BLOCK NO. 10-
All of this block was allotted to private owners before 1675. It was divided into a series of strips paralleling the highway, now the New Post Road. At the southeast corner of the first of these, set out before 1673 to John Cable Jr., a small piece (Parcel A.) was later granted to John Whitear, Senior, clockmaker and bell founder. His "bell house" stood in the

Thomas Basset and Richard Vowles were each original owners of half the next strip (Parcels C. and D.) which, by the time of the Revolution, was property of the brothers Heze-

BLOCK NO. 15-
With exception of two small plots on the southeastern side (Parcels "C" and "D"), this block remained common land until 1750. Parcel A, which included about half the entire area, was laid out to John and Esther Hill in the big "devedent" of 1750. In Parcel B. stands the house built after the Revolution by Samuel Wakeman. Parcel C. was homestead of James Burr by 1752, he having acquired the original grant to Daniel Mecar or Meeker (Parcel "C") by purchase and the re- mainder by "devedent" from the town fathers. James Burr was a cordwainer, or worker in cordovan leather-in other words, a shoemaker. Parcels D. and E. were granted in the "devedent" year to the widow and children of Joseph Bulkley.
