Burgess, Somerset, Mass." It has the name of the designer, which I cannot read, and it is dated 1870. My understanding was that Captain Burgess was in command of the clipper David Crockett from 1860 to 1874 when he was swept overboard.

The history is very confusing. I think Philip was listed on the inside plaque at the Bowers cemetery... Because if Philip was Jonathans son, according to the dates on the plaque, he would have been born after Jonathan died.

Struggling to find old photos or more info on the house. I found an old article with pictures of the bones of the house as it was disassembled and looks like a carbon copy of the front half of 23 main street. If you have any information you would be willing to share, I would love that. thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468881380914889026noreply@blogger.com
