"In 1805 Mrs. Scovel sold the house and part of the land to Zephaniah Mitchell, and he and his descendants lived here until 1875, giving their name to a long hill at whose foot the house stood.
"Caleb Chapman and the widow Abigail Scovel took letters of administration on the estate
May 5, 1778, which inventoried 285 Pounds. After his death his widow and children sold off the land piece by piece, and the records of these sales determined the names of the children, since no record of their births or baptisms exists. A distribution of the estate also names the heirs."
