• Notes

  Rebecca's husband was a miller by trade. "Stephen Cutter, miller, sold a certain grist mill in Cambridge with all and singular the dam, flooms, mill pond, etc., together with all other property to Ichabod Fessenden in 1795, specifying a house, barn and gristmill, dams, flooms, etc. (Middlesex Registry, cxxv 27, 28). This property was sold by Ichabod Fessenden to John Perry and Stephen Locke, millers, in 1809." Ichabod is also listed as having paid $139 for pew No. 73 in the meeting house, Second Precinct, Cambridge, and as having been one of the assessors in 1803 and 1804. He was a member of the Northeast parish of Cambridge Singing Society, serving as treasurer in 1805 and 1806. It became the West Cambridge Musical Society in October 1807 and Ichabod Fessenden (with clarinet) was one of the subscribers to the constitution. In 1816 he built a mill at the J.C. Hobbs privilege as it was still called in 1907, though Deacon Hobbs had been dead several years. Another enterprise strikingly different was the making of machine knives which made Ichabod famous was carried on at the brick factory he erected on the Hobbs property. Ref: "Lexington, Mass.
