p. 188 Joseph Pope House
Mr. Norris . . . conveyed the lot to Eleanor Trustler, widow of Thomas Trustler, late of Salem, deceased, Aug 7. 1654. Mrs. Turstler evidently built a small house upon the land; and died, possessed of it, the next spring. The land with the housing was appraised at twenty pounds in the inventory of her estate. In her will, she devisded this estate to her sons Henry and Nicholas Phelps. The interest of Nicholas undoubtedly passed to his brother Henry Phelps when it was taken in 1660, to pay the fines levied upon Nicholas for being absent from religious services in the meeting house and for being a Quaker. Henry Phelps conveyed the house, orchard and land to Joseph ope of Salem . . . |
