west of Munroe street, where the house of Mrs. Wallis 

 stood which was recently removed, and it now forms 

 part of Capt. Bertram's estate. 



Between Richard Bishop's land and Beckford street, 

 Thomas Trusler owned four acres, in 1653. This appears 

 to have been originally two house-lots, each nine rods 

 in width, one of which was owned by William Bound, 

 whose house was near the river. Thomas Trusler's 

 house was on the west side of the north end of Beck- 

 ford street. His widow left it to her son Edward Phelps, 

 who, in 1657, conveyed it, with three acres and a half of 

 land adjoining, to Thomas Bobbins, from whom it de-

 who afterwards married Joseph Bubier of Marblehead,

 in that family for many years. Between Thomas Robins 

 land and Essex street there were four dwelling houses 

 before 1680. On the corner was the " Kitchen House "

 west a house where George Dean lived in 1674 ; and 

 west of that one which Thomas Maule built in 1674, 

 and west of this another which John Kitchen sold to 

 Richard Croad, in 1^664. 



East of Beckford street were three house-lots running 

 from the river to Essex street, and each seven rods in 

 width, the first owned before 1661, by Thomas Cole, and 

 the next by Samuel Belknap, both of whose houses were 

 near the river. The third from Beckford street was the 

 homestead of Allen Kenniston as early as 1640. His 

 widow married Philip Cromwell, who sold it to William 

 Hirst in 1680. Dr. George B. Loring now lives on the
