[Initial purchase was 133 acres, in 1832 Jesse was taxed for 79 acres which included adjacent small Brogan farm that he purchased in 1822 that was sold to his daughter Mrs. Brogan in about 1840 by her sisters, and where the tavern wasn't because it was built in 1818. (Map shows tavern next to Mrs. Brogan.) So Jesse must have done considerable selling and buying of his land over the years.]
