School and inquire (at such times as they shall think meet) what proficiency the youth and children make in their learning. As to the house first erected by Danforth and so long used by the Foxcrofts that it was known as the Foxcroft house, there is a seeming disagreement between the Rev. Lucius R. Paige and Mr. John Holmes. The former says that the house was burned in 1777, the latter that it was standing in his youth, dilapidated and untenantable. Mr. Holmes would mean about the year 1820.

Susan Louisa Higginson (lived in Cambridge, 1820-1842).
