Next lived JOHN WHITE, who had married Mary, sister of Capt. Henley, and who (198) claimed £420. for a dwelling and shop with { a brick wall between it and his house. Isaac Codman, who had married Abigail Foster, stated a loss of a store, chocolate mill, and personal, between Main and "back st." and next J. White.
Between the Bank and a narrow alley is a large estate (11), that for many years stood in the name of Bradstreet, and on Main St. is now occupied by a much altered, old, three-storied wooden building. well finished inside, long the shop and home of Katharine B. On the lower floor was the once well-known dry-goods store of W'm Arnold, and later, for nearly forty years the bookstore of McKim and Cutter, A. E. Cutter, and F. M. Reed. On the former garden for a long while has stood another but plainer three-storied wooden building in business use. Leach gives no note of this estate. Sheriff Richard Foster (who died 1774) left his daughter Abigail a house on Main St., and Sarah the Bradstreet lot that she occupied. Tho former was the wife of Isaac Codman (202), and the latter of Sam. Bradstreet and a claimant (199) for a small loss on personal estate. Claim (123) was made for the ESTATE of RICHARD FOSTER (old

house where Mrs. Bradstreet lived). Half of a house here occupied by SAM. B. and ISAAC F. (claim 24) was sold (1770) by him to his daughters. Mary Austin stated that she lost a house "between Capt. Isaac foster and Mr. Richard Bouylstown," valued at £266. 13. 4. By the "Survey " of 1767 the house of the "Widow Johnson " appears to have been near this place.
At the S. E. corner of the alley is a small lot (12) covered by an old three-storied wooden building with a store on the lower floor of the front end on Main St. JOSEPH DOWSE claimed (116) for loss 1775, and S. Dowse bought here (1785), it seems.
Adjoining is a block of plain three-storied brick buildings (pl. 13), on the lower floors of which have been stores for many years, and in the upper, dwellings or offices. In the third story, at the south- erly end, Mr. Caleb Rand has printed for a long time. The estate belonged to Dr. ISAAC RAND, who claimed (117) for loss, 1775 (house and barn), and sold the lot, with cellars (1786), to S. Dowse.
At 14 is a low and narrow three-storied building with a plain front of hewn granite, built for the Phoenix Bank (in operation between 1832 and 1842), and subsequently used for other business.
At 15 stands a four-storied building with brick ends and a wooden front, clapboarded and painted brown, developed from a quaint store of three stories, and used for business, as it always has been. In 1771 Joseph Dowse sold this estate to N. DOWSE, who claimed £600. (352) for loss, 1775, and sold (1781) houses burned to Jos. Lynde. He sold (1783) to Joseph Hurd, one of the prominent local traders, who sold (1817) to Skinner & Hurd. For years, while the Square was a market-place of the old sort, and a great many farmers and others from the country brought produce there for sale, this firm dealt in it, and in groceries.
Next east, where now is Warren St., the successor of the narrow, crooked Phillip's lane, Leach vaguely sets down "Lemon." There was a claim (128) for loss in 1775 of buildings, on account of the estate of JOSEPH LEMMON, and one by ELIZABETHI (his widow?) (129) for personal. By the "Survey " of 1767 " Mrs Lemmons House [was] joyning Dowsc® Land."
From the N. E. corner of Warren St. to Warren Avenue, and from these points to the river, and most of the distance to the Navy Yard, swept the great fire of Aug. 28, 1835, still (1887) the most destructive in the town since that of 1775. On the Square, building was begun after the autumn of the next year, and most of the edi- fices within these bounds date from 1836, or not long afterwards.
121
THE TOWN IN 1775.
