In 1834. Jehiel Squire, John Nesmith. Sr.. Leavitt Weeks and William Eyles [not clear if it was William Jr or his father] laid out the road running from the Center east. They commenced to angle just east of the Center. on account of natural obstructions on the center line. and formed a junction with the Copley west-center road one and a half miles west of Copley Center. The survey was continued to that place, the distance being found to be five miles and thirty-nine rods. The other roads were laid out later, as the needs of the settlers required.
