See plat.] "... one certain Tract or Parcel of Land, lying being and adjoining to Mountford's Mill Dam in the County of York commonly called & known by the Name of Tarripin Point." "... the parcel of Land that I bought of Mr Edwd Smith except one Chain and that to be laid off at the end next the Lott that I bought of Francis Moss with all the Improvements on it and in case I should dye before I build upon it, I shall leave all the plank & framing stuff together with the window frames & all the other things designed for the House to my Wife and not to be appraised with my Estate and if my Carpenter is not free that he shall not be appraised but serve his time out and with my said Wife." [Francis Morse owned Lot 75, extreme southwest corner. Therefore, this was probably Lot 74.] * * * * * "unto my son Wm Rogers all my Lotts in Yorktown where I now dwell with all the houses thereunto belonging."
