| Judy Farm and Heald Roads |

This triangle occupies the southern intersection of Heald and
Judy Farm Roads. Can’t see any cellar hole.
“Judah’s father Samuel [brother to our 7GGF Jonathan Wheeler] was a housewright in Acton before coming to this area, as was Samuel’s father [our 8GGF] Abraham. Samuel owned 150 acres in 1714, and in 1755 he deeded 50 acres to Judah. Samuel's house stood very near his son’s, but Judy Farm Road now passes over the cellar hole. “According to tradition, Judah raised chickens. It seems that his wife used to transport the eggs to town on horseback. On one occasion, the horse stumbled and fell, and the eggs were smashed. When she reported the accident to her husband he remarked that it was too bad her head was not smashed instead of the eggs…”1 |
