From The Newhall Family of Lynn:86
    Thoms removed very early to Leicester, where in 1724 he was chosen to represent the town in General Court. In Jan., 1727-8, he bought a thirty-acre lot on Strawberry Hill. In June, 1728, he, then called Lieutenant, bought a tract of one hundred acres at the south end of the Settlers’ part of Leicester, near Judge Menzies. In Nov., 1728, he bought of James Wilson a messuage, etc., containing nearly one hundred and fifty acres, about two miles and a half southwest of the meeting-house in Leicester, and near land of Capt. Samuel Green; and in April, 1730, he bought of the same a messuage and tract of nearly one hundred and twenty acres, near land of Thomas Richardson, Capt. Green, Kenny, Jonas Clark and William Green.
    These seem to have constituted his principal purchases of real estate in Leicester. In July, 1732, he sold to John Converse, blacksmith, fifty acres of land at Newhall’s Hill. Two days afterward he conveyed to his son Jonathan Newhall of Leicester the lot bought of James Wilson (see above), reserving saw-mill and stream and lumber pit to same and the right to saw during his lifetime. In Jan., 1769, Thomas Newhall of Worcester, gentleman, conveys to Jonathan Newhall of Leicester, gentleman, land in Leicester on the road to Sturbridge and near land of Thomas Newhall, jr.
    The date of Lieut. Newhall's death has not been ascertained. What was left of his real estate seems to have been divided, in pursuance to an order of court of 6 April, 1776, into four equal pails, viz.: to Isaac Moore, Dorothy Newhall, the children of Mary Earle, and the children of Abigail Earle.

Strawberry Hill was the name for Leicester before given the name Leicester. Strawberry Hill itself is west of the center of town, just west of Sargent Pond. There’s a golf course there called Straberry Hills Golf Course. The “Settler’s part” of Leicester is what is now the town of Leicester; the west part was set off as the town of Spencer.
