Essex County Registry Of Deeds
WENHAM GRANTEE DEED
This deed is for an undeveloped parcel in Wenham, with Thos. Bath, Daniel Dodge himself, and Thomas Patch
as abutters. The "Mr." honorific indicates respect for Daniel Dodge as a graduate of Harvard and local schoolmaster.
It'll take some more time and energy to locate this one on a map. The witnesses, Jonathan Kniles and Elizabeth Harris are also obscure.
Robert Hale, Justice of the Peace, was the son of the Rev. John Hale, first pastor of the Beverly congregation, who recorded the baptisms of Phillip and Martha's children.
