"To preserve Historic Sites, Buildings and ol~jccts, and to work/or the education of the community in the tn1e value of the samett
�53 Essex Street
The land on which this building stands was part of the estate of
Stephen Daniel. His house is better known as the Daniel House.
Stephen Daniel conveyed this estate to his daughter, widow Mary
Silsbee in 1748. The estate then descended to her only surviving
child, Samuel Silsbee. Mr. Silsbee died Dec. 14, 1803, leaving
three children, Samuel; Deborah, wife of Daniel Sage and Sarah,
wife of David 1atten. Mr. ~atten died, and in 1808 Sarah married
Raffield W. Reed.
These three children signed their rights in the estate to their
mother, Martha (Prince) Silsbee, on April 18, 1804. Martha was to
receive all rents and profits from the estate for her life time.
(book 196 page 129) Mrs. Silsbee died Sept. 15, 1817, at the age
of 86. A year after her death the three children divided the
Essex St. property as follows:

�Samuel Silsbee, housewright, died June 7, 1822, leaving to his
wife Rebecca (Read) Silsbee, half of the house on Essex and
Daniels Streets, which half is now occupied by lhilip Manning and
Mr. Savory, together with the land under said half and land
consisting of a garden usually occupied therewith and the buildings
standing thereon (probate #253lq),
The Salem tax record and directory of 1837, 1 isted by street,
states: on the south side of Essex St., Sage owns a lot of land
and barn (Deborah's); Silsbee owns i house (Samuel'~and Sarah
Reed owns ! house. (Since these are the only buildings listed, it
seems #53 Essex St. was not there at this time.)
An indenture between Rebecca Silsbee.and John and Sarah Russell,
was drawn up in March of 1843:
Leased and farm let to John W. and Sarah Russell, all that
messuage and tenement, in Salem, known as house #53 Essex St.
Russell is to pay $200 in advance for rent of house, in case of
decease of Rebecca, before the term, if Russell or wife shall not
be permitted, by the heirs of Rebecca, to occupy till the end of
the term, then the $200 is to be refunded. All repairs and taxes
are to be paid by Russell.

The tax records show, John W. Russell paid the tax on this house
i.n 1844.
Sarah (Hood) Russell was Rebecca's granddaughter. Sarah married
John W. Russell, carpenter, on Nov. 20, 1842. Until this ti~e
John lived at 10 Turner St.
The newly weds moved into 53 Essex St.
in 1843 and made this their home for the rest of their lives.
�On July 19, 1849, Rebecca Silsbee, widow, sold to Sarah Russell
for $1 and other consideration, the land with a two story dwelling
house thereon ( sa,rne description as the lease). The same property
