Notes: The Hammond/Avery homestead on Rattlesnake Ledge Rd. in Salem, CT was bought by William Hammond from the estate of Silas Chapman in 1845. William Hammond willed it to his daughter Mary LouiseAvery. After she died the property was sold on March 24, 1892 to Charles Congdon.
In 1989 the property is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cunningham who bought it in 1967. The outside of the home was modernized but the large old fireplace where generations of families cooked the dailymeals remains.
