The town of Addison was given permission to incorporate by the General Court of Massachusetts on February 14, 1797. The settlers chose the name in honor of the British writer Joseph Addison. The earliest town records were lost but information has been pieced together from original family documents. The earliest settlers that we have knowledge of were: Moses Plummer, William Ingersoll who came around the Revolutionary War, the Drisko brothers, John, Joseph and Samuel Nash, Daniel Merritt, John Hall, William Tibbetts, Charles Tabbutt and Lemeul Dyer. Later documented settlers were Jeremiah Plummer ( son of Moses ), Freeman Yates, William Hix and Wilmot Wass. Jeremiah Plummer's house was on the Wescogus River. It was known for it's beautiful meadows and for an abundance of codfish. Freeman Yates lived on Addison Point and owned the entire tract of land now known as Addison Village. A tombstone, which has been recently re-cut by history benefactors, lies in the Baptist burying ground. It marks the place of Yates and his wife.
