John Poltrack put up a photo of the Ely house in Bank Village on March 13. This is a house I would have loved to live in instead of the one next to Duval's store. It has a sign on the barn that says 'Riverview'. It must have been on River Rd and based on the terrain, on the right side of River Rd as you drive towards Bank Village. Assuming fewer trees in the 1800s the property near the Drone Services place is a candidate. The property was the summer residence of F.W. Ely who was in the cotton manufacturing business.
The Ely property was bought from the Pritchard family.
I thought Fred Ely was a resident of New Ipswich and lived on River Rd and was part owner of the mill in Highbridge. Maybe it was an ancestor of his that I'm thinking of.
