Sandwich, Ms., Barnstable co. This town was granted to Edmund Freeman and others in 1637. Its Indian name was Shawme. Sandwich is situated on the shoulder of Cape Cod, and although much of the soil is thin and sandy, yet there is not a little of an excellent quality. It is watered by a number of streams, which afford a good water power, and by numerous ponds, some of which are large, affording a variety of excellent fish. The forests afford an abundance of deer. Sandwich has a good harbor within the cape, and navigable accommodations in Buzzard's Bay.

Barnstable County, Massachusetts (Hayward)

Gazetteer/Almanac
John Hayward, Gazetteer of the United States of America… (Philadelphia: James L. Gihon, 1854), 279.
Barnstable County, Ms. c. h. at Barnstable. This county includes the whole of Cape Cod. The whole length of the cape is 65 miles, and the average breadth about 5 miles.  Below the town of Barnstable the county is quite sandy, so much so that the people are generally dependent on Boston and other towns for a large proportion of their meats and breadstuffs. This deficit is amply compensated by the unrivalled privileges enjoyed, and well improred by them, in the cod, mackerel, and other fisheries.
