Bullock, barn designer. Fred's grandson Fred Bullock filled in around the barn on the river side so customers could drive their vehicles in for service. His cousin Jerry (Gerald) kept farm equipment in the other half of the barn.

Town history, p. 83: Calvin Brown, son of Daniel, was born in Waterford in 1810. He married Susan Miles, daughter of Dr. Abner Miles. ... He reared seven children. [Their daughter] Diantha married Lorenzo Freeman and lived on the home place.