At the corner (16, 17) was a plain, narrow brick building of three stories with an end on the Square, and beyond it, along Warren St., are five three-storied brick, and three two-storied wooden, houses reaching to Joiner St. At the centre of 17 stands the building of the Bunker Hill Bank, of brick, three stories high, with brownstone trimmings and a wooden cornice painted to match, and built to replace an earlier edifice, of plain cut granite, with three low stories, and arched windows in the second story. At the corner of Chelsea St. is a plain brick building of three stories, not as high as the present Bank, and beyond it to Joiner St. are several three-storied dwelling- houses. Eben! AUSTIN, who died 1723, had, about on the site of the Bank, a house (27 ft. front, 16 ft. deep?), and his son Eben' inherited half and bought half (1734). After the death of the latter (1757) his heirs took it, and held it (to 1815?). Eben' also had (1723) adjoining a house described as new. "Nat Austin" is put near here by Leach. Nath!, pewterer, son of Eben. 2d (claim 203), had half a house behind the Town House, and Nath', goldsmith, "harlf a house," barn, and woodhouse (where?). Mary had a dwelling bounded by Nat. and widow Welsh (who had a dwelling on Joiner St.).
18 and 19 are perplexing areas, but it seems safe to name AUSTINS among the owners in 1775. John, Jr., lost a dwelling where he lived, valued at £500., and Ruth "Harlf a House," valued at £650. 20, originally the lot of Maj. Sedgwick (see Plan, 1638), passed to Ward, Phillips, and WM. WYER, a part of whose claim for loss (210) seems to have been here ("my house and barn"). In 1784 Dea. Timothy Newell bought this lot and another back of it. Part of the back land was in the Gorham estate to 1793, whence it passed to .J. Thompson, then (1795) to J. W. Langdon, then (1797) to G. Bart- lett, then (1801) to A. Roulstone, who died in 1834, - an example of the changes in the ownership of some of these lots.
ODIN (John) and BALLARD (Jos.), who claimed (211) for loss in 1775, seem to have had a narrow lot at this corner, 19 ft. on the Square, and along a lane, partly, it may be, on the area of Chambers St. (with (?) their " well finished house & in good repair," 9 fireplaces. squares of glass 10 × 8).
On the S. W. side of that street, at 21, the land was owned by EBENEZER BREED, a family in town from early in the last century, and losses here are probably in his claim (12). By one account 22 was bought (1755) by S. Conant, and passed (1814) from his grand- son to E. Cook, and was W. M. Edmands's in 1858. By another account, Chambers Russell sold here (1761) to CHARLES RUSSELL,
122
NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE FERRY.
who claimed (114) £650. for loss. SARAH RUSSELL claimed (113) £491., and must have been in this neighborhood. She stated her loss of "A Neet Mansion House" two stories high, giving a long description. Leach briefly marks the corner "Russell." During the war, ownership of 23 (R. Trumbull and T. Jenner, 1814) is not determined by the writer. 24 appears to have been sold by Wm. Stanton to R. Trumbull in 1779. Some of the following-named losses may have been here. These areas (19 to 22) are occupied on the Square by three-storied buildings, all used for business, and of brick, except at 19, where the fronts are of cut granite.
