23 people formed a partnership to start up the iron works. The iron works
began somewhere between 1652 and 1656. This section of Taunton, the east
end, where the iron works were located, became the Town of Raynham.
Raynham was incorporated as a town on April 2, 1731. The Leonard, Jones, Washburn, King, Shaw, Dean, Hall, Gushee, Williams, Gilmore, Andrews, Hathaway, White, Tracy and Knapp are cited as the founding families of Raynham, and their descendants held prominent positions in the town until well into the 20th century. Town leaders, from the first families,
partitioned the Massachusetts General Court three times before they were
allowed to become independent from Taunton. The Court set the following
requirements for Raynham's succession from Taunton: "That the inhabitants
of said town do, within the space of three years from the publication of
this act, procure and settle a learned and orthodox minister of good conversation,
and make provisions for his comfortable and honorable support and likewise
provide a schoolmaster to instruct their children to
