I had some trouble determining which Backus is the S. Backus on the map. I think the following excerpt clears up my confusion.

HISTORY OF NORWICH, by Caulkins, 1866, pg. 159: The rights & privileges of William Backus, Sr., were transferred so soon after the settlement to his son Stephen, that the latter is accounted the original proprietor. The house-lot was entered in his name, as to a 1st purchaser. It lay upon the pent highway by the Yantic, between the Town Green and the allotment of Thomas Bliss.
