1826 deed: To Ben Chase, Timothy Flanders and Stephen Morse (264/47) woodland bounded by Benjamin Chase and others, Samuel Chase land and Phineas Nichols (3 3/4 acre) Brings the families of Flanders, Morse, and Chase together. Somehow this deed is also related to McQueston and Colby (hard to read) This is Daniel McQuesten acting as the legal guardian to Ephraim Colby, a person “given to excessive drinking and idleness”, selling land owned by Colby to Chase, Flanders, and Morse to pay EC’s debts. Property free of encumbrances except for the widow Hannah Colby’s right of dower and the right of Lydia Colby, wife of EC. (16 dollars paid)
In a deed (202/117) dated Sept 22, the directors of the bridge corporation (Baily Bartlett, James Duncan, David Howe, Daniel Appleton, and John Hazeltine Jr.) established an Indenture of Agreement with Mary and Moses Brown. This was to build a stone abutment (under Toll House) and a stone wall on the Haverhill shore side. Also for Mary and Moses to keep an unpaired apartment in the Toll House for $1.00/year. ( This is the Haverhill/Bradford Bridge I think )

David Jr. became ill, recovered in 1801 but died in 1805.
1803 recorded deed 171/248: Disposition of David Sr. accounts paid by Joseph by Simeon Sr. his son. Joseph is David’s brother and Simeon’s Uncle. David owed Simeon and his wife money for work done. Land at the southwardly end of his lot was given in exchange. But since this was David Sr., I don’t think it is Colby’s lane.
David, who outlived his son, Simeon Sr. , made a nuncupative, or oral will. According to Essex County Probate Records his wife’s father, Stephen Baily, was appointed guardian of the heirs of Amos, Simeon, and William, children of his son Simeon, Jr. The court ordered the real estate in Newbury sold to David Baily (This could have been Simeon’s land in West Newbury). It looks like Benjamin Chase (Simeon Jr.’s Uncle) owned this land after David Jr.’s death.(7)
