By dMr. Wyman died, and Joseph Tufts, Esq., was appointed administrator upon his estate. By deed of August 14, 1820, for $227 the administrator conveyed to Edward Cutter a parcel of 2 acres, 1 quarter, and 36 poles, bounded northeasterly on Joseph Adams; easterly on Craigie's Road; southeastltine. Mr. Tufts, as administrator, as aforesaid by deed dated August 31, 1820, conveyed to Nehemiah Wyman (son) three and one-fourth acres bounded westerly on Craigie's Road; northwesterly and northeasterly on Joseph Adams; and southeasterly on a rangeway (Walnut Street) for $250.25. Mr. Wyman by deed of September 4, 1820, for $299 conveyed to Mr. Hazeltine. By deed recorded 313,541, the date have obtained has been from the records in the registry of deeds and the probate court, and from Wyman. The Jonathan who signed the receipt above recited was the grandfather of George W. Ireland.

on this judgment, and this land appraised at £ 110 was levied on as land of David Phipps. By deed dated March 19, 1795, Mr. Dana conveyed this land to Nathaniel Austin for £ 130. Mr. Austin by deed dated September 6, 1801, conveyed the land to Joseph Adams for $666.67, and called it an eleven-acre lot, and bounded it southerly on a rangeway (Barberry Lane); westerly on land belonging to the Church in Charlestown, and on land, late of Joshua and Samuel Rand, but now of Joseph Tufts and Colonel Wood; northerly on land of Thomas Ireland, deceased; and easterly on another rangeway (Walnut Street), and southerly and easterly again on land of Thomas Ireland, till it comes to the rangeway just mentioned. Thus it became a part of the estate of Joseph Adams, on another part of which estate Mr. Sargent now lives. I think Mr. Sargent married a descendant of this Mr. Adams. Joseph Adams died in 1824, leaving a will which was dated in 1823. In that will he gives to his sons, Joseph and Sa

John Cutler, and Aaron Ludkin, Deacons and Trustees for the Church of Charlestown, conveyed the whole twelve acres to said deacons and trustees. This £ 55 was a gift from Captain Richard Sprague and his wife, Mary. This was the Richard Sprague who was called Leffttenant, and with whom, February 15, 1662, the proprietors of the stinted common made an agreement whereby, for the use of twenty cow commons for twenty-one years, he agreed to erect and maintain a fence between the common and Mr. Winthrop's (the Ten Hills) farm. He died in 1668, and this agreement was one of his assets. He was captain of the pink convent, and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. He must have been a prominent man in Charlestown, for his name appears many times in the records. His total estate was inventoried at £ 2,337; no small estate for those times. Included in it was a warehouse and wharf, and interest in three vessels, the Dolphin, the Society, and another of which Michael Long

en it was part of the stinted common. Of the history of the stinted common, I think Mr. Elliot has fully written. There was a partition of a portion of the common made in 1681, and the proprietors thereof drew lots for their shares. Captain Timothy Wheeler drew lot No. 40. He was entitled to eight cow commons, and, therefore, twelve acres were set off to him. This was a parcel of forty rods frontage on Barberry Lane, and forty-eight rods frontage on School Street. Its opposite sides were equal. By deed dated July 9, 1683, Captain Wheeler for £ 55 lawful money of the colony of Massachusetts paid by William Stetson, John Cutler, and Aaron Ludkin, Deacons and Trustees for the Church of Charlestown, conveyed the whole twelve acres to said deacons and trustees.

Land on Barberry Lane. Additional Historical information concerning the Central Hill Park property, going back into early Colonial times. By L. Roger Wentworth, Esq. I will supplement Mr. Sargent's very interesting article by a history of the Barberry Lane property from Patrick T. Jackson's ownership back to the time when it was part of the stinted common. Of the history of the stinted common, I think Mr. Elliot has fully written. There was a partition of a portion of the common made in 1681, and the proprietors thereof drew lots for their shares.

a bondman, I suppose. He gave to Harvard College thirty ewe sheep and thirty lambs, and to the Church of Charlestown his remaining interest in the twenty cow commons above mentioned. His wife, Mary, died 1674, and she gave to the church a shop adjoining the meeting-house. She had, in 1671, loaned this shop to the church for its benefit. This land (our locus) remained in the ownership of this church till 1833, when John Doane, Jr., sole deacon of the First church in Charlestown, and Isaac Warren and John Soley, a committee for the purpose, by deed dated May 18, 1833, for $1,800 conveyed the whole twelve acres to Patrick T. Jackson, who was acting in the interest of the Boston & Lowell Railroad. Its history from this time Mr. Sargent has given. I do not recollect that any land was conveyed to Mr. Jackson by the Ireland family, except a parcel of land called the stone-pit, where Granite Street now is; which contained the only granite in Somerville, I am told, and from which pr

Mr. Wyman died, and Joseph Tufts, Esq., was appointed administrator upon his estate. By deed of August 14, 1820, for $227 the administrator conveyed to Edward Cutter a parcel of 2 acres, 1 qun a back lane. The last two bounds are Walnut Street and Barberry Lane, respectively. Edward Cutter, by deed dated March 13, 1823, conveyed to Amos Hazeltine.

They bound the first parcel: Northeasterly on Nathan Adams, 32 rods, 7 links; southeasterly on a rangeway (Walnut Street) 23 rods; southwesterly on Amos Hazeltine (no distance given); southeasterly on Amos Hazeltine, 26 rods, 8 links; southwesterly on Craigie's Road, 22 rods, and northwesterly on Barnard Tufts and Samuel Adams, 43 rods, 5 links, containing 7 acres, 2 quarters, and 38 poles. The second parcel they bound: Northeasterly on Craigie's Road, 22 rods; southeasterly on Amos Hazeltine, 24 rods, 2 links; southwesterly on a lane (Barberry), 21 rods, 6 links; and northwesterly on the church lot, 32 rods, 2 links. These bounds enable us to construct the lots with the Austin and the Hazeltine lots. By deed dated September 22, 1828, Lucy conveyed her onethird in both parts of the Aust

Douglas, and had a new set of appraisers apointed to appraise this land. They reported that it had been sold for taxes. There is no deed on record, so far as I have found, by John Ireland, conveying his equity in the land which he mortgaged to Mr. Phipps, and, as I have said, his inventory showed no real estate. What I have said above regarding foreclosures applies here, for in 1794 Francis Dana, who was then chief justice of our supreme judicial court, as executor of the will of Edmund Trowbridge (an eminent lawyer), obtained a judgment against David Phipps. The latter had been high sheriff of Middlesex County up to 1774, when he found the climate of some other British possession more salubrious than this and left. In other words, he was a Tory, and after he left, his property was confiscated. What was the cause of this particular trouble in the court, whee the chief justice sued the sheriff in behalf of a lawyer, it would be interesting to know. Probably the court records

By deed dated September 22, 1828, Lucy conveyed her onethird in both parts of the Austin lot for $343.84 to Mr. Torrey.

Mr. Torrey should have foreseen that this land would be needed for the Lowell railroad, and have redeemed it. BMr. Torrey should have foreseen that this land would be needed for the Lowell railroad, and have redeemed it. But he did not to his loss, and to Mr. Skelton's profit, for by deed dated May 4, 1833, Mr. Skelton conveyed it for $2,750 to Patrick T. Jackson. We have now traced the title to Patrick T.
