    After the Barstows left the [Old Barstow] yard, or about 1745, it was improved by Nathaniel Silvester, familiarly known as Builder Silvester. He was born in 1718, and about 1743 built the house afterward occupied by Rufus Farnham, later by Zenas Sturtevant, and now [1889] by John Fisher.

This house was at one time, previous to 1815, a tavern, and kept by Tilden Crocker, or Crooker, who died in Quincy, Nov. 21, 1853, and was buried from Capt. Farnham’s house, Hanover. Barry gives a most complete genealogy of the Sylvester family, so it will be but brietiy referred to here. “Builder Silvester” has four great-grandchildren now [1889] living at South Hanover: Elijah W., a skilled house-carpenter; George F., who has a large greenhouse, and does an extensive business as a florist; Mary T., widow of the late Lebeus Stockbridge , Jr.; and Elizabeth, who resides with her brother, George F.
