"The Weare selectmen sent Thomas Cilley, in charge of a messenger, home to Seabrook. Cilley's wife had died in Weare and they sent a bill for her funeral expenses, support, doctor bill and Mr Cilley's board and demanded payment. They also demanded that the messenger's expenses be paid all of which must have been exceedingly pleasant to that seaside town. His son, Thomas Cilley Jr., who lived in the northeast part of town was a great woodchuck hunter. He said that he always knew when he had got one because he could hear him 'chickawhicker' in the wall. From this Mr Cilley bore the name chickawicker even after.

He soon after settled on the old center road one forth mile west of East Weare"
