Note
Notes: Note says Henry Sherburne II built house by 1725 and was married to Dorothy Wentworth, sister of Lt Gov John Wentworth (true). However, Henry lived on Daniel St next to the Warner House on property he bought from the Thomas Daniel heirs in 1712.
Note proceeds to say Nathaniel Kennard lived in the house next and that he served with John Paul Jones (that part true). Kennard lived in a small house on Deer St. between the Wm Rice House and Richard Shortridge House--can be seen on 1813 map.
