Hampton, New Hampshire

{geni:about_me} From JOSEPH DOW'S HISTORY OF HAMPTON (From it's Settlement in 1638, to the Autumn of 1892) found online at http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/history/dow/dowtoc.htm:

The people of Hampton, at an early period, appear to have given considerable attention to the raising of cattle, of which in a few years they had four hundred fifty head, and cattle at that time bore a very high price. For the means of wintering so large a stock, they were much indebted to their extensive salt marshes. In summer they had no lack of pasturage. As yet, however, they had enclosed but few, if any, pastures, and were consequently liable to lose their cattle in the swamps and forests, and to have their sheep destroyed by wolves and other wild beasts that prowled the woods.

To preserve their sheep and cattle,--and acting on the principle, that a division of labor promotes the general good,--the town authorities appointed shepherds and herdsmen, to whom was committed the care of the flocks and herds. The first herdsman mentioned in the records is Moses Coxe, who was appointed in the spring of 1640. From a contract made with him by the selectmen, we are informed as to his compensation and duties. "All the other beasts wthin the town, except such as have calves sucking them," were to be entrusted to his care, and he was to keep them from doing and receiving hurt by day till "foddering time" in the succeeding autumn. It was no part of his business too collect the cattle from their owners in the morning nor to return them in the evening. The town had caused a fence to be built around that portion of the Green near the Meeting-house, and to a considerable distance along the roads proceeding from it, and gates to be set up across these roads. To the Green, or common, the cattle were driven by their owners in the morning, and delivered into the care of the herdsman, who returned them to the same place in the evening, and was then released from all care of them for the night.

In full compensation for his services for the season, Goodman Coxe was to receive £20 to be paid in three instalments, viz.: 12d. per beast in hand; a like sum at the end of seven weeks, and the remainder when his work was done. The records give no information as to the number of cattle under his care.

There were no Coxe references in The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Mass by David W. Hoyt.

There were no Coxe or Norris references in Vital Statistics of Hampton Falls, NH Through 1899 - lots of Batchelders though!

From The History of the Town of Hampton NH from its settlement in 1638 to Autumn of 1892, p. 21 :

...since the cattle needed care on Sundays also, it was arranged by the town that Thomas Jones and Moses Coxe should take turns on Sundays "after having joined awhile at the beginning to go forth aboute half an hour before after sunrise" each Sabbath.

p. 18 - In 6/1640, grants of land were made by the town of Hampton to Moses Coxe (amongst others). These grants were small house lots of 10 acres or under.

His first wife, Alice, and their son John were lost at sea in the catastrophe of 10/20/1657.
