No one's really certain when the house was built, but the property has been farmland for some time. I've managed to trace it back to 1846. I am working on deciphering the older deeds to find who owned it before the 1846 deed. It's difficult because they're all handwritten, and the writing style changes through time. As I get them figured out, I will post the whole of each deed. In the notes, "vol." refers to the number of the book in the Hall of Records in Flemington, and "p." refers to the page number where the deed can be found. Here's the roll call of current and previous owners:
Currently, my father and his brother own the farmhouse, since about 1990. Previous to their ownership, my grandmother owned it. She inherited the property in 1979. The previous owner, Josephine Borsa, named her as the executrix of Mrs. Borsa's will. Josephine died in 1978, and in 1979, my grandmother and her husband, William Norr, were named in the deed. My grandfather died in 1988, leaving the property to his wife. (Vol. 845, p. 495)
August 5, 1935. From: Daniel and Lillian Marsh; To: Anthony and Josephine Borsa. (Vol. 403, p. 437)
March 29, 1853. From: Peter (S.? J.? D.?) Dalrymple; To: Daniel Marsh (Vol. 104, p. 608)
1847. From: George Heici (I'm REALLY not sure about his last name); To: Peter Dalrymple (Vol. 88, p. 442)
May 14, 1846. From: Joseph Case and Wife (Katurah?); to George Heici (??) (Vol. 86, p. 527)
