Arthur Bradley conveyed a strip of land to Linus Plimpton

1. It’s hard to follow the legal description of the conveyed land because it starts from “a point in the dividing line between the properties of the grantor and grantee on Asylum Street, where the old line of said Asylum Street intersects the said dividing line, sixty three and one tenth (63 1/10) feet distant from the present dividing line of Asylum Street”. Not being exactly sure where the old line of Asylum “Street” was, it’s impossible to know where this line starts.
2. However, the next part of the legal description gives a clue: “running thence Southerly in said dividing line one hundred and thirteen and six tenths (113 6/10) feet, to a job in said dividing line, thence running Easterly in said dividing line one (1) foot”.  There is a crook in the eastern border of the property at 847 Asylum Avenue, which starts about 57’ from the curb, and then runs 113.1’ to a 2’ easterly jog in the boundary.
3. Since the current boundary runs very close to the eastern extent of the house, it’s possible that this conveyance ensured that all of Linus Plimpton’s house was on his property.

Arthur Bradley married Julia Plimpton on November 12, 1884.

On July 21, 1932, Arthur Bradley and his wife and sisters-in-law will execute an agreement to more definitively establish the boundary between 841 and 847 Asylum Avenue.

1. Arthur Bradley was Linus Plimpton’s son-in-law.
2. Frederick Plimpton was Linus Plimpton’s brother.
3. Harry Wood was Linus Plimpton’s nephew.
