In her will written in 1835, Miss Ingersoll leaves all h~r property to Horace L. Conolly, rector of St. Matthews Church in Boston. (Probate #43338) Mr. Conolly is described in the book "Rebellious Puritan" by Lloyd Morris, about the life of Hawthorne: . ·. "With her (Susan Ingersoll) lived a young man named Horace Conolly who was understood to be her nephew, and who ultimately became her heir and aqopted her.name. Conolly's parentage was unknown to Salem, and various rumors were in circulation concerning his relationship to Miss Ingersoll. When Nathaniel first met him, Conolly was rector of St. Matthew's in South Boston; later he resigned from the ministry and turned to the practice of law, gave up the law for medicine and discarded that in turn. He was eccentric, ill-tempered and vain; but he was also intelligent and witty. He was fond of card~ and of liquor; these tastes Nathaniel shared, and he frequented the evening parties which Conolly held in the kitchen of the old Turner Street house." �4 English Street English Street, which was originally called English's lane, was laid out by Philip English over land belonging 'to him and others, about 1697. The lot on which this house stands was part of the land owned by John Swasey as early as 1658. Mr. Swasey's lot seems to include the land from the corner of Essex St. down to what is now #14 English St. Somewhere on this lot Mr. Swa.sey built a dwelling house before 1681. He conveyed the house and lot to his son John Swasey in 1689. This house was gone before 1763 when John's heirs sold the land to John Touzell, goldsmith. During the early 1800's the Ingersolls were taxed for !and only, on English. St. The first mention of a house on Ingersoll's property is in the 1831 tax records when Susan Ingersoll, daughter of Samuel and Susanna (Hathorne) Ingersoll is taxed for the following: part of a wharf and part of a store ~400 house ~;l, 200 hous$ and land $1,600 . 3 houses and 4 acres $2,000 house ~600 house and land Sl,000 The tax records before this time list Miss Ingersoll as the owner of land on Webb and English Streets, and a house, sto:t?e and land on Turner St. (now the House of Seven Gables) It was this same Miss Ingersoll, who provided Nathaniel Hawthorne, Salem's literary genius, with much useful information about Salem in the Puritan times. Hawthorne called her the Duchess and frequently visited her at her home on Turner St. In the list of owners and occupants in Salem 1837 is the following: Sur:;an In~ersoll - house and land with 2 other houses on it occupants: Joseph Gilman and William Harding Daniel Rindge - house on Susan Indersoll's land Judah Dodge - house on Susan Ingersoll's land (these last two houses appear about the same time as the house #d English) I 1838.:..

Mr. Malinowski had the distinction of being the second Polander to come to Salem to.live. The first native of that country to take up his residence in the City of Peace was Joseph Brown, p~oprietor of the flying horse& carousel at the Willows. Mr. Malinowski was born in Austria, Poland 66 years ago next month. He served while a young man in the Austrian Army rising to the rank of lieutenant and acting as drill master for several years. He was a veteran of the Austrian - German War where he rendered distinctive service. About 31 years ago he came to this country with his newly wedded wife and settled for a short time in Webster; Mass. At the ·instigation of his fellow countryman, Mr. Brown, he came to Salem some 29 years ago settling at Juniper and engaging w~th Mr. Brown in the making of these carousels he worked for various concerns at his regular trade. He also conducted for many years flying horse attractions at various summer resorts. A few years ago he sold his house at Juniper and moved up into the city, where he resided on English St. He was a member of the Orientral lodge A.O.U.W. and was in fact, on of the oldest in point of membership in that order. He was also a member of the parish of the Imrnaculate Conception Church. He leaves a widow, Eleanqr (Smreczynski) to whom he was married 8ome 33 years, and four daughters Mrs. Helena V. Twarogowski (the court interpretor), Misses Vanda M, Amelia A. and Frances N. Malinowski. Three of the daughters are well known as teachers in the eveening schools of Salem and Peabody. He was a most excellent citizen and a credit to his native country, and he leaves a large circle of friends to regret his departure. The funeral will be held Tues. at 9 am. at the Immaculate Conception. At 8:30 there will be services at the house. 1 �On May 24, 192·4 Michael J. Murray sold to Bridget M.

From inspections made by Sally Dee and myself, we feel that the foundation indicates that this house must have been moved to this site· and that the construction is of an older dat.e. If indeed this is· the case we also feel that it was moved from within ·the general area of English St., stemming from the fact that the construction is similar to other houses on that street. It is possible that in the .future other documents may be found _that shed mor~ light on thi~ property. Until ~u6h time I recommend that the sign read: moved to this site by. 1831.
