Todd and Friends, I have a book titled "1783-1983 Reflections of Longmeadow" that has in it a map of the "Land Grants of 1645, Longmeadow, MA" with the names of those first settlers attached to their properties. The map was drawn in 1940 by Harry Andrew Wright. The book is published by the Longmeadow Historical Society. In the book are 1880s photos of the Keep Family farmhouse and Colton's General Store. It features Longmeadow personalities Samuel Colton, John Chapman, Eleazer Williams, Stephen Williams, and Mary Ann Booth. If I can be of any help, please ask. Sandy Di Nanni

Dear Sandy, Does your book contain any information about the property purchased by Henry Leland Bowles (Bolles) on Longmeadow Street? The property was a small farm and the main house fronted Longmeadow Street. It was purchased around the turn of the century. Thank you.

Dear Elaine, I'm sorry but the book isn't that specific about most of Longmeadow's later residents...and the only map is from the very earliest settlers' perspectives.
