Old Jersey Houses
This property is included in the second volume, which suggests that a previous house on the site was built in 1704 by a privateer named William Snow, who put up the datestone shown above. This house was demolished and another built on or near it by Jean Laurens, in about 1880. Following his death in 1913, his widow, Laura Elizabeth Clement, sold it to G A Romeril, whose widow sold it in turn to Sir Jesse Boot in 1924. It is now called Springland and has been considerably altered.
