Importance:Three or Four generations of Kinney's lived in the house before it was sold around 1970.
(Journal - 1978 homeonwer)Another house stood on the foundation, a saltbox built in the 1700's. Apparently the house burned down. David found layers of ash in the dirt in the crawlspace, and large granite stones on the floor in the basement, which look like capstones. When we took down walls wee found that a lot of the framing was used wood.
