Notes

This estate was owned by Ann Launce Hill from at least 1817 to 1826 but by 1829 the enslaved people had been transferred to Hermitage estate, also in Portland and also owned by Ann Launce Hill. It's not clear if the land was sold, left uncultivated or if the two parcels of land were amalgamated into one.
