    The other Protestant manageron getting the farm built a gentleman's residence. When building the house he always said he "was building a home for a wise man" as the faily though large would squander all his hard earned money. He had seven sons and he got farms for five and two became doctors. After building his house he got the better of evicting eight or nine families and grabbing their lands so his farm consisted of about 240 acres of good land.