On the ferry wharf (south of lower left corner of Plan I.) RICHARD TRUMBULL seems to have occupied a shop belonging to the town (G. and E., 956). He had a claim (2) for loss on buildings ("wife's house "?) in 1775 ; but as his claim for personal estate was small he apparently had removed most of his goods. Close by, Dea. MICHAEL BRIGDEN, who died in 1767, had a house (bought by his father in 1700), and an interest in a wharf (from 1733). For his estate claim (1) was made for a loss, £525., on real estate, but none on personal, a charge of £7. 10s. for cartage indicating that the latter was re- moved. His heirs reported a large house, wharf, barns, fences, etc., at £733. 6. 8. "Bunker's Wharff" was opposite, according to the Survey of 1767. (See 35.) The land, that seems to have been held by his family until 1829, has long been used for wharfage. TIMOTHY BRIGDEY (235) had a "shop and barn " near by. WM. MANNING'S WIFE (227) claimed, he (a ferryman) reporting two dwellings "be- longing to me and wife." THOS. GOODWIN had a small interest in the ferry estate (divided, 1786), and a claim (7), as also had BENJ. (280), the latter having (where?) 2 barns and 2 "shay " houses, etc. Near by, JOHN LARKIN (4) had "loss wharf, etc." (G. and E., 601), "} warehouse and wharf," £10., by his statement, with £99. 12. 8 personal (£65. 19. 10 in claim). Martha, widow of Eben! King, seems to have had two shops, a barn, wharf, etc. near the ferry, about which she made a statement. THOMAS LARKIN had a claim (3), as also had SAM. LARKIN (6), "hous and back shop, barn and shayhous " (?); the site of a house liere he seems to have disposed of to his son (1776). The areas of all these estates have long been used for business purposes. Also near and north of the ferry were losses by MARY CUTTER, also WMI. CONANT (214) "house and store," and at least part of a large one by JOHN STANTON (216), he describing " 1 large dwelling house near the ferry with other buildings adjoining 40 foot on the main street 96 feet on ye other," £666. 13. 4; also "a
123

large Home in Wappen cost me £333. 6. 8." It may be added that the whole area from the old ferry eastward to the Navy Yard and northward to Chelsea St. will probably soon be occupied by the Fitchburg R. R. Co. (See Stanton, p. 128.)
Hon. THOMAS RUSSELL, son of Judge James (who outlived him two years), a leading merchant in his time, had a large claim (5) for loss in 1775 of £1,750. on real, and £516. 2. 4d. on personal estate. Bought (1764) of D. Russell's heirs (for £600., deed 61, p. 612) and property long in the family, he had a wharf, land, and flats, extend- ing from Main St., at 25, S. W. to Charles River. On the first were two warehouses, 60 × 20 and 40 × 20, and there was " a large and Costly dwelling House " that he valued at £1,333. 6. 8. After the war he built a brick house (p. 88) on the area of Water St., between the present two bridges, but did not occupy it before his death (1796). The Survey of 1767 states that it was 443 feet "from Cheevers N: W : Corner to the Corner of Russell's House " (p. 125).
At 26 A, extending nearly to the avenue to Warren Bridge (as that is marked on Plan I.), and then running 100 ft. southward to the river, was an estate where lived John CODMAN, sea-captain, poi- soned at home by his slaves in 1755. Their trial, described by Mr. Goodell (see p. 280 herein), was among the most notable events of its kind in the Colonial history of the town. JOHN (his son) claimed (391) £1,277. for losses (mansion, wharf, "wherehouse," etc.). At 26 B was an adjoining lot with a house that he bought (1771), and sold (1793) to Thos. Russell. D. Lawrence owned at 27; lot A he sold to R. DEVENS, B to EBEN. BREED (both 1750), and in their claims (8 and 12) losses here are probably represented.
Joseph HOPKINS, "waterman," bought (1725) the corner estate fronting the Square, and his son JOSEPH inherited part and bought his mother's interest. He, described as a "hatter," etc., had estates on Harvard St. (44 F, G, II), and claimed (9) for losses. He is said to have been married six times within 27} years.
Almost corresponding with the area of the avenue to Warren Bridge was the CARY estate. Samuel, " ship-chandler," bought (1717) a house, malt-house, and dock, that he left (1741) to his sons, Nath1 and Richard, and the former sold (1749) his part to the latter. By that time there appear to have been two warehouses and a still-house. RICHARD, who died in 1790 (?), claimed little on personal estate, but he valued at £600. " some part " of his loss on a dwelling-house with brick ends and four rooms on a floor, with a small shop nt one end, an outkitchen, and cistern, and nt £900. a still-house

almost new, with a brick wall and two stills, a large wharf, and double warehouse.
