school.htm

Mrs. Abbie (Perkins) James has loaned me the record book of this school from
March 1838 to March 1885, the latter date being the last year of school
districts in the state, for the legislature of 1885 made the town one
district to start January 1886.

Names of citizens which appear as active from 1838 to 1860

Edmund James,

John James,

Joshua James,

John A. James.

The next reach was toward Portsmouth and Dover. 1703 Benjamin James was in
his new home up the Drakeside Road which he had been building in 1702 after
coming from Newbury and marrying Susanna Smith, a daughter of John Smith,
Hampton's first tailor.

The last owner there was Joshua James, whose name appears as active in
Drakeside school affairs, and whose heirs sold the place to Irving N.
Campbell of Manchester in 1931.

The first aid voted the district by the town was 1757, at which time school
was probably kept in either or both of the two old houses, the James-Campbell
house or the house now owned by Ida Williams.

Mr. and Mrs. Drysdale first took me to the school-house site, the other side
of the new toll-road from the Joshua James home.

The original Towle house stood in the yard of the present splendid Drysdale
estate, the new house having been built by Samuel A. Towle, Sr., seventy
years ago or so. In the old house had lived Simon and his ancestors and also
a Daniel. Then the present home of Mrs. Abbie Perkins James and her sons.
>From this house and the older Joshua James house, we find citizens of the
family by names of Ebenezar, Edmund, John and John A.

This leaves us only the Williams family. The new Williams home burned, but
the old house, which is near to the Joshua James house in age, still stands.
I hope some day to take a snap shot of it and gather up information from the
aged Ida Williams who now lives in Hampton village.
