The house at 333 Scott Swamp Road (Route 6) in Farmington displays a date of 1757. According to Farmington’s Historic Resource Inventory, the house was built c. 1841. That was the year Adna Crampton (1773-1847), a farmer, sold the house to his son, Richard Crampton (1811-1885). Adna reserved part of the house for himself and for his wife Naomi after his death. After Richard’s death, the house was inherited by his daughters, Eugenia B. Ayer, who married Ezra C. Ayer (1829-1901) in 1874, and Ella J. Crampton. They sold the house in 1894.
