Can anyone identify the location of the property bought in 1744 by Nathaniel
Green in Worcester from Daniel Willard. Also, at the end there is a
restriction which repeats when he sells the property a few years later. This
is Nathaniel, the peruke maker, and his wife Lucy (Garfield) Green. The
Perch measurement was new to me.
