Subject: [GM-L] Jacob HATHAWAY (d. 1759) will - Freetown (MA) Landmarks???
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 04:19:38 EST

Hello,

After typing up the will of Jacob HATHAWAY (d. 1759), I thought I'd try to
find some of the landmarks in his will. I live close by. After spending
quite a bit of time with maps and google, etc., I cannot figure out where ANY
of these places are. They may be in Freetown, Fall River (split after his
will), Assonet, East Freetown, etc. Since his will was divided by many
children, the land may not be all together.

If anyone recognizes any of these landmarks, will you please let me know?
Thanks!

Betty, Middleboro
