THE MCELWANE FAMILY.

521
M'ELWANE.
lying at the junction of Ware and Swift river, and sold it to Green & Walker, merchants of Boston. He died 1730-1. His wife gave deed to her right of dower, 1733, to the same parties. His deed is dated New Marlborough, her quit claim was dated at New Marl- borough or Kingsfield. Their two sons, James settled on a lot joining on the east and the south side of Ware river ; and Timothy on the west side of Swift river. The two sons had their lots con- firmed to them by the General Court.
James, the elder brother never married, he disposed of his land (his lot in the north division) to a merchant in Boston, and the lot near the four corners to the family of his brother Timothy, and then returned to his native country. The family tradition says that he was desirous of taking home John Allen, the son of his brother for heirship. This lot of his afterwards became the homestead of this son. Timothy was but eighteen years of age when he purchased his lot, and twenty-two when it was con- firmed to him by the General Court. He married at the age of twenty-eight.