Adjoining the Cary property was a lot, 28, originally held by Thos. Graves, the Cromwellian Admiral (60 in Book of Possessions), that passed to the Russells and was long held by them, and finally by the Hon. JAMES RUSSELL, who had children, and who, like others of his family, owned a good deal of land in town, chiefly outside the Neck. His land here, reaching (perhaps 200 ft.) from the Square to the river, seems to have been occupied by a warehouse and wharf, as well as by his "large mansion," 50 ft. front, that he valued at £1,333. 6. 8. His claim (11), one of the largest, was for the total amount of £2,501. 2s. As only £199. is for personal property, and as £7. 10 is added for cartage, much may have been removed. His list in- cludes a considerable amount of furniture, hangings for two rooms, silk bed canopies, etc., but no books, pictures, or mahogany.
Judge Russell bought (1759, 1783) some of the back land of 29, the front land of which was a garden before an oblong house, with its end towards the Square, standing on 30 previous to the war. In this house lived two families, with a front door in common on the east side, between which and the garden was a passageway 6 ft. wide paved with flat stones. (See deeds 167, p. 246 for these particulars.) In the N. end (next the Square) was Capt. JOSIAH HARRIS, who claimed "hous and workhouses " (166), and in the other was MRS. PARKER. The widow Parker claimed (155) £80. JOSIAH IIARRIS, Jr., who had an interest in two lots hereabouts, claimed (167) for loss of £200. on buildings, "half of a house," and a trifling amount on personal ; and JOHN LARKIN (Dea. Ist ch.), who bought here in 1759, claimed (168) £425. 10. 4d. for loss on real estate. He owned other property and seems to have removed most of his personal effects. MATTHEW CLARK, "boat builder," the year before the war bought part of a house and a narrow lot reaching to the water, and claimed on it (165) as well as for personal, including five boats. IIe and Capt. Harris seem to have removed only a moderate part of their personal property. After the war, on the garden ground already mentioned arose John Harris's house (45} × 41 ft.) of wood, plain, and three stories high ; in its later years an ordinary public house. At 30 was his store, a similar but smaller building used for mechani- cal and other business. The two, together with the Russell mansion, were in poor enough condition when pulled down to give place for the "Waverley House," a very large brick hotel erected (1866-67) by Moses A. Dow, extending from Front St. by the Square to Jenner

St., and much larger, indeed, than any other public or private structure ever on the peninsula, except, perhaps, the Hoosac Elevator. Abut- ting 30, westward, was the estate of John Austin (60, Plan II.).
From 170 to 200 ft. east of Joiner St. was a dock crossed by a swing-bridge, broadening into a basin, and ending in small divisions that extended to the present Chelsea St., and almost to its junction with Henley St. At or near the head was a wharf, east of 32, sold (1723-24) by B. Green to S. Trumbull, from whom it passed (1761) to John Ivory, and (1769) to SAM. HENLEY, whose loss here, "a large Distillhouse,"? helped to swell his claim (109). JAMES TRUM- BULL, son of S., seems to have had property hercabouts, helping to swell his claim (243). In the neighborhood - rather an unsavory one - there were two or three distilleries and a tanyard, that must have made it peculiarly inflammable.
THOMAS and MARY WELCH, who had a claim, dwelling, stable 72 × 22, and shop? (207), sold (1786) a house and wharf, at or about 34, to J. Cordis, bounded S. W. 46 ft. on Joiner St., S. E. 159 ft. on D. Cheever, and N. W. 80 ft. on land of heirs of Theo. Ivory, who bought (1703) of Maj. D. Davison, bounded W. or S. W. also on Joiner St., which might be at or near 33.
At or about 35 was a lot 93 ft. S. W. on Joiner St., N. W. 168 ft. on T. and W. Welch, and N. E. 142 ft. on dock, that (1770) came into the hands of DAVID CHEEVER, who claimed (110) for loss in 1775 of £2,176. on real, - here a still-house, cooper's shop, etc., - but only £86. on personal estate. He had a large house, four rooms on a " Flower," 3 " stare "cases, 6 chambers, 3 upper chambers, etc. (See 25.) This lot is "where the distillery stood in 1775" (G. and E., 241).
RICHARD CARY appears to have had an estate east of 36, but his chief property seems to have been at 27.
