The owner believes it to be around 1750. There is a problem in trying to determine the exact location of the "old houses" mentioned in the deeds, when they disappear and when the present houses first appear. The documentation is very confusing. Other problems in this case are: The house is not on the tax rolls in 1831 There are three John Battens in Ward 1, making tax records difficult to follow. A tenant could pay the taxes, but unless you know the tenants name there is no way to follow the tax list. There are 4 houses on Battons land in 1851. was it moved? No permit to move was found.
