     In 1735 a group of Concord residents led by John Flint petitioned the General Court for a new town to be set off from the easterly part of Concord, the northerly part of Weston, and the westerly part of Lexington. Noah Brooks, a resident of East Concord, was, with his brothers and sister Esther, among those signing a petition opposing the request. Their opposition was unsuccessful, and the new town of Acton was created 3 Jul 1735 from "The Village, or New Grant, Together with Willard's Farms" sections of Concord.4 Esther died in Acton, formerly Concord, 11 Jan 1742/43 at age 74.5