On the S. E. was a J. Codman estate, that the writer has not deter- mined. On this street no estates are even alluded to by Leach. JOHN CODMAN claimed (391) £1,277. (G. and E., p. 225, says £217.) ; but his chief estate seems to have been at 26. D. Lawrence is re- ferred to here before the Revolution. There were four Daniels, and the writer thinks that he can omit this puzzle.
Also in the neighborhood of the dock appear to have been the losses of JOSEPH JOHNSON (230), a large house and warehouse ; BATTERY POWERS (231), pot-house, kiln-house, and clay-mill ; JESSE HARDING (43), the children of E. CHEEVER (192) (3 a dwelling ?), and of a dwelling and shed reported by John Edmands.
126
WATER STREET.
In 1761 Moses Gill, Lt .- Gov. of Mass., held 38 and 39, and John Gill 37 (apparently derived from Lt .- Col. Michael Gill, who came to town 1696?), and sold not long after the Revolution. MOSES GILL claimed (124) £400. for loss on real only, - a large mansion of three " tinniments," near the ferry, that he valued at £591. 7. 7. In regard to the areas 40 and 41 (and to 17, 18), the writer can only add that the intricacies of transfers may be passed by stating that John Austin (31) seems to have been at or near the corner of Chelsea St .; that on the lower end of the present Warren St. seem to have been Nath. Austin (see 17), goldsmith (240); Ruth (242), widow of Capt. Thos. Austin ; Mrs. Best (a house) and Powers (290) ; Jas. Call, £250. on real (224) ; and near by, Wm. Leathers, dwelling and barn (249), and Wm. Leathers, Jr. (250), house, shop, barn, "horsel and shope goods."
Northeastward from the way to the ferry (to the old bridge) a " new street " was laid out, now WATER ST., running parallel to the river and leading to the present gate of the Navy Yard. Leach, who calls it "about 1600 feet long," gives family, but not other, names of abutters, indicated below by italics. The losses here were : -

(Their whole claim (see no. 102) included 3 of a house and barn; a house; a house and barn; a workhouse; a " fraim " of a vessel, 170 tons ; and a large amount of timber.) Op- posite them was Breed, 56 ft. Fosdick, 99 ft. JAMES (86), £350., on buildings (the only like Fosdick claim, but he reported a dwelling "just without the Neck," and "whovers," £150.). - Harris, 49 ft. (which ?) .- Phillips, 82 ft. (which ?). - Orr, 45 ft. ELIZABETHI (268), £100. on buildings. A Road next. Munro, 104 ft. DAVID (208), £293. on buildings.

B., innholder.
At the easterly part of Water St. there appear to have been, in addition, JOSIAH AUSTIN (241), between Water and Henley sts .; Jo- SEPHI BREED (283), a house (both for £60.) ; also (?) LYDIA IFOOD (22), part of a house ; and ANDREW NEWELL (301), § a house, a barn, cooper-shop, store, ete Martha (widow of Andrew ?) stated loss of her house and " Houselstuff" at £750. (end of Joiner Street ?).
Near the Battery appear to have arisen the claims of NATHE CARY (267) and of THOS. MARDLEN (269), a large dwelling, sheds, etc., and part of that of NATH! DOWSE (352). Towards the Point also
128
HENLEY STREET.
appear to have been those of REBECCA SPRAGUE (305) and (?) DAVID NEWELL (262), a dwelling and a barn.
Turning at this, the easterly, end of the town, and entering HENLEY ST., running at an acute angle from Water St. west to Main St. (at 10, Plan I.), we first pass Brown, Newell, and Foye, already mentioned, and reach family names noted by Leach, as follows, given in italics :-
Stanton, 90 ft. front. JOHN (216, see p. 123). JOHN FENTON (92) claimed £802. for losses. - Waters. ABRAHAM (264), £110. (small house, etc., 33 × 123). - Johnson (both sides of the street). ELEAZER and KATY (200), £300. (house, and old warehouse ?). - Foster (both sides). The estate of ISAAC (123), } a house (see also 11, Plan I). Thomas (both sides).
