    You left off 491 Quaker Farms Rd….built in 1725 by Jonathan Griffin – his son, John Griffin was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary war and hw was the first white child to be born in Quaker Farms….Later it was owned by the Tomlinson family.

    Carol,

    I haven’t taken a picture of that house yet, but the next time I go to gather material in Oxford I’ll keep it in mind!
