I will attempt to describe the house as I knew it, for it was my old home. George Jaques had at one time a plan of this estate dated 1637. These facts alone point to its great age and origin. The sills, which were eighteen inches square, and the handmade clapboards were of English oak wrought-iron nails were used in its construction, and it was brick-lined throughout. Sir Robert Temple built a new house on the site of the original Winthrop house.įrom old papers, and the material used in the construction of the ‘Manor House,’ as Temple called it, it is evident that the building was designed and executed in England, brought to this country, and set up. This was about five hundred and four acres, and was in what is now the city of Medford, the remaining or Somerville portion, which I will hereafter describe, containing about two hundred and fifty-one acres, the Lidgett heirs sold to Sir Robert Temple. The Lidgetts and their heirs, among whom were the wife and children of Lieutenant-Governor Usher, of New Hampshire, deeded a portion of it to Sir Isaac Royal in 1731.

On the death of Governor Winthrop, March 26, 1649, the property fell to his son, John, Jr., then governor of Connecticut, by whose executors it was deeded in 1677 to Lieutenant-Colonel Lidgett, afterwards to his wife Elizabeth, she c ceding half to her son Charles in the same year. Probably the original farm contained about seven hundred and fiftyfive acres, or a goodly portion of what is now the city of Somerville and the city of Medford.

This, with the original possession, he called ‘The Ten Hills Farm,’ from the fact that it contained ten hillocks. On October 6, 1631, the General Court granted to Governor Winthrop six hundred acres of land adjoining his estate on the This vessel he named the ‘Blessing of the Bay,’ and the ‘ways’ from which she was launched were until recently in existence near a point where the Edgworth ( Wellington) bridge now stands. The keel was laid oil July 4, 1631, and in October she spread her sails. It is recorded that the first vessel ever built in New England was launched by Winthrop at his summer home on the Mystic. This he used as a summer residence, Charlestown, and later Boston, being his winter home, in which latter place the Green, the governor's town house, included the land owned by the Old South church, Washington street, the house being about opposite to School street. Sometime in 1631, probably in the early spring, Governor Winthrop built a farmhouse on the right bank of the Mystic river, about three miles from the site of the present State House. He landed at Salem June 17, and on June 18 sailed up the Mystic river, stopping at Fort Maverick, Noddle's Island, now East Boston thence he went to Charlestown, where he built a house. Winthrop had the original charter of Massachusetts Bay-Colony, and was vested with the title of ‘Governor.’ This was in 1630, when he was in his forty-third year. On June 12 of that year, there was born in Groton, Suffolk County, Eng., John Winthrop, who, with others, sailed for New England in the bark Arabella. It will be necessary, in writing a history of Ten Hills Farm, Somerville, Mass., to go back to 1588.
