Key date analysis:
Jeffrey Standley purchased this property in 1835. The 1852 tax record, shows Jeffrey Standley with a house and 16 acres. The 1838 District #2 tax assessment list entry for Jeffery Stanley shows he owned $40 in real estate and $0 in personal property. So he probably did not own a house at that time. He is not listed as the head of a household in the 1840 Census, but he is listed in the 1850 Census.
Who built it:
Jeffrey Standley likely built the house between 1840 and 1850.
Longest Residents:
Jeffrey Standley 50 years. The Hubbard family has owned the property for 61 years.
More Research:
Jeffrey Standley purchased 3 1/2 acres in 1835, and added another 4 1/4 in 1872. However, he is listed with 16 acres in 1852, and 20 acres in 1885. So he evidently purchased or inherited about 12 or 13 acres between 1835 and 1852. Dendrochronology could establish the exact construction date of the house.
