¿ The Rev. George Burdet is stated by Felt to have preached at Sa- lem from 1635 to 1637. This lot was probably the one granted to him Aug. 22, 1635 " upon the Rock beyond Mr. Endicott's fence," (see page 9) and I conjecture that it was on the east side of the northern end of Washington street. John Smith owned a house and land there in 1650, and sold it in 1658, bounding south "by the house and land of Mr. Endecott" and extending northerly to the bank of the river. The word " Rock" may have meant the steep or rocky bank of the river.
