Comment
Transcribed by James N Arnold (Vol 25 pp335-339). He described lot as follows: "On the Col Winsor Farnum Farm on the Stillwater road north of pond in back of road lot fenced with wall. Yard badly neglected." Transcribed by Ethel M White May 30, 1939. "Noah Farnum Homestead built 1760 - now called Baker Farm, Farnum Pike, Georgiaville. Opposite old Couny Road Cemetery in the extreme corner of the farm lot - terribly overgrown with wild cherry trees, briers and brush. Not protected." Transcribed and registered by Roger Beaudry March 28, 1998. Lot can be found to the rear of 10 Russell Lane. It is in very poor shape with not one stone standing.
