On 29 May 1762, it was sold by John Stanborough, of Westerly, Rhode Island, to his sister, Abigail Stanborough, of Southampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. It was 22 acres, bounded thus: west by David Howell, north, east, and south by highways. It was lately owned by D. Frank Osborn, and now by -.-W.S.P.
