Named in the 1897 county history

The history of Essex County was published in the same year as the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

RIN A. ORDWAY,* a prominent farmer and a native of Newbury, was born June 25, 1840, in Byfield Parish. His grandfather, William Ordway, was drowned when his father, Samuel Ordway, was only two years old. WillTam's brothers were Eliphalet, Enoch, Joseph, Nathaniel, John, Joshua, Thomas, and William. John settled in Hampstead, where he became very successful and very wealthy. His descendants were numerous in Haverhill. Joshua was a most successful school-teacher. Samuel, who was a farmer, went across the isthmus to California in 1851. He contracted what was known as "isthmus fever," and lived only about two months after returning home. A man of character and enterprise, he was highly esteemed by his townsmen and by all who knew him.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Essex County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
