House history

Description

Built by Robert Hill, boatbuilder, in 1812. The land originally contained a house built in 1688 by Mary and Thomas Mascoll on land given them by the original poprietor (Mary's father), mariner Joseph Swasey. This house was eventually divided in two and the easterly half was sold in 1798 to widow Martha Rice, who tore it down to build her new dwelling still standing at 30 English Street. Martha Rice sold a section of her land to Robert Hill in 1812, on which he built a house for his family.

Not sure if I'm using this site correctly.  Joseph Swasey was my grandfather 11 times removed.  I am searching for information on my family.
