This is the "'l'(ay the research proceeds; to follow the history the way it happened, begin from the back. The trail is a f\:mgled skein of threads, all of which haven •t been un covered. Because of the incredibl~ division of the house itself amorig four heirs of Jonathan Neal, and the subsequent reselling bv these various heirs of their fractions to, in some cases, several people, it has been almost 1.mpossible to trace ever-J transaction. However the basic facts of the ownership of their father•s land by the brothers Jonathan and David Neal; the dividing of this land; the notation by Gurwen of the buildine of ,Jonathan •s house; and the subsequent d8ath of Jonat'1an and the assienment of his house, (plus the 11 old" house) and land to his many children', are quite clear in the documentation. It is wonderful that this charming gambrel roofed house is now restored by loving owners, and at the advanced age of 206 years graces the corner of Broad and Cambridge Sts. with beauty and dignity. ..:une 1973 Sally Dee Historic Salem Inc. , �•,f' ' - ;. 1· \ (' 4.~ , t'_~ H t;,OO\<. 47 PLA'N ~:...]) OF.
