BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of Those Who Attended Harvard College in the Classes 1731-1735 (1956, pp.605), re. Mesech Weare and his daughter Hannah: "His daughter, Hannah Porter, at her death in 1849, left a sum of money for a monument in his memory. Supplemented by funds from the state in 1853, it erected a monument on the Common near the [Weare] family mansion. Relatives later placed a small monument on his grave in the cemetery."
