Deed 35314 476
�Definitely built by Graves between 1804 and 1822, when it is mentioned in the deed of 11
Carlton Street (230:184). It is listed on his probate in 1826. It stands to reason that it was built
between 1804 and 1807, when Graves purchased 11 Carlton, and probably in 1804 if it was
serving as Graves’ residence at the time.
Atlases:
W.H. Odell- 1874
W.H. Odell- 1897
Jas. Wade- 1911
MHC MACRIS SAL.32.91:
“The land under 13 Carlton Street was once part of a large parcel (including 11 Carlton Street)
that stretched all the way to Becket Street. From the deed, it would appear that there were no
buildings on this parcel when John Becket sold it to chairmaker Caleb Manning in January of
1804. Nine months later, Manning resold the portion of the land comprising 13 Carlton Street to
Samuel B. Graves. The appearance of this structure would seem to indicate that Graves had it
built soon after purchasing the land. In 1809 Graves married Grace Oakes, sister of Joshua Oakes
who lived across the street at 10 Carlton. He went on to have a distinguished career as a privateer
during the War of 1812 and later as shipowner and commander. It is unknown whether
Graves and his family actually lived at 13 Carlton Street (He also owned #11). In 1812 he
purchased and moved to the former Oakes house. 13 Carlton Street remained in the Graves
family until 1856. Among the tenants who lived here were Henry Arrington and Richard
Yarrington, both listed as mariners in the 1837 Directory. The next owner of the house was
William H. Odell, also a mariner, who was still living here in 1897.”
“13 Carlton Street is similar to several vernacular Federal period houses in the Derby Street area.
This dwelling was placed gable end to the street to accommodate a very narrow building lot.
Oriented north, 13 Carlton Street has a 5-bay symmetrically arranged facade with a center entry.
The door trim consists of plain moldings and a simple gabled hood.Other features are the eave
returns, the tall twin stuccoed chimneys, and the placement of the second story windows at the
roof eaves.”
-Several mentions of the Graves in Bentley’s diary, vols. 3 & 4, but nothing of their home.

�He only owned two houses in 1826- both on Carlton Street: #10 and #13. He bought the
land that became #8 in 1818 and sold it in 1820, and in 1822 he sold #11 in 1822, having
purchased it in 1808.
$510 in personal property
-Among the estate’s credits is “S. Roger’s house rent $24”
10 Carlton:
From MACRIS: “The lot on which this house stands was part of a larger parcel owned by widow
Hannah Crowninshield. She was the daughter of Captain Carlton who owned the property where
Carlton Street is now. The area had been known as Bakehouse Field for a bakehouse standing on
Essex Street. In 1803, a few years after Carlton St. was laid out, the widow Crowninshield sold a
house lot comprising present day 10 and 12 Carlton St. to blockmaker Benjamin Felt, Jr. (see 10
Curtis St.) By 1804 the northern half of this lot belonged to shipjoiner Joshua Oakes who had 10
Carlton Street built on the property. Oakes’ trade involved installing the woodwork (panelling,
cabinets) aboard ships. He lived here 3 years, selling the house in 1809. (His next residence was
38 Washington Square South.) A later owner of the property was master-mariner Capt. Samuel
Burrill Graves, who purchased 10 Carlton Street in 1821. Graves had married Joshua Oakes's
sister in 1809 and that same year became commander and part owner (together with Joshua) of
the 158-ton brig Mary Caroline. He was a successful privateer during the War of 1812 and went
on to own other ships during the 1820's.”
11 Carlton:
Samuel B. Graves bought a house on the eastern side of Carleton Street from Caleb Manning on
December 22, 1807: 182:232. It was the adjacent lot to the north. Graves paid $600 for it.
“a dwelling house with the land under and adjoining and situate on the Eastern side of Carlton
Street in said Salem, bounding westerly on said street, Northerly on Murray’s Estate, Easterly on
Meriam, and southerly on said S.B. Graves’ The premises being the same lot I bot of Jona
Becket.”
The property sold to Caleb Burbank, painter & glazier, in 1822 (Deed 230:184):
“a certain lot of land with the dwelling house and all other buildings thereon situated on Carlton
Street in said Salem bounded westerly on that street twenty five feet and one inch, southerly on
Graves other land about sixty five feet and six inches, easterly on land now of late William
Merriam about twenty five feet, and northerly on land of Israel Ward about sixty seven feet and
six inches to the first bounds, reserving a common passage way of ten feet between the two
houses to be kept open for the mutual accommodation of the two estates which passage way is to
extend in easterly from said street thirty eight feet being the same premises I purchased of Caleb
Manning by deed of 16 November 1808 and recorded in Book 184, Page 127.”
MACRIS: “From the deed, it would appear that there were no buildings on the parcel when John
Becket sold it to chair maker Caleb Manning in January of 1804. By the time Manning
mortgaged the portion of the land comprising of 11 Carlton Street in, 1807, this dwelling had
been constructed. The following year the mortgagee, Samuel B. Graves, purchased 11 Carlton
Street for $1,200.”
On 8 Carlton Street:
�225:56, Samuel B. Graves sold to Henry Archer, trader, for $300, “a certain lot of land on
Carlton Street in Salem aforesaid formerly the estate of Philip Kimball deceased and by Abner
Sanger, admr. de bonis non.” The property was conveyed to Graves on November 28, 1818
(218:113). The parcel was bordered: “easterly on Carlton Street, southerly on land formerly of
Joshua Oakes, westerly on land belonging to Peirce’s heirs and northerly on land of Lydia Albree
it being all the land that the said Philip Kimball bought of Joshua Oakes” (Deed 179:200) “and
also what he bought of Edmund Whittemore” (Deed 186:264)
MACRIS: “The land on which this house stands was subdivided from Hanah Crowninshield's
Estate in 1801 about the time when Carlton Street was laid out. This particular lot was first sold
to Edmund Whitemore, a housewright. He in turn sold the property to Joshua Oakes, a shipjoiner
(see 10 Carlton Street) in 1806. That same year, Oakes sold the lot to Philip Kimball, a grocer.
Tax records show that Kimball did not actually move to Ward 1 until 1811 and he appears to be
first taxed for 8 Carlton Street in 1811. Kimball operated his grocery shop out of this house.”
On 8 Becket Street:
MACRIS: “8 Becket Street was standing by 1810 when William Merrian sold to Thomas Ruee,
Jr., a mariner, a certain dwelling house with the land under and adjoining" (Book 1310/Leaf 180)
at this location. In 1817 the property was owned by John.Goodridge (Goodrich) family.”
