Скачать или смотреть Milford Massachusetts- The Search for Duno's Plot

Josiah Ball was the second settler of Milford Massachusetts. Shortly after Josiah and Rachael Ball had lost a nursing infant, Josiah was in Boston doing business. Somehow during this visit, he decided to take a four week old black infant home on horseback. According to the family history, he took the small infant from Boston on horseback, nourishing him out of a nursing bottle at intervals. It was after midnight by the time Josiah reached his home in Milford. His wife was asleep in bed, and not wanting to wake her, he carefully laid the sleeping baby on her bed and left it there to care for his tired horse. Before he returned, little Andrew awoke crying, frightening Rachel half out of her senses. She was utterly surprised by the cries until her husband appeared, opened the window curtains, and explained the situation. All accounts say Andrew grew up a faithful and trustworthy servant and received his freedom and a beautiful white horse at twenty-one. Andrew exchanged the white horse for a slave girl in Marlboro named Rose, whom he married. Josiah gave them a little homestead comprising twelve acres of land and a small dwelling-house in Milford where Andrew and Rose lived a long life and raised a family. This is the search fort Duno's plot.
