This book contains the history of Framingham, Massachusetts. Page 73..

The records of Templeton, in 1735, present among the first proprietors of the township, the names of John and Henry Eames, John Provender and Isaac Learned; and others soon followed from the families of Lamb, Shattuck, &c. Nichewaug, (now Petersham), contained, in 1750, a number of settlers from Framingham, as did, a little later, Poquaig, (Athol), in which last place the Havens, Goddards and Drurys were represented by men of influence and respectability. At a later period, the towns of Westmoreland, Marlborough, and Fitzwilliam, in New Hampshire, received (particularly the last named town) a considerable number of families from this place; and soon after the close of the war of the Revolution, several removed to Whitestown,(*) in the vicinity of Utica, New York.

(*) We recall as many as eight individuals,
viz: Robert Eames, Nathaniel
Hemenway, Joseph and Uriah
Jennings, Luther Clayes, Richard
Sanger, Joseph and Needham Maynard,
who emigrated to that place.
The Hon. Needham Maynard became
distinguished, and held a seat upon
the Judicial Bench. He died at the
advanced age of eighty-nine, a few
years since.
