The late Jeremiah T. Chase, died in the year 1828. He made a will dated in 1824, to which several codicils were added. One of the devises is in these words: “ I will, devise and give to my dear grand-children, my lots on Whetstone Point, Nos. 10, 11 and 12, to them, and their heirs forever, to be equally, divided among them.”
