Nineteen years later, in 1788, as shown in Book 71, Page 265, he sold to “Mathew Porter of Plympton for 30 pounds whole of my land and buildings at South Pond ... saving the small part I sold Henry Richmond.” Mathew Porter sold the land the next year to Samuel Rickard of Plymouth, yeoman, along with 32 acres in the fifth share in the 6th great lot he had bought from William Thomas and Benjamin Bramhall. Porter goes on to say that the cut wood and grain in the ground “to be free for me until January next, also liberty for one Levi Hoit to remove his said house from said land if he moves it between this and the first day of January next,” Sept. 7, 1789. Hoyt’s Pond is on present day maps. On September 26, 1791, Samuel and Priscilla Rickard sold for thirty pounds to Luke Hall, laborer, land purchased of Mathew Porter in 1789, containing about 69 acres, plus the other 24 acres. On June 8, 1792, Book 78, Page 94, the land is sold to William Hall Jackson, “trader,” 24 acres and 69 acres “in the easterly side of the southerly arm of South Pond, Gunner’s Exchange and Finney’s Meadow” for 24 pounds, two shillings to be paid by June 1, 1794. CHAPTER VIII. SAMUEL WRIGHT AND THE WRIGHT FAMILY [11] In the years 1723 to the 1790’s there are recorded for the Plymouth area some twenty-seven grants of land to the name Samuel Wright, in three generations. The land includes uplands, swamps, woodland and meadow, much of it in Plympton. In 1784, 45-274 Samuel Wright bought from William Raymond, both of New Stamford, Vermont, forty-three acres at Bloody Pond in Plymouth. In 1794, Samuel Wright bought property in the Boot Pond area. 88-222 shows that for thirteen shillings he purchased one-sixth part of one-half of the second share of the fifth great lot from the estate of Benjamin Wright, laid out to Benoni Lucas, whose daughter married John Wright, 1688-1744. The second share includes land on either side of the upper half of Boot Pond. In 1796, 84-184, Samuel Wright bought five-tenths part of one-half of the second share of the fifth great lot for twenty-five dollars. This land adjoined the land he bought the year before from Benjamin Wright’s estate. This land was bought from several children of John Wright, his heirs. The amount would be about eighteen acres. Samuel Wright, in 1800, as shown in 88-241, during the time of his ownership of the homestead, sold to Nathaniel Carver, who served in the Revolution, for thirty-five dollars, land on the westerly side of Boot Pond which is land in the second share of the fifth great lot which he had bought some years before. Another member of the Wright family who lived in the vicinity was Joshua Wright, born 1758, son of Joseph Wright, born 1721, who in turn is the son of Isaac Wright, son of Adam Wright, 1645-1724.
