Christopher Babbidgo House, 46½ Essex Street
Although almost half of this house was cut away & removed,
and although its exterior r e sembles nothing so much as a
mid-eighteenth century Georg ian mansion house, yet there
is a possibility that this is one of Salem 1 s few remaining
seventeenth-century houses.
A brief history of the house was written by the historian
Sidney Perley, in his History of Salem (vol. II, pps. 309-10),
as follows (with my own notes interspersed):
"This lot was probably granted to Christopher Babbidge before
1683, when he owned it, having erected a house, in which he
lived. This house was one of the best in the neighborhood,
and the staircase is still in use in that section of the house
which remains upon the original site. 11 Perley provide s an
illustration of the newel post & balustrades of the staircase;
unfortunately, they are no longer in the house. "Mr Babbidge
died about 1711, and his son Christopher succeeded him on the
place." Son Christopher was a cordwainer (shoe-maker). 11 In
1717, the building committee of the East or Second Church
met here & considered the plans of its· first meeting house,
which was built on the opposite side of the street 11 on the
western corner of Essex & Ha rdy Streets. "Mr Babbidge died
in 1755, and the adminstratrix of his estate conveyed the
land and buildings to Richard Derby, the merchant, Nov. 8,
1757" by deed 105:16. Mr Babbidg e's daughter M
ehitable administered his estate, which was worth about 268 li; his
homeste ad, 11 House & Barn & about 60 poles of Land", was appraised at 153.6.8 (probate docket #1155).
~
Richard Derby, one of the great merchants of his day, evi- .
dently presente d this house to his daughter Mary when she
married Capt Ceor ge Crowninshield about 1764; either Mr Derby
or Capt & M Crowninshield completely remodelled the house
rs
to its pres ent Georg ian appearance. 11 Mr Derby died in 1783,
having devised to his daughter Mary Crowninshield this 'House
in which she lately dwelt now occupied by Joseph Noses' 11 who
was a sa.ilmaker. "Mrs Crowninshield conveyed the estate to
James Cheever, a merchant, Aug. 24, 1799 11 by de,ed 165:180,
for $3500.
"Mr Che ever died Sept 23 1839; and his children conveyed the
buildings and land to Phineas R Weston on June 1, 1840 11 for
$2,075, with a store thereon, by deed 320:14. "In 1859, Mr
Weston cut off the e astern end of the house and moved it to
Grant Street, where it still stands." Grant Street is now
Kosciusko Street, n e ar Derby W
harf; evidently this other half
�of the house was demolished within the past ten years. "Mr
Weston's family conveyed the remainder of the house and the
land to Charles Bowker on July 21 , 1885, and Mr Bowker lived
there until his decease. 11
Mr Bowkers heirs conveyed the property for $7500 to Ezma Abdo
of Salem (along with another piece of real estate) on 1 Sept
1914, soon after the Salem fire ( 2276:322 ). with hundreds
of people homeless in Salem, Mr Abdo moved the old Babbidge
house to the back yard, and built the present brick tenement
at the stree t-front. He sold the property 29 Nov 1918 to
Nicolai S Jensen of W
orcester (2402:174); on 1 May 1922 Mr
Jensen sold the premises to Esther Tarlow of Salem (2512:153).
Mrs Tarlow owned the property for 23 years, selling it to
Margaret Solovicos of ~alem on 19 July 1945 (3417: 597); on
28 Oct 1946 she gr anted it to The Solovicos Trust of Salem
(3519:573). The Solovicos family sold it to the M
aguires
in 1975 (61 88:766), and t he Messrs Maguire sold it 6 Jan 1976
to the trustees of Hibbard Realty Trust of M
arblehead, the
present owners (6212:346).
This is just a preliminary history of this property, and
draws no definite conclusions about the age of the h ouse.
Certainly, the remaining orig inal oak chamfered beams tend
to indicate a building date or 1715 or before--and it seems
that Christopher Babbidge built a house here by 1664. In a
case such as this, where there is· very little documentary
evidence relating to the house before the 1750s, the construction methods & evidence are c rucial to assigning a
date to the building. I would suggest calling in an expert
on 17th-century construction from the Society for the Preservation of New England Ant iquities.
Robert Booth

•
Note : Dr Abbot L Cummings, executive director of the Society for the
Preservation of N ew England Antiquities, has inspected this house, and
believes that a dating of ca. 1715 is appropriate.
