Court documents from 1849 and 1850 indicate that a portion (20 acres) was sold to cover debts from the estate of Jacob Stoughton (son of John) who was the original administrator of the estate but died in 1841. The estate was now being handled by John Stoughton, presumably Jacob's younger brother. Documents from 1857 - 58 indicate that the rest of the land was sold and the remainder of the estate settled.
