Additional Details:
The original structure spanning the Walloomsac at this place is said to be the nearest point reached by Sheriff Ten Eyek and his posse of 400 men, when he undertook to dispossess James Breakenridge from his farm, which was located a short distance southeast of the bridge. The colonists of the New Hampshire Grants would not permit him to cross the bridge.
