Likely it was insulation, although Abbott Lowell Cummings wasn't positive. The Framed Houses of Massachusetts 


Bay, pp. 137-140+.

Hello Preservation listers,
 
A question from one of our historic house owners re: his home built in 2nd quarter 18th c. He’s found rough brick nogging throughout, and wondered if it was a form of insulation, or perhaps reinforcing to protect from attacks?
 
Your collective wisdom eagerly awaited…
