" "(*) Concord was founded in the fall of 1635--a plantation on the site of an old Indian village, Musketequid. Many of its early inhabitants were for a while in Watertown. At a town meeting, August 3, 1635, the voters of Watertown agreed that "there be too many inhabitants in the Town, and the town thereby in danger to be ruinated." Watertown was then about six miles square, and had, according to Bond, one hundred landowners! Samuel Stratton bought land in Concord of Thomas Adams in 1656--two parcels, with dwelling house, barn and orchards--when he is called "a planter."" SOURCE: Book of Strattons
