      The author(s), in writing about Milton Hill, wrote this:

      "Notable Events.

      This is a noted and memorable spot. In the first house built here, Catherine Grenaway, wife of William Daniels, was accustomed to gather the Indians living on the hill and in various parts of the town, for their enlightenment and instruction. This was continued for three years, 1650-3, until its beneficial influence and effect attracted official notice, as appears by the following record:
      On September 24th, 1653, at the meeting of the ommissioners of the United Colonies holden at Boston, recorded. Having learned that the wife of William Daniels hath for three years past bestowed much of her time in teaching several Indians to read, think fit to allow her 12 pounds, for the time past; and to encourage her to continue the same course, that more of the Indians may be taught by her, think fit to allow her 3 pounds more, before hand, towards another year."