Robert Booth, 13 Aug 1977
�CHRISTOPHER BABBIDGE
Christopher Babbidge (1640?-1711?), a tailor, was the son
of Roger and Hester Babbidge of Totness, Devonshire , England,
where he was apprenticed to George Marks, tailor ; about 1660
he married Agnes Triggs of Totness, and in 1661 they came to
America in the ship Nathaniel ; they settled in Salem that
same year , when their first child, Ruth, was born .
Mr Babbidge was listed as one who owned a Salem cottage or
dwelling plac e in or before 1661; the location of this house
is not k.novm. On 24 Feb 1662 the town of Salem recorded the
sale of house-lots along the northern side of what is now
lower Essex Street; one of the purchasers was "M Babbidge"-r
Christopher Babbidge . On 24 July 1664 Joseph Porter was
granted a house-lot "next adjoining Lt George Gardner's
spot of land in the common near Xtopher Babbidge his house ••• "
and on the same date it was "voted to Anthony Ashby also a
lot of the same quantity with the range (of lots ) where
Goodman Bavedg (sic) lives, paying for it as others did . 11
From these two items , it is clear that by 1664 Christopher
Babbidge was living in a house on the lot he ' d been granted
in 1662--the sar.ie lot that this house stands on today .
By 3 May 1665 :Mr Babbidge had been made a freeman, and in
the next year he served as a grandjuryman--a position
generally held by the t o\<m ' s leading citizens . He would
go on to serve in the same capacity in 1670, 1675- 6, 1678-9,
and 1681-4. he served as a Salem constable in 1673 and many
times after , and held many other tmm offices . By the time
of the witch trials, he owned a shop ; it was in Mr Babbidge's
shop that John Proctor was accused of practicing witchcraft .

74 Essex Street
This house was built for Samuel Very 3d, Salem block-maker, in 1810.
In 17 57 this land, with a dwelling house thereon, was sold to Salem
spinsters Elizabeth & Anna Philpott, sisters { 114: 155, 156). They
owned it for more than 50 years, Elizabeth surviving Anna until
sometime before 16 Mar 1810, when the administrator of her estate
for $840 solo. to Samuel Very 3d, Salem block-maker, "a lot of land
in Salem with a dwelling house thereon ... being the same messuage
whereof (Elizabeth Philpott) died seized" ( 190: 299).
Samuel Very 3d (1785-181!3), the son of Capt Samuel and Abigail
(Crowninshield) Very, had married Alice Palmer on 4 Dec 1804.
He was a trader and block-maker, in which trade he made the
blocks through which the lines of sailing vessels were led; he
maintained a shop on Derby Street for this purpose. In addition,
he made use of his deceased uncle Clifford Crowninshield's land
·& wharf off Derby Street. In 1810 he paid taxes on the Crowninshield
property (worth $1800) .and on part of a house & a shop (worth $700);
these taxes reflected his estate as of early 1810. Soon after buying
this land in March 1810, he caused this house to be built thereon;
in the tax valuation of 1811 he was assessed for "a house in Essex
St and a shop in Derby St" worth a total of $1700, as well as for the
$1800 Crowninshield property, The jump in assessment ($700 in 1810
to $1700 in 1811) reflects the presence of this new house.
On 19 Ap 1811 Mr Very, then styled a Salem trader, for $500 mortgaged
to Salem widow Susanna Ingersoll "a certain lot of land situated on the
northerly side of Essex Street ... together with a new three story
dwelling house and all other buildings thereon•• ( 193:64). Mrs. Ingersoll
died that winter, and Mr Very failed to redeem the mortgage. On 30
May 1812 Mr Very, having fallen into debt, was obliged to sell his
right in equity to redeem the mortgage at public auction, at which for
a high bid of $835 Mrs Sarah Johnson of Marblehead bought the same
(197:25); on 1 June 1812 Mrs Johnson bought of the administrator of
Mrs Hathorne 1 s estate, for $533. 33, all her right to the premises
(197:24). The house & land thus came into the ownership of Sarah,
wife of Capt Benoice Johnson, Marblehead mariner & merchant,
M.l's Johnson owned it for more than 30 years, evidently renting it out
or most of that time; she died on 8 Sept 1846, at which time the
house & land (valued at $1725) descended to her two heirs, the children
of h;r daughter, Mrs Harriet S Cabot and John C Dodge (#43775). On
30 Sept 1847 Mr Dodge for $862. 50 granted his right in the place to the
trustee of Mrs Cabot (388: lZ 1). Then on 15 July 1850, for a total of
$1500 the estate was bought by George A Nichols of Salem from Mrs
Cabot and from her trustee ( 431: 199,208).
i"ii
�George Andrew Nichols died on 17 Aug 1851; a Salem cooper, he owne,d
the houses at 72 & 74 Essex St at the time of his decease (#48190). It t
is not clear as to how the property was disposed of, but it soon came
into the possession of Sarah (Nichols). the wife of Joseph Augustus
Danforth. Mrs Danforth may have been a sister to the deceased.
