A copy of the deed at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, Old Colony Records, Vol. 4, Page 393, shows Jabez Howland sold the house to Elkanah Watson on January 10, 1680. In part the deed reads as follows: “Jabez Howland of Plymouth a “Blacksmith” in consideration of 50 lbs. Current silver money paid by Elkanah Watson a “Blacksmith” to him and his Heirs forever hath sold all the my house and land called by the Name of a garden spot. Be it one-half acre that I bought and purchased of Jacob Mitchell lying and being on the south side of the house and garden of Gyles Rickard senior with all other edifices, buildings and fences that have and are New Made and set upon said Garden spot and also all the my two acres of Upland that was given unto me by my father Mr. John Howland in his last will and lying and being on the west end of the aforesaid garden between the said Town Brook and the lands of said Gyles Rickard senior and exchanged unto me by aforesaid town of Plymouth lying and being between the aforesaid Town Brook and the said Gyles Rickard his land and adjoynes unto the aforesaid Uppland given me by will.” Jabez’ signature was followed by two items: “Elizabeth Howland senior yeieded up her free right also in the house and land above mentioned, Before mee William Bradford Assistant”. “Bethyah Howland wife of Jabez Howland above mentioned gave her free consent to this deed the 15th of January 1630 before mee William Bradford Assistant”. Quoting from “Ancient Landmarks of Plymouth” by the Historian, William T. Davis (1887): “Owned by Jabez Howland before the death of his father and mother, it is fair to presume that its floors have been trodden by those two passengers of the Mayflower, and that its walls have listened to their voices. Let this ancient structure be added to the list of Pilgrim Memorials, and hereafter share with the Rock our veneration and respect.” |
