May 19, 1811, James Holden of Brookline, Housewright, married Lucy Aspinwall, widow of Ebenezer Davis who died in 1807. The northerly third of the Homestead Farm, with its extensive cherry and apple orchards, was set off to Mr. Davis' widow for life, hence it was often called the "Holden Farm." About 1834 most of this tract passed to Thomas A. Davis, son of Ebenezer and Lucy A. Davis, who laid out Linden Place and sold the various house lots there. The highest price paid for any part of it was five and a half cents per foot.

Richard Mather of Dorchester. She was buried in King's Chapel Ground in Boston. Her son Rev. Seaborn Cotton became minister of Hampton, N. H., where he died. He was succeeded by his son Rev. John Cotton who died at Hampton, N. H. in 1710. His wife was Anna, dau. of Thomas Lake, a merchant of Boston, and a niece of Sir Edward Lake, LL.D., Chancellor of the Diocese of Lincolnshire, Eng.


Thomas, only son of John and Anna Cotton, came into possession of the part of the Cotton Farm east of Cypress Street and in 1740, after removing to Pomfret, Conn., sold it to Ebenezer Davis. This Thomas Cotton was a farmer and lived in Brookline from abt. 1711 to abt. 1739. His mother had married for a second husband Rev. Increase Mather of Boston, son of the Rev. Richard Mather above named. She died in Brookline of small-pox in 1737, and was buried in the old Walnut Street Ground.


Rev. John Cotton of Boston had a son, Rev. John Cotton of Plymouth. His son, Rev. Roland Cotton was minister of Sandwich. After him came Rev. John Cotton of Newton and from him the western half of the Cotton Farm passed to various owners.