She owned the premi~es for nearly twenty years, selling for $2900
on 20 Oct 1870 to widow Rebecca Whiley of Salem (808:285). Mrs
Whiley (or Wiley) died on 8 Jan 1879, at which time the homestead (worth
$2400) descended to her two daughters, Mrs Sabra C Morse and Mrs
Abigail W Moulton (#57187). T~ey owned it until the death of Mrs Morse
on 18 July 1905, at which time her right to the premises descended to
her daughter Mrs Rebecca F Davis of Salem (#97083). On 11 June 1906
Mrs Davis and her aunt Mrs Moulton granted the estate to Simon Naczor
of Salem (1827:4_ 1). Mr Naczor owned it a very short time, selling on
6
7 July 1906 to Mrs Sarah A Fay (1829:376). Mrs Fay owned it until
12 Sept 1914 when she sold to Sarah F Dore of Salem (2274:361). Sarah
Dore was deceased by 7 July 1921 when her heir & administratrix sold
the estate to Mrs Lena M Abernathy of Salem (2486:375, 376).
Mrs Abernathy owned the premises for more than 25 years, selling
on 12 Nov 194·6 to Mr &· Mrs Louis J Pelletier (3515:195). On 15 Ap
1954 Mr &: Mrs Pelletier granted the place to Mary L Higgins of
Peabody (4060: 194), and she immediately re conveyed to Mrs Pelletier
(4060:195). On 28 Oct 1955 Mrs .Rose A Pelletier granted the estate
to Mr &: Mrs John D 0 1 Connel\ of Salem (4221 :490).
Thirteen years later, on 11 Sept 1968, Mr &: Mrs O'Connell sold the
house and land to the present owners, Mr &: Mrs Richard D Anderson
of Salem ( 5 5 5 7: 101).

Note : The death of Samuel Very 3d, for whom this house was built in
1810, was reported in th~ Salem Gazette, issue of 27 April 1813;
he was only 28 years· old. He and his wife Alice evidently had no
children. Mr Very was called a block-maker in 1810 and a trader
in 1811 and 1812.
A figure such as ( 12:34) refers to deed book 1_2, page or leaf 34 at the
Southern Essex County Registry of Deeds; a figure such as (#1234) refers
to probate docket 1234 at Southern Essex County Probate.

76 & 78 Essex Street
This house was built by Joseph Danforth, Salem housewright, in 1832.
In 1700 this land w as in the Cheever family of Salem; on 7 Mar 1727 /8
widow Mary Che ~ver sold a part of it with "a small old house" thereon
for 85 li to her son James Cheever, Salem turner (46:167). Towards the
end of the 18th century it ·w as owned by Capt Timothy Wellman; in the
partition of his estate in 1818, his son George received the $800
"Wyatt lot, 11 so-called, bounded southerly 54 1 on Essex St, westerly
on Frye & Mansfield 155 1 , northerly 45' on "Washington Square or
Bath Street, 11 and easterly on Sarah Johnson 160 1 ; the southerly
half of this piece is the present house lot (217:230). Five years later
30 June 1823 George Wellman, Salem mariner, for $600 sold the
whole piece to William Silsbee, Salem merchant, who lived across
the street (232: 176). On 26 Ap 1831 Mr Silsbee for $582. 50 granted
the tract to Joseph Danforth, Salem housewright (267:60).
Joseph Danforth (1782-1840) was born in Newbury, but moved to Salem
by 16 Oct 1810, when he married, here, Phebe Kimball of Bradford.
They had seven children, all sons, between 1811-33, and all but one
of these boys survived to adulthood. Mrs Phebe D died 11 Oct 1835,
whereupon Mr Danforth married, secondly, 12 Jan 1836 Mrs Mary
Russell, with whom he apparently did not reside. He died 26 Jan 1840,
in his 58th year.
He probably built the house by late 1832, for on 22 Jan 1833 Mr Danforth
for $300 mortgaged to widow Mercy Upton of Salem the land "with a
dwelling house and outbuildings standing thereon" (273:156). The 1833
Salem tax valuation shows the value of his property next to Joseph's
name in ward 2; the notation "lot land, $500" is crossed out, with
"house, $3000" substituted in its place, although he was not taxed on
the value of the new house until the 1834 valuation. On 4 Ap 1834 Mr
Danforth was given a $950 second mortgage loan from Mrs Upton; it
was discharged ten years later (271:225).
