Misc. Notes
Pg 1908 The company was composed of twenty families, the majority of whom were weavers, and they were the first to manufacture woolen cloth in New England. Thomas Nelson appears to have been one of the wealthiest as well as one of the most able among the Rowley settlers and acquired prominence both in business and official life.
