A Medford author's residence.
Referring to Francis Green, a Medford author, we said (page 83, Vol.
Xviii),
As yet we have not learned his dwelling place.
Had we consulted our former pages we should have found the following (page 97, Vol.
Xv),
Francis Green,. . . came to Medford about 1798, and two years later occupied the house later belonging to Samuel Swan (Watson house.)
