Hi, I dug up the record someone sent me over the net. I am unsure where it came from. It was sent to me by Peter Bullock. This is what it says. It doesn't make sense to me. It says Date: 1 April 1786 Signers Daniel Bullock and Mercy Bullock (Note the tenth of American Independence Now, Daniel and Mercy are US Independents) almost 3 years after the close of the Revolutionary War) Daniel is age 67 at this signing. Do we know who AAron Thresher is? Date:21 Feb. 1797 Signers Daniel Bullock, Mercy Bullock, Comfort Bullock, Bethiah Bullock Witnesses: David Pery Jr. and Ashahse (Afahse)Hix. (note at this signing Daniel is age 78. Comfort is age 33, going on 34 and had been married 12 years. What is "their right of Dower or Power of Thirds in and above demissed premises"? Again, who are David Pery, Jr. and Ashahse (Afahse) Hix? Peter is writing the above to Daine Straight. Diane, do you have the whole documents these statements were taken from? I am curious to know what the properities were, where they were located, who was selling, who was buying, etc. Several houses existed during the Revolutionin this neighborhood. Hezekiah Hix lived at the site of the present George Schoeler house, conveyin the farm to Nathan His in 1780. Although a house, barn and cornbarn were supposedly included, Nathan reported on his military pension application that he was living in a " "small black-smith shop". (Jonathan Russell Bullock said in his manuscript, that Daniel 3 was a blaacksmith.) One of Nathan's descendents, Jesse Peck, said that Nathan built the present house. North of the Hix homestead was a small farm owned by Ebenezer bullock. Still further north near the present Theodore Maddern house, Squire bullock owned a small farm. Benjamin Hix-381 Anawan Street The Hix family settled early in the Anawan Street area, with James Hix owning property mid-way up the street before 1733 and Ephraim Hix acquiring land at Anawan Corner" near the present Route 44. in 1765 Ephraim gave his son, Benjamin about 33 acres of land, including the sites of the present Anawan Barn and Rehoboth Plaza. Benjamin and his descendants lived here for years, the farm being split in two with the construction of Route 44. in the early 1800's. The house a large, 21/2 story structure was situated a bit north of the present Charles Waterman Jr. house. The last Hix to live here was Orris Hix in the mid 1800's. The house eventually falling into desrepair and torn down by the Watermans about ten years ago. I am going to continue this in another e-mail. Maybe you can puzzle it out. This is correspondence from Peter Bullock to me and from Diane Straight to him Claire
