GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF BARNSTABLE FAMILIES. 7
Jot owned in 1654 by Tristram Hull,* and south by the
highway.
Beside his house lots, he owned meadow at Sandy
Neck, and in 1647 owned the land on the north of the Hallett
Farm, adjoining the bounds of Yarmouth. Besides the
above he had rights in the common lands, and other large
tracts. He sold at one time 100 acres to Koger Groodspeed.
Mr. Allyn's house lots, with the lots named in the note,
constituted the central portion of the village as originally
laid out. On the west probably in the order named, were
the lots of Gov. Hinckley, Samuel Hinckley, Gen. Cudworth,
James Hamblen, Lawrence Litchfield, Henry Goggin,
(on the west of Goggin's Pond) Henry Bourne, William
Crocker, Austin Bearse, John Cooper, Thomas Hatch, Robert
Sheley, William Betts, Henry Coxwell, Dollar Davis,
John Crocker,. Thomas Shaw, Abraham Blish, and Anthony
Annable. The farm of the latter is now owned by Nathan
Jenkins,
On the east of Rendezvous Lane, Mr. John Lothrop,
John Hall, Henry Rowley, Isaac Wells, John Smith, Geo.
Lewis, Edward Fittsrandle, (Lot on west side of the road
to Hyannis) Bernard Lumbard, Roger Goodspeed, (Henry
Cobb, Thomas Huckins, John Scudder, Samuel Mayo,)
Nathaniel Bacon, Richard Foxwell, Thomas Dimmock.
Isaac Davis' house stands near where the Old Dimmock
house stood. The Agricultural Hall stands on Foxwell's
land.
Mr. Allyn was not much in public life. March 1,
1641-2 he WHS propounded to be a freeman of the Plymouth
Colony, admitted 1652 ; in 1644, 1651 and 1658 he was
*N0TE.—In 1647 the highway run on a straight Ihie from Mr. John
Burseley's corner to the head of Rendezvous Lane. In 1686 when the
present road was laid out, the ancient road was followed as far as
Jail Hill when it was turned to the northeast through the lands of
Capt. Joseph Lothrop. I am inclined to the opinion that the ancient
road was on the south of the swamp and joined the present road where
the first court house stood, on the east of the Sturgis tavern. Joseph
Hull, son of Tristram, sold Lot No 7 in 1678 to John Lothrop. Thomas
Annable, Doctor Abner Hersey, Isaiah Hinckley, and Elijah Crocker
have since owned it. No. 8, 6 acres, was Wm. Casly's lot, afterwards
Hon. Barnabas Lothrop's; No. 9, 10 acres, was Robert Lynnell's. No.
10, 12 acres, Thomas Lombard's lot, sold to Thomas Lewis; No. 11. 12
acres, Thomas Lothrop's Land, bounded easterly by Rendezvous Lane,
'^liese Lots embraced the central position of the village as it was originally
laid out.
