Kehew Carpenter And his wife Anna M. Buffum and her sister Lucy E. Buffum Built circa 1866 Researched and compiled by W.H. Demick April 2021 Historic Salem, Inc. 9 North Street, Salem, MA 01970 978.745.0799 | HistoricSalem.org © 2021 �Researcher’s Notes: The date of construction for the structure at 23 Buffum Street has been particularly difficult to pin down. The date included here (c.1866) falls within the period that the property was inherited by the children of Edward S. Buffum Sr. (1863) and later sold to Charles W. Hutchins, master mariner (1866.) Hutchins' deed is the earliest mention of a structure on the property. Earlier records indicate that Edward S. Buffum owned an open lot that corresponds to the boundaries of 23 Buffum Street, beside which was his store and dwelling. However, Salem directories indicate that the property was the dwelling place of Joshua F. Safford (1855) and Mrs. Nancy Conway (1857). The Southern Essex County Registry of Deeds holds no record of either individual owning the property. It is possible that there was a discrepancy in the directories of 1855 – 57. This forces us to rely solely on the conveyances listed in the deeds, and leads to the conclusion that the current structure was built for Edward S. Buffum Sr.’s children after they inherited the property. As there is no indication that the structure was lived in by the Buffum inheritors, it was likely built expressly for sale, with the first inhabitant being Charles W. Hutchins. �Date Recorded Conveyed By Conveyed To Purchase Price 15 May 2003 Alan B. Wall and Jennifer A.

This represents the splitting of the property into 21 1/2 Buffum and 23 Buffum. For grantor's title, reference is made to the 1947 conveyance from Ruth W. Pendergrast to Helen F. Sullivan and Edward J. Curran. 1 June 1977 Naumkeag Trust Company Grace M. Hill and Herbert M. Hill "For consideration paid" 6355:066 $11,000 mortgage 24 October 1957 Helen F.

Curran received property from the will of Mary E. Sullivan, doc # 220575, Probate Court of Essex County. The document in question is behind a paywall. 1 May 1925 Charles V. Broadley Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan "...in consideration of one dollar and other good and valuable consideration to me paid by my Aunt, Mary E. Sullivan..." 264:571 "...one undivided fourth part of the certain lot of land, with the buildings thereon, situated in said Salem.” "In consideration of one dollar and other good and valuable consideration ” 2552:579 14 May 1923 George H. Broadley Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan Document Referenced Notes The final portion of interest is sold to Mary E. Sullivan. "...one undivided fourth part of that certain lot of land with the buildings thereon situated in said Salem.” Mary continues to purchase ownership of the property of her brother, John Broadley, from his inheritors. 18 June 1921 Frank J. Broadley Mary E. (Broadley) Sullivan "For consideration paid" 2485:499 This is the earliest appearance of the land being divided, however there are no measurements of the land division. Document mentions the probate of John Broadley, grantor's father. 11 March 1920 Edith M. Broadley Frank J. Broadley "For consideration paid" 2441:558 "One undivided fourth part of a certain lot of land situated on Buffum Street in said Salem, with the buildings thereon..." This again refers to the probate of John Broadley, grantor's father. Likely the property was split between the inheritors of John �Broadley's estate and this deed represents the compiling of one half of the property under the grantee, Frank J. Broadley. A map of Salem dated 1911 shows two structures on the property, implying John Broadly constructed the rear house now located at 21 1/2 Buffum Street 8 October 1898 Christopher McGrane John Broadley "...one dollar and other valuable consideration s..." 1558:419 "...a certain plot of land situate in said Salem with the buildings thereon” 9 July 1897 Frank E.

Kloffenstein (formerly Hutchings) Ann E. Hutchings Charles W. Hutchings Jr., Waldo L. Hutchings, Frank A. Hutchings, William P. Kloffenstein and Annie E. Kloffenstein Ann E. Hutchings 24 April 1866 Aaron A. Kehew, Anna M Kehew, and Lucy E. Buffum, singlewoman 20 October 1863 12 June 1896 8 February 1896 20 October 1863 Property sold at auction by Frank E. Locke, administrator of the estate of Ann E. Hutchings. Deed conveys "...a certain tract of land situate on Buffum Street in said Salem, with the buildings thereon..." $1.00 1485:138 "...all that parcel of land situated in said Salem” No direct mention of buildings on land, rather "...all that parcel of land situated in said Salem...". This seems to be another consolidation of deeds to the property after the death of a family patriarch, similar to the Broadley deeds being consolidated and sold by Frank Broadley. "...in consider ation of one dollar and other valuable consider ations paid..." 1473:309 "...a certain parcel of land situated in said Salem” Charles W. Hutchins, master mariner $600.00 709:195 Deed conveys "...a certain messuage situate on Buffum Street in said Salem...", implying a dwelling house and possibly outbuildings on the property. This is likely the oldest record of the property with its original shape and size. Anna, her husband Aaron, and Lucy are all described as living in Chelsea, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The 1872 Salem Directory lists Charles W. Hutchings, master mariner, as the owner of the house at 23 Buffum, while his son, Charles W. Hutchings Jr., carpenter, is boarding there Moses F. Rogers, Guardian of George Buffum, Carpenter (described as "an insane person") Anna Maria Kehew (formerly Buffum), Aaron A. Kehew, Lucy Ellen Buffum, singlewoma n $623.00 657: 209 "...one undivided fifth part of the following described parcels of real estate, situate in Salem” Edward S. Buffum Anna Maria Kehew (formerly Buffum), Aaron A. Kehew, Lucy Ellen $623.00 Ann E. Hutchings is mentioned as "widow of Charles W. Hutchings", and that the land was given to the grantors through the will of Charles W. Hutchings Sr. It is possible that the land was conveyed through this deed to Ann after her husband (Charles's) death by his inheritors (their children) to support their mother (Ann). More research would be needed to confirm this. The property of 23 Buffum, along with property that makes up 21 Buffum was sold at auction by the guardian of George Buffum to Anna Maria Kehew (formerly Buffum) and Lucy Ellen Buffum. Given that Edward S. Buffum sold his part ownership of the land for the same amount, the auction seems to be a formality to exchange the property to members of the family. Anna, her husband Aaron, and Lucy all of Chelsea, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. 657:211 "...one undivided fifth part of the following described parcels of real estate situate in Salem in the County of Essex” �Buffum, singlewoma n Fig. A - Hill Plan of Division for 23 Buffum Street 1979 Fig. B - 1911 Salem Atlas, showing the current structures at 23 Buffum.
