Concerning one of the Naubuc farms: "This lot appears to have been originally 40 rods wide, and to have been set out to the Rev. Henry Smith, the first settled minister of Wethersfield and Glastenbury. He willed it to his wife in 1648, desiring her to give it to his son Samuel. Previous to 1668, it had become the property of Samuel Hale. This lot of land, or another precisely like it, belonged to Joseph Parsons, in 1673. At the time of the general survey, in 1684, 8 rods on the north side belonged to Mr. Wyllis, and the remaining 32 rods to Samuel Hale."

From list of Naubuc farms: "CLEMENT CHAPLIN. This lot ... remained the property of Mr. Chaplin's descendants until 1701, and was then owned by Josiah Walcott, of Salem, Mass., unto whom it had descended. The farm being for sale, Mr. Samuel Hale was desirous of purchasing it. Not being willing to undertake so great an enterprise without the advice and concurrence of his minister, he proceeded to consult Mr. [Rev. Timothy] Stevens [presumably Congregationalist] in reference to the proposed purpose. Mr. Stevens deeming it an excellent bargain on the terms offered, advised the purchase, only insisting that he should be permitted to come in with Mr. Hale and take one-third of it. The lot was purchased ..... Mr. Samuel Hale bequeathed this lot of land to his son Samuel, together with another lot lying further south ..... To his son Jonathan he gave the place on which he lived ... together with his wife's portion received from the estate of her father, Capt. Samuel Welles. To his son David he gave a farm lying between the farms of Thomas Hale and Benjamin Talcott. To his son Benjamin, he gave all that lot of land which he bought of the Hon. Gershom Bulkley, and to each of them lands in Wethersfield. He also gave to his daughter Mary Hale, L15 "country pay" and #5 "lawful money;" [L is a substitute for the British pound sign]; and also his daughter Ruth Kimberly, wife of Thomas Kimberly, Esq., the same sum of L15 "country pay" and L5 "lawful money," also to her son Eleazar, "one good cow," and to Thomas and Samuel, also her sons, "two good steers or heifers of two years old," one to each of them. The lot given to Samuel Hale or a portion of it, has remained in the family to the present day, and so has the lot given to Benjamin, and is still bounded south by Mr. Hollister, as it was at the time when the will of Mr. Samuel Hale was made, 1709."
