| | Notes: | The following extract is taken from "A Century of Meriden," published in 1go6: . "The first of the· Cowles family to live in Meriden was Joseph who came from Farmington and married Abigail, daughter of, Samuel Royce on July 13, 1699. His father-in-law gave him .!l farm jiist south of Atcher• comer in South Farms district, and in the year 1701, 107 acres up the bill on the old highway down which we fancy the good parson (Hall) d~- ing after stopping, perhaps, to chat with some of the Cowles family, who were always prominent in church matters. It is difficult to believe that ·on the summit of this hill, called Ox Hill, there .was once a colony of Cowlaes and also Rices, for as far as the writer can discover, there is not ·the least remnant of the depression of a cellar to mark the site of a house · anywhere in the vicinity, but there is no doubt that here they lived forr several generations."
