Located here were the Alger Garrison (built 1651 by brothers Andrew and Arthur Alger, attacked and abandoned in 1675, both men killed), and Burnham's Garrison (built before 1675) at Blue Point. Richard Foxwell's Garrison (1650 ?) was located on Cascade (Foxwell) Brook, part of the Blue Point settlement.
On this day in 1765, Parliament passes the Quartering Act, outlining the locations and conditions in which British soldiers are to find room and board in the American colonies. The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonies to house British soldiers in barracks provided by the colonies. If the barracks were too small to house all the soldiers, then localities were to accommodate the soldiers in local inns, livery stables, ale houses, victualling houses, and the houses of sellers of wine.
