Martin sold it to a Richard Quiney (claim to fame: his brother married Shakespeare's daughter, Judith) in 1635 and Quiney sold it to Nathaniel Harrison in 1720. Nathaniel was brother to Benjamin Harrison III, who was ancestor to the Harrison presidents. The property remained with the Harrisons until 1926, when it was sold to Pennsylvania banker, Robert W.
