose was born on the "old place" at the foot of Brush Hill, the birthplace of his father and grandfather, He was seven years old when his parents removed to the farm purchased on Brush Hill and at the age of eighteen was preparing for college at Atkinson Academy in New Hampshire, under the pricipalship of his cousin, Preceptor John Vose. A letter written to his "Respective Parents" from Atkinson in January, 1801 is prized by his descendants.
The sudden illness of his father, however, prevented the completion of his course there. He returned home to take charge of his father;s large estate, and occupied the old house on Brush Hill until 1829. In that year he built a substantial house a few rods from the old one, which he occupied until death.
His widow, with her two unmarried daughter, Mary and Sarah, continued to live there until the autumn of 1861, when they removed th Hyde Park, leaving her son Jesse and family the occupants. The house, still standing at the corner of Brush Hill Road adn Robbins Street was purchases by Jesse's grandson, Henry W., who held it until 1926, when it passed, with all the land boughtby his greatgrandfather Benjamin Vose in 1790, out of the family.
Jesse Vose, like his forbears, took an active part in the management of twon affairs. He was the town treasurer for ten years; suveyor of the highways six years and also held other lesser offices, and served on numerous committees appoint for the welfare of the town. He was chairman of the Parish Committee during the controversy which culminated in a schism in the church, and the establishment of the of the First Congregational Parish as a Unitarian church in 1834.
He carried on an extrensive business for the times, in making moulds used in the manufacture of handmade paper, and invented a machine for weaving the wire network. His brother Ralph was in company with him until his death, an dlater for a few years Messrs. John Shepard Crebore and his sons Charles Crane and Jeremiah were associated in the business. His account books of 1810-1830 contain the names of many of the leading paper-makers of the period.
