"Another successful farmer was Joseph Stevens. Born in 1763, he had a large enclosed yard and a barn in his Commons home. Stevens even had a sheep pen, so his sheep would not wander far afield. He owned a great deal of land. as well as cattle and horses. Although he was a wealthy man, by contemporary accounts, he and especially his sister Molly, were considered unpleasant neighbors. The cellar hole marked #14 Dogtown Road was assigned to Hannah Stevens. This may be the site of Joseph Stevens' original homestead."
