Amesbury, Massachusetts, the town was formed as a result of
the 1739 change in boundary lines between Massachusetts and
the new province of New Hampshire. It was originally known
as Timberlane Parish, because of the heavy growth of native
trees. In 1749, Governor Benning Wentworth renamed the town
Hampstead, after the English residence of William Pitt, a
close friend. |
