Excerpt from Historical Sketch of First Parish: Haverhill, Mass In 1640, twelve persons from the towns of Ipswich and Newbury came up the river Merrimac and settled in the wild woods of Pentucket. This tract of land now called Haverhill, had been granted by the General Court to the Rev. Nathaniel Ward, of Ipswich, who, it would appear, was hoping to see a town founded here and to have his son John Ward settled as its minister. The land had been granted on condition that "they build there before the next General Court." This will account for the coming of the twelve persons from Ipswich and Newbury in 1640, the year the grant was made. The Rev. John Ward did not come in that year but came the next year (1641), probably in October. The founding of this city and the beginning of its religious teaching and ministrations are almost exactly synchronous.
