We come now to the Fair Haven East sec- tion. The location of the houses on the road which leads from East Haven north toward North Haven was, first, the Pardee house of the Revolution, plundered of it's silver by the British under Tryon, July 4-5, 1779, and now owned by William B. Goodyear, Esq. Then came old Jacob Mallory's house on the site of Townsend Bros ship yard property. Amos Browns was few rods up the hill on the street that runs up the hill from Capt. Moulthrop's above Kimberly's blacksmith shop Then came the Mallory house where Hemingways corner store is. All these were on the west side of the road and south of the bridge except the Brown house on the hill. Toward the bridge, south side was shoemaker's shop. On the north corner, and where the store of MT. Lucius Rowe is, was the Hotchkiss tavern, and this property, from the street towards the bridge to Iow-water mark into the river, was owned as decided by the court, and be- longed to Horace R. and Samuel Hotchkiss, while the same distance to low-water mark in the river, south side, belonged to Wyllys and Willett Hemingway, Harry and Levi l Rowe. These parties occupied the flats to | low-water mark with their buildings, now | standing.
 In the next house north of the Hotchkiss tavern and west side of the street, Annoni Mallory lived. Then came Will Bradley's, north of Browns brook On the south cor ner of the road that leads northeast to Mat l thew Rowes, the Russell farm, lived Captain Isaac Brown, and on the north corner Ezra Rowe. Opposite on the west side was Levi 1 Rowe and John Rowe, where MT. Barney Rowe now lives then came James Mallory, | father of Captain Jerard Mallory, and on l northward half a mile on the Davenport 1 farm was the (red) GoodseI house and the | two Davenport houses, one of which, the | residence of the late David Bradley, is now I l.
 | tain lived Enos Hemingway, father of the late Judge Willet and Colonel Wyllys (twins) I Hemingway.
 Capt. Futile says the first cargo of oysters l brought from Virginia to Fair Haven was in 1 the schooner fJohn,'' Capt. Elophus Gillet,
 his uncle. They were taken from the Nancy Mum bed in James river, and were laid down above and below the bridge on the flats, east side. The Quinnipiac and 1 Newark rivers were sixty years ago the only place north of the Cape of | Virginia where oysters grew naturally. The first cargo of oysters planted in Morris Cove 1 was brought to New Haven in the schooner i seMary and Martha" Captain Abijah MouI- | throp Munson, of Fair Haven East), in the | year 1884. The schooner was of 83 tons 1 burthen and built on the east shore of Mary land and was owned by William K Town send, Daniel Smith and others. This cargo of I6OO bushels of fishing oysters arrived in | April. 1884, and was laid down opposite the Morfis wharf for fall use. The schooner during the summer ran to Philadelphia with a general cargo and freighted home coal in Jumps at seventy-five cents per ton. Af- ter several years service in this vessel Fair Haven parties built at Port Griswold ship yard, site of the Forbes block, junction of Water and Bridge streets, the schooner Smith Futile, and she was launched across the street in the summer of 1889. The writer, to whom Captain Futile related the above, will be hap py to receive any corrections as it was writ ten hastily while on the railway, and may possibly contain some imperfections.
