Some old Medford houses and estates.
The Wilson and Blanchard houses. by John H. Hooper.
[Read before the Medford Historical Society, January 18, 1904.]
THE Wilson House stood about one-eighth of a mile southeast of the old Wellington farm house, upon land granted by the General Court to Mr. John Wilson.
The records of the court holden in Boston, April 1, 1634, say: There is two hundred acres of land granted to Mr. John Wilson, Pastor of the Church in Boston, lying next the land granted to Mr. Nowell on the south, and next to Meadford on the north.
This house was no doubt built soon after the date of Mr. Wilson's grant.
Mr. Charles Brooks, in his History of Medford (1855), says: The cellar of the house was small and deep, the cellar wall of stone, and the chimney was built of brick, laid up with clay.
The location of this house can still be seen.
The twelfth day of the twelfth month, 1650, Mr. Wilson sold his farm, consisting of two hundred acres of land, with dwelling

The taverns of Medford. by John H. Hooper.

for many years the most direct route of land travel from northern and eastern New England to Boston was through the town of Medford and over Mystic bridge.
This large amount of travel required more tavern accommodaions than were usual to a place of size and importance of the town of Medford.
We accordingly find houses for the entertainment of man and beast located on all of our principal thoroughfares, on the roads from Medford to Woburn, from Medford to Malden, and on the great road to Charlestown, also in the market-place.
Medford taverns acquired a justly high reputation for their excellent accommodations even as early as the year 1686.
Mr. John Dunton, who visited Medford in that year, says: took Sanctuary in a Public, where there was extraordinary good Cyder, and thoa I had n't such a Noble Treat as at Captain Jenner's, yet with the Cyder and such other

[Read before the Medford Historical Society, November 21, 1904.] Continued from Vol.
VIII., No. 1.
This house was built about the year 1752 by Mr. Benjamin Parker, at one time treasurer of the town of Medford.
By deed dated June 6, 1752, Mr. Jonathan
Zzz. Tufts sold to Mr. Parker one-half acre of marshland, bounded easterly on the county road; southerly on land of Merrow; westerly on land of said Tufts, and northerly on Mystic river.
This lot of land is the same as that lately occupied by Messrs. Page & Curtin, and also that occupied by Mr. John Crowley.
The whole property has been taken by the Metropolitan Park Commissioners for a parkway.
The land described as that of Merrow is the same as that upon which now stands the paint shop in the possession of Mr. Nathaniel Ames.
In the year 1753 Messrs. Ebenezer Merrow and Thomas Welsh were fined for setting up a fence on the highway between said Merrow's dwel
