Sarah M. Davis of Pawcatuck writes interestingly of an old Connec- ticut hoahestead that is connected with tho history of it's early settlentent- tho 6tanton-Davis homestead. She writes: '-The tract of land situated in Pawcatuck. town of Stonington, and known as Osbrook farm. is on the west bank of the picturesque Pawcatuck river, and extends for 8 mile or more in length terminating on the south in Csbrook point, which juts into Little Narragansett bay, opposite Watch HiIl. Osbrook point, with the beau tiful grove growing It's summit. was a funeral place of residence for tribe of rcd men long before their white brothers intruded on tAeir domain. At the north side of the grove a large level space of ground cleared of rocks, as known as the Indian dancing ground and a burial spot near the shore mutely testifies that many of their number found a final resting place there. Neither the origin nor mean ing of the Indian name Osbrook is known, so far as I am aware.
 ''This farm is part of the land once owned by Thomas Stanton, the first white settler on tht river. MT. Stan ton came from London, England. to Virginia, in 1885. The next year he appears on record as a magistrate in Boston, Mass. Just before the Pe- quot war. through which he served with bravery and distinction, he act- cd as interpreter for Governor Win- throp.

| dians, November "A, 1888, of the land where that city now stands.
 Tn 1649, MT. Stanton received from the general court of Connecticut a grant of six acres of land on the Paw catuck river where he established a trading post and carried on an exten- sive trade in furs with the Indians. Later on he sent out vessels to trade in the West Indies. It was during his trips as interpreter among the Mar ragansett Indians that he first saw the fertile Pawcatuck valley and selected It for his future home. In 1852 he re- oeived an additional grant of 300 acres. adjoining the first grant of six acres. He afterwards acquired by purchase of the chief, Cassawishett, the whole of Pawcatuck neck and some small islands near it known as The Hom- mocks.
 Tn 1857 he built a permanent home near his trading post, where he was joined by his family, who had re- sided in Pequot (New London) since 1851. All of Mir. Stanton's six sons inherited their fathers ability to sEkak the Indian dialects and were in much demand as interpreters.
 "On the north part of Osbrook farm is large two-story dwelling. which. in an old manuscript pertaining to the Stanton family, is called an elegant mansion house. This is the house built by Thomas Stanton. the pioneer, in which he removed his family from New London in 1857. It is construct ed throughout with hand wrought nails ana spikes. The interior is finely finished for the time in which it was built. with paneled wainscoting cor nices and fluted work. The staircase is of mahogany, hand carved, and im- ported from England.
