Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rochester´s Official Bi-Centennial Record: Tuesday, July 22, 1879 The Town of Rochester, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, received its name from the ancient city of Rochester, in Kent, England, whence many of the first settlers came. It is recorded in history that the oysters found on those shores were celebrated by the Romans for their excellence and our ancestors finding an abundance of delicious shellfish here, in memory of their former home very appropriately gave to this tract the name of Rochester. A few years ago the voters of Rochester, in town meeting assembled, directed Joseph S. Luce, Esq., (the present chairman of the selectmen of Marion) to copy the old proprietors´ records. It may be proper here to state that the "Sepecan" grant embraced what is now Rochester, Marion, Mattapoisett, and the greater portion of Wareham. Mr. Luce still has the records in his possession, and last Winter called the attention of the authorities of the several towns to the fact that on the 22d day of July, 1679, the first meeting of the proprietors was held at Plymouth, and steps taken towards forming a settlement at "Sepecan," the portion then best known.
