Would it be possible to do two additional searches on the same property: 1. The aforementioned deed states that the property on March 27, 1850 was purchased from Solomon Spaulding (Book 193. Page 153). Might I have a copy of this deed? I am unsure whether the property was acquired by Thomas Wren Ward or a member of the Dorr family. 2. I am also trying to determine who purchased the Mary Gray Ward Dorr property. The deed refers to a payment of $14, 125 suggests that it was sold to the estate of her father, Thomas Wren Ward. But to whom did the Wards sell the property that on an 1874 map is apparently owned by Charles H. Adams or Joseph H. Curtis.? I'd appreciate your assistance in this matter since it will help me sort out last minute details for my biography of the founder of Acadia National Park, George Bucknam Dorr (1853-1944), who was born at this residence.

The property owner was Charles Hazen Dorr who acquired a piece of land on or just off Lakeville Place (Jamaica Plain) in the 1840's and sold it before the start of the Civil War, to the best of my knowledge. It is possible that the property could have been co- listed under the name of his wife, Mary Gray Ward Dorr. The property ownership is indicated on a 1858 Suffolk County map owned by the Boston Public Library and posted on the Jamaica Plain Historical Society webpages. Please contact me if there is any difficulty in processing this request. A check is enclosed for the $2. flat fee. Thank you. Ronald H.