Joseph Danforth died 26 Jan 1840, at which time his estate (including
"a two story dwelling house 76 & 78 Essex St, $3200) descended to his
six sons (#7143). Four years later., 2 May 1844, two of the brothers,
George F and Joseph A, released their rights in the premises for $1066
to brother John K Danforth, Salem tailor (344: 147,147). John K thus
came to own an undivided half of the premises. He successfully
petitioned to have the property partitioned, and on 28 Mar 1845 the
court set off to him the western half of the house and grounds, being
#78 Essex Street (354:261). John K Danforth owned this property at
his death on 11 June 1863, at which time it (worth $2000) descended
to his three minor children, with widow Cornelia's dower right therein
(#36924). On 29 Ap 1865 Mrs Danforth and her three sons sold #78
to Sarah Baxter Endicott, wife of Charles Endicott, of Salem, for a
total of $1935. 95 (682:252, 252,253).
�Meanwhile, back at the eastern half of the house, #76 Essex Street:
on 21 Mar 1848 Samuel G Danforth sold his one-third interest therein
to his brother William H (395:49). William then mortgaged his 2/3
right on 7 June 1855 to brother John K (514:35). On 15 Mar 1858 John K
foreclosed the mortgage and took possession of the premises (567:49).
He sold this 2/3 share on 1 July 1859 to the owner of the remaining f /3,
youngest brother Edward F Danforth (589:292). On 16 Dec 1858
William H had lost his right in equity to redeem the mortgage to his
brother Samuel G (584:52), and on 2 July 1859 Samuel G sold the equity
to Edward F (589:291). Thus Edw ard F Danforth came to possess the
eas t ern h a lf, which he mortgaged 5 Feb 1863 to brother S a muel G
(647:211) . This mortgage was not redeemed, and on 4 Ap 1866 Samuel
sold #76 out of the family to Benjamin S Newhall of Salem (702:68) .
Nine years later, 22 June 1875, Mr Newhall bought the western half,
#78, from Mrs Endicott (930:267). And so Mr Newhall came to own
both halves of the double house.
Benjamin S Newhall died on 3 Ap 1886, willing the premises to his wife
Caroline M for life (#63363). Mrs Newhall was deceased by 16 Ap 1901,
when the Newhall heirs granted 76 &t 78 Essex St to John H Holt of Salem
(1640:3). Fourteen years later, 31 Aug 1915, Mr Holt conveyed to Mrs
Katherine M Rushford of Salem (2505:589) . On 20 Oct 1916 she conv eyed
to Harry E Jackson of Danvers (2344:499). On 22 Dec 1916 Mr Jackson
conveyed to Mrs E Isabel R ·shford of Danvers (2354:51) .
Mrs Rushford sold the premises on 26 July 1921 to Charles Aronson of
Salem (2489:384). Two years later, 25 July 1923, Mr Aronson conveyed
to Mr &t Mrs Delbert R Jones as joint tenants (2562: 100). Nearly twenty
years later, 25 July 1942, Mrs Margaret A Jones (Mr Jones having died)
conveyed to Mary f Evans of Salem (3308: 177) and she immediately reconveyed to Mrs Jones, catherine M Tracey, and Mary D Buckley a s
joint tenants (3308:178). On 30 Jan 1957, Mrs Jones being deceased,
C. M. Tracey and M. D. Buckley conveyed to Mr &t Mrs Richard C
Copeland of Salem (4779: 189).
On 12 June 1961 Mr &t Mrs Copeland granted the double house to the
present owners, Mr &t Mrs Richard D Anderson of Salem (4779: 189).

�Notes:
In the first Salem Directory, printed in 1837 but bas ed on facts as of 1836,
Joseph Danforth was listed as a "ship-joiner" with a place of business at
15 Neptune Street and a house at 15 Carlton Street, The Carlton Street
house was the family residence, and after Mr Danforth's death his eldest
son_ (and probably other sons) lived here; by 1846 his two eldest sons
Joseph and John lived at 15 Carlton Street. John continued to live
there until 1854, when he moved into 78 Essex Street, where he and
his family lived until his death. None of the other Danforth brothers
ever lived at 76-78 Essex Street, according to the records.
This house bears a striking resemblance to the double house at
55-57 Federal Street, which was built in 1836. It seems likely that
Joseph Danforth was the builder of the Federal Street house as well.
A figure such as (12:34) refers to Southern Essex County deed book 12,
page or leaf 34. A figure such as (#1234) refers to Southern Essex County
Probate docket # 1234.
